Dear Charleston Brides and Grooms,
How do you pick your ideal Charleston Wedding or Elopement Venue?? There are countless beautiful places in Charleston for a wedding ceremony, reception, elopement, microwedding, etc. Each are unique, and offer something different for you as the couple (and your guests).
Throughout my time in Charleston as a wedding officiant, I have discovered some truly stunning spots! Visiting White Point Gardens, or Magnolia Plantation really never gets old!
Let's get to know some of my favorite wedding ceremony venues, as a Charleston Wedding Officiant.
