Hilton Head Island, S.C. (21, 2024) – Following the completion of an extensive renovation and upleveling to the property’s outdoor and event spaces, Beach House Hilton Head Island, the oceanfront resort known for toes-in-the-sand fun and events, has announced the appointment of Renee Laurie as Director of Sales and Marketing. Renee will play a key role in welcoming new weddings, meetings and group business clients to the Tiki Hut – the island’s only on the beach bar and live music venue, as well as the property’s fully redesigned resort pool and all-new outdoor events pavilion, The Dunes.
“With an incredibly strong background in group marketing, Renee will be a great asset to our team,” says Beach House Hilton Head Island General Manager, Jay Wiendl. “We’re confident that her fresh perspective and passion for the role will further elevate our sales goals.”
Part of a $13M property renovation at the EOS owned property, Renee will be largely focused on bringing group business to the property’s newest venue, The Dunes. This elegant, 1800 square foot outdoor pavilion located directly on Coligny Beach was designed with the Lowcountry in mind. With the space, flexibility and adaptability to serve any kind of event, The Dunes is ideal for those looking for a true oceanfront wedding ceremony and reception, large groups seeking a dynamic event space with ocean views, and on-property concerts. At The Dunes, groups will be treated to picture-perfect sunsets and expansive oceanfront views every day.
With a proven track record of positively motivating and leading teams to exceed revenue goals, Renee’s strong background in hotel operations, conference services and event planning make her a standout leader capable of elevating group and guest offerings. Her experience includes leadership tenures throughout South Carolina and beyond, most recently heading up sales at the Westin Resort and Spa Hilton Head Island. Prior to that, she was the Group Sales & Event Manager at Savannah Lodging, Membership & Events Manager at the Westin Resort Savannah Harbor and the Director of Events at the Cheyenne Mountain Resort & Country Club in Colorado.
“I’ve been a big fan of Beach House Hilton Head Island for a long time so I’m incredibly honored and excited to be joining the team,” said Beach House Hilton Head Island Director of Sales & Marketing, Renee Laurie. “With the property’s exciting transformation following its renovation, I look forward to playing a key role in shaping Beach House’s next chapter.”
In her spare time, Renee enjoys spending time with her husband, Scott and their dog, listening to live music, boating on Hilton Head Island and cheering on her beloved Tennessee Volunteers.
