It's interesting:
"You know, I’ve been to lots of great weddings, but today may have been the best. The small, ornate chapel – the beautiful music – the sincere words that Paul and Linda wrote themselves. Ladies and gentlemen, we all witnessed something very special."

Columbia, the state capital and largest city in South Carolina, provides a slew of historic buildings for couples to host their ceremony. Many of Columbia's historic buildings are in the historic district in the city's downtown area. While it does not have as many golf courses as South Carolina's Grand Strand region, Columbia is home to the Columbia Country Club, which also facilitates wedding events.

1. Siebels House and Garden

   • Siebels House and Garden (historiccolumbia.org) is in downtown Columbia's historic district. This mansion was built in 1796, making it one of the oldest buildings in the city. Siebels hosts outdoor weddings in its garden area, which features manicured flower beds and a water fountain- approximately 250 guests may attend a ceremony in the garden. For indoor weddings, Siebels House accommodates 80 seated guests. The house provides a checkerboard dance floor for outdoor receptions. Catering and event setup services are available.

   Columbia Country Club

   • Located in Northwest Columbia, the Columbia Country Club (columbiacountryclub.com) allows wedding couples to host their ceremony on CCC's fairways. For outdoor weddings, the Country Club accommodates 150 to 200 guests. Columbia Country Club provides chair setup and floral arrangements for the wedding. This venue also hosts indoor receptions of up to 300 guests in its Palmetto Ballroom. The Palmetto Ballroom has a dance floor, sound system for DJ music and an adjacent patio area with scenic views of the golf course. The club's kitchen staff provides catering.

   St. Peter's Catholic Church

   • The oldest church in Columbia, St. Peter's Catholic Church (visitstpeters.org), offers its sanctuary as a venue for wedding ceremonies. The church building was founded in 1909 and maintains much of its original stained-glass windows and gothic-style interior dé-cor. The sanctuary seats approximately 450 guests for ceremonies. At least one member of the engaged couple must attend St. Peter's or be a member of the Roman Catholic Church. Couples who are in the process of becoming Roman Catholic -- and will be so by the wedding date -- are also eligible. The Cardinal Bernardin Center, or the Church Hall, is available for wedding receptions.

   The River Road House and Jasmine House

   • The River Road House and Jasmine House (riverroadjasmine.net) are two mansions in western Columbia, located on the shores of Lake Murray. This property was founded in the early 20th century and used for ceremonies and receptions. From spring to fall, outdoor weddings occur in the gardens of the River Road House. The gardens feature manicured gardens, tall bamboo trees and a wedding arch for the altar- during the evening, the venue places candles throughout the garden to provide lighting. The Jasmine House hosts receptions in its main hall, which features antique artwork and furniture. This venue provides catering and event setup services.
