Awarded Best of Zola
Our wedding was 2/1/25 and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. Grace River Island was the perfect backdrop for our wedding celebration. From the moment we first contacted them, the team was attentive, helpful, and responsive in every way. Skye, the venue coordinator, made sure all the details were taken care of so we could truly enjoy our special day. The venue itself is beautifully maintained, with a stunning natural setting that was ideal for our ceremony. Our family stayed on the island for 4 days and found the resort had all the amenities we needed, including a gorgeous bridal suite. The sunsets over the water were truly breathtaking. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect place to say "I do." We highly recommend Grace River Island to any couple looking for a picturesque and stress-free wedding experience.

We were so lucky with weather and the sunset, the night was absolutely amazing! Our wedding date was November 12. We had the ceremony on the beach and then the reception was under the pavilion. We decorated mainly with string lights and the vibe was everything I wanted for an island beach wedding. Molly helped us plan and Jess was our day of coordinator, both did an excellent job. Nothing major went wrong and Jess helped keep everything on track. The only real downside was the guests have to use the bathrooms that are inside the restaurant.
