There is a new wedding venue in Columbia, SC! The Hampton Preston Mansion is a gorgeous historic home and it's been a museum open to the public through Historic Columbia, but they are now opening the grounds for weddings! Used as headquarters for the Union Army in February of 1865 and later saved by a local nun during the Burning of Columbia, the Hampton-Preston Mansion features renowned, historic gardens with sophisticated and graceful green space – speaking to the grandeur of its past. Magnolias and live oaks tower over garden spaces, including the back lawn, side gardens, a newly restored gazebo area and a fountain garden. This venue provides a serene backdrop, ideal for creative event design. As your best rated Columbia, SC wedding photographers I LOVE shooting at this venue. Would you like more information on the venue? Here you go along with some beautiful photos of the venue!
