They planned an ideal wedding, then made it a perfect wedding!
Devin and the Runaway Island Team created a ceremony and reception experience that was beyond our dreams. Their attention to detail was impeccable, and they showed tremendous flexibility during the hectic runup to our wedding. You couldn't ask for a more ideal venue or a more professional, accommodating Coordinator. 5 stars!Devin and the Runaway Island Team created a ceremony and reception experience that was beyond our dreams.

The perfect day
I can not thank the staff at Runaway Island enough for making our day so special. They were absolutely wonderful. Everyone raved about the food (island buffet) for weeks to come. Everyone was so professional and helpful with absolutely everything. Devan was PHENOMENAL! She was so helpful and just helped to ease all my worries and stresses.

Exceptional Place to host a wedding!
We cannot say enough about Devin and her crew. The entire experience was over the top special. Not only was the ceremony and reception venue perfect, you could feel the genuine celebration from the entire staff. It felt like family when all was said and done. I would recommend Runaway Island to anyone looking for a fun, beautiful and inclusive place to gather and celebrate! Not to mention the food! I think we are there 3 nights in a row with our wedding staff and friends. It was just perfect! 💗We cannot say enough about Devin and her crew. The entire experience was over the top special.

Beautiful rustic theme and a balcony overlooking the beach
This Venue was perfect and our style. we were able to have the ceremony on the beach through Runaway Island which was convenient for my guest. Devin, the coordinator was amazing. She made everything run smoothly and very responsive throughout the planning. The venue itself is a gorgeous, rustic scenery with a balcony overlooking the beach. It was a cool night and we were able to open up the garage door windows. Food was amazing and so were the bartenders. I couldn't have asked for a better venue for our special day.This Venue was perfect and our style. we were able to have the ceremony on the beach through Runaway Island which was convenient for my guest.

Best Wedding Venue
One word: DEVIN! She is amazing from start to finish! We visited the venue and knew as soon as we left it was the one. The view of the beach, the wood floors, tables and lights hanging from the ceiling… just amazing! During the tour Devin explained everything in great detail. She answered every question we had and others we hadn’t even thought of! We live in Colorado so having her as the venue coordinator was a huge plus. Any time I had a question she was quick to respond and put my mind at ease. It was all so stress free because I knew Devin had it all handled for me. We booked the Ballyhoo Room for our reception and the beach at Runaway Island for our ceremony. It rained the day of our wedding but magically stopped for just the amount of time for the ceremony and pictures. Devin stayed with me until it was time for me to walk down the aisle. She tracked the weather on her phone and continuously kept me updated. Her team of servers were amazing as well. And the food… oh man the food… we served the buffet, mahi mahi, chicken Alfredo, mashed potatoes, etc… everything was so good and all of our guests raved about the food and the service! It was so delicious! Devin and her team worked to make sure every small and big detail was covered! Tables and chairs were setup how we requested, when we came up to the reception Devin got us drinks before heading in for our grand entrance, appetizers were at our seat when we arrived to the reception, they offered to fix our plates and continuously checked on us throughout the reception making sure we had everything we needed. Our wedding day was perfect because of Devin and her team. We highly recommend Runaway Island for your wedding or any celebration. You will not be disappointed!One word: DEVIN!

Affordable Space and Great Food
Great, affordable, and tasty selection of quality food for buffet style catering! Their mango salmon and the skewer shrimps were some of the bests I have ever had, and the non-seafood items if you are not a seafood fan were also well made as well. The Ballyhoo room was very spacious for a small to medium size wedding, with plenty of space to spare for a spacious dance floor. We also rented the beach in front of the restaurant for our wedding ceremony around noon, and the ocean was absolutely gorgeous and not really windy (emerald green!) if you don't mind a few beach bystanders. The staff, including Devin, were very welcoming and nice to us and our guests! Devin was very flexible and helpful, and responded to our requests in a timely manner. Overall, we have great experience and would highly recommend the venue to anyone who is looking for a nice quality and affordable beach-side/destination wedding!Great, affordable, and tasty selection of quality food for buffet style catering!

Devin and her crew made it a magical day!
Devin was spot on with helping us with all the decisions. Food was AMAZING! She worked with us to plan a beautiful beach wedding with the option of moving inside if needed. The staff could not have been better for the reception.Devin was spot on with helping us with all the decisions. Food was AMAZING!

Perfection💙
I couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful wedding. My husband and I used runaway for our ceremony and our reception and it was absolutely perfect! The Ballyhoo room was set up to meet all of our expectations, the view was fabulous, the food was to die for that all of our guests raved over it, and the bartender was slinging drinks like a pro keeping up with our crowd. I wish I could relive this night over and over! Devin made booking and planning a breeze! (Also, giving vendor recommendations since we live out of town was a life saver! Kelly from make my day special was amazing as well)
I would book here for any event and will definitely pass the word on to anyone and everyone I know 💙 thank you for giving me the BEST wedding, it was a dream come true!I couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful wedding.

