A little about the venue...

GAGE HALL

We feel that Gage Hall, an annex of the Universal Unitarian Church of Charleston, is the perfect site for our reception.  The building, located in a beautiful & historic part of Charleston, has so much charm & good feeling. We considered having both the ceremony & reception here; 

... IN CASE OF BAD WEATHER: The ceremony will be at Gage Hall at 4pm- we will do our best to contact you all to notify you of any weather related venue change).

A little history...

The Unitarian Church, a National Historic Landmark, is the oldest Unitarian church in the South. In colonial Charleston, members of the Circular Congregational Church (then known as the Independent Church) were so numerous the need arose to build a second church building. Construction began at this Archdale site in 1772, but was temporarily interrupted by the Revolutionary War. The small rectangular brick church was finally completed in 1787.

In 1852 his two-year renovation of the church began, which included the addition of the rear chancel, a four-story tower and stucco to the original brick walls. The remodeled church exhibited typical Gothic features such as the crenellated tower, arched windows, stained glass panels, and Tudor arch entrance. On the exterior, false buttresses are used for visual effect rather than as structural supports, as is the interior vaulting, made of lath and plaster. This vaulting is modeled on the that of Henry VII chapel at Westminster in London, England. When the building suffered significant damage in the earthquake of 1886, people across the country sent donations to fund repairs.
The Unitarian Church is located at 4 Archdale St. The building is open to the public Friday and Saturday 8:00am to 1:00pm. Call 843-723-4617 for further information.
