The Charleston Yacht Club was the perfect venue for hosting our wedding! It seemed unreal to be able to find a venue in downtown Charleston that was actually affordable, who let you choose both your catering AND allowed you to provide your own alcohol (for any bride on a budget, know that this is a MASSIVE cost savings). Debbie was absolutely fabulous and soothing of any of my concerns and anxiety when wedding planning, and always welcomed me with open arms when I wanted to come in and look at the venue for décor ideas considering the flag room recently underwent renovations. We had our wedding on December 9th, so not only did we have the breathtaking Christmas tree for photo opps (not only for us, but for our guests – several guests made their photos at our wedding the highlight of their Christmas cards), but the Yacht Club also had beautiful string lights that were illuminated once the sun went down on all of the banisters overlooking the water. We wanted a winter wonderland wedding of sorts, and having our wedding at the Yacht Club allowed us to do just that. They were very lenient within reason and accommodating, and it really is an exceptional venue for the price. We were able to get some AMAZING photographs on the dock as well – and having the large sailboats in the background made it seem like our photos were taken straight out of bridal magazines. I’m so happy we decided to have our wedding at the Charleston Yacht Club. Book them – you won’t regret it!

JR was a pleasure to work with from the day we took the first tour of the venue, through all of my many emailed questions and even after the wedding. We had our ceremony and cocktail hour outside, took photos on the dock and had the reception inside the Flag Room. This venue was perfect for us because of the affordable price, waterfront location, parking availability and the fact that many of the rental items were included. I think this is one of the best kept secrets as far as Charleston venues are concerned.

We had an amazing wedding at the Charleston Yacht Club. J.R. was one of the best, most responsive people I worked with and she recommended great vendors. The location is beautiful and the open policy about bringing alcohol, hiring any caterer, and playing music outside was so nice. Our guests loved the space, and the price was so reasonable for downtown Charleston. Highly recommend.
