Camelot Meadows is an absolutely stunning venue. The owner is extremely thorough and thoughtful which makes the venue an incredible place to get married. The inside is spacious, immaculately clean, and beautiful. The air conditioning in this place is impressive, especially considering how hot it was at my August wedding. The staff is very helpful and kind. I cannot recommend this place enough.

The Porter Room

North Charleston, SC

Located beside the Noisette Creek at Holy City Brewing, The Porter Room offers a unique venue unlike any other in the Charleston area.

On the other side of the building, sliding glass doors open up to a large patio area that has the option to be tented. This space is fully equipped with an open dance floor, surround sound speakers, a catering kitchen, and a full bar with up to 8 Holy City Craft taps.

So much greenery and nature to enjoy while having a rustic venue! Very down to earth folks, so nice and accommodating to work with. Only docked some points for email communications which were sometimes missed, so when booking I'd say just make direct phone calls or plan to meet with the venue team in person once or twice and you're GOLDEN! My mother was concerned about wines which would be available at venue and they set up a whole wine tasting for her to ensure they provided wines she liked! They are now partnered with artists to provide beautiful local art for your event - however we have a family artist and they allowed us to hang my great-grandfathers art works for the event! It was the most incredible day and this venue was the platform for it all!
