Choose your Venue
There’s a perfect location for every type of ceremony or reception. Small and intimate or large and extravagant, these award-winning wedding venues will provide the perfect backdrop for your nuptials.
The Dunes House
This special, 800-square-foot Hilton Head wedding venue provides expansive views of the ocean, while its adjoining 1,000-square-foot deck allows wedding guests to enjoy cocktails alfresco.
The Dunes House can accommodate up to 120 people, but can also be set up for much smaller events.
Centre Court Pavilion
This all-in-one wedding venue is designed to accommodate a wedding reception for up to 120 guests.
Bright and airy, this 1,628-square-foot wedding venue can be apportioned using moveable walls. Its covered, open-air dining pavilion is ideal for casual wedding luncheons or casual dinner buffets.
The Veranda at Arthur Hills
The Veranda at Arthur Hills can accommodate up to 160 guests providing beautiful views of the Arthur Hills golf course.
The space is 2,642 square feet (Inside: 1,479 | Outside: 1,163). Guests will enjoy the newly renovated interior room featuring sliding glass window walls that extend to an outdoor covered patio with views of the Arthur Hills golf course at Palmetto Dunes Resort.
Arthur Hills Golf Course
The award-winning Arthur Hills Golf Course at Palmetto Dunes provides a beautiful wedding backdrop featuring outstanding scenery.
This championship course, built on rolling dunes, provides ocean breezes and a picture-perfect setting for your special day.
Arthur Hills Grill
The Arthur Hills Grill is recently renovated and features brand new accordion glass doors that create a unified space between the Veranda Room and expansive patio area overlooking the Arthur Hills Driving Range.
Guests may utilize just the grill room or extend their rental to the Veranda Room.
Alexander's Restaurant & Wine Bar
Alexander's Restaurant & Wine Bar is the perfect lagoon-side setting for a wedding brunch, rehearsal dinner or intimate gathering of wedding party guests.
You can enclose the porch with the lagoon view for seating of up to 55 or reserve the entire restaurant for a maximum of 120 guests.
Toptracer Range
Treat your guests to a one-of-a-kind celebration at the Toptracer Range at Palmetto Dunes, where cutting-edge golf technology meets laid-back Lowcountry fun.
This high-energy venue is perfect for everything from welcome parties and bachelor/bachelorette events to send-offs that your guests will be talking about long after the weekend ends. Designed with flexibility in mind, the facility is ideal for private buyouts — the Bays comfortably host up to 64 guests indoors, but with thoughtfully arranged outdoor seating, celebrations of up to 120 guests feel effortless and engaging.
Shelter Cove Harbour and Marina Pavilion
Ideally located at the beautiful Shelter Cove Harbour & Marina, this brand new marina covered pavilion accommodates up to 150 guests and offers stunning views of the Intracoastal Waterway.
This alfresco location is perfect for both casual and formal wedding events and will leave your guests in awe as they take in the gorgeous marina sunset view.
Historic Hilton Head Rear Range Lighthouse
The Hilton Head Island Rear Range Lighthouse is located in the Leamington neighborhood of Palmetto Dunes Resort overlooking the Arthur Hills Golf Course.
It was built between 1879 and 1880. Although the faux lighthouse at Harbour Town, on the southern end of Hilton Head Island, is more widely known, the Hilton Head Rear Range Light is the island’s one true lighthouse. An intimate ceremony and cocktail hour for 25 guests can be planned at this location, with a reception at the Arthur Hills Clubhouse. Learn more about the lighthouse here.
