"Thomas House and Garden is a southern fairytale! We had a magical wedding and we were very happy with the efforts to make our day as perfect as possible. The day of we just showed up and got ready. Jessica was absolutely wonderful to work with from planning, to the day of and was extremely accommodating with customizations and last minute changes. Flowers and décor were lovely. They were just as excited as we were all day and it was great having that excitement around while we were getting ready and during all the photos thereafter. The house provided for a beautiful backdrop for the ceremony, it was the definition of southern charm. If you’re planning a small ceremony, you should seriously consider Thomas House and Garden, you will not be disappointed."

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.
