What is the dress code?

Black tie is preferred for the wedding: tuxedos, evening gowns, and your most polished attire. We can’t wait to see everyone dressed to the nines! For Friday, cocktail attire is requested: suits or dress pants with a button-down shirt, and dresses, jumpsuits, or dressy separates.

​

Where are the events located?

All wedding-day festivities will be at the Gibbes Museum of Art in the heart of downtown Charleston. For more information about the wedding weekend and related events, please visit the Details page.

 

When should I arrive in Charleston?

If you can, come in Friday morning or early afternoon. It gives you time to get settled, wander a bit, and ease into the weekend before the Friday evening festivities begin.

 

How do I get from the airport to downtown?

Charleston International Airport (CHS) is about 20 minutes away. Taxis, rideshares, and rental cars are all easy to grab once you land.

 

Is transportation provided on the wedding day?

Everything is happening at the Gibbes Museum, which is an easy walk from our recommended hotels. Parking downtown—especially near the museum—can be tight and pricey, so if you’re not within walking distance, we’d recommend a quick rideshare.

 

What is the weather like in late October?

Late October in Charleston is usually pretty perfect: mild days in the low 70s and cooler evenings. A light layer for nighttime is a good idea.

 

Where should I stay?

You’ll find recommended hotels on the Travel page.

Charleston has endless options at all price points, from boutique hotels to historic inns to great Airbnbs. The places we’ve listed are simply a snapshot of nearby, walkable choices. Feel free to explore and pick whatever feels right for your weekend.

 

What should I do in Charleston during free time?

Head to our For Fun section. It’s full of favorite coffee shops, restaurants, museums, gardens, and little local gems.

 

How can I get around Charleston?

Downtown is wonderfully walkable. For anything longer, rideshares are abundant. Parking can be tricky, so we recommend leaving the car at the hotel when you can.

​

Will children be invited?

While we love your little ones, we have chosen to keep our celebration adults-only, with the exception of a few children participating in the wedding. We are so grateful for your understanding and cannot wait to celebrate together!
