The Cedar Room in the Cigar Factory
Holds ceremonies and receptions
I’m completely obsessed with this venue and the team at The Cedar Room! Our wedding day was absolutely perfect - 10000/10. It was a dream working with Amanda and her team at the Cedar Room from the moment we booked with them until the final moments of our wedding. Amanda was extremely responsive, professional, friendly and helpful
during the planning period. Her team executed meal service and other tasks flawlessly on the wedding day. My family and friends couldn’t get over how gorgeous the patio and reception room were! Amanda and the Cedar Room team allowed us to have the perfect wedding!

The Cedar Room was such a beautiful backdrop for our wedding. The food was amazing and our day of coordinator was so wonderful. We loved the lightening as the night went on and the location near downtown is wonderful!

The Cedar Room is an open and naturally lit event venue located within the historic Cigar Factory. The 8,000-square-foot space blends original brick and wood elements with large windows opening to views of the Cooper River and Arthur Ravenel Jr. Bridge. From reception-style events for up to 500 guests to banquet seating for up to 300 guests, the versatility of the venue is unparalleled. The Cedar Room offers an elevated catering menu from Mercantile and Mash, the exclusive caterer. With an in-house executive chef and pastry team, the staff is committed to supporting local, organic and sustainable food vendors which is reflected in the fresh, seasonal, high-quality dishes. On-site parking is available after 5 p.m.

Absolutely perfect experience working with The Cedar Room for our wedding. They have been extremely responsive and professional about all of our details and wants for the wedding. ...
The tasting was nothing short of amazing, which directly reflected into the food on the wedding day. We did a plated dinner and I've had MULTIPLE people tell me that the food was incredible and tasted like fine dining restaurant quality - I couldnt agree more! The bar and wait staff were extremely friendly made the day go perfectly. Thank you to the Cedar Room - I highly recommend this venue for a wedding!!

ing menu touches with Samantha, who was endlessly patient and accommodating, I can't say enough kind things about this venue! They truly were the most flexible and easygoing team, yet so organized, gracious, and on top of everything. They took food allergy concerns seriously, going out of their way to speak with guests over the phone and plan a safe menu for them. And the food? Amazing! (The desserts especially!) As for the venue itself, The Cedar Room was perfect for our big day. We fit two bars, a band, a dance floor, and 160 guests for a seated plated dinner and it never felt crowded (or too big). I would recommend this venue for anyone accommodating a crowd and looking to eat, dance, and party the night away at their wedding!

the venue so they could use it for their future wedding just based off of our photos that were posted. On top of the space being beautiful, the staff in all departments was amazing.

Overall this is a 5/5 venue and we would highly recommend!! Thank you Jessie, Samantha and the rest of the Cedar Room staff!

d modern feel is still very warm and inviting. We loved that we had options in terms of having the ceremony and/or cocktail hour inside or outside in the courtyard. The day of our wedding there was wild wind and rain but we never had to stress about having not having a backup plan. The Cedar Room team is beyond sweet to work with. They were extremely professional and communicative and made us feel so loved throughout the entire process. As for the food, it was the absolute best! Our guests all told us it was some of the best food they had ever had. We had several different stations which allowed our guests to have many different options. Wish we could get married all over again just to eat our wedding food. The Cedar Room will always hold a special place in our hearts!

We could not have been happier with experience we had with The Cedar Room for our wedding ceremony & reception venue. Renee was amazing to work with and we had such a great time at...
our tasting. Due to Covid, we ended up having about half the amount of guests that we originally planned on (around 85 came) and it ended up being perfect. There was plenty of room to space out the tables but the room didn’t feel bare at all. We had the ceremony on one side and the reception tables set up on the other side of the drapes and used the courtyard for cocktail hour.
Everyone commented on how amazing all of the food was which was super important to me!
If you are considering choosing The Cedar Room for hour wedding, DO IT!!!! We had the most amazing wedding day.

vid we had anticipated having about 200 guests, but ended up having about 130. I was so glad that we still had so much space though because it allowed guests who wanted to stay distant from all other guests the ability to while still attending our wedding. The catering service is fantastic and the staff are very helpful!

osed brick, big windows, and metal touches space that was able to accommodate every aspect of our wedding. We were able to have both our ceremony and reception in the large space without making it feel overcrowded. All the food comes up from the amazing restaurant below, Mercantile & Mash, including cake, drinks and staff. Speaking of staff, Renee and Graham were absolutely lovely to work with. Helping us with decisions we didn't have experience with and executing our every request. Compliments from our guests came in throughout the night and are still coming. Everyone was blown away. Whether, just one or both, or inside or outside, please take a moment to look at The Cedar Room. You too will see it all click!
