The Wedding Weekend Experience gives couples exclusive use of the mansion and its grounds, turning their wedding day into a full weekend of memories, and six guest suites allow up to 22 guests to stay on-site, making it ideal for destination weddings, bridal parties, and close family. Couples can choose the multi-day Wedding Weekend Package or a single-day rental, giving flexibility for different plans and budgets. The 1858 Gothic Revival mansion, the centuries-old live oaks, the freshwater lagoon, and the Colleton River marshes give photographers an extraordinary, iconic range of Lowcountry backdrops that need no added decor.

Location & Getting There
Rose Hill Mansion sits on 12 private, gated acres along the Colleton River in Bluffton, South Carolina, in the heart of the Lowcountry near Hilton Head and Savannah. That location gives couples a private, gated estate setting while staying within reach of the coast, so guests can fly into the Savannah or Hilton Head airports a short drive away, and the charming town of Bluffton, along with nearby Hilton Head and historic Savannah, gives out-of-town guests plenty to enjoy around the wedding. The Lowcountry setting gives the wedding weekend a scenic, destination feel. Yet the mansion’s 12 gated acres, moss-draped oaks, and riverfront setting give the property a private, iconic, historic feel once you arrive, especially since the whole estate belongs to the couple for the weekend. That balance of an iconic, private estate with genuine convenience to Hilton Head and Savannah is a big part of what draws couples to Rose Hill Mansion.
