Our Wedding

We are so excited for you to join us for our wedding day! It means the world that you are taking the time to travel to Charleston - lucky for you, it's a wicked fun city. To help make your travel feel easy peasy, we have secured room blocks at several hotels. We have also listed out alternative stay options so you can find what works best for you or your group. TIP: If you're looking to save on your stay, Mount Pleasant, North Charleston, and Folly Beach tend to have cheaper options than Downtown Charleston. Mount Pleasant is a short&nbsp;10 min drive&nbsp;to downtown Charleston. North Charleston is 20 min. Folly Beach is 40 min. If you plan on attending our wedding, we HIGHLY recommend you book your stay ASAP since Charleston is a popular destination and it will be Memorial Weekend.

Airbnb has many great, affordable options for couples, families, or a group of friends.

Where to Stay

We highly recommend you view our wedding destination as an opportunity to treat yourself and make a fantastic trip out of it if you can. Charleston is a top destination spot for a lively weekend with the girls, a romantic vacay, or an entertaining trip for the fam! From eats and drinks to sights and bites, read below on all you can do. The sections are as follows:- Restaurants- Coffee shops- Brunch Spots- Cocktails- Activities for adults- Activities for kids

Post House Inn is in Old Village, one of the best neighborhoods in the Mount Pleasant area. It's about 10-15 minutes over the Charleston bridge and is completely worth the scenic drive! You'll be close to the water, and it's perfect for an early dinner or brunch.

Post House

Chubby Fish is one of the best restaurants downtown. They don't take reservations, but if you want a spot for dinner, you'll need to show up around 4:30 PM to put your name down. Or, download the app, "Task Rabbit" and have someone else wait in line for you for a small fee while you're busy building up an appetite and exploring Charleston lol Eating dinner here is always a five-star experience. And since you can't go wrong with anything, we recommend just letting the waiter/waitress order for you.

Chubby Fish

You can't go to Charleston without at least popping into Hall's. Whether it be for a quick cocktail at the bar, their Sunday gospel brunch, or a dinner reservation, Hall's is sure to satisfy! For dinner, we recommend starting with the Hall's Chopped Salad and graduating to the 6 oz. grass-fed filet that's topped with risotto and truffle butter! Be sure to talk with your table (and the waiter/waitress) to decide on which family-style sides are best!

Halls Chophouse

Looking to get out on the beach? Not without getting into Obstinate Daughter for brunch or dinner! You can't go wrong with any of their special pizzas, or the Chicken Farro!

The Obstinate Daughter

Split the bottle of rosé and get the steak and frites!

Felix Cocktails et Cuisine

If you wind up at Mefli's, they have wonderful pasta to pair with red wine as well as one of the best espresso martinis in town.

Melfi's

Sullivan's Fish Camp is one of the sister properties of Post House Inn, and we absolutely recommend that you try both before ever leaving town. Going here for lunch or an early dinner enables you the opportunity to have at least one beach day while you're here.

Sullivan's Fish Camp

Topnotch barbecue of the south with the coldest drinks on tap! If you're more of a burger fan, then ordering their smash burger is a must. Picnic tables with wings &amp; nachos to start, come on you Texas folk!!!

Home Team BBQ

Located in a converted auto body shop, Leon's is known for their oysters and fried chicken—order some of each, I dare you.

Leon's Oyster Shop

Great spot for cocktails on the patio before your dinner reservation. Or, get a pizza/pasta to follow drinks!

Frannie & The Fox

Rue is a charming French restaurant housed in a former two-story brick warehouse, which was built in 1880 as a space for the Charleston Manufacturing Company to store their finished products. The (hearty) lunch menu is especially good, with plats du jour ranging from bouillabaisse, to duck confit, to Creole-style shrimp.

39 Rue de Jean

Vern's is the new talk of downtown Charleston. A cozy restaurant on the corner of Bogard and Ashe with a flavorful menu that changes to meet the chef's expectations each season.
