Make It a Weekend…

If you’re traveling in — or simply want to elevate your weekend — here are a few Charleston favorites we personally love.


Friday — After The Lemonade Party

*Cultural Attraction @ International African American Museum

For a meaningful and powerful Charleston experience, consider visiting IAAM during your time in the city.

*Dinner & Nightcap @ Gullah & Grooves

Rooted in culture, rhythm, and bold Lowcountry flavor. A vibrant and soulful dinner option if you’re gathering your girls after Friday’s daytime experience.


Saturday — Before the Runway

*Coffee & Light Bites @ The Washington Café

A warm, creative start to your morning. Ideal for specialty coffee, light bites, and a relaxed moment before getting dressed for the evening.

*Easy Brunch @ Vicious Biscuit

A laid-back brunch option if you’re easing into the day with friends before the runway experience.


Saturday Night — After the Luxe

*Last Saint

Moody, elevated cocktail energy for extending your dressed-up moment.

*Graft Wine Shop

Intimate and conversation-forward — a refined wind-down option.

*Madison Maison

For a livelier celebratory finish with music and movement.
