Question
Can I bring a date?
Answer
Unfortunately, we have a strict guest list (50 people) due to venue size. Our celebration is strictly RSVP only. We will only be able to accommodate those listed on your wedding invitation.
Question
Are kids welcome?
Answer
While we love your little ones, our wedding will be an adults-only event so that everyone can relax and enjoy the evening. We appreciate you making arrangements ahead of time and leaving the kids at home so you can celebrate with us.
Question
Are the ceremony and reception location wheelchair accessible?
Answer
The venue is not wheelchair accessible. There is one flight of stairs that separates the ceremony/reception and dinner. Assistance will be available for those who need it.
Question
What is Garden attire?
Answer
We encourage you to embrace the Charleston style! It typically falls somewhere between a semi-formal dress code and cocktail attire, with breezy silhouettes and pastel colors. Garden party attire for men generally consists of a semi-formal suit, a dress shirt, and a tie if you wish. Although the ceremony and reception will be inside, please consider the warm Charleston weather.
Question
Are there other wedding events I can attend?
Answer
Yes! We will be having a welcome party on the evening of Thursday, May 1st at Bodega CHS from 6:00-9:00pm. Appetizers and a taco bar will be served. Bodega is a 7 min walk (0.3 miles) from Marion Square. There will also be a harbor cruise on Saturday, May 3rd at 3:00pm. We can accommodate anyone who is interested in attending. Please text Monica or Ned if your RSVP for the boat changes.
Question
Is there transportation to and from the hotels to the venue?
Answer
There will not be transportation provided to the venue. Parcel 32 is located centrally in Downtown Charleston on King Street. We highly recommend staying at the Francis Marion or hotels near Marion Square as it is less than a 5 minute walk to the venue.
