Our Venues Cannon Green is a remarkable space in the heart of Charleston’s most vibrant downtown neighborhood. We designed our venue to give guests both indoor and outdoor entertaining options, and we are pleased to be able to accommodate varying sizes of wedding day events.
The Trolley Room The Trolley Room is Cannon Green’s signature event venue. This 3,000 square-foot, column-free space features the original king trusses, reflects the warehouse’s original architecture, and evokes an urban-infused charm of times past. The historic and inviting atmosphere coupled with modern features, such as year-round climate control, white oak wood floors, ambient lighting, a Sonos sound system and established locations for sound stages comprise the thoughtful touches necessary for today’s seamless events.
The Courtyard The Courtyard adjoins the Trolley Room and includes a tranquil garden with reflecting pools and rows of statuesque palmettos. Host your ceremony or begin your evening with an al fresco cocktail hour in the Courtyard. It offers options for food display stations, portable bars, evocative landscape lighting, candlelit lanterns, and a Sonos sound system. A beautiful clear-top tent can be installed in the Courtyard for an additional fee.

Our Cuisine Cannon Green’s culinary approach embraces the freshness and bounty of each season. This locally-sourced approach is not only a sustainable and healthy way to prepare food, it keeps our artisanal kitchen team, led by Executive Chef Amalia Scatena, inspired. Chef Scatena was classically trained in Italy and incorporates refined Mediterranean techniques with Lowcountry ingredients to create memorable, artful dishes. All of Cannon Green’s pastas and breads are crafted in house, and our produce and seafood come from our partnerships with local farmers, fishermen and producers, as part of our commitment to the local food movement and our celebration of all that is seasonal and fresh.

Our Executive Chef Raised in San Francisco among a kitchen-centric Italian family, Amalia Scatena’s passion for food was fueled equally by her parents and by the great Bay Area chefs they exposed her to, especially Alice Waters and Herbert Keller. An honors graduate of the Advanced Culinary Arts Professional Program from the Culinary Institute of Florence, Amalia apprenticed under Chef Melissa Close at Barboursville Vineyard’s Palladio restaurant outside of Charlottesville, VA before joining the culinary team at Keswick Hall, where she worked for five years under Chef Craig Hartman. During her last year at Keswick, the hotel was awarded the #1 Small Resort in America by Conde Nast Traveler and, under her management as Chef de Cuisine, was named #1 Hotel in North America for Food. Amalia served as Executive Chef of Pippin Hill for two years, and now directs the culinary program for all Easton Porter Group properties in Charlottesville, VA and in Charleston, SC.
