Planning a wedding venue in Charleston
How much do wedding venues cost in Charleston?

What questions should we ask on a venue tour?
Ask about rain plans, vendor restrictions, overtime fees, when vendors can load in, what the service charge covers, and exactly when you get the space. Get the full fee schedule in writing before signing.
