For some, a stylish downtown hotel with rooftop views is a dream. For others, a luxury yacht from which to enjoy Charleston’s historic waterfront is tough to beat. Still, some prefer the classic elegance of a country club setting. Thankfully, as one of the fastest-growing areas in the country, the Charleston metro features a wide variety of outdoor venue options, many of which cater to women and women’s groups with their historic spaces, local flavors and breathtaking Lowcountry vistas. THE DEWBERRY The Dewberry Charleston prides itself on being “quintessentially Charleston.” Set in the landmark L. Mendel Rivers Federal Building in downtown Charleston and designed with its founder John Dewberry’s vision of “Southern Reimagined™” in mind, The Dewberry seamlessly blends historic preservation, Charleston glamour and mid-century modern aesthetics. While “designed to deliver luxury, warmth and a nod to old Charleston,” The Dewberry’s event spaces are a blank canvas for clients to create the event of their dreams, according to Sarah Propester, director of sales and events at The Dewberry. She added, “For social events, I find that female clientele is drawn to the outdoor intimacy of the ivy-covered Charleston Walled Garden and the North Terrace with its one-of-a-kind views of the Charleston harbor and city.” Remarkable hand-crafted metalworks, period furnishings, luxurious greenery, divine draperies and unique art create a stunning backdrop for wedding ceremonies, cocktail receptions and other special events. Enjoyed by entrepreneurs, corporations and creatives, The Dewberry’s flawless service and timeless elegance are unparalleled.
