Wedding Weekend Festivities ~ 2019 - 2020

Cannon Green is one of Charleston’s most unique properties, and indeed,

a microcosm of the city itself—capturing its romance, history, preservation,

beauty, charm and cosmopolitan style all in one extraordinary venue. Located

in the Cannonborough - Elliotborough neighborhood, Cannon Green

incorporates a 19th century Charleston Single House façade within our indoor

Garden Room- a refined and airy 75-seat private event space, along with two

adjoining entertainment spaces—a lush and intimate Courtyard and our spacious

historic Trolley Room. The result is an innovative fusion of history, hospitality,

function and charm to create a vibrant space for hosting

your wedding weekend festivities.

Cannon Green embodies all the elements that have made Charleston such a

seductive and enticing destination for centuries—an air of elegant sophistication,

an attitude of warm hospitality, and an atmosphere of welcome. Our professional

wedding and event services team looks forward to sharing that with you.

The Trolley Room The Trolley Room is Cannon Green’s signature event venue. This 3,000 square-foot,

column-free space features the original king trusses, reflects the warehouse’s original

architecture, and evokes an urban-infused charm of times past. The historic and inviting atmo-

sphere coupled with modern features, such as year-round climate control, white oak wood floors,

ambient lighting, a Sonos sound system and established locations for sound stages comprise the

thoughtful touches necessary for today’s seamless events.

The Courtyard The Courtyard adjoins the Trolley Room and includes a tranquil garden with reflecting pools and

rows of statuesque palmettos. Host your ceremony or begin your evening with an alfresco cocktail

hour in the Courtyard. It offers options for food display stations, portable bars, evocative landscape

lighting, candlelit lanterns, and a Sonos sound system. A beautiful clear-top tent can be installed in

the Courtyard for an additional fee.

The Garden Room The Garden Room, centered around the restored, original façade of an 1840’s Charleston single

house, offers authentic historic local flavor combined with tasteful contemporary

design. With 1,500 square-foot versatile floor plan, the Garden Room offers

comfortable elegance and privacy for corporate entertaining, rehearsal dinners, full-day

retreats, luncheons and evening receptions. Events in this unique, full-service venue highlight both

Charleston’s culinary renaissance and timeless aesthetic. The private Garden Room, which includes

bar, tabletop and chairs, is adjacent to the Trolley Room and Courtyard, but rented separately.

Our Venues

Our Cuisine

Cannon Green’s culinary approach embraces the freshness and bounty of each season. This

locally-sourced approach is not only a sustainable and healthy way to prepare food, it keeps our

artisanal kitchen team inspired. Our menus incorporate refined Lowcountry techniques with

local and seasonal ingredients to create memorable, artful dishes. All of Cannon Green’s pastas

and breads are crafted in house, and our produce and seafood come from our partnerships with

local farmers, fishermen and producers, as part of our commitment to the local food movement

and our celebration of all that is seasonal and fresh.
