FAQs

Question

When and where is the wedding/reception?

Answer

The wedding, cocktail hour, and reception will take place at Magnolia Plantation and Gardens. Magnolia Plantation and Gardens is located at 3550 Ashley River Road (On Route 61) in Charleston, South Carolina. Our wedding ceremony will take place outdoors on the Ashley River, set against a backdrop of century-old live oaks (weather permitting). Afterward, we'll move just steps from the marsh for our cocktail hour and reception at Magnolia's Carriage House.

Question

Where are you staying? What are my accommodation options?

Answer

Many of our guests are choosing to stay in rental houses on Folly Beach, which is about 30 minutes from our venue. If you’d prefer to stay a bit closer to the celebration, there are also great hotel options in downtown Charleston and the surrounding area. Please take a look at the Travel tab for a list of recommendations and choose whichever option suits you best!

Question

What is the dress code?

Answer

Garden cocktail and semi-formal attire! Questions? Check out the "garden" tab on this link for more information: https://www.marthastewart.com/7871616/wedding-guest-attire#toc-garden Join us for our outdoor wedding ceremony, weather permitting! Early April in Charleston is typically mild and sunny, so please dress comfortably for the open air. We'd love to see you in florals, bright hues, or soft pastels to capture the spirit of the Lowcountry!
