As the grand finale of your big day, your exit as Mr. and Mrs. should be just as unique and special as every other aspect of the celebration! After all, this is one last photo op hurrah – and the iconic moment where your journey together officially begins. There’s no better time to go out with a bang!

Whether by land or by sea, our historic Charleston wedding venues offer unique opportunities to leave your guests with a lasting impression long after your farewell. Our PPHG pros are happy to share a few of our favorite ideas to inspire your grand getaway, straight from the couples who’ve done it so well.

Embrace a grin-worthy Charleston tradition and climb aboard your very own pedicab, just like these pair’s William Aiken House departure!

At Lowndes Grove, make a splash with a dockside exit and cruise off into a romantic Ashley River sunset.

Go glam in a vintage getaway car. We adore this couple’s stylish exit that was perfectly themed to their 1920s Art Deco fete at The American Theater.

You’ll find no shortage of great resources for your perfect Charleston getaway, from a horse-drawn carriage or classic black cab to tandem bicycles. What’s more, our fabulous couples prove there are no rules when it comes to your storybook ending!
