For Wedding Planners

A venue that behaves like a partner.

A preferred-planner program for the CSRA and Southeast wedding community.

Why plan with The Wilkshire House

Owner-managed, single point of contact, no venue committee.

The Wilkshire House is a 3,914-square-foot private estate in historic Summerville, divided into three self-contained suites — 6 bedrooms and 4.5 baths in total. One owner answers the phone, quotes the date, and signs the agreement.

The venue

A private estate, not a rental

Ceremony on the lawn, reception in the breakfast-sunroom and dining room, and full-house lodging for the wedding party across three suites with separate private entrances — the party sleeps where it celebrates.

The services

Concierge included with every event

Every wedding, honeymoon, and retreat booking includes a private chef and daily housekeeping through the stay, plus two on-property vehicles — a Lexus RX 350 for logistics and a white Cadillac Escalade for the arrival shot. Nothing to bolt on.

The network

Combined property packages

An Augusta wedding, and somewhere to send them afterward.

The Wilkshire House is part of Magnolia Reserve — a private collection of Southern hospitality experiences that includes a sister estate at Rivershyre and a 76-foot luxury yacht, The Croupier, based in Fort Pierce, Florida. Combined packages — an Augusta wedding with a Bahamas honeymoon aboard The Croupier — are available for qualified planner inquiries.
