If your invitation says "and Guest" then yes, please do! Otherwise, we'd prefer if it was just you. The names listed on the envelope of the invitation are the people we've asked to join us.
We do! Please book your room by using the following link: https://reservations.travelclick.com/76320?groupID=3226008#/guestsandrooms (you need to copy/paste the link into your browser) If you need other accommodations please check out the Travel page on our site, Air BnB, or Vrbo.
Our ceremony is Adults-Only but we'd love to dance with your little ones at the reception! If you'd prefer a night off for yourself, we've booked babysitters to accommodate your night out. There is free childcare available on site for our guests where snacks and entertainment will be provided.
Yes! There is parking available in the Francis Marion garage located at 399 King Street, as well as valet parking for guests staying at the Francis Marion Hotel. The parking garage charges a rate of $1 per half hour or $18 for the whole day. If you choose to valet your car during your stay at the Francis Marion Hotel, this rate is $28 per day and you're welcome to come and go as you please. If neither of these options are available to you, there is plenty of street parking but we personally recommend finding the next closest parking garage because the meters are very closely monitored. Apple Maps and Google Maps are great for this- just search "Parking"! Here's a link with more specific information for anyone who may want it (please copy/paste into your browser): https://www.charleston-sc.gov/1025/Parking-Information
Vaccines are not required however we do believe that getting vaccinated & boosted will help to protect you and the ones you love from getting sick, as well as to slow the spread of Covid. We want to “get back to normal” as much as you. Please help us get there by getting vaccinated or wearing a mask if, for any reason, you choose not to get vaccinated.
As this is an indoor event with lots of people, masks are encouraged. We realize most people are “over it” but if you’re unvaccinated, please be responsible and mask up.
Yes, of course! The Cookie Table is engrained into our Yinzer DNA as much as the colors black and gold. What is a cookie table? Well, I think the creatives at Pink Posies & Pearls said it best: “The Cookie Table is as much of Pittsburgh culture as Heinz Ketchup and Primanti Bros. Many outsiders don’t see the need for cake and cookies, but we know you need both. The cookies are homemade by mothers, grandmas, sisters, aunts, cousins, and friends because the Cookie Table is a gift of love. No one knows the exact origin of the tradition, which has been exported to other parts of Pennsylvania and surrounding states. In Pittsburgh, people don’t ask ‘how was the wedding?’ They ask, 'how were the cookies?’” — King Street Cookies is generously providing a selection of cookies for our Table, however Mike and I encourage you to contribute your very own batch of love-filled cookies to help make our day that much sweeter. Please bring them with you to the reception and place on the table.
If you're staying in downtown Charleston, most attractions off of the peninsula can be reached in about 15-25 minutes and nearly anything in downtown proper is easily accessible by foot if you're willing to take a short walk.
You are certainly welcome to drive, however be aware that parking is rarely free. Most of the inexpensive parking is off of the main drag, however there are free shuttles all over town (DASH), bike shares, pedicabs, and Uber/Lyfts readily available. Ashley and Mike recommend walking as much as possible to take in the sights of Charleston and explore at your leisure. Most of Historic Downtown can be covered by foot in an afternoon. * Pay extra mind to the sidewalks! Our city is very old and so is the pavement!! You can find the free DASH shuttle schedule here: https://www.ridecarta.com/services/dash/ If you prefer to stay active but get around quickly, you may want to utilize Holy Spokes. Holy Spokes is a local bike share. Rates begin at $8 per hour or you may purchase a day pass for $20. Learn more here: https://charlestonbikeshare.com/
