    The place wedding dreams come true

    The Lace House was my dream venue for years - and let me tell you, she did not dissappoint!! The staff is SO WONDERFUL and helpful in every aspect of planning up to the big day itself. Sarah was always quick with communication and had great suggestions for all things wedding/Columbia area. The house and gardens are absolutely STUNNING year round. My husband&I truly had our dream wedding here a few weeks ago. Our guests were in absolute awe of the entire grounds and still raving about it. Choose The Lace House - you will not regret it!!!

    South Carolina Lace House's reply:

    Cooper,
    Awe, we are so glad we were your dream venue. We so appreciate your kind review. Sarah is a great asset and we are fortunate to have her at the Venues at Arsenal Hill. Best wishes to you and your husband!

    Absolutely Stunning

    The Lace House is such a beautiful venue, with an abundance of naturally stunning features and lush greenery that serves as its own built-in decorations. It was the first venue we toured, and none of the venues that we looked at after that could compare. We used the Wedding Garden for our ceremony and it was gorgeous. Sarah was so helpful and accommodating through the planning process, and I really appreciated her willingness to always answer any questions I had. I'm so super happy that we chose this venue. Book it early if you fall in love with it too, because their dates go fast!

    South Carolina Lace House's reply:

    Sarah,
    Thank you for your kind word and thank you for choosing the Lace House as the backdrop to your wedding celebration. We are so happy the Lace House at Arsenal Hill exceeded your expectations. We agree Sarah is an incredible asset to our rental team.
    Best Wishes to you and Matthew!

    Stunning Venue

    Our wedding at The Lace House was an absolute dream! From the incredible bridal and grooms suites to the absolutely stunning grounds and historic house, we knew this was our venue immediately upon touring it. With multiple different options for outdoor ceremony spaces which are surrounded by the most amazing landscaping and fountains, AND the kindest, most helpful staff, The Lace House is truly the full package. Thank you to everyone who helped make our day exactly what we envisioned and more!

    South Carolina Lace House's reply:

    Brittany,
    We so appreciate your kind review. We do our best to make every bride happy. History has been kind to the Lace House and we are thankful it has been protected and maintained. Thank you for choosing the Lace House at your backdrop for your wedding. Wishing you a lifetime of love and happiness!

    Exceptional!

    My husband and I had our wedding at the Lace House on 3/19/2022 and could not have been more pleased with our experience. It was truly the best day of our lives and it could not have happened without the experienced staff from the Lace House. We had our ceremony in the Wedding Garden and our Reception on the Mansion Mall. From the beginning of the planning process to even a few days after our wedding, the Lace House staff went above and beyond to make sure all our needs were met. I highly recommend the Lace House for any upcoming event!

    South Carolina Lace House's reply:

    Hi Megan! Thank you so much for these kind words. We enjoyed being a part of you and Michael's big day and are so glad you choose to celebrate at the Lace House. Best wishes to you both!

    Elegant Venue

    The Lace House was a perfect venue for the rehearsal dinner for our son and his fiancée the evening before the wedding --which was also held at The Lace House. By having the rehearsal dinner there, our guests were able to experience all the beauty of the house and gardens. The staff was very professional AND friendly and very accommodating to our needs. They went out of their way to make sure that the rehearsal dinner would be perfect. We still have guests from both the rehearsal dinner and wedding raving about The Lace House!

    Best Venue Staff I've Ever Worked With!

    I honestly wish I could rate them more than 5 stars. Coming from a wedding planner, this venue was a DREAM to work at!!! The property absolutely speaks for itself - there are so many different options for ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception spaces, each stunning! I love that they include tables and chairs, as this is always a nice cost saver for my clients. The best part about the venue in my opinion though is the staff. Leah and Sarah and Aubrey are just the kindest people, and they love what they do and love their clients. They pitched in on tasks that weren't their responsibility, constantly asked me what they could help my team with, were very flexible with letting us do some of the setup early and bring in decor items early, brought us waters while we were working, printed a document that I had left behind at the hotel, and so much more. I know it may sound silly, but all of the things that they did to lend a hand and go above and beyond and genuinely care about the wedding guests AND vendors was just so appreciated. I am based out of Charleston, so this was my first time working with this venue. Their team answered my hundreds of questions with patience (ha!), and had great advice for my couple and I throughout the planning process. This property and this team are INCREDIBLE.

