It's all in the details

To help ensure everything runs smoothly, we require that you work with a professional, licensed, and insured Wedding Planner or Coordinator.

This person should operate under an LLC, be someone outside of your guest list (so friends and family can simply enjoy the day!), and be approved by Wild Dunes Resort, if they’re not already on our recommended vendor list.

What your Wild Dunes wedding specialist will handle

We’re here to make your wedding day seamless and stress-free! Your dedicated Wild Dunes resort wedding specialist will:

✅ Be your main contact for all things Wild Dunes—from your guest room block to day-of coordination with our onsite teams.
✅ Provide recommended vendor lists for florals, music, photography, officiants, and more.
✅ Help customize your menu and beverage selections to suit your vision, tastes, and budget.
✅ Create a detailed wedding “resume” to guide our team in executing your big day flawlessly.
✅ Provide floor plans, seating arrangements, and estimated charges to help keep things organized.
✅ Oversee room setup, food & beverage service, and ensure a smooth handoff to our onsite event team on the wedding day.
✅ Review final charges and billing with you, post-event.

What your personal wedding planner will take care of

To ensure every personal touch is perfect, your hired personal wedding planner will:

✅ Guide you through etiquette, timelines, and family dynamics.
✅ Manage your ceremony rehearsal, wedding day schedule, and vendor communications.
✅ Handle setup of personal items like programs, escort cards, and décor.
✅ Assist with wedding party prep and ensure everyone is photo ready.
✅ Oversee the flow of the day—from walking down the aisle to the last dance.
✅ Collect your gifts and keepsakes at the end of the night.
✅ Offer full-service planning from engagement to honeymoon (if selected).

Wild Dunes offers a lovely selection of napkin colors—navy, white, black, and khaki—to complement your wedding style. We also provide floor-length white linens with our standard tables and chairs to create a polished event setup.

If you’re envisioning a more personalized look, you’re absolutely welcome to rent specialty linens or décor items through your planner or an outside vendor. We’re here to help bring your unique vision to life!

To ensure all guests and neighbors enjoy a peaceful experience, we kindly ask that you review our Outdoor Noise Ordinance document for full details.

The ordinance prohibits any noise that disturbs the quiet or comfort of nearby residences at any time, and quiet hours are strictly enforced from 10:00 p.m. to 10:00 a.m.

A few important notes to keep in mind when planning your entertainment:

✅ Live bands are welcome but may not exceed five performers on stage at one time. This applies to all outdoor venues, as well as events using the Indigo Ballroom & Rooftop combination.
✅ DJs are not permitted to perform on the Indigo Rooftop Terrace or Pergola, with the exception of DJs booked solely for ceremony music.
✅ All entertainment must be approved in advance by your Resort Sales or Event Planning Manager, and a signed approval form must be on file before your event date.

We're happy to help guide you through entertainment options that will keep your celebration joyful and compliant!
