Why do I as a wedding officiant love this Charleston wedding venue?
The size.. Take a look at all the space up at the front of the church! Even with a huge bridal party, there is enough room for everyone.
The acoustics... as a wedding officiant who marries people for a living, I like to know what the audio situation is before I arrive at a wedding ceremony venue. If you have a friend or family member acting as your wedding officiant, this might not be something they think about until right before the ceremony. No worries! St. Luke's Chapel is equipped with a sound system for your wedding ceremony. No DJ need for your wedding ceremony here.
The photo ops... as an accountant turned wedding officiant, it's hard for me to get a good shot for an Instagram story. But with a wedding ceremony venue like St. Luke's Chapel, the work is pretty much done for you! Note: The pictures in this blog were taken by the talented Jay Dee Photography, not my iPhone.

P.S. The ring bearer for Tony and Lindsay's ceremony took a little snooze in the middle of the ceremony. I swear, this ceremony was not lengthy! I do love this shot of the ring bearer making himself comfortable, haha.