    South Carolina Lace House's reply:

    Abby- Thank you so much for your gracious review! Our team enjoyed working with you and we hope to work with you in the future!

    The Lace House

    I would highly recommend the Lace House. Our wedding was one of the many that was affected by covid in 2020. We started planning in 2019 and we finally were able have our way in 2021. The Lace House staff went above and beyond during the ENTIRE process. They kept in touch the entire time and checked in on us. They were super supportive especially when it came to actually having to postpone. This staff actually cares about the people who are renting from them. I cannot say enough good things about our experience it was all amazing! The day of they were beyond helpful with setting up and even when they saw people dressed up they complimented you. The support was amazing.

    Perfect Day!

    The Lace House was the absolute perfect venue for our wedding. I cannot imagine any place more beautiful more a wedding ceremony than the Lace House Gardens. The house was a great place for the reception with tons of space and classic charm. The only down side is that there are so many beautiful areas that I wanted to spend the whole day taking photos!
    All of the Lace House staff was extremely helpful and accommodating through the planning process and the day of.
    I would absolutely recommend The Lace House to anybody looking for a wedding venue.

    South Carolina Lace House's reply:

    Victoria - thank you so much for taking the time to leave us such a sweet review. It was such a pleasure working together with you over the span of your wedding planning and your big day was absolutely beautiful! We can't wait to see photos.

    Best wishes for you and Jack for many happy years together!

    This place is stunning! By doing our wedding on a Friday we got a good price, and Sarah helped take care of everything! She was always available when we needed her and let us use spare tables and easels.

    Sarah and Karen are true professionals! From moment we showed an interest in using their venue, they were incredibility responsive. We must have emailed them 50 times during the days leading up the wedding with last minute questions. Sarah went above and beyond to make sure I had everything I needed the day of. I can't thank their team enough!

    Karen, Sarah and Brooke at The Lace House were so helpful in securing and planning the big day, we can’t thank them enough! The gardens and the house were gorgeous, and apart from my beautiful bride, were the highlight of the ceremony. Everyone commented on how gorgeous and stunning the house was. Unfortunately, there was some rain during our big day, but the house was so open and welcoming, it was no issue whatsoever to have the reception indoors. It made for such a memorable and magical day, we can’t explain how special the house has become in our lives. And with the helpful and friendly staff, The Lace House was the perfect venue for us.

    The Lace House was the perfect venue for our wedding. It is absolutely gorgeous, from the gardens and fountains to the historic house. It makes an excellent backdrop for photographs! It is more on the expensive side, but it is definitely worth the added cost for such a beautiful setting.

    The Lace House was the perfect site for our wedding. It has lush greenery in the gardens and several areas to set up any size outdoor wedding. The balcony provided a great perch for those who wanted to watch the action on the dance floor and for the bride and groom to toss the bouquet and garter. The venue was worth the price, but it is a little steep.

    We loved having our wedding at the SC Lace House

    When we saw the Lace House we knew it was the right place to have our wedding. It is so elegant and full of southern charm. Our ceremony we as outside in the Arbor garden since the Memorial garden was being renovated. We have so many beautiful photos thanks to the beautiful grounds at the Lace House!

    Morgan - Thank you for taking the time to share your kind feedback. We so appreciate you utilizing the Lace House to celebrate your special day and seeing you bringing a touch of Hawaii to our beautiful venue!

    If you are looking for a place that is private, natural, and takes you back to another time, then this is the place for you. The Lace House provides a beautiful back drop for any occasion, located inside the Governor’s Mansion Complex. The Lace House its self is a little on the high end as far as price goes, but more than makes up for it, in the fact that you do not need any extra decorations. The other good thing is, you can rent different sections of the grounds, the house, the mall area, or the gardens. When you rent a space in there you get the added perk of being able to take bridal/engagement pictures inside of the house. On the day of, you have full access to the house starting at 9am. The one down side to this location is the sometimes absent mindedness of the event coordinator and the length of time it takes her to get back to you on an issue. But overall the benefits far out way the issues.
