Limited parking is available at Sacred Heart Church for weddings. Weddings on Saturdays are able to use the school parking lot. Parking at The Longshoreman Building on the corner of Congress and King may be used for parking. Street parking on Congress Street and Benson Street is also available for parking for wedding guests. We recommend carpooling as well as arriving to the ceremony early to scout for a parking spot as this may be challenging!
The attire for the wedding is Cocktail Attire! In other words, suits or sports coats with ties for the men and midi length dresses or jumpsuits for the women. September in Charleston can still experience warm/hot weather so please plan accordingly.
The distance from the ceremony venue to the reception is about 25 minutes depending on traffic.
Our ceremony will be held inside at Sacred Heart Catholic Church downtown. The cocktail hour/reception will be held at the Cotton Dock at Boone Hall Plantation. The reception will be partially indoors and outdoors. The Cotton Dock has no air conditioning so please dress accordingly!
There will be a two hour intermission in between the ceremony and cocktail hour. We highly recommend either spending time exploring Charleston, grabbing a snack or cocktail at a local bar, or returning to your hotel room or Airbnb to freshen up and drop off cars before heading over to Boone Hall! Please visit the Things To Do page for our favorite spots to explore in Charleston.
As much as we would love to include everyone, we can't due to space restrictions. Therefore, we ask that unless specifically listed on your wedding invitation, please refrain from bringing a plus one. Thank you for your understanding!
We politely request that unless you are apart of the bride or groom's immediate family, no children attend the ceremony and reception. Take the night off and leave the little ones at home! Thank you in advance for understanding.
