Ceremony options: outdoor and riverside choices
Greenspace is the on-site outdoor lawn commonly used for wedding ceremonies and receptions; it overlooks Liberty Bridge and Falls Park and measures roughly 30 by 60 feet. This is the property’s primary outdoor option when you want a ceremony with views of the Reedy River and downtown Greenville.
Because the lodge sits inside Falls Park on the Reedy, Liberty Bridge and several park vantage points are an easy walk from the hotel for photos or a short post-ceremony stroll. If you plan to use park property beyond the hotel’s Greenspace, contact the city/park for permits.
- Greenspace: turf lawn, views of Liberty Bridge, capacity for receptions up to 120.
- On-site ceremony coordination is available through the hotel’s wedding services (wedding packages reference spa and welcome receptions).
- Falls Park and Liberty Bridge are a one-minute walk from the lodge for additional photo locations.
