Venues & Event Spaces near Johns Island, SC

“My son went here for a school trip. I was concerned that the is part of a Christian ministry and would force that faith on all people at the camp. We were there 3 days and I did not feel or see any staff push faith upon any guest. All the staff were welcoming, enthusiastic, and knowledgeable. I would recommend this place for anyone looking for an environmental conscious trip.”

“The staff were very friendly, and the butlers provided outstanding service. The room was relatively spacious, as far as Charleston hotels go, and it was quite modern. One of the best hotels I've stayed at in Charleston. Check it out!”

“Lovely tour and worth the visit. Ellen The tour guide was knowledgeable, friendly and kept us all entertained throughout the tour. It lasts about 45 minutes.

The gift shop has lots to choose from and the factory tour is an interesting process to see. Advanced tickets for trolley tour highly recommended !”

“Been here so many times for so many different concerts and events. Seatings may be a little cramped, but they do accommodate for handicapped and disabled people. This is a cozy little place, friendly staff, parking maybe a little challenging, but overall a very pleasant place to visit.”

“Everyone from beginning to end was wonderful. Thank you Rachel for explaining the venue and helping me envision the welcome dinner event. Thank you Olivia for answering all my questions about the event space and providing menu suggestions, and also all you did on the day of the event to make sure everything was set up and all went smoothly. We got so many compliments on the food and the venue!”

“Current show, a Broadway revival of 39 Steps is a don’t miss. Hilarious, engaging and nothing short of awe inspiring in what these character actors seamlessly pull off in two hour roller coaster of a ride. Shout out to the director!”

“Old Wide Awake was the perfect backdrop and partner for our wedding. Having Margaret as our fearless wedding planner was an added bonus. She was so knowledgeable about the property, and knew how to make every last detail work: from timeline to reception layout, getting ready to guest arrivals, all the way to our departure. All of the staff at OWA were so friendly and easy to work with, and as one of the first weddings under new ownership, it was absolutely seamless. We were so honored to be under their care, and they truly gave us one of the best and most memorable days of our lives. I hope one day we get invited to another OWA wedding just so we get to experience the magic again!”

“The William Aiken House was the perfect venue for our daughter’s wedding. The historic home and stunning grounds created a truly breathtaking setting, and the ability to use both indoor and outdoor spaces was ideal. Although we had our own planner, the planning staff at WAH was exceptionally communicative and professional.

And then there is the food and service—simply out of this world. I have attended many weddings over the years, and I can honestly say I have never experienced better food at a wedding. You typically attend weddings expecting the dinner to be “just okay.” Not here. Every single bite was exceptional, beautifully presented, and absolutely delicious. The service was equally remarkable—professional, gracious, attentive, and flawless from start to finish.

The William Aiken House exceeded every expectation we had and created an unforgettable experience not just for our daughter and son-in-law, but for every guest in attendance.”

“This is such a great place for kids! Traveling from out of town, it was a great way to be active during the rainy weather. They also cater to adults, offering drink options for purchase and a comfortable atmosphere for everyone to unwind and have a good time. My 1 year old loved it, we will definitely revisit when we come back to town!”

“Our introduction to Good Food Catering (GFC) began with Krista Kanapaux, who truly embodied going above and beyond to make my wedding day perfect. She set up a fantastic tasting appointment and then truly exceeded all expectations when she met me at my venue, discovered I did not have a wedding planner, and then essentially took on that role to ensure my day was perfect. She asked all the right questions to things I hadn't even considered and volunteered her help day-of to make sure everything would run smoothly. She is so kind, dedicated, and client-focused. I am so lucky I had the privilege of working with her.

Of course, our wedding guests are STILL talking about the Mac & cheese with short ribs that we had and our delicious floating appetizers. The food was a total hit. We did tasting plates (which are very generously portioned) and hors d'oeuvres. The arancini balls in truffle vodka sauce were a huge hit as well. We are so pleased.

Day-of, I cannot rave about the staff enough. Talk about a team of people who never sat down once. I would like to list some individuals by name because that's how impressive they were. Alexa showed up day-of and set up all my chairs and tables with the linens and coordinated with other vendors. Deonte led his team day-of and did a phenomenal job. He was so polite, courteous, and hard-working. Then, there was the lovely Elizabeth, who I saw multiple times on her hands and knees cleaning food off the ground, and also taking super special memorable photos and sharing them with me because the photographer wasn't around and she thought we would like the photos. She was right. She caught some truly special moments that I am so appreciative of.

The staff had to deal with some intense wind and rain in the middle of the reception and worked so quickly and diligently to run all the outdoor decor and tables inside and set up inside. They were polite and worked fast. I don't think I ever saw dirty plates or dishes anywhere. They were always smiling. I am so impressed and appreciative.

I would recommend Good Food Catering again and again and I will certainly use them in the future.”

“An upscale hotel in the heart of Charleston. Lots of eateries, shopping, and local artisan jems within walking distance. The city offers free transportation, and due to the congestion at times, I would recommend taking advantage of it. The hotel has some historical architecture, but the rooms are very modern. The rooms offer blackout curtains, a separate water closet, complete with bidet! Oh, and did I mention we had our own private balcony overlooking the courtyard. The courtyard is inviting and a great place for a late evening beverage. I jane read reviews with complaints about the required valet parking, but as busy as it is, I would say it is worth the money.”

“For families staying in the nearby villas, The Sandcastle is a beautiful area for portrait sessions such as families, high-school seniors, engagement photos on Kiawah Island. There are tons of great backdrops offering a wide variety of images. The beach and access points are also really picturesque. As a full-time professional photographer, I highly recommend this area!”

“Pure vibes and lots of fun ! Definitely coming back here next year . Wonderful venue which used to be called magnolia hall if anyone is wondering. It’s a great rental space and ample free parking on premises . I would suggest turning on the approximate street instead of on the main road as it bottle necks”

“I couldn't be happier that we chose this hotel for our first visit to Charleston. Our room was perfect and the hotel was quiet. I love that The Rise Coffee Bar is attached. The daily breakfast basket was a treat even when we went out for breakfast. Having some fruit or a breakfast pastry to start the day off was great. I asked for extra popcorn and Coca-Cola, and both were expeditiously provided. We requested rides to the aquarium and African American Museum on different days, and Matthew, the guest experience manager, was gracious in driving us to our destinations at the exact times we were hoping for. The location of the hotel - right off King Street - was so perfect. We averaged about 12k steps per day exploring the shops, historic landmarks, museums and restaurants. The bathtub in our room was perfectly slanted. I would love to come back to this hotel!”

“My wife and I came down for the weekend for her birthday, the staff went above and beyond to make it as special as possible. Shay at valet was helpful and whoever ordered the chocolate covered strawberry’s for us deserves a raise!”

“Beautiful location & breathtaking views! Nice saltwater pool, decent on site restaurant & a cool beachside tiki bar. Staff is very friendly& professional.
They promptly worked together to address a maintenance need in our room within a few minutes of our call to them.
This hotel offers a 700/night view for half the price so I was pleasantly surprised with the overall condition & staff’s friendliness & professionalism, we would definitely go back again❤️?”

“I just wish that there had been enough parking at the hotel. I had to park in the parking garage across the street. Thank goodness it doesn't cost anything if you take your parking ticket and get it validated at the front desk.”
