The Couple:

Elizabeth & Patrick are one of those couples who truly embody the essence of true love. It was an absolute honor to be part of their unforgettable day, and we couldn’t imagine a better way for them to begin their forever together! And really, what’s more perfect than celebrating your love with a mini chicken and waffle bite in hand? It was an honor to be a part of their entire celebration, beginning with their rehearsal. 

The Dining:

Curating this menu was a showcase of traditional Lowcountry flair and flavor. We began the night with She Crab soup shooters, seared scallops and our delicious peach and strawberry crostinis. The main course celebrated both surf and turf, featuring a dual entree from our carefully crafted traditional Hamby seated menu. Now fueled, the couple and their guests were ready to toast, tell stories and look forward to the exciting day to come! 

The Details:

Fun fact, the thoughtfully curated peaches on display throughout the evening were a dedication to the groom’s college nickname, Peaches! The elegant signage guided guests with style, while the dessert paid a sweet tribute to where the couple first met. With so many delightful details, picking a favorite was nearly impossible. Each touch made the celebration uniquely theirs and memorable for all. 

The Venue:

Beaufort — A hidden gem in South Carolina’s Lowcountry houses the stunning Arsenal venue. Over time, although its function has changed, the name “The Arsenal” has persisted, serving as a reminder of the building’s original role in Beaufort’s military history. Established on Craven Street in 1798, this historic gem with its charming yellow facade was the perfect backdrop for these two lovebirds. If you’re searching for a venue that gives you butterflies, this is it.