Best of the freakin' best!
We had a literal dream experience with Devin and her team at Runaway Island. We got engaged in November of 2021 and knew we wanted to get married in PCB, FL and I knew planning a wedding from the West Coast when I would only make ONE trip out to FL before my wedding was going to be... alot. I started looking around and reached out to Devin. We talked over the phone, we talked over text, we talked over email and she was phenomenal. Her assistance and guidance and just the general vibe and ambiance from the venue made me certain the place was for me.
When we did get to meet in person, it was better than I could have imagined. The drinks and the food were great. The venue was GORGEOUS and Devin is just nothing short of amazing. They were incredibly accommodating, answering all my millions of questions always with a positive attitude and gracious response.
My wedding was a literal dream and I genuinely think that was in large part to her and to Runaway Island. My singular favorite moment was being able to watch my future husband take the walk down the beautiful walkway to the beach just minutes before I would.
I can't rave about this place enough. I will come back here every single time I'm in PCB and I hope I always run into the staff and Devin.
Stop your search if you're looking in this area. This is just simply the best choice.We had a literal dream experience with Devin and her team at Runaway Island.

The perfect place for a ceremony and reception.
Devin helped me from day 1! I started planning my wedding 18 months in advance and she helped me every step of the way. The venue was perfect. We had our ceremony and reception at Runaway and couldn’t have asked for a better day. The food was amazing, the bartender was fantastic, and the room was set up so beautifully. Highly recommend getting married here.Devin helped me from day 1! I started planning my wedding 18 months in advance and she helped me every step of the way. The venue was perfect.

Runaway Island is amazing!
I would recommend getting married at Runaway Island to everyone! My husband and I got married there on September 24, 2022. The venue was absolutely wonderful and their staff is amazing. Devin coordinates all the events and is so helpful. She gets back to you in a timely manner. Jack was our bartender for the night and he was amazing. He was a hard worker and was so much fun! The food was wonderful and there was plenty to go around. When making your menu they are very accommodating and try to make what you want happen! I honestly don't have any cons to put about this place! Thank you Runaway Island staff for making our day so special and such a great day to remember!I would recommend getting married at Runaway Island to everyone!

Excellent beach wedding experience
Having our ceremony and reception at Runaway Island was the best decision. I basically told him how many chairs and which I wanted and showed up to put the decorations on and walk down the aisle they took care of everything else. They are service was phenomenal, the food was delicious, and the scenery was breathtaking. I had a small wedding with 30 in attendance and had a dinner reception on the sunset deck. Very reasonably priced especially with having excellent service and excellent food.Having our ceremony and reception at Runaway Island was the best decision.

Run toward Runaway Island!
You won't have to worry about a thing with Runaway Island by your side! I cannot say enough about Devin and her team. Our sequence of events was non-traditional and she accommodated anything we asked. Planning a destination wedding is not easy and you have to trust blindly, to a certain extent...and Devin nailed it. From the planning of our wedding day for the past 9 months to the unexpected weather on our wedding day, Devin and her staff never skipped a beat and everything was exceptional! Thank you, Runaway Island, for making it possible to just enjoy one another and our family on our special day.

Phenomenal!
My husband and I got married here at
Runaway on Feb. 12th. Everything
was perfect. Our reception area was
beautiful, the arch they rented us was
gorgeous and the food was amazing!
Most of our guest made mention that
the food was fantastic. What stood
out most to me was our servers
during reception. They were beyond
amazing. Very professional and great
at their jobs. They came around to
our table often to make sure we were
taken care of and ask us if we needed
anything. It was overall an incredible
experience and not an ounce of me
regrets having my wedding here
Thank you Runaway for being a huge
part of our special day. ❤️My husband and I got married here at
Runaway on Feb. 12th. Everything
was perfect. Our reception area was
beautiful, the arch they rented us was
gorgeous and the food was amazing!
Most of our guest made mention that
the food was fantastic. What stood
out most to me was our servers
during reception. They were beyond
amazing. Very professional and great
at their jobs. They came around to

Excellent Rehearsal dinner
We had the best rehearsal dinner at Runaway Island! It started with our first meeting with Devin. She helped us out tremendously!! We are not from the area but had eaten at the restaurant and knew it was an excellent option. Devin helped us plan a wonderful dinner. The staff was very easy going and fun to work with. Thanks to Chef Dale and Chef Shay for excellent food!! And thank you, Jack, Houston, and Christian for working with our crazy bunch. I will definitely recommend Runaway Island as a go to place for special events!We had the best rehearsal dinner at Runaway Island! It started with our first meeting with Devin.

Beyond every expectation I had!
My husband and I chose this venue due to it being right by the water, the bay doors in the Ballyhoo room would help incorporate the beach. Unfortunately for our night the fog was so thick the beach was unable to be seen, but the venue (room) itself was gorgeous! The staff was beyond amazing and helpful. I would definitely recommend this venue and the staff to anyone looking for a beach venue! The food was incredible we had no complaints at all! We will definitely be returning for lunches and dinners!

5 Stars for Runaway Island
My husband and I were supposed to be married in May of 2020. Thanks to COVID that did not happen and we ended up reschedule our wedding date two more times. Over the course of about a year and a half we worked with Runaway Island to pull together our perfect day. The staff at Runaway Island (shout out to Devin!) were so kind and helpful. They were willing to work with us to reschedule everything which was not an easy task as my husband and I are based out of the Florida area. The most challenging item we faced across all our vendors was response time. We could go days without hearing back from everyone, EXCEPT Runaway Island. They were always so on top of their communication and the many of details that go into any event planning. Devin was fully prepared when it came to guiding us through the planning of the event, to ensuring that our guest with food allergies were taken care of to offering example room layouts for our tables. No question we had for her was too big or too small. The venue itself was beautiful as well. It had just been freshly repainted and the whole room just felt bright and airy. I would hands down recommended anyone have their event at Runaway Island.My husband and I were supposed to be married in May of 2020.
