INQUIRE
From a candy store to an event venue…
Surcee’s is a historic Charleston landmark with a legacy of hospitality. Once a 19th-century candy shop, it later became Upstairs at Midtown, hosting over 1,000 celebrations. In 2010, we reimagined the space, expanding while preserving its charm. Now, Surcee’s blends historic allure with modern elegance, offering a refined setting for unforgettable events.

My husband and I chose Surcee’s for our wedding day, and we could not have chosen a more perfect setting and team to help bring our dreams to reality. Kathleen and Sofie made the entire process as stress-free as possible. The food was INCREDIBLE, my guests are still raving about it! The venue itself is absolutely stunning and doesn't need much to be beautiful, it was the perfect!

We loved the venue so much and were so impressed by the 5-star reviews, we booked before even seeing the place! It was exactly the vibe we wanted for a smaller wedding. They were so attentive and responsive, and the food was excellent. They even championed rain through our vows and transitioned to an indoor event without me even noticing. Our bellies, and hearts, were very full when we left. You CANNOT beat this venue.

The ladies at Surcee’s are all very friendly and great to work with. They helped us put together a great alumni event with food and bar service. The venue is in a great location downtown, with a nice rooftop deck, but also plenty of room inside in case the weather is bad. The price was more affordable than many options in town. If I have another event to plan in Charleston, they'll be my first call!

Kathleen is amazing and so is Surcee’s. Sophisticated yet comfortable, chic yet homey. She took care of every detail for my daughter’s birthday celebration. We arranged the entire party via phone and email. I can't say enough about how wonderful the food, service, ambience and beverages were. Surcee’s is a 10. I was so pleased to have found this gem!

We could have not asked for a better experience! The staff, service, and food were beyond comparison. Sofie and Maddie made everything so easy and stress free. The service was white glove and exceptional. The food was "the BEST wedding food ever” according to our guests. They really know how to make you feel special.

The venue is gorgeous. It's intimate, historical, charming, and is a great blank slate to make it your own. We loved having the outdoor rooftop and market lights! The Surcee’s and KSHG team were outstanding. I think almost every single person that attended our event raved about the food! The staff was wonderful, the service was wonderful, the setting was wonderful - seriously an all together wonderful team, space and evening!
