Located in North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, this wedding venue offers a 6,000-square-foot indoor hotel-style facility for traditional or upscale receptions. There are two custom bars, a bridal suite, an on-site kitchen, and ADA-accessible restrooms. It is best for large indoor events, as 300 guests can be accommodated in one room.
The outdoor event area of the property is less than 4,000 square feet, with limited options for uncovered and covered ceremony and cocktail hour spaces. While 21 Main offers excellent food and beverage service through its on-site restaurant, its setting near the beach—surrounded by commercial and residential development—tends toward urban with a steady flow of public traffic. Take advantage of the beach and nearby hotel accommodations, but be prepared to share your special occasion with local tourists.
