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.

op!!! Many of our guests said this was the most beautiful and best run wedding they had ever been to! Not only is the venue breathtaking but the service and food quality is top notch!!! Patrick Properties is so accommodating and helped me create the perfect specialty cocktails for our big day which were a huge hit!!! PPHG is so organized and eager to help and they make sure everything runs so smoothly!!! So thankful we chose to work with this incredible team!! If you want a flawless wedding with show stopper food and beverages where you don’t have to worry about a thing, then book with PPHG now!!!!!!

moothly and we had a wonderful experience. Lowndes Grove is an absolutely beautiful venue, and the PPHG team is extremely professional and kind. I would not change anything about my experience with PPHG or our wedding day. It was perfect.

ng with were so outstanding, accommodating, and friendly. There were many aspects of this venue that makes it superior to others. Part of renting this venue is that it opens up for the bridal party to get ready in the house starting at 9am. We were able to explore the entire property and watch everything get set up throughout the day, while being served lunch and mimosas by PPHG staff and made over by the hair and make-up artists. In addition to this, Lowndes Grove also provides the front yard for the ceremony, space inside/outside the house for cocktail hour, and the river-front tent for the reception, so guests don't have to worry about transportation to and from different parts of the night. The venue is also located in downtown Charleston, so the majority of the guests had a 5-10 minute Uber ride from their hotels to the property. You cannot beat the location!! The food is also top notch. PPHG chefs work in a kitchen in the house, so this venue operates as a restaurant and produces food that is better than most restaurants I have been to in Charleston. This was such an added bonus to me as quality of food is important to me and in my experience attending other weddings, it is hard to find mass-produced food the is truly delicious. I would suggest doing the plated dinner as the servers operated on the same level of elegance as a fine-dining restaurant, delivering everyones plates in a synchronized manner at each table. I also want to give a special shout out to my wedding planner, Shannon, from Hill & Co. Creative. She worked effortlessly with PPHG as she has orchestrated numerous weddings at Lowndes Grove and developed a great working relationship with their employees. My wedding day was in late July and was unfortunately hit with several rain-showers throughout the day and night, but the way in which PPHG and my wedding planner adapted to the unpredictable weather made the storms nearly unnoticeable to the wedding guests, my husband, and I. This venue has plan B's for bad weather and will not let it ruin your big day. Despite all of the rain, multiple wedding guests were approaching my husband and I and telling us it was by far the best wedding and venue they had ever attended. I could go on and on about how fantastic this venue is and how blessed we were to have our wedding here, but I am limited on characters in this review. Do not hesitate to have your wedding here if you are able to!! It will be undoubtedly so perfect and something you will be proud of to share with all of your loved ones forever!

, and the PPHG staff were incredible to work with. From start to finish, the communication, the planning process, the tasting experience, their high attention to detail, and overall execution was perfect! They do an excellent job customizing and catering to any special needs or requests, and making sure the bride and groom are taken care of on the wedding day! They exceeded our expectations in every way. Our guests absolutely raved over the entire event. We continue to receive compliments on how amazing our wedding was! Truly a five-star experience that we can’t recommend enough! Thank you PPHG for making our day so special. -Alyse & Jacob

to-- I wanted to move right in to Lowndes Grove and never leave! We wouldn't change a thing about our wedding day or the planning leading up to it-- we trusted PPHG entirely and they exceeded all expectations. We hope to plan another event with them in the future because they were that amazing. Can't recommend using PPHG enough!!

ind the scenes) made my wife and I feel special and important from the beginning of our engagement. Their attention to detail, responsiveness, and communication was everything we could’ve asked for and more. All their passion and efforts that went into making our day so magical at Lowndes Grove was on full display with the beauty of the venue and coordination of all the vendors. The process was seamless. My wife, kids, family and friends were so appreciative for the collaboration and care from the entire staff. We just couldn’t have imagined our day being this amazing with the leadership of Abby and the Team. Gratitude and Blessed truly can’t describe what we feel for this group. Brian and Brandi Hunley

rsion of the Espresso Martini- which was such a hit guest we’re taking trays of them from the servers! We look forward to our second daughter’s wedding reception!

tail during the tasting day and phenomenal service from the entire staff during the actual wedding is truly unmatched. The food is INCREDIBLE, the grounds are stunning, and it is very easy to get to for your guests traveling out of town. In addition, PPHG has the BEST wedding planner in the business. My husband and I live in NYC and Abby truly made the entire experience so seamless and fun. The amount of people that went up to us during our wedding complimenting how amazing it was and it really was because Abby gave us the best options Charleston has to offer for every element a wedding entails. I could not recommend a place more to host your wedding day. It was best day of our lives because it was at Lowndes Grove.

