The Grace River Island team was an absolute pleasure to work with from start to finish. They were punctual, attentive, and truly cared about making our wedding day special. The venue itself is absolutely stunning, with breathtaking sunsets and a private, intimate feel that was perfect for our medium-sized wedding. We booked the venue for a long weekend, which allowed us to spend quality time with our guests beyond just the wedding day.

I knew with my busy work schedule it would be difficult to plan a wedding all by myself and that wedding planners are expensive. Baker's Ranch provides an all inclusive experience from start to finish with their lovely staff and made it so easy. The venue itself if beautiful and has a lot of variety and photo backdrop magic. They were very communicative and professional throughout the whole process. You can have design sessions and they can bring whatever vision you have for your special day to life. I'm so glad I got married here.

We were so lucky with weather and the sunset, the night was absolutely amazing! Our wedding date was November 12. We had the ceremony on the beach and then the reception was under the pavilion. We decorated mainly with string lights and the vibe was everything I wanted for an island beach wedding. Molly helped us plan and Jess was our day of coordinator, both did an excellent job. Nothing major went wrong and Jess helped keep everything on track. The only real downside was the guests have to use the bathrooms that are inside the restaurant.

I cannot thank you enough for making our wedding reception so very special. I know every bride has wonderful things to say about her vendors, but Bridge Street Bistro is more than just a beautiful setting with fantastic food (even though that would’ve been enough). From the very beginning, Jennifer was available, courteous, and flexible. Our wedding was initially planned for March 23rd, the start of COVID. We were determined to make it and waited til last minute to postpone. She was so kind throughout the process and I’ll never forget her saying “Even it your guests can’t make it, we will make sure the two of you have a very special dinner.” That meant so much to me as I was a nervous wreck! It was clear she meant every word. Just a few highlights: As we were planning, we asked for a plate of oysters to ourselves in case they all ran out while we were taking pictures. I had sort of forgotten about this. When my tired bride self walked into the reception, the first thing I saw was the BEAUTIFUL cheese/fruit plate on our table, with a pile of ahi tuna (and a gorgeous three color sauce, very well plated). Shrimp, oysters, and mussels were then brought to us. They went far above and beyond with this beautiful display and it was delicious. Honestly the tuna was the best I’ve ever had. Chef Ryan, Anthony, and Sydney, were around all night. They not only provided excellent service but were AWESOME to talk to. They helped keep the environment upbeat and fun. It is clear the staff takes pride in their work and that makes all the difference. Even the kitchen staff said hello and were clearly excited to be part of the fun. Everyone raved about the food. It ain’t your typical chicken and potatoes wedding food, that’s for sure. The entrees looked amazing!! I was so full from my seafood and cheese that I couldn’t eat another bite, but they boxed up my entree for me and even the leftover cheese! Many of the places I looked at had strict no leftover policies, and knowing that I could take my wedding food home to try it made the night even better. Thank you, thank you, thank you, for making our day so special. Everyone knows the reception is the best part and it absolutely was. I hope I didn’t mess up any names or forget anyone. Y’all are the best!!! Five years later, this was still one of the best nights of my whole life. Guests still tell me how special our reception was (and how great the food was). I'd do it all again in a heartbeat!
