THE GOVERNOR THOMAS BENNETT HOUSE

Built in 1825, the Thomas Bennett House is as sweet + Southern as they come. Featuring a beautiful piazza, quiet garden, and classic oyster tabby courtyard, it is listed in the National Register of Historic Places and is the perfect setting for a true Southern wedding experience.

The Governor Thomas Bennett House is a stunning historic home, tucked away in the heart of downtown Charleston.

Getting Ready

The second story of the Thomas Bennett House is the perfect space for the bride + bridesmaids to get ready! Featuring large windows and plenty of room to spread out, it's a great "home base" for the day. I usually recommend having the groom + groomsmen arrive at the venue before the First Look and finish getting ready downstairs for a cohesive look in your full gallery of images.

Ceremony Space

The beautiful garden at the Thomas Bennett House is incredibly special and picturesque. Whether you want to decorate the fountain, add a beautiful floral arch, or bring in wooden church pews... this sweet ceremony location is yours to customize!

Reception Space

Tenting the oyster tabby courtyard creates a well-defined reception space where your friends + family can dine together and dance the night away. I'm partial to the Sperry tent because it gives the space a light + airy feel!
