Clemson SC Wedding Venue

There are a THOUSAND great things about Clemson (aside from the Tigers). All of your guests will be able to stay at the Conference Center & Inn, and stay nearby all the happenings of the weekend!

There are more than enough restaurants close by for them to eat at while they visit.

PLUS, you’ll get beautiful nature scenes and backdrops without having to go out in the middle of nowhere. You won’t have to leave the best university EVER. You just have to walk two streets over.

They have a lovely ballroom for your reception inside and a beautiful pavilion overlooking Lake Hartwell. You can have your ceremony or reception there.

ATTENTION GROOMS: Here is the best part, the Madren Center is right next to the Walker Golf Course (which is one of the best golf courses in the area). What better way to celebrate your wedding day than kicking it off by hitting the links!

Not to mention, it’s right down the road from the hoppin’ Greenville and all its amazing places!

As soon as you finish playing, you can head right on over to the venue to get ready. It’s so close, there is NO way you can be late to get ready.
