“Southern hospitality” is an understatement at the Cedar Room in Charleston, South Carolina!  A rustic setting is the key feature in this historic cigar factory building.  The 1881 architectural elements are still evident in this “Old South” treasure.  If southern history is your cup of sweet tea, then this may be the ideal choice for your wedding location!
