The Citadel Beach Club

The most beautiful venue. It was the only venue we toured; as soon as we toured, we knew it was where we wanted to get married. Michael made the process easy from booking to the day of!

The citadel beach club has a beautiful well maintained venue, but from day 1 of planning Micheal, the property manager was so helpful, flexible and accommodating to assist with making sure the day went great! Even helping guests with umbrella when it rained right before the ceremony, above and beyond!

The Citadel Beach Club was exactly what we were looking for in a venue for our relaxed southern backyard wedding dreams. Michael was professional and helpful throughout the entire process. The CBC coordination with our vendors was seamless and made the process as easy as possible. Our guests had the best time in one of our favorite spots! We are so grateful to have celebrated our day at the Beach Club and are recommending them to everyone we know!

We couldn't have had a better experience at the Citadel Beach Club. The site was absolutely gorgeous for an outdoor wedding and dinner and the service was great. Michael was helpful and kind to us throughout the entire process including standing by through out entire ceremony to make sure that no beachgoers accidentally interrupted us.

So happy with the whole experience of the Citadel Beach Club!!! Not only was the venue stunning and everything I dreamed of for a beach wedding, but Michael was so kind and helpful throughout the process. He always answered our questions and let us stop by the venue when needed so we could plan everything. He helped recommend vendors and went above and beyond what a wedding venue normally does. The staff did a great job setting up the indoor tables & chairs for us on the day of, and everything was just perfect. I can't say enough great things. Thank you to Michael and the Citadel Beach Club for making our wedding day the best ever!!!

We loved the citadel beach house the moment we did our first tour! The venue is absolutely gorgeous with lots of options. You can get married on the sand, lawn, or indoors. Michael was extremely helpful and easy to work with from day one. We can’t thank him enough for helping make our dream wedding come true. The venue is affordable including all the table and chairs inside. They also set everything up and break it down, which is huge! I highly recommend the CBH for all future brides!

Great space for our son’s rehearsal dinner. The room was beautiful after decorating. Weather was so cold and rainy we had to move the bar inside and ended up being very convenient. Plenty of room for bar, tables, buffet and 3 piece band. Sixty-five people attend. Michael was helpful and very easy to work with. Would use this venue again!

We are so grateful for the fabulous day we had at the Citadel beach club! Micheal was so kind and knowledgeable through the whole process. Our family and friends were thrilled with the whole day!

I can’t imagine a more perfect place for my daughter’s wedding than The Citadel Beach Club. She and her fiancé wanted a Charleston area destination wedding, but she was adamant she did not want to get married directly on the beach. Since the wedding was in July, we wanted to avoid spending several hours outside in the heat and humidity.
With wedding venues costing thousands of dollars, I wanted: 1) tables and non-plastic chairs included, 2) a built-in plan B for the outdoor ceremony and 3) ample time on property. We did have to rent ceremony chairs (because indoor furniture cannot be moved outdoors) but otherwise, The Citadel Beach Club provided everything we wanted and more.
They have a huge lawn, so we were able to have an outdoor ceremony without actually being on the beach. We used the patio for cocktail hour, but in cooler weather, it would be a great place for dancing. For an evening wedding, I do recommend springing for café lights. Not only is there no other outdoor lighting for guests who venture down to the patio after dark, but the lights look amazing from inside!
The ballroom and porch provided a built in Plan B if it had rained or been unbearably hot. The ceremony would have been in the ballroom (with a cathedral window frame on the mantel) and the cocktail hour would have been either inside or on the covered porch.
The clubhouse is beautiful, with gorgeous ocean views, both inside and out. The wrap around porch offered many advantages: 1) Our photographer took the majority of pre-ceremony pictures on the porch, with stunning results. This option would be a huge bonus in rainy weather – everyone could stay dry while still getting scenic outdoor pictures. 2) Our early arriving guests enjoyed the rocking chairs, shade, ocean breeze and the view before the ceremony. 3) Once dancing started and the music turned up, guests who wanted to converse had plenty of room to sit on the porch, while still being able to hear the music and watch the dancing through the large windows.
Unlike many venues, the ballroom was built to host events, so it’s size, shape and flow are easy to work with. The hardwood floor and blue-gray walls provide a neutral background and the two walls of windows make the walls almost irrelevant. We had a head table along the ocean wall, which meant the guests’ attention was directed towards the panoramic ocean view throughout dinner.
Michael, the property manager, was great to work with. Even though he’s not an event planner by trade, he’s overseen enough events to know what works and doesn’t work regarding guest numbers, event flow, etc. Our wedding fell within the pandemic, which added lots of uncertainty and stress. Michael always returned emails promptly and was very patient throughout, even as our calls and emails became more frequent and anxious.
I highly recommend The Citadel Beach Club to anyone who wants to create a memorable experience for themselves, as well as their guests.

We held our son's rehearsal dinner party at the Citadel Beach Club March 13, 2020. We had a seated meal for about 135. We had plenty of space and porches to provide guests a chance to enjoy appetizers and drinks while looking at the ocean prior to being seated. We also had room to show childhood slides of both the bride & groom. It was a wonderful event that I will remember always. Highly recommend this venue.
