Stunning
I am so thankful we found Blythewood for my son’s rehearsal dinner. We are from upstate South Carolina, so planning an event at a venue I had never seen was really stressful. Ipha and I spoke on a weekly basis for a period of six months. She went above and beyond my expectations. She and her team were so helpful and kind, and they truly wanted our night to be special.
The venue was stunning, the food was delicious, and we left as friends. I highly recommend Blythewood. You will not be disappointed.

We hosted our wedding at Blythewood and were so happy we did! The house and grounds are a beautiful backdrop for any event. The food at both the rehearsal dinner and the wedding was outstanding! Trish is so kind and such an amazing cook! We were able to host our whole bridal party, parents, and us (20 people) in the house and guest house for the weekend, which made the weekend run smoothly. It was perfect to be able to separate the groomsmen and groom from the rest of the bridal party in the guest house. We were able to decorate and set up the night before, and didn’t have to coordinate everyone arriving to get ready. Ipha is very helpful and flexible and our wedding was exactly how we dreamed it would be. She gave recommendations for table rentals for the grounds and also helped us book a DJ for the evening. Our guests raved about the atmosphere, food, and the beautiful property.
Also, in the age of COVID-19, all the staff took precautions and social distancing very seriously, which made us feel at ease. They also provided hand sanitizer and gloves for serving food and drinks.
