Working with couples who want a personal touch in a turn-key elopement package is at the very core of what we do best at Charleston Elopes.

Our couples are seeking a turn-key, uniquely private, quintessentially Charleston experience in a private venue for a small and intimate wedding with up to 20* people. Some elopement packages also include a brunch or dinner option served right at the venue.

About Us

Charleston Elopes is owned and operated by Robin Jarvis. Likewise, Charleston Elopes elopement packages at Old Wide Awake and other select Lowcountry venues are personally planned and managed by Robin Jarvis.

Couples have been celebrating their big day with guests at Old Wide Awake since just before the turn of the century. Old Wide Awake is best known of the old house with the red tin roof and the sweeping vistas as seen from the porch verandas. The swoon-worthy home and views are capped off with meticulously maintained grounds, planters, and a live-oak tree-lined driveway leading up to the 200-year-old home.

Old Wide Awake Venue
All-Inclusive Access To Historic House and Grounds

Charleston Elopes is honored to offer elopement access to one of Charleston’s premiere wedding venues.

Nestled in the beautiful setting of a 200-year-old home that’s hosted more than a thousand weddings in the past two decades, Old Wide Awake and its Avenue of Live aks, wrap-around double verandas, and signature red tin roof offers a private, Old Charleston venue with all-inclusive access to the house and grounds for a four-hour period that’s the perfect amount of time for a ceremony and petite reception for your private Southern elopement.

Our four packages vary in price, are all-inclusive* for up to 20 people, and include all-access to the house and grounds including a gorgeous Bridal Suite for pre-ceremony preparations, hair and makeup, Wedding florals for the bride and groom, ceremony music, a five-course dinner during your petite reception, and petite 6-10″ wedding cake.

*Wedding photography and alcoholic beverages and service are add-on services we are happy to coordinate as part of our planning services.
