FAQs
Question
What is the attire?
Answer
Cocktail attire- midi or maxi dresses for women and suits for men. In keeping with the theme of our wedding, The Joy of the Lord, we’re encouraging bright and 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 40s to 70s, so please plan layers accordingly.
Question
What time should I arrive at 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.
Question
When is the RSVP deadline?
Answer
Please RSVP by October 30th! We’re so excited to celebrate with you! Due to planning details, we may not be able to guarantee a spot if we don’t hear from you by then. Whether you’re able to attend or not, we ask that you please take a moment to RSVP by the deadline.
Question
Can I bring a date?

Question
Are children invited?
Answer
We absolutely love the little ones, but this will be an adults-only celebration (with the exception of our sweet flower girls). Thank you for understanding and we can’t wait to celebrate with you!

Question
Are guests allowed to take photos during the ceremony?
Answer
To honor the intimacy of this moment, we’re having an unplugged ceremony. We kindly ask that you silence and put away all phones and cameras. Our incredible photo and video team will be capturing everything, and we hope you'll join us in being fully present for this special beginning.
