Sam & Ryan’s Summer Wedding at The Cedar Room in Charleston, SC
We love that Sam and Ryan chose The Cedar Room Charleston as the backdrop for their wedding day! When it comes to choosing a Charleston wedding venue, there are plenty of beautiful locations. But The Cedar Room? It’s the perfect blank canvas, located downtown!
Sam shared with us that she (like so many brides) fell in love with the historic brick walls, grand arch windows that flood the room with perfect natural light, and a sprawling THREE thousand square foot space to transform! The Cedar Room is overflowing with all that makes Charleston so charming … and an incredible place to get married! (And a dream for a Live Wedding Painter!)
We love that Sam and Ryan had their heart set on having a Charleston Live Wedding Painter! Ben was so honored to have been asked to capture their first dance with a live wedding painting, surrounded by their incredibly styled reception! The details were so bright and happy, it was an absolutely perfect wedding day!
The Details for their Charleston Live Wedding Painting
Sam and Ryan held their ceremony over at the beautiful Second Presbyterian Church. This venue does have an outdoor space that allows for ceremonies, but we love that they chose this special downtown Charleston church for their ceremony! As guests transitioned over to The Cedar Room, they were greeted with cocktails, music, and a live wedding painter painting the incredible reception space!
The architecture of The Cedar Room was so important to Sam. They wanted to the beautiful arched windows to feel prominent in the backdrop. Ben captured the two of them dancing, surrounded by their family and friends. He also highlighted their floral arrangements—golden yellows, blushes, and creams—that were so beautiful and really popped in the space! Their colors were so perfectly summer!
Why we love The Cedar Room Charleston:
The Cedar Room is rich in Charleston history! As a former Cigar Factory, this space was restored and renovated into the incredible downtown Charleston wedding venue that it is today! It’s got an industrial warehouse vibe, but with so much charm and style!
One of the things that makes The Cedar Room truly shine is how it’s designed to be both stunning and practical. This is a space that gets it: 3,000 square feet of space, a charming courtyard … but there’s one detail that we love as much and it’s: THE FOOD! With the convenience of in-house catering from Mercantile & Mash, the food is an experience all to itself! It’s a wedding venue located in downtown Charleston that truly has it all!
