Why You'll Love This Place

A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
  • Relaxed, family-friendly, and gorgeous, this fantastic resort occupies 2,000 acres on desirable Hilton Head Island—including three miles of pristine Atlantic beaches.
  • They have a dazzling array of event spaces, from rustic, toes-in-the-sand ceremony spots to lavish ballrooms. We're particularly fond of the Shelter Cove Harbor Pavilion, with its unique peaked roof and breathtaking view of the Intracoastal Waterway.
  • Your guests have an array of well-priced accommodations to choose from, including villas and multi-bedroom vacation homes. Your helpful event coordinator can help plan tons of fun activities, like rounds of golf, sunset harbor cruises, and your rehearsal dinner.
