    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!

    Perfect all around

    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.

    Beautiful venue! Highly recommend

    We had our wedding at The Island House in August and it was amazing. The location, the water and the views are spectacular. Not only is it a beautiful backdrop, the house is all yours for the day making it easy for the bridal party to get ready & hang out before the wedding. Lynn is so easy to work with and went above and beyond for all of our needs especially since we were one of the “Covid couples” who had to postpone. I highly recommend The Island House to have your dream wedding or party!

    A Dream on The Water

    We chose The Island House at first glance of their beautiful, secluded house on the water. The benefit of having a space to relax and get ready cannot be underestimated. Lynn was so easy and encouraging to work with while planning. I cannot express enough how truly pleased our entire wedding was with our dream wedding venue.

    This venue was everything!

    First of all, Lynn was nothing short of amazing to work with! She was helpful, flexible and always so genuine and pleasure to talk to. Her team was fabulous the day of our wedding to make sure everything ran seamlessly. This venue has everything from the house, to the water views and even those scenic southern Spanish moss trees. Having a tent on site was such a help for the reception and the time of year! Great space and would absolutely recommend.

    We couldn’t of chosen a more beautiful venue!

    The Island House was nothing short of amazing! From the second we met with Lynn we knew we were in great hands! She walked us through every detail and answered all of our questions! She answered every text from me quickly (even while on maternity leave). Having the entire house to get ready in on the day of our wedding was amazing! So spacious and I literally watched our wedding come to life through the windows upstairs! My guest are still talking about how beautiful our venue was!!! Would highly recommended!!!!

    Booking the Island House was the first, and one of the best, decisions we made for our wedding!

    We absolutely loved having our wedding at The Island House! We toured at least 15 venues when we were looking for our perfect place, and the Island House was the only one we left that my husband said "I could see us getting married there!" From the minute we signed the contract, we felt like we were in great hands. Lynn was so quick to respond to every question I had during booking, and made me feel so comfortable with our decision. We decided to get ready in the house the day of, and I couldn't recommend that more! Being able to see everything come together was a dream, and it made it so stress-free I kept calling myself Bridechilla! Our guests were amazed by the location, and we can't wait to get our pictures and video back. Thank you so much, Lynn and Island House staff for being part of our perfect day!

    The Island House was a dream. It is so convenient how the girls are able to get ready upstairs and the guys can get ready downstairs. You also have the use of the house so you have an accessible kitchen/bathroom/ living room for all your things. The scenery is breathtaking. It is the perfect place to have the ceremony and reception in the same place, making it easier for you and your guest. Thank you for sharing a place where so many wonderful memories were made.

    The Island House was an absolute dream. I could not have pictured a more perfect place to get married. Lynn was amazing and so was the other staff. Lynn was quick to answer emails and allowed us to go visit the site as many times as we wanted. We go ready there and saw them scrubbing the grounds to insure the ground was clean for the wedding. They were extremely accommodating. The Island House was perfect in every way.

    The Island House was an amazing venue and I am so thankful I was able to book for our wedding. Lynn is incredibly helpful throughout the whole process and quickly responds to any questions. She was easy to work with and even provided recommendations for other vendors when I asked. Everything went so smoothly the day of and all of the information and advice she provided. We did ceremony on the lawn, cocktail hour on the front patio and reception under the tent and everything was beautiful and flowed so well! I didnt have to spend as much on flowers because the venue is already beautiful! I highly recommend The Island House and am so glad we got married here!

    We decided to book the Island House sight unseen just based on the glowing reviews here! Lynn was outstanding and a great resource because she was married here too. She gave us a full tour of the venue and we immediately fell in love with the beautiful grounds and the quirky manor house! There were dolphins swimming in the river when we first visited, and then dolphins swam by right before the ceremony started - the guests loved it! Every photo that I've seen from the wedding day shows off the AMAZING view of the water, the marina, the pretty azalea bushes, or the wild flower fields. Booking the Island House was our first decision in the wedding planning process, but it was definitely one of our best decisions!

    I got married at the Island House in the beginning of April and it was the absolute perfect wedding venue! The venue itself is stunning, and Lynn was so helpful throughout the whole process! She was very responsive to all of our questions and even gave me some suggestions for other vendors, which was a huge help for me! The inside of the house was perfect for the whole wedding party to get ready in the day of while still keeping the girls and guys separated. And it was so much fun to be right there and be able to see the setup process and everything come together the day of.
    Our guests could not stop raving about the beautiful setting and how smoothly everything ran!
    Our entire experience was amazing, I could not have asked for anything better for our wedding!

