Charleston

We are so excited and honored that you have chosen to spend your weekend with us in this gorgeous city!

We decided to host our wedding on a holiday weekend in order to give you all at least a few days to spend making memories of your own in the city that we love.  Take a trip to Battery Park and explore the waterfront in a horse drawn carriage. Stop in the many shops on King Street or pick up an authentic sweetgrass basket from one of the vendors on Market Street.  Spend a few hours soaking up the sun on Isle of Palms or Sullivan’s Island. Spend a day golfing at any of the pristine courses in the area. Take a tour of a historic plantation. Grab a plate of fried green tomatoes and drink sweet tea at Slightly North of Broad.  The possibilities are endless.  The city’s warm and hospitable embrace will make it hard to leave!
