Thank You! New Friends and Old Friends... I was going to give Jessica a "time-out" for blabbing about my birthday, but it turned into a virtual surprise party, and I love her for it... and I love you all for the Birthday wishes. Maybe next year we can do the birthday party in person :)

📍 This Weekend at Island View

We’ve got a pretty good wedding weekend ahead. 🤍

Saturday, we’re celebrating a couple who already did the whole “just married!” thing… and now they’re bringing their best people together for the wedding reception. 🥂🎉

Then Sunday, we’re slowing things way down for an intimate ceremony by the water with just the people closest to them. 🌊🤍

Two weddings. Two very different ways to celebrate.

And honestly? We love that.

There’s no one right way to get married. Just make it feel like you.

Happy weekend! 🥂

💍 Today we’re celebrating Heather!

We’re getting ready for a beautiful bridal shower by the water, and this one is a little extra special to us.

Heather’s parents were married right here at Island View. ❤️

So getting to welcome their daughter back to the View for this next chapter feels pretty darn special.

From one generation to the next, we’re still here doing what we’ve always loved most—giving people a place to gather, celebrate, and make memories.

Congratulations, Heather! We can’t wait to celebrate you today. 🤍

We’re getting everything ready for a birthday celebration by the water, and we can’t wait to see the look on their face when they arrive. 🎉

There’s just something special about gathering the people you love in a place where everyone can relax, laugh a little louder, and stay a little longer.

Happy Birthday to today’s guest of honor—we hope it’s a surprise you’ll never forget! 🤍

Planning a party?

Before you start calling around for a private room…

Take a look at this. 👀

A waterfront setting, room to gather, fresh air, and a place where your guests can truly relax.

Sometimes the best part of the celebration isn’t what’s on the menu. But it’s where everyone gets to enjoy it together.

Graduation parties, milestone birthdays, baby showers, family gatherings, weddings…just to name a few.
We’d love to show you what a celebration can feel like at Island View.
