Tessa & Howard
"Five stars across the board!! Island View Waterfront is a hidden gem. The celebration will be a core memory of our marriage and our guests raved about the venue all night. Jess’s reassurance, knowledge, and emotional support got us through the planning process. The brochure that she created with partnering companies made the decision making process smooth and painless. The venue itself is gorgeous and extremely budget friendly for what the property offers. The Island View team was incredibly helpful throughout the set up, party, and take down. We will definitely be booking an event with Island View again. We cannot recommend it enough."

"I can't say enough about Jess and the beautiful venue she owns. From the moment I started planning my wedding, Jess made sure that every detail was taken care of, leaving me stress-free on my big day. Her attention to detail was impeccable, from overseeing the decorations to ensuring there were backup plans in case of rain since our wedding was outside. The day turned out absolutely beautiful, thanks to her meticulous planning and expertise. Her website was incredibly informative, which was a lifesaver during the planning process. Additionally, Jess was always prompt in responding to any questions or concerns I had. I highly recommend Jess and her venue to anyone looking for a magical and stress-free wedding experience."

"We had our wedding here. Island View Waterfront Cafe was everything we envisioned for our wedding!! It had that backyard wedding feel with GORGEOUS waterfront views! Jess was absolutely amazing to work with and her love for weddings and desire for you to have your dream day is evident after working with her. She is a great communicator and was a huge help during the different planning stages of our wedding. During our rehearsal and on the day of I came to her with all the questions and she had already had the answers and plans for those worked out and she is a HUGE reason why our day went so smoothly! We love and Cherish being an Island View Couple!! Some cool perks: flexibility to pick our own vendors; chairs and tables were included in the rental; we rented out the the evening before for our rehearsal and hosted an informal pizza party as we were setting up and organizing all the decor which made everything so much easier; you get to work with Jess and I can't say enough good things about her!!"
Loran & Scott
"Jess and Island View Waterfront were absolutely incredible to work with. Jess shared the same vision as us for our wedding day and helped in every way possible to make that a dream for us. Jess was perfect with communication, extremely accommodating, and upfront and honest about everything during this process. She oversaw all of the set up/clean up as well as the day of our wedding. Jess is organized and laid back and fits into any planning style. The best decision we made is choosing Island View Waterfront and working with Jess! We would recommend her for any event!!"
Sydney & Joseph
"I can't even put in to words how grateful I am to Jess and her team. My husband and I got married here and the wedding could not have been more perfect. Not only did the scenery and the quaint cafe make for amazing photos, but even a month later our guests are still telling us how absolutely beautiful the venue was. What's most important though, is Jess and her team handled EVERYTHING. We didn't even taste test the food before we used their catering, and we were stunned at how good the food was (the best wedding food we've both had). Their professionalism, experience, and friendliness made our day perfect. If I could get married again, I would pick this venue EVERY time without doubt. Thank YOU so much Jess!"
Colleen & Josh
"Absolutely hands down the perfect venue for our wedding day. I couldn’t have dreamed up a more scenic location to celebrate our love with family and friends. Jessica was wonderful and helpful every step of the way. She had recommendations for vendors and helped the entire day from set up to break down. Her passion for what she does really shines through and would recommend for any bride to have their wedding at Island View!"
