From the breathtaking views to the attentive staff, everything was absolutely perfect. The team went above and beyond to make sure every detail was just right — the setup, the service, the food, the florals, and the overall ambiance were flawless.

You cannot beat the venue space, delicious apps and dinner and friendly staff. Highly recommend Galilee beach club to anyone having a wedding or event. It was truly a dream.

GBC review

If you want a beach wedding and to work with the most incredible venue look no further. The second we walked into Galilee Beach Club we knew it place was “the one”. The venue is stunning inside and out. We got married on the beach overlooking the water. Cocktail hour was outside and they setup the cutest tiki bar. Emily, the Clubs coordinator was absolutely amazing. Some venues have coordinators where they just look out for the venue itself, Emily made sure my husband and I were taken care of every step of the way. She was incredibly communicative through out our wedding process and went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we wanted. AND I MEAN EVERYTHING, from the smallest details like what we want our signature drink to be to making sure there was plenty of food and drinks for us in the bridal suite. The food was so incredible, plentiful, and came out hot! The wait and bar staff was so attentive and professional. I said from the beginning, I wanted a one stop shop venue, I didn’t want to have to deal with the small details, I just wanted to walk in and have everything there for us. Galilee Beach Club exceed our expectations. They did LITERALLY EVERYTHING from bathroom baskets to seating charts to event clean up and coordinating with our other vendors. I literally have nothing but positive feedback. Book your wedding here, you won’t regret it. MANY thanks to the entire staff and Emily at the beach club. It was the best day ever.

We had my daughter's bridal shower at the Galilee Beach Club on 4/6/24 and it was perfect! Emily was a wonderful event coordinator and took care of every last detail! She made the whole process go so smoothly. Her ideas and suggestions made the shower so elegant and lots of fun ! The venue location on the water was beautiful and all of the guests raved about the food. I would not hesitate to use the Club again for another event and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a beautiful location for their event!

What a beautiful beautiful venue. We had our wedding on a gorgeous fall day and it was absolutely everything we wanted. Emily was wonderful and super accommodating to exactly what our vision was. I loved that we were able to customize the day to suit our needs and desires. We had fire pits at night with lit tiki torches lining the beach and the tiki bar was a huge hit. We were able to have our band play outside so our dance floor was right in the sand overlooking the ocean waves. The vibe at Galilee beach club is so laid back which is one of the reasons why we chose it to be our venue, but they know how to get things done and handled and are very professional. The food was excellent and all hand made in house. Make sure to get the beef Wellington, UNREAL! As a professional wedding photographer, let me tell you that the light is perfect for photos on the beach and you will get the most beautiful sunset over the water! A++ I can’t believe more people don’t know about this place. 100 % the best choice for us in the wedding planning process! Thank you Galilee Beach Club for making our day the best day ever!!

Emily was absolutely amazing with all things wedding!! She thought of things we had not even considered, and made the process so easy from start to finish. We did not need to worry about a thing- she took care of it all and was so responsive throughout the planning process. During our wedding day the staff at Galilee beach club was so attentive to our needs and always checking on us. And our guests raved about the food!

Galilee Beach Club was an absolute dream wedding venue. And the HUGEST shout out to Emily Hodges who made our big day possible. When my husband and I first started looking for a wedding venue, we had a very specific vision in mind. We wanted a beachfront wedding with a vintage coastal vibe and (I cannot stress this enough) the entire thing in the sand. Every venue I looked at was more than willing to do a beachfront ceremony but reception had to take place indoors. And then we found Galilee. From the first call with Emily, she was 100% on board with my "toes in the sand" idea. Wedding, dinner, dancing..she knew exactly what i was talking about. And from there she made our vision come to life. Every single detail was accommodated. And it wasn't coming from a place of hospitality and customer service. She genuinely was so excited for us to have our perfect wedding. She even offered to store our decorations at her house because we were coming from out of state and didn't have a place to put things. She is the absolute sweetest and amazing at what she does. She was able to take the venue that was already beautiful and turn it into something straight out of our dreams. Can't recommend her and Galilee enough.

