Our Charleston Getaway

With our favorite people spread out across the map, bringing everyone together in Charleston was a dream come true. We are so grateful to each and every one of you who made the trip to celebrate with us at The Mills House. Having all of our favorite people in one place made for an unforgettable weekend!

The Mills House

Known affectionately as the "Pink Hotel," The Mills House was the perfect backdrop for our wedding weekend. From morning coffees at The Black Door Cafe to late-night drinks by the Fountain Courtyard, we loved seeing all of our favorite people fill this historic 1853 landmark with so much life and laughter. It will always hold a special place in our hearts!

Schedule of Events

Fri, September 18th

Welcome Drinks

5:00 PM – 7:00 PM | Ritual Rooftop & Lounge
(Ritual Rooftop is not located at The Mills House. It is a 15-minute walk from the hotel at 145 Calhoun St.—an easy stroll up King Street toward Marion Square.)
Start your Friday evening with us at Ritual! We’ve reserved space on the rooftop to welcome all of our out-of-town guests with drinks and city views. Since we wrap up at 7:00 PM, we recommend making a Friday night dinner reservation nearby on King Street (check out our Charleston Guide for favorite spots like Halls, FIG, or 167 Raw!)

Dress Code: Charleston Casual We want our guests to be comfortable, elegant, and ready to celebrate! We kindly request Charleston Casual attire for the evening—think lightweight suits, sport coats, or tailored button-downs (no ties required!) for men, and sundresses, cocktail dresses, or breezy jumpsuits for women.

Sat, September 19th

Ceremony

5:30 PM | The Pool Terrace We invite you to join us on the Pool Terrace as we exchange our vows overlooking the heart of the Historic District. While we look forward to seeing everyone in their finest suits and gowns, please keep in mind that the ceremony will take place outdoors in the Charleston afternoon sun.

Dress Code: Charleston Formal We want our guests looking sharp while staying comfortable in the Lowcountry warmth! We request Charleston Formal attire—suits or tailored blazers with dress trousers for men (no ties required!), and floor-length gowns, midi dresses, or sophisticated jumpsuits for women.

Cocktail Hour

6:00 PM | The Fountain Courtyard Immediately following the ceremony, please join us downstairs in the Fountain Courtyard. We’ll celebrate our first moments as Mr. and Mrs. with signature cocktails, Lowcountry hors d'oeuvres, and the sound of the fountain. This is the perfect time to explore the courtyard’s hidden corners before we head inside for dinner.

Dinner & Dancing

7:00 PM | The Signer’s Ballroom The celebration moves inside to the Signer’s Ballroom for an evening of dinner, drinks, and plenty of time on the dance floor. We’ll be enjoying a Lowcountry-inspired buffet featuring our favorite Charleston flavors. And, of course, keep an eye out for our signature espresso martinis—the perfect fuel to keep the party going until the final song!

Arrival & Getting Around

Because we want you to fully enjoy the Lowcountry, we’ve centered our wedding weekend in the most walkable part of the city. We recommend skipping the rental car; the hotel is a simple 20-minute rideshare from Charleston International Airport (CHS).

If you are staying at The Mills House: Once you arrive, everything is at your doorstep. You are steps away from King Street’s best dining and the waterfront, so you can easily explore the city on foot between wedding festivities.

If you are staying elsewhere: Most downtown accommodations and vacation rentals are within a pleasant 10-minute walk or a very short Uber ride. If you do choose to drive, please note that The Mills House offers valet parking only, but there are several public garages nearby—the 93 Queen Street Garage is the most convenient option for our venue.

Our Registry

Having you celebrate with us in Charleston was the best gift we could have asked for! For those who have reached out asking about sending a gift or card to celebrate our marriage, our registry remains open below.

A quick note on mailing: We’ve moved! We’re spending the year living on Nantucket. If you’d like to send a card or physical gift, please direct all mail to our island address: 54 Old South Road, Nantucket, MA 02554
