Team Building Dinner
We had a celebration of life for a family member at the islander. The room was perfect and the employees were easy to work with. The room and restrooms were clean and the staff set up the room to our specifications with regard to tables and chairs. Did not have to rent any tables and chairs, as they had plenty. Very good experience overall.

Celebration of Life
The best wedding venue on the beach
​
I am a retired beach wedding provider and I hosted several weddings at Islander over the years. When my daughter decided on a beach wedding herself I knew I wanted Islander. Its difficult to find reception venues in the area that are affordable and no "inside" rules attached. At the Islander you have the freedom to use your own vendors for ceremony, coordinating, catering, DJ's, ect. This can save you thousands of dollars. The convenience of having all your guest in one place, the ceremony on the beach, and a reception on site saves so much time and money. No having to drive to another location is key especially in the heavy traffic months. No stressing about guest or groom arriving on time from miles away. The venue is always being updated. Its very clean and the neutral color means you can rest that your decor will not clash. They provide plenty of tables and chairs. The staff and managers are amazing to work with with and so accommodating. You will not go wrong choosing Islander.

Everything went well. I liked having an indoor/outdoor venue. We had a band and it was great.
