Wednesday, February 11, 2026 10:20 AM | Anonymous member (Administrator)

For couples seeking a wedding venue that combines Southern charm with rich history, the Lowcountry has always been a front runner.

From Charleston’s beautiful churches to Savannah’s picturesque squares to Hilton Head’s beachfronts, there’s no shortage of beautiful places to share vows.

For those who seek a unique wedding venue with proximity to all of the Lowcountry’s best amenities, we invite you to tour the Morris Center for Lowcountry Heritage.

Our venue is a museum and cultural center featuring a large banquet hall and moss-draped, oak-shaded outdoor space. We consider ourselves to be somewhat of a hidden gem nestled in the heart of South Carolina's downtown Ridgeland district - centrally located about 30 minutes from Savannah or Hilton Head, and 20 minutes from Bluffton or Beaufort.

Romantics are sure to fall in love with the Morris Center as the perfect setting for their special day between its historic significance and completely customizable venue spaces.
