Wish I had More than 5 STARS to give!!!!

Absolutely best choice in venue! The service of the team at the Mt. Pleasant location is phenomenal. Whitney is amazing and gave super recommendations to help us make our wedding day successful. The location of the venue and the reception hall are perfect for any event. This venue made our wedding day a lifetime treasured event!!!

Affordable and has almost all the amenities we wanted

The murals on both sides of the main room are beautiful. It's waterfront and has the Ravenell bridge in the background. Lots of space and a big kitchen for the catering. Whitney has been extremely helpful with everything and we look forward to celebrating our big day here!

This is a wonderful venue for a wedding reception! The place is beautiful inside and out. The staff are friendly and helpful. The venue has tables (round) and chairs, a great kitchen and even a bridal lounge. We used the inside for the dinner and the food stations and the outside covered patio for the bar and appetizers. Our DJ set up outside on the uncovered patio where we had dancing under the stars. The view of the bridge, especially at sunset, is absolutely beautiful.

I could have not asked for a better venue and set of staff. The view was absolutely stunning. I would have not had our wedding ceremony & reception any other way. I would highly recommend this venue to ANYONE getting married in the near future.

The Cooper River Room is such a beautiful space with a brilliant view of the Ravenel Bridge. It was the perfect location for our 70 guest wedding on July 29, 2016! We had plenty of space for multiple food stations, a bar, tables and chairs, and a dance floor. The heat was pretty oppressive for our outdoor ceremony (typical for late summer in Charleston!), but the room was so well air conditioned that we were all able to cool off quickly. Working with Gabrielle and the rest of the staff at the Cooper River Room was an absolute dream--they were so quick to respond to any and all of our questions and even let us see the set ups of other weddings. We highly recommend this venue to any couple looking for a gorgeous waterfront wedding ceremony/reception (even those who are on a tight budget, like we were)!

Beautiful location and great staff! I had to find another venue 2 months prior to my wedding due to my original venue being damaged by flooding. The staff at the Cooper River Room were super friendly and helpful in making my change in location smooth. I highly recommend this venue!

Perfect place for a wedding. The outdoor area is great for dancing and the indoors provides shelter if there is a storm.

Everything about the Cooper River Room was perfect! Lovely bridal suite, gorgeous Lowcountry murals, plenty of space, breathtaking views, and very flexible. As soon as we walked through I knew that this was where I wanted to have our wedding. One of the many perks of this venue is the fact that you can bring in your own caterer; many venues in Charleston require you to use their caterer. We originally were going to have our ceremony at the beach and then the reception at the Cooper River Room. However, Charleston experienced a flood and the beach was out of the question. So, we ended up having both at the Cooper River Room and I am wondering why we didn't do it in the first place! We had to change the ceremony site two days before the wedding and they were very accommodating. We got married right by the marsh and the view was fantastic. We had cocktail hour outside and then dinner inside and guests were able to move freely in and out while still feeling like they were a part of the big picture. We had kids at our wedding and there is plenty of space for them to be kids! The waterfront pier is a short walk away and we were able to get some great photos there as well. Our venue coordinator, Gabrielle, was so delightful and answered all of our questions and worked with us to make our day perfect. All of our guests commented on the beauty of the venue and the convenience of the location and parking. You will not be disappointed if you have your wedding here!

We got married in June 2015. Everyone at the cooper river room was professional, friendly, and beyond helpful. My mom and I were doing everything ourselves as far as planning and set up. They let us come into the room as many times as we liked. We got to peek in at other wedding set ups and see all the different ways the room could be used as well as meet some of their recommended vendors. Closer to the wedding, we were even able to take a table out and set up each of our centerpieces and test out our fire place decor. They were more than accommodating to all of our needs and available whenever we needed to ask a question or get in touch with someone. The day of the wedding was a breeze and we were able to get in there first thing in the morning. After the wedding and takedown, the attendant for that night let my parents go ahead on home while they waited for event hause to come pick up the linens. The view was breath taking and the combination of inside and outside space let all of our guests enjoy the beautiful Charleston night it turned out to be. The pricing is the same throughout the year so we weren't forced into a date we didn't really want just to save money. It came with tables and chairs and rocking chairs which made the pricing extremely competitive in comparison to other venues in the area.

I was very happy with the Cooper River Room. Julie Ann was professional, thoughtful, and helpful from the first time I saw the venue up until my wedding day. The entire venue was clean and there was more than enough parking. One thing to note is that if you are doing your wedding ceremony outside at the location, wear a microphone if you want your videographer to pick up the sound (the bridge noise drowned out our voices in the video). I highly recommend this venue!
