Things To Do
Falls Park on the Reedy
If you are staying in Greenville or decide to check it out, go to Falls Park on the Reedy. While you’re there you can walk around the downtown shops and view scenery (Reedy River runs through Greenville).
Upcountry History Museum
If you want to learn more about South Carolina history and culture.
Table Rock State Park
It’s where the reception will be! The reception will be in the lodge, but there is an entire park to explore. You can even hike to Table Rock—the park’s namesake (an 8 mile hike round-trip).
Fred W. Symmes Chapel
Also known as Pretty Place Chapel, this is where the ceremony will be. When the chapel is not reserved for weddings, it is open to the public and a beautiful place to visit and worship.
Swamp Rabbit Trail
A 20-mile biking/running/walking trail connecting Traveler’s Rest, SC to Greenville, SC
Raven Cliff Falls Trailhead
There are MANY hiking trails in the area, and this is one option—a flat, 2.2 mile (one-way) hike on the road that takes you to the wedding chapel
Caesar's Head Overlook
You can stop here on the way to or from the Ceremony venue on Highway 276 for good views
Furman University
If you’re in to beautiful historic college campuses
Henry's Smokehouse
Make sure you have Southern BBQ. It doesn’t have to be this restaurant—they’re all good :)
Tandem Creperie and Coffeehouse
Cute cafe in Travelers Rest, SC, the closest mid-size town to the venues
Asheville
If you want to stay in a town a little farther from the wedding venue but more touristy, check out Asheville, NC in the heart of the Appalachian mountains. You can drive along the Blue Ridge Parkway (or get to Great Smoky Mountains Natl Park in under two hours), go on a City Comedy Tour, or visit the Biltmore Estate.
David's Outdoors Recommendations
If you've feeling outdoorsy, travel to nearby Lake Jocassee and rent kayaks to tour South Carolina's most beautiful upstate lake. Bonus points if you can make it to one of the waterfalls! If hiking is more your thing, travel to Linville Gorge, also known as the Grand Canyon of the East. Drive up the dirt roads to Wiseman's View or Table Rock Summit Trail, or (pro-tip) hike up the Shortoff Mountain Trail from Wolf Pit Trailhead for STUNNING views of the upstate and the gorge.
