Wedding Spaces that Flex with Your Style:

The AC Hotel isn’t a one-size-fits-all kind of place. Whether you’re planning a bash for 50 or a full-on extravaganza, they’ve got you covered:

  • Reedy Hall: Picture floor-to-ceiling windows framing vibrant city views, a private terrace overlooking the bustling Main Street, and direct access to the lively Camperdown Plaza. Reedy Hall can comfortably host up to 180 seated guests or 200 for a reception-style celebration. Its flexible layout allows for division into 3 smaller sections, perfectly suited for more intimate gatherings.
  • Jasmine Hall: This private rooftop haven offers direct access to the enchanting Secret Garden, creating a seamless flow between indoor and outdoor spaces. Jasmine Hall can accommodate approximately 80 guests for a seated dinner or 100 for a reception, making it ideal for smaller, sophisticated celebrations.
  • Secret Garden: Imagine saying “I do” surrounded by lush greenery and breathtaking cityscapes. This rooftop oasis can host wedding ceremonies for up to 100 people, transforming into a charming reception space during cocktail hour.
  • Broad & Main: This elevated hospitality suite provides the perfect setting for your bridal party to prepare, host a bridal shower, or simply relax before the big day. Featuring floor-to-ceiling windows showcasing downtown Greenville, comfortable lounge furniture, and a built-in kitchenette, Broad & Main offers a touch of luxury and convenience.

Whether you envision a grand celebration or a cozy gathering, the AC Hotel Greenville’s diverse event spaces provide the perfect canvas to create a wedding that reflects your unique love story.

Why the AC Hotel is a Wedding Win:

The AC Hotel isn’t just about the pretty spaces (although, let’s be real, they are gorgeous). Here’s what really sets them apart:

  • The A-Team: Their event crew is like your own personal wedding squad. They’ll handle all the nitty-gritty details, from planning to vendor wrangling, so you can focus on the fun stuff – like saying “I do” and celebrating with the people you love.
  • Food for Foodies: The AC Hotel’s chefs are rockstars. They whip up delicious and creative dishes that’ll have your guests raving. Plus, they can cater to all kinds of dietary needs, so no one gets left out.
  • Downtown Digs: This hotel is smack dab in the middle of Greenville, which means your guests can explore the city’s restaurants, shops, and attractions whenever they want. It’s perfect for out-of-towners who want to experience the city’s energy.

Review Summary from Wedding Wire:

“The AC Hotel is highly recommended as a wedding venue by multiple reviewers. The space is described as gorgeous, with beautiful details and a convenient location in downtown Greenville. The staff, including Jayme, Cat, Hannah, and Morgan, are praised for their professionalism, helpfulness, and attention to detail. The food is also highly praised as delicious, and the rooftop views are mentioned as a highlight. Overall, couples had a wonderful experience at the AC Hotel and highly recommend it for weddings.”

 

Things to Consider: A Photographer’s Quick Tips

The AC Hotel is pretty darn awesome, but here are a couple of things to keep in mind:

  • Outdoor Space: While the rooftop terrace is amazing, the hotel mostly has indoor spaces. So, if you’re picturing a sprawling outdoor wedding, you might want to consider other options.
  • City Sounds: Downtown Greenville can get lively, especially on weekends. If you’re all about total peace and quiet, you might want to chat with the venue about noise reduction strategies. But hey, the lively atmosphere can also add a fun vibe to your celebration!
  • Parking Perks: On-site parking is limited, so think about arranging transportation for your guests, especially if they’re not familiar with downtown Greenville.

 I truly believe it’s a fantastic wedding venue. It’s stylish, versatile, and has a dedicated team that makes everything run smoothly. Plus, the bar scene and downtown location are major perks!

So, if you’re searching for a sophisticated and convenient spot in the heart of Greenville with a touch of urban energy, the AC Hotel is definitely worth checking out.
