Looking for a place to get married in Columbia? I’ve had so many people ask me what venues are nice, because they just didn’t know where to start looking! There are SO many great venues in Columbia, but today I’m going to share 7 of my favorites! I’ll show one of my favorite photos from each venue, then link to the Website and Facebook page if possible!

If you have questions about my experience at these venues, leave a comment at the bottom of the page and I’ll get back to you (I’m sure some of the venue managers will visit the post as well). If you have another venue that you think I should add to my next list, leave that in the comments as well. There are so many great venues, and these are not the only awesome places.

Here they are in no particular order:

Wavering Place
A beautiful historic plantation that is very unique for Columbia. It feels like stepping into a different time and place. This is one of those places you NEED to visit to appreciate.

A Columbia Classic! Such an amazing restored historic building. You’ll love the textures and the open space to let your creative juices flow!

Stone River
We will be shooting our first wedding at Stone River in a few months, but I thought I’d go ahead and include it because we love the location and the people who run this venue are outstanding. Here is a shot I took of the pavilion, where you can have a small ceremony, cocktail hour, bar, or reception lounge area!
