Southern Celebrations at Collins Grove

Southern Celebrations at Collins Grove is a wedding and event venue set on approximately 18 acres in Florence, South Carolina. Its grounds combine mature trees, gardens, a pecan grove and historic outbuildings, offering several settings for ceremonies, receptions and photographs. The estate is around 10 minutes from the heart of Florence, giving organisers a country setting within easy reach of the city.

The main house provides bridal preparation space, a separate area for bridesmaids, a family gathering room, a private bar and a veranda. A separate Gentleman’s Quarters gives wedding parties another place to gather. For celebrations, the property has covered reception space, a downstairs reception area, a cocktail-hour tent and several ceremony locations. The venue’s listed facilities include tables and chairs, a caterer’s preparation area, accessible indoor bathrooms and ample parking. Couples can arrange their own catering, and a venue coordinator provides on-site support with venue questions, the floor plan, table and chair set-up and breakdown, and practical issues during the event. A separate wedding planner or coordinator is required.

The venue is available for weddings, elopements, rehearsal dinners, family reunions, corporate functions and other social or non-profit gatherings. Booking options include single-day rentals and a two-day wedding package, with access and inclusions varying by package. The longer format allows time for preparations and a rehearsal dinner, and includes overnight accommodation in the main house. Organisers can contact the venue to discuss dates, facilities and arrangements for their event.
