Formal events begin Friday evening with the Welcome Party; however, the Rasmussen sisters' band, Good English, will be playing a show on Thursday night, and all are welcome!
Our ceremony begins at 5:30, so guests should arrive between 5:00 and 5:15.
October in South Carolina is usually still warm; however, evenings can get a bit chillier. Weather permitting, the ceremony will be outside on the green behind the golf club. Dinner will be inside, with dancing outside on the veranda and lawn. Be sure to bring a light jacket or shawl in case it dips below 65 at night!
Please RSVP no later than September 1st!
Driving - Every part of our wedding day is less than five minutes away, making driving a very easy option! You are welcome to drive your personal car to The Port Royal Golf Club, The Westin for the after-party, and home. Parking is readily available at both locations. Shuttle Service - A shuttle service will be available for the wedding ceremony and reception via the Westin Hotel shuttle. If you would like to utilize the shuttle to get to the ceremony, pickup will be at The Westin Hotel front doors from 4:30 until 5:15. The shuttle also will run guests to the after-party at the Westin beginning at 10pm. For those attending the after-party and staying in Port Royal Village, Folly Field, and Port Royal residences, the Westin shuttle also will be available for rides home at the end of the night starting at 11:00 p.m. and running until 1:00 a.m. If you drive to the ceremony and decide to shuttle to the after-party, you can even pick up your car at the Port Royal Golf Club on Sunday! Ubers/Taxi Service - If you choose to use an Uber or taxi service, please make your arrangements ahead of time. Ubers are particularly difficult to get without scheduling.
