Our Heritage

Since 1855.

Wagner Hall sits on the bank of the Ashley River in Charleston, on grounds with a history that reaches back to 1855. Today it is a place for weddings and celebrations, with the river and the live oaks as the setting.

The Waterfront

Vows, cocktails, and wide river views

Exchange vows on the green, gather by the water, and take in the Ashley River as the light changes. Ceremonies can be set at the outdoor stage beneath the magnolias, with a riverside pavilion close by for shade and gathering.

Which parts of the 14-acre grounds are included with your event is confirmed with you during your tour.

Weddings & Beyond

A Place for Every Kind of Celebration.

Waterfront weddings come first here, but the grounds suit more: milestone birthdays, private dinners, corporate gatherings, and the evenings in between.

We’d Love to Show You Around.

Walk the grounds, see the hall and The Alley, and talk through your date. Tell us a little about your plans and we’ll be in touch.
