VENUE SPOTLIGHT
The Planters Inn Courtyard
Planters Inn is the only historic hotel in Downtown Charleston with a garden courtyard venue available for hosting private events.
Charleston is referred to as “a city set in a garden,” and preeminent landscape designer Sheila Wertimer is well known for returning historic gardens to their nineteenth-century glory. For the Planters Inn Courtyard, Wertimer created a bluestone terrace that beguiles in both scale and style.
Perfectly manicured ornamental boxwoods are framed by historic brick pathways frame, while crepe myrtle and palmetto trees, wrought iron gates, and Charleston Battery benches enliven the venue with distinctively Southern character.
Every evening at dusk, the carriage lanterns are lit by hand—one-by-one—until the Planters Inn Courtyard comes alive. Trees are illuminated, candles glow, and tea lights flicker in a magical twilight tableau.
The Planters Inn Courtyard was intentionally designed to accommodate a variety of occasions—from intimate suppers to lively cocktail soirees. A gathering that begins outdoors can easily transition mid-event into either of Planters Inn’s two private dining rooms, both of which overlook the Courtyard.
Regarded as one of the most enchanting places to socialize in the South, the Planters Inn Courtyard’s resplendent sense of arrival and ambiance will set the stage for your unforgettable event.
