Special Locations and Transportation: Making Your Event Memorable

South Carolina is a wonderful place to host your next event. There are a wide variety of venues and settings sure to meet any of your needs. While hotels, conference centers and beach front resorts are popular, consider choosing from one of the unique venues SC has to offer – to make your event even more special!

Choosing a Unique Venue

Choosing a venue, unique or tradition, takes careful consideration. You must account for the size and overall tone of the event. Once you have these details in mind, begin scouting out the perfect spot. South Carolina has hundreds of unique and -off the beaten path” venues scattered around the state. Consider choosing a spot that includes some sort of added feature. For example, host your event at a historical home or landmark. Not only will the setting be unique, your guests will be treated to sightseeing and history during your event. From Charleston to Greenville, there are historical sites and other unique venues that are sure to have your guests talking about your event for years to come. Consider sports facilities, if appropriate, or entertainment venues. Take some time to be creative and think outside the box – your guests are sure to appreciate it.

Updating Your Transportation

Limousines are traditional modes of transportation, and are wonderfully appropriate for almost any occasion. However, wouldn’t it be nice to treat your guests to something outside the norm? South Carolina has a wide variety of transportation options available – regardless of the size of your guest list. Consider a tour bus, complete with city tour before dropping guests off at your chosen venue. Charleston and other historic SC towns offer horse drawn carriages, appropriate for smaller groups. To combine a unique venue and mode of transportation, consider incorporating your event into a dinner cruise. Bicycles, trolleys and rickshaws are also unique options offered throughout SC.
