The dress code for our wedding is semi-formal. Ladies should wear dresses and men should wear a suit or sports coat. Our ceremony will take place on grass and our reception will be mostly outside on a covered patio & porch, with grassy and gravel areas. Therefore, you may want to leave your stilettos at home!
The ceremony will be outside (unless rain forces us indoors) and the reception will mostly be outdoors on a covered patio/porch, but there is a house on site that is accessible for all.
The ceremony venue is on the Stono River and the reception venue has a pond without fencing. In addition, the venue has an upstairs porch that does not allow children due to liability. Due to the venues restrictions, we ask that you try to make separate arrangements for kids the night of the wedding.
The ceremony will take place in the grass overlooking the water. The reception is wheelchair and handicapped accessible. There is a large handicapped accessible bathroom under the house and also a ramp on the side of the house. Parking will be in grass and there is a gravel driveway.
Our dinner will be served in stations. It will include a mac and cheese station, collard greens, and waffles available that are vegetarian. Other choices include chicken and waffles and a prime rib station. Late night snack will be bite sized pizzas.