The team at Galilee Beach Club absolutely knocked it out of the park for my June 2023 beach wedding. Emily was my main point of contact. She is wonderful to work with! She made the planning process a breeze. She is organized, professional, knowledgeable, and just overall a wonderful person. I was worried that planning would be stressful going into it, but she was so easy to work with and my worries subsided immediately once I knew our wedding was in the BEST of hands. The whole team at Galilee is great- we had to switch up our timeline mid-event due to the weather and everyone was on top of everything. No one missed a beat. The food and drinks were also great! I would absolutely recommend Galilee Beach Club to anyone looking for a RI beach wedding. If you're looking for a place to get married on the beach, this is the place!

Defiantly recommend this venue. The staff is so attentive and make you feel special. The food is amazing. Everyone who attended our event loved their meal and the service. Beautiful scenery as well. Our ceremony was right on the beach in October and the weather was perfect. The best part is the staff really makes you feel special.

Galilee Beach Club was absolutely a wonderful venue, and I couldn't recommend it enough!! I've always wanted a beach wedding without breaking the bank and stumbled across Galilee. We took a tour of the venue and fell in love. It was the only venue we looked at and we booked it right on the spot! Galilee Beach Club was the PERFECT venue. Between the beautiful ocean views and the lovely nautically decorated premises, I couldn't believe we were able to secure this venue at such a reasonable cost. Chris and Emily were absolutely amazing to work with. They were very understanding and relaxed, making our needs/wants the utmost priority. Not only were they so attentive throughout the whole planning process, but Chris was right there every step of the way on the big day to make sure everything went as smooth as possible. (and it did, it was the best day ever! There were no hiccups whatsoever) The food was great and the staff/service was incredible! Nobody wanted for anything. I received so many complements from my guests about Galilee Beach Club & how amazing their staff was. My only regret is that I don't have another occasion to book the venue out again.... just yet! lol

A very happy bride,
Danielle Van Hennik

David and I were in great communication through the entire process! I moved from the East coast to the West coast in the middle of my engagement, so it was challenging not being in the area while we continued planning the wedding. I must have sent David emails weekly once it got down to the last few months before the wedding, and he was so responsive and helpful and it made it that much easier! The venue is absolutely gorgeous, I fell in love immediately after visiting the first time. I highly recommend Galilee Beach Club if you're looking for a beach venue! The only downsides I have are in-house catering, we couldn't pick a catering company and the catering at Galilee was pretty pricey, another downside was that there was not enough time in the evening for everything. We did an evening wedding from 6-11pm and the food wasn't even served until close to 8:30pm. I felt rushed to get speeches done as well as first dances and reception dancing. ALSO, their audio kind of sucked. It was so hard to hear the music for dancing and their microphone quality isn't the greatest. We had the microphone outside during the ceremony and one of my friends sang a song, and it was so muffled and difficult to listen to. I wish the microphone was better quality because my friend has a stunning voice and the microphone was kind of a fail. And if you do a Spotify playlist or use their audio, I highly recommend a Bluetooth speaker or another audio set up.

My husband and I had our ceremony and reception at Galilee Beach Club in September. Everything was so beautiful! The inside reception area is fresh, clean, and light. The deck is quite large. All areas have wonderful views of the beach. The beach itself is private and you have the whole place to yourself. They change managers quite frequently, but all were easy to work with. If I could do it every year it would be at the Beach Club!! Definitely a gem!

Galilee Beach Club was an absolutely gorgeous place for our wedding. The breathtaking view and the rustic, beach club charm make for a beautiful venue. We had about 110 guests which was the perfect amount without it being too tight and Milonzis Fine Catering which is Galiee's exclusive caterer does an AMAZING job.

