The Charleston Intl Airport is the closest major airport with direct flights from many cities. It is a 20 minute drive from downtown Charleston.
We understand that approximately 90% of our guests may be driving in from Georgia. For those planning to fly and stay in downtown Charleston, rest assured that it is highly walkable and convenient for Uber/Lyft rides. Our wedding venue is a mere 15 minutes from downtown Charleston, also easily accessible via Uber/Lyft. However, if you opt to stay at one of the outlying beaches, we recommend renting a vehicle from reputable agencies such as Avis, Enterprise, or any other car rental agency for your convenience.
With the plethora of accommodation options in Charleston, we've decided to forgo a traditional hotel block. Instead, we invite you to tailor your stay to your interests. Whether you're seeking a romantic getaway at a historic downtown Charleston inn, a family-friendly beach house rental on one of the local islands, or a pet-friendly condo, the choice is yours. We have recommendations for each category to assist you in finding the perfect fit. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to Madison.
The downtown area offers a variety of options from nice hotels, boutique inns, to some charming airbnb/VRBO historic home rentals perfect for a group. For those considering home rentals, we advise booking early as they tend to fill up quickly. Below, we've listed some of our top picks for hotel stays.

Charleston offers access to many local beaches. The wedding party will personally be staying on Kiawah, the bride and groom's favorite. We recommend it to both families, couples, and of course, golf enthusiasts. You have a variety of accommodation options on the island, including numerous home rentals, as well as The Sanctuary and The Andell Inn for those preferring hotel stays. The beach is private and a great option for those looking to relax. For those considering Kiawah, Madison's your expert, please feel free to reach out to her for insights.
Charleston also offers 3 public beaches, all in close proximity. They are Folly Beach, Sullivan's Island, and Isle of Palms. Isle of Palms and Kiawah may particularly appeal to dog owners planning to bring their furry friend with them as both beaches are dog friendly year round and offer dog friendly rentals.
