Union Station
LGBTQ+-owned restored warehouse in downtown Charleston with a main hall for up to 300 guests.
Union Station is a converted historic warehouse in downtown Charleston, South Carolina. It offers about 7,500 square feet of event space with a clean, contemporary finish.
Why it suits LGBTQ+ couples
Union Station is LGBTQ+-owned. It is a good match for couples who want a modern, flexible room in the middle of Charleston instead of a traditional plantation or ballroom. The space is a blank canvas, so you can shape it to suit your own taste.
Ceremonies
The venue welcomes ceremonies as well as receptions, engagement parties and rehearsal dinners. The main hall is large, so a ceremony can be set up in one part and the reception in another. Ask how the team turns the room between the two, and what the plan is for guests while it changes.
Receptions and food
The space includes a large historic warehouse area, a finished bar clad in pine and cypress, a mezzanine wedding suite overlooking the bar, and an intimate lounge. The main hall holds up to 300 guests, while about 60 guests fit around the bar. The venue provides bar service, including house liquor. Ask about catering, since menus may come from outside suppliers, and confirm any rules on caterers and cleanup.
Getting there and the area
Union Station is in downtown Charleston, so many hotels, restaurants and photo locations are close by. A downtown address helps out-of-town guests, because they can walk or take a short ride. Ask about parking and loading, as the city center can be busy on weekends.
Good to know
Check accessibility for older relatives and guests who use wheelchairs, including parking, paths and restrooms. Book early for weekend dates in spring and fall, since popular venues can fill many months ahead. Ask for a list of recommended suppliers, and ask which of them have worked with same-sex couples before. Walk through the day with the team, from guest arrival to the last dance, so that nothing is left to chance.
