DMC Experts in Charleston


Let’s create your ultimate group experience

The southern mystique of Spanish moss-covered Charleston beckons to food-loving groups, where Gullah culture dishes up creamy she-crab soup and gravy-soaked shrimp-and-grits. Palm trees and haunting cypress swamps, wide-open beaches and undulating mountains—South Carolina seems like a southern paradox. The glowing lights of the Ferris wheel draw attendees to Myrtle Beach, a sun-soaked resort where the water parks are as refreshing as the daiquiri bars. Hilton Head Island calls to night owls with crooning jazz music and flowing martinis.