tacular. Everyone on the team was above and beyond helpful, professional, and kind! The food, the service, the communication, the execution - it was all perfect. We are so happy with our results and so grateful! We recommend PPHG and Lowndes Grove to everyone we know getting married in Charleston.

tion where I was ever told "no." As a planner, it has been a unique experience to be a bride and to see everything from a new lens. Lowndes Grove totally speaks for itself when you step foot on the property. Waterfront, grand, serene, and elegant in every way. It is to no surprise that you all host some of the most beautiful weddings in the world. Then, you have the people. Rachel and Kelly were as warm and excited and genuine as they come. I had a relationship with them that was likely a little more "vendor-esque" than most brides and I loved that they met me where I was being both planner and bride. Then, you have the food. Our guests have not stopped talking about the food. I really cannot emphasize this enough. They keep talking and talking and talking about it. Mason and I are "foodies" and food was always important to us. With an exclusive caterer though, you get what you get. Luckily between your menu and your reviews, there was little to be concerned about. Either way, you far exceeded our expectations. I designed a wedding that I was very proud of, and catering met us right where we were. Thank you so so so much. I'd get married at Lowndes Grove again and again and again! Thank you all for your hospitality and partnership. You are top notch!!

isappoint. Their food is wonderful and their staff is friendly, accommodating, and professional. I could not have imagined having my wedding anywhere else other than Lowndes Grove. My guests were wow-ed from start to finish. It was truly the best day of my life. I cannot thank the PPHG staff enough. They are the DREAM TEAM!!!!

rough the gates of Lowndes Grove and down the lane of majestic oaks we knew it was the perfect place to host our wedding (and this was before evening seeing inside of the gorgeous house and the world record-setting longest and most picture perfect dock!) It's apparent the pride that PPHG takes in preserving and maintaining its gorgeous portfolio of properties and I think is a testament to its superb event planning capabilities as well as its deep love for preserving the gorgeous history of the holy city. So as excited as we were to host our wedding at the (undisputed) best venue in Charleston, we had no idea how lucky we got to be able to work with Abby Frye & Gabbie Accorsi as our wedding planners. As a bride who works in the events industry, I was most concerned with hiring the 'right' wedding planning to help keep my type A, over-planning self at ease, and Abby knocked everything completely out of the park. The level of detail, professionalism, and care that both Abby and Gabbie shared with us through the entire planning process was top-notch and something I will be thanking them for many years to come (hopefully over a glass of wine or two!) If you decide to book Lowndes Grove (or any of the PPHG venues for your wedding) you can rest assured that the venue, food, drinks and event staff will be the best Charleston has to offer. I am gladly stepping into my new favorite role as PPHGs biggest fan girl, and will recommend them to all newly engaged family and friends! PPHG exceeded all of our expectations and gave us an absolute dream come true wedding day.

the prettiest wedding venues I have ever seen. Working with PPHG made the wedding day stress free and fun! Jackie and Kailin were incredible to work with- professional, prompt and so kind. Kailin was there for our tasting to offer guidance but never pushed anything on us. She also made the entire wedding night run so seamlessly. Jackie and Kailin were there every step of the way and answered any and all questions I had. It truly was the best day- from the beautiful ceremony site, to the sunset on the dock, to passed hors d'oeuvres, dinner and drinks, to our cake, to late night passers... the list goes on and on! I will dream of my wedding day and this venue for the rest of my life. If you feel Lowndes is your venue- GO FOR IT. You won't regret it!

ughout the property, it’s a lowcountry scene worthy of celebration. What we couldn’t have imagined, however, was the experience we had working with Abby Frye and Gabbie Accorsi at Peninsula Events. If we were blown away by Lowndes Grove, we hit the jackpot with Abby and Gabbie. It seems there’s a lot of misconceptions when it comes to hiring wedding planners, the first being the title is wildly unfair and inaccurate. I don’t think these two sleep, let alone take a day off. Saying they are “wedding planners” would be like calling your dentist a “cavity filler,” a jockey a “horse rider” or an engineer “good at math;” there’s so much more behind those roles that it wouldn’t just be disrespectful, it’d be borderline illegal! Abby and Gabbie are the epitome of a great team. It’s no surprise that Abby was voted Best Event Planner for Charleston City Paper’s “Best of Charleston 2022”. Together, these two were meticulous in helping us plan, coordinate, manage and successfully execute the wedding of our dreams. They left no stone unturned. It started when they gave our families a tour of Lowndes, helping us visualize the ceremony, cocktail hour, reception, dancing and send-off. From there, we met no less than a dozen times - both virtually and in-person - talking through design, layouts, timelines, vendors and more. Their expertise was invaluable; from “can’t miss” options we wouldn’t regret, to potential landmines we might avoid, to their clever and creative tricks keeping us on budget… they really have a gift. The week of our big day, some inclement weather threw us a bit of a curveball. Abby and Gabbie didn’t even blink. They went back to the drawing board, made some adjustments and the wedding was probably even better for it. One of our favorite memories from our wedding was the two of them coming over to check in, giving us an update on timing, telling us what was coming next and invariably handing us a new drink. We truly love Abby Frye and Gabbie Accorsi. We hope to never get married again, but if we throw a 10-yr anniversary party, we know exactly who we’ll be calling!

