The Gadsden House

We are going to ATTEMPT to put into words the absolutely phenomenal experience my husband and I had working with King Street Hospitality Group. The first and most important piece of advice I can give for any couple planning their wedding, is that you should hire a team with heart, and the team at KSHG is all of that and MORE.

When we hired our wedding planner, the fabulous Cayleigh at the Petal Report, the team at KSHG came highly, highly recommended by her. We fell in love with the venue and the wonderful initial conversation we had with Kathleen and booked our date site unseen. My husband and I unfortunately had to pull the plug on our original April 2020 wedding date a short month prior when the pandemic originally hit, and the level of empathy, flexibility and HEART that we felt from Kathleen and Sofie was honestly that of a close friend. Going through the hurdles, anxiety and stress of moving all of our originally booked vendors not once, but twice, Kathleen took time to personally call me and put my mind at ease. Kathleen and Sofie both sent a handwritten note to my now husband and I to let us know that they were thinking of us on our original wedding date. I will never, ever forget that level of kindness.

Fast forward to our big day - the service, food and experience we had celebrating at the Gadsden House was met with comments from our guests like ‘this is the best wedding I’ve ever been to’ and ‘that is the most delicious wedding food I’ve EVER had’. Sofie & Maddie made everything SUCH a breeze, and their attention to detail to us, my parents and my in-laws was something I’ve never experienced before. Chef went ABOVE and beyond for our tasting and every aspect of our experience with this crew was outstanding. Sofie also went out of her way to pack up individual to-go boxes of ALL of our food at our reception to enjoy after - my goodness.

With postponing to this spring, we also were able to continue with our original plans for our Welcome Party which we chose to host at KSHG property, Vintage Lounge, which has been a favorite spot of ours in Charleston for a few years. The service and overall experience there made our weekend absolutely perfect and the KSHG team made sure of it and treated it like an extension of our wedding reception.

Our wedding day will forever be our FAVORITE day, and the wonderful team at KSHG will make sure of it for you. We are still riding the post-wedding high and wish we could rewind and do it all again. We would be confident that this crew would make sure it was perfect every time. I simply cannot recommend this wonderful venue, hospitality group and team enough, and would be more than happy to connect with any couple with questions. Thank you KSHG! WE LOVE YOU!

Maddie, Paige, and the entire KSHG team were absolutely incredible throughout the whole process. From the initial meeting to their help, coordination, and spirit on the day, we could not have been happier! They answered every question so promptly and with such positivity. When it came to the tasting, they made it one of our favorite aspects of wedding planning and truly thought of every detail. Finally on the day, it was the most incredible service from the staff and Paige always seemed to be perfectly present just when we thought of something while calmly maneuvering the timeline of the day. The Gadsden House was so perfect for our vision. The food… incredible. We came away wishing we could do it again! Thank you to the KSHG team, y’all are the best.

My husband and I celebrated our wedding at the Gadsden House in April. This venue and its team are incredible. From day 1, their communication and execution were top tier, which was important to us having been from out of town! The food at this venue is DELICIOUS. Our guests were blown away and talking about our wedding for weeks following. You will not be disappointed to be married here :)
Special shout out to Leigh who was our main contact at Gadsden. She was so wonderful and really made us feel special. Thank you all!!!!!

We couldn't be happier with the experience we had working with the team at The Gadsden House. They were always one step ahead of everything that needed to be done to ensure my daughter and her finance had a wonderful, memorable wedding day. The venue is the perfect location for a Charleston wedding...a beautiful house, perfect outdoor space that accommodates the ceremony, cocktail hour, reception and dancing and THE most fabulous menu! The Gadsden House team was super responsive and helped us so much during the months of planning for our daughter's wedding. They worked so well with our wedding planner and ensured all of our needs, and our guests needs were met the day of the wedding.
We're so grateful for all the team did for us; we felt as though hosting a fabulous wedding for our daughter and son-in-law was their highest priority!

We are beyond thrilled with our experience at The Gadsden House, and we owe it all to the INCREDIBLE team at KSHG. From start to finish, they made our wedding day truly unforgettable, and we couldn't be more grateful for everything they did.

The venue itself is a stunning blend of Southern charm, with elegant details that made it feel both grand and intimate at the same time. But what truly set our experience apart was the team.

Paige, Allie, Sofie, and the entire team were simply amazing. They anticipated our every need, often before we even knew what we needed. They treated us like family, ensuring we had absolutely nothing to worry about. The thoughtfulness and care they showed throughout the entire process were unparalleled. Whether it was making sure our guests were comfortable or handling the details of the day seamlessly, they executed everything flawlessly. The best part? We didn’t have to think about a single thing—we were able to just enjoy our dream day.

The food was outstanding, and our guests are still raving about it! Every dish was prepared to perfection, and the service was impeccable. From the hors d'oeuvres to the main course, the quality was exceptional, and the presentation was gorgeous.

