The entire process of planning a destination wedding aboard The Carolina Girl was amazing. I picked their venue because they were originally so responsive and this continued throughout the planning process, I never waited more than a day for a return email or call! This venue is perfect from a planning perspective, it includes tables, chairs, linens, DJ, bar service and day of coordinator. Every staff member was organized and paid attention to detail, yet were still incredibly fun and easy going. Jessica the day of coordinator didn’t miss a beat- she even brought me drinks when she noticed I was low and could be seen dancing aside the dance floor with her clip board. My husband and I both said that the whole experience was much better than we could have even expected. Great scenery followed by a great sunset and fun dancing. 10/10 experience all around. Thank you Courtney, Camille, Jessica, and the entire Carolina Girl staff!

This was such a fun and unique venue!! My husband and I had a dream of getting married on a yacht and we were so excited to find the Carolina Girl! I was so impressed by how friendly the staff and crew were! They went above and beyond to help me and my husband have a magical day despite the rainy weather. Sarah Beth was my day of coordinator and she was absolutely incredible! The bartenders were so friendly as well!

We had our rehersal dinner on the Carolina Girl and it was the best decision! From start to finish, their team was kind helpful and efficient. Things went smoothly and it was a beautiful tour. Highly recommend them and pairing the cruise with Hometeam BBQ. Our guests loved this as our rehersal dinner!

The staff and crew was awwwmazing to say the least. The DJ played everything we requested and filled in with songs that kept us on the dancefloor the entire time. The coordinator made sure everything went as well as planned even down to fixing our plates at the end of tonight down to making sure we had something to eat. The route that the captain took us on was gorgeous combined with perfect weather ee had picture perfect photos all night long.

Words could NEVER express how OUTSTANDING the staff is on The Carolina Girl! They all worked together with my husband & I to create a seamless, elegant wedding event. Our guests remarked many times that this was by far the most enjoyable wedding they'd ever experienced. Ashley & Monica made sure that all our vendors were coordinated & on time. Captain Murray has excellent navigational skills, and is a wonderful host. My wedding was much better than I'd ever imagined.

Carolina girlWow! All I can say is wow! Our friends and family have sent me texts all week saying our wedding was the best wedding they've ever been to, and a LARGE part of that is owed to the staff at the Carolina Girl. They were very detail oriented and made sure everything was just as we wanted and expected. I am an organized person, but Ashley helped me realize things that weren't on Pinterest or any checklist. She went ABOVE AND BEYOND in every way possible from bustling my dress, to helping with decor to ensure my vision, to handling confrontations as they arose. It is not an exaggeration to say my wedding day wouldn't have been the same without her. Many family members chatted with captain TJ, and enjoyed learning about the yacht, and the bar staff was amazing making sure no one had to wait for their drinks. I fell in love with the venue when I saw it online, but the ambiance isn't even half of what they will contribute to make your day anything short of amazing!

I think this may have been everyone's favorite part of our wedding weekend, the Welcome Cruise on The Carolina Girl Yacht! This was an absolute BLAST for everyone in attendance. The children, wedding party, parents, grandparents and everyone in between couldn't stop talking about the stellar service, fun environment, constant $ shots for the photographers and overall beauty of this cruise! Ashley Davis is the most responsive person that we worked with in our entire wedding experience so expect top notch service from this girl! Thank you to everyone on the Carolina Girl for making an unforgettable evening for our friends and family!

We held our ceremony and reception on the Carolina Girl and I could not imagine a better place to have a wedding. Ashley is the best to work with. She is incredibly knowledgeable and provided such helpful insight. She answered all of my questions right away, which made each decision super easy. I had the best time planning my wedding with Ashley. Monica, the day of coordinator, was wonderful. She flawlessly coordinated the entire event; she went above and beyond to make the day perfect for us. Everyone from the Carolina Girl made the entire wedding planning process and day of completely stress free and truly the best day ever.

Just YES! I booked The Carolina Girl for my son's rehearsal dinner. I live in upstate SC and couldn't be between home and Charleston. Ashley at The Carolina Girl took care of everything! She was fantastic to work with and I was able to simply enjoy the event. The venue was first class and the crew was so accommodating. You cannot get a better view in Charleston for any event. You can't go wrong with this venue for your wedding or rehearsal dinner.

We had our wedding on the Carolina girl and we had an absolute blast! Ashley was amazing to work with and did everything to ensure we had the perfect day. The only thing I would say is the DJ on the boat did not communicate with us very much and only played a few songs we requested to hear before hand. Other than that, the Carolina Girl is a fantastic and unique venue. All of our guests loved it!

