Tides Folly Beach

After meeting with Caitlin Corrigan and touring this event space once, we had promptly booked and reserved with a down payment in August, 2019 (anticipating our May, 2020 wedding). Shortly after, I was diagnosed with cancer and it was clear that we would have to post-pone our wedding (which ended up working out better anyways because, COVID). We were able to get the same date of May 8 and move it back a year to 2021 without any issues. With my family, we did all of the planning and coordinating (seriously, pinterest for weddings. So many great ideas!) and probably emailed Caitlin way too many times with questions/concerns/anything under the sun. Caitlin always responded promptly, professionally, and knowledgeable (and if she didn't know, she would effectively communicate that and get back to me). Aside from Caitlin being a dream to work with, they were able to accommodate adjoining rooms, early check in, champagne in the bride and groom's room, early set up for the reception hall and arbor, adding or subtracting any tables/projectors/extention cords for the vendors, the things I never would have thought of. The wait staff was professional and efficient; we were having so much fun, we skipped cutting the cake and they stored it for us in the fridge.
Our wedding was an absolute dream come true and it could not have been so magical anywhere else. I highly recommend this venue and working with Caitlin Corrigan. She emits genuine passion and integrity for her career and customers.

We had a beautiful wedding ceremony on the beach in front of the Tides! The hotel staff was very helpful and professional in planning and executing the ceremony. Everything was perfect! Thank you :)

Tides was the perfect place for us to hold our beach wedding. It's basically an everything-included plan; Tides can provide the ceremony set-up, all catering including the cake (the food is great!), tables and chairs, etc. We had the ceremony on the sand and the cocktail hour and reception in an event space inside. Over the course of the planning year, Caitlin at Tides was absolutely delightful to work with; we ended up renting another space for the bridal party to get ready and the process was super smooth. The Tides hotel itself has a gorgeous renovated lobby/restaurant/outdoor bar, and the rooms have been redone, but you can tell the building itself is older and worn by saltwater, so the vibe is definitely casual beach, but everyone was happy.
