Wild Dunes has an excellent team. I've played guitar for ceremonies on the lawn, on the beach, and even receptions inside and I am always impressed by the team players there!

I love creating wedding films at Wild Dunes Resort! The location couldn't be more perfect, with the beach just a few feet away and everything else for a wedding day within walking distance—it's phenomenal. Wild Dunes Resort is a beautiful and unique venue in the Charleston/Isle of Palms area. Wild Dunes Resort makes for an amazing backdrop for a wedding film!

Amazing facility with just incredible amenities. Samantha Martin is simply amazing and one of the best in the business!!!
