A Dream Wedding at Legare Waring House Review: I recently had the pleasure of attending a wedding at the Legare Waring House in Charleston, SC, and I must say, it was an absolutely unforgettable experience.

★★★★★ — Billy, May 2023

My husband and I fell in love as soon as we drove through the gates. We knew we were going to get married at Lagare before we were even engaged. The grounds are beautiful & the staff amazing. Having access to the house the entire day, made for a calm setting to get ready on a crazy wedding day!

Getting married at Legare Waring House

Legare Waring House comes up for weddings, going by their listing and couples’ reviews. Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see it at the time of day you'd actually get married — a barn that glows at golden hour can feel very different at noon, and you'll want to walk the path your guests take from parking to ceremony to reception. Second, bring your real questions: the rain plan (where does the ceremony move?), the catering and bar policy, the music curfew, and exactly what's included with the rental — tables, chairs, setup, and teardown are where quotes quietly diverge. Popular dates at barn venues book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.

Corporate events & private parties at Legare Waring House

Reviews and the venue's own info mention corporate events, retreats, or private parties at Legare Waring House — barn venues often have real weekday availability since weddings claim the weekends. A quick call answers the three things that matter: weekday and off-season rates, whether the space works for your headcount and A/V needs, and what catering is allowed. If your event lands on a Friday or Saturday in wedding season, ask early.
