Charleston Harbor Resort & Marina

service of the coordinators, Hannah and Georgia to all of the wonderful bartenders/passers, and staff who helped set up tables. I loved every moment! I HIGHLY recommend having your special day here 🤍🤍🤍

asier and was able to accommodate all of my needs and requests, with no questions. Hannah is so nice & was a pleasure to work with. I seriously couldn't recommend this venue more!!! It was everything I had dreamed of and more. Everything is available right on the resort, so your guests don't even have to leave if they don't want to. It's an amazing hotel and extremely affordable compared to others in the area. We had our ceremony on the beach and then the reception in the Sunrise Terrace & Deck and both were so beautiful! You will not be disappointed choosing this as your venue.

closely with me. My guests stated it was easy making their reservations. Upon arrival, everyone was thrilled their rooms, enjoyed the site's amenities, and raved about the tiki bar and on-site restaurant. We all spent a lot of time at the pool during the day, and at the fire pit at night. Getting into and out of downtown Charleston was easy, and guests had a lot of options to choose from when trying to decide what to do during the day and at night. Mount Pleasant itself was a surprise with all of the restaurant options, and the proximity of the resort to Shem Creek offered even more options. And the Friday night beach concert at the resort was an added treat that we all enjoyed. At the event itself, which occurred at the Bridge Bar, the staff was so friendly and helpful, they really added to the warmth of the occasion. I highly recommend Chip the bartender. The food was beyond spectacular. The seafood buffet was fresh and diverse, and our guests commented that they had never seen such a fabulous spread. All of the food was delicious, but the party favorite was definitely the mac and cheese bar. Last, the views from the Bridge Bar during our event were just breathtaking. Our photos are fantastic from the beautiful light and the sunset was just spectacular. I highly recommend the resort for any occasion.

derful experience for our guests. The setting was beautiful with a spectacular sunset over Charleston harbor and the food and service were exceptional!

were carried out. We had some special requests that were outside the traditional norms and she was accommodating and helpful. The venue is in a beautiful location and all staff were helpful and friendly throughout the night!

their service was next level. I am amazed and so so thankful!

and every venue we booked was stunning. We had a beach wedding at sunset and it was timed out perfectly to match the sunset bathing us in golden light. The reception was at the yacht club and bridge bar which was beautiful! My favorite part was watching the sunset over the harbor through the large windows! We had so much fun!

ever stayed at. Georgia answered every single question I had during the planning process within a timely manner, and was so friendly and accommodating when we needed to make adjustments for our budget. From a venue perspective the wedding ran very smooth other than a few complaints from guests and other vendors that the wait staff were rude. We had 1 of our hotel blocks at CHRM and leading up to the wedding weekend it was great. Jessica (the group sales associate) was so helpful and detailed and on top of things. Unfortunately when the wedding weekend came everything went downhill. When I arrived to check in, the 2 guys working the front desk were very rude. They could barely figure out how to check us in and rolling their eyes and acted like it was an inconvenience...news flash this is your job. Later when my parents and other guests arrived they received the same treatment and I was personally told this at my wedding the next day which was quite embarrassing. We had our rehearsal dinner at the Fish House on the property which was great, highly recommend for your rehearsal, they were so friendly and food was amazing. However during our rehearsal, my 88 year old blind grandmother was trying to check in and they were told the hotel didn't have any handicap accessible rooms available. Even though on our room block listing that I was sent the week of the wedding, it showed a handicap code with her room. The rude front desk workers told her another wedding party had priority and there was nothing they could do (which doesn't make sense because we booked this as far in advance as you could). Finally my mom had to leave the rehearsal dinner to help sort it out, and in the end they upgraded to her a handicap room at the Beach Club....but the whole reason she booked a room was to be close to family since she's BLIND and 88 year old and she was no longer close to family in the other hotel on property. The last straw in all of this was that my parents room, the people who are spending thousands of dollars at this resort for the weekend, did not have any hot water to shower. My mom had to go around and use other family members showers for the weekend (including mine ON MY WEDDING NIGHT) and my dad just sucked it up and took a cold shower. Apparently maintenance showed up the next day and said you just need to let it heat up, but he took a 10 minute cold shower....it never warmed up. My bridal suite and my husbands grooms suite were both great with no issues but the other issues really just tainted my whole view of this "resort". For the amount of money that you spend to stay there, I would not call it a resort.

