A beautiful wedding venue, trustworthy hospitality
I had a beautiful September wedding at the Rice Mill. I cannot thank Tristan and the team at Holy City Hospitality enough for the venue and services for my wedding. I was impressed with all of the time and effort Tristan (day of coordinator) invested in helping us coordinate every moment of the event and coordinate with the vendors. This was particularly helpful because everyone at the wedding (including myself) were not local to the area. Tristan and the team provided us recommendations and assistance throughout the entire wedding planning process.
Our rehearsal dinner was held at Virginia on Kings (another restaurant part of the Holy City Hospitality Group), the food was great (no one left hungry). It was helpful and efficient planning both events with the same Hospitality Team.
The venue was beautiful and a perfect size for our wedding of approx. 80 people. The wedding ceremony and reception was executed exactly as planned. The food and drinks were impressive and tasty. As a Type A bride, it felt great being able to rely on a coordinator and team I trusted to make my day perfect. I would highly recommend others to choose the Historic Rice Mill for a beautiful, memorable wedding.I had a beautiful September wedding at the Rice Mill.

Beautiful Venue, Amazing Food
I cannot say enough amazing things about Kate and the Rice Mill. Kate was available at anytime leading up to wedding and was there to make the process as stress free as possible. She allowed us to be honest during our tasting without feeling guilty- which made for the best food that our guests STILL talk about. The Rice Mill offers Good Food Catering as their vender and WOW. The apps, dinner stations, desserts were outstanding and the staff were extremely professional. However, there were some negatives- mainly with the bar staff. We had 2 bartenders for around 130 guests and it was one of the bartender's first night ever bartending. They ran out of cold beer and glasses for drinks with 2 hours left. We had a bourbon bar outside that was only open for an hour. They didn't prep the bar at all with cups or ice and the groom's father had to bartend it for the first 20 minutes. BUT with that being said, we wouldn't have chosen a different venue or catering company!I cannot say enough amazing things about Kate and the Rice Mill.

Best Night Ever
I cannot express in words how thankful we are for finding Historic Rice Mill and having our wedding there. The day turned out to be absolutely perfect and we were able to have our wedding outside under the beautiful trees and brick background, with the water-front side set up perfectly for photos. We hired Kate as our day of coordinator and I cannot compliment her enough. She was such a pleasure to work with and made our day go completely seamless! I walked into the building with everything set up and was completely awestruck at how it all turned out. Everyone is still raving about how perfect and fun everything was and we completely agree. Highly recommend!!!I cannot express in words how thankful we are for finding Historic Rice Mill and having our wedding there.

Perfect! 🙌🏼 You MUST choose HRM!
We’re eternally grateful for not only the work that Kate did but especially for the way that she and the team there did it. Her communication with us and willingness to do whatever she could to eliminate as much stress as possible was amazing. The venue and Good Food Catering were everything that we had hoped and prayed for in the planning process. We would highly recommend anyone considering a Charleston wedding choose the Historic Rice Mill, GFC, and Kate!We’re eternally grateful for not only the work that Kate did but especially for the way that she and the team there did it.

Perfect Wedding Experience!
When we were searching for a venue for our wedding and we came across Historic Rice Mill, it was exactly what we had envisioned. My husband and I planned to have our wedding in Charleston since it is our favorite place. The Rice Mill gives you all the Charleston feels. On the water, exposed brick, etc. and GREAT FOOD! We hired Tristan as our day of coordinator and she was amazing. She knows the space so well and offered so many great suggestions. She responded to questions I had quickly. When it came to our wedding day she made it go so perfectly! I would not have changed a thing and she made my vision come true. If anything went wrong, we had no idea about it . The food was absolutely amazing. We had so many foodie guests and literally everyone raved about the menu. Everyone we dealt with who was apart of Historic Rice Mill crew was great. I highly recommend this beautiful venue and Tristan for you special occasion!When we were searching for a venue for our wedding and we came across Historic Rice Mill, it was exactly what we had envisioned.

Our Dream Wedding Venue!
The Historic Rice Mill was absolutely our dream wedding venue! We used Tristan as our Day-Of coordinator and she made the entire process go so smoothly. From the beginning, she was in contact to help us plan our meals and floor plan and to answer any questions that came up. When I walked in on my wedding day, it felt like walking into my Pinterest board! Everything was exactly as I imagined. All the guests could not stop talking about how beautiful the views were and how good the food was. The bar makes for such a great dance floor setting. Throughout the night, Tristan and the staff were so accommodating and flexible to make sure everything went as planned. I wish we could get married there all over again!The Historic Rice Mill was absolutely our dream wedding venue!

