How Does a 1900s Historic Estate Elevate Weddings Near Charlotte NC at WestWind?

 

If you’re looking for wedding venues near Charlotte NC, and a historic setting appeals to you, we’d love to show you WestWind Estate. Our house in Spartanburg, South Carolina, was built in the early 1900s, and we’ve restored it with care. Our owner, Arina, runs the place herself, so you’re welcomed by someone who wants it to feel like home.

A 1900s historic estate gives a wedding built-in character, so couples decorate less and photograph more. This Spartanburg, South Carolina venue offers a restored mansion, gardens, lawn, and poolside photo spots, plus private bridal and groom suites. Packages include a day-of coordinator, rehearsal, and parking attendant, hosting up to 130 guests.

How a Historic Estate Shapes Your Wedding Day at WestWind

WestWind began as a family home, built by a young architect who loved the southern landscape. Majestic oaks and fragrant gardens surround it. We restored the house to keep its charm and added modern comforts along the way. You aren’t decorating a blank room here, because the character is already in place, and the mansion makes a great backdrop for portraits.

Photo Spots Without Leaving the Property

We have several photo locations on the grounds. The estate lawn, the gardens, the poolside area, and the historic house itself all work as backdrops, so your photographer stays on site the whole day. Our Classic package includes the poolside and mansion areas as part of your photography plan. Walk the property on your tour and pick the spots you want in your album.

Spaces That Let Your Day Flow

You can have your ceremony outdoors on the lawn and your reception inside the same property. Our wedding packages include the first floor of the house, and the banquet hall has high ceilings and large windows, so it works well for dinner and dancing. Your caterer gets a kitchen staging area to work from. We host up to 100 guests in Classic and Grand, and up to 130 in Signature.

Getting Ready in the Suites

Our packages include a private bridal suite and a private groom’s suite, so each of you has your own space to get ready. We also have six named suites on the property, and each one has its own look and feel. The Emerald Suite, for example, has vintage wallpaper, hardwood floors, a hand carved bed with gold accents, and big windows full of natural light. Overnight stays are available as an add on.
