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 Federal style Charleston manor was originally built in 1798 by Revolutionary War hero Christopher Gadsden who presented his son with the property as a wedding gift. 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.

Whether it’s a ceremony in the courtyards, cocktail party on the piazzas or seated reception throughout the parlor rooms, The Gadsden House offers an unparalleled backdrop to host all of life’s many celebrations!
