Wild Dunes Resort can take a company meeting, a multi-day conference, a group reunion or a wedding, with 35,000 square feet of indoor meeting space and a set of outdoor venues on the beach and lawns. The resort sits on Isle of Palms, a barrier island east of Charleston, South Carolina, and groups can sleep on site in two inns and a range of residences.
Seminars and company events
The resort presents itself as a meeting destination for the American South and runs a dedicated meetings team. The indoor space can be split for a general session, breakouts and a boardroom, and the outdoor venues are used for receptions, team dinners and evening events. The resort also handles groups and reunions as a separate offer, which suits a sales team, an association board or a family gathering spread over a long weekend. Food and beverage menus for groups are published by the resort.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings are sold with ocean-view settings for the ceremony and the reception. Couples can combine an outdoor ceremony with a dinner indoors or under the Grand Pavilion, and guests can stay in the inns or in vacation rentals across the resort.
Rooms and capacities
The total indoor meeting area is 35,000 square feet. Named spaces include the Indigo Room in the Sweetgrass Inn, set up for classroom-style sessions, the Osprey prefunction area beside it, and the Avocet Boardroom for smaller meetings. Outside, the Grand Pavilion is a beachside space near the pool that takes round tables for dinners, and the croquet lawn under the trees works for receptions. The resort does not publish a guest count per room, so capacities are confirmed with the meetings team.
Accommodation
The Sweetgrass Inn has 153 rooms and the Boardwalk Inn has 93, which gives 246 hotel rooms in total. The Residences at Sweetgrass and a portfolio of vacation rentals add larger units for families, wedding parties or executives who want more space.
Catering
The resort runs seven restaurants all year and four more in season, including the Indigo Rooftop. Group meals, receptions and banquets are served from the resort's own kitchens with dedicated food and beverage menus.
History and setting
Isle of Palms faces the Atlantic, and the resort occupies a long stretch of its beach, with pools, lawns and walking paths between the inns. The setting gives groups a quiet base where sessions, meals and free time happen on the same property.
Getting there
Charleston International Airport is about 23 miles away. Downtown Charleston is reached by road across the Isle of Palms Connector and Mount Pleasant. Most groups arrange coach or shuttle transfers from the airport.
