The Trolley Room is Cannon Green’s signature event venue. This 3,000 square-foot, column-free space features the original king trusses, reflects the warehouse’s original architecture, and evokes an urban-infused charm of times past. The historic and inviting atmosphere coupled with modern features, such as year-round climate control, white oak wood floors, ambient lighting, a Sonos sound system and established locations for sound stages comprise the thoughtful touches necessary for today’s seamless events. The Courtyard adjoins the Trolley Room and includes a tranquil garden with reflecting pools and rows of statuesque palmettos. Host your ceremony or begin your evening with an alfresco cocktail hour in the Courtyard. It offers options for food display stations, portable bars, evocative landscape lighting, candlelit lanterns, and a Sonos sound system. A beautiful clear-top tent can be installed in the Courtyard for an additional fee. The Garden Room, centered around the restored, original façade of an 1840’s Charleston single house, offers authentic historic local flavor combined with tasteful contemporary design. With 1,500 square-foot versatile floor plan, the Garden Room offers comfortable elegance and privacy for corporate entertaining, rehearsal dinners, full-day retreats, luncheons and evening receptions.
