From the reviews
This is such a beautiful venue for weddings and receptions.. My stepson married his beautiful bride yesterday, and they had their reception there as well.. They have a beautiful place outside to take wedding photos and family photos! This was actually the 2nd wedding I've been to there.
This is a beautiful venue for not only weddings but adult birthday parties. There is a full kitchen, twin fridges, & a dishwasher as well. The interior is nicely decorated with white lights adding the the already charming atmosphere.
We had plans to do family pictures outside at another location. It rained all day and we scrambled to find somewhere. When I contacted Southern Charm on a late notice (a few hours) to see if we could take some there, they were so accommodating and let us use the property for our pictures.
Our daughter's wedding here in May 2020 (during Covid) was wonderful. The owner was very responsive to our needs. The venue is beautiful, spacious and accommodated our needs for social distance during the restrictions. Price was very good and the venue is new and updated. Overall great experience!
Getting married at Southern Charm
Southern Charm comes up for weddings — confirmed on their own site. 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 Southern Charm
Reviews and the venue's own info mention corporate events, retreats, or private parties at Southern Charm — 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.
