National Steeplechase Museum

National Steeplechase Museum is a wedding venue located in Camden, SC, just under 40 minutes outside of Columbia. Situated on the historic grounds of the Springdale Race Course, this is the only museum in the United States dedicated to steeplechasing. The institution showcases the best of the sport and offers a one-of-a-kind setting for special occasions. When hosting at the National Steeplechase Museum, couples can share their big day with up to 250 guests. Ceremonies can be held on the venue’s lush lawn. An arch can be set up beside towering trees, framing you and your partner as you exchange vows. The manicured landscape also makes for unique photo opportunities. After saying “I do,” you and your guests can head inside the museum for celebratory drinks, dining, and dancing. If you'd prefer to continue creating memories in the open air, the lawn is an ideal spot for a tented reception. Whether you’re hosting your engagement party, wedding shower, rehearsal dinner, or ceremony and reception, they are happy to accommodate you. To simplify the planning process, the staff at the National Steeplechase Museum have curated a number of wedding packages. You are welcome to rent the building and grounds for up to 12 hours or just the event facility, depending on your preferences. Included in each rental are event items such as round, rectangular, and cocktail tables. To create stand-out reception meals, your preferred culinary team can use the on-site catering kitchen and butler’s pantry. For a seamless, personalized experience on your big day, the museum’s team has put together a list of trusted local vendors. Recommended services include caterers, bartenders, rental companies, and entertainers.
