Charleston, South Carolina
Travel & Accommodations
Everything you need to plan your trip to Charleston for the wedding weekend at Pepper Pavilion.
Our recommendation
We recommend arriving in Charleston on Friday, April 9th so you can join us for welcome drinks and have a chance to explore the city before the wedding. If you can only make it for the weekend, Saturday morning works too — just give yourself enough time to settle in before the 5:00 PM ceremony.
