Things To Do
Aromas Uptown Coffee
Great place for coffee! Right across the street from the Inn on the Square.
The Bakery on Main
This is a new bakery in Greenwood, and it's just a quick jaunt from the Inn on the Square. Coffee is great, too.
The Mill House
Great place for lunch and/or dinner. Fantastic pizza and known for good beer. Connected to Good Times, a popular brewery.
Dixie Drive In
A personal favorite of Caroline's. Old fashioned diner with a simple menu. Great spot for a quick, timeless lunch.
Cheeseburger House
This place has been around since BC. Famous in these parts. It looks like a rundown hut that might fit one table, but don't be fooled. Excellent burgers (and supposedly, wings). It's a drive but would make for a very fun memory!
Howard's On Main
Great place for a sandwich. At night, it's one of Greenwood's better bars.
Break on the Lake
This would be a haul for anyone staying in town, but if you decided to get an AirBNB on Lake Greenwood, this would be a great place for lunch (or dinner). They sometimes have live music.
Pascal's Cafe & Grill
One of Greenwood's more upscale dining options, and a personal favorite of the Newlon family. If it's not too cold, book a spot on the porch. Make sure to make a reservation well ahead of time!
Capri's Italian of Greenwood
A great dinner spot if you like Italian cuisine.
La Hacienda
Caroline's biggest "Hear Me Out." Greenwood's La Hacienda has gone viral on social media countless times for their marketing. Plus, the food is fantastic and the margaritas are massive. Would be an excellent Friday night move.
Montague's Restaurant
Another favorite of Caroline's. The drinks are great and they sometimes have live music. A very old fashioned, moody bar with regular restaurant seating in the back. I would recommend making a reservation well ahead of time.
Thayers Gifts and Home Decor
The owner of this store is a dear family friend. The Wilson family and Caroline's family have been connected for generations, with deep roots in Greenwood. Thayers is a lovely shop and the perfect place to find something special to take home with you. Located downtown, just a short walk from the Inn on the Square.
David Lindsey Clothier
One of Caroline's favorites and owned by a dear family friend. Founded as a men's boutique, it now has lots of items for women, too! A quick walk from the Inn on the Square.
Blossom Shoes & Such
One of Caroline's favorite stores in Greenwood. Shoes, shoes, shoes! And lovely purses, and other fun things to take back home with you!
Sugar Boutique
Sugar is a fun place to stop and shop. Typically has an excellent selection of dresses and other cute clothing items! Also just a short walk from Inn on the Square.
Mary Frances Limited
This precious store is a lady's boutique with lots of cute finds. Another quick skip from the Inn on the Square.
Elam Jayne
Another popular Greenwood boutique located downtown.

Question
When should I RSVP by?
Answer
November 5, 2026
Question
Will there be space in the church for everyone?
Answer
The sanctuary only sits 230 people, so we are expecting to make use of overflow space. If you prefer to sit in the sanctuary, please plan to get to the church early on Saturday to secure your seat. We ask that everyone please scooch in nice and tight in the pews so we can fit as many guests as possible.

What time should I arrive at the ceremony?
Answer
We suggest arriving at 4:30pm to get parked & seated before the processional begins. If you arrive after 5pm, the doors will be locked and you can enter after the bride walks down the aisle.

Are kids welcome?
Answer
No, adults only please (with the exception of those whose children were included on the invitations).

Yes, there is plenty of parking for ceremony and reception. Valet will be provided at the reception.
