Wedding Venues I Recommend SC GA NC - http://WeddingWoman.net

The High Hampton - Cashiers, SC

Following is a list of some of my favorite wedding venues.  They are a great place to get married, or they wouldn't be on my list :)  I have officiated wedding ceremonies at these places and I     recommend them for different reasons: They are very beautiful, some are  all inclusive (e.g. all you need to provide are your Flowers, Officiant, Photographer), different  styles e.g. Southern Mansion vs. a Contemporary/Industrial look, inexpensive, no charge and they are just a great place to get married!  I have photographs  of most all, let me know if you want me to send you the pics or have questions.      
I serve 3 states; I am listing all.  I try to keep the list updated, please let me know if any of the information changes (event manager, email address, phone number, etc).                                                          

Please tell any that you contact that you found them here and that  I referred you.  
Thank you, Brenda~  http://WeddingWoman.net
