Chateau Amelia, located in Upstate SC, is a magnificent gem ready to host events of up to 100 guests. The family owned boutique wedding and events venue offers a stunning blend of old world charm with the elegance of modern glam. The Victorian-era historic home is a meticulously kept mini mansion with an extensive wrap-around porch, while our events barn is a thoughtfully designed events hall all set on 4 acres of gardens. Behind the events barn you will find a cocktail patio with cafe lights and cocktail tables under the canopy of the romantic forest. Follow the pathway from the patio to the wooded backdrop ceremony site equipped with a ceremony arch. Located between the metros of Greenville, SC, Columbia, SC and Augusta, GA and within close proximity to Lake Greenwood, Greenwood, Clinton and Laurens, make this charming venue the place for an unforgettable wedding day.

We got married here in April 2024 and it was so beautiful. When our plans to wed in a National park near Columbia SC fell through due to torrential rain forecast, we stumbled across Chateau Amelia. We couldn't have had a more lucky turn of events, because this place offered exactly what we needed for our small group. I had always wanted to get married in a forest setting and this place delivered! The historic house is so huge and well appointed and the barn is so modern and lovely. You can tell everything is well maintained and it offered so many great moments for photography. We were able to have all our vendors come and go and everything turned out just great. If you are considering Chateau Amelia, run do not walk because this will be a popular venue in the months and years to come.

The Cotton Loft 

5.0

Clinton, SC
  • Up to 700 guests
  • All-inclusive
  • Indoor

A group of professional caterers and hospitality employees envisioned an event space like no other. A space vast enough to hold large events without compromising the ambiance and charm of a quaint family gathering. A place rich in history with significant ties to our communities. We were lead to an aging, almost forgotten piece of our past. The old Cotton Depot in Clinton SC quietly sat on the edge of downtown. The building spoke to us, 17,000 square feet of handmade brick each telling a story, 11ft ceilings with exposed beams, arched windows and wide planked floors. We immediately began designing the space. Through our catering experience we knew the need for easy access, a good flow and having conveniently located facilities. We also knew the importance of having multifunctioning spaces that can be dressed up or down to make each event uniquely yours. From the most elegant affair to down home country charm, Cotton Loft is merely a canvas. The picture we paint is yours.

My husband and I got married at The Cotton Loft in June 2023 and it was an absolute dream! Star was super accommodating with our limited schedules (we planned our wedding from out-of-state) and did everything she could to make it the perfect day! Star also provided the catering & bar services for our day and our guests raved about the food, the space- Everything was perfect. If you’re thinking about getting married at The Cotton Loft, it’s 100% worth it!

Hartley House Event Venue 

5.0

Batesburg, SC
  • Up to 200 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $2,400

The Hartley House (also known as the Bond-Bates-Hartley House) located in Batesburg-Leesville, South Carolina was built circa 1790 for John Pearson Bond. The house later came into possession of John Bates, husband of John Pearson Bond’s great niece and a member of the family that the town of Batesburg was named for. There are many local legends surrounding this house and it’s friendly visitors. According to local tradition, the Bond-Bates-Hartley House served as a stagecoach stop and post office, prior to the founding of the town of Batesburg. Architecturally the house is a typical upcountry farmhouse, with a portico adapted from the Greek Revival style.

I am a wedding photographer, and I think the wedding that I shot at Hartley House in December 2021 might be my favorite one yet! The house itself is beautiful along with the perfect decor and design that is in every room. Photographers will be happy to hear that large windows in the getting-ready rooms bring in plenty of natural light! The locations for the ceremony and reception are right next to the house, which makes things very convenient for wedding party members and all the guests. The Hartley House staff is also very kind and easy to communicate with. I highly suggest booking this venue. I'd love to go back and photograph another wedding!
