The Porter Room was the perfect venue for our wedding! From the start, their communication was mainly via email, which was convenient and responsive. The space itself is great - it's a large, moldable area that allowed us to truly customize it for our special day. The easy access for set up and clean up was a huge plus, and the bar staff were amazing - timely, professional, and attentive to our guests. The event coordinator was also incredibly organized, available, and informative throughout the planning process. The beautiful marshlands in the back, lined with gorgeous oak trees, provided a stunning backdrop, and the blank canvas of the Porter Room resulted in photos that our guests are still raving about. I highly recommend this location for any event, especially a wedding!

Awarded Best of Zola
Having my wedding at the Seabrook Island Club was always my dream, so it was no surprise that it was the first decision (after saying yes to my now husband) I made when planning my wedding! We were lucky enough to be one of the first couples who had their reception at the newly renovated clubhouse and all of my guests to this day still talk about how beautiful it is there. Everything was taken care of with the utmost professionalism and kindness. Michelle, the wedding coordinator, was patient and answered every question we had--which was quite a lot due to planning a wedding during COVID. One of my favorite memories was waiting in the bridal suite with my husband after pictures and before cocktail hour--it was a quick moment we were alone together and Michelle brought us some hors d'oeurves and cocktails to enjoy before our guests arrived! I still cannot get over not only how beautiful the Clubhouse is, but how wonderful the staff is! It lived up and surpassed, my dream wedding!
