Historic Rice Mill
Historic Waterfront Prestige
The Historic Rice Mill is loved for its classic design features including exposed brick, wide plank wood floors, large double windows and pressed tin ceilings, along with covered and uncovered outdoor patios facing the marina and the tranquil Ashley River.
Charleston’s spectacular waterfront venue on the peninsula offers ground floor event space with a gorgeous mahogany and marble bar area perfect for elegant, natural receptions and dinners. DJs and live bands have plenty of space to set up and entertain while guests dance the night away. The Rice Mill’s exclusive caterer Good Food Catering ensures full-service hospitality and custom menu planning to create culinary experiences you'll cherish.
Ceremonies span sunlit rotunda and waterfront terrace celebrations to traditional indoor gatherings backed by brick facades and classic architecture. A personal event planner works with couples on everything from menu design to day-of event execution.

Things To Do
Charleston is steeped in rich Southern history and culture, dappled with lovingly preserved architecture, a church-spired skyline and lush legendary gardens.
The historic port city is a foodie haven with award-winning chefs serving fresh-caught seafood and delectable Lowcountry comfort dishes. Civil War sites and iconic plantations, Fort Sumter boat tours and horse-drawn carriage rides clacking down cobblestone streets offer a taste of the past while mile after mile of soft white-sand coastline delivers five beautiful beach enclaves, yachting, fishing and acclaimed golf courses. A walk down King Street unveils locally owned and high-end boutiques and the Saturday morning Marion Square farmers market is the place for local produce and artisan crafts.
