We booked The Barn at Reeves Farm for a couples wedding shower and it was fantastic. It’s a beautiful venue that can accommodate small or large functions. It offers a large open space, a stage area, nice restrooms, a bar area, air conditioning, and plenty of tables and chairs. The decor is lovely and rustic, but the staff also allowed us to decorate according to our theme. They were prompt to communicate with us and booking was a breeze. They give you the freedom to bring in your own caterer, which is not always welcomed at other venues. There was plenty of parking and outside space for entertaining guests. I highly recommend this place and will definitely be booking for future events.

The Porter Room

North Charleston, SC
  • Up to 200 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor

Located beside the Noisette Creek at Holy City Brewing, The Porter Room offers a unique venue unlike any other in the Charleston area. The marsh-view side of the building features glass, retractable doors that span the length of the building and open up to a beautiful, private lawn. On the other side of the building, sliding glass doors open up to a large patio area that has the option to be tented. This space is fully equipped with an open dance floor, surround sound speakers, a catering kitchen, and a full bar with up to 8 Holy City Craft taps.

Just 10 minutes from historic downtown Charleston and walking distance to Park Circle’s restaurants, bars and shops, this beautifully versatile marsh front location provides the perfect setting for your special day.

So much greenery and nature to enjoy while having a rustic venue! Very down to earth folks, so nice and accommodating to work with. Only docked some points for email communications which were sometimes missed, so when booking I'd say just make direct phone calls or plan to meet with the venue team in person once or twice and you're GOLDEN! My mother was concerned about wines which would be available at venue and they set up a whole wine tasting for her to ensure they provided wines she liked! They are now partnered with artists to provide beautiful local art for your event - however we have a family artist and they allowed us to hang my great-grandfathers art works for the event! It was the most incredible day and this venue was the platform for it all!

Awarded Best of Zola
Having my wedding at the Seabrook Island Club was always my dream, so it was no surprise that it was the first decision (after saying yes to my now husband) I made when planning my wedding! We were lucky enough to be one of the first couples who had their reception at the newly renovated clubhouse and all of my guests to this day still talk about how beautiful it is there. Everything was taken care of with the utmost professionalism and kindness. Michelle, the wedding coordinator, was patient and answered every question we had--which was quite a lot due to planning a wedding during COVID. One of my favorite memories was waiting in the bridal suite with my husband after pictures and before cocktail hour--it was a quick moment we were alone together and Michelle brought us some hors d'oeurves and cocktails to enjoy before our guests arrived! I still cannot get over not only how beautiful the Clubhouse is, but how wonderful the staff is! It lived up and surpassed, my dream wedding!
