If you like antique furniture, old farmhouse charm, rustic-no frill decor, the Jasmine B&B and Wedding Venue may appeal to you. Great effort has been taken to keep the inside clean and the grounds neat. But the fact is it's dated and slightly querky. Which may be up your alley. There is a large reception tent for dining & dancing. The outdoor "chapel" w bench seating is nearby, along with several covered areas available for hor-s d'oeuvres or cocktails.

Totally weird rooster statue near the shed, but what old, historic place wouldn't be awesome without some odd and creepy quirks (and you can't call yourself a plantation STILL without being creepy, without some quirks). Nice venue, nice old house. Seemed convenient to get to from all over the state. Went to a brunch wedding, but couldn't imagine it being any less perfect at another time of the day.

The Historic Jasmine Plantation was the site of a wonderful and significant wedding. The venue was perfect. The staff were excellent and food was great. I can imagine many other events in this lovely setting. The gardens were exquisite and the house on the property is charming. If you visit or use this venue, you are in for a treat.

After touring many venue locations, I knew Historic Jasmine Plantation was going to be our venue before I even got out of the car. Don and his family were fantastic to work with from beginning to end! They made planning (and re-planning) extremely easy and enjoyable. The venue itself is absolutely stunning with SO many options for photos, ceremony locations, etc. The property is impeccably maintained and taken care of. The drapes and lights inside the reception tent will literally take your breath away. Our family and guests were blown away. I would recommend Historic Jasmine over and over!
