    The Charleston Rifle Club was a hidden jewel on the Ashley River for our wedding reception. Their communication style was easy and helpful throughout the planning process. The spacious ballroom was easily converted to our wedding theme, and the fee included a great kitchen for our caterer plus tables and chairs. The band was thrilled with the stage area and our guests loved the large dance floor and full bar. With plenty of free onsite parking and a beautiful view of the marsh and river, this venue provided the best bang for our buck. The staff was absolutely wonderful and made our day perfect.
