Melissa and Jay celebrated their nuptials surrounded by 100 of their closest family and friends on a beautiful Fall evening. The talented team at Lindsey Boyce Designs and On a Limb Florals used our lush Lenhardt Garden as design inspiration, by ensuring that the Sailcloth tent was overflowing with elegant greenery and floral. No detail was left unnoticed, and eye catching textures were perfectly placed throughout. Beautiful floral and trees crawled up the tent poles, while candles of di erent heights created a warm glow beneath the tent. TEC’s star pendant lights shined while guests enjoyed a delicious dinner from Salthouse Catering, followed by an evening full of dancing by Saved by the 90’s. The celebration ended with a sparkler exit and a getaway car awaiting to drive the o in style.

Now more than ever, people want to party. Give the jubilation the fuel it needs through a Late Night menu option. Our Favorite? Hamby’s Fried Chicken and Wa e Bites. #supportlocal “Local” is synonymous with the Lowcountry. Particularly at Hamby, we strive to partner with vendors close to the area –from the ﬂora to the main fare, we endeavor to keep everything as local as possible.

Two Words: Bu alo Cauliﬂower. Gone are the days of pasta in a mystery sauce for those with dietary restrictions; instead, look forward to a meal of sustenance sans trigger foods, like Hamby’s gluten free and vegan lasagna. Chef Attended Spotlight Stations

The approach to these is three-fold; one, the food stays hot and fresh. Two, the portions are individually sized so we cut back on waste and go in on ﬂavor. And three, it keeps things sanitary, as proper handling is still at the forefront of all preparation into the foreseeable CHARLESTON,future.SC| By Candice Hudnall

214 Our love list for Charleston goes on for miles and miles. Charleston’s evocative beauty has inspired painters, poets, playwrights, artisans, cuisiniers, and musicians alike, all contributing to Charleston’s multi-sensory cultural aura. From iconic portrait spots, beautiful beach towns, and a famed culinary scene – the Holy City is not only the perfect locale for your destination wedding but the ideal honeymoon hideaway, too. So grab your bags and ready your sights for an unforgettable adventure. Imagine days filled with iconic (and Instagram-worthy) strolls, toasts with rooftop views, exploration at the speed of horse-drawn carriage, romantic al fresco dinners, and indulgence at a spa oasis. The harmony of church bells resonates with the hum of the city by day and at night, the historic district twinkles with gas-lit copper carriage lanterns, details that reveal themselves when the Charleston peninsula is explored on foot. Your worry-free newlywed getaway is guaranteed to feed all of your senses. From the sound of crashing surf on a shell-strewn beach to the sudden exhale of a breaching dolphin, the symphony of the Charleston area is indelibly influenced by its coastal geography. With its 90 miles of coastline, the Lowcountry has considerable eco appeal. Home to five beautiful beach towns, located mere minutes from historic downtown, Charleston is the ideal place to make lasting memories. H y City H eym n
