Caterer
The Charleston Rifle Club is a great location for weddings, anniversary parties, or corporate gatherings. From a caterer's perspective, the management team was easy to work with and the venue is very spacious, with a large kitchen work area that made setup and service smooth. The venue's flexibility and amenities contributed greatly to making our special event a success. I would highly recommend the Charleston Rifle Club to any couple or group looking for a beautiful and functional event space in the Charleston area.
Response from vendor•Oct 27, 2025We appreciate your positive review from a caterers viewpoint! The kitchen has a new gas stove/oven, dish washer, ice machine and stainless steel tables.Beautiful View
We loved being able to bring all our own vendors! Many locations you can only use pre-approved vendors. We have wonderful family and friends who helped with our cake, food, flowers and more to help us celebrate our big day! Was so thankful to find a beautiful location that also allowed us to bring in our preferred vendors. We had our ceremony outside overlooking the marsh, happy hour under the pavilion, and our reception in the hall! It was wonderful to have it all at one location for our guests! The large dance floor in the middle of the hall was perfect for all our guests who loved to dance! My favorite pictures from our wedding were on the dock at sunset!
Response from vendor•Oct 27, 2025We are thrilled that your wedding day was so perfect. The Pavilion is the perfect spot for cocktail hour following an outdoor wedding.Best kept secret in charleston
The Charleston Rifle Club was a hidden jewel on the Ashley River for our wedding reception. Their communication style was easy and helpful throughout the planning process. The spacious ballroom was easily converted to our wedding theme, and the fee included a great kitchen for our caterer plus tables and chairs. The band was thrilled with the stage area and our guests loved the large dance floor and full bar. With plenty of free onsite parking and a beautiful view of the marsh and river, this venue provided the best bang for our buck. The staff was absolutely wonderful and made our day perfect.
