GROVE was an absolute delight to work with for our wedding. From our very first interaction, the staff were thorough, kind, and incredibly helpful in guiding us through the planning process. Their communication was top-notch, and they made our planning so easy. The venue itself was beautiful, affordable, and inclusive - we only had to hire a couple of outside vendors since GROVE provides so many wonderful amenities. Our guests cannot stop raving about the delicious food and cake that was provided. The staff were also very professional and made our special day run seamlessly. We are so grateful to GROVE for helping to make our wedding day truly perfect.

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

This venue was absolutely amazing. I couldn’t have been more happy. From planning, their attention to detail, everyone is on the same page. My wedding coordinator Cheyenne checked in with me constantly. On my wedding day she made sure I didn’t even go 5 minutes without making sure I was ok or if I needed something. Their ENTIRE staff is amazing though. Everything was beautiful and I couldn’t have asked for a better place to get married.
