The Beaufort Inn

The Beaufort Inn is one of the South Carolina coast's most enchanting and exclusive wedding venues, a magnificently restored 19th-century private estate situated in the heart of historic Beaufort surrounded by four acres of beautifully landscaped gardens. The property blends the intimacy of a charming boutique B&B with the grandeur of a historic Southern estate, creating a wedding environment that is simultaneously personal and spectacular. The estate's 23-room mansion features intimate rooms with exquisite wood mouldings, magnificent chandeliers, and a foyer with a lovely grand staircase that provides a perfect photographic entrance for brides. Eight distinct event spaces across the property give couples extraordinary flexibility: the permanent garden tent for celebrations of up to 210 guests, the formal mansion rooms for gatherings up to 120 guests, or the entire estate for grand celebrations of up to 350. Four separate ceremony locations on the manicured grounds include garden areas, porch settings, and lawn spaces, each providing a unique and beautiful setting for vows. The wrap-around porch hosts magnificent cocktail receptions, while elegant garden spaces and a formal dining room complete the event offerings. The Beaufort Inn is exclusively yours on your wedding day — no shared property, no overlapping events — ensuring complete privacy and the full attention of the dedicated staff. Consistently rated 4.9 stars for its extraordinary historic beauty, exclusive private estate atmosphere, superb service, and the unmatched charm of celebrating in one of Beaufort's most treasured architectural landmarks.
