Lowndes Grove

with their impeccable attention to detail and thoughtful safety precautions that kept all our guests safe but didn’t obstruct from the beauty of the day. As the world was constantly changing, PPHG and our event manager Kailin kept us up to date with the latest PPHG safety guidelines so we could make any necessary modifications to our ceremony and reception. Absolutely nothing in terms of quality was sacrificed because of this crazy world we’re living in. So many people approached my husband, my family, and me at the wedding and in the weeks following to tell us our wedding was the most beautiful wedding they had ever attended. I will say the highest compliment our wedding received was the food! Everything was so delectable — we even had one friend say he would request the jumbo seared scallops from our reception on his death bed, if possible. PPHG not only holds the keys to the crown jewel venues in Charleston, but also to top-tier caterers, pastry chefs and event staff.

the venue itself to the most intimate details, everything was absolutely beautiful.

he River House checked those boxes. From the moment we emailed for information, the staff over at the River House were always prompt to respond and super attentive to our questions. Planning from afar and during a pandemic wasn't the easiest or most stress-free task, so being comforted and able to trust that our wedding day would go as planned from them was certainly helpful. Our wedding day turned out beautifully and everything went as expected. The only thing I would've hoped for was more flexibility in regards to what vendors we could use for certain things but other than that, I'm happy to have had our celebration there. Definitely well worth it- my husband and I are very pleased with how everything turned out.

to work with couples during this time! The service was incredible and Lowndes Grove was the most beautiful venue we could have imagined.

w important weddings are and want to make sure everything is taken care of to make your day exactly what you envisioned with few hiccups. We had our hearts set on getting married in Charleston but had never seen Lowndes Grove in person. We decided to take the leap of faith and we're so glad we did! The property was absolutely stunning, well kept and definitely lived up to our expectations. Thank you for giving us the perfect venue to create such precious memories. We feel fortunate to have had the chance to work with your team! Best, Madison + Nick

ver House) on a whim and they happened to have a date available. Abby and the team planned my entire wedding in just 9 weeks and it was truly spectacular! I had so many guests come up and compliment how well the decor, food, and overall experience was; I was never stressed out and just knew the team would ensure everything ran smoothly. This venue is perfect! I can't wait to see our photos!

iful. We were incredibly lucky and had the most perfect day with an amazing sunset to end the night. It was beyond perfection. We had 100 people at our wedding and guests were able to move about freely on the property. This added to the overall experience because guests could take pictures on the dock or in the properties main house. They could also move about under the reception tents and take in the fabulous views and décor. Kailin was our main event coordinator for the venue and her and the entire team at Lowndes Grove was incredible. The food and beverage team hit it out of the park with everyone's meal and there wasn't one person who had a poor experience. The appetizers we selected were so delicious and every guest had so much fun eating the chicken and waffle app as well as the fresh shucked oysters. I was thoroughly impressed that the team had provided my husband and I with our own plates of the passed appetizers to eat before we had our first course. Every guest was enamored with how all the meals were served and placed at the same time. The seasonal catch and center cut filet was cooked perfectly for every person. Again, every guest had a phenomenal dinning experience and I couldn't have been more pleased with the food, flow of the event and the level of perfection that Kailin and the Lowndes Grove team provided us with.

ly after having to postpone our wedding a year due to COVID. When we had to cancel our wedding in April of 2020, at the time it was obviously devastating, but the PPHG team worked with us to find a new date in April of 2021 and made the entire rescheduling process so seamless and easy. We cannot thank them enough for their support and grace during that difficult time. When we finally got married on April 2, 2021 it was the most magical day and everything was beyond our expectations! We truly had the best experience at Lowndes Grove and with the PPHG team and I wish we could relive that day over and over again <3

d I discussed a micro wedding out of state. When choosing Charleston, we found The River House on Lowndes Grove and immediately reached out. We were beyond impressed and pleased with the service we received from the very beginning, reaching out through emails, setting up phone calls, even face-timing to see the venue since we were out of state- Erin was extremely helpful and made us feel confident in every decision we made throughout the early stages. When it came down to the menu and drink/ day of details Molly was great to work with and helped to clarify any questions we had in a timely manner. The staff at PPHG always made themselves available to us. Arriving at the venue for the first time, it was beyond gorgeous- both inside and out. The location was amazing and the setup and scenery was unlike anything we could have imagined. There is something to be said, having a ceremony and reception right on the river with the sunset- truly something myself, my fiancé and our small amount of family and friends will never forget. THE FOOD, OMG the food was fantastic, everyone who attended our wedding told us hands down it was the best food at a wedding that they have ever had (and I know they were not just saying this). Everything came out hot and in a good timely manner. The service we had on the day of with all of the wait staff, bar tending and coordination was outstanding, I truly didn't have to worry about a thing. The communication between the staff was truly remarkable, they helped explain COVID and what they were doing to help social distance, they made us feel at home and our guest comfortable. Truly thank you from the bottom of our hearts- we will never forget our day and the amazing time we had at the River House.

