At minimum, we recommend reserving Thursday, May 4th and Friday, May 5th. Many family and friends are planning to stay for the week to enjoy Charleston and Kiawah Island.
The kiddos are not invited to our wedding, alas. They are, however, welcomed and encouraged to join the welcome party and beach hang. Kiawah is family friendly and they will love it.
You can drive to the venue, however, we will provide a bus service and if you plan to indulge in our craft cocktails, we strongly prefer you climb aboard.
You could say our dress code is semi-formal but it would be more accurately described as a bohemian garden party meets groovy disco. Extra points will be awarded to guests who embrace color and texture. Note that the vows and reception will be hosted outdoors and you should leave the stilettos at home. Feel free to join the bride by going barefoot. Lowcountry weather in May could be a breezy 70 degrees or steamy 90. The dance floor will be smokin' and breathable fabrics are recommended. OHHHHHWEEE.
The welcome party will be hosted at Papa Bronzo's golf club and jeans are not permitted. We recommend a sun dress or slacks. Golf shorts and polo shirts are totally acceptable.
To our fellow celiacs and lactose intolerant brethren, you're in safe hands. If you have another dietary restriction, you will be fed and given a hug. Please share your dietary restrictions with us via your RSVP.
We are taking a page out of Kiawah Island's guide to answer this one: Kiawah Island is home to a wide variety of birds, animals, and plants. The following is a simple list of things you can do to help protect our island wildlife and the environment: Stay out of bird nesting areas and the dunes, walk around groups of shorebirds on the beach, drive cautiously on the island, especially at dawn and dusk, keep your dog on a leash (Ask Mike about off-leash areas), DO NOT APPROACH, FEED OR HARASS ALLIGATORS, do not approach, feed, or harass all other wildlife
Yes, we highly recommend making these reservations early.
Yes, we recommend renting a car because Ubers and cabs are not available on the island. Car rentals and returns should be arranged from the Charleston Airport. We use https://www.autoslash.com/.
