From the very beginning, our experience with The William Aiken House and the entire PPHG team was nothing short of amazing. Not only is the venue itself absolutely stunning (it truly speaks for itself), but the people behind it make it even more special. Sophia and the whole PPHG team were incredible to work with—communication was seamless, execution was flawless, and every detail was handled so thoughtfully. The food was outstanding, our guests are still talking about it. Every dish was delicious, beautifully presented, and added so much to the overall experience. We also had the absolute dream team of Emma and Jordan from Peninsula Events (PPHG’s in-house planners), and I cannot say enough about them. They are hands down the best planners ever. They made the entire planning process fun, stress-free, and truly enjoyable, and they brought our vision to life in a way that was beyond anything we could have imagined. If I could do it all over again, I wouldn’t change a single thing. They created the most beautiful wedding for us! One thing I was initially sad about was having to put the rain tents up, but somehow this team made me forget they were even there. The space was still absolutely gorgeous, and I don’t know how they pulled it off. They completely shifted my mindset, put me at ease, and made sure I could fully enjoy the day without worry. On our wedding day, everything came together perfectly. Our guests are still raving about how gorgeous the space was, how smooth the evening flowed, and how kind and attentive the staff were. We felt so supported every step of the way, and I can honestly say the day was stress-free because of them. I couldn’t imagine having our wedding anywhere else, and I am endlessly grateful to Sophia, Emma, Jordan, and the entire staff for giving us a day more perfect than we ever dreamed.

The William Aiken House is an absolute DREAM. The space is so versatile and allows you to have the ceremony of your choice, whether it's an outdoor garden setting or a more traditional backdrop with the carriage house – it truly has it all!! In addition to the absolutely stunning venue itself, the PPHG catering is top tier! Our guests could not stop talking about how amazing the food was and how it was probably one of the best wedding meals they've ever had! The food selection is so expanse and every single entree, appetizer, etc. was absolutely delicious. The PPHG staff were also an absolute breeze to work with. The ladies I worked with most, Isabel, Olivia, and Jillian were so great with communication, efficient, and organized. Additionally, they were so so amazing with accommodating our budget and wedding size (we had a smaller wedding approx. 50 people.) My brother has severe autism as well and Olivia made sure that he was comfortable on our wedding day/with food choices – I cannot even express how much that meant to me! Even if you don't choose William Aiken House, all of the PPHG venues are absolutely stunning. Just working with PPHG overall honestly is the cherry on top of their amazing venues. Thank you ladies so so much for being a part of our big day and helping us to bring our vision to life! We are immensely grateful and would recommend this venue and staff to every person who is looking to get married in Charleston!!