of Charleston and the low country! The PPHG staff was very professional and easy to work with. Our event manager, Kailin Good, made everything a breeze for us. Planning a wedding during a pandemic is stressful enough as is, and PPHG helped us through every aspect of it. They have specific protocols in place to protect staff and guests, which made us comfortable throughout the whole process. The in-house catering is also amazing! I can’t recommend a better setting or staff to work with than Lowndes Grove and Patrick Properties!

ail was with us on the day-of. She is SO sweet!! While we were getting ready in the cute little condo upstairs she brought us up some wine which was so thoughtful! I highly recommend renting the condos upstairs as it's the perfect little space to get away if you need a little break or to spend the night after your event. The food was DELICIOUS - do yourself a favor and make sure the Pork Belly is on your menu. All of my guests were raving about it. Overall, it was a perfect experience from start to finish from the PPHG staff, the set up, food/bar, & our overnight stay. Highly recommend!!

ful outdoor space on the Ashley River sets a fantastic backdrop for both ceremony and reception and the house provides lots of space for getting ready plus creates options / flexibility for a cocktail hour or even ceremony. It poured on the day of our wedding and we were able to do our ceremony on the large porch upstairs overlooking the whole property. Second, PPHG’s in-house food and beverage capabilities are excellent. We heard from many of our guests, and we certainly agreed ourselves, that it was the best food they had ever had at a wedding. Since all food – from hors d’oeuvres to dessert – is done in-house by PPHG, you work directly with them to do a comprehensive tasting (which is a lot of fun) and build a menu from tons of delicious, local-inspired and seasonal options. They also do an excellent job of customizing / catering to any special needs / requests – bride in our case had a gluten allergy and PPHG made special servings of nearly every single item specifically for her. We even did a fully gluten free wedding cake, which, again, was the best wedding cake we have ever had and received numerous compliments from guests. Bride and groom definitely get taken care of the whole time. Perhaps more important than all the above, however, is that everybody from PPHG we interacted with, during the planning phase and at the wedding itself, was wonderful. We originally were supposed to get married at Lowndes Grove in April but had to postpone due to COVID. We interacted primarily with Abigail Roderick during the planning / re-scheduling phase, and she was incredibly helpful, understanding, and accommodating throughout and made the whole process as stress-free and smooth as possible given the circumstances. She (and all other staff we worked with) was always responsive and had a high degree of coordination with our wedding planner, which made things easy on us. Ultimately our wedding, from planning to the day itself, was executed with very high attention to detail and a focus on keeping everybody safe during COVID without taking anything away from the special day. We can’t thank Abigail and the PPHG staff enough and would highly recommend working with them (and loved Lowndes Grove in particular)!

ed time. The venue, the food, the service were simply top notch. From the tasting to the execution of the wedding day, everything was superb. They were extremely safe and cautious with COVID, the grounds were absolutely dreamy, and our guests are still talking about the shrimp and grits at our brunch wedding. We are so thrilled to have had their team be a part of our special day!

nted chefs and bakers. The food was delicious and I’m still getting compliments almost a month later! You will be sold by the beauty of their venues (especially Lowndes Grove) and will be immensely impressed by their hospitality throughout the process! If you’re planning during a pandemic like I was, take solace knowing that PPHG’s team will be with you every step of the way. They care about safety and I truly couldn’t have felt more comfortable with how they handled all of the precautions. Lowndes is great because your day can be mostly outdoors or under large open-sided tents so there is plenty of airflow and room to distance! Finally, I can’t imagine a better or more beautiful place to host my wedding. PPHG has great relationships and communication with so many industry professionals, which makes planning and hosting your most special day stress free!!

and helpful and coordinated well with my wedding planner. They made the planning process as easy as possible, especially while getting married during COVID-19. They do the catering through PPHG and the food was absolutely incredible! Our guests were more than complimentary about everything with this venue. Our wedding was on 10/8/20, and the weather, location, etc. was all more perfect than my husband and I could have ever imagined!

onal, knowledgeable, approachable, responsive, and helpful. Special shout out to our Sales Manager - Erin Elliot - who made the process of booking the venue easy and enjoyable. She was a major reason we booked our venue in the first place! Other venues we visited made us feel like we were just another couple, with dollar signs over our heads. Erin treated us with such incredible customer service, didn't pressure us, listened to our wants & needs, and helped us make it all happen. Abby helped us with our menu/catering planning process, and accommodated every single request we had. Post-wedding, my husband, our families, and I haven't stopped raving about how GLAD we are that we hired PPHG . They made sure our event was safe, seamless, and beautiful. If you're looking for the best of the best when it comes to Charleston event venues, look no further than PPHG. Oh - and Lowndes Grove itself is just a dream come true! The venue itself is stunning, kept in great condition, and was the perfect location for my husband & I to tie the knot. We hope we get to host another event at one of the PPHG properties sometime in the future because it was just that amazing of an experience! Thank you, PPHG team, for helping us plan our dream wedding, and doing so in a way that was safe & professional!

