“Before I begin, let me start by saying this was one of the easiest 5 star reviews I have ever made. I would give it 10 stars if I could! My wife and I had our wedding at Grace River Island on June 3rd, 2023. The tour of the venue had barely started before we decided this HAD to be our wedding venue. The property is beyond beautiful! We had toured a ton of venues, but once we saw Grace River Island we knew we had to have our wedding there. Not only is it a beautiful place, the property has 20 beds so our family could stay there with us during the weekend- that really sealed the deal. The ceremony spot right on the water, surrounded by the river on three sides, provides the perfect backdrop for incredible pictures. The property also provides three separate locations for the reception. We wanted to have the reception on their waterside deck, but the forecast was calling for rain. I can’t lie- we were very worried about this. We called Mike and Karen, the venue’s owners, and they provided us another plan. We secured a tent and had the reception in their clubhouse and courtyard. This ended up working out perfectly as we had access to A/C in the clubhouse and also had outdoor access under the tent in the courtyard. Everything was perfect! Rain is always a potential problem for summer weddings in Florida, but at Grace River Island you don’t need to worry about it because Mike and Karen have made sure that your wedding will be able to go on regardless of the weather. Speaking of Mike and Karen, the owners of the property, they are some of the nicest and most helpful people you could ever meet. From day one they were there to assist us in the planning process and immediately answer any questions we had. We are so grateful for them. All in all, our wedding at Grace River Island was amazing and we would recommend the venue without hesitation!”