Couldn't ask for anything better
Tristan & Rice Mill:
I would definitely recommend this the HRM (and Tristan!) if you're looking for a waterfront venue, there is so much charm in every room and there are incredible harbor views on the patio and through all the windows.
The food was incredible, we couldn’t have asked for anything better. Everyone was raving about it the next day.
We hired Tristan to serve as our day-of coordinator and she absolutely CRUSHED it. She quickly responded to all of our questions and requests, she helped us with vendor recommendations and just general recommendations about the timeline for the wedding day. She was able to make the day go off without a hitch completely stress free for us, if there was a problem, we never knew about it. She did a fabulous job setting up the items that we brought for decorations and made she that we were on track and taken care of throughout the day.
Thank you to Tristan and to everyone who made our day incredible. We highly recommend the Rice Mill as amazing wedding venue.Tristan & Rice Mill:

Gorgeous location for wedding reception
We had our wedding reception at Rice Mill in July 2019. We worked with Jenna & Eve as the wedding coordinators - it was definitely worth the extra money for the day-of coordinator because they saved my sanity! Both were extremely easy to work with and they responded quickly to my texts/emails/phone calls to answer all of my questions. The venue itself is GORGEOUS and quintessential Charleston. Most of our guests were out of town so they loved getting the Charleston experience. The food was incredible and the whole staff was extremely polite. The bartenders were fast so there was never a long line at the bar.We had our wedding reception at Rice Mill in July 2019.

great venue!
the Rice Mill was the perfect venue for us because it was downtown AND on the water, which were two things that were important to us. We also loved the historic feel of the building and it fit our vision for a more dramatic, moody color palette. The team at the Rice Mill was excellent. They responded quickly to emails (often within just a few hours) and always went out of their way to make sure we were taken care of. They were flexible with what food options we could put on the buffet, which we really appreciated, and the food was a huge hit! They also allowed us to choose local beers from Charleston to serve instead of the usual domestic options, which made it more personal. they accommodated my request to have all my guests in the main room for dinner, rather than spread out, even though it meant being creative with where the buffet would go. The night of the event, multiple guests came up to me with compliments for the bartenders and said how nice the staff was. Overall, we were very pleased and had a beautiful wedding. Would recommend this venue for sure!the Rice Mill was the perfect venue for us because it was downtown AND on the water, which were two things that were important to us.

Best Venue
The Rice Mill is a stunning venue that genuinely captures Charleston's beauty. We couldn't have asked for a better venue. Our guests gave us many compliments. The staff and our main coordinator at the venue, Eve, were incredible from beginning to end. Good Food Catering was delicious. There were many "foodies" at our wedding, so it was a tough crowd to please. Good Food Catering surpassed our already high expectations. Anytime our wedding is brought up, people still rave about the venue and the food. You can't go wrong with this venue!The Rice Mill is a stunning venue that genuinely captures Charleston's beauty.

Stunning Waterfront Views with Southern Charm
We went to visit the HRM on a scouting trip to Charleston for our destination wedding. With an off season wedding, it was by far the most affordable venue but wasn't my favorite online as it was difficult to get my head around their layout. As soon as we got there and we walked in to see the harbor through EVERY window in the venue, we fell in love. After we met with Eve and toured it, we were sold. We hired Eve to serve as our day-of coordinator and she absolutely KILLED it. I have a big family that can need a lot of direction and she did it effortlessly. She responded to all of my questions promptly and helped us manage our budget so we could spend in areas that were most important to us and save in other spots. Eve showed up with our favorite drinks and apps as soon as the ceremony ended- she put our needs first all day, which is exactly what you want on your special day. The Southern hospitality was REAL here! All of our pictures off of the docks and in front of the building were beautiful. You do need a professional day of coordinator to book here. I loved that they let us use actual candles (with covers) through out. I would advise using all of their recommendations for vendors- they really know what they're doing! I did deviate to work with some vendors I liked and they did a great job communicating with them. We got into town a few days early and were able to drop off our decorations early (we didn't have many, we mostly did flowers). We took advantage of their Friday/Sunday discount and the off season discounts in July that some venues offer. We did the ceremony outside at 7 pm- it was hot but not unbearable and there was nice breeze off the water. The AC was super helpful inside for the rest of the party! I would definitely recommend this venue (and Eve!) if you're looking for a beautiful waterfront venue that has all the charm and hospitality you would want from a southern venue.We went to visit the HRM on a scouting trip to Charleston for our destination wedding.

