We cannot thank Mike, Karen, and Skye enough for making our wedding day a truly unforgettable and blessed experience! Grace River Island Resort is absolutely beautiful. Mike has been the kindest, most responsive, and easy-to-work-with owner throughout the entire process. His attention to detail and genuine care for our big day made everything so smooth and stress-free.
Skye, the venue coordinator, was a true blessing. She went above and beyond throughout the entire day, ensuring that everything was perfect and that we had everything we needed. Her support made all the difference, and we are so thankful for her help.
The venue provided everything we could have possibly needed—from vendor referrals and tables, chairs, and linens, to toiletries, hair dryers, and eating utensils. They even had games, grills, beach towels, bridal and groom suites, and a stunning cross arbor. It was clear that everything was thoughtfully provided to make our day as beautiful and seamless as possible.
Our families can’t stop talking about how beautiful the venue was, and some are already planning to rent the space again for a family reunion! We are so grateful to the Petersons and Skye for making our wedding day not only memorable but also a true blessing. We will cherish and remember this day for the rest of our lives.
Thank you from the bottom of our happy hearts!
With love and gratitude,
Erin & John
November Wedding at Grace River Island

Had one of the greatest times of our lives staying at the Grace River Island Resort for our November Wedding! We booked for November 22nd - 25th and from the moment we arrive we were in awe of how breath taking the location was, just like the first time we saw it a year prior. Mike, Karen, and Skye were very attentive to our questions and needs, and everything was ready for us upon our arrival. All the amenities they provided were clean and fresh, ready for us to use, shout out to the cleaning crew! There was plenty of room for our wedding party of 20, and we spent four amazing days making wonderful memories with our family and friends. The sunsets here were truly magical, as we would often gather at the dock to take in the view and spend most of the nights cozy around the firepit. On the day of the wedding, their team helped set up tables, worked alongside the vendors, and were extremely professional throughout the day. I'll be forever grateful that Skye came out with a tray of food for me and my husband, thanks to her we could actually taste all of our catering menu while we were in the process of taking photos and videos! The hospitality that was shown to us by the Grace River Island team was impeccable and they truly made our stay there one we shall never forget!!!

My husband and I had the privilege of celebrating our wedding at Grace River Island, and we couldn’t have asked for a more perfect experience! From the moment we arrived, we knew we had chosen the right place. The venue itself is absolutely stunning—nestled by the river, surrounded by nature with a peaceful atmosphere that made our day feel like a true fairytale.
A huge thank you to the incredible owners, Karen and Mike, who made us feel like family from the very start. Their warmth, professionalism, and genuine care for our special day were evident at every step of the process. They truly went above and beyond to ensure everything was exactly how we envisioned, and their passion for creating magical moments was inspiring.
We also cannot thank Skye, the coordinator, enough. Skye’s attention to detail, organizational skills, and calm, reassuring presence made everything run so smoothly. She helped us navigate all the little decisions and ensured everything was perfectly timed and stress-free. Thanks to her, we were able to fully relax and enjoy every moment, knowing we were in the best hands.
The entire team at Grace River Island made our wedding day flawless—from the setup, to the ceremony, to the reception. Everything was handled with such care and professionalism. We couldn’t have asked for a more memorable, beautiful experience.
If you’re considering Grace River Island for your wedding, don’t hesitate! Karen, Mike, and Skye will make your dream wedding come true. We’ll cherish these memories forever.

I only have great words to share about not only the place but also the hosts, Mike and his wife are the best hosts ever. Even though we were lost with many things about the wedding preparation, they always had great suggestions reflecting their experience. During the wedding, they were also attentive with an extra co-host (Sky), who helped us set up tables, chairs, and whatever needs popped up. Now, about the place... wonderful is a small word for what's the reality of the place. you have to personally know the place and its sunsets to fall in love with it.
If a 6-star qualification was an option ill give them all.

Amazing venue, location and experience. We spent four days at the island. The venue afforded us the ability to have all of our friends and family have time and space to get to know each other and bond.
From a guys perspective...30 guys in the kitchen having a drink of Johnny Walker Blue, having an outing with all the fellas at Top Golf and all the fellas smoking cigars by the fire pit.
Mike provides a recommended list of vendors such as DJs, florists, caterers, etc. This came in extremely handy especially as we were planning the wedding from Minnesota.

Dear Mike and Karen.
We have so many reflections since our daughter’s wedding March 30!!
Your place is stunning and your support before, during and after the wedding was top notch!
Your recommended vendor list was extremely helpful in planning the food, music, and photography for our daughter’s special day. A big shout out to Kerrigan and team for all their coordination before and during the wedding.
Al and I continue to reflect on this momentous event in our lives and thank you and everyone involved for making it perfect
