Alhambra Hall
A Historic Waterfront Gem in Mount Pleasant, SC
Experience Southern grandeur at Alhambra Hall, where nearly two centuries of Charleston history converge with harbor views and gentle sea breezes. This storied venue, transformed from a 19th-century schoolhouse to a refined celebration space, captures Lowcountry elegance with its wraparound porches and vaulted ceilings. The 2005 renovation preserved its historic charm while introducing modern luxuries throughout its 3,280-square-foot interior.
The hall's expansive windows frame Charleston Harbor vistas, while crystal chandeliers cast warm light across hardwood floors. Outside, mature oaks frame a verdant lawn perfect for ceremonies, and a charming gazebo provides an intimate setting for vows. Three covered porches invite guests to enjoy harbor breezes and marsh views, creating a seamless blend of indoor refinement and outdoor beauty. Alhambra Hall honors its rich past - from plantation classroom to Civil War hospital - while offering couples an elevated setting where Charleston's maritime splendor meets timeless sophistication.
The Location
Setting
