TESTIMONIALS                    Our entire wedding weekend could
                                          not have been more perfect thanks
                                          to your wonderful staff and hotel.
                                          We look forward to returning each
                                          year to celebrate our anniversary.

                                          Hands down perfection! The staff at Island House Hotel made us feel
                                          like royalty during our wedding weekend. They were so courteous
                                          and welcoming! Our ceremony was on the front garden terrace
                                          on a Sunday afternoon in June. Nothing could have made the
                                          day more perfect. From the stunning landscape and water in the
                                          background to the sounds of horse hooves on the ground to the
                                          smells of fudge in the air, we loved everything about our wedding!

                                          My husband and I had our wedding reception at Island House
                                          Hotel and also stayed there, along with our family and friends.
                                          Everyone at Island House was wonderful and incredibly helpful.
                                          When the forecast showed rain, they offered to move our
                                          space for us and made sure we were happy with where we
                                          ended up. The food and service are top-notch. We can’t wait
                                          to come back to Island House to celebrate our anniversary!

                                          The Island House and 1852 Grill Room were perfect venues
                                          and hosts for all of our family and friends! I can't even begin
                                          to tell you how many compliments we received on the
                                          food, bar and service! “Best Wedding food ever!” We can't
                                          wait to come back year after year for our anniversary!
