The Grace River Island team was an absolute pleasure to work with from start to finish. They were punctual, attentive, and truly cared about making our wedding day special. The venue itself is absolutely stunning, with breathtaking sunsets and a private, intimate feel that was perfect for our medium-sized wedding. We booked the venue for a long weekend, which allowed us to spend quality time with our guests beyond just the wedding day. The large eating areas, pool, and picturesque scenery made Grace River Island the ideal location for our wedding celebration. I cannot recommend this venue enough - it exceeded our expectations in every way.

I truly can not say enough about the team at Hilton Marco Island. As a planner, the relationship with the staff at the venue we are working with is paramount to the success of the event. It is not always that the venue has the clients best interest at heart but at Hilton Marco Island, they truly do. This team goes above and beyond accommodating my clients needs again and again. They are friendly, kind and service our clients with great respect and attentiveness. The grounds are a perfect blank slate for modest or lavish events. The size of the hotel is perfect to create that boutique experience while not being on top of your guests. I always recommend considering Hilton for our high end guests that may not have them on the list assuming they are not equip to accommodate a high end event but I can tell you from experience, they are.
