Memorable Events In Charleston
Echoing Charleston’s historic charm and architectural grace, The Dewberry has become a sought-after event setting for those who appreciate timeless elegance, historic preservation and artistic collaboration. As with every experience at our Charleston hotel, the venues for meetings and special events are the city’s best in class, acknowledged for both flawless service and unerring decorative style. You’ll feel it the moment your eyes meet the cast brass and crystal palmetto chandelier in the Ballroom or step into our intimate ivy-covered Charleston Walled Garden. This is subtle Charleston glamour at its best.
A modern setting of remarkable warmth and elegance, our Ballroom evokes old Charleston in attitude and aesthetic. A Viennese cast-brass palmetto chandelier and oversized gilded antique mirrors set the mood in this stylish 1,750-square-foot space accommodating up to 150 guests. White Oak parquet floors reminiscent of Versailles, as well as works by Charleston artist Douglas Balentine, specially commissioned for The Dewberry, add to the room’s opulent atmosphere.
Swanston Room
Highlights include:
- Acts as a pre-function space for our ballroom
Comprising 22 gilded panels hand-painted by artist Thomas Swanston, this captivating pre-function space at the entrance to the Ballroom is a shimmering depiction of the sandhill crane migration, lovingly imagined in silver, pewter and 22-karat gold.
Just beyond the Ballroom lies our traditional Charleston Walled Garden, a 2,250-square-foot outdoor space featuring live oaks, historic brick walls draped by English ivy, bluestone walkways, and a raised garden. This intimate setting can accommodate up to 150 guests.
Located on the hotel’s 8th floor, the Rivers Room is a one-of-kind space not to be found anywhere else in Charleston. With indoor and outdoor capabilities, the space boasts sweeping views of the Charleston Harbor and Arthur Ravenel Jr. Bridge to the east and unparalleled views of Marion Square and the steepled skyline of the Holy City to the west. With 15 foot ceilings, this space provides beautiful natural lighting and comes with access of the north outdoor terrace.
