Dunes Golf and Beach Club Wedding Ceremony and Reception Spaces
The Dunes rental includes the Ballroom, the Atlantic and Palmetto Rooms and the Front Lawn. As a result, you get an indoor ceremony option, an outdoor ceremony option and room for a large reception under one booking.
For instance, many couples marry on the lawn, then move inside for dinner and dancing. Because the rooms sit close together, your guests also move between the ceremony, cocktail hour and reception without a long walk. In addition, the venue is wheelchair accessible, and amplified music is allowed indoors and outdoors.
How to Book a Wedding at The Dunes Golf and Beach Club
Because The Dunes is a private club, weddings go through the Catering and Events team. First, call 843-848-6839 or use the contact form on thedunesclub.com. Next, ask for your date. Then tour the ballroom and lawn.
Also ask how the club handles non member weddings, which dates are open and what the ceremony rain plan is. Overall, I recommend that you book your venue first, then your photographer, because Saturday dates fill early.
Dunes Golf and Beach Club Wedding Cost
The Dunes does not publish a price list on its site. One wedding directory lists a venue rental fee starting at $30,000 per event, meals from $52 per person and a 24 percent service charge. That figure comes from a third party listing, so please confirm every number with the Catering and Events team before you plan around it.
However, the rental fee is only one part of your budget. Food, alcohol, flowers, music and photography add to it. My photography is a custom quote based on your date and coverage hours, so send me your date and I will price it for you.
Before you book, ask these questions:
- What does the rental fee include for my date?
- What are the food and beverage minimums?
- What service charge and taxes apply?
- Which spaces are open for my guest count?
Getting Ready Before Your Dunes Golf and Beach Club Wedding
Brides and grooms get ready in private rooms at the club, and those rooms give me window light for your detail photos and portraits. For example, I photograph the dress, the rings, the invitation suite and the quiet moments before the ceremony.
Plan for about an hour of getting ready coverage. As a result, I can photograph your details without rushing, and you stay on schedule for the ceremony.
Best Wedding Photo Spots at The Dunes Golf and Beach Club
The Dunes gives me several backdrops in one place: the front lawn, the ballroom, the golf course and the lagoon, with views toward the ocean. First, I scout the light on your date. Then I pick the spot that flatters your ceremony time.
Likewise, the golf course and the lawn give soft, open light in the late afternoon. Meanwhile, the ballroom works for your first dance, toasts and reception photos. For example, many of my favorite portraits happen in the ten minutes after the ceremony, when the light is warm and everyone is relaxed.
