Where we work.

FULL SERVICE PLANNING & DESIGN FOR UNFORGETTABLE WEDDING WEEKENDSCertain places call for a deeper understanding -
not just of the setting, but of flow, hospitality, and
how a wedding weekend truly lives and breathes.
Lion House plans full-service, design-forward celebrations throughout the Southeast and beyond, with deep experience in South Carolina and North Carolina. No matter the location, our approach remains the same: thoughtful design, calm leadership, and a guest experience that feels seamless, welcoming, and beautifully considered from start to finish.
WHY LION HOUSE?South Carolina
South Carolina sits at the heart of the work we do, particularly across the Lowcountry, Sea Islands, and coastal communities where celebrations often unfold over full weekends. These settings call for a thoughtful approach that balances design vision with an intuitive understanding of flow, timing, and guest experience.
We’re especially experienced with purpose-built tented environments at common resort, club, and waterfront venues, where details like weather variability, coastal conditions, sunset timing, lighting transitions, and guest comfort are planned for early; from heat and humidity to breezes and bugs so the experience remains effortless and uninterrupted.
Our role is to hold the full picture, guiding creative direction and anticipating needs behind the scenes. For couples drawn to South Carolina’s understated charm, we bring calm, confident leadership that allows every moment to unfold polished, welcoming, and genuinely enjoyed.
North Carolina
PRIVATE & MOUNTAIN RETREATSIn North Carolina, our work is rooted in private estates and mountain retreats; settings where landscape, architecture, and intimacy shape celebrations that feel personal and beautifully paced. We’re especially drawn to the Highlands–Cashiers region, Lineville, and western North Carolina, where venues like High Hampton, Lonesome Valley, Chattooga Club, and Cataloochee Ranch support layered, design-forward wedding weekends. These environments require thoughtful planning around terrain, weather, and flow - all guided with calm, steady leadership.
GOLF AND SOCIAL CLUBSIn metropolitan areas including Charlotte, Raleigh, and Winston-Salem, we’re well-suited to refined club and estate venues where discretion, precision, and hospitality are paramount. Our approach aligns naturally with elevated club settings similar to Quail Hollow Club and Forsyth Country Club, where seamless coordination, polished execution, and clear leadership behind the scenes allow the experience to feel effortless for both hosts and guests. These settings benefit from a planner who understands tradition, member guidelines, and the nuance of hosting within established institutions.
COASTAL WATERFRONT CELEBRATIONSAlong the coast, we bring the same design-forward, hospitality-led approach to Figure Eight Island, Wilmington, private waterfront homes, and intimate yacht celebrations. These events balance relaxed coastal ease with elevated execution - resulting in weekends that feel welcoming, intentional, and effortlessly handled from dockside moments to the final farewell. Thoughtful planning around weather patterns, rain backup plans, transportation, and timing ensures the celebration feels relaxed while every detail remains carefully orchestrated.
Beyond the Carolinas
Beyond North and South Carolina, we regularly work throughout the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic, with particular experience in Virginia’s Charlottesville region. This area’s landscape, historic architecture, and vineyard settings naturally lend themselves to elegant, guest-focused wedding weekends.
We’ve had the pleasure of producing a celebration at Keswick Hall, with additional venues like Pippin Hill, The Red Fox Inn & Tavern, and Glenstone Gardens very much on our radar. These settings share a common thread – refined hospitality, strong sense of place, and the opportunity for celebrations that feel both elevated and deeply personal.
While much of our work is rooted in the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic, we’re always open to thoughtfully chosen destinations that align with our approach – from storied mountain resorts to private ranches and iconic properties where design, landscape, and hospitality take center stage.
PLANNING ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST AND BEYOND“People may forget the details - but they’ll always
