Sweeping ballrooms, lush private grounds, and open-air piazzas make this historic 1807 mansion one of Charleston’s most sought-after venues for weddings and special occasions. A seamless blend of modern sophistication and 19th-century allure, William Aiken House offers a peaceful retreat just beyond the bustle of Upper King Street. Behind the venue’s gates, a two-century-old magnolia tree anchors sunlit courtyards and manicured lawns, while an elegant pergola and a Gothic-style Carriage House sit tucked in the background. Inside the sweeping home, formal dining rooms and parlors showcase a collection of museum-caliber artwork and antiques, enchanting guests as they move gracefully from one space to the next.
