Day or Overnight Options | Lodging for 16 | Up to 100 Guests
Château Amelia is a historic estate wedding venue in Upstate South Carolina,
specializing in intimate, micro, and all-inclusive weddings with on-site lodging.
Some weddings feel beautiful but rushed. Others feel large, complicated, and hard to enjoy in the moment.
Château Amelia was created for something different.
Here, intimate does not mean scaled back. It means more time with the people you love, more room to breathe, and a celebration that feels intentional from beginning to end.
Many venues are designed for large weddings and simply scaled down. Château Amelia is intentionally designed for smaller celebrations, so the space feels complete, not empty or oversized.
Whether you’re inviting 20 guests or 100, your wedding should feel warm, unhurried, and genuinely yours. That is often exactly what couples are hoping to find when they search for small wedding venues near me.
For couples who want more than a few rushed hours, Château Amelia offers something many venues do not: the ability to celebrate and stay on-site in one beautiful place.
With lodging for up to 16 overnight guests, your wedding can unfold more naturally — from getting ready in the morning to late-night conversation after the reception and a slower, more peaceful start the next day.
Whether you choose a one-night or two-night stay, a destination wedding venue with lodging allows everyone to relax in one place without the need to scatter once the music ends.

“Atmosphere is insanely relaxing. Staff are so professional, polite, friendly — kind of like you always wished family was like. When the adrenaline was pumping and the nerves were fraying, the staff just appeared and said, ‘We’ve got this.’ Then… they did.” Preston B, Day Wedding | 10/13/2025
“The venue was perfect for an intimate wedding on a budget. My daughter had her best day ever and my husband and I didn’t have to touch our 401K. I would highly recommend getting the house as well — it is beautiful for out-of-town guests or the bridal party.” Trina B, 2-Night Stay Overnight Wedding | 6/7/2025
“Thank you to Château Amelia for providing the perfect venue for mine and my husband’s special day. The mini mansion is absolutely gorgeous and creates the most beautiful background for stunning pictures. We couldn’t have asked for a better day.” Raegan M, Day Rental | 5/10/2025
