Word on the street

What locals are saying

The Bend is a 20-acre outdoor event space along the Ashley River in North Charleston that draws mostly positive local sentiment, with a 94% recommendation rate across 243 Facebook reviews. Most available reviews cover concerts and community festivals rather than weddings specifically, making it hard to gauge wedding-specific performance — though guests consistently praise the spacious grounds, river views, ample parking, and strong sound quality. Wedding-focused feedback is sparse online, suggesting the venue may be better known locally as a live-music and festival destination than a dedicated bridal venue.
