    Run to book your event! Best experience!

    From meeting with Marnie, we knew we were in AMAZING hands! The venue is stunning, the employees are amazing, the food is OUT OF THIS WORLD GOOD, and every step of the way was easy and stress free (minus the cupcakes never arriving from coccadotts, don't use coccadotts in myrtle beach). Marnie is on top of the process, answers questions and offers suggestions to help make your day perfect! The food was PERFECT! 200+ people ALL RAVED about the food! When do 200+ people ever agree?!?!?! EVERYONE loved the food! It was out of this world!!! Marnie really made sure we felt special, and the venue was excellent! 200+ people had the best time, it was flawless!!!

    Perfect from Start to Finish

    I would give six out of five stars if I could. Marnie and the team at Oceanfront Weddings crafted the perfect wedding experience. We began planning the wedding in January/February of 2023 and were married on 9 September 2023 all thanks to this venue. My fiancé and I were living in Texas and Florida without any family in the area, so we were a little nervous having booked the venue without seeing it. I cannot praise Marnie and the venue enough. She treated us like family, made us feel welcome, and immediately became invested in ensuring our day was special. Marnie was flexible with her time, offered us a FaceTime tour of the venue, allowed me to handle most of the planning and decision-making over the phone, and continued to respond to all of my questions and requests up to the very day of. She came prepared with excellent vendors. They have an incredible selection of meal options/passed hours d’oeuvres. I took many of her award-winning suggestions and do not regret a single option. My family loves good food, and THEY DO AN AMAZING JOB WITH THE FOOD. Our entrees were flank steak and cordon bleu with collard greens and herb roasted potatoes as appetizers. For the passed hours d’oeuvres, we did shrimp and grits in martini glasses, tomato tartlets, and bacon-wrapped sweet potatoes. Every person was RAVING. You do not need a separate wedding coordinator. Trust me when I say Marnie is that good. I worked in hospitality at an award-winning bed and breakfast, and I was blown away by the professionalism and efficiency of Marnie and her staff. She knows the location, she knows the venue, and she knows hospitality better than anyone I have ever worked with. She and her staff managed weather concerns and hiccups with elegance. They saw to every little touch like recommending to the girls in the wedding party not to wear heeled shoes on the beach, showing me how to save money on elegant centerpieces from Sam’s Club that accented the natural beauty of the beach venue, showing me where not to place cards that will blow away in the wind, and even folding the napkins into roses to indicate where the couple sits. This venue is an excellent choice as they work as the caterer, alcohol provider, ceremony setup/Teardown, waitstaff, bar staff, cake service, and day-of wedding coordinator. The price is unbelievably affordable for the quality that is provided. I will be forever thankful to Marnie and Oceanfront Weddings for making our day so special. Military friendly, handicap friendly, gay friendly! I cannot recommend her highly enough.

    July 4th, Wedding

    Marnie and staff were very professional throughout our experience and we feel like we couldn’t have picked a more perfect venue! The food was very good and the atmosphere was perfect! There we’re beautiful views of the ocean from the inside as well as outside. The chapel down the street was also perfect and Larry the sound engineer was super nice! We would definitely recommend this venue!

    Absolutely Perfect- 4/15/23

    We're going to try to put into words how truly incredible everything about our wedding at The Isles was but we honestly don't think words can do justice.

    The venue itself is beautiful. We made several venue visits up and down the NC coast and nowhere else was remotely in the same level as the Isles. Absolutely beautiful interior and great beachfront gave us the perfect modern beach atmosphere we were looking for.

    From our first visit we immediately felt at home with Marnie and her staff and knew we were in great hands. She was so thorough in talking through our vision of what we wanted our day to be like that everything turned out absolutely perfect down to the last detail. Marnie and her team are genuinely some of the nicest people we've ever had the pleasure of meeting. It's incredibly clear the kindness and passion that this place operates with. We were also provided a vendor list which made finding our DJ/officiant/photographer/shuttle/etc. a breeze. Trust the list recommendations and you won't be disappointed!

    The food was AMAZING. The menu is very deep and diverse so there are truly options for everyone. Our tasting session provided us with a few difficult choices because literally everything we sampled was incredible. For anyone curious, we went with the steak & pecan crusted chicken for our main entrees, and several passed apps (GET THE BACON WRAPPED SWEET POTATO BITES, TRUST US!).

