Yes! It takes a village and we absolutely want to share it with those we love of any age. Please let us know if you plan to bring a child. If they are over the age of 3, they will require a meal. The kid’s meal is chicken fingers and fries.

We chose to have the reception at the Francis Marion, not only because it is a beautiful historic hotel in Downtown Charleston, but because it can accommodate out-of-town guests. If you call to make a reservation, tell the Francis Marion you are with the Oberempt-Hamby Wedding. However, there are plenty of other accommodations in Charleston and Mt. Pleasant.

Your love and well wishes are the most important gifts of all, but if you would like to contribute in another way, visit the Registry tab in the top left which will guide you to our list.
