Beachfront Weddings on Hilton Head Island

The Westin Hilton Head Island Resort & Spa is an oceanfront wedding venue on Hilton Head Island, South Carolina, offering newly-renovated guest rooms and suites with private balconies, five restaurants and bars, a full-service spa, three oceanfront pools, and stunning event spaces for both intimate and large wedding ceremonies and receptions.

Facilities and Capacity
This venue offers an array of stunning event spaces, many with ocean views.

The Grand Ocean Terrace is a 5,000-square-foot, climate-controlled space featuring elegant coastal accents and spectacular views of the Atlantic Ocean. It has sliding-glass doors opening onto a full balcony overlooking the ocean, a stone patio with a fireplace, and convenient restrooms and a bridal suite.

The 13,200-square-foot Grand Ballroom is suited for large wedding celebrations and can accommodate up to 600 guests. Mitchellville is a private indoor space with views of the resort courtyard and the Atlantic Ocean, ideal for small, intimate weddings, rehearsal dinners, engagement parties, or wedding brunches.

The Oceanfront Deck, located just steps away from the sand, is perfect for wedding ceremonies and outdoor cocktail receptions for groups of 50 to 250.

If barefoot in the sand is your wedding style, consider a beach ceremony on the pristine beaches of Hilton Head Island, followed by a cocktail hour and reception in one of our elegant venues.

In addition to luxurious oceanfront accommodations, you and your guests can also enjoy amenities such as restaurants, pools, spa and salon services on-site, and golf, tennis and pickleball near the resort.

Best Day of My Life

I saw the Westin's Grand Ocean terrace online when researching wedding reception venues in HHI, and I immediately fell in love! It was my dream wedding location and the most beautiful venue I'd seen.

We had our rehearsal dinner and welcome party in the Mitchelville Gazebo room which has an outdoor deck with views of the resort for guests that wanted to get some fresh air. The cocktail hour was on the Oceanfront deck which is surrounded by tall palm trees and a direct view of the ocean, and our reception was in the Grand Ocean Terrace which has huge, floor-to-ceiling windows facing the Ocean that can be opened to allow the ocean breeze inside.

The Westin was so accommodating and very responsive. The staff members were so patient with our many questions and numerous emails back and forth. They were willing to customize anything for us, from the drink menu to the main dishes served.

And not only was the venue PERFECT, but the FOOD was just as amazing! I had so many guests raving about the food--from the appetizers, to the main dish, to the dessert and even to the late night chicken fingers and tots! Everything was perfect! I wish I could do it all over again!

My Bride to Wifey Night

I stayed the weekend of my wedding in the Atlantic suite at the Westin. I have only positive things to say - the room was so magical getting ready in and not mention the photos looked amazing with the floor to ceiling windows overlooking the ocean. The suite was conveniently located next to all the amenities. The suite had a king bed, full kitchen and living room for all my girls to get ready in. I can’t thank the Westin enough for contributing to the best weekend of my life. Big shout out to Astrid Barth for making sure everything was special and perfect!

Beautiful Wedding Venue! Highly Recommend

The Westin is the perfect wedding venue on Hilton Head. We loved having cocktail hour on the Oceanfront deck and the reception in the Grand Ocean Terrace - our guests keep talking about how memorable the venue was. We were also very happy with the food - the chefs worked with us on our menu as we wanted to incorporate some Jamaican dishes for our families and it turned out delicious. The team (especially our event planner Marianna) at the Westin was wonderful and responsive and wanted to ensure that we had the most perfect day. We had a great experience at the Westin and highly recommend the venue for your wedding!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

I have had the pleasure of planning and executing many weddings over the years at this resort for my clients, and have also hosted several personal celebrations with my family at the Westin Resort and Spa on Hilton Head Island. The staff, level of superior service, talented culinary team, and overall friendliness of the staff make this venue a fabulous choice for a couple looking for a destination celebration. I would highly encourage any couple looking for a fantastic wedding location to consider the Westin during their search. They will not be disappointed!
