Weddings
A setting unlike any other

Imagine a place where stories are told in weathered bricks, grand vistas, and aged oak trees…where the sun sets on a Victorian reflecting pond and stars take their place above an architectural masterpiece…a site that's seen three centuries of American history…where the Ashley River murmurs nearby and musical notes roll across the lush green lawn.

After the site is closed to the general public, Drayton Hall opens its gates for wedding ceremonies and receptions. The historic house at Drayton Hall (c. 1738) provides the ultimate backdrop for an event you will remember forever.

Because of its special preserved condition, Drayton Hall can host just 12 weddings a year. Whether you are planning an intimate gathering or a grand celebration, we can work with you and your event planner to accommodate your wishes.

Reserving a Date
Because of the site's unique state of preservation, we can only host 12 weddings each year-a fact that will make your wedding even more special.

We encourage you to book early, especially if you are considering months in the spring and fall, as we host a number of other special events throughout the year.

To learn more or to reserve a date, please contact Natalie Baker by phone, 843-769-2638.

Because of the site's limited availability, a 50% non-refundable deposit is required at the time of your reservation. We will gladly apply that deposit to your overall rental fee.
