The RSVP deadline has passed as we finalize details with the venue. If you need to make a change to your RSVP, please contact Anthony or Crystal as soon as possible.
Will the ceremony and reception be at the same location?
Yes. The ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception will all take place at the same venue.
What time should I arrive?
Please arrive by 3:45 PM.
Are children invited?
While we love your little ones, we’ve decided to make our wedding an adults-only celebration so everyone can relax and enjoy the evening.
Where do I park?
Guests may park in several convenient locations: along Commonwealth Avenue near the front entrance, in the lot behind the building, or in the parking structure located behind the post office at Pomona and Commonwealth.
All guests will enter through the front doors on Commonwealth Avenue. Please note, this entrance includes a staircase. For those requiring elevator access, we recommend parking in the lot behind the building near the patio of Bourbon Street Bar & Grill. Guests can enter through the double glass doors labeled “The Bowery.” The elevator is located in the foyer and will take you to your desired floor.
Please disregard the “pay for parking” signs around the lot—parking is free for guests arriving before 9:00 PM. If arriving after 9:00 PM, please follow posted parking payment instructions.
What if I can't climb up stairs?
The Charleston is proud to be a fully ADA-accessible venue. Please note that there is no elevator access on the Commonwealth Avenue side of the building. For guests who require elevator access, we recommend parking in the lot behind the building near the patio of Bourbon Street Bar & Grill. Enter through the double glass doors in the back of the building marked “The Bowery,” where you’ll find an elevator located in the foyer. This provides convenient access to all event spaces on the second and third floors, ensuring every guest can enjoy their experience comfortably and safely.
Do I need to select a meal in advance?
No, dinner will be buffet-style. Please let us know if you have any dietary restrictions when you RSVP.
Can I bring a plus one?
We kindly ask that only those listed on your invitation/RSVP attend.
What is the dress code?
Wedding formal attire. Suits and ties are encouraged, and dresses or evening wear are welcome. We kindly ask guests to avoid overly casual attire such as T-shirts, jeans, and tennis shoes.
Do you have a registry?
Your presence at our wedding is the greatest gift. If you’d like to contribute, we have a honeymoon fund available as we plan a future trip to Japan and beyond.
What’s the vibe of the wedding?
Expect a fun, celebratory evening with great music, good food, and a few surprises along the way.
