Oh, my goodness! It has been sooooo hard containing this info for the last couple weeks, y'all! If you know me even a little bit, you know keeping secrets is NOT my strong suit. The venues we've lined up for the next Scarlet Wedding Tour are going to be nothing short of uh-MAZE-ing! As you probably already know from the last Tour, we here at SPD pride ourselves on showcasing an array of venues to our guests. Last time we had Charleston Harbor Resort & Marina, Boone Hall Plantation, Historic Rice Mill and Upstairs at Midtown as our venues giving guests a taste of four uniquely different Charleston venues. This time we're showing different locations but all still very much The Holy City. Three of them are downtown and the fourth is on nearby Johns Island, only 15 minutes from the Peninsula.
Sadly we can't share the design themes of the venues until they're revealed on Sunday, July 26, but make sure you buy your tickets now so you don't miss a thing!
First up we've got Wingate Plantation out on Johns Island. If you haven't been there yet, call Sarah and make an appointment right this second! It's a gorgeous hidden gem sitting on acres and acres of land just oozing with laid back Southern Charm.
Next we've got The Cedar Room at the old Cigar Factory on East Bay St. Oh, my stars, this venue absolutely kills me!! Opening later this spring, their 8000+ square feet of industrial, wide open event space is the perfect spot for larger weddings and events. Honestly it might be one of the biggest wide open event spaces (outside of a hotel ballroom) in Charleston and I'm smitten! Exposed brick, super tall ceilings, wood beams, and history...ah, l'amour! Oh, and they even have a gorgeous garden out back!
You'll never see this next venue coming... we've got Charleston's most haunted building, Old City Jail! Most folks are familiar with this building's sordid past and infamous former residents, some of which never moved on, but few are aware of the fact that it doubles as an event venue. Not for the faint of heart {or the very traditional couple!}, this space is perfect for the couple that craves something different {and maybe even a few phantom crashers!} for their Big Day!
Finally we are overjoyed to announce the fourth locale and one of Charleston's newest and most incredible venues, Cannon Green. Featuring two unique event spaces, The Trolley Room and The Courtyard, and an intimate 80 seat restaurant, Cannon Green is an absolute gem. Blending industrial elements with both rustic and Mediterranean, this venue is effortlessly chic and elegant while remaining firmly Southern. Easily one of the most unique venues in a city that is simply bursting with one-of-a-kind finds! And with Chef Amalia Scatena leading their culinary team, your guests will be wowed by not only the stunning venue but the menu as well.
Can you tell I'm excited?!? Y'all, I seriously can't even. Eeeek! This Tour is going to be showstopping and we cannot wait to load all our lovely engaged couples onto the buses provided by Lowcountry Valet again {arguably my favorite transportation vendor in the history of ever, I mean, have you seen their fleet?!}. Fully restored vintage cars and buses, tandem bicycles, and even a couple school buses.... Oops, I'm off on a tangent!
In any case, we look forward to seeing you on Sunday, July 26 on the Scarlet Wedding Tour!
happy planning, loves!
