The Premiere Wedding Venue in Columbia SC

Outdoor & Indoor Event Space for Parties of all Sizes

Our group of event spaces, known as Senate's End, are nestled between a wooded ravine and the Congaree River. Overlooking the historic Gervais Street Bridge in the Vista, the property is a hidden gem in the heart of downtown Columbia SC. Our venues are convenient to the surrounding areas of Lexington, Irmo, West Columbia, Forest Acres and the USC campus. This stunning backdrop offers a wedding venue with the character of a natural environment and a variety of convenient features like ample parking, nearby hotels and a vibrant downtown.

Three Well-Appointed Buildings and Two Outdoor Wedding Venues

Once the home of Sterling Garden Center, Senate's End is a collection of distinctive buildings: The Hall300 Senate and 302 Senate. Each building has an outdoor deck or patio for a stunning indoor/outdoor wedding venue experience when weather permits. Adjacent to the buildings are two outdoor Wedding Gardens, with flexible seating, and a variety of natural trees, bushes and flowers for natural elegance.
