The Grand at 81 Mary offers the best of both worlds.

In a city like Charleston, where weather can change quickly, our venue ensures year-round comfort without sacrificing style. Whether you’re planning a spring wedding, a summer gala, or a winter celebration, The Grand provides the flexibility to host every moment — indoors and out — with ease.
