From the reviews

Lovegrove is the perfect location to host a corporate event. The guests truly enjoyed this wonderful luncheon experience at such a special historical Estate. The estate itself is too beautiful to pass up on taking lovely photos.

★★★★★ — Gisella, Apr 2022

I have had the privilege of attending several events at Lovegrove Estate and am always taken back by it’s beauty. The lush native foliage, beautiful home, and the Ashley River make this location a true Lowcountry gem. The owner, Andrea, is responsive and passionate about her venue.

★★★★★ — Melanie, Jun 2023

Thank you for hosting your beautiful venue for my son and daughter-in-law. Everyone was in awww with the property and you were in the background to make sure everything go smoothly. Thank you again for all you did for us. Everything was perfect.

Getting married at Lovegrove Estate - Wedding & Event Venue

Lovegrove Estate - Wedding & Event Venue comes up for weddings — confirmed on their own site. Two things make the tour worth it. First, see the garden at the time of day and season you'd actually get married — a garden that glows at golden hour in June can look very different at noon in March, so ask what's in bloom for your date and walk the path your guests take from parking to ceremony to reception. Second, bring your real questions: the rain plan (where does the ceremony move, and does it hold everyone?), shade and bugs for a summer afternoon, the catering and bar policy, the music curfew, and exactly what's included — tables, chairs, setup, and teardown are where quotes quietly diverge. Popular garden dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
