Our outdoor ceremony area accommodates up to 300 guests, offering spectacular views of the marsh and river. The rental includes 300 white, padded folding chairs for use in either of the ceremony spaces. Whether your wedding is in winter, spring, summer, or fall, Ashley River Hall ensures you and your guests are comfortable and well cared for.

Cocktail Hour

Ashley River Hall offers two distinct spaces for a cocktail hour.

Indoor lounge: Soaring 30-foot cedar ceilings, solid wood trusses, an atrium-style glass wall with water and marsh views, and a fully equipped 15-foot bar. This area comfortably hosts 15 high-top cocktail tables. 

Outdoor area: A custom covered gazebo with post-and-beam construction and a metal roof, featuring a full-service bar and an adjacent patio for cocktail and sit-down tables. Another post-and-beam “Sofa Lounge” gazebo provides the perfect spot for a cigar and bourbon tasting or relaxing on outdoor sofas. Two fire pits, accompanied by Adirondack chairs, line the marsh front, adding warmth and ambiance.

All outdoor spaces are strung with elegant café lighting. Rental includes 20 high-top cocktail tables and ten 48” round tables.

Reception/Dining

The reception/dining area features 12-foot tongue-and-groove “ship lap” ceilings, complemented by custom chandeliers and wall sconces. Sixteen floor-to-ceiling windows along the marsh-front wall bring breathtaking views into the dining space.

Detailed wainscoting, trim, and crown molding in a neutral palette provide the perfect backdrop for décor and floral arrangements. Rental includes thirty 60” round banquet tables and 300 Gold Chiavari chairs. 

Movable curtains and draping walls allow the space to feel intimate for smaller groups, while still accommodating up to 300 guests for larger celebrations.