're paying nearly $800/night. My wedding location was dirty. My wedding was in on the beach portion of the resort and when we went down for the rehearsal, there was glass, actual rusty NAILS, and other debris in the sand. My niece had to try to track someone down to clean the sand. There is absolutely no privacy on the beach. Your wedding will take place next to a busy bar with a patio and the hotel pool. The front desk staff was the worst I've ever experienced. I was checking in and told the staff I was there for my wedding weekend and the response was, "um, let me see, I think you're right." It only went down hill from there. We were unable to get water, as in the lobby water dispenser was empty and the staff would not give us bottled water or fill the dispenser. It's hot down there! I and my wedding party were treated like a complete inconvenience. When I came down in my wedding gown with my mother, they said they would get a go-cart to the beach... we waited so long I was almost late to my ceremony. We ended up just walking! My job is also client-facing and I would lose business for certain if I treated people this way. Additionally, the bride and groom receive a complimentary night at the hotel on their wedding day. We stayed at the beach club and booked our room for several additional full-price nights, the same as several of our guests, and the room we were given was small and smelled strange while our guests were in corner units with an amazing view. We paid the exact same nightly rate... it feels like they would put the bride & groom in a special room especially when they're paying for several additional nights! Overall I was very disappointed with our experience at this resort.

ay, they were so open to allowing us options and letting us make calls on where the cocktail and ceremony would be as late as possible. Georgia was FANTASTIC to make it all flow well and make it a magical day. We chose to still have our ceremony on the beach and they brought out standing umbrellas and provided guests with umbrellas as well. The wait staff was so fun and danced with us while providing amazing service. Could not recommend them any higher.

planning a destination wedding, every time I came to town she happily met with me. She put me at ease, and quickly answered every question/concern I had. I can’t say enough about Georgia, but also the staff at the wedding/ reception were amazing I was getting compliments from my guests how amazing each bartender was. The servers even came out and danced with us during the late night music, it was just amazing. The venue is so beautiful and such a great wedding location! Just wow, my wedding day was a dream come true.

rofessional and quick to respond to questions about the venue! The property itself is gorgeous. We got married on the harbor beach and had our cocktail hour and the same location on the beach. The harbor and photo options are perfect! We had our reception in the Yacht Club. The staff were outside congratulating us as we entered the room. The service was great for our plated dinner! Beautiful venue and Georgia made the months leading up to and the day of so easy!!

aitlyn was an absolute gem during the entire planning process. We can’t wait to come back and visit year after year!

d! Beautiful, clean, and professional! The wedding could not of been prettier or more perfect! Amazing place!

ish House in the Harbor Room with personalized menus. Then, we had our reception at the resort's Yacht Club and Bridge Bar, and we had a total 13 rooms booked for 2-3 nights on a wedding block at the resort. The space was fantastic, the views of Charleston were second to none, and the staff were amazing. Kaitlyn is by far the best resort wedding events manager we've heard of. She's really on top of every question you could ever send her way, and her knowledge and experience shows. We originally had our wedding planned for May 30th at the Pavilion at Charleston Harbor, then COVID-19 hit in the middle of planning. Her communication, planning, and organization were greatly appreciated as the entire process for postponing and rescheduling the entire event were streamlined and straightforward (minimal stress). We ultimately transitioned our reception to August 15th in the Yacht Club and Bridge Bar (and so glad we did!). She also led all of the day-of activities with her staff, which was extremely helpful and she made the reception go through without a single hitch. Similarly, the banquet staff were fantastic. Servers were hardly noticed, but extremely accommodating. Bartenders were fun, skilled, and efficient. The food was absolutely fantastic (tastings was one of our favorite events); we ultimately had apps: lobster mac n cheese, caprese skewers, coconut shrimp w/ pineapple chutney and meals: ravioli with alfredo, crab cakes, and ny strip steak. In a heartbeat, I would recommend anyone getting married in Charleston to consider CHRM. We look forward to staying at the resort in the future for sure!

