Patrick Properties Hospitality Group
The Patrick Properties Hospitality Group is actually a collection of venues, including Parcel 32, The William Aiken House, Lowndes Grove, The American Theater, and The River House. While all of the properties under their name are incredibly dreamy and romantic, we especially love The River House for a dreamy outdoor micro wedding. This location offers a casual, intimate space set underneath gorgeous oaks, topped off with incredible views of the Ashley River.
Their micro wedding package starts at only $2,000 (for 15+ people), and includes a 4 hour venue rental, brunch, lunch, or dinner a la carte, and tables and chairs. One look at their weddings gallery shows that these guys are no strangers to micro weddings, which is crucial when finding a venue that can make your perfect day happen. .

The Cliffs
This venue boasts ‘ceremonies above the clouds’, and we’d say that this is a pretty accurate description of the magical chapel perched on the edge of Glassy Mountain. Couples will tie the knot at the glass-enclosed chapel, allowing your loved ones to admire the surrounding Blue Ridge Mountains, and then move to The Cliffs at Glassy clubhouse for your reception.
The Cliffs is a unique micro wedding venue in that it provides the ‘wow’ factor with its breathtaking views, while also lending a feeling of intimacy. If the clubhouse isn’t quite what you’re looking for, there are additional reception spaces available across their seven mountain and lake club communities in the Western Carolinas.
