DAUFUSKIE ISLAND

We are so excited to have you all come to Haig Point on Daufuskie Island - a beautiful, secluded piece of paradise! Haig Point is a gated community on Daufuskie Island where all wedding events will take place. Haig Point is only accessible via a 20 minute private ferry from the Haig Point Embarkation Center (10 Haig Point Ct, Hilton Head Island, SC 29928). With the charm of a bridgeless island comes some logistics - the typical commute includes a flight to Savannah (SAV) or Hilton Head (HHH), an Uber or Lyft to the ferry Embarkation Center, and then a short ferry ride to the island. Or if you have the opportunity to drive to Hilton Head Island, you can park your car at the Embarkation Center. We will all be using golf carts to get around Daufuskie Island! The island is only 9.6 square miles, so it's very easy to travel the island by golf cart. While we encourage all guests to stay directly at Haig Point (see Accommodations tab), all wedding guests will have free access to the ferry even if you choose to stay on Hilton Head Island.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out!

DEPARTURE LOGISTICS

Valet luggage pick up is required for departure.


Haig Point valet attendants can happily assist in providing a luggage pick up service at the desired ferry time you’ll be leaving on. THE DAY BEFORE DEPARTING, guests should call the front desk at 843-686-2000 to give the Valet team a far in advance notice of the pickup requests.


At the time guests call the front desk to schedule the luggage pick up, you should be prepared to provide the following information: how many bags/pieces of luggage need to be picked up, the address of the home rental you’re staying at, the ferry time you would like to depart on, as well as notify them the number of guests that wish to be picked up at the same time they pick up the luggage(s) as well (if needed). Once the front desk receives this information, they would reserve the pick up and inform the valet team of their reservation to complete the pick up at the desired ferry departure time.
