    Dataw Island is beautiful! We got married in front of the Grand Oak Tree, which was just so picturesque even from unprofessional cameras! Abby, the event coordinator, was just a perfect gem. She made sure everything went smoothly, made sure the Bridal & Grooms party ate the day of, & made they day absolutely perfect! She helped us through the whole planning process & was very thorough when it came to day of details. Our wedding day was so much more than we could have ever dreamed of & we are so thankful to Dataw Island for hosting us!

    We were married a few weeks ago at the Dataw Island Club. Our ceremony was outside in front of the beautiful oak tree overlooking the marsh and the reception was inside the Carolina Ballroom. We looked online for weeks for "the perfect venue" and my husband randomly found Dataw online. We couldn't find too much about it online so we planned a time to come out and see if that was a good or bad thing! Dataw ended up being the first and last venue we visited and fell in love the moment we drove in. The vibe is classy, elegant, and super laid back all at the same time (you feel super welcomed). The reason we felt so much at home is because of Abby Rodgers the special events coordinator at Dataw Club. She is the kind of person you meet and immediately feel relaxed and like you've known her forever. She recommended our band, our wedding coordinator, and the catering company who did our rehearsal dinner. All perfect choices for us. Abby has a unique and talented gift to meet you and know what you like or don't like. She directed everything along with our wedding coordinator Meagan Spachman (Stella Jane Events)- they made a great team. Abby did several "special touches" like have a private room for my husband and I to have a moment after the ceremony to eat and relax before walking into the reception. We will never forget that time together it was so special. We had gorgeous weather for our wedding however, I was completely at ease knowing Abby would have gone above and beyond to organize another plan. The rest of the staff at Dataw were also very courteous including the chef who did an amazing job on the food. Dataw is a classy venue with beautiful/natural scenery. It was perfect and we had the wedding of our dreams!!!

    An absolute pleasure to work with. Abby the Event Manager had everything running to the "T" and made excellent recommendations throughout the process - from considering whether an appetizer would serve well to a sparkler departure. The appetizers were perfect, the room was set fabulously and all the support vendors loved working with them. And... the food was served hot - no small feat for a large gathering. The venue also afforded the bridal party an opportunity to relax and enjoy themselves while pictures were taken under magnificent live oak trees overlooking the water. But, the main compliment goes to the fabulous team that made the reception still happen only a few weeks after a Category II Hurricane devastated the area. Kudo's to all for making our daughter and son-in-law's event absolutely perfect.

    Beautiful venue! Everyone at Dataw was great! We started working with an event coordinator who left for another job about 2 months before our wedding. Working with a new coordinator made us a little nervous at first but Abby help put all of that to ease! She and and the rest of the Dataw staff were on point and extremely helpful in the planning and execution of the big night! So happy that we chose to spend this night at the Dataw Island Club!

    I knew that Dataw was the perfect location for our wedding from the very first time I saw pictures online. Planning a destination wedding in Beaufort from Ohio was not easy but Ashley, our coordinator there for most of the time, made the reception planning part seamless. Although she resigned shortly before the big day, she had been there every step of the way and provided advice and helpful suggestions. We arranged numerous visits, tastings, and general planning meetings. After she left, we met with Demeeka. She was absolutely phenomenal and made sure my Husband received sweet corn bread as he requested. We were also very impressed that Phil was very thoughtful and delivered my husband’s favorite beverage without him even asking. The actual night was magical and exactly how I envisioned our day to be. Our guests still tell us how friendly and professional the servers at Dataw were and how delicious the food tasted. Highly recommend!

    Dataw Island is a little known secret...but one of the most gorgeous and inviting places I've ever been. My guests were blown away by the clubhouse and amazing views of the low country marsh. The best part of getting married on Dataw is getting to work with the event coordinator, Ashley. She's extremely professional, responsive, knowledgable, and put me at ease every step of the way. Every one of my guests raved about the smooth flow of the events, the amazing food, and the overall feel and experience of being on Dataw. I can't imagine getting married anywhere else!

    We really had a great experience with Dataw!It is a beautiful Venue,and the staff was very helpful and sweet to our family.

    We did all the planning in one afternoon. They made a special trip just to meet us after church on a Sunday.

    The food was delicious and all the guest loved our Southern choices.

    They kept the reception moving at a good pace letting us know when to start each phase of the reception for the time we had the hall rented for.This was very helpful because we were busy with guest!
