Corporate Events and Private Functions
History as your backdrop
A meeting space is a meeting space is a meeting space, or is it?
Imagine enjoying cocktails and hors d'oeuvres with your staff or clients by the banks of the Ashley River, underneath the winding branches of a live oak tree,
by a Victorian reflecting pond, or on the portico of an architectural masterpiece.
Instead of sitting down to dinner or a lecture with a background of wallpaper, imagine seeing the allee of azaleas or the stunning land-front façade of the
oldest Georgian Palladian building in the United States.
After the site is closed to the general public, we open it up for unique corporate events and private functions. Why not join us for your next event?

Reserving a Date
Because of the site's unique state of preservation, we can only host a limited number of private events each year which means that when you choose
Drayton Hall, you can be sure that your guests will remember their experience.
We encourage you to book early, especially if you are considering months in the spring and fall-the most popular times of the year.
To learn more or to reserve a date, please contact Debbi Zimmerman by phone, 843-769-2630, or by email at
debbi_zimmerman@draytonhall.org.
Because of the site's limited availability, we require a signed contract
and a 50% deposit once you have selected a date.