    Everything about this day was truly perfect and we owe a ton of that to this venue and staff. If you're venue hunting in this area, you NEED to stop in at The Isles and see for yourself.

    Absolute Perfect Decision

    I cannot say enough good things about The Isles and Marnie! She was wonderful with communication from start to finish (and I had several questions). Her recommendations for vendors were spot on. The food was excellent, so kudos to the chef and their team. Guests raved about the bartenders. My dream of having a perfect beach wedding was brought to life by Marnie and her crew. The knowledge, attention to detail, and hospitality exceeded our expectations. We are so grateful for the best day ever due to all of their hard work!!!

    It was a perfect evening in every way!!! Thank you Marnie and staff.

    We had my son’s rehearsal dinner at The Isles Beach Club/Restaurant. IT WAS ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL!!!! The location was beautiful but I have to say hands-down the food was some of the best I’ve ever had. They have their own unique flare!!! We had guest from all over the United States. I’m still getting rave remarks about how superb everything was. You could not ask for a better staff! Marnie is first class when it comes to her food and presentation. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND The Isles and Marnie….they are the best!!!

    The Best Day Ever

    We were blown away with Marnie, Anna Lisa and the staff! Planning our beach wedding from way up North in Pa was a breeze with Marnie! She is so friendly and helpful in the planning and any accommodations! Talking and planning with Marnie was like talking with my best friend. She checked everything including the tide charts! She thought of everything and answered all my crazy questions! She made it so easy to design and DIY all my decor, by providing me with measurements and pictures. They bought special liquor and made an appetizer just for the groom since he is so picky! We brought labeled bins of all the decor, favors and pictures the day before and Anna Lisa and her team just did an amazing job! I was so surprised at how beautiful everything looked. And she made sure we were taken care of the entire wedding and reception! They even made sure we had a large dance floor for our choreographed first dance! From the staff cues to walk down the aisle to every small detail on our welcome table, they thought of everything! Anna Lisa immediately brought appetizers and drinks to us in our private room after the ceremony! The food was unbelievable! And our guests continue to say that it was the most beautiful wedding they had ever been to; and the food was just incredible! I’ve been eating and hanging out at the tiki bar since I was 21 and the Isle’s holds such significance for us as a couple we couldn’t have dreamed of a more perfect place to say I do! We will never stop coming there and have made new wonderful friends! Thank you Marnie, Anna Lisa and the the team for giving us the best day ever!

    All around great experience!

    August 7th, 2021 was one of the best days of my life, it was my wedding day! Marnie and her team at The Isles did an AMAZING job with everything related. If we were not 100% about something in particular she fixed it so that we would be. We were married on the beach and it was absolutely perfect. Marnie made my vision come to life. We rented the bamboo canopy which was absolutely beautiful as well as the white chairs. I loved the fact that we we able to set up a lot of items before the wedding during our rehearsal. What we could not set up them the team at the isles did for us as well as breaking everything down. Most of my guests raved about how great the dancing was as well as how amazing the food was too! We had butler passed Hor’ dourves of peanut chicken and a mini crab cake. For dinner we had a simple salad and the blackened mahi-mahi with mango salsa and the Jamaican stewed chicken which went great with our surroundings being close to the beach. Everything was so delicious! Marnie helped us create a personalized menu for our guest with options The Isles already had and we could not be happier with the outcome. With panoramic views of the beach it is a beautiful place to have an event. I would 1,000 times over pick this event venue again! I appreciate all of the help and professional advice they offered. Thank you so much for making this the best wedding day for us!

    Amazing beach wedding

    Marnie and her staff were awesome. We had to cancel and reschedule for a year out due to Covid and everyone was flexible and great. The staff was very accomodating with set up and even helped us take down the room. We were also very happy with the food and reasonable cost. Marnie recommended DJ Jake and he was professional and also did a great job with set up and helping guide the ceremony.

    Wonderful Wedding Venue!

    The Isles was a wonderful venue for my spouse and I. They were on top of everything and were so helpful with the ceremony and planning that we didn’t even need a wedding planner! It was also a same sex wedding and we felt welcomed in every way. Marnie and her team are the best! 10/10 would recommend!