Absolutely Stunning Venue
Even with a 5 year engagement, we knew from the start we wanted to get married at the Historic Rice Mill. The venue alone is stunning with its ornate ceilings and brick walls. The view takes it over the top. It's truly stunning. My coordinator, Eve, was FANTASTIC!!! Everyone kept saying how amazing she was. She took care of us and made sure everything was on track and going smoothly. The food was also amazing. People are still telling us how much they loved the food. I can't say enough good things about the Historic Rice Mill. It was the perfect spot for our wedding and we're so glad we chose it!Even with a 5 year engagement, we knew from the start we wanted to get married at the Historic Rice Mill.

My dream wedding venue
A couple of years before getting engaged, my fiancé and I had browsed some Charleston venues to see what we were working with. The Rice Mill had everything we both wanted, an indoor ceremony space for him - which was crazy how few venues here have an indoor space available for ceremonies, as well as beautiful and private outdoor spaces for me. After getting engaged and we started looking at places with pricing it made me so happy that we were able to swing booking the rice mill. We went with a Sunday wedding as it was much more affordable than a Saturday, and we booked the Sunday before Memorial Day since most people are off the next day. We used Jenna, the in-house coordinator and she was phenomenal. At the rice mill you also have to use their in-house catering service, but the food was exceptional and restaurant quality. The day of our wedding was seriously my dream. The building is so beautiful, all of the staff was pleasant and professional. Several people came up to us that night and said it was the best wedding they’d ever been to (we did have open bar so their opinions could have been influenced by that but hey still!!). I wouldn’t change a thing about that day. Not to mention South Carolina had record breaking heat that weekend, so we were sooooooo happy we had a space with AC!!A couple of years before getting engaged, my fiancé and I had browsed some Charleston venues to see what we were working with.

Beautiful!
I loved pretty much everything about the Rice Mill. There are gorgeous views outside of the water which is particularly pretty for a sunset ceremony. The inside is full of historic charm and not a lot of extra decor is needed. They work with a wonderful caterer and have a lot of thing provided in house, so it really is a great deal! Jenna was great to work with!I loved pretty much everything about the Rice Mill. There are gorgeous views outside of the water which is particularly pretty for a sunset ceremony.

We are so happy we chose the Historic Rice Mill as our venue! We were specifically looking for a place with outdoor space with historic charm (ideally downtown) and the Rice Mill filled all of those categories. We only had our reception here and we hired Eve as our event coordinator; she handled our menu, all of our rentals, and of course, day-of management. It was nice to work with her since she knew the event space extremely well and could direct us regarding different arrangements, event flow, etc. Our event had full seating for 130 people and food was served at stations. The menu is selected a-la-carte, and we initially had trouble figuring out what would be included in the set-price, but Eve worked us through it and explained that we should pick what we wanted, and then we could adjust based on our budget. As a local bride, Eve let me stop by during set-up for other weddings so that I could see different arrangements which was really helpful for decor ideas. The reception ran perfectly and it absolutely confirmed our choice to have Eve coordinate - there were no issues and she took care of us the entire night! I especially appreciated that she made sure that we ate by getting us dishes from each station! Speaking of food, it was delicious! Prior to the tasting I was worried that the portions wouldn't be large enough but I was very wrong, there was plenty of food and it was amazing - I highly recommend the mac n cheese station and the make-your-own ice cream sandwiches! Crowd favorites! Wish we could do it again!We are so happy we chose the Historic Rice Mill as our venue!

It was nice to work with her since she knew the event space extremely well and could direct us regarding different arrangements, event flow, etc. Our event had full seating for 130 people and food was served at stations. The menu is selected a-la-carte, and we initially had trouble figuring out what would be included in the set-price, but Eve worked us through it and explained that we should pick what we wanted, and then we could adjust based on our budget. As a local bride, Eve let me stop by during set-up for other weddings so that I could see different arrangements which was really helpful for decor ideas. The reception ran perfectly and it absolutely confirmed our choice to have Eve coordinate - there were no issues and she took care of us the entire night! I especially appreciated that she made sure that we ate by getting us dishes from each station! Speaking of food, it was delicious! Prior to the tasting I was worried that the portions wouldn't be large enough but I was very wrong, there was plenty of food and it was amazing - I highly recommend the mac n cheese station and the make-your-own ice cream sandwiches! Crowd favorites! Wish we could do it again! -

We worked with Jenna from the Good Food Catering company when using the historic rice mill as our wedding venue. She was absolutely wonderful and did a great job as a day of coordinator. I would highly recommend Jenna and the historic rice mill for future weddings. She was very accommodating for all of our requests and ensured the wedding ran smoothly and on time. The staff at the historic rice mill also did a great job. The setup was perfect and completed in a timely manner. My wedding was perfect, thank to the historic rice mill venue and Jenna Tito :)We worked with Jenna from the Good Food Catering company when using the historic rice mill as our wedding venue.

