Lowndes Grove

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)!
