Best Wedding Venues in Kiawah!!
Imagine walking down the aisle with the Atlantic Ocean glistening in the background, a gentle sea breeze weaving through the air, and your closest friends and family gathered in a setting that feels both luxurious and deeply personal. Kiawah Island offers some of the Lowcountry’s most spectacular wedding venues, and at the very top of that list are The Ocean Course and The Dunlin. Here’s why they could be the perfect choice for your wedding day.
1. Iconic Oceanfront Beauty
When it comes to a Kiawah Island wedding venue that makes an unforgettable first impression, The Ocean Course is unmatched. With sweeping Atlantic views, lush greens, and a dramatic coastline, it’s a photographer’s dream. Ceremonies on the event lawn offer unobstructed vistas, while the wraparound clubhouse porch is ideal for cocktails at sunset.
The Dunlin’s beauty is more intimate but equally striking—marshland views, manicured gardens, and architecture that blends seamlessly with Kiawah’s natural surroundings.
2. Lowcountry Luxury at Its Finest
The Dunlin, part of the Auberge Resorts Collection, brings elevated hospitality and Southern charm together seamlessly. You can host events across multiple beautiful spaces—from the rustic-yet-refined Shippon Barn to sprawling lawns shaded by live oaks. This is the kind of place where the details feel intentional, the service feels personal, and every guest leaves raving about the experience.
3. A Destination for Guests to Remember
Your guests can turn your Kiawah Island wedding into a weekend getaway. Between spa treatments, world-class golf, kayaking, biking, and miles of pristine beaches, there’s no shortage of things to do before and after your celebration.
4. Picture-Perfect Backdrops for Photography
As Charleston-based wedding photographers, we know all the hidden spots that make Kiawah Island portraits magical. We love how much variety these venues offer in a single location—dunes, live oaks, boardwalks, elegant architecture, and wide-open skies. Your gallery will have depth, diversity, and that unmistakable Lowcountry glow.
5. Flexible Spaces for Every Guest List
Whether you’re hosting an intimate elopement or a grand 200-guest celebration, both venues offer indoor and outdoor settings to match your vision. You can host your ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception all in one location—or spread events across multiple spaces for variety.
6. A Wedding Experience That Feels Like You
The Ocean Course offers grandeur and a world-class edge; The Dunlin delivers intimacy and boutique luxury. Both ensure your wedding feels authentic to your love story, elevated by the natural beauty and refined service Kiawah Island is known for.
