FAQs

Question

When should I plan to arrive in Charleston?

Answer

Since we have events on both Thursday and Friday, we recommend arriving by Thursday afternoon so you can join us at the welcome reception at the The Bar & Patio at Husk from 5:00–7:00 PM. It's the perfect way to kick off the weekend before the big day!

Question

What airport should I fly into?

Answer

We recommend flying into Charleston International Airport (CHS), which is about 12 miles from Hotel Emeline - roughly a 15–20 minute drive. The easiest way to get to the hotel is by Uber or Lyft, which typically runs $35–$40. Taxis are also available at the airport. If you're considering a rental car, keep in mind that Charleston's historic district is very walkable and most of our recommended hotels are close to everything - you may not need one!

Question

Where should I stay?

Answer

We have a room block reserved at Hotel Emeline, right where the wedding is taking place - 181 Church St, Charleston, SC 29401. You can book using our dedicated link: https://book.passkey.com/e/51232314. We recommend booking early as rooms will go quickly. If Hotel Emeline is sold out or you're looking for other options, we also recommend these nearby hotels, all within walking distance of the venue: The Ryder Hotel - 237 Meeting St, Charleston, SC 29401 Mills House - 115 Meeting St, Charleston, SC 29401 Courtyard by Marriott Charleston Historic District - 125 Calhoun St, Charleston, SC 29401
