A Note from the Owners

Pam & Bre Reeder are the mother/daughter duo behind the scenes of Southern Oaks. Together they have planned and decorated each wedding since the very beginning in 2015. They could not have done it without their very talented (and handy) husband/father, Brett Reeder. The venue has come a long way since it was first bought. Together (also with the help of their son, Tug), the venue was completely gutted and redone. Brett built/designed all of the buildings located on the property. Starting out as a "college fund", Southern Oaks has become a family affair. With Pam's diligence and Bre's creativity, they strive to make each and every wedding unique, and as perfect as possible. Together, they have done over hundreds of weddings and hope that they will be apart-of your day as well. After all the planning and meeting, our couples are more than just "clients", they become friends. They hope that all of their couples leave Southern Oaks, with a smile on their face and memories that will last a lifetime, and can sincerely say, "I had the wedding of my dreams".

#6 Magnolia Plantation & Gardens - Charleston, SC

For the Charming, Historical Plantation Wedding…

Ready for some real Southern Hospitality? Rooted in rich history and the deep culture of the South, the beginning of Magnolia Plantation dates back to 1676 when the Drayton family called Magnolia home. Unlike most of America's gardens, which are formal and seek to control nature, Magnolia cooperates with nature to create a tranquil landscape like Eden where humanity and nature are in harmony. In 1870 they extended an invitation to visitors to experience the thousands of beautiful flowers in their famous romantic gardens. Today, at nearly 500 acres this venue has the distinction of being America's oldest public garden. As you dream about what you want your wedding day to look and feel like, you'll notice that each of the wedding venues here is unique. The indoor greenhouse at the Conservatory will invite you to enjoy natural, simple pleasures. The Carriage House, surrounded by ancient live oaks, overflows with rustic, old Southern charm on the banks of the Ashley River. The stately and romantic Plantation House Veranda will enchant your guests with panoramic views of the abundant gardens in the heart of the plantation.

Magnolia Plantation Offers & Perks

• Multiple Outdoor Ceremony Sites

• Indoor or Outdoor Reception Space
