Beautiful Venue and Amazing Team

We held our wedding, rehearsal dinner and welcome party all on-site at Wild Dunes. It was the most magical weekend and our guests loved that everything was within walking distance and easily accessible. We cannot recommend working with their team, especially Bailey, who made our wedding feel stress and hassle-free. She was extremely responsive and flexible! We also had a lot of out-of-town guests who flew in, and the location was close enough to get to that we didn't have to furnish transportation from the airport. We originally booked the North Croquet Lawn for our ceremony and reception, but ended up making a last minute call morning of move it to the Indigo rooftop since the forecast was looking iffy on rain (and it ended up thunder storming that evening!) This wasn't an issue at all, and by the way it all turned out, you would have thought we planned to have it there the whole time. It was absolutely beautiful and their staff was extremely helpful and proficient. They made sure we got hors d'oeuvres, cake and drinks throughout the night while we were busy mingling. If you're looking for a full wedding weekend on the beach vibe, this is THE place to be.

Perfect Venue for Perfect Couples

We recently had our destination wedding at Wild Dunes Resort, and we couldn't be happier with our experience. From start to finish, everything was absolutely perfect.
Bailey, the Resort Event Planning Manager, was our main point of contact and answered all of our questions with patience and professionalism. She went above and beyond to ensure that everything was taken care of and that our special day went smoothly. Corina also helped us with the initial booking process, and she was incredibly responsive and answered all of our questions in a timely manner.
We stayed at the Boardwalk Inn, and our experience there was also fantastic. Carol at the front desk was incredibly personable and caring. She went out of her way to help us with anything we needed and truly made us feel at home. The valet guys at The Boardwalk Inn, Richard and Robbie, were also great. They were always prompt, helpful, and extremely fun.
The wedding itself was held on the resort's beautiful North Croquet Lawn, and it was simply stunning. The staff at Wild Dunes Resort worked seamlessly with our wedding coordinator to ensure that everything was just as we had imagined it. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was perfect, and all of our guests had a wonderful time.
Overall, we would highly recommend Wild Dunes Resort to anyone looking for a beautiful and stress-free wedding experience. From the helpful staff to the beautiful location, everything was top-notch. We are so grateful to Bailey, Corina, Carol, Richard, Robbie, and the entire staff for making our wedding day absolutely perfect. Thank you!

Unforgettable Destination Wedding

Charleston has been our annual family getaway from Upstate New York for the last 15 years. We almost never skipped a year to see this beautiful city. After looking at several Charleston/Folly Beach/West Ashley venues, our decision landed on Wild Dunes. The practicality, amenities, and location were perfect for what we envisioned our guests to enjoy. Being about 30 min from the airport was perfect. Guests will pass by the city on the way to the resort and could take an Uber to stop and explore. Once they were at Wild Dunes, they had no intentions of leaving. The guests were thrilled to have restaurants, cafes, the spa, the pool and the beach at their fingertips. This was a vacation for them after all and I wanted them to feel that way. After our wedding, I was relieved to know that my guests just had to walk up to their rooms for the night. My family and I could not thank Samantha enough for our amazing wedding experience. She was a professional event manager/coordinator through and through. She has a bubbly personality that puts everyone at ease. Samantha went above and beyond to make every little detail and small hiccup seamless with the weekend. From our tasting early on in the process, to our farewell from the resort, she left us so thankful to have our investment in her hands. We cannot wait to visit for our anniversary and watch all future weddings come to life at Wild Dunes!

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!
