Not too sure of rate here, but I've heard they were pretty competitve:

staff at Alhambra Hall at (843) 856-2053 if you have event set up questions for the Hall rentals. You can view a sample contract for each facility on their pages!
Oh my gracious, that was a lot of googling. I have heard good rates about all of these places...and I think that last one was the name of a wedding my brother went to last year and she didn't have to pay a lot. I'll ask him and keep checking this thread and let you know if he happens to remember what it was called. But again, I'm 90% sure it's that last link. Good luck!
Thank you so much for looking! Magnolia and Alhambra Hall are more than I want to spend. The place we have now is $925. Which I know is a really good price. But I have read where people have paid almost nothing for their venue. Wish I could remember the places.
Yeah me too! ERR! It's driving me nuts trying to remember. And google really doesn't have a lot on it. I feel like these places are secret! If I find out/remember anything I'll let ya know.... Ya know, one suggestion is to call an established photographer. Not to book him, but to ask. I mean I would think of all the people who know of locations here, it would be them..... heck or maybe their "archives" on some of their sites will have a list.....
Good idea! I will get in touch with my photographer and see if he knows of a good place. It's hard finding a good deal at a place AND them allowing you to bring your own caterer. I'm almost to the point if I can find a big enough backyard to have it there and rent a tent. But I don't know if that would make it expensive having to rent the things we would need. BLAH! lol
ooo, found this:
Confederate Home62 Broad StreetCharleston, SC (843) 722-2026
The 127 year old Confederate Home and College offers a unique historic location in downtown Charleston for any event. The restoration of this landmark offers two formal adjoining drawing rooms on the second floor furnished with period furniture, and a stately columned piazza which overlooks the landscaped garden. Each drawing room has a fire place and separate doors for access. The drawing rooms can be separated by a sliding door.
The Confederate House $424-$575
I also found this:
Public Parks: You can have a gazebo wedding in a Charleston park; all you need is a permit. There are over 200 weddings a year at the gazebo in White Point Gardens (right on the battery). There are several other popular park locales, including Washington Square Park, Waterfront Park, Angel Oak Park (Boasts the oldest living tree east of the Mississippi) and Hampton Park. Permit fees are reasonable. At White Point Gardens, you are allowed to have no more than 25 people in attendance. Restrictions may be less at the other parks (the Hampton Park gazebo is said to be large). Contact the City of Charleston Recreation Department at 843-724-7327.
Lol, a backyard is a good idea. Especially in Charleston... some of those backyards are pretty enough to be a wedding site professionally! Maybe you could look up people who rent their back yards for that kind of stuff. I know there are some out there, it's just a matter of finding them!
People seriously rent out their backyards?! I have never heard of that. I laughed when I read it :)
Thanks for more info! Going to look into that as soon as I get off work!
lol... I think i figured it out...I'm pretty sure you do it through real estate companies:

I would call em, tell em your budget and see what they have! :D Google is on fire in this house today!! LOL!
Finally getting around to looking at these links you provided! Thanks for the hlp. Crossing my fingers and toes I find something! :)
Found a place called Hasell Hall. The prices are good. $800 for the whole room or $500 for half. Includes tables, chairs, tealights and black linens. They are also a catering company! Crossing fingers and toes!
So may get married at White Point Gardens at the Battery, then reception at Hasell Hall! Yay!
Thanks for all your help!
YAY!!!! Awesome!! You are so welcome. Man, the Battery is going to be a great setting!!!!! :D And that is a GREAT price for the hall!! 
So I found out you can only have 25 people at the gazebo on the battery. So not going to work for my 75 people lol. I have found some other options So I will update everything when I finally make a decision.
25 people?? oh wow!!! :O lol, i had no idea...the info I sent you I copied and pasted and didn't even pay attention to it!!
We just got back from getting our marriage licsense (in charleston county)...shiz was 70 bucks in cash! And they didn't even check our ids....I'm shocked!
Totally let me know what you end up doing...and I'll keep an ear open for stuff. I do know that the beach is public property and I think it's not only free, but I don't even believe you have to have a permit for it..... so good option.....
I'm in Berkeley county, I so hope the fee is less! lol I cannot believe they didn't check your id's! That is insane!
We are going with Hasell Hall! I am so excited! We didn't save too much but we are getting more for our money. It's downtown so way more picture opportunities. I didn't get any pictures, I was too excited. I will be going back in a week or 2 to finish paying the deposit and will try to remember to take more pictures.
The exposed brick and all the windows are fantastic! They will also be putting up black and white photos of charleston around the rooms. So it will be even better :)
Oh it should be cheaper.... and yes, DT has GREAT photo ops.... who is your photog, Hasell hall???
Hasell Hall is above Sticky Fingers on Meeting St. It's really cute. Our photographer is Mikhail Thomas of Thomas Photography, http://www.thomasphotographers.com/index2.html
I've known him about 3-4 years. His and my fiance's personalities go well together :)
Oh and sorry it takes so long to respond. My stupid computer at work won't let me do anything and then my phone won't let me post comments either. Stupid technology lol

Sorry, there are no users yet.
My mom recently lost her job and my parents are stressing about not being able to pay for the wedding. I'm already covering a big part of it. But they were taking care of venue, food and the dj. I'm getting stressed about having to try to find another place. I have about 6 months, but I'm still freaking out.
Do you know of any cheap venues that is under $500 and will let us have whatever caterer we want? I don't want to get married inside, always dreamed of a an outside/garden ceremony. Looking for a combination of inside and outside venue. Want to be prepared for rain. The guest list is about 75.
I have a cheap caterer and we don't owe much more on the dj. The venue is the big thing that I would like to cut the cost at.
Thanks for the help!
