Destination Wedding CharlestonDestination Wedding Charleston

Destination Wedding Charleston ” has become a popular request for bridal couples as of late.  Charleston has become a popular destination for all sorts of events and activities.  Everyone from NBC to CBS to travel magazines has “discovered” Charleston, naming Charleston one of the prettiest, nicest and exciting cities in the country.  No wonder that “Destination Wedding Charleston” makes perfect sense as a request.

What sort of things makes a “destination wedding Charleston” its own unique brand?  Here are a few things you will find in Charleston that are different and unique to the area.

  • Lowcountry cuisine.  The influences for Lowcountry food is as varied as the people who started settling here in 1670.  The African influences make such simple foods as okra and grits really something to celebrate.  Add fresh seafood – including some of the best shrimp in the world – and you’ve got some great choices for rehearsal dinners and wedding receptions.
  • Historic homes.  Yes, it’s an obvious reason that the “Destination Wedding Charleston” brand makes its mark, but there are nooks and crannies in the city that are different than anywhere in the country.  Plus, there are so many of them! 
  • Carriages.  One the favorite parts of my wedding was the carriage ride from the church to the reception venue.  Although there are other cities that offer carriage rides, very few can boast a ride through antebellum mansions along streets with amazing gardens and residents toasting you from the front porches (called piazzas in this magical place).
  • Water everywhere.  Want to get married near the ocean, a marsh, a river, a creek or small lake?  Want to take a dinner cruise for your reception?  You can have it all and have so many choices of waterfront views, and all within easy driving distance of each other.

Anyone who has chosen a “Destination Wedding Charleston” for a wedding venue can certainly create a much longer list.  Suffice it to say that choosing Charleston for a wedding opens up a world of possibilities for memorable occasions.
