What an amazing place to hold a wedding! We just had our wedding here with 40 guests in for 5 days and it was absolutely perfect. The facilities are all top notch. Robbyn S. helped us plan every detail and made sure we didn't have to stress about anything. The communication during the entire planning phase was spot on. The food that we chose for the reception was absolutely delicious and every staff member we encountered all week was amazing. Special shout out to Kay, our bartender, as well as the staff at Waterscapes (Carrie and Nancy C) who were all so good to us.
I had a beautiful wedding at the Marina Inn at Grande Dunes. The staff was great, however -- the details that I had planned, but I didn't check up on in the hours leading up to the wedding were the ones that the staff forgot. They were sincerely apologetic, but it was too late to fix the things they forgot. I would recommend them, but you will definitely need to check up on the plan.
they did a great job with the reception and food!
Any questions?
We were married at the Grande Dunes Ocean Club which was amazing and had rooms set aside for out guest at the Marina Inn. It is on the waterway and overlooks the golf courses. The hotel is beautiful and the staff is great to work with. Our guest enjoyed their stay.
EVERYTHING WAS ABSOLUTELY PERFECT at the Marina Inn!! The banquet manager and all other staff were so eager to make our wedding day the best it could be. They were so accommodating and even dropped by the Sweetheart table to personally congratulate us and ask if we needed anything else! Merrill and his crew did a fantastic job!
I absolutely love this place! It is a gorgeous building set aside from all of the hustle and bustle of Myrtle Beach. Our Honeymoon Suite looked right over the waterway that leads into the marina area next to the hotel. Beautiful setting and was very peaceful. Even though we know there were others on our floor we were never aware. The hotel somehow seems to create a feeling of being the only two people in the world when you are there.
The staff is excellent and very helpful. Friendly as well. Our suite included a luxurious bathroom and kitchen and spectacular views. There is also a shuttle that takes you back and forth to the private beach area for hotel guests. I couldn't imagine anywhere better!
Marina Inn at Grande Dunes was absolutely perfect for my wedding! They were amazing to work with from the very beginning until the doors were closing the night of our wedding. I got so many great reviews and compliments on everything from the space and decor to the food (also catered by Marina Inn) and service. If you are getting married in the Myrtle Beach area, I highly recommend using Marina Inn at Grande Dunes!
