"My husband and I got married in November 2020 at Thomas House and Garden. They are AMAZING. They maintained great communication and were so kind and helpful through the whole planning process and the wedding day. The venue, decorations, and flowers were beautiful and the cake was delicious. Thomas House and Garden is the perfect location for a stress-free all inclusive elopement or intimate wedding. Thank you so much for making our wedding dreams come true!

"I got married here in March 2020, days before the country wide lock down. They were absolutely wonderful through the whole process and taking the stress off of my plate. They were very responsive and handled everything from our engagement photos, to the decorations, set up and day of coordination and photography. I couldn't have imagined a more perfect day!

"My husband and I got married here in May of 2019. If you are looking for a small vintage/historic venue this is the perfect place. They were awesome with getting the bouquet and cake to match our colors and creating a stress-free memorable day. Everything ran so smoothly. We literally just showed up and they did everything else. Thomas House and Gardens of the little town of Ridgeway, SC will always have a special place in our hearts."

Location

The Thomas House is conveniently located, and easy to get to just off I-77 in the metropolitan Columbia area, in Ridgeway, SC. We're about twenty-five minutes from downtown Columbia, thirty minutes from Irmo or Lexington, ten minutes from Blythewood, and an hour from Charlotte, NC.

Couples come from all over the Southeast to marry here - so if you're in Augusta, Florence, Rock Hill, Greenville, Spartanburg, Charleston, Myrtle Beach, Raleigh, etc - you're in good company!

Built in 1906 by Mr. Robert Charleton Thomas, The Thomas House was added to the National Historic Register in 1970. The Victorian architecture is a bit unusual for the surrounding puritan area.

The Thomas House has numerous historic features! One of the coolest sits in the backyard. When you visit, note the granite carriage step in the rear yard. Also known as a mounting block, or stepping stone, it was most likely mined at the Kinkade Anderson Mine in Farifield County. This granite step was used to assist ladies entering a horse drawn carriage when the home was built.
