Fripp Island is beautiful and prefect place to get married. I recently planned my special day and due to Covid-19 had to cancel. The staff there are wonderful and go the extra mile. Nicole Tangalos went above to meet all my expectations to plan the prefect day. Very helpful and felt like I had someone who cared about my day as much as I did. When able will definitely plan there again.

I knew I wanted to have a beach wedding and wasn't sure what beach I wanted to have it at. I looked over the East Coast because I lived in Atlanta Georgia and was close to Alabama, Florida, North Carolina and Georgia Beaches. I had actually gone to a wedding on Fripp Island about 5 years ago and thought it was a cute private beach setting so I put it on my list and researched a whole bunch of venues in Charleston, Savannah and the Hilton Head areas. I sent a request in to Nicole and within an hour or two she had gotten back to me with venue options, catering menus, places to stay on the island for my guests and pretty much everything I needed to book the wedding. I immediately called her because I'm a phone person and wanted to get more details. Most of the time when you call a venue you get a voicemail, she picked up on the first ring. I felt very comfortable with her from day one and we continued that very friendly personable relationship with each other the entire year afterwards. She had sent me many different options and she helped me walk through each of the different options over the phone giving lots of details and suggestions for each \"the real insiders tips\". Nicole was very knowledgeable about weddings and it seemed like she had done many before mine. After our phone conversation, I looked at all the rav reviews online and knew this was going to be one of my top choices. I was excited about scheduling a site tour of the different venues on the island. I didn't want to put all my eggs in one basket so I scheduled a site tour with about five other venues that were around the Charleston and Savannah area. I went with my mom and my fiance about a year before the wedding to view all the venues. I toured the other venues first saving the best for last. The other venues were nice but there was always something a miss. Either too expensive, too crowded, or I was going to have to do alot of work to bring things together for my dream wedding. When I was driving to the island, I just knew this was \"the one\". Fripp Island Restart was by far the best tour experience and event manager experience I had the whole day. Nicole toured us all around the island, showing us reception and ceremony options. We originally wanted an outdoor reception but after looking at the Ocean View Lounge's view of the ocean, we knew that was the choice for us. We had the ceremony right on the beach in front of the venue and walked to the reception right afterwards (super convenient). I wanted to have everything in one place so no one had to drive and we could all spend the weekend together on a beach vacation. We all stayed next door at large and small rental houses and some even made it a longer trip and stayed the week. The setting was very private and relaxing exactly what I wanted in a beach wedding weekend. In regards to menus, I went with the Italian Feast Buffet and was very pleased with the food quality and portion sizes. We got many complements from the guests about how wonderful the food was. In regards to Event Management, Nicole was great! She made menu change after change, had us down for a for a tasting of the food and helped us secure all our guest housing on the island. It was a one stop shop which was wonderful because we lived 5 hours away. I even made some last minute changes because guests dropped out, needed to bring their kids or had crazy food allergies that I didn't know until the day of the wedding that she was able to accommodate.

My daughter and son in law just got married on Fripp 9/29/18. We heard about Fripp island Resort from a member of our family. When we visited in February and met with Nicole we knew this was the place to have the wedding. They were so accommodating and she was so sweet that I felt no stress through the whole planning process of this wedding. The island was beautiful which made everything that much better. We met with Nicole in August for our tasting of the food we had picked and it was amazing!! At the reception I had many people come to me and tell me how wonderful the food was and how much they liked the venue. They made us feel so welcome that we will visit again! Great place for a wedding venue!!

I have grown up vacationing at Fripp Island often and have always loved it, but I love it even more now after getting married there! We could not have asked for a more perfect place to have our wedding welcome party, ceremony, and reception! Merissa was such a pleasure to work with from start to finish. She was always there to answer questions, give advice, and even to help us with aspects of the wedding planning process that weren't related to Fripp. It rained on our wedding day and we had to move the ceremony inside at the last minute, but she made this process as simple as possible. Everything was gorgeous, the food was delicious (our guests are still raving about the food, especially the Filet Mignon), and all of the Fripp employees that assisted in our wedding night were incredible. In addition to the amazing wedding and food, Merissa helped make our wedding night even more amazing with a Fripp beach bag, glass of wine, 2 wine glasses, towels, and a sweet card all waiting for us in our room that night. If you are thinking about booking your wedding at Fripp, don't hesitate! We are already looking forward to coming back for our one year anniversary! Thank you Merissa for everything that you helped us with from the beginning to the end!

The day of my wedding it rained and they made the indoor back-up space look just as beautiful as it would have been if our wedding was to be outdoors as planned. The banquet staff is very attentive and friendly and the food was out of this world! I'm still getting compliments on how great the food was and how the staff made all my guests feel welcomed. Kathy and Merissa also helped my out of town family and friends find perfect accommodations and kept us all in the same area which made for a fun-filled stay while on the island. We did both our rehearsal dinner and ceremony/reception at Fripp and I would not have done it any other way.

