The Islander Inn

What you'll get when holding a wedding at the Islander Inn:
-Great value: Their ceremony packages include perks like two nights at the hotel, a $100 gift certificate to the Isles restaurant, champagne and chocolate.
-Beautiful location: The (public) beach outside the hotel was a stunning backdrop.
-Convenience: Having a hotel room 1500 feet away from the wedding site was amazing.

What you won't get:
-A lot of information from hotel staff: Hotel staff will direct you to the an off-site contact for any questions you might have. The contact was friendly and fairly responsive, but it makes it tough when issues arise. Also, there wasn't communication about where our ceremony would actually be held, which was confusing day-of.
-Guaranteed cleanliness of beach: Because it's a public beach, there may be trash in the sand/around your ceremony site. Looking at wedding pictures, I completely cringe because someone had stuck trash in the wooden fence that lines the steps to the beach... which made its way into the shots of me walking down the "aisle." I don't really think this is the venues fault, but it's something to be aware of.

Rebecca and her staff helped to make our wedding all that we dreamed of and more. She provided exceptional service throughout the planning process. She promptly responded to all calls and emails and ensured that our questions were always answered in a timely and professional manner. As a result planning from 3,000 miles away was a little less stressful for us. The food and staff the day of our event were outstanding too. I think our guests are still talking about their delicious shrimp & grits and crab stuffed flounder. Thank you Rebecca, Justin and staff for helping to make our special day perfect!
