Culinary Excellence by Wild Common
Dining at Cannon Green is an experience unto itself. With all food and beverage serviced by Wild Common, guests enjoy a menu crafted by Executive Chef Orlando Pagán and Event Chef Casey Costa, with many ingredients sourced from local farms like Dog Patch Farm.
Whether you’re hosting a seated dinner in the Garden Room or a chef’s tasting menu on the terrace-level Chef’s Table, you can expect:
- Seasonally inspired dishes with impeccable presentation
- Flexibility for dietary needs and customizations
- Beverage curation featuring premium wines, local craft spirits, and signature cocktails
A full venue buyout also allows you to personalize furnishings and layouts, with the option to bring your own custom decor, tabletop, and more. And just up the stairs behind the iconic Wild Common bar is an intimate Chef’s room perfect for a Private Bite overlooking the stunning Courtyard.
We are in awe of the pure variety and elevation of low country dishes at Wild Common, and we cannot recommend their sophisticated menu more highly.
The Garden Room: Intimate & Timeless
Tucked within a beautifully preserved 1840s residence, the Garden Room at Cannon Green Charleston offers a thoughtfully restored indoor setting that reflects the venue’s storied past while embracing a polished, contemporary palette. The rich wood tones, elegant scale, and natural light make it ideal for micro-weddings, rehearsal dinners, and stylish soirées.
Perfect for those seeking a curated yet cozy environment. Allowing for 50 guests seated or 75 cocktail-style, The Garden Room is ideal for small ceremonies, welcoming events, cocktailing, or intimate dining. The adjacent courtyard available with a custom tent rental would allow for a seamless indoor-outdoor flow of events.
The Courtyard: Charleston Charm Under the Stars
The Courtyard offers lush greenery, architectural fountains, and twinkling string lights, making it one of Charleston’s most enchanting outdoor spaces. It’s ideal for al fresco ceremonies, cocktail hours, or late-night mingling beneath the stars. With integrated lighting and optional tenting, it delivers a romantic, all-season backdrop for your most unforgettable moments.
The Trolley Room: Historic Grandeur for Statement Celebrations
The Trolley Room, once an 1800s trolley barn, has been artfully transformed into a dynamic reception space with vaulted ceilings and original brickwork. It accommodates:
- 150 seated | 180 cocktail-style
- Full property buyout capacity: up to 250 guests
- Pairs beautifully with Wild Common and The Courtyard for a multi-space flow
- Can host ceremonies, receptions, or large-scale welcome parties
A perfect choice for couples seeking a bold, dramatic atmosphere balanced by refined elements and seamless service.
