Destination weddings in SCDestination weddings in SC

Planning a destination wedding in SC can lead you in all sorts of directions, from the tree-covered mountains of the Upstate Region to the gently rolling hills of the Midlands area.  The idea of destination wedding sin SC usually means taking advantage of the rich history and culture of the Lowcountry, and Charleston in particular.  In fact, Charleston was just voted the friendliest city in the country by Travel+Leisure magazine and has finally been confirmed by the national media as one of the prettiest cities in the country. 

So what makes destination weddings in SC usually end up in Charleston?  We’ll start with the beautiful beaches, as well as the quaint beach communities that are spread up and down the coast.  There’s nothing quite the same as a beach wedding, and destination weddings in SC often mean beach weddings.  Not only can bridal couples choose from three different world-class resorts in Kiawah, Seabrook and Wild Dunes, but they also can choose from the beach communities of Folly Beach, Sullivan’s Island and Isle of Palms.    And even if the wedding celebrations occur somewhere other than on the beach, the friends and family of the bridal couple can combine a vacation at the beach with the wedding by staying in one of numerous beach rental properties.

Another obvious reason that destination weddings in SC find their way to Charleston is the historic locations in and around the city that make for a wedding to remember for a lifetime.  The historic Peninsula area has a number of beautiful hotels and historic homes that can host the bridal couple.  A wide choice of reception halls are scattered about the historic area as well.    You’ll also see a number of happy couples wandering through the city in a horse drawn carriage as they are taken from the wedding to the reception in Charlestonian style. 

The other choices for a magical day to remember are far too numerous to mention.  Although there are lots of great choices for destination weddings in SC, Charleston is hard to beat.  As you begin thinking about a place for your wedding that also provides a great getaway for your friends and family, be sure to take a close look at Charleston.
