Good to Know
Planning a South Carolina wedding
- How much does a wedding cost in South Carolina?
- The statewide average is roughly $30,000–$35,000 for a 100–125 guest wedding, but region matters: Charleston and Hilton Head weddings commonly run $40,000+, while Upstate and Midlands weddings frequently come in between $20,000 and $30,000 for the same guest count. Venue and catering together usually absorb 40–50% of the budget.
- What are the best wedding regions in South Carolina?
- The five main wedding markets are Charleston & the Lowcountry (historic estates, waterfront), Myrtle Beach & the Grand Strand (oceanfront resorts and beach ceremonies), Greenville & the Upstate (mountain foothills and downtown venues), Columbia & the Midlands (central, budget-friendly, Lake Murray), and Hilton Head & Beaufort (sea-island resorts and Lowcountry oaks). Each has a distinct style and price level.
- How do we get a marriage license in South Carolina?
- Apply together in person at any South Carolina county probate court — the license is valid statewide. There's a 24-hour waiting period after applying, no blood test, and no residency requirement. Fees vary by county (roughly $30–$100), so check your county's probate court before you go.
