Absolutely beautiful venue with the most picturesque Charleston views surrounded by marsh, live oaks, spanish moss, it was jaw dropping as a backdrop to our entire day. Alex made e...
verything run so smooth and we must've asked about 500 questions before the 6 months was over with but he answered them all! I will say the only downside, is that it is truly an a la carte venue besides alcohol, which is included at a cost and at different levels and this includes bartenders. You cannot bring in outside alcohol, you must buy theirs. There are tables, chairs included but only to a certain amount and that does not include set up, you must have at least a day of planner. There were a lot of extras that we added on to make it exactly what we wanted and overall it was very expensive but we loved every minute of our day!

Excellent venue with beautiful marsh views! Our guests absolutely loved the venue. Luckily we had great weather in March, so we were able to fully open the barn doors. Even without...
the patio, we would have had plenty of room to host our 77 guests for a buffet reception and dancing. The bar service was phenomenal and our out of town guests enjoyed getting a taste of the local brewery scene.
The venue is right next door to holy city brewing, but it still feels very private. There is also a new dock on the marsh, which makes for amazing photos and is fun for guests.
