The Grand Strand's beautiful oceanfront attracts couples seeking a romantic beach wedding. While most wedding chapels are not permitted to conduct weddings on the beaches within Myrtle Beach city limits, we have made special arrangements to conduct seaside weddings in a special location. Our two wedding chapels both feature antique hardwood pews, stunning stained glass windows, beautiful floral arrangements and the warm glow of candlelight. The Ivory Chapel seats up to seventy friends and family members and the Blue Chapel seats up to eighteen.
Services
For over a decade, brides and grooms from Myrtle Beach and the surrounding area and from across the nation have allowed Wedding Chapel by the Sea to share in the joy of their Myrtle Beach wedding. Our staff of professional wedding planners is experienced in arranging all of the details to ensure a meaningful and memorable wedding by the sea that is tailored to each couple's personalities, preferences, and budgets.
Wedding Chapel by the Sea was originally home to an active Myrtle Beach church congregation for more than thirty years. When that congregation outgrew the quaint facility, the church was reinvented as the Wedding Chapel by the Sea. Unlike most wedding chapels in Myrtle Beach, we offer lovely indoor and outdoor wedding venues.
If you are searching for alternatives to a less than romantic courthouse wedding or a stress-inducing formal church wedding, Wedding Chapel by the Sea offers the perfect solutions. Our two beautiful wedding chapels and fountain-side gazebo are nestled among moss-draped oaks and accommodate ceremonies during all seasons.
Wedding Chapel by the Sea offers a reception space which comfortably accommodates small gatherings of friends and family members. The reception area is conveniently located adjacent to the Ivory and Blue wedding chapels. From hors d'oeuvres and vegetable or cheese trays to full-course meals, the Wedding Chapel staff bring years of experience and attention to detail to the planning of every Myrtle Beach wedding reception.

If I could give 0 stars, I would! Let's just start by saying the manager there is rude and very much unreasonable. I was so embarrassed when my guests received the cake that was provided as it was hard on the outside but the main reason, amongst many, for my bad review is the awful photos that I received for keepsake memories. They don't allow you to take your own photos or choose any of the photos that they take as per their policy, they pick the "best" photos for you. Well, the photos they chose were AWFUL and when I called to complain the manager was not helpful at all.
One photo in particular, they photo shopped our faces to look like monkeys. I assume because we're black and I expressed my dissatisfaction with that photo in particular. Don't choose this place, especially if you're people of color!

What a great little place to have a wedding. My husband and I got married there on May 7th the staff was very friendly and very helpful through the whole experience with us being out of state residents. Dressing rooms were nice and clean along with the chapel. The photographer was awesome as well super friendly. The whole experience was amazing. Thank you chapels by the sea for making the entire experience/ day amazing.

I was so happy with our wedding. Pastor Pam was so sweet and made us feel so welcomed. We had our ceremony in the chapel as it was raining but it still turned out perfect. The photographer (I can't remember her name) was outstanding and I can't wait to see our pictures. I would do this over again if I could! (with the same man of course lol) Thank you for giving me a memory to remember for a lifetime. Sincerely, Mr & Mrs Moore :)

The wedding chapel took care of everything for us. All we had to do is decide on a date, time and apply for marriage license. It was so simple to make the arrangements and that's exactly what we wanted. The day turned out to be beautiful and we were able to have the ceremony outside. Everything went as planned and there were no nervous jitters. We went to the beach to take pictures, which turned out great! Darlene, Pam, and Karen made everything perfect. I would recommend Wedding Chapel by the Sea to anyone who wants to avoid all of the stress that planning a wedding can bring! They get a 5/5 from us.

Our wedding was amazing! Darlene was a great help from the day we booked to the day we said I DO! She walked us through the entire service, answering all our questions and helping to calm our nerves! Pastor Pam made sure we didn't miss any of our vows and added a little comedy to help keep us from getting nervous! Our photographer caught all of our moments and even had our entire group do a silly photo. Thank you to the Wedding Chapel by the Sea for making our special day a hit!

Our experience using Wedding Chapel by the Sea was absolutely wonderful. The staff is very informative all the way around in case one is not familiar with marriage requirements in the State of South Carolina. Our prearranged wedding came close to being cancelled because of freezing weather conditions, but the staff were troopers and made our day most special. I would recommend this to anyone planning marriage big or small.

I cannot recommend this place strongly enough! Darlene, Pastor Pam, and their team were phenomenal in making our wedding day vision a reality! Everything was absolutely perfect! They helped us create the magical moments every bride dreams of! We had ample opportunity to add our own flare to the ceremony! Worth every penny! Our photographer was fantastic and the photos came out beautiful!
I can't wait to get them printed up to savor the day for the rest of our lives! We were married on a sunny and warm February day in the garden gazebo and I will never forget how incredible they were! Stress free from the get go! Highly HIGHLY recommend these ladies to help you make the precious memories this day deserves! I'd give them 100 stars if I could!

The location is quaint and comfortable. There were a few issues with our wedding video and Ms. Darlene did an awesome job making accommodations for the mistake. Unfortunately, I was unable to choose my photos for the photo album AND "Thank You" cards. The photo on the cards was sub-par and I have been calling since July 2021. UPDATE: 12/13/2021 I am waiting for my updated Thank You" cards. UPDATE: HAPPY NEW YEAR! I have recieved my "Thank You" cards which turned out to be announcement cards. oh well. . I have the photo I had requested and I am satisfied. THANK YOU!

We did the Happily Ever After Package for our vow renewal. I love that they took care of everything and for the money it's a great value. The pictures and video turned out wonderful. We are still waiting on our photo book and announcements. I love that they allowed us to write our own vows and include a family sand ceremony and they were very accommodating with our five young children.
I highly recommend them. We looked into other venues and trying to arrange everything included in the package was overwhelming and expensive. The building is a little dated and could use some maintenance, but other than that everything was wonderful. Photo book came and there was a mix up we received another couples book. Got that sorted out and then we get our book. Pictures were a little blurry and my husbands first name is spelled wrong. Thankfully we paid the extra $100 for rights to the pictures and I can make my own book, but they just use mixbook and we waited 8 weeks for a book that the quality wasn't great.
So I am a little disappointed but other than that the ceremony and reception were beautiful and the digital photos are good just the book quality isn't great so it's not a huge deal.

Mediocre customer service especially for a celebratory event such as a wedding. Guest were literally bullied into not taking pictures: officiating person stopped in the middle of vows to admonish a guest who was obviously overjoyed and wanted a sneak pic The reason given was that they wanted no interruptions during the ceremony. However, even afterwards NO PICTURE TAKING WAS ALLOWED INSIDE until we were told we could go outside, and then take pics.
No picture was taken of guests in chapel, even though it was requested by guest. One (1) group pic taken outside. The quality of pics taken by the chapel was at the very best, amateur. ALL pics had the chapel name branded across the middle of it. CHAPEL IS NOT BY THE SEA. Ceiling above area where couple did vows had water mark stains, and mold around air vents. I do not recommend. NOTE: If i could give zero stars i would. Wedding party totalled 14 including bride and groom.
