Lodging

We've gotten a great rate at the Courtyard by Marriott of $49.00 per night for our guests. The hotel is easy to access from I-20 and US 1, and it is conveniently located to the church and the reception site. If you wish to stay here, be sure to tell the representative that you are with the Maynard-Riser party in order to get our rate.

Courtyard Augusta
1045 Stevens Creek Road
Augusta, GA 30907

If you'd like to do something extra-special and romantic with your lodging, you might consider staying at one of the Telfair Inns, which are located near the reception site in historic, Olde Towne Augusta.

Dining

If you stay at the Courtyard, you are right off of Washington Road, the mecca of Augusta restaurants. Your choices range from fast-food like Taco Bell and Arby's to sit-down choices such as Carrabba's, Olive Garden, Lone Star Steakhouse, Outback Steakhouse, and T.G.I. Friday's. The Courtyard itself offers an elaborate breakfast bar and some dinner choices. Some of our favorite Augusta restaurants are the Sunshine Bakery on Broad Street in downtown Augusta, the French Market Grille West (try the fried chicken and the peanut butter pie) in the Winn-Dixie shopping center on Fury's Ferry Road, and Formosa's in West Town shopping center on Washington Road.

Area Attractions

For a general overview of the Augusta area, visit the augusta.com website.

Antiquing: There are many opportunities to shop for antiques in Augusta, including several shops downtown on Broad Street and two large shops featuring multiple vendors on Washington Road (one is across from Applebee's and the other is in the shopping center between Applebee's and Warren Baptist Church, where Fury's Ferry Road forks off of Washington Road). Also downtown, off of the Riverwalk, is the Riverwalk Antique Depot (505 Reynolds Street), which brags an "entire city block" of antiques.

Augusta Museum of History: Located off of the Riverwalk at 560 Reynolds Street, this museum traces the birth and growth of the city and features an actual locomotive.

Fort Discovery National Science Center: On the Riverwalk, at One 7th Street, Fort Discovery has cool interactive exhibits for people of all ages, but kids especially will really enjoy it.

Riverwalk: This boardwalk along the Savannah River is billed as one of Augusta's key attractions. In addition to housing several of the other options on this list, it boasts the Jesse Norman Amphitheater and the Georgia Golf Hall of Fame. It is usually quite beautiful; you can even take a virtual tour.

Augusta Mall: Features Dillard's, Macy's, Rich's, J.C. Penney's, Sears Brand Central, the Disney Store, Ann Taylor, the Limited, Express, Structure, Eddie Bauer, Bombay Company, and many other shops. It can be reached by taking I-20 West to Bobby Jones Expressway North, and then exiting at Wrightsboro Road, turning left off the ramp. The mall will be on your right.

Golf Courses: In Augusta, of all places, we have to have great golf courses. You might consider the Jones Creek course.
