Cocktail hour will immediately follow the ceremony on the mezzanine, where drinks and passed hors d'oeuvres will make the rounds for our guests. The reception is a sit down dinner in the Gold Ballroom with an open bar, music, and dancing.

Wear your beachy best
Weather and hangovers permitting, we would love for anyone and everyone to join us for a relaxing day on the sands of Folly Beach. Bring snacks and water in a cooler, inconspicuous beverage containers if you plan on indulging in a hair of the dog, a couple of towels, and whatever else you'd like to make your afternoon more relaxing. You'll find us posted up at Third Street E & Fourth Street E on the beach. Bathrooms have recently been installed near several major walkways near the beach as well as showers for you to rinse the sand away. If you're not sure about snacks, feel free to stop by Bert's Market located at 202 E Ashley Ave right here on Folly Island, within walking distance to the beach. Ashley recommends the spicy chicken sandwich- it's like the kind you'd get in the high school cafeteria and it's absolutely perfect. Please note, there is NO GLASS allowed on the beach and you MUST pick up your litter.
