"Bonnet Island is enchantingly charming"

What was your favorite part of working with the Merri-Makers team?

The staff is highly talented. They made the pre planning process a pleasant experience and the day of the wedding they ensured everything was perfect. They are nothing short of professional.

What was your favorite food of the night? Which dish were guests raving about?

All of the food was incredible. To single out one individual menu item would do a diservice to how exceptional of a job the culinary team did. The Platinum package was well worth it. Our guests were endlessly commenting on how amazing the food was. The presentation and display at cocktail hour was stellar

What was your favorite photo spot of the venue?

The dock for our first look and the marsh at sunset were perfect for photos.

What made you select this venue?

Lauren had spent her Summers in LBI and had passed by secretly always wanting to get married there. Bonnet Island is enchantingly charming and suited the two of us wholeheartedly.