Merissa with Fripp Island Resort was absolutely amazing! I contacted her almost a year and a half in advance and she stuck by me and helped with the entire wedding planning process from start to finish. From the beginning she worked within our small(ish) budget and gave us every possible option (even when we panicked a month before about the weather and our outside venue). On the day of the wedding, she went above and beyond and turned the dinning room of our rented beach house into a real wedding venue buffet complete with food, desert, decor, servers, etc. (I also want to compliment the catering at Fripp Island. Every single one of our guests raved about the food! ) It made our wedding day spectacular! If anyone is contemplating a beach wedding...this is absolutely the best place to do so!

I made one trip to the island during my planning and everything else was done online or over the phone. I honestly can not say enough about the staff, their friendliness and their dedication to making my day perfect. Merissa was so helpful and accommodating. Even on my most stressful days of trying to plan this from 4 hours away, she reassured me that everything would be fine....and it was!

My husband and I got married at Fripp Island beach club in October and everything from the service to the food to the beautiful location was absolutely perfect. We had our rehearsal party at Peg Leg's Marina. It was a nice quaint location with a delicious buffet meal. Everyone on the staff truly cares about their guests. They are accommodating, flexible and easy to work with. The day of the wedding, everything happened without a glitch. My guests raved about the food! (Some of the favorites were the grilled cheese bar, mashed potato bar, and prime rib station). The whole weekend was perfect. The staff helped with early check-in for guests when they could, they helped us find the perfect wedding night cottage to stay in, and packed us the perfect picnic basket of food ( since we didn't have much time to eat at the reception). One of the best parts is how affordable Fripp is compared to other south Carolina beach venues. We looked into four other locations on the beach and Fripp was by far the best priced for the beautiful location.

My husband and I got married at Fripp Island beach club in October and everything from the service to the food to the beautiful location was absolutely perfect. We had our rehearsal party at Peg Leg's Marina. It was a nice quaint location with a delicious buffet meal. Everyone on the staff truly cares about their guests. They are accommodating, flexible and easy to work with. The day of the wedding, everything happened without a glitch. My guests raved about the food! (Some of the favorites were the grilled cheese bar, mashed potato bar, and prime rib station). The whole weekend was perfect. The staff helped with early check-in for guests when they could, they helped us find the perfect wedding night cottage to stay in, and packed us the perfect picnic basket of food ( since we didn't have much time to eat at the reception). One of the best parts is how affordable Fripp is compared to other south Carolina beach venues. We looked into four other locations on the beach and Fripp was by far the best priced for the beautiful location. We would HIGHLY recommend this venue to anyone looking for an intimate nature filled location with amazing service !

My husband and I got married on Fripp Island this past October. The decision to have our wedding on Fripp was an easy one for us; we had been vacationing there for years together, and my husband all his life, and it is also the spot where he proposed. We knew how beautiful the island was, and Ellen Starling was ready to meet with us the weekend we got engaged if we were ready to begin discussions. Living in Atlanta, we were a little wary at first of planning a wedding from 5 hours away. However, Fripp made our planning experience so easy and enjoyable. They took care of all of the \"little\" details for us (bar, caterer, linens, tables, chairs, etc.), so we were able to focus on the larger decisions that were imperative to creating the perfect weekend. Ellen was unbelievably accessible and was so great to work with; our wedding would not have been the success it was without her help. From helping us find the perfect accommodations for our bridal party, outlining every logistical detail, to even helping us find a condo to rent for our honeymoon the week of the wedding after an unexpected hurricane wiped out our original destination. When gnats were swarming us during the rehearsal, Ellen even had a fix for that! We could not have anticipated a better wedding weekend. The Bonito Boathouse with its views across the marsh was the perfect island locale for the rehearsal dinner; the lawn with its views of the ocean was the most gorgeous backdrop for the ceremony; the Tidal Hall lent itself to the best party of our lives with southern-style wrap-around porches overlooking the lawn and the beach, a built-in bar with an excellent selection, and the most mouth-watering food that our guests are still raving about. Our guests have time and again told us how much fun they had at the wedding and on Fripp the whole weekend. If I could do it all again, I would not change a thing! A special thanks to Ellen and all the Fripp staff for an incredible experience!

We had an amazing experience at Fripp Island. The Venue was incredible and everything we hoped it would be. The Staff was exceptionally professional and extremely accommodating. The Food was fabulous and fairly priced. And I honestly can't think of anything that wasn't exactly what we hoped it would be. I am a General Manager at a Country Club so I am very familiar with all the hard work that goes into an event of this nature and how important it is to pay attention to the little details. The Fripp staff definitely did that every step of the way. We did the rehearsal dinner, the reception and a brunch the next morning right there at the resort and all three functions went off without a hitch. \r\rKathy Kluttz and Merissa Liscombe were truly remarkable. They were wonderful to work with were ultimately responsible for making the entire weekend relatively stress free and overwhelmingly enjoyable.\r\rI have to admit, I was not exactly thrilled that my daughter wanted to get married on the beach and not have the reception at my Club. But now that it's over, I can't imagine not doing it at Fripp Island.\r\rIt is without reservation that I highly recommend Fripp Island Resort and their wonderful Staff to anyone looking for an incredibly special venue and unforgetable experience.\r\r

