2026 Best of the Holy City READERS’ CHOICE AWARDS WEDDINGS & EVENTS
01 Jul 2026
Voted on by our readers, these award-winning attractions, standout shops, and essential services are part of what keeps Charleston among the most beloved places to live in the country.
Charleston was made for celebration. Few cities so effortlessly blend romance, history, and hospitality into a setting that feels inherently designed for gathering—where cobblestone streets, moss-draped oaks, waterfront sunsets, and centuries-old architecture create a backdrop that is both cinematic and deeply personal. It’s no wonder the Holy City has become one of the country’s most sought-after destination wedding locations. Every wedding begins with a vision, which is where Party Perfection Weddings + Events steps in to orchestrate every detail with precision and heart. It continues in the artistry of Fonte Fleur, whose floral designs transform venues into living expressions of beauty, and in the thoughtful elegance of dresses by Bridals By Jodi, helping brides step into one of life’s most memorable moments with confidence and style. And when it comes to attire for him, M. Dumas & Sons brings timeless sophistication to formal wear, rooted in tradition and refined Southern style. Charleston’s wedding landscape is equally defined by its unforgettable settings. From waterfront venues to historic estates, the city offers a backdrop for every style of celebration. The Harbour Club at WestEdge brings a modern, elevated atmosphere with sweeping skyline views ideal for bridal parties, rehearsal dinners, and elegant receptions. And in the Holy City—home to more than 400 churches—finding the perfect chapel for “I do” is about as effortless as it is iconic.
