Hilton Head Island weddings are the crème brulee of
Destination Weddings, which cover approximately 10% of all
weddings nowadays. 
Hilton Head's combination of gorgeous beaches, luxury resort
complexes, and quiet southern atmosphere inspire romance and
relaxation. Enjoy a serene waterfront ceremony at sunset, plan
a five-course meal and hire a string trio for your reception
at one of our lavish resorts, or rent an elegant yacht from
one of Hilton Head's marinas, anchor in the Atlantic, and
celebrate your nuptials with hundreds of dolphins leaping
nearby. 
Planning the perfect Hilton Head Island Destination Wedding
isn't easy. Though the location is ideal, the small-town
atmosphere may make it tough to find some necessities. For
example, there are dozens of caterers and restaurants but only
two or three bridal boutiques and tuxedo rental shops—often,
local and in-coming brides and grooms find their attire
elsewhere and have it delivered to their Hilton Head wedding
location. Also, there are a few requirements and limitations
imposed on beach ceremonies (fines for unauthorized music,
etc.). The island's few restrictions only serve to maintain
Hilton Head's charming blend of quiet South Carolina
relaxation and vacation luxury.
Local wedding planners and event planners can be a big help
when it comes time to get things started. Because they are
familiar with the area, these professionals can be especially
helpful to the out-of-towner's destination wedding. Your event
planner can suggest florists, caterers, venues, music, and
beauty salons as well as negotiate a good price for all of
these essentials.
Most of the Hilton Head wedding vendors (caterers, florists,
reception locations, officiants, etc.) must be contracted
individually. Though sometimes an inconvenience, this scarcity
of cookie-cutter packages allows for a more distinctive
ceremony in which every aspect has been selected according to
the bride's and groom's preferences. |
If you aren't from the area, you'll probably need to book
accommodations for guests—and you're in luck; Hilton Head
Island has dozens of resorts, hotels, and vacation rentals.
Marriott has more than five on-island hotels; Hilton has two;
and there are many other resorts and inns along with hundreds
of villas, condos, and rental homes throughout the area.
Location is key when it comes to the ceremony. If a church
wedding is what you're looking for, Hilton Head has over 50
churches with almost twenty different religious denominations.
Also, aside from the many resorts and hotels here, many of the
plantations on Hilton Head Island and Daufuskie Island contain
graceful clubhouses, colorful landscapes, romantic gazebos,
waterfront restaurants, and rental yachts or sailboats for
those who love being on the water. The historic lighthouse at
Harbourtown has even hosted a few weddings.
Whether a massive ballroom affair or a small, family-only
beachfront ceremony, Hilton Head Island has all you need no
matter what you're budgeting. Our wedding services, planners,
locations, and officiants can help you pull off a dazzling
Destination Wedding whether traditional or innovative. We'll
help you find everything you're looking for and prepare for
your dream Destination Wedding.
