Located on the water, guests enjoyed sunset views of the Ravenel Bridge and the Charleston waterways during the party. Alhambra’s history begins all the way back in 1847, when Charles Jugnot and Oliver Hillard created Hort’s Grove, a quaint picnic spot by the water. 90 years later, Alhambra Hall was constructed for the town to use for events and entertainment. The Guests Laughter and music filled the atmosphere throughout the party, and guests savored the entertainment and fun. Susie Molony, owner of Southern Belles, plus some of her staff all enjoyed the evening, and she offered to share her memories: “Two members of my staff and I thoroughly enjoyed the 2021 Mount Pleasant Magazine’s Best of Party at the beautiful Alhambra Hall. Not only was the setting breathtakingly beautiful, the live music and food vendors added so much to the festive atmosphere. I especially enjoyed getting a rare chance to meet and socialize with other business owners. We met some new ones and saw some old business acquaintances we rarely get a chance to see. It’s kind of like a ‘family reunion,’ getting to celebrate each other’s accomplishments and appreciate the recognition from a locally owned publication that does so much for small businesses and good causes.”
