Our Dream Wedding Day at Channel Side

Where do I even begin! Our wedding was the best day of our lives and more perfect than we could have ever imagined, thanks to Channel Side! Jessica was the best coordinator we could have ever asked for! She went absolutely above and beyond for us! It rained on our wedding day and she made the transition from outdoor to indoor ceremony seamless with as little stress to me (the bride) as possible! She managed all vendors, set up the bridal suite perfectly for my arrival, ran the timeline of the night so smoothly, and quickly cleaned up and backed up all of our decor at the end of the night! The venue is gorgeous, pictures outside were amazing, and the bar staff was so friendly and fast with drink orders! I would have our wedding day here over and over again and recommend it to all future brides looking for an all inclusive, gorgeous boutique wedding venue! The channel side staff will make wedding planning a breeze for you!

Perfection!

Jessica and Abby helped me plan the perfect wedding in record time (5 weeks). My wedding day was so relaxing and enjoyable because they took care of EVERYTHING. It's a gorgeous property and ballroom right by the water. Big enough to accomodate our 130 guests with no problem. My guests are still telling me how much they loved Channel Side and how beautiful everything was.

Amazing Venue

Channel Side and the staff are amazing. The venue is beautiful. Jessica was our Coordinator and she was very helpful. She took care of everything. I did not know what to expect that day. When I walked into the venue, I was in awe. I made a sketch of our idea and Jessica made it happen. Jessica was very responsive and answered all of our questions. Thank you, Channel Side staff!

The best wedding venue!!!

Channel Side was an amazing wedding venue! They were always ready to help, take stress off of our plates, and answer any questions we had. Gianna was our wedding day coordinator and she was fantastic. Nothing phased her and she is the sweetest and most helpful!! Our wedding was the best day and party we’ve ever had and that is in large part due to Channel Side. Highly highly recommend!!

Beautiful and professional

Channel Side was a beautiful venue for our wedding! The outdoor area surrounded by both water and trees was perfect for our ceremony. Shane was very professional and accommodating when we had to postpone our April 2020 wedding to January 2021. Our day of coordinator Jessica really helped bring all the small details together to make the indoor reception area personalized and gorgeous for our smaller sized guest list. Would highly recommend Channel Side for any event.

Best Day Ever

Our wedding was Jan 1st 2021. It wasn't difficult to choose this venue as it is very well known and is highly recommended in the community. I met with our wedding coordinator, Jessica twice before our wedding and also communicated via email any questions or concerns that I had. I never felt like a bother and all of my questions and concerns were immediately put to ease. Channel Side recommended the DJ, caterer, and officiant and I am truly grateful that I went with their recommendations. Our wedding day was beyond perfect. It was extremely well organized, planned and executed. Jessica took our dreams and made them into a reality. She decorated our whole ceremony and reception and it was beyond what we could have ever imagined! The vendors they referred were absolutely amazing and they all worked together very well! The prices were also very reasonable. We had nothing but amazing, positive compliments throughout the night on both the venue and the rest of the team. If I had to do it all over again, there is nothing that I would change- aside from it having to end! Thank you Channel Side & Jessica!

Dream Wedding

My daughter just got married last weekend at Channelside and we could not be happier with the way everything worked. Jessica, the Channelside coordinator, made sure everything was taken care of and had the timeline of events down to the minute. Everything was beautiful and we had so much fun. My daughter said her wedding was everything she had dreamed of and more!
