Client Reviews
“We had our sons rehearsal dinner at the Swain Boating Center in June 2022. We could not have had a more perfect event! Allison and Maria were amazing from start to finish! They communicated very well with us during the entire process and gave helpful advice as well! From the caterer to the bar set up and allowing us to decorate and be creative with the space, everything went exactly as planned and I didn’t have to worry about a thing! We have told all our Citadel family and friends and will continue to sing their praises! Thank you so much Allison, Maria, and the catering staff for a wonderful experience!”

“So happy with the whole experience of The Citadel Beach Club!!! Not only was the venue stunning and everything I dreamed of for a beach wedding, but Michael was so kind and helpful throughout the process. He always answered our questions and let us stop by the venue when needed so we could plan everything. He helped recommend vendors and went above and beyond what a wedding venue normally does. The staff did a great job setting up the indoor tables and chairs for us on the day of, and everything was just perfect. I can’t say enough great things. Thank you to Michael and The Citadel Beach Club for making our wedding day the best ever!!!”
