Chateau Amelia

A Thoughtful Alternative to a Full Wedding Day

An Intimate Elopement Experience in Upstate South Carolina Near Greenville.

For couples searching for elopements in Upstate South Carolina or near Greenville, you may be drawn to something quieter — fewer guests, less planning, and a moment that feels grounded and personal.

At Château Amelia, elopements are not rushed courthouse ceremonies. They take place within our historic estate wedding venue in South Carolina and gardens, offering a peaceful backdrop for couples who want their vows to feel intentional and supported — just on a smaller scale.

Many couples who inquire about elopements ultimately decide to host a micro wedding or full wedding day here instead, but for the right couple, an elopement can be a beautiful fit.
