Framed by centuries-old oaks and perched on the banks of the Sampit River, the Kaminski House blends historic elegance with Lowcountry charm. Nestled in the heart of Georgetown, South Carolina, and just a scenic drive between Charleston and Myrtle Beach, this 18th-century landmark offers an unforgettable setting for couples seeking a wedding filled with grace and character.

Originally constructed in the 1700s, the Kaminski House stands as a beautifully preserved testament to South Carolina’s past. Today, its riverfront grounds provide a stunning canvas for new memories—from vows exchanged at golden hour to evening toasts beneath twinkling lights.

 

Where History Meets Heart

For centuries, the Kaminski House has quietly observed the ebb and flow of life along the waterfront. Now, it invites couples to create their own timeless moments on its manicured lawn and scenic terrace. This venue offers the freedom to design a celebration that feels entirely personal, from laid-back ceremonies under mossy branches to elegant outdoor dinners as the sun dips below the horizon.

With no required vendors and complete creative flexibility, your day unfolds your way.

Rooted in Stories, Ready for Yours

Weddings at the Kaminski House feel like pages from a Southern story. Say “I do” beneath a canopy of live oaks, then celebrate with a reception that flows from lawn to terrace, framed by the house’s classic white exterior.

The front lawn offers a graceful setting for both ceremonies and receptions, while the Kossove Terrace overlooks the Sampit River and is perfect for cocktails, more intimate ceremonies, or a quiet place to take it all in. Whether your style leans coastal, romantic, rustic, or refined, the open-air spaces provide endless opportunity to make the experience your own.

It’s a welcoming, walkable destination with Southern hospitality woven into every detail.

Though close to major cities, Georgetown feels like a hidden gem and is perfect for an intimate weekend escape.
