When you think of Charleston, what’s the first thing that comes to mind? Personally I think of a gorgeous plantation, a beautiful water view, live oaks draped with Spanish moss, and a spectacular southern garden. If this is your ideal setting for your wedding then the Carriage House at Magnolia Plantation and Gardens is the perfect venue.
You walk up and you have a breathtaking view of the Ashley River. It’s the perfect back drop for the two of you to say “I Do”. Imagine an aisle lined with hydrangea and rose petals with large wrought iron lanterns hanging from the trees. It’s a warm sunny day with a cool breeze blowing off the water. Your guests are able to enjoy a refreshing glass of sweet tea while they anxiously await the bride and groom’s arrival. Sounds like something from your dreams right? Well, we can easily make this a reality for you.
The patio is a great spot for cocktail hour. Guests can enjoy his & her cocktails and hors d’oeuvres while you are taking pictures. It’s always nice to have a little trio or guitarist playing in the background during this time. There is also built in firepit on the patio, which comes in handy during the cooler months.
The actual carriage house itself is a blank canvas, which is great because your imagination can run wild! No matter how many weddings we plan at this venue it looks completely different every single time. It’s always fun to see what we can come up with next. We have had flowers dripping from the chandeliers, fabric draped ceilings, lounge furniture, and any color you can imagine. The design has ranged from more of a rustic feel to an elegant dinner and everything in between.
So by now, it must be pretty clear why the Carriage House is one of our favorite venues in Charleston. It’s a picturesque setting for an outdoor southern wedding. Your guests will be raving about their experience for years to come!
