Living History Park — Attraction in Aiken County

Attended a wedding at this location the management was terrible. The owner specifically spent the evening we had rented out harassing the bride, groom, caterers, and family attending with threats of towing vehicles, and calling the police on them. The owner was essentially power tripping over any and everything she could; she even interrupted the wedding ceremony to try and be a part of it. The initial plan was for the entire weekend to be rented out so we could take our time getting everything ready, twelve hours after that first payment she called, and explained more money was owed at an extra $15 per hour to her nephew so he could guard the park while we weren't there. Because of her money grubbing with hidden fees the plans ended up being changed to a 1 day Noon - Evening rental, which she went out of her way to ruin. Avoid this place...

I recently catered a wedding that was held at the Living History Park. While the park itself is beautiful, the staff literally could not give it to me free of charge. The kitchen had no running hot water, we were badgered every two minutes to move our vehicles while we were trying to unload food for the reception. The parking is nonexistent unless you park an enormous distance from the venue. It's my understanding that the wedding couple were then hit with several hundred dollars of hidden fees. While I was very impressed with the venue, I was disappointed...

Let me cover the long list of positives from our visit: grass and a few benches. Where else can one go to find both grass and benches in the same place? Pack your bags now, load up the sports wagon, and make sure your phones are charged to take pictures of all the excitement, like walking, sitting, and standing. Oh, but don't pack any balls, for those are against park rules. That's right, a park that allows no balls. What's next? No fun? No smiling? No sunshine? At least the employees/volunteers were rude and cantankerous. Admission was free and worth...
