Atalaya Castle is on my list as one of the best wedding venues in Myrtle Beach & the Grand Strand. Located in Murrells Inlet, this Moorish-style castle is the perfect setting for a garden wedding, while still embracing the gorgeous sandy beaches of the South Carolina coast.

Colorful ceremony decor for a summer wedding at Atalaya Castle in Murrells Inlet, SC.

Key venue features:

  • Have your ceremony on the beach or in the courtyard at Atalaya. You can also use a covered area inside the castle for your ceremony in the event of rain.
  • Looking for a place to do your bridal or engagement session? We can do it right at the state park! No reservations required. 
  • There are so many gorgeous spots for photos! The walls of the castle make for gorgeous backgrounds and the greenery is so lush.
  • The beach at Huntington is my favorite because the sunsets are incredible and it is such a wide-open stretch of beach when the tide is out.

Helpful tips & info:

  • Get a tent for your reception just in case! The courtyard is uncovered, so if it rains there isn’t anywhere else to go.
  • There is no bridal suite so you’ll need to make separate plans for where you and your wedding party will be getting ready.
  • The castle is open to the public until 5:00pm.
