Heyward Manor

Heyward Manor is... so much more than a wedding venue… It’s our home.
Established in 2019, Heyward Manor was designed and built by brothers Don and Jake Black on their 650-acre family-owned tree farm – Charlie’s Creek Nursery – in Iva, South Carolina. Heyward Manor is located less than an hour from Greenville, South Carolina. Situated among a tree farm, green meadows, landscaped gardens and a natural lake, a beautiful white cathedral-like barn invites guests to explore what’s beyond its handcrafted wooden doors. With three large windows at the front; glass, French doors lining both sides; and a breathtaking display of windows at the back; Heyward Manor is a photographer’s dream with unlimited natural light. When the sun goes down, delicate chandeliers light up the inner whitewashed walls, outlined by natural cedar beams.

Features and Amenities


Two covered areas, decorated with string lights, lie on both sides of the barn, allowing guests to enjoy the South Carolina countryside rain or shine. Heyward Manor’s patio features soft, grey pavers and offers couples the ideal space for a cocktail hour, unconventional dance floor or even an intimate wedding overlooking the lake. A small path, lit with string lights, leads to a new, circular hydrangea garden and a smaller lakeside meadow, featuring a picturesque rope swing. Behind the venue lies a larger meadow that includes a stunning wheat field in the summer and lasts through early fall. 
 
A dreamy bridal suite is located on the second floor of the venue, with a small balcony overlooking the entire Manor. Jeweled chandeliers, one-of-a kind mirrors, granite countertops, antique furniture, a private restroom and white fur and gold accents adorn the special space where brides will spend time with their friends and family before they say, “I do.”
 
Grooms are offered an elegant “man-cave” located in the back of the venue, complete with its own restroom, an antique couch, leather accent pieces and an original, Colorado elk hide.
 
Whether looking for a rustic wedding or a Black-Tie affair, Heyward Manor can make all your dreams come true. The simplicity of the white walls, cedar beams and natural landscape can be customized to each unique taste, while also enjoying all the modern conveniences including heating and air, built-in speakers, four restrooms, a hidden kitchen with separate access and much more.

This picture-perfect white venue is surrounded by a 650-acre family-owned tree farm, with unparalleled countryside views. Where couples can truly escape from it all, for an intimate wedding like none other.
