The Seabrook Island Club is the most beautiful wedding venue with a wonderful wedding coordinator, friendly and accommodating staff, and delicious food!! The location overlooking the ocean is stunning. The wedding coordinator Michelle was so helpful and went above and beyond to make sure our day was perfect!! She helped us plan from start to finish. We didn’t have a wedding planner so we really relied on Michelle to help us with a lot of the decisions and she was very knowledgeable and great to work with. She answered calls and texts at all times of the day and was always quick to respond! The staff was friendly and provided the highest level of service.

Venue considerations

  • Best for events with big guest lists
My husband and I had THE most magical wedding day all thanks to Victory North! Me and my entire family have worked in the wedding industry for 10 years so picking a venue was a big decision for us. We toured so many locations and Victory North was by far the most amazing. They include the chairs and tables and so many other things within the venue rental whereas most other venues you have to pay a large amount and it doesn't include anything. The only downside to our wedding day is that it rained our entire wedding day, start the finish with no stopping. While this may seem like a nightmare, Victory North made it so perfect still. We had considered tenting the courtyard but it was simply raining too hard to do that. We had the ceremony inside and it was THE MOST stunning, intimate, and romantic ceremony ever. I may be bias saying that but we had so many guests say the same thing! So if you are an anxious bride and worried about a rain backup plan, this is your venue!! In addition to all the amazing things already mentioned, the 3rd floor space at Victory North is absolutely the best part. A lot of my friends that have gotten married recently have had to get ready in a closet or use a restroom as the holding place before the ceremony. Victory North will have you posted up like a queen and there is so much space up there. We had all our bridal party and both sides of our family upstairs before the ceremony and never felt cramped. I can't recommend Victory North enough!!

Why Is South Carolina the Perfect Wedding Destination?

South Carolina offers a wedding landscape that's truly unforgettable. You'll find historic Charleston mansions with breathtaking 18th-century architecture, oak-lined plantation entrances that create dramatic photo opportunities, and Lowcountry waterfront settings showcasing spectacular marsh views. Looking for variety? The state delivers everything from coastal properties with sweeping Atlantic Ocean panoramas to secluded barrier island venues that capture South Carolina's natural beauty at its finest. June tops the popularity charts for venue inquiries despite the summer heat; those coastal sea breezes make all the difference.

Wedding venues in South Carolina typically run about $7,821, eating up roughly 17% of your total wedding budget.
