Where are the ceremony and reception taking place?

Both the ceremony and reception are taking place at The Ocean Course located on Kiawah Island, SC.

Address:

1000 Ocean Course Drive

Kiawah Island, SC 29455

How do I get to the venue?

The easiest way to get there is to put the address in the GPS, it's an easy route once you're on it.

Once you get to the island, there are two security checkpoints before you get to the golf course. The Ocean Course is located about 20 minutes away from the first check point.

What are the options for hotel accommodations?

There are multiple different options for places to stay while on Kiawah Island and around Charleston, SC.

Hotel/House Accommodations:

The Sanctuary at Kiawah Island Golf Resort. This hotel is located on Kiawah Island, maybe 10 minutes from The Ocean Course. This hotel also offers a 10% discount to our wedding guests. Reservations can be made via telephone at (800) 654 2924.

Address:

1 Sanctuary Beach Drive

Kiawah Island, SC 29455

Kiawah Island also offers villas and homes to rent. The villas/homes also offer a 10% discount to our wedding guests. The villas/homes range in size and price. For more information regarding the villas/homes, please see https://kiawahresort.com/reservations/ and click on the villas tab, in the middle of the page, or on the home rentals tab. You can also call (800) 654-2924 or email reservations@kiawahresort.com, to ask any questions and make reservations.

There are also private homes to rent as well. These are not offered through Kiawah Island, so these do not offer the 10% discount. These homes are privately owned and listed on Airbnb, VRBO, and ESPM Vacation Rentals.

Because of the size of Kiawah Island, there are not many options for hotels directly on the island, but there are other options, not too far away.

There are also plenty of reasonablely priced homes for rent on Seabrook Island. Again, look into VRBO and Airbnb, those are the best options for home rentals.

The Charleston Kiawah Island/Andell Inn, is the closest hotel to The Ocean Course, but is outside of the security checkpoints on Kiawah Island. This hotel is approximately 25 minutes away from The Ocean Course.

Address:

300 Farm Lake View Road

Kiawah Island, SC 29455

Final options for hotels would be the hundreds of hotels in Charleston, SC. These hotels are going to be the least expensive options, but also the furthest away from The Ocean Course. Depending on traffic, Charleston could be an hour away from Kiawah Island and The Ocean Course.

What is the timeline for the day?

While there is still much to figure out regarding the timeline, we expect the ceremony to start sometime around 6:00 PM. The final time will be listed on the invitations when you receive them.

Please check back here as we get closer to the date for more accurate times.

What should I wear? Is there a dress code?

The dress code could be described as business attire. For example, gentlemen in button down shirts and dress slacks and for the ladies, dress slacks and/or dresses (short or long). Our request is no jeans or shorts.

The ceremony and reception will be taking place on the grass lawn of the golf course, so be mindful of the shoes you wear. I (Abbey) will most definitely not be wearing heels - they aren't comfortable for one and I also don't want to be doing the heel in the grass walk...ladies you know what I'm talking about.

Daytime temperature is around 80 degrees, but evening temps can fall into the 60’s.

Do you have a gift registry?

Please know that your love and company on our wedding day is the only thing we could ask for! However, if you do wish to celebrate with a gift, a contribution towards our honey moon would be much appreciated!

How do I RSVP?

There will be two separate ways to RSVP to the wedding. The first method of RSVP will be the old fashion written response, which will be included in the invitations. The second method can be located up top on this page in the RSVP tab!

If for any reason you're having difficulties, please reach out to Abbey or Steve and we'll be more than happy to find an easier way!

Do you have a wedding hashtag?

YES! Our wedding hashtag is #aislebeasimmons

Please tag any pictures you take and post to social media with that hashtag so we can look back and enjoy them afterwards!

Additionally, we we will be asking that no pictures (with a camera or cell phone) be taken during the ceremony itself. We will have multiple photographers and videographers recording the special day. Thank you in advance for your understanding!

Who can I contact with any additional questions?

We know it’s quite the hike for most of you, so please don’t hesitate to reach out to Abbey or Steve with any questions before you make the trek down!
