The Francis Marion Hotel Wedding Reception Venue Review

Charleston gets hot! Especially June through August. If you’re interested in a reception venue that has you covered for any kind of weather, one of the downtown hotels is probably a great choice. And if you want the very heart of downtown then you won’t regret choosing The Francis Marion Hotel. It doesn’t get more downtown than that! The hotel is huge and it’s located right across Marion Square which is the town square. It has several ball rooms available for weddings, including one that looks over the square. You will see below photos from two different ball rooms where we have photographed two different receptions.

Here are the biggest pluses to this venue, the way we see it:

• location of course: you and your guests can walk to your after party without worrying about a driver
• photographically speaking we have a good amount of options for romantic photos: can use the hallways of the hotel, the square (if you feel like venturing outside) and we can even get creative with the city and street-scapes in the background
• The Francis Marion Hotel has has an elegant and classic interior  that can really be amplified by stylized decor

We hope you enjoy the photos below and consider us for your wedding, especially if your reception is taking place at The Francis Marion Hotel.
