How should I get to and from the church and reception?
Saint Mary's Church is located downtown on Hassel Street. It is a 9 minute walk from any of the recommended hotels.
Buses will be picking up guests from the Francis Marion Hotel starting at 4:30 PM to bring them to Lowndes Grove where the reception will be held.
After the reception, there will be buses to transport guests back downtown.
What should we do in between the mass and reception?
There is a ~one and a half hour window in between the mass and reception which starts at 5:00 PM. The church is centrally located right downtown, offering many bars and shops nearby. We recommend grabbing a drink at Doar Bros. right around the corner or The Citrus Club located in The Dewberry.
