Two Ceremony Settings, One Meaningful Moment

Choose the backdrop that feels most like you at Laurel Haven Estate, 3341 Taxahaw Road in Lancaster, SC.

  • Vineyard ceremony: Exchange your vows with the vineyard as your backdrop, a natural choice for couples drawn to the estate’s growing vines and outdoor setting.
  • Waterfront ceremony: Choose the water as the setting for your vows, an alternative to the vineyard backdrop for your outdoor ceremony.

Your selected ceremony service includes the vineyard or waterfront location, day-of coordination and rehearsal, chair and arch setup, and ceremony breakdown and cleanup. The ceremony site is a separately priced selection. Planning a reception-only celebration? Simply leave the ceremony site unselected.

Share your guest count, preferred setting, and date with our team so we can discuss the seating layout, access, and weather arrangements for your celebration. Explore estate wedding photographs, then note which setting you would like to see on your tour.

What Your Wedding Experience Includes

Spend more of the day with your people, with practical support already part of your wedding plans:

  • Venue and event-day coordination: Our team helps coordinate your estate arrangements and event timeline, with rehearsal guidance and ceremony direction when your celebration includes a ceremony. This is venue coordination rather than full-service wedding planning; you and your chosen vendors arrange and deliver the outside services you book. Your proposal confirms our team’s responsibilities.
  • Setup and breakdown: Venue turnover, décor placement, and post-event breakdown, with the estate team supporting your guests throughout the celebration.
  • Tables and seating: Tables and seating for both your ceremony and reception, plus table linens and faux floral arrangements.
  • Dining essentials: Plates, napkins, cups, and utensils. Charger plates are an optional upgrade.
  • Getting-ready rooms: The Magnolia Suite for hair, makeup, and dressing, and The Vineyard Lodge for the wedding party to gather, get ready, and relax. Both are included at no additional charge with wedding and micro-wedding packages.

Getting-ready access, vendor setup, and departure times are arranged in your wedding timeline. Getting-ready use does not include an overnight reservation. Rooms for overnight stays are booked separately, subject to availability.
