Awarded Best of Zola
Had one of the greatest times of our lives staying at the Grace River Island Resort for our November Wedding! We booked for November 22nd - 25th and from the moment we arrive we were in awe of how breath taking the location was, just like the first time we saw it a year prior. Mike, Karen, and Skye were very attentive to our questions and needs, and everything was ready for us upon our arrival. All the amenities they provided were clean and fresh, ready for us to use, shout out to the cleaning crew! There was plenty of room for our wedding party of 20, and we spent four amazing days making wonderful memories with our family and friends. The sunsets here were truly magical, as we would often gather at the dock to take in the view and spend most of the nights cozy around the firepit. On the day of the wedding, their team helped set up tables, worked alongside the vendors, and were extremely professional throughout the day. I'll be forever grateful that Skye came out with a tray of food for me and my husband, thanks to her we could actually taste all of our catering menu while we were in the process of taking photos and videos! The hospitality that was shown to us by the Grace River Island team was impeccable and they truly made our stay there one we shall never forget. Thank you so much Grace River Island!!! - With Love Gabriella & Gelson

We had our wedding at The Tree House as a destination wedding. Communication was a little rocky throughout the planning process; I had to reach out for everything, as not very much was readily explained. I spent a lot of time planning and making my own things. Because of this, I was nervous about how the wedding would turn out. However, it was absolutely beautiful and it all came together due to their help and setup. They had wonderful vendors- the photographer, baker, food, DJ, and servers were all amazing. The day was perfect and I wouldn’t change anything.
