Sea Island Wedding Venues
Every story needs the perfect setting.
We don’t have one perfect place. We have many.
Imagine exchanging your vows along five miles of private coastline, with the setting sun as your backdrop. Fall in love all over again underneath a canopy of ancient oaks, the sunlight peeking through branches and hanging moss. Sea Island features exquisite interior settings, including the enchanting Cloister Chapel and historic Spanish Lounge. For the reception, consider one of our glittering ballrooms, an outdoor oceanfront venue, or one of Sea Island’s alluringly wooded and landscaped locations.

The Lodge is not available for the dates you have chosen. We are beginning an enhancement project on July 10 that will continue through August and thought it best to close sleeping rooms so that we would not negatively impact our guest experience. Our three golf courses, Golf Pro Shop, Golf Performance Center and locker rooms will remain open. Evening dining will be available at Colt & Alison and the Oak Room, and the bagpiper will continue to play from 7 p.m. to 8 p.m. each evening. Please check our other properties for availability. We are offering an Unlimited Golf Package at both The Cloister and The Inn during The Lodge closure.
