Columbia’s fun street market every Saturday morning! There’s plenty of small businesses and great food right in downtown Columbia. 9am-1pm
Columbia has one of the best zoos in the southeast, so definitely worth a visit if you or a family member loves to live on the wild side! The sea lion exhibit and the penguin exhibit are Emily’s favorites. Open daily 9am-5pm
No frills burgers, fried chicken, & shakes. Also the best fries in Columbia if you get them fresh!
Columbia Famous burgers/ice cream/fried chicken shop. Has a cult following. The West Columbia location is the original if you want to visit, but this one is closer to the wedding venue!
Indie coffee/brew house. Super cool vibe and great place to work or just chill.
Coffee shop/local coffee roaster run by a mission that partners with Emily’s family church. Great coffee, great cause! The 1888 roast for coffee beans is Emily’s dad’s favorite!
You are most welcome to attend Emily’s church growing up! Service is at 10:30. You will probably see some familiar faces after Saturday night!
Beautiful walk along the Broad River, where Saluda and Congaree join. Explore the pump house and keep an eye out for wildlife like turtles, herons, and river otters.
