The Parker Pines Experience
Picturesque locations. On-site accommodations. Expert event coordination.
Parker Pines provides everything you need (plus a few extras!) for a seamless South Carolina wedding experience. Your role is all about the fun part: making memories with loved ones, staying fully present, and savoring every single minute of this once-in-a-lifetime celebration!
01
Get to Know Our Property
Before diving into the details of your day, we recommend experiencing Parker Pines for yourself! During your personal tour, we’ll hop on a golf cart to explore each of our ceremony sites and walk the path that leads to our reception hall, allowing you to envision each moment from your guests’ perspective. We’ll also tour our air-conditioned reception area (which includes a state-of-the-art back kitchen) and visit our charming cabins. If you live out of state or an in-person tour isn’t an option, we’re more than happy to arrange a virtual visit. We’re confident you’ll feel the magic of Parker Pines either way!

Choose Your Venue Space(s)
You deserve nothing less than the best, which is why we only book one event per day. Yes! The entirety of Parker Pines is YOUR home base for the day (or the whole weekend if you choose). In addition to the spots you select for your ceremony and reception, you’ll have access to all of the event spaces on our property for photos. (Hint: We love The Outdoor Chapel for first looks and The Arbor for wedding party pics!)

03
Shop the Decor Closet
Skip the stress of buying decorations you’ll have to attempt to resell on Facebook Marketplace a few months later. (Been there, never doing that again.) The inventory housed inside our Decor Closet is extensive enough to decorate a wedding of up to 200 guests! For just $350, you’ll gain access to our full range of decor: chargers, lanterns, floating candle bases, signs, mirrors, easels, table runners, table numbers, cake stands, and so much more.
04
Make Weekend Arrangements
Go ahead and check “reserve accommodations” off your list! Our on-site cabins make for truly special wedding weekends, providing convenient lodging for you, your wedding party, and your families. By keeping everyone close by, you’ll avoid timeline snags and enjoy extra time for memory-making with the people you love most.

05
Lock in a Coordinator
To ensure a seamless experience, we require that you have a day-of coordinator—so why not enlist someone who could conduct a complete run-of-show at Parker Pines while blindfolded? (Sarah raises hand.) Our in-house venue coordination service includes the creation of an event timeline, vendor communication starting one month before the event, decor set-up, and rehearsal coordination. Parker Pines couples who choose to upgrade to a full planning package through Cheers & Champagne will also score a savings of $750!

Assemble Your Vendor Team
We want you to receive the absolute BEST service possible on your wedding day, which is why we’ll provide you with a curated list of vendors after booking. Every vendor on our preferred list is tried, true, and trusted to take care of our couples. PS: In addition to our in-house coordination services, as of 2025, we will also be offering in-house bartending! Please reach out to us to discuss adding this service to your package.
07
Peace of Mind, Rain or Shine
Rain, rain, go away—but if it doesn’t, that’s okay! Since we only host one event per day, our entire property is at your disposal for the duration of your rental period. If it looks like it will rain on your wedding day, or if a South Carolina heat wave hits, you have the option of shifting your celebration to one of our indoor spaces up to three hours prior to the start of your ceremony.
04
Plan Your Day, Your Way
Looking to host an elopement or intimate event? Selecting a non-weekend date allows you to experience everything Parker Pines has to offer at a discounted rate. No matter the design details you have in mind, our spaces are perfect for creating memorable moments any day of the week.

An absolute joy
to work with
“As a wedding photographer, I see many venues. So when I say Parker Pines is one of a kind, I truly mean it! Sarah and her staff are incredibly kind, helpful, and an absolute joy to work with. Parker Pines has everything you could possibly need out of a wedding venue.”