Our daughter chose the Galilee Beach Club for her wedding last weekend (June 4, 2016). It was the best choice ever!
The venue is casual, yet beautiful. With the help of gorgeous weather, the ceremony was held on the beach with the sound of waves in the background. Our caterer, Kevin Millonzi, did a top notch job of providing the best food and service possible. Everyone raved about the appetizers, meals and especially the heirloom tomato salad!! This truly was a wedding dream come true for our daughter, her husband and all of our extended family and friends. Bravo Galilee Beach Club!!

We held our wedding ceremony and reception at Galilee Beach Club and had the most amazing and memorable experience. First, the set up was perfect for an outdoor ceremony. Weather is always a concern when planning an outdoor wedding and the club made sure there was a contingency plan in place if the weather did not cooperate. Millonzi Catering provided the food and it was great! I am still hearing how good the food was!!! The club made our wedding day one of the best days of our lives. I would highly recommend this venue!!! Excellent value for the money.

We loved the Galilee Beach Club!! It was a simple yet stunning venue for our Sunday morning wedding. The staff was very easy to work with in the months leading up to our event, and they were always prompt to answer any questions that we had. Our guests commented over and over that they LOVED the Galilee Beach Club, and that their private beach was the absolute perfect venue for a wedding. The food was excellent, the reception room was beautiful, and the dugout area was the perfect place to gather and calm our nerves before the ceremony. Overall, we are thrilled that we chose the Galilee Beach Club.

Ideal location for beach wedding, fabulous staff that helps with everything

It is a dream beach wedding location!! The manager Wendy
was professional and took care of complete setup!

We had the best wedding ever at Galilee Beach Club. The venue needs very little decor, the beach is gorgeous and Wendy, the club manager is great to work with.

To say Emily and the team at GBC made our dreams come true is an understatement. From the moment we met, we were immediately impressed with her positive attitude, attention to detail, and organization. We fell in love with the venue initially, but now upon reflecting, it was the collective efforts of the staff of Galilee Beach Club that we will forever cherish and appreciate for the rest of our lives.

Emily patiently listened and worked hard throughout the entire process, answering endless emails from me, while collaborating with Chris, the manager, Chef Rob, and the rest of her event staff to make all of our ideas come to life. Emily’s planning meetings along the way were focused, thorough, and super informative. She made time (even during her hectic season) for us, always. We trusted her completely with our vision and she knocked it out of the park.

For me, I was in awe of her attention to the little things… the plate of hors douerves delivered to the bridal suite for us right after the ceremony, the signature drinks in our toasting flutes during dinner, the floating candles she suggested for the sweet heart table, right down to Emily locating our missing marriage license! She did it all with grace and ease. On top of the beautiful set up, Emily and her team packed up everything (and I mean everything!) into my car that night which truly was an unbelievable service.

Chris, the General Manager, was our officiant and he was incredible. We had only met Chris a handful of times before we got married, but we felt as if he was one of our good friends. He knew exactly what we were looking for and we couldn’t have asked for a better ceremony. And the food! Everything was out of this world. Multiple guests claimed the short rib was the best they ever had. Chef Rob’s seared tuna steaks were prepared to perfection, even impressing a room full of tuna fisherman, which is certainly not an easy feat!

The Galilee Beach Club was a warm, welcoming, highly professional, full service, simply spectacular place to get married. Our wedding surpassed our wildest dreams, which was undoubtedly the result of the hard work and long hours put in by Emily, Chris, Rob and the rest of the event staff at GBC. As two native Rhode Islanders and Galilee locals, we could not have had a more perfect setting for one of the most memorable days of our lives. We are forever grateful to have worked with such a remarkable team.

The staff at Galilee Beach Club we’re fantastic! Words cannot even begin to fathom how supportive, professional, friendly, and flexible they are. From the largest tasks to the smallest details, Emily and her staff made our day the smoothest it could have been. We were in constant communication with Emily throughout the entire planning process, and she was accommodating every step of the way. We were able to use our own vendors, bring in our own decorations, all at an affordable price given the beauty of the venue itself! We loved Emily and her staff and will be forever grateful for their assistance.

