The Scene:

Located in the heart of Downtown Charleston, full of southern charm + rich history, The Gadsden House is the perfect venue for wedding ceremonies + receptions, rehearsal dinners, welcome parties, social gatherings + corporate events.

The home served the Gadsden family for generations before becoming one of the top historic properties to preserve in Charleston. In 2015, the house + grounds were reimagined + underwent massive restoration, transforming the site into one of the city’s most sought after private event spaces.
