Lowndes Grove

PHG was there for us the entire time. I truly do not have the words to explain how wonderful they are!

he answers. She was all around great for advice.

unicate well, keep the planning process organized, create personalized menu items that are truly delicious, and cater their venue to your needs as the bride and groom. I am so honored to have been able to use this group to bring my wedding vision to life. If you have the opportunity to get married at Lowndes Grove, do not pass it up!

of this venue and the amazing people that work for PPHG. There wasn’t a single thing that PPHG could have done better and I’m serious!! From the constant communication, the INCREDIBLE tasting, the instant replies, and wonderful reassurance while planning a covid wedding, you need to book this venue! There’s literally not a thing I would have changed and you don’t hear that from many brides! The best wedding venue in Charleston and the best group to work with when planning such an important event. Thank you PPHG!

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!

es were so welcoming and accommodating throughout the entire process. Not to mention, the food was phenomenal (our guests still rave about it to this day!). Overall amazing experience!

was just out of this world! (Best short ribs I think I've ever had.) Lowndes is absolutely first class. If I knew someone looking to get married in Charleston, I would send them here without skipping a beat.

xplaining its history would be more appropriate.

tremely helpful, and kept us updated throughout the entire planning. Our tasting was so fun, and I can't speak highly enough about the food that was served at our wedding, everything was delicious. The alcohol, the food, the views, the staff was everything I could have asked for and more. This is hands down the best place to get married in Charleston!

wedding venue! Lucky for us, it was the best decision we made. The staff at Patrick Properties is indeed well appointed with years of combined knowledge in culinary, wedding, and generally making people happy experience. There wasn't a single request that wasn't tended to from the inception to the conclusion of the ceremony. My personal favorite was attending the food tasting with some of our favorite Lowndes Grove staff. To say the least, they make all the difference and made Erica and I feel like extended family. If you are looking for arguably the most beautiful, romantic, and chic wedding venue on the east coast of the US, look no further than Lowndes Grove!

ly the best team I could have imagined working with. We had an intimate wedding (60 guests) and Kaylin & Rachel made us feel so comfortable throughout the entire planning process. Our big day was filled with ZERO stress and every single guest raved about the food, service and beyond beautiful location. For many it was their first visit to CHS & many said they want to come back next summer. This wedding venue is the perfect place to have a wedding beyond your wildest dreams! Xo, Brooke & Joe

orgeous setting - inside and out of Lowndes, and the helpful and attentive staff who made the whole event flow seamlessly. Our wedding exceeded all expectations and was beyond our wildest dreams, all because of PPHG. I only wish I could live the day over again!

e on King Street (about 1 year in advance, I might add). Friday morning our wedding planner was informed that the marquee was scheduled for maintenance that weekend and even though we had paid for the personalized message we could not use the board after all. This was frustrating as we had already made arrangements to have photos done in front of it and paid for it, and the marquee was a huge reason I wanted to book with pphg. I let it go through because it was such a small part of such a big weekend. However, Friday, Saturday, AND SUNDAY the marquee was not only in use, but had multiple different messages on it for other couples. That really rubbed me the wrong way. Not only were we lied to, but they thought we just wouldn't notice it (even though our afterparty was booked at Parcel 32, another one of their venues right next door). For the amount of money we paid to have our wedding there I just expected a little more transparency and professionalism, and to not be lied to on the weekend of our wedding.

everything was ready and more beautiful than we ever imagined. Loluma had outdone themselves. In comes mother nature, not just rain and wind, but a microburst or a squall. The ceremony area was destroyed, one tent ripped away and wrapped in a tree, the main tent partially collapsed. There was broken glass, toppled furniture and ruined linens. I was stunned, and for a few moments unsure of what we were going to do and where. But with our wedding planner, Michael Winship at the helm, the vendors I hired, ever the band Charleston Groove Factory, joined forces and went into action and in an hour turned the nightmare back into a dream. Great Food, Great Music, and the guests all enjoyed themselves. I will be forever grateful. These are the guys you want to hire for your big day. I am blessed and thankful that we did. They went above and beyond to turn what could have been something horrible into something terrific. My thanks and gratitude go to Michael Winship, Charleston Wedding Planner, Lowndes Grove Plantation (Patrick Properties), Loluma (Distinctive Events), Bille Jo and Jeremy Photography, EventHaus Rentals, Snyder Events, Palmetto Strings, All-Mist outdoor Cooling and Ben Fagan and the Charleston Groove Factory. With overwhelming gratitude, Mother of the Bride.

ppen for us. We are a same sex couple, and she really helped to bring us a masculine environment in the bride centered world of weddings. We gave her creative reign and simply put, we were incredibly impressed with Jonie’s ability engage her clients in a way that made everything feel less like a task, and more like fun. Her ability to whimsically execute the mood of our special day all while still having the elements feel so uniquely “US”. If you are looking to plan an experience for you and your guests that is simply unmatched, I would encourage you to hiring Palmetto Bloom !

