Lowndes Grove

For more than four centuries, this idyllic downtown Charleston waterfront estate has captivated guests with its 14 dramatic acres of live oak groves and serene river views. Lowndes Grove maintains a distinguished standing on the National Register for Historic Places, featuring a relaxed and refined setting steeped in 1786-era architecture and period furnishings. The picturesque waterfront venue delivers boundless indoor and outdoor venue space, including a ceremonial grand lawn with a pristine white mansion backdrop, a formal dining room ideal for intimate dinners, a striking glass-enclosed portico for elaborate receptions and dancing, and a 750-square-foot piazza overlooking the river and oak grove.

The panoramic Lowcountry scene lends to a natural elegant coastal aesthetic and offers unrivaled views extending from the signature 700-foot private dock along the Ashley River. Sunny terraces are made of bluestone, brick and oyster tabby and a private second-floor bridal suite is perfect for prepping and primping. A complimentary hospitality suite welcomes couples and loved ones to a refined retreat in the Main House. The in-house culinary team sources the freshest seasonal ingredients from local producers while a celebrated pastry chef creates cakes and confections that speak to your love story.
