We had to find a venue that didn’t break the bank.
We found a cheap venue at Destination Gold Bug.

My fiancée settled on having our wedding in Charleston, South Carolina, which won’t feel like a destination wedding (it’s a little over three hours from where we live) but will be far enough to be special.
Unfortunately, we chose September 30, which falls during peak wedding season in Charleston. Finding a venue proved a bit of a challenge, as many of the cheap ones on websites like The Knot cost $4,000 to $5,000 and upscale venues reached $10,000 or more.
Eventually, we discovered Destination Gold Bug, a much cheaper venue where we could still get married by the waterside. Destination Gold Bug is a relatively hidden gem located on an island with its own Tiki area, ballroom, and a place for food prep. At only $2,000, we knew we found the perfect venue for us.
