Readers' Choice: Pick Your Favorite Wedding Venue

Polls close at 11:59 p.m. Friday, Aug. 17.

From the moment she — or he — says "Yes," the planning begins.

For most people, wedding planning begins with a date — and a venue.

Will we get married on the dock of a local lake?

How about that historic house around the corner?

Does that hotel have a beautiful ballroom?

What about the local church?

When you planned your wedding — or that of your sister, brother or children — where did you want to get married?

Pick  your favorite venue in Goose Creek, Mount Pleasant, Summerville or West Ashley to be part of our "Best Wedding Venue" contest as Patch unveils its Readers' Choice. Nominations ended July 9. Winners will be announced in August.