River House to a soft white which completely awed us when we saw it. It's very fresh and clean looking which was perfect with our light spring colors. The staff is very professional and organized. We worked closely with Rachel and Carley and they were just a dream. They were very prompt on all responses, making sure everything was done in a timely manner. They are very willing to make accommodations where needed and making sure that everything we wanted was accounted for. The food was AMAZING. We were extremely impressed with our tasting but the day of the wedding it was even more impressive. We chose buffet which was way above our expectations. Three stations allowed for everyone to try a little bit of everything. We chose seasonal catch and were highly impressed when it was swordfish. Everything from the starters down to the late night snack was absolutely exquisite and out of this world. PPHG is an amazing operation to work with and did not disappoint at all in the entire process of our wedding. They know the business and it shows. Great work!

ere in contact with from Patrick Properties, was extremely responsive and accommodating the entire planning process. We had so much fun planning our wedding at Lowndes Grove and HIGHLY recommend them for any event!!

at Patrick Properties on all the food and details. They were great to work with - highly responsive and knowledgeable. If food is important to you than Lowndes is a great option for that as well - the food was outstanding, equivalent to what you would expect at a very nice restaurants. Many of our guests said it was the best wedding food they've ever had. In all other areas Lowndes/Patrick was great as well - the day of staff, office staff, etc were professional and friendly. It's not a cheap option but we couldn't have been happier with how our big day turned out.

ng night. The staff is top notch, professional, seamless at what they do and a joy to be around. Ryan and I wouldn't have had it any other way. As a former planner myself, I held all my vendors to a high standard and Lowndes Grove as well as the entire Patrick Properties staff far exceeded our expectations. No words can truly describe our gratefulness. Simply put, it was one of the best days of our lives (which everyone deserves on their wedding day). Reach out for a tour of one of their beautiful properties and you'll quickly realize you're in great hands. All our love! Cait + Ryan

pre-wedding and reception are top notch.

with. And the food! My guests are still raving about their dinner. It was such a memorable experience, not only our wedding day, but each interaction we had throughout the planning process thanks to the team at PPHG. I would highly recommend booking your wedding at Lowndes Grove.

d to be one of the most gorgeous places I have ever seen! You don't even need decorations because the space itself is so beautiful. Also a huge plus that the catering is in-house. I was told by several guests that it was the best food they have ever had at a wedding, and I didn't even have to go through the stress of picking a caterer!

arleston, making it easy for out of town guests. You have a number of options on layout for your special day and lots of space for guests to enjoy. We also had peace of mind that the venue could accommodate our entire wedding party in the event it rained – an option that we thankfully did not need to take advantage of. While all these aspects were great, the best part of the day by far was the food! We still get compliments from our guests on the meal and the cake. When we look back on the day we can honestly say that there’s nothing we would change and it’s thanks to the PPHG team. They took care of us from our first walk through all the way through our departure the day of the wedding. You will not regret booking this special venue for your day!

still talking about how it was the best wedding they've ever been to.

nd grounds lend the perfect backdrops for the ceremony and photos, and the large patio and tent/top options are perfect for receptions, rain or shine (the weather for our daughter’s special day was perfect, and mild enough to use the glass top which was beautiful with the lights.) The PPHG staff and catering proved to be as exceptional as the venue itself. Our event manager, Erin, was wonderful to work with, from our first meeting at the tasting through the taillights going out of the gate at the end of the best day ever! We had several unusual requests and Erin always made us feel like she was eager to help and as excited as we were. She ensured every detail was taken care of (including keeping my champagne glass full at the reception). And like everything else, the FOOD WAS FANTASTIC! After the tasting (a fun day in itself), everything was so good we could not narrow it down to three stations so we did four. Several of our guests have told us it was some of the best food they had ever had (anywhere) and I agree. Our guests also shared how much they enjoyed exploring the venue itself. With the help of Erin, we included the history of LG in our welcome bags. But if I had to narrow it down to my favorite things about LG, at the top of my list would be the access to the house for the full day. We arrived early in the morning and it was so fun to spend the day with our daughter and her wedding party, and it was a dream come true to get to watch the vendors bring our daughter’s dreams to life. What a wonderful special day! Thank you Erin, Amber, and the staff of PPHG! We just wish we could do it all over again!!!!