rfect because we got to work with PPHG. I truly cannot say enough great things about them. Trying to plan a wedding during the COVID-19 pandemic was stressful to say the least but PPHG was with us every step of the way. We had some last minute changes (of course) and they were flexible and helped us walk through what we needed. The wedding day itself was PERFECT and we couldn't have done it without PPHG. From beautiful venues, to HEAVENLY food, PPHG can do it all. Their team makes you feel so special and they truly want to do whatever they can to make sure your special day is everything you hoped and dreamed it would be. I want to relive our wedding day over and over again and I will forever recommend them to friends and family who are engaged!

ding would not be possible due to COVID-19. In the days leading up to our decision to postpone our wedding, our event managers with PPHG were with us every step of the way, talking through options and scenarios, answering every question, and ultimately helping us make the decision to postpone. PPHG’s goal in every conversation was to make sure we still would be able to get married at Lowndes Grove, whatever that might look like in the COVID world. They were flexible with our contract and guest count, and applied grace and common sense at every turn. As our new wedding date approached (June 29, 2020), we still found ourselves in a COVID environment, but in line with the reopening phase, our wedding would be allowed to proceed. Since we were one of the first weddings PPHG would host in this post-COVID environment, we worked with our event manager Abby at PPHG, along with our event planner Samantha Anderson, to navigate the steps we would take to host our event safely. Determining how our event could proceed was extremely challenging and like trying to hit a moving target, but the PPHG team again handled every conversation and decision with grace and common sense. In the end, we hosted a beautiful, intimate wedding at Lowndes Grove on June 29th. The safety measures in place (Guest health check in, sanitizing, table spacing, masks on staff, etc.) were all handled carefully and professionally, and our event was flawless. The safety precautions were blended so seamlessly with our event that they did not stand out, and our wedding did not feel like a “COVID wedding”. Additionally, PPHG does their own catering, and the food is phenomenal. All of our Guests told us that they felt like they were at a high end restaurant and not a wedding because the food is that good. Whether you choose Lowndes Grove or another PPHG venue for your event, you will be in the best hands with this five star team.

reath that this one would work out with dates and budgets. We had our wedding here on 2/29/20! The last day of off season pricing; it increases on March 1st. Everything about this venue, the team behind it and their incredible catering is one of a kind!! They are truly seasoned experts when it comes to large, detailed weddings. Not only do they make sure that the bride and groom are well fed and taken care of the entire evening, but they pay close attention to each and every guest. They are the epitome of professionalism and they make the entire day look like an effortless, dreamy page out of a book. From a bride's perspective, I had a relaxing day of getting ready at the house. I showed up at 9 am on my wedding day and had my hair/makeup/lunch all brought onsite. It made for such a relaxing start to our day! We had our ceremony on the front lawn, cocktails by the water and then dinner/dancing under the tented stone patio. We ended the night by taking a fire truck home - only 1 mile down the road where we now live! We walk by Lowndes Grove every week and I reminisce on this incredible night, wishing we could do it again!

p for our day. The team at Patrick Properties are absolute professionals - they attended to every single detail with so much care. The food and bar packages offered were unique and offered a great taste of Lowcountry foods. We loved every one of the staff and are so thankful to them for making our day so special!

LL of your questions. I don’t think we could have done it without her help. Everyone that we worked with at PPHG was incredible and so helpful. LG is beautiful and captured the exact Charleston, low country natural beauty we were looking for on our big day. The trees and the water created the perfect setting and we made sure to walk out on the dock to take it all in. The house is beautiful and full of history too. We are so happy with our choice and we would not change a thing.

was our event associate. Both are absolutely phenomenal at their job. Communication is key, which they do not disappoint. Even if either were out of town or working on another event, we always heard back that same day. Anything we requested, yes was the answer. The tasting was so much fun! The little touches just made it that much more memorable, fun and perfect! Our big day was just perfect! EVERYONE raved about the food, drinks, and the venue. It's hard to find a wedding venue where food, drinks and the venue are absolutely perfect. We let me tell you, stopping hunting... this is the place! It's perfect! The entire process was seamless. Never was I stressed. Not even on our wedding day. I had full confidence in the PPHG team. I cannot remember our bartenders name; however, she was a rock star! Everyone loved her! I use the word "perfect" a lot because it's absolutely true. You will not be disappointed! Icing on the cake for the guests, a dolphin popped out of the water in the river!
