Overlooking the historic Gervais Street Bridge in the Vista, the property is a hidden gem in the heart of downtown Columbia SC. Our venues are convenient to the surrounding areas of Lexington, Irmo, West Columbia, Forest Acres and the USC campus. This stunning backdrop offers a wedding venue with the character of a natural environment and a variety of convenient features like ample parking, nearby hotels and a vibrant downtown.

Once the home of Sterling Garden Center, Senate's End is a collection of distinctive buildings: The Hall300 Senate and 302 Senate. Each building has an outdoor deck or patio for a stunning indoor/outdoor wedding venue experience when weather permits.
