Welcome to our engagement party in Orangeburg, South Carolina, on October 4, 2025! We suggest flying into Charleston International Airport (CHS) to enjoy Charleston’s historic charm before or after the event, though it’s about 110 miles (roughly a 2-hour drive) from Orangeburg. For a much closer option, Columbia Metropolitan Airport (CAE) is just 7 miles (12–25 minute drive) from downtown Columbia, making it a convenient base.