Just one example of their attention to detail was when Allie brought our hors d'oeuvres all the way out to us during our couples photos in the nearby neighborhood, ensuring we didn’t miss out on the delicious treats despite being away during cocktail hour. Another example was when the team waited to serve my mom her dinner until she returned from the restroom so it would be piping hot—those thoughtful gestures didn’t go unnoticed and made us feel so cared for.

Thanks to the KSHG team, our wedding day was flawless, and we would not change a thing. The combination of the beautiful venue, exceptional food, and, most importantly, the caring and professional team made our day perfect in every way. We cannot recommend The Gadsden House enough.

They made the entire planning process clear, fun, and easy and were incredibly communicative throughout the process, thoughtfully and quickly answering any questions we had.

If you're looking for a venue that offers impeccable service, a stunning setting, and a team that treats you like family, this is the place to be. We will forever cherish the memories they helped us create, and we will always be grateful to the amazing team at The Gadsden House.

Our wedding was everything I had imagined and SO much more because of KSHG! When picking venues, my husband and I headed to Charleston from MD to try and find something so that we could do a destination style wedding. We had looked at Upstairs at Midtown online and that was the one we were most excited about. When we booked the visit, they asked if we wanted to tour their sister site and we figured "why not"? Well, we INSTANTLY and I mean INSTANTLY fell in love with the venue. Everything about it, from the details of the lanterns outside to the greenery fences, to the beautiful vintage style interior decor that is so well kept and just lovely.. we knew that was the venue for us! We went to Charleston on several occasions for our food tasting, final walk through, etc. and working with the team was absolutely wonderful! They were kind, responsive, accommodating, descriptive, helpful, and so much more. Our food tasting was one of my favorite experiences of all time because it felt like we were all just a group of friends hanging out and eating delicious (AND I MEAN DELICIOUS) meals. With that being said, because they knew how far we were they did everything that they could to help accommodate us being so far away. They even offered a virtual tour of both venues if we wished so that we did not have to drive down (although gladly we went because we wouldn't have instantly been overwhelmed by the elegance of entering the Gadsden House). I feel like I could go on and on about the venue AND the team, because it was such a wonderful experience. They made our wedding feel luxurious, and made sure every single detail and design was exactly what we envisioned. I HIGHLY recommend both the vendor AND the venue. They worked SO well with our planner (Peper Events) as well, and it made the process SO much more enjoyable and stress free as they covered so many aspects and details that I did not have to worry about. If you are looking for a reasonably priced, beautiful venue with excellent service then I highly recommend you go with KSHG. Additionally, the food deserves a review ALL on its own, but it was absolutely incredible. I am from Portugal originally, and my family had NEVER had chicken and waffles, and said it sounded horrible. Well we had it as an hor d'oeuvre and they were completely blown away by it! Everything from the hor d'oeuvre, to the delicious melt in your mouth beef, and the bacon ranch fries for a late night snack (10/10 recommend those) were wonderful! I would go back JUST for the food alone if I could!

The Gadsden House is as good as it gets. We immediately fell in love with the venue after our initial tour and with a relatively tight timeline from securing the venue to our wedding day, the King St Hospitality Group team helped us pull off the Big Day seamlessly. The combination of the building itself with it's stately high ceilings and wrap around porches, with the expansive patio, and convenience of groom's quarters and bridal suite made the Gadsden an absolutely perfect place to host such an important event. Outside of the building, all those involved were first class and made what can be a stressful event a breeze. Thank you to the entire KSHG team for your tireless efforts--it was truly the best day of our lives.

I spotted this venue online and instantly fell in love with it. The Gadsden House provided a beautiful backdrop for our Wedding and Reception. It is a dreamy home and courtyard that is only made more spectacular by the vendors they work with who truly brought our dreams to life. The KSHG team was wonderful to work with, especially Regina, they were all friendly, responsive, and incredibly kind!

The team at The Gadsden House is incredible! The planning process was seamless, even as I live across the country. Every part of the planning and event experience was thoughtful and tailored to us. Right from the tasting, the team took note of our likes and dislikes and ensured that we had a menu specialized for us. They were attentive throughout the entire evening and made sure that we had everything we needed to fully relax and enjoy the night.
The staff was incredible and truly provided the elevated experience we were looking for. We even had long-time Charleston residents complimenting the venue! One of the best aspects of The Gadsden House was the food. Truly incredible options. We got so many compliments the night of the wedding on how good the food was.
Overall, I cannot recommend The Gadsden House and the staff at King Street Hospitality enough. They helped ensure our wedding was everything we wanted and more!

This winter, King Street Hospitality hosted our group at the Gadsden House for our annual holiday party. The venue’s interior is spotless, and the garden and grounds are beautifully manicured. The Gadsden House retains all its 1798 charm while offering contemporary food and beverages. The team (Sofie, Maddie, and Sarah) responded immediately to our inquiry and were in constant contact throughout the entire planning process. We deferred to their expertise in food recommendations, rentals, and venue setup. Our group is very satisfied with the Gadsden House and will not hesitate to recommend it to others. We look forward to planning another event at the Gadsden House in the future.
