Are you thinking about saying “I Do” in the Lowcountry, but you are still not quite sure if its the right place for you? Then you have come to the right place! Below, we have listed 4 wonderful reasons why you should say “I Do” in the Lowcountry!

  1. Miles of Soft Sandy Beaches and Beautiful Marsh Front Venues: If you have always dreamed of having an ocean front wedding, then the Lowcountry is for you! The Lowcountry offers miles of gorgeous coastal views from sandy beaches and views of the intercostal waterway, to oceanfront parks like the Charleston Battery or the Beaufort Waterfront. The Lowcountry is the perfect place to make even the most extravagant dream wedding come true! All you have to do is pick your venue.
  2. Laid Back Approach t0 Entertainment: The Lowcountry definitely runs at different pace when it comes to entertainment. The Lowcountry is all about relaxation and a go-at-our-own-pace attitude. If you are lucky enough to visit the Lowcountry, you are guaranteed to see the locals relaxing on the ocean with long boat rides, listening and dancing to live music at the local beach bar, and enjoying a local oyster roast with family and friends.
  3. Unparalleled Hospitality: There is a reason that the phrase “Southern Hospitality” is widely known across the U.S. and we can confidently say, “Yes, it is true.” In our experience, people in the Lowcountry are particularly more warm, sweet, and welcoming to visitors, than anywhere else in the U.S. This warm and welcoming attitude is especially reflected in the local businesses of the Lowcountry. If you are curious to know if a restaurant will cater a certain dish or if a dress shop can get a dress from particular designer, then be sure to ask! Chances are they will say yes or find a way to meet your needs!
  4. Delicious Cuisine: If there is one thing that your guests will remember from your Lowcountry wedding, it will almost always be the food! The Lowcountry has its own unique cuisine that you will not find anywhere else in the world! Lowcountry cuisine is rich in not only in taste but also tradition. Most Lowcountry dishes are old family recipes, past down from generation to generation. They have strong African cuisine influences and have strong parallels with New Orleans and Cajun cuisine. Lowcountry cooking is also rich in diversity of seafood from the local coastal estuaries. Below are list of a few famous Lowcountry dishes to help you design your Lowcountry wedding menu:
    1. She-crab soup
    2. Gumbo
    3. Brunswick Stew
