One of the reasons we decided to get married in Greenville was so all our favorite people have a reason to come see the little city we fell in love with! There are TONS of things to do, including many family friendly activities

Some of our favorites:

Restaurants:

- Jianna: is probably hands down our most frequented restaurant. It is modern Italian cuisine and it is simply amazing, everything being made fresh in house and one of the best espresso martinis I've ever had

- Cantina 76: modern mexican food and phenomenal margaritas

- Gather GVL: covered outdoor food truck style gathering area with many different (and delicious) vendors. Family/pet friendly with heaters and fire pits for the cooler weather. SO much fun!

- Ink n Ivy: three levels, all with different vibes and an eclectic menu

- Sidewall Pizza: if you're looking for a great slice, this is your place! All fresh ingredients and inclusive for those with dietary restrictions

- Lewis BBQ: where you order by the pound not the plate. Straight up delicious.

- White Duck Taco Shop: funky, untraditional taco selection

Bars/Night Life:

- Vault and Vator: an underground speak-easy style bar (21+), amazing cocktails and great small plates.

- SIP: roof top wine and whiskey bar (21+), TVs for sports and fun group games like giant jenga (try the adult caprisun)!

- Between the Trees: semi-underground bar on the bottom level of the Grand Bohemian Hotel, overlooking The Falls

- Up on the Roof: another rooftop with stunning views of Paris Mountain and downtown

- Smileys: the bride and groom's most favorite dive bar and music venue. Be sure to tell Fitzi we sent you in!

- Neat: (21+) underground bourbon bar with a cozy feel

-Hoppin: pour your own beer garden with a roof top overlooking Flour Field.

-YeeHaw Brewing: family friendly, great place to wacth a game on a big screen

- Oak & Honey: bottom level of a hotel, but the cocktails and vibe is so much fun.

Things to Do:

- Falls Park on Reedy River: where the bride and groom got engaged! Absolutely amazing views of downtown and a sprawling park area.

- Group Therapy: basically like an adult arcade, family friendly before 5pm. They offer "ice curling", axe throwing, indoor putt putt, pool, yard games, etc.

- Swamp Rabbit Trail: 23 miles long, it will take you from downtown all the way to Travelers Rest. Plenty of places to rent bikes from to check it out!

-Unity Park: new to downtown, but a gorgeous sprawling park great for family adventures!

-Swamp Rabbit Hockey: catch a game at the Bon Secours wellness arena, or see what other events/performers will be playing. There is consistently a decent line up of artist that come to the area.

- Paris Mountain State Park: so many trails to explore! It's gorgeous, especially around this time of year!

- Pretty Place: is viral on social media but boasts some of the best mountain views and the drive up the mountain is incredible. It is about an hour drive from Greenville, but worth it if you have the time. Just be sure to check on their website it's open to the public that day before driving all the way up.

-Spare Time: family friendly bowling

-Runway Cafe at Greenville Municipal Airport: kids playground/restaurant at our smaller airport where you watch planes come in and out. Kids love it!

- Greenville Zoo: smaller zoo but great animals, the whole loop is only about a mile long so it's super easy to squeeze into your day. The bride would go once a week if she could!

- The Children's Museum of the Upstate
