PICTURE PERFECT WEDDING A stone’s throw from Falls Park and the Swamp Rabbit Trail, there’s no better backdrop to complement your big day. Spanning 6-acres, the Peace Center is the perfect mixture of classic and contemporary. From it’s gorgeous Concert Hall swathed in glass, to the Historic brick and timber Huguenot Mill, the Peace Center’s unique silhouette adds immeasurable value to the city’s skyline and downtown area.
GREENVILLE IS ALWAYS GROWING Nestled snugly between Atlanta and Charlotte, 20 minutes from Spartanburg International Airport and an hour down the road from Asheville, is Greenville, South Carolina. With a population of a little over 60,000, Greenville is a small-town city that’s quickly becoming the go-to destination for anyone looking to get away. Guests traveling from out of town will absolutely adore the quaint local shops and restaurants, and will appreciate the large selection of premier hotels within walking distance from the Peace Center.
THE HUGUENOT MILL
As soon as you step through the front doors, it’s clear. This isn’t the same event space you’ve been seeing brochure after brochure. Built in 1882, this once-operation textile mill is one of Greenville’s oldest standing structures. Hardwood floors, rough-hewn pine timber columns and exposed red brick walls give the space a chic, historic aesthetic, and unmatched versatility. Whatever your vision for your wedding may be, the Huguenot Mill is the perfect place to see it come to life.

EVERYTHING YOU NEED IN ONE PLACE From ceremony to reception and everything in between, the Peace Center is the place to be. Over fifty percent of our clients hold their entire wedding at our venue, proving that the Huguenot Loft is a one-stop wedding shop. Planning a cocktail hour in between the ceremony and reception? With similar design elements to the loft upstairs, Ramsaur Studio is the perfect place to entertain guests while they wait for the main event.

MISCELLANEOUS
PARKING The city of Greenville has great garages within walking distance of the Huguenot Mill, and a drop-off zone just down the street. SEND-OFFS A proper send-off for newly weds is important! We allow bubbles, glow sticks, ribbon wands, noisemakers and pennants. But because of city regulations, we do not allow anything that makes a mess or can be hazardous to city wildlife – confetti, glitter, rice – and anything that requires an open flame – sparklers, paper lanterns – is strictly prohibited.
