About American Theater
Opened in 1942 as Charleston's premier movie house, the American Theater's regal Art Deco architecture and timeless Hollywood glamour make this sophisticated event venue worthy of red carpets and dazzling marquees. It is a scene from the movie The Notebook, an iconic spot to take a photo. The venue is charming, with a foyer and stairs leading to a larger theater room with a stage. Converted into an event space, it has a nostalgic charm and is beautifully set up for all sorts of events. The venue was perfect for the occasion, and the service was outstanding. The grand ballroom features handmade milk-glass chandeliers, and there is a quintessential, stadium-seat cinema for private film screenings. The venue was clean and hosted events like short stories paired with cocktails. It is a fun, unique space for any event, big or small. The team is very responsive, helpful, and a dream to work with, making events seamless. Highly recommended for wedding receptions, after parties, corporate events, or family friendly movie nights.