des Grove & our incredible vendors. I'd do anything to relive that day all over again.. and again!

wn weddings) and I couldn't have been happier with their recommendations. We had a sit-down dinner and they completely customized the menu for us, anything we wanted they could make it happen, and the food was phenomenal. It rivaled some of the finest steakhouses I've been to. Carly and the entire PPG staff made our wedding day a dream, everything went perfectly and they are true wedding professionals.

ictures came out gorgeous with such breathtaking views of the Ashley River in the background. The reception took place inside. The wedding was catered with PPHG and it was delicious — all of our guests raves about the food and cake! The other PPHG staff that I had communication with throughout the wedding planning process were amazing. I couldn’t have asked for a more perfect wedding in the most beautiful, historic Charleston location.

better than before about our decision! Let me just say, THE FOOD, was OUT-OF-THIS-WORLD. From the moment we had our first tasting we were so pumped up about the big event. Our number of guests went down from our original proposal, but we kept the same number of stations.... BECAUSE WE COULDNT POSSIBLY ELIMINATE ONE. When I say the culinary attention to detail is unlike any other wedding or food venue I have seeen, that is an understatement. Every detail of the food was perfect from the seasoning to the spices to the aesthetics. I was getting texts for days about the food. My husband and I only regret that we didnt get to eat more. That being said, PPHG boxed us up 2 of everything to take with us after the big day. The venue is beautiful, the staff is wonderful, so sad that our special day is over but so happy that we booked with best venue ever!! I also want to add that we had a big "foodie" crowd, so when I compliment the food, I dont not do so lightly!! PPHG you rock. Brides who are wondering if this venue is for you.... IT IS!!

he was always on tops of things and very proactive in her communications - she covered every detail and was always prompt in replying to our questions. The biggest complement of all is what our guests kept saying - "best wedding ever - gorgeous venue and great food!"

downtown. All of the local vendors have done a lot of weddings here, so they have a wealth of knowledge for how to best set up everything (and photograph everything). We were initially concerned about not being able to choose our own caterer, but PPHG is AMAZING. We had so many guests tell us it's the best food they've ever had at a wedding (and some said one of the best meals they've ever had anywhere). The staff is incredible - friendly and accommodating. The event managers are great, responsive and easy to work with. On our wedding day, they had a server dedicated just to us to make sure we were able to eat & drink everything. He even chased us across the lawn with drinks!

raving about the food! The team is very organized and worked quite well with my wedding planner, Erica, at Mac & B. The site coordinator, Abigail, made everything flow smoothly during our big day - the food, the bar, and the Cake! All our guests said they had a fabulous time. We had a small intimate (50 guests) wedding and wouldn't change a single thing! The River House has picturesque views at sunset over the Ashley River. If you haven't visited this PPHG property, you are missing out on an amazing wedding venue! The main house is, of course beautiful, but the River House was more suited for us!!

your preferences. You will not regret having your wedding here and we are still receiving praise since last weekend. Our guests have said "It was the best wedding they have ever attended!" We can't wait to see our pictures and video to relive it all again! Thank you so much to our wedding planner Pure Luxe Bride and the team at PPG!

ew the food would be fabulous, and it was! The venue at the River House was absolutely spectacular! The Patrick Properties Team clearly knew what they were doing! We rented the two upstairs bedrooms for the bridal party to get ready and it was perfect! We, and all of our guests, were from out of town and I was anxious that people would be glad they came. EVERYONE raved about the setting, the food and the staff! Patrick Properties was a wonderful group to work with! Abigal Brague did an outstanding job before, during and after the wedding! We are so thrilled to look back and feel so happy about the entire wedding!! Thank you all!!

k her baby leave we had to deal with the start of a line of incompetence. First I wanted a buttercream cake and was told my design could only be done with fondant. I argued they could in fact do what I wanted which ended up being true. Then they told me I could not have an indoor option if it rained and I was required to have a tent...which was an almost 3000.00 extra expenditure and if I did not have a tent I had to pay Snyder rentals 850.00 in order to leave the tent poles and one panel since it satisfied a reduction in the noise ordance. There was never any proof of the sound study which was done to show this was a legal statement. Finally, they never responded to emails and refused to work around my wedding planners schedule. They lost all her paperwork which allowed her to be my planner since she was not on the "approved" vendors and when she did not show up for 1 meeting (they had not shown up for 2), they called and told here horrible things and she would be banned from the property etc. Then called me and told me I had to find another planner. All of this 1 month before my wedding. After numerous problems and issues with the venue and catering company I asked them to send me proof of various things and within 3 days they had mailed me a check and voided my contract with them. This is by far the most incompetent, unprofessional organization I have ever had to deal with and no other company complained about my planner. No one should use Patrick properties for their event as they will not get what they want, they will deal with a group of people that are rude and have no professionalism and risk losing your venue and caterer within 1 month of your wedding. For the money I was going to be this was unacceptable. Bride's BEWARE!!!

