There is a distinct, soulful energy to a wedding at Hotel Emeline. Located in the heart of historic downtown Charleston, this boutique sanctuary is where old-world cobblestone streets meet modern, design-forward luxury. For Kelly and William, Emeline provided the perfect backdrop for a wedding weekend that felt like a curated extension of their own personal style—sophisticated, warm, and deeply intentional.

Designing for Boutique Elegance

A celebration at Hotel Emeline is a masterclass in "Atmospheric Design." We leaned into the venue’s rich textures—velvets, vintage wood, and candlelight—to create an environment that felt both upscale and incredibly cozy.

  • The Ceremony: Against the backdrop of the lush, glass-enclosed Greenhouse, Kelly and William shared a moment of quiet romance. The space, filled with hanging plants and natural light, allowed the architectural beauty of the hotel to frame their vows.

  • Editorial Details: Every corner of Emeline is a visual story. From the coordinated bridal party in soft, light green robes to the chic, off-the-shoulder elegance of Kelly’s gown, the day felt like a feature in a high-end bridal editorial.

  • The Courtyard Celebration: Under the glow of bistro lights, the private outdoor courtyard served as an urban oasis for a celebration that flowed effortlessly from sunset cocktails to a night of joyful dancing.

The Precision of a Managed Production

While the weekend felt like a relaxed, effortless dream, it was anchored by our 5-phase project management framework. Managing a boutique hotel wedding requires a high level of Operational Rigor, from coordinating room blocks for their guests to executing a flawless dinner by Frannie & The Fox.

A Charleston Boutique Investment

Choosing Hotel Emeline is an invitation to a refined, all-inclusive wedding experience.

  • Guest Capacity: Perfectly suited for intimate to mid-sized celebrations, the Greenhouse and Courtyard accommodate up to 120 guests for a seated experience.

  • The Investment: For a beautifully styled Friday or Sunday wedding at Emeline, we recommend an investment of $45,000–$85,000, ensuring a high-impact guest experience with chef-curated menus and boutique accommodations.