The Historic Rice Mill, Good Food Catering, and our INCREDIBLE day-of coordinator Eve were all perfection from start to finish. The venue is gorgeous, the food delicious, and the service exemplary. We were a bit clueless walking into our wedding planning and Eve was patient, communicative, and accommodating throughout the process. It's a bit of an undersell to call Eve our "day-of coordinator" because she was active and helpful from the day we called about viewing the venue all the way to after the wedding. Her creativity, warmth, and solution-focused attitude helped us create the perfect wedding day and to feel supported throughout the process. This venue is beautiful and incredibly charming - you won't have to do much to it. And the food is to die for. We did buffet and had 100 guests...there was more than enough space for everyone to sit. We embraced the low country cuisine and our guests were in awe of how tasty it all was. All in all, our wedding was such a wonderful experience. Our guests raved about it from start to finish and we were able to enjoy it ourselves. Eve, the Rice Mill, and Good Food Catering made it easy to create a personalized wedding day that left everyone feeling that they had experienced something special. I can't stay enough about how highly we recommend them!The Historic Rice Mill, Good Food Catering, and our INCREDIBLE day-of coordinator Eve were all perfection from start to finish.

Eve and the staff at Good food Catering helped to make our wedding not only perfect for my husband and I, but an event our guests will remember. As if the building and location weren't fantastic enough, the food is to die for. 100% worth every penny, so glad we went with the Rice Mill as our venue/caterer.Eve and the staff at Good food Catering helped to make our wedding not only perfect for my husband and I, but an event our guests will remember.

I had my wedding reception at the Rice Mill with Jenna Tito as my coordinator and I could not imagine a better night or more accommodating planner or staff. The food from Good Food catering was a hit and each and every request I had went off phenomenally. Jenna and the staff made all my wedding visions come to life seeming so effortlessly. Jenna went above and beyond with each and every question I had the entire year that I was engaged and planning my reception at the Rice Mill. She coordinated with other vendors, had the greatest connections and recommendations, and even coordinated all of my rentals (lighting, linens, etc.). My favorite part was that Jenna and the staff took the time to surprise my husband and I with a white table cloth dinner set up by ourselves to give us a special time to enjoy each other away from the crowd and have our first meal as husband and wife and this actually allowed us to eat at our reception. All the guests and the wedding party had such a great evening that we even extended the reception. This staff and venue is phenomenal and any event that you could have here, I would highly recommend.I had my wedding reception at the Rice Mill with Jenna Tito as my coordinator and I could not imagine a better night or more accommodating planner or staff.

The venue was exquisite, especially to see the total eclipse of the sun on August 21, our wedding date. Jenna was FANTASTIC, we couldn't have had a better experience. She was always responsive, shared good ideas on decor, vendor options and had a calm about her that made me feel confident. I am from Toronto so I relied on her for early deliveries, long distance coordination, and meetings. She understood our vision and helped execute it into reality.
Good Food Catering was excellent, the only dish we didn't love was the fish. The appys, the filet, and the chicken were outstanding! The ambiance was complimented by the eclipse and we had transformed this quaint old historic building into a romantic paradise. The team was also very accommodating; when we moved up the guest arrival time and opened the bar, it was not a problem. When we extended the wedding an hour the night of, it was not a problem. I would highly recommend this venue and team to help make your wedding day one of your best ever memories.

The Historic Rice Mill is a magical location for a wedding. We originally booked the venue for our wedding scheduled Sunday 10th of September. However as this was the weekend hurricane Irma had decided to head towards Charleston, we ended up bringing our wedding forward by a day and hosting our welcome party at the HRM instead on the Friday before.
As a destination wedding party we’d only been able to see the venue from the website, and as soon as we did we knew it was the right place for us. Throughout the planning process I communicated with Jenna, the lead sales manager, a lovely person who was very professional and patient in answering all my questions! When we went for our first (and only) visit to the venue for a menu tasting we were blown away! The food alone is so amazing that it would be worth renting the venue! Seeing the venue in person just reaffirmed that we’d made the right choice, it’s such a beautiful space with all the historic architectural details and commanding views over the water.
During the stressful time of reorganizing our wedding in the wake of the hurricane Jenna was a true star. She went above and beyond to help us salvage as much of our wedding as possible, tirelessly communicating and coordinating with our vendors. She was absolutely amazing, calm, professional and supportive throughout the entire process. We ended up having a beautiful welcome party!
