Sea Captain's House

Meet Carlin Russell, Our New Group Event & Catering Coordinator

Sea Captain’s House has always been a place where tradition, taste, and the tides come together and now, we’re excited to welcome a new wave of talent to our team. Meet Carlin Russell, a true local of the Grand Strand whose deep roots in the community and passion for hospitality make her the perfect fit as our new Group Event & Catering Coordinator. From hosting beachside guests to curating unforgettable event experiences, Carlin brings a blend of authenticity, creativity, and heart to every detail.

Q: Tell us a little about your background — what brought you into the world of events and hospitality?
A: I’m a true local to the Grand Strand. I grew up by the beach spending my time outside, dancing at my Mother’s studio, and singing “Twinkle-Twinkle” with my Father at his local music gigs. On Holidays, I cherished spending time with my extended families and eating home-cooked meals of traditional Greek foods. I started working as a hostess, and proudly began my adventure through food and beverage from North Myrtle Beach leading me all the way to St. Pete Beach, Florida, bartending and enjoying the taste of a different pace and beach community. When I wasn’t working or on the beach, I found myself attending live music performances and events of all sizes. Since moving back to Pawleys Island, I’ve been fortunate to deepen my roots through growing my craft locally. I hope to continue to show locals and tourists alike how special of an experience they can have off the Carolina coast.

Q: What made you want to join the team here at Sea Captain’s House?
A: My home town is very important to me, and even though I’m sure everyone would agree with that statement, I want to be a part of amplifying the “why”‘s . Sea Captain’s House exemplifies the quality standards and consistency I want to represent in my community.

Q:
 What excites you most about your new role as Group Event & Catering Coordinator?
A: The vibrant atmosphere, fearlessness of my teammates, and being able to breathe the salt air everyday.
The opportunity to bring the community together through sharing the culinary staple that Sea Captain’s House is for Myrtle Beach.

Q:
 How do you approach planning an event that’s both smooth and memorable for guests?
A: Making sure the client is heard and satisfied with their expectations while staying true to Sea Captain’s standards of operation! 
Bringing another level of coordination and presentation to share the treasure’s of Sea Captain’s House with more of the community. 

Q: What are your favorite menu items at Sea Captain’s House?
A: Every new item I try becomes my favorite! Keep an eye out for a hand-selected, paired and coursed, dinner event menu!

Q:
 If you had to recommend one dish for a catered event, what would it be and why?
A: I love providing a variety of our most popular classic dishes – there’s nothing like being able to see a satisfied smile when you continue to meet expectations of 60 years of service! But I also love to work with people and add their personal touches and make their ideas a reality. But I will say, a seasoned and roasted seasonal vegetable is a highly under-rated catering option complimenting any event menu!
