Kiawah Island Golf Resort offers a nondenominational chapel for up to 130, a six-thousand-square-foot ballroom at The Sanctuary hotel, and a clubhouse beside the Ocean Course's 18th hole, with the resort quoting weddings of up to 600 guests.
The resort organises its weddings around four settings: the oceanfront Sanctuary hotel, the Sanctuary Chapel, the golf clubhouses and outdoor Lowcountry sites among live oaks and marsh. The chapel beside The Sanctuary holds up to 130 guests. Its interior draws on historic Lowcountry churches, and a courtyard garden and colonnaded walkway lead to the hotel's Grand Oaks Ballroom, which covers 6,000 square feet and is a common choice for the reception.
On the golf side, the Ocean Course Clubhouse looks over the 18th hole and the Atlantic, on the ground that hosted the 1991 Ryder Cup and the 2012 PGA Championship. The Atlantic Room takes up to 120 guests, or around 300 with a tent on the lower lawn. The PGA Room upstairs seats 80 for dinner, and buying out the clubhouse allows an indoor plated dinner for more than 200.
