Q + A

How will I know if I have a +1?

Don't worry; this is accounted for on the online RSVP form. If your +1 will be attending, please update their name and mark them "yes."

Can I bring my children?

Your little ones will be accounted for on your RSVP. However, if possible, we encourage you to use this as a date night for you and your significant other, as childcare will not be provided.

I have food allergies/dietary restrictions. How should I let you know?

You will be able to provide us with this information on the online RSVP form. If you are ready to RSVP now, head on over to the "RSVP" section!

Will the ceremony and reception be held at the same location?

Yes. Both the ceremony and the reception will be held at The Citadel Beach Club on Isle of Palms, SC. Weather permitting, the ceremony will take place outside on the back lawn. The reception, including bar service, dinner, and dancing, will take place inside.

What time should I plan to arrive at the venue?

Please plan to arrive at the venue no later than 4:30 PM. The venue is conveniently located; however, traffic getting on the island can be a pain in the a**. Please plan your travel accordingly!

Is there parking at the venue?

Yes, there is a large gravel lot available for guests to park at the venue. Please note that while this is a large parking lot, it is also available to other Citadel alumni and community members, so if able, it would be best for you to make a few friends and carpool. Overnight parking is not allowed.

Are ride share options available from my hotel to the venue?

The Charleston area is home to several colleges, so Uber/Lyft/other options are available to use. Using alternate transportation will also ensure the parking lot does not overflow.

Is the venue handicap-accessible?

Yes, the venue has a large parking lot and a handicap-accessible elevator.

Can I take pictures during the ceremony?

We ask that you please refrain from taking photos during the ceremony. However, take as many photos as you would like during the reception!

What exactly is beach formal?

You may be thinking, "Did they just ... make up ... beach formal?" Well, the internet says it is a thing, so it must be a thing. Allow us to explain. Fellas, think lightweight suit, a nice shirt, and/or slacks/khackis. Ladies, think midi/maxi dresses, cocktail dresses, or a jumpsuit. It will be warm this time of year, so make sure you will be comfortable, but please, no jeans! For more ideas, take a look at this website: https://www.brides.com/beach-wedding-attire-4842339.

What is the weather like this time of year?

Weather in the Charleston/Isle of Palms area can still be fairly warm in late August and early September. Expect temperatures to be in the upper 70s to mid-80s.

What is the best airport to fly into?

The Charleston International Airport is the most convenient airport in the area. It is located about 25 miles from the venue, or about 30 minutes without traffic.

Where is the best place for me to stay while I am in town for the wedding?

We have a block of rooms reserved at the hotels listed under "Travel." You may also take a look at some of the Airbnb options around, as this is a great way for larger parties to stay together.

Will there be a lot of tourists this time of year?

June and July are the busiest months at Isle of Palms. That being said, there should not be too many tourists (i.e., traffic!) in late August/early September. Regardless, please plan ahead when it comes to planning flights and hotels and arriving at the venue - it's better to be safe than sorry!

I want to turn this into a little vacay. What do you suggest I check out while I am in town?

We have tons of suggestions for having a good time! Head on over to the "Things to Do" section for some of our favorite activities.

Is there anything else I should know?

The Citadel Beach Club is a non-smoking venue. Smoking is not allowed indoors or outdoors. We politely ask that you refrain from smoking of any kind (if you have to ask if it is okay, the answer is "no").

Hmm, I still have one more question.

Okay! Please feel free to send us a message and we would be happy to answer it.