experience working with them. The grounds, house, food and service were top notch! Our guests are still talking about it!

r view-it can not be beat. Also, the house itself is lovely. Her second "must have" for her wedding was delicious food that also looked beautiful and would be presented in an elegant fashion. The caterer, Fish, is part of the package at Lowndes Grove. The food was excellent and was served and presented beautifully. The fact that the caterer is part of the venue made the planning of the wedding much easier. The wedding guests commented that they had never had tastier food at a wedding reception! We also used the pastry chef at Fish for the wedding cake- which was phenomenal. The staff at Patrick Properties were well informed, very accommodating and easy to work with. We utilized the "day of" wedding planner through Patrick Properties which I also highly recommend. The wedding went smoothly and I got to enjoy the day with no worries. Basically, my daughter said it all-" It was the best day of her life," and the River House at Lowndes Grove, Fish, and Patrick Properties helped it be that best day.

detail was perfect. It was a wonderful experience from start to finish. I would highly recommend this location and it's team for your event. It was all so beautiful :)

of rain. Leading up to our wedding day, everyone at PPHG was helpful and responsive to emails and making any changes to our catering order that we had. Our sales managerSarah, and event manager Rachel were wonderful! We can't say enough how we had the most perfect wedding day, partly due to how beautiful the backdrop for it was. Thanks again PPHG.

ning. The location on the river in itself is gorgeous, and the furnishings in both The River House and The Main House make beautiful backdrops for photos. Our wedding was a destination wedding, so most of the planning was done with Patrick Properties Hospitality Group via email. The personnel at PPHG were so great to work with, and went above and beyond what I expected of them. Laurel showed us the property initially and was so helpful with us choosing a date and answering all of our many questions. Jackie was our event coordinator and we also used her services (PPHG Signature Services) as our Wedding Coordinator for the wedding day. I cannot say enough wonderful things about Jackie. Every tiny detail was taken care of, down to the little chalkboard signs she prepared for the reception. She was so thoughtful. We did not have to worry about one thing, and were able to completely enjoy the day. You are required to use Fish as the caterer with PPHG properties, but you shouldn't think twice about it. The food was so delicious, and they have a very large menu to select from. It was very difficult for us to make our menu selections! Our guests raved about the gorgeous venue and the wonderful food. It was the perfect place for our wedding, and we honestly would not change one thing!

ot say enough of how much of a perfect choice this was for me and my family on this special day.

bloody mary bar and enjoyed some sun before getting ready. After the ceremony my husband and I were greeted with a drink, passed appetizers and some selections from our station food to ensure that we got to try all the yummy food. All night the staff was friendly and catered to every need of my guests. Fish (the caterer) customized my menu by incorporating family recipes and our wedding cake was to die for!! I will definitely be recommending Lowndes Grove to all of my friends and family for future weddings!!

big plantation style home right by the river. They have several ceremony site locations---all outside although if you had a small wedding you could possibly do it inside the house. My fiance and I wanted to be married outside but so many of the venues we looked at had crummy rain options, but we liked LG's. The rain option was under the tented patio where you can view the river and is attached to the house which I liked. LG requires you to use their catering group (which happens to run FISH restaurant in Charleston in case you want to preview the food). I typically didn't like the idea of being forced to use a venue's caterer as I am always worried about the food quality and options but the food at LG is truly a selling point and highlight! There were SO many options, there is no way you couldn't find what you wanted and oh my goodness, it is so darn tasty! We also enjoyed working with the staff there---all professional and fun to work with and definitely know what they are doing!

ly sophisticaed and romantic feel about it. We had our ceremony early in the day so our reception was very low key and intimate. I enjoyed the staff of PPHG but they were usually very hard to get in touch with--I sent emails that weren't answered until a week later and left phone messages that weren't returned. I usually had to call again to speak with someone. My planner had the same issue with getting in contact. We served a huge southern brunch that all of our guests loved. The appetizers were absolutely delicioius(Shrimp and grits, fried green tomatoes, crab cakes, and pear brie) We served eggs benedict for our egg dish and that was the only thing I had a problem with. They were hard and cold... you could tell they had been sitting for a while before they were served. The wait staff that worked the day of was great-- friendly and polite.
