    Beautiful Venue. Dreamy historic location. Extraordinary Staff.

    There is a brewery, axe throwing place, and arcade close to the Southern Bleachery. So lots to do. But we also were concerned about parking, deliveries, and noise from the other tenants during the ceremony. Southern Bleachery staff helped navigate our guests and venders through all of this so that all went of without a hitch.

    Excellence & Opulence

    Southern Bleachery is a hidden gem that won my vote as soon as I saw it! Unlike anything in the area, it offers a "blank slate" vibe that can be easily transformed into whatever you dream! The windows and walls made our pictures so flawless, airy and our photographer didn't have to over edit them! Ali and the team were so easy-going and helpful that our other vendors spoke highly of them. I was able to meet with Ali who is absolutely wonderful and I aspire to do what she does. She handles everything with care: connected me with a wonderful videographer, shared amazing planning resources and EVEN worked well with my sometimes dysfunctional family and friends! lol. Book a visit today!

    Outstanding venue, service, staff, coordination!

    Choosing the Southern Bleachery as our wedding venue was the best decision we made throughout the entire wedding planning process. From start to finish, Ali was responsive, flexible, prompt, and encouraging. My husband and I were able to make our wedding day one suited us perfectly. Our guests had nothing but fabulous things to say about their experience celebrating at the Bleachery. While we know that our wedding day would have been wonderful no matter the venue, we are confident that the Southern Bleachery made our day exactly what we wanted it to be!

    Perfect place to get married

    After searching throughout the Charlotte area for venues, my fiancé and I found this one in Greenville. We loved it so much that we planned a destination wedding! The Southern Bleachery has the perfect natural light and warehouse feel with simple elegance. It’s extremely affordable and offers enough space to accommodate many guests while still feeling like an intimate gathering.

    The absolute best!

    We absolutely LOVED working with the southern bleachery!! They were accommodating to our budget and our vision for the day and I couldn’t have asked for a better day! From the catering staff to Ali being THE BEST day of coordinator! Ali was always available to answer any last minute questions I had and helped me bring my dream to a reality! I would recommend this venue and staff a million times over and always joke that I want to get married again so I can work with all of them again and relive that perfect day!

    Couldn't imagine a better reception venue

    I couldn't imagine a better wedding reception experience. From booking to planning to decorating to dancing the night away, we loved Southern Bleachery every step of the way. The staff is helpful and knowledgeable and had everything set up the way we wanted! Its rustic elegance was exactly what we wanted.

    Wonderful!!

    We loved working with Ali at Southern Bleachery! From day 1 she had great communication and helped us stay calm when our catering service forgot some linens. She was always on time and professional and very quick with communication. This is the perfect venue!

    Outstanding venue, staff, service and value.

    The Southern Bleachery is a beautiful venue with professional and accommodating staff. Because they include some tables and chairs, they are a great value as well. Their flexibility and creativity make working with them a pleasure. We have nothing but fond memories of them hosting our daughter's wedding reception and would highly recommend them!

    Perfect!! So very helpful

    They were super helpful through the whole process. Always got back to us quickly answering my many questions. Let us come see the venue as much as we needed. So easy to work with. On the big day they all helped to set everything up and make sure that everything ran smoothly. It was beautiful and we could not ask for a better venue or a better group of people to help us with our wedding!

    Mother of the Bride

    We had our daughter's wedding here in December and could not have been more pleased!! Ali was the easiest, most pleasant, organized event coordinator and we fell in love with both her and the venue. Our guests LOVED!! Thank you, Ali!

    Fabulous Venue!

    We worked with Southern Bleachery for over a year and a half to schedule, and reschedule my daughters wedding. (Covid caused a couple of postponements!) As the mother of 3 daughters, I have planned a few weddings. This was by far the most detail oriented, smoothly planned and designed wedding ever. Maybe I am getting better at this, but I am about 99% sure it is because Ashleigh and her staff at Southern Bleachery know how to put on a wedding and reception! The venue was beautiful, and we did not have to worry about a thing. From the well orchestrated rehearsal, to the details of the day it was perfect. So much goes on behind the scenes at a wedding with deliveries, set-up, decorating, the ceremony, music, etc. Everything ran like clockwork, my daughter and son-in-law had a dream party, and everyone in attendance had a blast. Highly recommend-they are amazing!

    Beautiful, customizable space

    Ali, our main contact at the Southern Bleachery was so helpful throughout the planning process, answering our questions and providing any information we needed, especially navigating the craziness of COVID-19. We absolutely LOVED the natural light, white brick, and wood floors in this venue, which gave us space to be creative and also know it would be beautiful without too many decorations! The fact that they did not have preferred vendors was also a big plus. Ali and the venue were very upfront with the costs of the space and the rentals, which made us feel very confident moving forward with them! Would highly recommend this venue :)

    Perfect July Wedding

    Our daughter’s destination wedding was in July 2018. Ashleigh and Ali were great to work with from the first day! They guided us to wonderful vendors and hotels since we were not from the area. We were able to have all of our events on their property-a small welcome party at the brewery, bridal luncheon at the newly opened restaurant, rehearsal dinner on the premises and then the wedding and reception at Southern Bleachery. Having it all in one place was perfect for our out of town guests and family. Ali was with us the entire weekend, overseeing everything! For the parents of the bride (us!), that was so comforting and made the day stress free. Southern Bleachery is a beautiful venue for whatever event you are planning.

    The Very Best Venue

    My husband and I got married at the Southern Bleachery in May. We absolutely loved the venue! It’s unique, vibrant, and very clean. The groom suit and the bridal suit are both wonderful. We had the ceremony on one side and used dividers to have the reception of the other side. We got many compliments on the venue. Also, the pictures around the venue were stunning! Allie was so sweet and accommodating. I’d get married there all over again!

    I love my venue SO much! It was absolutely beautiful and exactly what I was looking for! The space was big enough for the amount of guests we wanted to accommodate (250) and they flipped the space for our reception in under 30 mins! The responsiveness wasn't perfect but also wasn't horrible, just be patient :)

    The Southern Bleachery was my top pick for my wedding venue. Once we decided to stay local in Greenville, SC, we chose the Bleachery for its warm, rustic, romantic appeal. It was the best place for the price (one of the lowest I could find in the area) and it was available on the date I desired the most. The team was accommodating to everything I needed, answered every question I had, and was very encouraging. They worked with my caterer that had never been to their space before, helped ensure that my floor plan made sense and was exactly what our guest size needed, and they helped calm some of my nerves, as I was planning my event without a wedding planner. My wedding day was absolutely beautiful and most of that is because of this gorgeous venue we chose!

    Southern Bleachery is a new venue in the old Taylors Mill in Taylors, SC. I found out about the venue after attending a fair that featured southern arts/crafts/food, etc. The space is BEAUTIFUL. It is old and rustic but also like nothing else we have in the Upstate. I chose the venue because of the space, the fact that it was new and not many people have used it for a wedding yet, and because the feeling was 100% what we were going for on our wedding day. Just be prepared to stay on top of the onsite coordinator, be very clear and firm. We had trouble getting responses to questions and when we did, they were often unclear. They are willing to work with you and ultimately my day of coordinators made our wedding happen beautifully. I think with time the onsite coordination will get better. It's a beautiful venue and overall I would recommend using it. Just be on your game or have coordinators who are and everything will be fine.