By far the most beautiful yacht in Charleston,S.C. Everything about the Carolina Girl says awesome. Everyone from the Capt. to the service staff make your time aboard special. It is obvious to anyone that has had this experience that it has happened many, many times in the past to have come to this moment. I would recommend anyone to use this service without hesitation! Each and every one of your needs will be meet above and beyond your expectations. Thank You Again, Capt. Bob and the Carolina Girl

I recently attended my sister's wedding aboard The Carolina Girl, and I can say with certainty that it was the most remarkable and memorable wedding I've been to. We were blown away by the staff and their fine attention to detail. This day was such a special occasion that we have dreamt of our entire lives, and due to the staff, the beautiful Charleston Harbor and the stunning yacht every expectation was met. Ashley, the in-house event planner, executed every aspect of planning from start to finish with great care and was an absolute pleasure to work with, and Captain Bob was so much fun, everyone enjoyed his presence throughout the evening the night of the event . We knew we were in great hands from the time we began the planning stages before the wedding all the way through the end of the evening of the event and could not be happier with my sister's very special day!!!

This was the BEST wedding I have ever attended. My girlfriend recently got married on the Carolina Girl. If you are looking for something really special and unique, this venue is it!! The yacht is beautifully appointed and Captain Bob and his crew are very nice and attentive. Ashley took care of every detail and the wedding went off without a hitch. They even provided wheelchair service to help the elderly folks get on board. I really love that we traveled around Charleston harbor with its spectacular views. The DJ system was the best I have heard and we all danced and had so much fun!! My girlfriend was so happy that she chose this venue and I can tell you that I will never forget this wedding and how much fun we all had. Thanks Captain Bob and crew!!

What a lovely boat and nice venue on the Carolina Girl. Just enjoyed a wedding on the boat but wanted to share a few tidbits for brides to be aware of.The boat is actually docked about 1/4 mile away from the dock which is a very long walk, especially in high heels or with elderly guests with disabilities. We were expecting a small boat to ride us to the big boat, by the time we got on the boat most were sweating, feet hurting and elderly verging on heat exhaustion. Once onboard we were greating by Captain Bob who was very nice to all. The dining room was beautiful, flowers exquisite but if your looking for the perfect finihsing touches just be aware.We sat down at a table serving Chinet from Wallmart, Linen on the tables with plastic pic forks and Knives. It was weird because our entree was Filet Mignon and after I broke and snapped two forks trying to cut into that steak, I gave up eating my meal, my boyfriend tried to the same avail, and took his steak and pierced it and ate it with his hands. The caterer should have been aware not to serve this using plastic and it just made the whole gorgeous spread look painfully tacky. The Boat itself is clean and orderly, and the staff working that evening was very nice. However, another thing I noticed when getting off the boat (Which was very hurried) at 10PM is that the Brides mother was told by the wedding planner she would have her things off the boat and on the dock. Now when you pay a wedding planner to do a wedding one would assume, she would execute the end of the evening taking care of this. Brides parents had a bus waiting on all guests and they needed to get us guests back to our hotels, mom and dad did just that. However all the Gifts/ cards/ items for family and florist were left unattended at the dock near the boat. The parents had to go back and retrieve all items with nobody watching guard of any of their items. This could have been stolen so easily. What was said is that \"There are Wheelbarrows for you to put your stuff on to schlep all the way back 1/4 mile to your car. You would think after spending a lot of money for this sort of venue they could have at least offered a better solution than that. As a guest, I enjoyed it so much but If I had been the parents of the bride and groom I would have been FURIOUS. You can not change what happened the event is over and will not happen again so there is no second chances here. So If you decide to choose this venue be certain to work thru what is mentioned here.Concept is great, it needs to be fine tuned and more attention to details.

My granddaughters wedding was spectacular on the boat. Captain Bob is very personable and his staff was very attentive to our guest. Be sure To clarify what Linens are included. The proposal states \"Linens Provided\". Upon arrival there were no Cloth Napkins to go with the Tablecloths. When I questioned the missing Cloth Napkins, I was told they only provide Tablecloths. Too bad such a beautiful event had to be tarnished by Napkins.

The Carolina Girl Yacht hosted our rehearsal dinner and it could not have been a more perfect evening. Our guest were completely blown away be the experience. Leading up to the event the planning process was very simple. Ashley was very helpful and quick to answer any question I had. They provided a preferred vendor list and you really cant go wrong with any of the vendors. Leading up to the event the DJ provided a link to a site to select music. The site was very easy to use and had every song imaginable. The staff was very professional, a ton of fun and very engaged with the guest. Captain Bob was extremely outgoing and kicked off the night on the mic with a short intro and a great start to the party. They made the evening that much more enjoyable for everyone on the ship. I would highly recommend The Carolina Girl Yacht for your rehearsal dinner or wedding.

