Your Dream Event Destination in Travelers Rest, SC

Hey there, friends! We’re beyond excited to launch the very first blog post for The Venue at Cherokee Valley, nestled in the charming town of Travelers Rest, South Carolina. As the team here at The Venue, we’ve had the joy of witnessing countless celebrations come to life in our stunning spaces, and we can’t wait to share what makes this place so unique. Whether you’re a couple planning your dream wedding, a business hosting a corporate retreat, or a family celebrating a milestone, we’ve got everything you need to make your event truly unforgettable. Let’s dive into why The Venue at Cherokee Valley is the perfect destination for your next big day—and how we can bring your vision to life!

A Scenic Backdrop for Your Special Day

Imagine celebrating your event surrounded by the lush landscapes of Upstate South Carolina, with a serene lake as your backdrop and the rolling hills stretching out around you. That’s the magic of The Venue at Cherokee Valley. Our 3,526-square-foot climate-controlled venue and an 8,500-square-foot beautifully landscaped Outdoor Venue Event Space offer a harmonious blend of Southern charm and modern elegance. We only host one event per day, so when you book with us, you’ll have exclusive access to both event spaces—perfect for everything from an intimate gathering on our Southern wrap-around porch to a grand affair under the stars in the Venue Garden.

We offer a unique ceremony spot at Hole 17 on our golf course overlooking the lake for those extra special moments. It’s an incredible setting for weddings or milestone events, with space for up to 110 guests in a 3-hour block. Plus, if you book with us, you get free access to our scenic photo shoot locations—ideal for capturing those unforgettable memories without interrupting the golf course (just be sure to schedule with our golf staff!). Located just a short drive from Greenville, South Carolina, and Asheville, North Carolina, our venue offers local and out-of-town guests convenience, with plenty of nearby accommodations, dining options, and recreational activities to make your event weekend even more memorable.

Flexible Rentals for Non-Wedding Events

While we’re known for our dreamy weddings, The Venue at Cherokee Valley is also the perfect spot for non-wedding events like corporate retreats, birthday parties, or family reunions. We offer hourly rental rates to accommodate a variety of gatherings. You can rent The Venue for your event between 10 am and 10 pm, with rates depending on whether you use our in-house catering or bring in an outside caterer. No matter the occasion, you’ll have access to both of our event spaces, ensuring plenty of room for your guests to mingle and celebrate.

Wedding Packages Tailored to Your Vision

For couples planning their big day, we’ve designed our wedding packages to be as flexible as they are fabulous. From our Classic Elegance Package to the all-inclusive Signature Experience Package, we’ve got options to suit every vision. Here’s a quick look:


  • Classic Elegance Package: This package is perfect for couples who want a seamless experience. You’ll get full-day access to the venue from 10 am to 10 pm, a day-of attendant, month-of coordination, and access to our curated décor closet for that sophisticated touch. Plus, you can choose two add-ons, like professional setup and cleanup, to make your day even easier.


  • Luxe Celebration Package: Ready to elevate your experience? This package includes two-day venue access, early Bridal Suite access with refreshments, and three add-on options. It’s ideal for couples who want extra time for a rehearsal dinner or post-wedding brunch.



  • Signature Experience All-Inclusive Package: This is the ultimate stress-free option. You’ll get two-day exclusive access, a luxurious Bridal Suite, professional photography and videography (including drone footage!), floral arrangements, wedding coordination, and more. Everything you need for your perfect day is in one package.


All our packages can be customized, and food and beverage options are separate so you can create the perfect menu. We understand that every couple’s vision is unique, and our dedicated team is committed to bringing your wedding dreams to life.

Culinary Delights from Core 450

One of the highlights of hosting your event at The Venue at Cherokee Valley is the exceptional catering from our on-site restaurant, Core 450. Whether you dream of a casual buffet or an elegant plated dinner, our culinary team covers you. Our catering options range from Buffet (think BBQ pulled pork and Gouda mac & cheese—yum!) to plated dinners with premium entrees like pheasant or prime rib.

And don’t forget the bar—we offer everything from a Beer & Wine drink package to a Premium Full Bar with top-shelf liquors and signature cocktails. Cheers to celebrating in style!
