Why You'll Love This Place

A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
  • Charleston charm abounds at this elegant waterfront estate, the last of its kind in the downtown sector. Set on the banks of the Ashley River, it offers unparalleled coastal views.
  • Wed with the beautiful 1786 manor home as your backdrop, then host a tented reception on a lovely outdoor terrace overlooking the grounds and river.
  • Intimate affairs may be held in the home itself, where you'll be surrounded by period furnishings and exquisite architectural details, including a dramatic three-story spiral staircase.
