Although we love your children, our wedding is an adults only event. We would love for you to use this as a 'parents night out.' It is important to us to give all our guests the opportunity to celebrate without having to worry about little eyes and ears around.
Invitations will be specific and include the names of each invited guest or will indicate the ability to bring a plus one. Please only bring a plus one if this is indicated on your invitation, as we will have a set number of seats saved.
Since the wedding venue is in a central location in Downtown Charleston, there will not be transportation provided. We encourage taking a pedi cab or scheduling an Uber/Lyft ahead of time. If you would like to use a pedicab, you can reach them at: 843. 577. 7088!
Thursday night Rehearsal/Welcome Party - There is a parking lot available for parking very close by if you choose to drive! It is walkable! Otherwise, we recommend using Uber or Lyft. Friday night Ceremony/Reception - There is not a parking lot for William Aiken House guests, but there are sometimes street parking and nearby parking lots open (Radcliffe St). We highly recommend utilizing Uber, Lyft, or scheduling a Pedicab due to lack of free parking.
If you are flying in for our wedding weekend, we encourage that you fly in and out of CHS (Charleston International Airport). This is the closest airport to the event locations for all of the festivities!
