As the wife of a CEO living just outside of Washington, DC, I have been called upon for years to host and plan entertainment for guests from around the world. We returned to the Crystal Coast for a third time in August and I was challenged with once again planning a weekend of events for 21 people from 12 countries including Asia, Europe, East Europe and the Middle East. Since the group was young, I wanted to include a beach party with games, dinner and entertainment. My largest challenge was finding a venue and someone that could understand my vison for this event. I did flounder and was feeling very discouraged until the Islander was recommended. As I explained my ideas to Jessica Guesno, the Venue Coordinator, she quickly grasped my vision and never once said that she could not accomodate any request that I made! She suggested setting up a tent with lighting for a buffet dinner, recommended a terrific caterer and floral designer, offered to set up the rental of beach umbrellas, purchased volley balls and bocce ball sets. My mind was totally at ease as Jessica quickly took charge of co-ordinating the smallest of details. When we arrived at 4 on the day of the event, my breath was taken away by the lovely setting, the white tent with lights and tables for dining, a totally stocked bar and tables with appetizers, the beautifully manicued grounds and all the games out to begin what had now become the first ever TA Olympics. Kelly, who also works with the event planning immediately took charge. She became my savior in terms of describing the games, organizing teams and scoring so that at the end we could give out Olympic medals. The terrific bar tenders worked their magic with a number of specialty cocktails that were a huge hit! No detail was left unattended by the staff. This event was the highlight of the weekend. I received numerous compliments when in fact all of the compliments go to Jessica and her staff. Thanks to all, we will return.

I have been high level employee for a Fortune 200 company, in the pharmaceutical industry for 20 plus years. In that position, I attended many corporate sales meetings, executive conferences, and new product launch meetings all around the USA. In addition, I had our corporate meeting planning group reporting to me for a period of time where I was exposed to many vendors in this space across the US.
I most recently hosted a Rehearsal dinner for my son’s wedding in Emerald Isle at the Islander Hotel and Resort.
The service, the professionalism, the overall experience was second to none. I have never been so satisfied with the whole process, from walking into the faciality for the initial discussion, to paying the billing at the conclusion of a wonderful event.
Carol Mortensen who was the event manager, from the beginning to end was outstanding. Her guidance was focused, detailed and overall exceptional. Carol recommended an outside caterer “Class Act Catering”, which was just as awesome. The food was exceptional, as well as the bartenders who served the rehearsal dinner for 75 people were just wonderful. My wife and I received so many compliments about the food, the bar, the service and the facilities.
I would highly recommend this venue to anyone. If this review seems a little over the top! Well it is, and so was the service!
Respectfully,