st a fluke but it wasn't. The entire wedding planning time, when I would send her an email, she would take weeks to respond (if she responded at all). I would have to continuously follow up with her to get questions answered. There were miscalculations in our bills throughout the process and overall the service from her was very VERY sub par. When I complained to her manager about it, even her manager/director brushed us off. It seems as if they were in denial and continued to say how Kaitlyn is "great at her job" and basically acted like I was just wrong. I am the type of person who never writes reviews or complains about service. In this case, I'm the customer and I'm telling the director that her staff is not great at her job and she won't even acknowledge what we are saying? That's bad service for someone who's dropping so much money on the biggest event of their life. The day of our wedding, I heard the service would be top notch from the CHRM wedding planner but it wasn't. I literally saw Kaitlyn twice the ENTIRE day/night. Once was when she passed the window while she was walking to another wedding on site (not even acknowledging me) and the second was when she came to the reception at the end of the night to ask if we wanted some food to go. "Sure, we'll take food to go!" until we realized there are no microwaves in our room. What are we supposed to do with a fridge full of food with no microwave? I've had several brides reach out to me since my wedding asking if the lack of communication from Kaitlyn was normal and I said yes. This is something they came up with on their own prior to reaching out to me. Unfortunately, the lack of communication form the CHRM wedding planner was the worst part of having a wedding there and it's a major concern. You have to be able to reach your wedding venue when you have a question and management there needs to realize that there is a big problem. Aside from the wedding venue's poor communication, there was also a lot of issues with the front desk telling my guests that our block was full when it wasn't, giving away our gift bags to wrong families who were in other weddings and even the great instance of my husband, the GROOM got kicked out of the Reel bar the day of our wedding for bringing a salad into the Reel bar while our friends were buying drinks. First off, we are spending a TON of money to host our wedding there and bringing a TON of guests onto the resort. If the Reel bar doesn't sell food and the GROOM is eating a salad with his best man who's with other paid customers drinking from the bar, what is the problem? the groom got literally yelled at and kicked out of the bar. How embarrassing and wrong. The only positives about having a wedding here. First, the room they put us in was gorgeous, the spa director (Tiffany) was amazing and super friendly and helpful throughout the entire weekend and the location in Charleston was breathtaking. To sum up my post, if you're going to have a wedding here, do it, but ONLY IF you hire your own FULL SERVICE wedding planner on the side.

the planning process, however the staff and Kaitlyn proved to be adaptable and prepared when our day of plan was altered because of severe weather that moved everything inside. The resort is a beautiful venue and the staff does take pride in making your event and stay as comfortable as possible. Our guests we very happy and said the food was delicious!

ng. We had our ceremony on the pier behind the resort, followed by a reception in the Yacht Club, which is an upper-level space that provides wrap-around windows overlooking the harbor and U.S.S. Yorktown. Kaitlyn did a great job communicating with us and making the wedding process flow much smoother even though we are located out-of-state. We also went with Reynolds Treasures as our wedding coordinator. Andrea and Christina did an excellent job making the wedding planning process much less stressful. They communicated with Kaitlyn throughout the process and leading up to the wedding. The 3 made a great team and provided a beautiful, well-planned wedding. The views, accommodations, and friendliness of staff at the resort make it an easy choice. Furthermore, the price was very fair. We checked out other Charleston area venues, but this resort seemed to have the best, most luxurious feel for the money. Great deal for the level of quality you get. Highly recommended!

Hoehn was an amazing person to work with and was so helpful throughout our entire planning process (especially with it being a destination wedding) and we are forever grateful to her and all her hard work. Our ceremony was on the beach club lawn and our reception in the yacht club and it was absolutely perfect for our Charleston wedding. All of our guests were amazed at the beautiful location and how friendly the staff was. Most of our guests stayed at the resort as well and were so pleased with accommodations. I can’t say enough great things about the Charleston Harbor Resort & Marina and if you are trying to decide if this is the place for you stop your search now and pick here and I promise you will be so happy you did! Thank you to everyone at the Charleston Harbor Resort & Marina for making our wedding an absolute dream come true!

! From the get go she was so accommodating, flexible and patient. She helped us make our special day more than we ever could imagine. The staff was so professional and fun and our guests raved about them. And the food! It was great! You don't hear about that often when talking about weddings but our guests loved everything! We had caprese skewers, crab cakes and sliders for apps and shrimp and girts, prime rib, roasted vegetables and a pasta station for dinner. We are so beyond happy with our experience at Charleston Harbor Resort and Marina and highly recommend it!

he day so easy for us and the room we stayed in was beautiful. We had our ceremony on the pier and then moved over the sunrise terrace for reception. I could not have asked for a better wedding. Food was amazing and I made my Own decor but barely needed a lot as we were in the water. I am so happy with our choice

