Since then he has gone on to work in every kind of establishment from dive to fine dining from California to Boston and New York, and internationally. He has spent over a decade in craft cocktails. After training and working with the best and brightest in the NYC craft cocktail scene, while also developing and running his own programs for nearly a decade, Jeremy ventured out into the international bartending community. He then designed, implemented, and ran a first it’s kind cocktail program in Mumbai, India that was nominated for best in India and landed on places to watch for 50Best. After guest appearances and master classes in Delhi, and Hong Kong, Jeremy returned to where it all started in Charleston to open his first restaurant, Coterie.

Coterie was an absolute dream as a wedding venue. The space itself is stunning, lush jungle-like plants everywhere, creating an intimate, romantic atmosphere. The outdoor area, wit...
h its warm lights, was beautiful and comfortable. There was plenty of space and seating for mingling. The indoor space gave guests the option to step away from the excitement when they needed a quieter moment.
Jeremy and Jay were exceptional from start to finish. They were incredibly accommodating, responded to every question quickly, and on the day of the wedding they went so above and beyond to ensure everything was flawless. We truly felt taken care of.
And the food... wow. Our guests couldn’t stop talking about how great it was. It felt so special to serve a wedding meal that was genuinely delicious. We really wanted our wedding to feel like an epic dinner party and we so got that with Coterie and Chef Graham Calabria.
I really can’t can't say enough about how perfect the day was. I’m so grateful we chose Coterie and would recommend this venue to anyone without hesitation.

g atmosphere, and Coterie delivered on every level. The patio’s lush, overgrown greenery created such a beautiful setting that we barely needed to decorate at all.
My friends and family are still talking about how much fun the night was. The vibes were unmatched, and Jeremy and Jay truly went above and beyond to make the evening unforgettable. I couldn’t have asked for a better place to kick off our wedding celebrations.

Coterie was the perfect venue for our Rehearsal Dinner and Welcome Party in Charleston! They were amazing to work with and made our dream of two events in one, come true! We starte...
d with a rehearsal and an open mic for speeches from our family and friends of about 40 guests. It was an open bar and they served us a 5 course meal. We then extended the party to all of our guests who were in town for our wedding weekend as we are Texans and wanted a destination wedding in Charleston. we transitioned to a ticketed cocktail hour/welcome party. We gave each guest a ticket for a drink on us. If they wanted additional drinks, it was on them. We had a phenomenal event! Jay, Jeremy, and SaQuan were incredible, along with their entire team. 10/10 recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This space was incredible. We loved the use of the garden patio space more than anything. After painting a mural inside Coterie, my husband and I decided to get married and host ou...
r reception in Charleston.
So, during the inception of Coterie, there was actually the beginning of two humans falling into the feeling, that maybe, we should get married. I think that energy still lives at Coterie.
We worked with team to create a totally original 7 course menu at the time along with craft cocktails made by their amazing bartenders. Our guests were able to have cocktails unlike any others I have had at a wedding.
The overhanging flowers on the patio made it feel like a dream. We were able to use all the beautiful greens to create a garden party reception along with our florals. More importantly, the originality of this venue shows during events. It is warm, different, dream like, and it feels like you can truly enjoy yourself. And that's because, it isn't just a wedding venue gimmick. It is actually a space of creative talent within hospitality.
For the couple that wants to create an original experience - this is the right fit. As an artist who creates murals, I never wanted to have a basic wedding at a venue where everything is picked from a big binder of outdated vendors, and Coterie allowed me to escape that dreaded experience. I was able to craft an evening that felt truly me.
We worked with their team to even create a menu that honored the backgrounds of an Asian-Caribbean//American menu. We were able to have oysters, charcuterie platters, and beautiful cocktails with our name melted into our ice cubes and cocktails featuring our name + art. We cut our cake inside with the art as our backdrop.
I loved this venue for so many reasons, but more than anything, I recommend it for the bride who wants something she can dream of, but can't quite find at a traditional wedding venue. The creative talent at Coterie can make it happen. I am a lot when it comes to what I imagine, but Coterie was able to work with my planner in Charleston and make this happen. For reference, I live in NJ, and this was planned and organized by their team working with my planner to get the right rentals for napkins, table clothes, vases and more. This allowed me to feel safe that I was able to curate the exact vibe I was going for.
