Best Charleston hotel wedding venues?

Belmond Charleston Place (grand ballroom, ~300), Hotel Bennett (~250), the Dewberry (~200), Wentworth Mansion (~140 in the boutique-mansion format), and the Mills House. The historic Wentworth and the Vendue lean toward smaller, more intimate weddings.

Do Charleston hotels include catering for weddings?

Yes — almost all of them require in-house catering and bar service. Per-person rates typically include menu, bar, service, ballroom, ceremony space, and a hotel coordinator. Florals, photographer, and music are still booked separately.

Full-service ballrooms

Charleston hotel wedding venues

Full-service ballrooms, on-property guest blocks, and the catering-included packages that simplify Charleston weddings.

Hotels are the Charleston wedding option built for couples who want one phone call instead of fifteen. Belmond Charleston Place, Hotel Bennett, the Dewberry, Wentworth Mansion, and the Vendue all run full-service wedding programs — ceremony space, reception ballroom, on-property guest block, in-house catering and bar, and a dedicated event manager. The trade-off is creative restriction (most hotels require you to use their catering and bar) and total cost: hotel ballrooms typically run $200—$400/person all-in. The upside is logistical sanity, especially for out-of-town couples whose guests are flying in.