we decided on re-creating that for our wedding. We hired the best band in town, Ben Fagan and the Holy City Hooligan's. Stage Presence llc. provided the band a stage and also a dance floor that went right in front of the stage in the sand. Everyone had an amazing time and danced the night away in the sand and under the stars! We had our "welcome party" for friends and family who traveled from out of town at the Fish House up stairs Bridge bar. It had a beautiful view of the bridge and the cocktail hour and hors doeuvres were wonderful. The ceremony was also held on the beach near the pier and was setup and positioned beautifully with the Harbor and Down town as the back setting. The beach area was perfect, it felt a little big at times as we only had 70 guests but gave people room to roam and explore the beach area and its amazing views. We had perfect weather in early April and couldn't have asked for a more amazing sunset. Cocktail hour was wonderful we had a special Bride and Groom's drink that the resort helped to accommodate for us. The passed Hors Doeuvres we very tasty we went with the mini crab cakes, mozzarella and tomato skewers, Shrimp cocktail, Hush puppies, and the favorite was the pulled pork sliders! We had stations set up for dinner instead of a traditional sit down, we wanted everyone to be able to mingle and it worked perfectly. The food was wonderful, Shrimp and Grits were a huge hit. The Pasta Station was a favorite as well. We had Prime rib and Sweet Tea Pork Loin as a carving station which were both very good, the prime rib was a little rare however it was big cut of meat, some of the guests enjoyed that some did not. We had a Salad bar but due to its location not many guests did not know it was there. They tried to keep it out of sunlight but unfortunately it was hidden on the back side of the bar. Guests were notified later the salad bar was available. Other than those minor details the venue, setup, and food were perfect! A big thank you to Kaitlyn for helping us with our big day, she was wonderful to work with! We had tons of questions and requests, she always answered them and worked with us for anything we needed. Thank you as well to all the staff at the Resort it was truly a weekend our family's will never forget. Everyone complimented the Resort, Food, the View, the Beach, as the best Wedding they had ever been to!! We can't wait to come back and visit next time we are in Charleston!!!

orable to say the least. Kaitlyn and Emily were the BEST on-site wedding coordinators. They were very tentative, knowledgeable and they shared the same passion as my wedding planner, which was making my fairytale wedding a dream come true. People are still talking about our wedding. Beautiful property, great location, outstanding food and AWESOME STAFF! This resort is simply the best.

ught needed help was cleaning up dropped drinks on the dance floor... we were partying hard but they did not think to clean that up during the party. But our party was beautiful and everyone was amazed by the food and beautiful venue!

The staff was so accommodating the entire weekend for all of our family and guests, most of which stayed on the property. It was super convenient to have the shuttle to take everyone downtown when needed, so there was no need to uber or drive all weekend. Our housekeeping for the resort was amazing, and took care of us all weekend (especially the night of our wedding when we had treats in the room for us!). Kaitlyn and Emily were really easy to work worth throughout the planning process, and very responsive with information in the proposal process! The day of they had everything under control and worked with my day-of coordinator all day long to make sure it was perfect! I haven't stopped hearing wonderful things from all of our guests about the food, and venue. We definitely made the right choice, and will be back to visit!

ad a lot of out of town guest so it was perfect for them. The food was good but if you choose the shrimp and grits self serve, make sure you hire a server because the shrimp were gone by 7pm at our wedding. Our coordinator was such a sweet sweet girl but good luck getting a response through email she seems as if she is way overwhelmed and too busy to answer my questions. Once the wedding was over and it's time to pay you have 30 days to pay but the person in accounting you must pay through is no where to be found. I called, emailed and finally after 15 days tracked him down after calling the front desk. He then stated he needed to get in contact with my coordinator about the taxes but here it is day 25 and still haven't heard from anyone trying to make the transaction. I've since called the coordinator and the accountant to check up on the situation and just simple try to pay even though the taxes are messed up left messages and emails and haven't heard back once again. Genuinely hope everyone else experience is much better than ours!

was sold at first sight. The resort property is gorgeous! The wedding coordinator I first worked with left the resort about three months before my wedding and one would think that would cause additional stress, but I can assure you the team at CHR&M wants your special day to go smoothly. I ended up working with Georgia and she was amazing! I thought I would have to get Georgia up to speed on the details, but was pleasantly surprised when I first spoke with her as it was as though I had worked with her all along. Our guests also loved the resort, the water taxi to downtown Charleston, and the overall location relative to downtown Charleston. If you're looking for a beautiful location and a team who cares about your wedding day, you can't go wrong with CHR&M.

tle to downtown Charleston, are within walking distance to several tourist spots, and has a nice "Charleston" feel without being to cheesy. Older hotel, but very nice and clean.

Ellen Harrington the coordinator owned every detail. I would highly recommend the venue and working with her.

