WEDDINGS AT THE GARDEN 

The Charleston Tea Garden is the perfect venue to celebrate your special day. There is no other setting that can afford you such charming and unique surroundings.  Having your wedding here will provide both you and your guests with an unbelievably memorable  experience. The grounds of the Garden are the perfect setting, with endless rows of Camelia Sinensis tea plants and huge, incomparable Oak Trees. 

You can choose to have your ceremony under the draping branches of the Garden's oldest Live Oak, known as the "wedding tree" or in a more open location, surrounded by acres and acres of breathtaking tea plants.  

The Garden is such a naturally beautiful setting. Every aspect of the grounds will lend to the beauty of your wedding day. Even the entrance to the Garden is unbelievably enchanting with its draping Oaks forming an almost perfect archway welcoming your guests.

Our Pavilion, located in the tranquil tea fields, makes for a picturesque reception location. From this spot, your guests will enjoy the excitement of your wedding reception as they soak in the charm and beauty of their unique surroundings. The Pavilion sits in one of the most accessible areas on the grounds and has overhead lighting and ceiling fans to help create a breeze on those warm summer days.

The front porch to our Garden Gift Shoppe can be staged to either make the perfect setting for a cocktail hour or greeting location for your arriving guests. If you're having a smaller wedding, the front porch could also be the ideal location to host your entire reception. The Live Oaks surrounding this space are shady and inviting providing plenty of ideal and picturesque places for additional tables and seating.

The Trolleys are available for shuttling your guests around the Garden. This will provide your guests safe transportation to your wedding venue of choice, while also allowing them the unique and entertaining experience of touring more of our scenic 127 acre grounds. The Trolleys can also transport the bride and her bridal party to the wedding location, providing for a grand entrance to the big event.

If you are looking for the perfect Southern setting, the Charleston Tea Garden is it!  It is a living part of Lowcountry history.  Filled with Southern charm and historic beauty, the Charleston Tea Garden is the absolute picture perfect venue to host an event as special as your wedding day.
