Hilton Head Wedding Testimonials
Please contact our sales team for more information or to schedule a venue tour. "Planning a wedding during a pandemic, halfway across the country (destination wedding) isn’t the easiest task! However, Theresa was a phenomenal partner in the planning process. Theresa answered my questions before I even had them. She was my go-to person for not only wedding questions, but for general hotel, guest, and vacation questions as well. Theresa was so accommodating and quick to answer whether it was a phone call, email, or a last minute in-person meeting/trip to Hilton Head that I requested. I am a very organized and type A person, and Theresa exceeded my expectations of ensuring my timeline was followed and prompt, that I noticed no day-of hiccups, that guests were helped, and that everything was run smoothly. As a testament to the entire Sonesta catering staff, I cannot believe how friendly and accommodating everyone was. Staff put aside appetizers for my husband and I during co*cktail hour to ensure we had a taste of each item. They were also so prompt in serving dinner/drinks that my guests could truly enjoy the entire night without waiting for long periods of time. Theresa and the staff really make sure your day is well-run and special. I highly recommend the Sonesta and specifically Theresa for any brides looking for the perfect beach wedding!" Heather 7/7/2021 "Our daughter had her wedding reception at the Sonesta and it was AMAZING!! Theresa was fabulous, the food was the best we’ve had at a wedding, and the staff were smiling and helpful. Our guests commented it was the best reception they had ever been to. We are so happy we chose the Sonesta for this special day." Ellen7/1/2021 "Theresa was a dream to work with. We planned the wedding from Chicago and she was incredibly responsive. She worked with all of our vendors and made sure every detail was perfect. She completely went above and beyond to help us plan a wedding from over 900 miles away during a pandemic! The food was the best wedding for I have ever had. The bar tenders and servers were amazing. Everything was perfect." Kris 6/24/2021 "We just had the wedding of my dreams at the Sonesta Shipyard Beach Club! The venue was fantastic, the food was phenomenal, and Theresa was absolutely amazing to work with to make every dream come true! The single best decision (after selecting the best husband ever!) for our wedding was choosing the Sonesta for our venue. Even the sneak peek of our wedding photos on the property are gorgeous. You won't go wrong with this decision." Michelle 10/18/2020 "Best venue ever!! Theresa is amazing in every way! We had to move our wedding from May to September due to Covid and I ended up working with Theresa and she could not have been more gracious, understanding, and helpful. There were so many changes due to everything going on and it was so helpful to know I could trust her and the venue. Everyone said the food was amazing too! We had our reception in the Shipyard Beach Club and it was awesome! They've done a few updates which make a big difference. HIGHLY recommend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Nikki 9/25/2020 "The Sonesta Hilton Head venue was a dream come true and can not even begin to imagine a better place or team to work with while planning our big day. Everything was perfect!"
