My husband is the captain, so clients feel like family through the planning process.” Women and women’s groups are drawn to The Charleston Girl because it offers their guests a unique experience, picturesque setting and luxurious accommodations. Touring the Charleston Historic District, Charleston Harbor, the Arthur Ravenel Jr. Bridge and Ashley River bridges from Johns Island is something that many Charleston natives have not had the pleasure to enjoy. Sharing the experience with friends, loved ones, colleagues or like-minded professionals is a wonderful way to connect with other guests while discovering the Holy City from the water. WEDGEFIELD COUNTRY CLUB A short drive up the coast, situated along the banks of the Black River in Georgetown, lies Wedgefield Country Club, another grandiose venue that puts the Lowcountry’s unique scenery and quintessential charm at its forefront. Its lush flora, rolling fairways and beautiful ponds are well-loved by brides and meeting planners alike. In addition to hosting many women’s organizations and sororities, women-specific golfing events are commonly held at Wedgefield Country Club and its 18-hole championship golf course. “Events such as bridal brunches and baby showers are perfect for the Georgian Regency Manor House Ballroom as well as the smaller Cypress Room,” said Jamie Thompkins, Wedgefield Country Club’s events coordinator. “For weddings, the majestic oak trees that adorn the venue have to be our biggest draw for brides. The lovely 300-year-plus-old oak in the courtyard provides the perfect backdrop for a Southern wedding.” In addition to the surrounding oak trees, magnolias, camellia bushes and seasonal blooms, guests can enjoy Wedgefield Country Club’s recent addition of the Manor Suite, which looks out onto the back of the venue, the 18th green and Wedgefield’s side courtyard. While the Manor Suite was designed as a bridal suite, it is often enjoyed as a honeymoon suite and may be rented to anyone who wants a quiet night for two to enjoy Wedgefield Country Club’s beauty. With a Manor House site manager included in all event rentals, expert wedding planners on staff and a knack for special occasions, it’s no wonder Wedgefield Country Club is a favorite setting for events of all sizes. Boasting various venues on their idyllic grounds, events at Wedgefield Country Club are rich in history and tradition and appeal to a variety of tastes and interests. For an extra dose of fun, sneak out to the centuries-old Brick House Pub located onsite for a brew with the bridesmaids or gal pals. Brides, bridal parties, corporate planners and nonprofit groups have several beautiful venues to consider when planning an unforgettable event or celebration in Dorchester, Berkeley, Georgetown or Charleston counties. Living in an area as beautiful as the Lowcountry allows groups to tailor their venues to their aesthetic, event goals and desired service levels. No matter where they choose to gather, one thing is clear: Southern hospitality always aims to exceed expectations. Feature Looking out f rom the Carol ina Girl yacht .
