Belle's Venue and Farms was THE perfect venue choice for our wedding. From the very beginning, Brittany was so helpful and supportive as she guided us through the planning process. Viewing the venue, asking questions, signing contracts and making payments was always a breeze! Brittany truly has a gift. Every time I visited the venue, she had her iPad ready to take detailed notes which she would share with me- (even if I changed my mind a couple times hehe...) She was so attentive to any questions I had and I could tell she really cares about making a couples wedding day visions come to life. Belle's is truly a budget friendly, all-in-one venue without sacrificing quality. There are a few ceremony options, including inside, to fit any couples preference. All of the available decor were all great quality and went so well with the aesthetic of the venue. The venue and property are STUNNING- (I wasn't going to add photos here because the website speaks for itself!!) Gorgeous farm tables and chairs, aesthetic lightning inside and out and you can't beat the location. It's truly a small-town farm oasis with endless spots for photos! We are so beyond grateful to Brittany and her team at Belle's Venue and Farms for making our special day everything we dreamed of and more. I cannot recommend enough! Please at least book a tour here! You won't be disappointed!

They were ready to help with everything we needed and met all that we were looking for. Everyone invited was in love with the cottage and the venue space. I think the weekend package is an incredible deal and was absolutely worth it. The space itself was everything that I had dreamed of and it all came together so beautifully.

About wedding venues in Ruby, SC

Why Is South Carolina the Perfect Wedding Destination?

South Carolina offers a wedding landscape that's truly unforgettable. You'll find historic Charleston mansions with breathtaking 18th-century architecture, oak-lined plantation entrances that create dramatic photo opportunities, and Lowcountry waterfront settings showcasing spectacular marsh views. Looking for variety? The state delivers everything from coastal properties with sweeping Atlantic Ocean panoramas to secluded barrier island venues that capture South Carolina's natural beauty at its finest. June tops the popularity charts for venue inquiries despite the summer heat; those coastal sea breezes make all the difference.

What's the Average Cost of a Wedding Venue in South Carolina?

Wedding venues in South Carolina typically run about $7,821, eating up roughly 17% of your total wedding budget.

Charleston commands premium prices for its historic charm while venues in the Midlands region offer more budget-friendly options without sacrificing quality.

  • 50 guests: $19,875
  • 100 guests: $32,963
  • 150 guests: $45,268

What Questions Should You Ask Before Booking a South Carolina Venue?

Ask about exclusive catering requirements since historic venues often limit kitchen facilities for preservation reasons. Get clarity on exact rental periods as many venues offer limited time windows instead of full-day access which affects your timeline. Understand capacity limitations particularly for historic properties with preservation restrictions that might impact your guest list. Request specifics on accessibility features beyond basic ADA compliance to ensure all guests feel welcome. For waterfront venues inquire about preferred tent vendors for rain contingencies; you'll want options that complement the setting while providing proper protection.

How Do Seasonal Considerations Affect South Carolina Venue Selection?

Charleston faces hurricane risk from June through November with August bringing peak humidity that can challenge outdoor events. Greenville venues enjoy cooler temperatures than coastal locations giving you more comfort flexibility during summer months. June leads venue inquiry timing despite potential heat challenges because coastal venues benefit from refreshing sea breezes that inland locations can't match. Smart couples look for venues with climate-controlled backup options; an essential feature given South Carolina's sometimes unpredictable summer weather patterns that can shift from perfect to problematic quickly.
