FAQs

Question

Is any portion of the wedding outdoors?

Answer

The ceremony and cocktail hour are indoors. The seated dinner and dancing are outdoors in a covered, paved space of our venue’s garden. The average temperature for Charleston in late October is high 60s, low 70s.

Question

Are the ceremony and reception at the same location?

Answer

Yes! Our ceremony and reception will both be held at The Gibbes Museum of Art. When you arrive at the museum, please enter through the main doors on Meeting Street. The ceremony is upstairs in the Rotunda. Signage will direct you to the stairs and elevators. Our cocktail hour and reception will be downstairs.

Question

Answer

The dress code for the evening is black tie. We ask that gentlemen please wear a tuxedo or black suit, and ladies please wear a floor-length gown.

Question

What are the wedding colors?

Answer

Burgundy, forest green, sage green, and blush pink.

Question

Should I rent a car? What about venue transportation and parking?

Answer

Charleston is best explored on foot, and our venue is in the heart of downtown. Uber/Lyft is readily available for anything just out of walking distance. If you're planning day trips far out of downtown and are staying at a hotel with parking, you might consider a car rental. Please note that our venue, The Gibbes Museum, does not have any on-site parking. We encourage guests to use a ride share.

Question

Are children included?

Answer

Although we adore the children of our family and friends, we kindly ask that they stay home for the evening. We appreciate your understanding! Please let us know if you need assistance finding childcare in Charleston.

Question

May I bring a guest?

Answer

If your invitation is addressed to you and a guest, you are welcome to bring a plus one. Otherwise, we are unable to accommodate an additional guest. If you have a special circumstance you’d like to discuss with the bride and groom, please do not hesitate to reach out.