    I cannot begin to express how AMAZING this venue and Lynn, the coordinator from the Island House, were for our wedding. The venue itself is a gem! It was such a beautiful background for our wedding and provided beautiful space for the ceremony and reception. I love the house where you can get ready on site and the tent set up on the water was great space for our reception. We also used the front of the house for cocktail hour. I also could not have pulled off our wedding the way we did without Lynn. Her coordination services went above and beyond what we would have expected! She was so sweet and easy to work with, very responsive throughout the process, and very calm and amazingly helpful on the day of our wedding. It was a bit windy on our wedding day, which changed up a couple of our plans and Lynn was so great in helping us with Plan B's as needed. I would hire her again in a heartbeat!! Thank you so much to Lynn and the Island House for making our special day so perfect!

    I just had my wedding at The Island House in December and it was perfect! My husband and I spend a lot of time on the water so we knew we wanted to get married at The Island House before we even took an official tour. The inside of the house is beautiful and I loved that the girls could get ready upstairs and the boys get ready downstairs. I also liked watching the set up and guests arriving from the upstairs! The grounds are well maintained and provide a beautiful, natural scenery for any wedding. We had a gorgeous sunset happening towards the end of our ceremony which made for some great pictures. I am so happy we were able to get married at The Island House! I wouldn't change a single thing!

    From the very beginning my parents and I fell in love with the venue. Lynn was so helpful, honest, and easy going so we loved to communicate with her about wedding questions and advice. The house is really fun and works well for big or small wedding parties. My husband and and I had a large wedding party and it was big enough to even have some of our family members use the house to get ready in and eat some food before the wedding. We had about 100 guests and could have easily added another 100 to the number, but preferred a smaller group. Our wedding date was Dec 4th so it was 50-60 degrees after the sun went down. We originally didn't want to have the sides of the tent down for the reception, but we had to for the weather. It ended up looking really pretty and we stayed very warm inside. Plus the lights from the DJ looked great with the sides down.
    Our wedding was the best day of our lives so far and I wouldn't change a thing about the venue!! Highly recommend!!

    My wife and I recently were scheduled to have a destination wedding at the Island House on September 2nd, 2016. We had both chosen this beautiful venue a year prior, and had visited the site twice. The view on the property was simply amazing. The Island House was very flexible and helpful with the needs of our caterer, DJ, bar service, and tent rental company. Unfortunately Hurricane Hermine decided to interrupt everything for us. We arrived two days prior to our wedding, and we met with Lynn, the event coordinator, who had been working with us from the beginning. Hurricane Hermine still was on course to hit the area of Charleston. Lynn and her team worked extremely hard to make sure that this special day would happen for us. We wanted to wait to see if the hurricane would change its course, but we really did not have much time. Lynn and her team went above and beyond to find us a backup venue. In a moment like that, you want to just break down, because everything isn't going as planned, but Lynn and her team made it all possible. We had to move our wedding to an indoor location and everything was wonderful. We understand that the Island House did not have to do what they did, but the fact that they did, it was truly a blessing. I would highly recommend anyone to get married at this location. The Event Coordinator, Lynn was very professional and simply such a great person. Her staff was amazing as well, and even the owner reached out to my wife and I, which truly meant a lot. Thank You Island House

    We so so enjoyed our experience with the Island House! As soon as I saw their website, I knew it was my dream venue and looking back, it definitely didn't disappoint! Our guests loved the sweet southern feel of the charming house as well as lovely view of the water. We did our ceremony in from of the house and our reception behind. Lynn and the staff there were very helpful and could not have made the day (and months before) go more smoothly. Our vendors loved working with the Island House staff and we were thankful for how flexible they were in helping our visions come to life. As I look back, I am so grateful we chose the Island House and would do it over and over again if I could!

    The Island House is such a beautiful venue and has waterfront views like no other in Charleston. It even comes with a tent and some rentals which helps with your rental costs. If possible get Lynn to be your week of coordinator. She is extremely organized, and will make sure your day goes off without a hitch. I can't say enough how crucial having her helping us was on our wedding day - she keeps everything moving and is on top of everything. The entire Island House team was great to work with and I would recommend this venue & team over and over. Thank you!!

    Every experience we had with the Island House was a great one. From our initial visit with the owner to view the property, to our coordination with Lynn, we had no complaints. The venue was perfect for us. We loved the water view, the cocktail area in the front and tent space. We were really impressed with what was included in our rental. Everything was clean and really well cared for, you can tell they really take pride in their facility. Even though they had an event the night before you would never have known when we got there... it was perfect.
