A Wedding Day That Feels Intentional and Unrushed
Time to soak it all in on your special day in South Carolina.
One of the biggest advantages of a full wedding day at Château Amelia is having the time and space to truly enjoy it.
From quiet getting-ready moments in the historic mini-mansion to your ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, and time on the dance floor, the estate allows your celebration to unfold naturally in one private setting.
Whether you prefer the independence of Estate Essentials or the added planning, styling, and wedding-day support of Coordinated Estate, both options give you the flexibility to create a wedding experience that reflects your priorities, personality, and style.
From a garden ceremony or enchanted forest backdrop to an elegant reception in the barn, you can make the estate feel distinctly your own.
Which BYO Vendor Experience Is Right for You?
Choose the level of support that feels right for your wedding.
Estate Essentials may be the right fit if you:
- Want a more affordable full-estate wedding option
- Prefer to manage your own planning, vendors, décor sourcing and details
- Have friends, family or vendors who can help execute your plans
- Want the freedom to create and style the celebration yourself
- Are planning a Sunday–Thursday wedding
Coordinated Estate may be the right fit if you:
- Want to choose your own wedding vendors
- Want professional planning and timeline support
- Prefer to have décor, centerpieces and styling provided by the venue
- Don't want to manage vendors or setup /teardown on your wedding day
- Want experienced wedding-day coordination
- Need Friday or Saturday availability
Both options give you the freedom to choose your own vendors. The difference is how much of the planning, décor sourcing and styling, and wedding-day management you want to handle yourself.
