What is the dress code?
This is a formal event and we would love to see our family and friends dress up with us! We ask that you come to the wedding dressed in your best black-tie attire. For women, this includes formal midi or full length dresses. For men, tuxedos and suits would be appropriate. Please do not wear colors that are traditionally reserved for the bride (white, ivory, cream, etc).
Please see the following link for more detail and examples:

What time should I arrive at the venue?
Please arrive by 5 pm to Boone Hall Plantation. We do plan to have our ceremony in front of the main driveway, so if you are not there in time, you will be asked to wait until the ceremony is over to come up the driveway. Please plan to arrive early!
Will there be transportation to the venue?
There will be transportation for our guests to get to and from the venue. Buses will pick up from the following hotels at 4:30 pm: The Palmetto, The Francis Marion, Hampton Inn Charleston-Historic District, and Hilton Garden Inn Charleston / Mt. Pleasant. PLEASE NOTE THERE WILL BE NO PICK UP FROM THE CHARLESTON PLACE, this is a change from our invite. Buses will take guests back to their hotel at 10:30 pm. If you do not plan to stay at any of the hotels, you can get an uber/ride to one of the hotels so that you can take the bus to and from the venue. You may also uber or drive to the venue.
Will the wedding be indoors or outdoors?
Our ceremony will take place outside, and the reception will be inside and outside. The ceremony and reception locations are just a walk away from each other, but there will be golf carts for those who need transportation. April weather can be somewhat in between, so please check the weather and dress accordingly!
Are children invited?
As much as we love our kiddos, this is an adult-only celebration. We hope you take this opportunity as a much-deserved parent's night out and we appreciate you making prior arrangements!
Am I allowed to bring a plus one?
We unfortunately cannot accommodate additional guests. Due to limited space, we are only able to allow those guests formally invited on your wedding invitation. Your invitation will be made out to " {Your Name} & Guest " if a plus one has been given to you.
Can I park at the venue?
Yes, there is plenty of parking at the venue! When you arrive, let the person at the gate that you are there for the wedding and they will direct you where to park.
When/what will we eat?
Cocktail hour will begin around 6 pm, with passed appetizers and a raw bar. After cocktail hour, we will have dinner stations set up so you can eat whenever you choose! If you have any dietary restrictions, please let us know on your RSVP.
Will there be an open bar?
There will be an open bar with beer, wine, and liquor for our guests. We look forward to sharing our signature drinks with you as well!
