OUR LOCATION
Nestled atop a wooded bluff overlooking the Catawba River, sits Brakefield, the newest and most enchanted venue for event hosting the area has to offer.
Brakefield is unlike any other stand-alone event venue in this region. With its old-world European warmth and sophisticated charm, the unique architectural design invokes a feeling of “home” while old- world décor gives the venue a slight medieval feel upon entry and throughout. We are located within Riverwalk – a 1000 acre live/work/play community in northern Rock Hill, South Carolina.
We offer the simplicity & convenience of hosting all your special occasions – from weddings, receptions and anniversary celebrations, to family reunions, cocktail parties and corporate retreats – in one stunning location.

Meet Your
EVENT TEAM
Hi there!
Welcome to the expansion of our beautiful Venue at the Brakefield at Riverwalk. I am thrilled at the prospect of collaborating with you. In the meantime, I'd like to introduce myself to you. My name is Erin Green, and I proudly serve as the Managing Partner for The Brakefield at Riverwalk. With over 25 years of experience in the hospitality industry, I have honed my skills across venue and restaurant operations facets.
Being a creator of lasting memories with photography, I am eager to continue crafting unforgettable experiences with my dear family. My wonderful husband Joe, my trusty handyman, and I have been happily married for 14 years. Our two delightful preteens, 11-year-old Laurel and 10-year-old Liam, make our home a place of joy and laughter. Additionally, we are blessed to have Peaches, our cherished rescued English Bulldog, who often joins me in the office. She is excited to make your acquaintance as well.
