Q + A

Question

WHAT IS THE DRESS CODE?

Answer

The dress code for the wedding is Black Tie Preferred. We would encourage our gentlemen guests to wear a tuxedo or dark suit. For the women guests, a floor length gown and we are welcome to all colors.

Question

WHERE ARE THE CEREMONY AND RECEPTION TAKING PLACE?

Answer

The ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception will all be taking place at The Gibbes Museum of Art located at 135 Meeting Street in Downtown Charleston.

Question

WILL THERE BE PARKING AVAILABLE AT THE VENUE?

Answer

There is no parking available on-site and downtown Charleston is extremely limited in parking. We will be providing shuttles going to and from our preferred roomblock, the Courtyard Marriott Waterfront hotel, to ensure easy, reliable transportation! We strongly encourage utilizing this form of transportation. However, should you wish to drive to the venue there are two parking garages, the Cumberland Street Garage and ABM Parking Garage, located within walking distance. Please ensure that you allow yourself plenty of time before the ceremony to find parking, as this can be tricky in downtown Charleston!

Question

WHAT TIME DOES THE CEREMONY BEGIN

Answer

The Ceremony will begin promptly at 6 P.M. upstairs in the Rotunda of the Gibbes Museum. There is an elevator to the second floor to provide easy, safe accessibility . At 6 o'clock the doors will be closed and you will be unable to attend the actual ceremony. This will be strictly enforced. You will still be allowed to enjoy the reception- we just want to minimize distractions. Thank you so much for understanding!

Question

ARE CHILDREN WELCOME?

Answer

While we love your little ones and would love nothing more to dance the night away with them, to allow all of our guests, including parents, the chance to have an evening of relaxation, we request that the ceremony and reception be for adults only-with the exception of children in our immediate family. We encourage you to use this evening to have a fun date night!

Question

WILL THERE BE AN OPEN BAR?

Answer

Absolutely, drinks are on us! We want to encourage safe drinking and ask that nobody drinks and drives. Please take advantage of our provided shuttles or use ride-sharing services.

Question

CAN I BRING A PLUS ONE?

Answer

Due to limited venue capacity, we are unable to accommodate plus ones at our wedding unless specifically indicated on your envelope. We want everyone to share in the celebration and will ensure that folks will be around familiar and friendly company.

Question

IS SEATING RANDOM?

Answer

Nope! For the ceremony, please sit wherever you please. However, we will be carefully arranging tables so our guests are sat with those they know (or plus one or partner). We know weddings are a mixing pot of guests who may not know one another, and we want to ease any anxieties for guests who may be a bit more introverted. Hopefully, this can put some of you at ease!
