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.

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
My husband and I got married at BR a little over a month ago on August 22, 2025. We cannot say one bad thing about our wedding. We were so blessed to be able to have Cheyenne as our wedding planner. She was absolutely a dream. She called us every few months and made wedding planning from Tennessee so easy. We made a trip in December and combined aRead more about review stating Wonderful Teamll of our meetings into one. We were able to plan our whole wedding in one day. It was long but Cheyenne and the whole team at BR made it easier and took their time to help us figure everything out detail out. They are all so patient and amazing to work with. The day of our wedding was just a blast. The team at BR handled everything with ease. The whole day went smoothly. Plus the best thing about the venue is the all inclusive package they offer and how they contact all the vendors for you. I love the outdoor ceremony locations. Yes locations they have multiple ceremony options outside and an indoor reception space with lots of room for our 100 guests. The grooms cave upstairs was such a hit with all the groomsmen and they played with the pool table up to the very last second before the ceremony. During reception it did rain so we weren’t able to do our sparkler exit but the staff was able to let us use our cold sparklers and get one last photo with those. The day after we had to pick up some decor pieces and they were more than accommodating. It was just a blast and Cheyenne is the best wedding planner and we had an amazing time planning our big day with her. We both loved our wedding at Bakers Ranch.
