We had an exceptional experience working with PPHG for our November 2020 wedding at Lowndes Grove. First of all, the location is gorgeous both inside and outside. We were more or less sold as soon as we drove in during our initial visit. Beautiful outdoor space on the Ashley River sets a fantastic backdrop for both ceremony and reception and the house provides lots of space for getting ready plus creates options / flexibility for a cocktail hour or even ceremony. It poured on the day of our wedding and we were able to do our ceremony on the large porch upstairs overlooking the whole property.

Second, PPHG’s in-house food and beverage capabilities are excellent. We heard from many of our guests, and we certainly agreed ourselves, that it was the best food they had ever had at a wedding. Since all food – from hors d’oeuvres to dessert – is done in-house by PPHG, you work directly with them to do a comprehensive tasting (which is a lot of fun) and build a menu from tons of delicious, local-inspired and seasonal options. They also do an excellent job of customizing / catering to any special needs / requests – bride in our case had a gluten allergy and PPHG made special servings of nearly every single item specifically for her. We even did a fully gluten free wedding cake, which, again, was the best wedding cake we have ever had and received numerous compliments from guests. Bride and groom definitely get taken care of the whole time.

Perhaps more important than all the above, however, is that everybody from PPHG we interacted with, during the planning phase and at the wedding itself, was wonderful. We originally were supposed to get married at Lowndes Grove in April but had to postpone due to COVID. We interacted primarily with Abigail Roderick during the planning / re-scheduling phase, and she was incredibly helpful, understanding, and accommodating throughout and made the whole process as stress-free and smooth as possible given the circumstances. She (and all other staff we worked with) was always responsive and had a high degree of coordination with our wedding planner, which made things easy on us.

Ultimately our wedding, from planning to the day itself, was executed with very high attention to detail and a focus on keeping everybody safe during COVID without taking anything away from the special day. We can’t thank Abigail and the PPHG staff enough and would highly recommend working with them (and loved Lowndes Grove in particular)!

My husband and I got married at The River House on 9/28/23. We cannot say enough great things about the way the team at PPHG handled our event and all of the communication leading up to the big day. We had a destination wedding and the team was more than happy to answer any and all of my many questions.
I cannot rave enough about the event staff the day of the wedding though. Taylor made sure every single detail was perfect, and her staff that worked our wedding couldn't have been nicer.
Not only did this venue execute all of our visions perfectly, but they made sure to make us feel like the most special wedding ever.

The River House at Lowndes Grove could not have been more perfect for our small wedding. The setting is so naturally beautiful. The PPHG team is welcoming, informative, patient, and kind. Rachel and Erin are lovely to work with—quick to respond with answers and suggestions.
The mini tomato pies and ice cream sandwiches were my favorite menu items (Erin made sure to pack up leftover ones for me which was very much appreciated!), but it was all delicious. The menu tasting day was probably my favorite portion of the planning process! A month later, our guests continue to rave about the halibut and the short rib.
I have always loved this property and was thrilled to be able to share it with our families and friends on such a special day.
Everything was perfect and I highly recommend PPHG.
