Bonnet Island Estate made our dream wedding come true! From the pre planning process with Mary to the day of the wedding at Bonnet Island was absolute perfection. Mary made the planning so easy and stress free. The entire staff paid attention to detail and went above and beyond to ensure we were happy. The bridal attendants were so attentive, helpful and friendly! The staff, service, food and beautiful estate were all so amazing that we received so many compliments from our guests. We can’t thank them enough for how great they were. We highly recommend Bonnet Island Estate!

The wedding was absolutely perfect in every single way. That is no exaggeration. Working with Andrea for the months leading up to our big day was an amazing experience- she’s prompt, honest, experienced, and made me feel like she cared so much about our wedding in a way that was bigger than just being her job. The day of crew of Andrea, Lauren, Nancy, Brooke, and Kaylin made all the difference- every detail was taken care of not just for the Groom and I, but our entire wedding party! They bring professionalism to another level and truly are in the business of making dreams come true! The food, the grounds, the staff were all IMPECCABLE!

Where to begin!? Bonnet Island was the very first venue we seriously toured, and while we did our due diligence by looking elsewhere, we knew it was the place instantly. From the setting to the design details to the stellar staff, everything was perfect.

Andrea and her team at Weddings of Distinction took such good care of us. When we had to postpone by a full year due to COVID, they were incredibly flexible and let us transfer to a new date we felt more comfortable with. They were helpful with vendor recommendations but were also happy to work with new faces.

Though we brought in our own independent weekend coordinator to help us out, Andrea still inspired confidence that she could have handled the whole weekend herself with her eyes closed — you'd be in great hands with just the Weddings of Distinction team. The whole team, from the bridal attendants (yay Jordan and Kayla!) to the maître d' to the overnight manager, was so great. If there were any logistical hiccups day of, we were blissfully unaware.

Everyone hopes for perfect weather on their wedding day, but I think where Bonnet shone brightest might have been how it faired even on a sub-optimal day with a weather contingency. We had high winds, cloudy skies, and a sprinkle of rain for our October wedding day, but guests could enjoy the open-air, yet covered Boathouse Chapel ceremony and Veranda cocktail hour while still taking in the gorgeous waterfront views.

We ended up with about 165 guests and an 11-piece band, all of which fit very comfortably in the ballroom. I understand the occupancy can go higher, but this was perfect for us — we filled the space but didn't feel overly crowded.

We loved the overnight accommodations (all 12 on-site guest suites are OUT OF THIS WORLD and such a value add) and the fact that we had the full run of the property for an on-site after party. After many hours of dancing in the ballroom, we set up late-night karaoke in the main floor of the house, which went until the wee hours of the morning. The Bonnet/Weddings of Distinction team really helped our unique vision come to life and encouraged us to be creative with the space!

Our guests keep saying it was the most beautiful setting for a wedding, and they're 100% right. For that, we can't thank the team at Bonnet enough!