Events) were top notch! They exceeded our expectations! And did I mention the food?? Amazing!!

n to accommodate our party. Our NY guests raved about the food and the location and access to the dock was a nice touch. Our only complaints are the bartender was making the drinks a bit weak and it was about 58 degrees so it would have helped everyone warm up a bit. They also have quite a bit of rules and specific tent vendors you must use but it is a historic home so it's understandable. We did not get much of a sunset unfortunately due to the weather but the view is breathtaking nonetheless and even more beautiful at night under the lights. Rachel was very responsive and professional and very easy top work with.

h menu and advice, and could not have been more pleasant in the whole process. The venue is breath taking on its own, but it takes great people to make the day special, and they are all amazing! The food is absolutely delicious and presented so beautifully. Our guests raved about everything! I could not recommend having your event at this wonderful location more!

and talent. I can only say again how very grateful we are to have had the opportunity to work with such a professional, lovely lady. I feel that we are now friends, and family. This is from my email to Abby Frye of PPHG, truly the best professional I have ever had the great pleasure to work with, she is a wonderful asset. Ellen and Ed's wedding was and is a highlight of all of our dreams. You made it all come true in a stupendous way. More so than we could have envisioned. To write/say Thank You is inadequate, but please know we are deeply thankful to you and to all of the staff at PPHG. Every single element of the wedding was perfect, and that is down to you and your amazing , talented group at PPHG.

ery beginning, Erin has been an incredible sales manager, turned friend. She worked with us as we navigated planning a destination wedding during the pandemic and then when we decided to postpone. Her communication was always timely, thoughtful and thorough. When we finally had our big day this past April, it could not have gone better! The attention to detail Molly and the rest of the PPHG staff had throughout the day was second to none. Our guests left saying this was the best wedding food they have ever had and that the whole experience was so elevated it made them feel like they were living in a movie. It truly is a magical place and the sunset over the water is to die for. I would recco Lowndes Grove 100000000x over!

time. The grounds are meticulously kept and the full access dock and it's views are something no other venue can offer you in the area. My guests had nothing but the highest of praise commenting that they had never been to a more beautiful wedding. Catering (including cake) and service staff exceeded my expectations. I have never had better wedding food and no one ever had to wait in a line for food or beverage. Shout out to Terry who set up my getting ready breakfast and worked the bar. He went above and beyond to make sure I, the bride, as well as my guests had everything we needed and more. Give him a raise! If you go with this venue I would highly recommend hiring Abby Frye as your wedding planner. She is truly the best in the business. Her and her staff will do anything and I mean ANYTHING to make your dream event. For example, when a guest accidentally dropped a oyster shooter in front of me and red sauce completely covered the front of my dress (GASP!) Abby pulled me into a side room immediately and Gabby (her amazing assistant) LICKED IT OFF MY DRESS and got the rest off with a tide pen. It was like nothing happened. You will not find a more committed and knowledgeable staff elsewhere! They made wedding planning fun and non-stressful and I don't know how I would have done it without them. If you want your dream wedding, this is the place!

food, drinks, and service was incredible. PPHG truly helped to make the entire wedding planning experience enjoyable and stress-free. We would highly recommend working with Lowndes Grove and Patrick Property Hospitality Group!

and fun! Anytime I had a questions, they responded quickly. They made our wedding day a dream come true; they handle everything with grace. I would recommend working this company to everyone. Lowndes Grove is beyond beautiful and you can create the wedding of your dreams. I have nothing but amazing things to say about the company and the people I worked with.

set, I quickly set up a tour and soon after secured a date. They were quick to respond and so organized. I always knew they had our event under control. Each person we worked with; Rachel, Becky, and Kailin were all a delight and enhanced our experience. We still talk about our wedding daily, and it somehow exceeded every expectation I had. People say expect things to go wrong on your wedding day, but I didn't hear of one thing that went wrong on ours. They had everything under control, and we left that night knowing it was the best day of our lives. I am so grateful that I found this venue, and had the most amazing wedding planning experience. This venue is everything and more!
