A space to make your own✨ One weekend, it's an elegant candlelit reception. The next, it's disco balls, draped ceilings, and lounge seating. Or an after party with a light-up dance floor and live on-stage band. No matter the occasion, The American Theater ballroom was designed to be transformed. Whatever your vision, this space is ready!

What vibe are you bringing? 🎭

🔎 DID YOU KNOW? | When you book your wedding or event at The William Aiken House, you can add The American Theater for less than the cost of a tent! Since the two properties are connected, it's an easy way to expand your event and create even more unforgettable moments. Skip the tent, but not the peace of mind. The American Theater makes an ideal backup rain plan for your ceremony, cocktail hour, or dinner. Need extra space? Use Stars Lounge (exciting glow-up coming soon!) as a comfortable getting-ready lounge for the groomsmen. Looking to wow your guests? Transform the ballroom into an interactive experience with live entertainment, a casino night, late-night lounge, or whatever fits your vision.

One event. Two iconic Charleston venues. Endless possibilities. ✨
