Things to Do

The Battery

Fort Sumter National Monument
If you have spare time before or after the wedding, Fort Sumter is a great place to visit but you will need a car to visit if you are staying Downtown. Fort Sumter is an incomplete sea fort at the mouth of Charleston Harbor, South Carolina, where the battle that sparked the American Civil War took place.
Charleston City Market
The Charleston City Market, established in the 1790s, is a historic market complex and one of the nation's oldest public markets, located in downtown Charleston, South Carolina.
King Street
This street is home to some of the city’s most luxurious stores, restaurants, and hotels. Hotel Bennett is on King Street so guests will be able to enjoy it as a part of the wedding but there will be time between the Ceremony and Reception to walk down it.
Waterfront Park Pier
Also known as The Vendue Wharf, this pier offers panoramic views of Charleston Harbor, the Ravenel Bridge, and Fort Sumter, and features amenities like sheltered swings, picnic tables, and shaded areas. Lit up at night, the fountain is a favorite photo-op for visitors of all seasons, and is arguably one of the most photographed landmarks along the waterfront.
