Per Person$1,280

Pack This

  • Linen pants and linen shirts (coastal-grandmother energy, April weather)
  • One nice dinner outfit (Husk or The Ordinary dress code: smart casual to dressy)
  • Comfortable walking shoes (food tour + brunch crawl are on foot)
  • Sunglasses and a light wrap (rooftop bars get breezy at night)
  • Swimsuit and cover-up (pool time at the penthouse)
  • Reusable water bottle (hydration is key for a food-focused weekend)
  • Phone charger and portable battery (photos, navigation, group chat)
  • Sunscreen SPF 30+ (April sun is real, rooftop exposure)
  • One fun going-out top (for the dive-bar crawl—nothing too formal)

Pro Tips

  • Book Husk or The Ordinary 3 weeks ahead—both are popular and the group size matters. Mention it's a bachelorette party; they'll often add a special touch.
  • The Watch rooftop fills up fast after 5 PM. Arrive by 9:45 PM for the best light and table availability.
  • King Street is walkable end-to-end—wear comfortable shoes on Day 1 (food tour) and Day 3 (brunch crawl). Save the heels for the big night.
  • April in Charleston is perfect—warm, not hot, no humidity yet. Bring a light wrap for rooftop bars at night.
  • Olivia's a Foodie—she'll notice if you skip the oyster bar or miss a local ingredient. Ask servers about sourcing; she'll love the detail.
  • The party bus is optional for a group of 10 on King Street (everything's walkable), but it's a game-changer for the dive-bar crawl on Day 2. Book it for 10 PM–midnight.
  • Pre-game hard at the house before heading out—Charleston bars are pricey. Stock the penthouse with good wine and spirits, then transition to bars for the big moments.
  • Take a group photo on the rooftop at sunset on Day 2—golden hour, harbor backdrop, Olivia in the center. This is the shot.

Group Logistics

Transport: King Street is walkable—most venues are within 5–10 min of the penthouse. Day 1 food tour: meet at Marion Square (5-min walk from house). Day 2 cocktail class: Charleston Cooks (10-min walk or quick Uber). Rideshare for dinner if going to Husk (Queen Street, 10-min drive). Party bus for nightlife crawl (optional but recommended). Day 3 brunch crawl: all walkable on King Street. Airport rides: pre-book Uber XL the night before (~$25–$35/person to CHS).

Nightlife Strategy: Day 1: Casual bar crawl (Cane Rhum → Proof) to settle in—no reservations needed, walk-in friendly. Day 2: Rooftop reservation at The Watch (9:30 PM, request a table for 10) followed by a dive-bar crawl (The Belmont → Republic). The Watch requires smart casual dress code; The Belmont enforces it strictly. Republic is more relaxed. No bottle service needed—Olivia's a Foodie, not a bottle-service bride. Craft cocktails and wine are the move. Party bus optional for Day 2 nightlife (10 PM–midnight, ~$450 for 4 hours) to handle the crawl safely.
