A quick Google of Hotels in Columbia, SC, and you'll be bombarded with choices.  Here are the three that we suggest:

Holiday Inn and Suites in West Columbia

This is your closest choice. Located only miles from the wedding venue, you can rest in comfort and style at the eco- friendly Holiday inn and suites.  It offers a pool and workout center.

How to get to the Wedding

The wedding will be at the Riverbanks Botanical Garden.  The Riverbanks Garden is considered one of the top twenty public gardens in America by HGTV.  

The Riverbanks Botanical Garden is a70-acre garden with more than 4,200 species of native and exotic plants.  A trail system lets visitors explore several miles of bottomland and upland mixed hardwood forests in search of the native wildlife that calls the garden home.  
All wedding guest will have the opportunity to browse the beautiful garden.  I encourage all to take a full intake of the wonder of the garden.  The pleasantries and visuals of beauty are more than mere enchanting and it is far too easy to get lost in your own daydream.   

For those who may have difficulties making the trek across the garden to the ceremony area, a tram will be waiting to transport you comfortably from the parking area to the ceremony.  

After the ceremony, the reception will be held on site in the 3,000 square foot Magnolia room.  This quaint reception hall provides indoor and outdoor seating.  All out door seating will enjoy the music as much as the indoor guest due to outdoor speaker placement, so don't think you will miss any announcements or events by choosing to dine outdoors.     

How to get to the garden:

From Greenville: Continue on I26 towards  Charleston.  Take the 378 exit, turn left and continue pass the Rush's Restaurant and take a left onto Botanical Parkway.  Continue until you run into the garden.

From Lexington, NC:  Continue down I77.   Take exit 18 to merge onto SC 277 towards Augusta/I20.  In less than 2 miles take I-20 W towards Augusta (look right).  Stay on 20 for approximately 9 miles, then take exit 64A onto I26 East toward Charleston.  Keep right and take exit 110 (US378). At the top of the exit turn left and continue pass the Rush's Restaurant and take a left onto Botanical Parkway.  Continue until you run into the garden
