Iva, SC. Standing proud upon the gentle slope of a green hill, this stunning white barn venue is a destination in and of itself. Couples seeking a destination that combines location, style and great facilities need look no further than its white walls.
The story of Heyward Manor is a true family affair that spans generations of the Black clan. Brothers Don and Jake built the venue on Charlies Creek Nursery, an expansive tree farm that they founded with their father Heyward Black. More than just a barn, this gorgeous space was built to make wedding dreams come true, including those of the family. Indeed the first wedding hosted at the venue was that of Heyward Black’s granddaughter. Those celebrating their big day will be struck by the immense feeling of space upon entering the manor whose ceiling reaches to celestial heights. Its white color-palette and huge windows create a scene full of light, contrasted by rugged wooden beams. Touches such as antique furniture and crystal chandeliers add an elegance to the setting only paralleled by the grounds outside. The venue is a photographer's delight and the perfect scene for a tasteful photoshoot full of rustic character. Those exchanging vows can pose on the balcony overlooking the manor, or down by the waterfront for idyllic photos. As the sun falls and celebrations continue into the night, couples can take a break from the festivities in the private bridal suite. This hidden space features stylish touches of white and gold, and is also ideal as a get-ready room.
Those hosting their big day at Heyward Manor can expect a warm welcome from the family, and expert support throughout. The management is happy to welcome outside vendors and can provide access to a fully-equipped catering kitchen. They can also advise guests as to the best lodgings available in the area.

We got married at Heyward Manor in May of 2023 and it was so lovely. The team at Heyward really made everything so seamless and easy. They were so sweet to my husband and I. I am so glad that they were able to help us create such beautiful memories in such a beautiful venue. Reviewed on 14-12-2023

I am not sure where to start! Heyward Manor was an absolutely PERFECT venue for my daughter's special day. Tori Beth, Mrs. Libby, and the rest of the staff went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. The service, attention to detail, and professionalism was top notch. The grounds are breathtaking and the buildings are stunning. I couldn't imagine a more perfect location! Heyward Manor is definitely the wedding venue of your dreams! Reviewed on 13-10-2023

Katelyn Price(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 09-10-2021 Heyward Manor is simply a beautiful venue. Pictures never do it justice! The bridal suite is stunning, the views from the windows made it so fun as I got to sit and watch our guest coming in! The lake adds to the beauty in its very own way! Reviewed on 13-01-2022
Bailey Woodham(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 12-06-2021 Heyward Manor was the most perfect place to have my wedding. The Black's have been family friends for years, and I couldn't imagine having it anywhere else. The venue itself is beyond gorgeous. Although they've only been open for a few years, they work with so many vendors regularly, and they're able to provide suggestions if you don't know where to start! They are always looking for ways to spruce up the landscape and add in more flowers/decorations, so a wedding in April could look very different from a wedding in July. I'm so lucky to have had my wedding here and would recommend it to anyone and everyone! Reviewed on 06-01-2022
Candy B(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 01-11-2021 Although my wedding has not taken place yet, let me say that if people only knew the history of this place, they would see the beauty is in the sacred land. Looking forward to things coming full circle from my youth to marriage. Reviewed on 01-11-2021
Rose Nelson(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 11-05-2019 Heyward Manor made every one of our wedding dreams come true! The Black family went above and beyond to make our day all that we could’ve asked for and more. They made our day and the process leading up to it so peaceful and smooth. You will not meet a more genuine family, and they truly want the best for you and for your wedding day. The incredible scenery together with the immaculate detail and beauty of the barn make Heyward Manor the most magnificent venue for wedding of all styles. Having our wedding here was truly the best decision we made throughout our entire wedding planning process, and it will always hold a special place in our hearts. Thankful ❤️ Reviewed on 20-11-2019
