The Perfect Venue

The Island House is absolutely the place you want to have your event! The grounds of the estate are absolutely unmatched, especially the water views in the back of the property. The inside of the house is well is also equally as amazing and beautiful! Watching from the big windows in the bridal suite my wedding set-up evolve throughout the day was so cool. The makeup mirrors in the next room was the absolute best spot to have a girl-party getting ready with my girls doing our hair and makeup! And who could go wrong with a fishing/hunting themed groom suite downstairs?! And did I mention that there was an appearance of dolphins swimming in the river behind the property during our reception?! Our guests went absolutely bananas about that!

Working with the Island House throughout the entire process leading up to our wedding was also absolutely seamless from start to finish. We worked directly with Lynn, who was always extremely timely and responsive for all of our questions and concerns. You will be in the best hands possible, and your event will be undoubtedly amazing hosted here!

Island House was perfect. We have not stopped receiving compliments for using this venue for our wedding. They are very easy to work with, flexible, and professional. They know how to make sure your day goes perfectly and they have a venue that offers so much. From beautiful sunsets near the water to glorious trees to a uniquely decorated house, this place it phenomenal. Thank you to Julia, Lynn, and all the staff that was there on our wedding day that made it perfect. Book your event here - you will certainly not regret it.
