Tabby Garden

Tabby Garden is a distinctive outdoor event venue in the heart of historic Beaufort, South Carolina. Operated as part of The Beaufort Inn, this landscaped garden space offers event organisers a picturesque Lowcountry setting surrounded by mature oak trees, Spanish moss, seasonal greenery and the character of Beaufort’s historic district.

The venue is well suited to wedding ceremonies, wedding receptions, cocktail hours, rehearsal dinners, private celebrations, family gatherings and selected corporate events. Its expansive lawn provides plenty of flexibility for dining, drinks, dancing and ceremony layouts, while nearby courtyards and historic buildings create attractive options for guest arrival, photographs and smaller gatherings. Tabby Garden can host up to 225 guests across approximately 5,000 square feet of outdoor space.

Organisers can also consider the wider collection of event spaces operated by The Beaufort Inn, including the climate-controlled Tabby Place, Old Bay Marketplace and Rooftop Deck, Craven Courtyard, Palmetto Courtyard and Garden Courtyard. Together, these spaces provide options for large receptions, intimate celebrations, meetings, showcases and social occasions. The property offers on-site event coordination, complimentary Wi-Fi in its main event areas and room blocks for guests who wish to stay nearby.

Catering is arranged through preferred external caterers, while licensed outside vendors may also be considered subject to the venue’s requirements. For outdoor events, organisers should plan a suitable tent contingency in case of poor weather. With historic accommodation, private courtyards, guest parking and a walkable downtown location close to the waterfront, Tabby Garden offers a practical base for multi-day weddings and destination gatherings as well as single-day celebrations.
