How Does Kersey House Host Unforgettable Corporate Events In Charleston?

Corporate events are about more than a meeting agenda. They set the tone for how colleagues connect, how partners are welcomed, and how a company’s culture is experienced. At Kersey House, just outside Charleston, we help you create gatherings that are both productive and welcoming. With a historic setting, versatile spaces, chef led menus, and full service support, we make corporate events seamless from the first arrival to the last handshake.

What spaces support different corporate needs?

Kersey House offers a range of rooms that let planners shape the flow of a corporate event. The Magnolia Ballroom seats 80 with hardwood floors, cathedral ceiling, and a built in bar, ideal for dinners or presentations. The 3,000 square foot courtyard seats 250, surrounded by azaleas and a water feature, perfect for large programs. Smaller meetings fit the Family Room for 20 or Donald’s Room for 24. Verandas with lanterns and fans seat 50, giving groups relaxed networking space outdoors.

How does dining turn into a corporate advantage?

At corporate events, meals are more than food, they’re opportunities for connection. At Kersey House, our culinary team, led by Chef Nico Romo and Executive Chef Remi Lorgoulloux, delivers menus that feel refined yet approachable. Exclusive in house catering means no outside coordination, so planners can focus on content and guests. Companies often use plated entrées for formal dinners or courtyard stations for networking flow. With built in bars nearby, transitions between programming and conversation stay seamless, keeping the event engaging and productive.

How does the atmosphere support company culture?

Corporate events need more than space, they need the right tone. At Kersey House, the restored 1912 traveler’s rest sets a stage that feels thoughtful and distinct. Original heart pine floors, fireplaces, and wide verandas with Charleston lanterns create an environment that encourages conversation without feeling rigid. Teams often say the setting helps them step away from daily routines and connect in more genuine ways. By moving beyond the feel of a standard hotel ballroom, the atmosphere reinforces a company’s values of creativity, connection, and care.

What policies matter for corporate planners?

Clarity is key for smooth corporate events, and our policies support that. Setup begins at 10 a.m., with early access possible if staffing is added. A professional planner, either full or partial service, is required to keep the schedule on track. Catering and bar service are handled exclusively in house, though companies may provide a cake. Contracts outline clear payment milestones, with deposits due at signing, final food and beverage due 14 days prior, and billing finalized within three days.

Why do companies find events here memorable?

Corporate clients tell us they value the mix of historic character, modern service, and culinary expertise. The original heart pine floors, fireplaces, and southern verandas create a setting that feels distinctive, while our professional staff keeps events on schedule. The courtyard bar is often cited as a highlight, providing a natural hub for networking that feels less formal than a ballroom reception. For planners, the inclusions simplify logistics, and for attendees, the experience feels elevated.

How does staff support professionalism?

A corporate event reflects the company hosting it, and polished service is part of that impression. At Kersey House, every gathering is supported by trained event managers, captains, bartenders, and waitstaff. They handle timing, flow, and guest needs so organizers can focus on their program and people. Standard setup begins at 10 a.m., ensuring the venue is prepared well before guests arrive. From the first pour at the bar to the last cleared plate, our staff helps create a seamless experience that feels organized and professional.