Everything exceeded our expectations and we will definitely be back for our anniversary!

were looking for. Our guests had an incredible time. The food was fantastic and the staff was phenomenal. We wouldn't change a thing. It was amazing!

dinner at the Fish House next door and then we (bride and groom) stayed at and got ready at the Cottages on the other side of the resort. We had a few issues with communication in the planning process and I advised the resort to change their contracts since they were adding new rules and telling us stuff after the fact. Made it very frustrating at times. Make sure to ask lots of questions about reserving a block of rooms and how it works. They advised us to block off X amount of rooms and when we needed to add more they changed the price (after I put the first price on our invitations). Other than the few issues and frustration in the planning, the actual wedding day was 100% perfect and I wouldn't have wanted to have my wedding anywhere else!

ood was great. They were able to mix and match some of my favorites from several of tehir menus.

ffered a water taxi to transport our guests to out wedding venue (SC Aquarium) and they also made a special arrangement to keep their bar open after hours for us! There was a bit of confusion with the room billing at the end of the weekend, but overall it is a nice place to stay.

ING. We got an amazing deal on this prime venue and feel like it was a steal for everything it offered. Our entire wedding party and all our guest stayed at the resort as well which made everything easy and enjoyable. If I could do it all again I would 100%, no doubt, book my wedding at the Charleston Harbor Resort and hope to find more reasons to have events there!

thing, making sure it all went smoothly (down to pinning my dress up so the train would stop falling every time I danced). Additionally, the food was phenomenal - people are STILL raving about! As a bonus, the views are gorgeous!!! (The only reason I give 4 starts for Service is because they moved my room on the wedding day - to a smaller one - because someone had booked my suite for my wedding night.)

is what you are going for...or being dead set on this particular scenery because that is the only thing that will keep you sane when working with the resort/wedding coordinator. It is expensive and of course they try to squeeze every cent out of you unless you make them compromise. Then the coordinator doesn't seem to have any power or skill in regard making it a unique day for the bride that fits their needs and wishes. You will hear a lot of "NOs" (even for commonplace wedding practices like alcohol cutoffs) and will have to be extremely persistent / come up with your own compromises that they can't deny. If you have plenty of time I would get a lot of the fine details in writing and signed before even booking the venue. To sum it up...beautiful and unique venue but not hassle free, so you have to be either careless with unlimited funds or quite argumentative to get what you want!

lds at CHR&M because they are on the harbor but have a sand beach with a pier, and it was private. Their wedding coordinator, Ashley, was very nice, if not a little overwhelmed with our wedding. Awesome customer service, they provided a complimentary night's stay with champagne, chocolate covered strawberries and doggie bags for us after the wedding of our wedding food. VERY helpful staff, and we had an amazing wedding experience. Expensive, but it's Charleston.

ss!! We opted to have our wedding on a Sunday, which cut costs drastically. The rental fees included the dinnerware, tables, chairs, and basic linens. My guests loved the location! Our early encounters with the resort started off a little rocky since they changed wedding coordinators in the middle of it. (On a side note, after speaking with other wedding professionals and following the resort on Facebook….it does seem they have a high turnover in banquet/management staff). Ashley Nguyen was kind of thrown in to our wedding and there were previous details discussed with the previous wedding coordinator on staff there. Luckily, I had saved all the email correspondence and Ashley and I eventually got the details all worked out. It does seem that the resort will try to include numerous hidden charges after the contract is signed, so I recommend being extra diligent when ironing out the contract details. One issue we had been with our room block. Our rooms were originally described to us as Run of the House, which we were told was whatever guests preferred (view, bed, etc). However, many of my guests encountered problems at time of booking and were told of numerous upcharge fees and limited room options. Ashley and I worked this out prior to the wedding weekend and all of my guests got the rooms they preferred, but if we had a large block of rooms it would have been impossible to coordinate each one. The day of the wedding Ashley was amazing! She was one step ahead of everyone and had every detail under control. I was so impressed with her that entire day! She was there to help coordinate the ceremony and to assist me for anything we needed. She set up my candy buffet, revamped our centerpieces due to high winds, was there to take my veil off, made the dinner plates from the buffet for my husband and me, and even followed me to the bathroom and was handing me paper towels to clean the icing off after the cake smearing. My entire bridal party and immediate family members were so pleased with Ashley!

d about the resort and how great the rooms and service were. Their wedding planner, Ashley, was incredibly helpful and responsive in helping us with the planning and execution of everything. Would recommend to anyone!

d on the day of the wedding because we were off schedule. She made me, the bride, feel rushed during pictures, but she was very helpful the rest of the night. We had the ceremony on the beach and the reception on the outdoor covered patio. The site is just amazing. It is beautiful with stunning views of downtown Charleston. The resort is very unique, kid-friendly and clean. I would go back there any time and I would recommend this venue.

mily to stay during our wedding.
