What Makes Family Celebrations Unique in Charleston’s Kersey House Parlor Rooms?
Family celebrations deserve a setting that feels personal yet welcoming, with spaces that invite both conversation and comfort. At Kersey House, our parlor rooms bring together original 1912 architecture and a warm sense of place, giving Charleston families a memorable backdrop for birthdays, showers, graduations, or gatherings of any kind.
Family celebrations at Kersey House stand out for their blend of history, intimacy, and thoughtful service. The 1912 parlor rooms host 16 to 24 guests, with optional connections to larger spaces like the Magnolia Ballroom or courtyard. Guests enjoy French-inspired catering, included amenities, and nearby Summerville photo spots for a relaxed, personal gathering.
Intimate rooms that shape connection
Our four parlor rooms each carry details that make family occasions feel distinctive. The Family Room features a fireplace and tributes to the Kersey family, offering a cozy spot for reflection or toasts. The Firefighter Room, decorated in honor of Steve Kersey’s career, provides the same scale but with a different character. On the second floor, Donna’s Room opens with expansive windows and veranda access, while Donald’s Room creates a flexible space with a masculine design inspired by fishing. Each room accommodates between 16 and 24 guests, ideal for smaller groups that want both privacy and elegance.
Pairing rooms for more flexibility
When a celebration calls for more room, families often pair the parlor rooms with the Magnolia Ballroom or the Courtyard. The ballroom’s cathedral ceiling and built in bar bring polish to milestone dinners, while the 3,000 square foot courtyard offers seating for up to 250 guests among azaleas and hydrangeas. Verandas wrap around the house with teak style flooring and Charleston lanterns, giving guests natural spots to mingle between moments.
Built-in comforts for families
Planning a family celebration is easier when essentials are included. At Kersey House, your event includes 200 x-back style chairs, hammered silver flatware, white china, and glassware already in place. Our service team of event managers, bartenders, and waitstaff ensures the room flows smoothly. Families often share that these built-in details let them focus less on logistics and more on being present together for the occasion.
Nearby spaces for photos and strolls
Kersey House sits in historic downtown Summerville, just steps from Azalea Park. Families often pause under the trees for portraits or walk through town before or after their event. These nearby spots add an extra layer to your celebration without the need to travel. It’s a simple way to give guests variety, whether they want quiet photos, a short stroll, or a chance to enjoy downtown charm.
