The River House

Perfect for occasions of fewer than 100 guests, the River House offers casual, intimate space and a postcard backdrop with sweeping views of the Ashley River. The private venue is located on the lush grounds of historic Lowndes Grove, the last great waterfront estate of its kind on the Charleston peninsula.

Couples share intimate vows under centuries-old live oaks, capture one-of-a-kind wedding photography in front of the breathtaking Ashley River and host a dinner to remember inside the beautifully restored main house where 1786-era architecture, period furnishings, an expansive piazza and sunlit bluestone, brick and oyster tabby terraces set a delightful tone. 

Enjoy the graceful home's open floor plan with French doors opening onto the brick terrace and manicured lawns ideal for afternoon cocktail and receptions. With 14 acres of live oak groves and unparalleled sunsets, this enchanting Lowcountry setting has captivated guests for four centuries, delivering a relaxed and refined setting.
