About Charleston, South Carolina

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.

Known for its Rainbow Row, plantation houses, Gullah cuisine, carriage rides, Folly Beach, Charleston, South Carolina is one of the world's most sought-after travel destinations. Whether you're planning a honeymoon, a destination wedding, a group adventure, or a solo journey, The Wedding Unicorn handles every detail — from flights and accommodations to private excursions and special occasion touches.
