KEES Vacations' Sweet Carolina was the perfect venue for our wedding. Their communication throughout the planning process was easy, direct, and timely, which made everything run smoothly. The staff was incredibly helpful, showing up to lend a hand whenever we needed them, and they even sent us a nice little gift to congratulate us. Our family and friends had a wonderful time celebrating with us at the beautiful Sweet Carolina location. We had a big storm during our event but we had a tent from Metro Rentals and still had a blast. We are so happy we chose KEES Vacations to host our special day.