Fripp island resort was the perfect venue for our wedding! Having nearly everything made out event a one stop shop which was extremely easy and helpful. I was so impressed with the food at both the rehearsal and reception. Almost every one of my guests said it was fantastic food. Ellen was the perfect coordinator for our outdoor event. She made sure we got exactly what we wanted and was very flexible about our special requests. Everywhere on Fripp is gorgeous which made it easy to take pictures anywhere on the island. This beach is the perfect place for weddings and parties, I couldn't have been happier with everything!

The Fripp Island Beach Club was the perfect setting for our daughter's wedding. Our Fripp Island guest services planners were so friendly and gave us many options for menus, bar set up, and room planning. They were very accessible, any day, when I had a question or concern. I was thrilled with how cheerfully they handled my personal requests an attended to every detail. The flexibility in service and billing was greatly appreciated. We started out with first look pictures on the beach by the ocean, then had the ceremony on the lawn by the beach club overlooking the beach. The reception room was set up and ready to go. The chairs were set up and the staff assisted with flowers and decor. The resort had a list of dependable vendors to help us that day. After the ceremony, the resort catered an outdoor cocktail reception with open bar and passed appetizers to everyone's delight. When we started the reception upstairs in the ocean view room, everything was perfectly set up. Our guest made many positive comments on the quality of the food, and the resort provided a dance floor which was in use most of the night. The bartenders were superb, with great service. Everyone had a fantastic time. I would definitely use Fripp Island Resort again for another wedding or special event. Working with experienced professionals really made the difference to have a successful event! They also took care of all the accommodations for a guests, and everyone was thoroughly pleased with their choices. My daughter was ecstatic with the upgrade in their accommodations. This was unexpected and I commend the resort for their generosity and special attention!

As soon as I was engaged I started looking for venues. Every place I looked at seemed like the same basic, boring places everyone in town decided to get married. My fiance and I didn't want the same cookie cutter wedding and decided a location wedding suited us. It wasn't until my fiance suggested we get married at our favorite resort, Fripp Island, that my plans started falling into place. \r First, I called up the event manager, Ellen, and I was so excited after that initial phone call. She was just as excited as I was about getting married on Fripp Island. She was so helpful and gave me a list of all the local vendors near there and even helped me stay within my budget for the big day. \r On the wedding day I was in such a hurry trying to set up all the decorations and didn't have enough to get everything ready. I was very distraught to say the least and then Ellen told me not to worry about a thing and that she would have everything set up just the way I wanted it. I felt so taken care of! She really went above and beyond her duties to help make my day perfect!\r The wedding was only something I could ever dream about because it was that perfect! Everything was in order and was in place. The views were just breath taking and the pictures are seriously to die for! The scenery was only something I could get from having my wedding at Fripp Island. I highly recommend this venue to anyone and everyone!

We've been vacationing to Fripp Island for several years now, and knew we were going to get married there even before we got engaged. The overall experience was absolutely wonderful. The staff did an excellent job communicating with us, as we were planning from a different state. My only recommendation to a planning bride would be to ensure you clearly communicate with the staff prior to the wedding day. There were a few hiccups on the day of the wedding (none that anyone else would notice), but I think we could have benefited from clearly communicating who would be \"in charge\" throughout the reception and what our expectations were for the rehearsal dinner. None of these issues were noticed by anyone except us, so they were truly not a big deal, just something to keep in mind. That said, if I could get married everyday for the rest of my life, I would also go back to Fripp Island Resort for it.

When we first looked at Fripp we were told one thing regarding prices and venue and then when it came to paying we were told something completely different. The venue is beautiful on the ocean front.\rEvery time we thought we were getting somewhere we would receive a call and take 12 steps back. We kept getting bothered about the amount of food we requested. They kept telling us that they thought we didn't have enough. We knew that planning for 150 not all 150 would come. When it came down to final count we figured about 80 people were going to come. They continued to argue that we needed more food. We ended up paying for 124 and I don't even think 80 people showed. Left overs can not be taken off property so food/money went to waste. \rWhen it came time to set up for reception the chairs they set up were filthy. We asked for someone to wipe them down and they stated they did clean them. So we asked for a rag and cleaner and they brought up dirty rags that has been dipped in plain water. \rWe suggested less tables to be set up and they insisted on what they thought needed to be done. Now don't get me wrong it is not like I have every planned a wedding before but I knew our guests. I also knew most of our guests and have seen how they were at previous weddings that were held 6 months prior to our wedding day. \rI was just very disappointed in the way things were handled during planning for my special day. Every time I turned around there was another cost that was not mentioned before. And unfortunately we could not back out because of the deposit and contract having already been made 9 months prior.
