Events at Drayton Mills, a 34,800-square-foot indoor/outdoor event venue at the renovated textile mill on Spartanburg’s east side, celebrated its grand opening Thursday night.

Attendees toured the space and met with local vendors, including caterers, florists, bakers, photographers and event rental companies, according to a statement from the company.

The space is billed as a “premiere venue” for weddings, corporate gatherings and special events.

“At Drayton Mills, we are all about community, so we are incredibly proud to be able to offer such an amazing space for community events, family milestones and corporate gatherings,” TMS Development Managing Principal Tara Sherbert said in the statement. “We look forward to hosting Spartanburg’s most celebrated events and playing an even larger role in the fabric of this wonderful community.”

Events at Drayton Mills’ Great Hall can seat up to 300 and includes a cocktail lounge and private green rooms, the statement said.

The 8,800-square-foot indoor space includes a dance floor, catering kitchen and a fleet of mobile beverage stations. Elevated boardwalks, courtyards and covered gathering areas add an additional 6,000 square feet, and a 20,000-square-foot natural lawn is also available.

Holly Richter, program manager for Drayton Mills, said response and interest in Events at Drayton Mills ahead of the opening was “tremendous.”

“We can’t wait for even more people to see what Events at Drayton Mills has to offer,” Richter said in the statement. “We are an extremely versatile space, so we can accommodate larger and smaller events. And, of course, everything is set against the historic elegance of Drayton Mills.”