Fantastic venue!!! If you want a fun, unique wedding that your guests will love, book them now!! The breeze, the beautiful view at sunset and the fact that you're on a yacht is reason enough. So many people are still telling me it was the best wedding they have ever been to. Captain Bob is personable and creates a fun, exciting atmosphere while Ashley (my in-house wedding planner and head events coordinator) made sure everything went flawlessly. She even bustled my dress!!! Who does that? :) She's amazing! They truly went above and beyond and gave us the perfect day.

The Carolina Girl not only met but exceeded our expectations and contributed to making this special day extraordinarily exceptional. We chose the Carolina Girl for our wedding and reception after evaluating several different venues. Like others, we wanted something unique and exciting. We chose them for our wedding based on our experience with the people we interacted with like Capt. Bob and Camille and based upon feedback from others who had used them in the past. We could not have been more pleased with the professionalism and care the staff showed both preparing for the event and during the wedding.\r\rAs an event planner, Camille took great care to help us identify and recommend several different options for everything we needed including caterers, flowers, pictures, etc. She ensured everything went smoothly leading up to the wedding and that nothing was left to chance. All of her preparation paid off as everything happened exactly when it was supposed to on the day of the wedding and the boat staff was fully prepared.\r\rThe day of the wedding, Ashley was a consummate professional and handled any issues that arose quickly and effectively. We even had a problem with one of the vendors however Ashley jumped in and immediately handled the situation without any fuss on our part. She was a pleasure to work with; we could not have pulled this off without her.\r\rThe staff was extremely professional and on more than one occasion went out of their way to make this event special not only for us, but for our guests as well. We want to personally thank Captain Bob as he was forthright about ideas for making the event great and providing insights into what he has seen that works best while keeping the wedding unique to our tastes.\r\rAs others have shared with their feedback, all of our guests described it as the best wedding they had ever attended! We highly recommend this venue and staff to anyone.\r

It was such a beautiful setting, and the food from Jim & Nick's was delicious. Camille was incredibly professional and punctual with responses during the planning process. She quickly responded to all emails and made sure all of our (many) questions were answered to our satisfaction...she is the best! The night of the cruise, Ashley was incredibly helpful.

The Carolina Girl is the BEST venue in Charleston! I found The Carolina Girl online while researching venues for our destination Charleston Wedding. We wanted to do something different and once I found The Carolina Girl website online I knew had found our venue. Camille was a dream to work with in the planning stages of our nautical themed wedding and always got back to me ASAP when I had questions or concerns. She provided a list of preferred vendors and that’s how we found our amazing caterer Hamby Catering and fantastic photographer Red Shutter Studio. \rCaptain Bob was a fantastic captain and officiant. He added that special something to our wedding ceremony and was great with all of our guests during the reception. We also loved the Captain’s crew and bartenders for their professionalism and expertise during our wedding. I know our party kept the bar busy all night long!\rWhile I was hesitant at first about not being able to meet our day of wedding coordinator before our wedding day, all of my worries went away once I met Ashley. Ashley was extremely organized and we had a blast with her! When I forgot to bring the music for our first dance she was on top of it and made sure we had it downloaded before the boat left the dock. Ashley always made sure Ryan and I were taken care of with a drink or anything we needed. She kept the night running smoothly and I cannot thank her enough. \rMany of our guests have told us that it was one of the best weddings they have gone to in a while and The Carolina Girl is in large part the reason why. I would recommend the Carolina Girl to anyone planning a Charleston Wedding!

The Carolina Girl is a unique venue with a wonderful crew who impressed us every step of the way. From the very beginning we could tell that the Carolina Girl employed the best of the best - very helpful, passionate, personable, and knowledgeable employees. We were a bit uncertain on how a destination wedding would turn out, but the Carolina Girl did an outstanding job. The communication between the follow up phone calls, emails, and meeting Camille and Captain Bob on board the Carolina Girl made us confident that the Carolina Girl was the perfect venue for our wedding. We are so amazed with the way everything turned out and we wouldn't change a thing. The Carolina Girl is the perfect location for any event! We will definitely recommend the Carolina Girl to everyone in the Charleston area. The only changes I would recommend would be to talk more with the DJ regarding the lighting. The blue lights on the top deck were blinking to the beat of the music the entire time and in the video of our wedding it looks bad and gets really annoying, it was also like that during our ceremony (looking at the video I really wish the lights would have stayed solid or been turned off). Then only other thing is they serve cans of beer - I would have liked the beer to be poured into cups for a more classy look. It was an expensive venue but all our guests really enjoyed sightseeing around the harbor and we loved being unique and having a memorable venue.
