The Porter Room 

5.0

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. The venue provides all bar glassware as well as table and chair seating for up to 100 guests at no additional cost. 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.

The Porter Room was the perfect venue for our wedding! From the start, their communication was mainly via email, which was convenient and responsive. The space itself is great - it's a large, moldable area that allowed us to truly customize it for our special day. The easy access for set up and clean up was a huge plus, and the bar staff were amazing - timely, professional, and attentive to our guests. The event coordinator was also incredibly organized, available, and informative throughout the planning process. The beautiful marshlands in the back, lined with gorgeous oak trees, provided a stunning backdrop, and the blank canvas of the Porter Room resulted in photos that our guests are still raving about. I highly recommend this location for any event, especially a wedding!
