A restaurant is the perfect place to hold your Greenville wedding reception – and in the article below, we discuss some of the top reasons why hosting your wedding reception at a Greenville restaurant such as UP on the Roof or Ruth’s Chris Steak House can make your nuptial celebration a smashing success!

Restaurants: A Perfect Fit for More Intimate Wedding Receptions

If you have an intimate wedding reception in mind, where guests have more opportunity to converse and connect, then a Greenville restaurant reception may be perfect for your event.

Our two Greenville Ruth’s Chris restaurants, located at 250 Riverplace in Downtown Greenville or 851 Congaree Road at Greenville I-385, offer private dining rooms that are well-suited to intimate seated dinners.

With a variety of upscale event menus to choose from, a carefully curated wine list and a superb handcrafted cocktail menu, all delivered with exceptional service, you are sure to wow your guests with your restaurant wedding reception.

Foodie Approved Fare for All

Of course, you want the food at your wedding reception to stand out and wow your guests, and it most definitely will when you choose a top-notch restaurant to host this most important party.

UP on the Roof in Greenville, SC, is known for seasonally inspired dishes that incorporate the flavors of the Upstate. The food is created with locally sourced ingredients whenever possible, and the restaurant is well known for its selection of award-winning handcrafted cocktails, artisan wines, and regional craft beers.

While Ruth’s Chris serves up traditional steakhouse favorites with a New Orleans flare, such as custom-aged Midwestern beef, fresh seafood and award-winning side dishes, you will find a variety of different menu items at UP on the Roof, from BBQ Beef Ribs to Coffee Spiced Bison Osso Bucco.

Whatever you choose, the food at either Ruth’s Chris or UP on the Roof are sure to please the bride and groom as well as any foodies on the guest list.

Top-Notch Service is a Given

Another wonderful benefit of hosting your wedding reception at restaurant is that you can observe the quality of the service before the big day. Any reputable restaurant should have a well trained and attentive staff; however, unlike some wedding venues, you can sit down to a meal at the restaurant of your choice before booking your reception and experience the quality of the service (and food) firsthand.

A Restaurant Venue Keeps Decorating Costs Down

Hosting your wedding reception at a restaurant allows you to choose a location with an ambiance that coincides with your personal style. This can be a wonderful benefit of a restaurant wedding reception because it can help you save quite a bit of cash when it comes to décor.

UP on the Roof features a warm industrial chic style with both outdoor terraces as well as an interior space featuring floor to ceiling windows, that afford breathtaking views of the Reedy River, the city of Greenville and beyond.

Our two Greenville Ruth’s Chris restaurants (Downtown and at I-385) offer an elegant traditional steakhouse atmosphere and a variety of private dining areas. Complete our Weddings Greenville contact form to learn more about any of our venues.
