About the Venue
Historic Victorian Grandeur
in Downtown Greenville
The Gassaway Mansion is a beautifully preserved Victorian estate in Greenville, South Carolina. Built in the late 1800s, this magnificent property features ornate period architecture, manicured grounds, a grand wraparound porch, and the kind of timeless elegance that photographs magnificently in every season.
Katie first attended a friend’s wedding here in 2016 and has never looked back: “From the first time we stepped on the grounds, we fell in love. The Gassaway Mansion has everything — history, grandeur, character, and absolutely stunning grounds.”
