Things to Do
Although there are many WONDERFUL things to do in Charleston, we wanted to share some of our favorites with you.
Poogans Porch- Restaurant
Corey and I have tried many things on this Menu, so you can't go wrong with your choice. However, you must try the She Crab Soup
Haunted Jail Tour
Corey and I love booking tours when we visit new cities. So when we came to Charleston, it wasn't a question on if we were going to do a tour but how many tours we could fit into a 3-day vacation.
The Haunted Jail Tour was one of our favorites. It not only provides you with the spooky nature of the city but also provides you with some history of Charleston along the guided tour. Note that there are various tours to choose from; some are walking, and some are by horse and carriage.
The Gin Joint
We absolutely loved this little spot. The bride was not a gin-drinker, before she came to this location. The staff was so knowledgeable and ready to prepare a drink that even she was able to enjoy.
The Sorelle Mercato
What a very sweet breakfast location which is close by to the Mills House Hotel.
Magnolias
This was such an amazing find during our last visit to Charleston. The menu is awesome, but the MUST have, according to the Bride and Groom, is the Low Country Bouillabaisse & Pecan Pie
Bin 152
Wine Lovers!! Here is such a lovely little location with a great wine selection, meats, and cheeses. We loved how romantically quant this location was. If you get the chance to visit, try the duck prosciutto; you will not be disappointed.

The Griffon
If you are looking for just some good Fish and Chips and Beer, look no further. This is a wonderful find with a laid-back atmosphere.
This is where Papa Don and the Groom got to spend some one-on-one time while the bride and her mother were off doing her bridal trials.
If you’re enchanted by Charleston’s vibrant blooms, you’re in for a treat! This charming city is a garden of wonders. Keep an eye on the Bloom Chart below to see when your favorite flowers put on their magical show!
