The Habersham Marketplace recently welcomed Jamie Leigh Wildridge and The Green Room to its village of restaurants, retail shops and services. The Green Room will be home to receptions, birthdays, bridal showers, anniversaries and special events, including afternoon tea.
A grand opening celebration, complete with a ribbon cutting ceremony with the Beaufort Regional Chamber of Commerce, will be held Friday, September 2, at 5:30 p.m. during the Marketplace’s First Fridays event. Attendees will be able to take a tour of the space and sample some of The Green Room’s activities and offerings, complete with live music and a drawing to win an entertainment package worth over $500.
The Green Room, named for an area where entertainers gather before performing, aims to bring ambiance, music and food harmoniously together for all of its events. Weather permitting, The Green Room will utilize its Zen Garden, located just outside the shop front, as part of its event space.
“Combining my expertise of event planning and entertainment in conjunction with my experience in catering is a dream come true” says Wildridge.  “The Green Room will also work to compliment The Habersham Marketplace’s lush landscaping and eco-friendly reputation.”
Wildridge, a four-year Beaufort area resident, is also owner of Drysdale Entertainment — a company that provides musical talent throughout the Southeast.  She has spent the last 15 years coordinating events and providing entertainment for weddings, concerts and special events.  Wildridge has also served as a Catering Director for a resort in Colorado.
The Habersham Marketplace is located at 13 Market St., located off of Joe Frazier Road in Beaufort. For more information visit www.habershammarketplace.com
