William Aiken House

We attended a wedding here. This is a phenomenal venue! Gorgeous setting for both a wedding and reception. The food was delicious as well. Loved that it was walking distance from our hotel (Hampton Inn — Historic District).

If I could give zero stars, I would. This place is NOT accommodating to nursing or pumping mothers! A woman named Megan copped an attitude with my friend for wanting a private and clean place to pump that wasn’t the bathroom. When my friend couldn’t take it anymore, she was forced to use the bathroom to pump, and since she was at a wedding, she wore a dress. So there she was, dress up to her shoulders, sitting on a dirty bathroom floor, making milk for her baby, when Megan walks in and LEAVES THE DOOR OPEN so everyone can see her! When she asked for a private room AGAIN because she needed to pump a second time, Megan AGAIN acted inconvenienced to provide an appropriate place. This needs to be corrected. Not for my sake. Not even for my friend’s sake (what’s done is done– it can’t be changed)… It needs to be corrected for future mothers who need a place to privately feed their babies or pump milk. This is ridiculous.

Wow! What an excellent venue! Visited Charleston for a wedding and had the privilege to visit. As you enter you are greeted with luscious green ivy and calming water fountain.
The back bar area is a great place to set up a bar and entertain on the patio during the rehearsal. This is a great resting place from the nearby dance floor.
The house is the best part. While entering you can already get that southern charm feel. The colorful was warming and wood work was creatively carved, as in every inch in the house had meaning.
An overall great wedding venue and one that would make every wedding a memorable one.

Beautiful wedding venue with that Southern charm you would look for in a Charleston wedding. I had the pleasure of being a guest at a gorgeous wedding here. The outdoor space with the water feature and pergola was a beautiful setting for the ceremony. The rooms were well appointed and historically charming, which made for a cozy indoor space for reception dining. I especially loved the patio area turned outdoor lounge under the lights and stars. Beautiful!

Excellent place to see if you like old houses.

I used to cater events here during college. The house is gorgeous. There would be fancy parties and (even better) weddings, and some of my fellow American Theater employees and I would work these events, walking around with big trays and saying things like, «Oysters Rockefeller? Bruschetta?» Good times. I have no idea on pricing, but if you want Charleston atmosphere, this is the place to go. The house is dripping with antebellum stylings and architecture, and it has a great archway that leads from the property to the street that is just perfect for a picturesque departure of the bride and groom. I saw a couple that involved sparklers and a rickshaw– so adorable.
