Seated dinners for up to 125 guests, receptions for up to 200, company meetings and weddings take place at Union Station, a private event space at 652-A King Street in downtown Charleston, South Carolina. The venue is one open room with exposed brick and working roll-up garage doors, plus a built-in bar and an upstairs lounge, and all food and drink come from Rosemary & Rye, the Charleston catering team behind it.
Seminars and company events
The venue hosts corporate meetings, team off-sites, training sessions, client events, networking receptions, product launches, panel discussions, awards dinners, holiday parties and nonprofit programs. The main room can be set theater, classroom, boardroom, banquet or cocktail style, and the final number depends on the layout and furniture plan. For daytime meetings, Rosemary & Rye Provisions takes online orders for breakfast, boxed or platter lunches, sandwich platters, salads, boards and sweets. Audio-visual upgrades are part of planned improvements, so organizers list their needs for screens, projectors, microphones, speakers and Wi-Fi in the inquiry, and the team confirms what is available or helps book outside suppliers.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings, rehearsal dinners and private parties fill much of the calendar. The main room takes ceremonies, seated dinners and dancing, and the upstairs lounge works as a getting-ready room for the wedding party or a space for vendors. Menus can include passed hors d'oeuvres, stations, seated dinners, late-night bites and desserts. The catering team also works at weddings in historic homes, ballrooms, tents and estates across the Lowcountry.
Rooms and capacities
Main event space: up to 125 seated and 200 cocktail style, with an open floor plan, exposed brick and roll-up doors that bring in daylight and fresh air.
Built-in bar: the front bar area handles beverage service and suits welcome drinks, a pre-event reception or gatherings of 30 or fewer.
Upstairs lounge: a separate room on the second floor for VIP guests, a wedding party, event staff or a quieter daytime session.
A catering prep room behind the scenes supports plating and service. Rentals include 200 natural wood Chiavari chairs, 15 sixty-inch round tables and standard bar glassware.
Catering
Catering and bar service are in-house only, provided by Rosemary & Rye. For larger events, menus range from passed hors d'oeuvres and food stations to plated dinners and lunch service. Bar options go from beer and wine to a full bar, signature cocktails and zero-proof drinks. Because tables and chairs are part of the rental, the list of outside rentals stays short.
History and setting
The venue sits on King Street, the main shopping and dining street of downtown Charleston, close to hotels, restaurants, bars and local businesses, which suits groups who travel in for a meeting or a wedding weekend. The walkthrough video on the site predates recent renovations, so the sales team confirms current finishes and layout.
Getting there
The address is 652-A King Street, Charleston, SC. Paid city parking is available next to the venue. Charleston International Airport is about 12 miles away, and the Amtrak station is in North Charleston.