    Wonderful Wedding

    Our wedding at the Isles was absolutely beautiful. There is not really anything negative that I could say about our experience. Marnie and her staff were absolutely wonderful and attentive. It was easy to communicate with her even planning a wedding from 500 miles away. The food was absolutely delicious and everything was taken care of for us as we wished for the day of. We would highly recommend this venue!

    Beautiful Venue!

    We’ve been coming to Ocean Isle for years! My aunt got married here 7 years ago, it was so beautiful then. When we came this year to get married, it was totally renovated and it was stunning! We were able to use their centerpieces included in the package, they were free so we could use them or didn’t. The food was AMAZING, me, my husband, and all of our guests loved the food and couldn’t get enough of it! We were worried that we wouldn’t have been able to have our wedding due to COVID, but our guest list dropped significantly and it was so much easier to work with. Marnie was amazing and did everything in her power to make our wedding happen! She’s the best and I will ALWAYS refer anyone who asks where they should get married, to get married here!

    Absolutely Fabulous Ocean Front Venue

    The venue is absolutely gorgeous! It’s very modern and classy with a beautiful ocean view in the main banquet hall. Marnie the event director was such a pleasure to work with. From the beginning she provided all referrals for vendors which made it easier to chose things like the officiant and DJ (both were phenomenal ) since I was not from the area. She was very responsive to all my requests and accommodating to all my needs. Food was fantastic!! All my guests are still raving about how good the food was. On the day of the wedding Annalise and Dawn helped my party with decor and just waited on us hand and foot to ensure we were pleased. Hands down A1 service and professionalism! Thank you for making my day so special!

    Couldn't have asked for a better venue or wedding coordinator!!!

    We were absolutely taken away with Marnie and her staff! They exceeded our expectations every step of the way!! We honestly couldn't have dreamed of a more perfect wedding even though it rained. Marnie made sure that everything was perfect, that I didn't have to worry about a single thing, and that my stress levels were as low as possible! We had our rehearsal dinner and wedding at the venue and if we had to do it all over again, we wouldn't change a single thing! We honestly can't say enough good things about Marnie and The Isles Restaurant and Tiki Bar. Marnie made it feel as though we were family and she did everything she could to make my vision a reality and absolutely blew our minds away with the work her and her staff did!! You can't get a more caring and hard working wedding coordinator than Marnie. Her and her family work together to throw you an exceptional experience. We will be stopping in to the Isles every time we head down to NC. You will not regret booking with this venue and coordinator!! We received countless compliments and were told by many people that it was the best wedding they have ever attended (we are in our mid 30's and most people there were already married and have been to a lot of weddings)!! It was the BEST DAY OF OUR LIVES!!! Soo much love and happiness!! Thank you Marnie and the Isles Restaurant and Tiki Bar for going above and beyond to make our weekend absolutely perfect!! You are an all-star team!!

    best day ever

    The venue, Marnie, food.... everything was amazing! We had our rehearsal dinner with the Shrimp n Grits, Crab Dip, tacos.... everyone absolutely loved the food and the tiki bar. For the wedding.... it was the perfect day & everyone at the isles were so great in helping us get set up and where we needed to be. We did a chef station pasta bar and oh my word..... the best Alfredo on the planet! It was out of this world and every single person who attended cannot stop talking about it! If only we could go back and have that day again.... it was absolutely perfect.

    Amazing venue and food!

    The Isles not only hosted our rehearsal dinner, but catered our small wedding of 40 in Ocean Isle Beach. The venue was gorgeous, the food was incredible, and Marnie made everything so easy!

    She decorated the rehearsal space perfectly with the decorations I gave her and checked in with us regularly throughout the evening. For the catering of the wedding reception, she was onsite and treated all of our guests with the upmost respect.

    I highly recommend The Isles for your rehearsal dinner and/or wedding, it's the best!

    Marnie was an absolute ROCK STAR!! She went above & beyond to ensure my daughter's wedding went off without a hitch!! The food was superb, the service staff was timely, professional and clean. This venue is a MUST for anyone wanting a beach, pool or indoor wedding because this venue has it all.
