Old Wide Awake Plantation

Named for its previous life as a historic home that served as a 24-hour convenience store for the old Stono Ferry between the mainland and Johns Island, Old Wide Awake radiates with timeless Southern charm. The beloved grand plantation home welcomes guests with a long tree-lined entrance winding up to the beautiful white home with its extended patio, two-tiered veranda and signature ivy-covered stairs. Classic archways were constructed using reclaimed bricks from the original plantation site and a brushed travertine patio invites artful, stable surfacing for sunny al fresco soirees.

Host a welcome party or cocktail hour on the wide wraparound covered porch and welcome guests into the informal bar area inside the ivy-covered archways. Orchestrate a glorious photo shoot around the verdant property, pausing by the opulent fountain and waterfront reflections. Primp and prep inside the expertly designed Southern plantation home, taking advantage of vibrant wallpapered backdrops and grand staircase entrance staging. Luxurious yet relaxed ceremonies and receptions take place on the manicured lawns with plenty of space for event tents, a dance floor, stage and lounge areas.
