The Davenport

The Davenport place was a great venue. I am in the miltary so as far as sit down meetings go, I was never around! they were flexible and allowed me to feel at ease being so far away from my hometown planning the wedding. They promptly responded to phone calls and allowed me to visit when I needed. A few weeks before my wedding, the owner met me at 10 p.m. to finalize my wedding! They go above and beyong to make your day/event as special as possible. The day of my wedding was simply beautiful. The scenery and the hospitality of the staff was great!

Everything was wonderful except the way you have to lock up. You have to call the numbers on the wall in the kitchen until you get a person to answer the phone. Then they tell you how to lock the door. You have to try to see in the dark, no light over the door, the person on the phone tells you how to lock up yourself. You never see a person. It was very uneasy to do that alone in the dark.

We had our reception at Events at the Davenport. It was a beautiful place and they already had tables, chairs, and tableclothes available. They even let us come the day before to put up some lights. It was just right for our wedding, but may not work for larger weddings.

After doing much searching for the perfect reception venue for the perfect cost, we came across the Davenport. The Davenport is located in downtown Greer, which was less than five minutes from our church. My mother and I emailed them and received a response immediatley regarding the cost of renting the building. The person who we dealt with was very polite and answered all of our questions. The cost was much cheaper than other, similar venues. Since my wedding was to be right after Christmas (December 30), we were told that the Christmas tree and decorations would still be left up. The day of the wedding, we were allowed use of the building for the entire day. My mom and I went to put out the center pieces at 9 AM for the 8 PM reception. Everything turned out beautiful, the staff was very friendly, and it was a wonderful reception. Highly recommend; a great value for the cost.
