Karate can be practiced as an art, as a sport, as a combat sport, or as self defense training. Traditional karate places emphasis on self development. Modern Japanese style training emphasizes the psychological elements incorporated into a proper kokoro (attitude) such as perseverance, fearlessness, virtue, and leadership skills. Sport karate places emphasis on exercise and competition. Weapons is important training activity in some styles.

Corley Mill House & Garden is already very well known as being one of the premier venues for weddings and formal events in South Carolina. But have you considered us for that annual corporate productivity seminar, which for the past few years has found its home in your companies main warehouse? Tricked out with painful folding chairs of dubious support capacity and badly beaten rented tables clothed midway to the floor in plastic party supply store linens, drafty ,dank and depressing your beloved employees sit restlessly amid the companies silent inventory wondering where it all went wrong. Or how about that investor meeting that is always inexplicably held in the same old windowless ballroom buried deep in that nondescript hotel on the side of the interstate. Where the only thing crueler than the lighting is the coffee, and perhaps that unforgivable platter of…pastries, are they calling them? It doesn’t have to be this way.

Is there something inherently evil about those people in the HR departments of America that cause them to lash out in this way, wielding venues as their weapons of choice? Surely the corporate office wouldn’t willingly wish this experiment in anti-hospitality on a loyal work force already weary with the day to day trials of the modern business world… would they?

Of course not. We believe the solution becomes clear by simply thinking out side of the box, that proverbial prison of hotel event spaces, convention centers and on-site common areas are not the only options.

We are certain your employees will agree that Corley Mill House & Garden is the ideal alternative to those uninspiring traditional business venues. For fifteen years we have provided unsurpassed service to hundreds of clients and thousands of their guests earning a time tested reputation of grace and charm befitting such an historic and elegant grand old southern home.

We strive for mastery in the art of hospitality, whether it be in our fresh baked pastries made completely from scratch or the perfectly laid tables linens fresh and crisp and welcoming to our guests. We work tirelessly to assure that every detail is seen to so that  you are able to focus clearly on the business of your business.

Our team of chefs & cooks are well trained and passionate about their craft and this passion is clearly evident in every dish we serve. We can provide a simple continental breakfast for your associates as they arrive complete with our signature chicory brewed coffee. Or if you prefer a hearty Southern board laid out with house cured bacon, locally prepared artisan sausage, Herbed frittata with herbs grown in our kitchen garden and fresh baked breakfast pastries from our own ovens. We can offer a light break midmorning of fruit & house baked granola with honey & vanilla yogurt to re invigorate you and your colleges. For lunch perhaps a Chicken roulade stuffed with Gruyere cheese and local sweet peppers with a delightful mustard Riesling sauce or maybe a more casual and traditional South Carolina barbeque with all the fixings. We brine and smoke whole shoulders in a 17 hour process that produces a pulled pork unlike any you’ve ever had.

While we feel we are unmatched in stunning hospitality we have also become quite adept in the ways of I.T.. We know that there are challenges and requirements unique to the provence of business gatherings and corporate events. We have met these requirements while adhering to the same principles of style and care that we bring to our most elegant functions. Our facility features a large great room in addition to many smaller areas for groups to break off to. We have a state of the art house-wide sound system with mic support inside and in the gardens. Our entire facility is equipped with high speed wireless internet access, and our enormous wall mounted plasma screen makes powerpoint presentations come alive. In addition to these amenities we have tech support available to you on-site at all times.

Simply put we marry the best elements of unsurpassed hospitality, culinary innovation & technological expertise to create a calming and serene back-drop that so perfectly sets the stage for whatever embarrassing “Team building exercises” that those wickedly devious ladies of HR have been concocting all year.

Don’t hesitate to call us for a free consultation and proposal, let us take care of everything so that you can take care of your business.
