We had the most amazing experience at MBI! Charming views, attentive staff, delicious food - everything was perfect. All of our needs were met and we couldn't have asked for a better place to celebrate such a special occasion. Marisa and Gabe are a joy to work with. While I won’t miss wedding planning, I will certainly miss working with them :)

Our wedding in October 2024 at the Shelter Harbor Inn was absolutely perfect! The grounds and inn are so beautiful and eclectic, which is exactly what we were looking for. Teresa was incredibly helpful and easy to communicate with throughout the planning process, ensuring everything went smoothly. She and Erin were amazing on the day of, providing support and guidance that made us feel so at ease. We were able to be creative, which made the day feel uniquely ours. We had several wedding guests staying at the inn, and everyone loved it! The staff was exceptionally kind, especially to some guests who had taken the Amtrak and found themselves without Ubers. It was such a fun experience having our wedding where everyone was staying! The food was amazing, and everyone cleaned their plates! The layout was ideal for both our ceremony and reception, and the ambiance was exactly what we envisioned. We couldn’t have picked a better place to celebrate!

To say Emily and the team at GBC made our dreams come true is an understatement. From the moment we met, we were immediately impressed with her positive attitude, attention to detail, and organization. We fell in love with the venue initially, but now upon reflecting, it was the collective efforts of the staff of Galilee Beach Club that we will forever cherish and appreciate for the rest of our lives. Emily patiently listened and worked hard throughout the entire process, answering endless emails from me, while collaborating with Chris the general manager, Chef Rob, and the rest of her event staff to make all of our ideas come to life. Emily’s planning meetings along the way were focused, thorough, and super informative. She made time (even during her hectic season) for us, always. We trusted her completely with our vision and she knocked it out of the park. For me, I was in awe of her attention to the little things… the plate of hors douerves delivered to the bridal suite for us right after the ceremony, the signature drinks in our toasting flutes during dinner, the floating candles she suggested for the sweetheart table, right down to Emily locating our missing marriage license moments before the ceremony! She did it all with grace and ease. I could trust Emily and her team to set up all of the decor without an ounce of worry and on top of the beautiful set-up, Emily and her team packed up everything (and I mean everything!) into my car that night which truly was an unbelievable service. Chris, the General Manager, was our officiant and he was incredible. We had only met Chris a handful of times before we got married, but we felt as if he was one of our good friends. He knew exactly what we were looking for and we couldn’t have asked for a better ceremony. And the food! Everything was out of this world. Multiple guests claimed the short rib was the best they ever had. Chef Rob’s seared tuna steaks were prepared to perfection, even impressing a room full of tuna fisherman, which is certainly not an easy feat! The Galilee Beach Club was a warm, welcoming, highly professional, full service, simply spectacular place to get married. Our wedding surpassed our wildest dreams, which was undoubtedly the result of the hard work and long hours put in by Emily, Chris, Rob and the rest of the event staff at GBC. As two native Rhode Islanders and Galilee locals, we could not have had a more perfect setting for one of the most memorable days of our lives. We are forever grateful to have worked with such a remarkable team.

We had an intimate 26 person wedding at Ocean House and it was perfect. Kara was a dream to work with - organized, flexible, and helpful every step of the way. The day of started misting and she quickly worked with us on an alternate covered location that was equally as beautiful. The food, service, views, experience, and more was flawless. The Ocean House will always be a special place for us - and we will return for years to come.
