Word on the street
What locals are saying
Cooper River Room earns consistent praise from Mt. Pleasant locals and Charleston-area couples who want an intimate, unpretentious alternative to the more formal downtown venues — the Ravenel Bridge views and Lowcountry aesthetic (murals, wrought-iron chandeliers, rocking-chair porch) are recurring highlights. The venue is best suited for smaller weddings, typically under 150 guests, with reviewers specifically noting the right-sized indoor/outdoor flexibility and easy-to-work-with staff. Practical constraints come up regularly: couples must hire their own licensed caterer and a required event coordinator, access is capped at five hours, and a 50% deposit locks the date — so it rewards organized couples who come prepared.
