FAQ
We recommend you all get ready at the William Aiken House!
Everyone can get ready in the main house but there is also a carriage house on site that can be rented and used too.
You have a few options for your ceremony here but the most popular 2 choices are the oyster tabby patio in front of the carriage house or the white pergola with the fountain (you can even walk over the water!).
Our recommendation for your ceremony time depends on if you're doing a First Look or not:
You're doing a First Look - start at least 2 hours before Sunset
You're NOT doing a First Look - start at least 3 hours before sunset
Host your entire reception on the oyster tabby areas, or have your guests dine upstairs in the house and dance the shrimp & grits off outdoors later!
You'll definitely want to consider adding some additional lighting options like candles & colored uplighting - it really adds depth to the reception space.
We recommend taking all of your photos at the William Aiken House.
Plan to take photos for 2 hours before the ceremony regardless of if you're doing a First Look or not.
Due to its small size, your guests will be in the background of all of your photos if you are not doing a First Look and will probably try to come chat with you while you're take them. Please keep that in mind.
Hands down, how colorful it is! From the yellow exterior to the green room downstairs
to both red rooms upstairs, we just love how vibrant the photos turn out!
