| Weddings at Palmetto Hall Country Club A Classic Hilton Head Setting for a Celebration That’s Entirely Yours Palmetto Hall offers a wedding setting defined by natural light, open views, and the quiet character of Hilton Head Island.

Ceremonies take place on the lawn beneath mature trees, with the clubhouse façade and open sky behind you. Cocktail hour moves to the covered patio.

With capacity for up to 140 guests, Palmetto Hall is designed for celebrations that remain intimate while still accommodating extended family and friends. The scale allows the room to stay energetic and connected throughout the evening.

Your Guests Will Thank You For Choosing Hilton Head IslandHilton Head Island is one of the Southeast's most celebrated destinations, and for good reason. Twelve miles of beaches, world-class golf, tennis, kayaking, and cycling trails give guests plenty to do before and after the celebration. Shopping and dining in Coligny Plaza and Sea Pines keep everyone occupied, and the island's resort hotels and vacation rentals offer accommodation options at every scale. Direct flights connect Hilton Head to major cities, making it an easy trip for out-of-town guests. Port Royal Plantation sits on the island's quieter northwestern tip, tucked among moss-draped oaks and Lowcountry marsh. The island gives guests a reason to arrive early and a reason to stay late.
