The ceremony will begin promptly at 3:30 PM, with the prelude starting at 3:00 PM. To ensure you have ample time to find your seat and enjoy the prelude music, we kindly ask that guests arrive no later than 3:15pm.

For those who may be asking, No this is not a Star Wars themed wedding! May 4th is Maddie's late grandmother's (Gammy) birthday. As a way to honor the special place Gammy had in Maddie's life, she wanted for this date to continue to be a joyful day for her family.

Yes, all wedding events will be held at Old Wide Awake Plantation.

Our wedding dress code is semi-formal. We kindly ask our guests to dress in a way that strikes a balance between elegant and comfortable. Additionally, we know it is tempting, but please do not wear a Star Wars costume!

The ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception will all be held outdoors. Adequate shade will be provided with access to the downstairs porch, reception tent, and underneath the porch. There is a seating room and two restrooms available to guests inside the home. The upstairs area is strictly reserved for the bridal party only.

The address of the wedding venue is: 5149 Trexler Avenue, Hollywood, SC 29449. GPS is reliable in providing accurate directions.

There is a gravel parking lot on site and an attendant will be present to direct you on where to park. Please be aware of parking signs and ONLY enter the guest parking area.

As much as we love the little ones, due to a limited guest count, we are unable to accommodate children who have not been directly invited. We kindly ask that you arrange childcare for your kiddos!

To stay within our designated guest count, you will be informed on your wedding invitation if you may bring a +1.

We will be serving light passed hors d'oeuvres during cocktail hour followed by a southern-style buffet for the reception.

If you have any dietary restrictions or allergies, please inform us when you RSVP. We will do our best to accommodate your specific needs.

We will have an open bar, however, we will only be serving wine and beer options at our wedding. We kindly ask that you drink responsibly. No alcoholic drinks will be served to those under the age of 21.

O yes! Get ready for plenty of goat cuddles and be sure to take pictures.

As much as we would love a pet-friendly wedding, only Mr. Steve and the goats will be allowed to attend the wedding. If you need to snuggle an animal though, there will be plenty of goat love to go around. We recommend not bothering Steve unless he likes you. He will let you know who you are.

To adhere to the town noise ordinance, the Bride and Groom send-off will occur at exactly 9 PM, marking the conclusion of the wedding festivities. We kindly ask all guests to exit the venue no later than 9:30 PM.

So glad you asked! Old Wide Awake Plantation was the venue that Reese Witherspoon married her first husband, Ryan Phillippe, in June 1999. This fact was what solidified Maddie and Steve's choice. Billy was also on board, but did not like of our enthusiasm of a fact about a marriage that did not last. No Billy! its like we are going to be the real life Elle and Bruiser Woods!
