*OFFERING IN-PERSON AND VIDEO TOURS!
Whether you are from the Lowcountry or planning a destination wedding in Charleston, we hope that your guests will feel at home when you invite them to Magnolia Plantation to celebrate with you. In the springtime you will find our gardens filled with colorful azaleas and wisteria. During the warmer months of summer, vibrant crepe myrtle, hydrangeas, and our iconic magnolias fill the property. Fall brings an encore season of azaleas, morning glory, and the beginning of camellias. Throughout the winter months, our historic gardens showcase America's largest collection of camellias.

For elopements, which is considered a small ceremony for just the wedding couple, we charge a flat fee of $500. This simply covers admission for the two of you, your photographer, officiant and gives you access to the entire plantation for you to take pictures afterwards. An officiant, photographer, etc. would be booked separately. Please note that you will not be renting a venue on property, so you have the capability to have your ceremony wherever you would like. The options are endless whether it be underneath the swooping oaks or nestled in the gardens!