As soon as we visited the Galilee Beach Club, we knew this was the perfect venue for our beach wedding. Our original plans of a destination wedding were canceled due to COVID but this ended up being so much better. David was awesome - always set up an appointment to meet whenever I had questions and was very helpful and accommodating. I highly recommend this venue - all of our guests raved about the food and the beauty of the venue.

Had our reception there absolutely beautiful! Wish they had a better catering company. But the location and venue were amazing!

I loved our venue it was so beautiful and everyone loved how beautiful it was! The only complaint is the catering company. Don’t use Kevin Millonzi catering they are very unprofessional and will not answer you as soon as you give them the deposit. Then they will blame you even when you’ve emailed and called them many times and they do not respond until the week before your wedding. It’s horrible working with them I would definitely demand you to use a different company or just not have food there at all it’s not worth the trouble.

Galilee Beach Club is not a formal venue but the location (on a good or bad day) is amazing. Everyone was helpful and enthusiastic and worked very hard to make our event memorable. Kevin Millonzi who catered the wedding was amazing to work with. There were only raves about the food and his staff worked incredibly hard. Would highly recommend to anyone who wants a smaller, less formal affair.

Venue is beautiful and the staff is extremely kind and helpful. However they only put 40 chairs for a 60 person wedding, which is apparently standard for a beach wedding. I also wish there was a bit more freedom for what we were allowed to do ourselves. (Such as providing our own beverages-like a lemonade stand for example) And the 'bridal suite' downstairs is also their storage room. When we added our own stuff there was hardly any room to actually get ready, and the pictures weren't very pretty. We had a really good experience overall however, and I would definitely recommend using them.

Beautiful venue on the beach with a beautiful reception area.

I would highly recommend The Galilee Beach Club. They did an excellent job of meeting all of our needs and requests. The inside of the hall has been completely redone and looks amazing. The food was absolutely delicious, my husband and I had nothing to complain about.

The employees and wedding coordinator were polite, courteous and a great help in making my day special.

My fiance, mom and soon to be mother in law as well as myself met with Dave and Millonozi fine catering not too long ago. They were able to answer all our questions, seeming very willing to work with us but also being realistic. We loved the vibe, simplicity and overall view of the club. We have since booked them and are planning to marry there in two summers!

The venue is small but very nice. One thing to note is that you have no choice in a caterer if you chose this venue. The catering company is okay at best. Kevin (the caterer) was very nice and detailed before he got our money, then seemed to disappear and to procrastinate on most things after we paid him. He was at the wedding for 70% of it and left before it ended. The waitstaff is nice but did some things that were not warranted during the night, like give away part of the bridal party's cake, tell guests they can sit wherever they'd like to, not save any appetizers for the bridal party, etc.
Wendy was the original manager when we booked. Then, they switch managers to David. He was not nearly as accommodating as Wendy seemed to be. First off, Wendy reached out to us many times during the course of the time before the wedding. She tried to keep track of what other vendors we were using and describing certain details about the place. We were traveling from south Texas for our wedding there. So, she was helpful to us since we couldn't go there in person. On the other hand, David only reached out once to introduce himself. I was able to easily schedule both a tour and rehearsal with him via email though. He was prompt to get back to me. Once we got to the venue to take a tour, he didn't seem to care very much about showing us the place and we had to wait for him to arrive to unlock the building. Then, he called the night before the rehearsal to say he had to work at his other job and wouldn't be there for the rehearsal. He did however allow us to use the grounds that we could access without a key. He just overall seemed much less professional than Wendy. All of this was okay to deal with before the wedding. But, the day of the wedding, he apparently wasn't even there. That striked me as problematic because at the end of the evening there were a few issues that needed to be hashed out. The wedding turned out great. There was just issues with management.
