Sprouthouse is now the official agency of record for The Cedar Room, a private event venue in downtown Charleston, SC, offering authentic charm and a one-of-a-kind setting for all celebratory occasions, including weddings, receptions, seated dinners, corporate gatherings, and more.
Known for its open and airy interiors, the space features an industrial aesthetic with historic wood columns, reclaimed hardwood floors, and other original elements of the Cigar Factory, which was built circa 1881. Rustic brick walls frame floor-to-ceiling windows that reveal an abundance of natural light and quintessential Lowcountry scenes, including the Arthur Ravenel Jr. Bridge and beautiful Cooper River.
With 8,000 square feet of versatile indoor and outdoor event space, The Cedar Room can accommodate up to 550 guests, with an additional 150-180 seated in the courtyard. The space also features a bridal suite, built-in bar, and warming kitchen for convenience. Led by Executive Chef Tim Pettit, the food and beverage services are dedicated to excellence, offering curated selections of hors d'oeuvres, stations, and seated dinner options.
