Getting Married in Charleston, South Carolina
Charleston, South Carolina is a breathtaking destination-wedding location. Charleston is America's most elegant small city — a beautifully preserved antebellum port city where horse-drawn carriages pass pastel mansions, church steeples mark a skyline that has changed little in 200 years, and the food scene (Low Country cuisine, James Beard nominees) is extraordinary.
Charleston plantation and historic church venues are among the South's most beautiful. Rainbow Row and Waterfront Park offer photogenic public backdrop options.
The Wedding Unicorn coordinates Charleston, South Carolina destination weddings end-to-end — venue sourcing and negotiation, vendor coordination (photographers, florists, caterers, musicians), legal marriage documentation, guest travel block negotiation, multi-day event itineraries (welcome dinner, rehearsal, ceremony, day-after brunch), and complete day-of management.
We know what Charleston, South Carolina requires for legal or symbolic ceremonies, and we have the vendor relationships to deliver quality that matches the extraordinary setting.
