Cannon Green

What Cannon Green does

Cannon Green is a privately held wedding and private event venue operating from a single historic property at 103 Spring Street in downtown Charleston, South Carolina, inside the Cannonborough-Elliotborough neighborhood. The core offering is exclusive-use rental of two adjacent spaces, the column-free Trolley Room (approximately 3,000 sq. ft.) and the walled Courtyard with reflecting pools and palmettos, typically bundled together for weddings and corporate or social events. The product is sold primarily through an inquiry-first direct sales motion, with the sales team responding within two business days, and bookings are currently being taken for the 2026 and 2027 wedding seasons.

Revenue is generated through an all-inclusive Bespoke Wedding Package (covering venue, décor, tabletop, in-house catering, professional staff, and bar service for up to 125 guests), à la carte private and corporate events for groups of roughly 20 to 250, and ancillary streams such as the on-site Chef's Table experience for up to 12 guests and branded retail merchandise. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The culinary program is anchored by an attached fine-dining restaurant, Wild Common, led by Executive Chef Orlando Pagán, a 2021 James Beard Award Semi-Finalist, which also serves as a flagship brand asset and a source of press coverage. Bespoke package revenue is supplemented by a South Carolina ABC mixed-beverage catering license that restricts outside alcohol, keeping beverage margin in-house.

The operating model is asset-light on technology: there is no proprietary platform, AI capability, or API integration beyond commodity reservation (Resy) and installment-payment (Carats & Cake) partnerships. The business is part of Easton Porter Group's boutique hospitality portfolio alongside Zero George, Zero Restaurant, Pippin Hill Farm & Vineyards, Costa, and Alcove Market. Distribution is direct, with no third-party resellers, supported by social (Instagram, Pinterest, Facebook), a wedding-planning blog and quarterly newsletter, paid and organic placements in The Knot, Wedding Wire, Charleston Wedding Guide, and a multi-year track record as a The Knot Best of Weddings winner (consecutive recognition from 2021 through 2024).
