Venue Features

The scene

The Cigar Factory was built in 1881 and served as a textile factory, a Cotton Mill, and then a cigar factory for over 60 years. During the 1930s, the factory was the largest private employer in Charleston with about 1,400 workers generating more than 400,000 cigars daily. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1980, and several parts of the original warehouse structure will be preserved and restored in the redevelopment of the space.

Design

The Cedar Room is an open and airy space, featuring historic wood columns, hardwood floors from the original space and rustic elements of the circa 1881 building. The walls consist mostly of floor to ceiling windows that reveal a view of the architecturally acclaimed Arthur Ravenel Jr. Bridge, the SC Ports Authority and the beautiful Cooper River.

Standout venue features

Outside The Cedar Room, is a 1,500 square foot courtyard featuring additional seating and entertaining space and gardens available for clients to utilize.
