FAQs
Question
What is the dress code?
Answer
Cocktail attire- think midi or long dresses for women and suits for men (ties not required). In keeping with the theme of our wedding, The Joy of the Lord, we’re encouraging bright, cheerful colors to reflect the celebration of this joyful day. The ceremony and cocktail hour will be held outdoors, so block heels or other comfortable shoes are recommended. December weather in Charleston can range from the 50s to 70s, so please plan layers accordingly.
Question
When should guests arrive for the ceremony?
Answer
Please plan to arrive at Middleton Place by 3:00 to be seated by 3:15 PM. The ceremony will begin promptly at 3:30 PM. It takes about 10–15 minutes to walk from the parking area to the ceremony location, so we encourage guests to arrive with enough time to enjoy the beautiful walk through the grounds. If you are unable to walk that distance or would prefer assistance, we will have a golf cart available to transport guests to the ceremony site- just let one of the attendants know upon arrival.

When is the RSVP deadline?
