Jess and her team at Island View Waterfront Venue gave our daughter a dream of a wedding that we all loved! All of the day was just perfect - from the planning of the event to the final execution. Every detail was choreographed to perfection with such care and attention to every detail. It felt like a destination wedding on an island with water all around. There was so much space for the kids to run around and for the adults to dance and the table settings were so gorgeous. I highly recommend Jess and Island View Waterfront for the wedding of your dreams. It is so apparent that she loves what she does.

I recently spent a sunny sunday morning at Island View Waterfront Cafe and it was nothing short of magical. The location right on the water offers stunning views, and the gentle lapping of waves set the perfect backdrop for a kayaking adventure. From the moment I arrived, I felt welcomed by the laid-back, friendly atmosphere that makes this spot so special.
Spending time at Island View Waterfront Cafe after kayaking was absolutely magical, as I settled into a sun-drenched patio chair overlooking the Chesapeake
If you’re looking for an unforgettable kayaking experience paired with outstanding local hospitality, Island View Waterfront Cafe is the place to go.

Me and my husband had our wedding here and the whole process from start to finish was Astonishing. Jessica is amazing and made everything feel like home from the moment we toured islandview to the moment we said our goodbyes on our wedding day. She is very accommodating and very helpful. The food was fantastic and the whole place is yours for any special event you book. You have the inside and outside we used the inside for our food and outside we got married under the two beautiful trees and did our first dance in the middle of the yard. She made sure everything was perfect and even did set up and clean up for us. This venue I would recommend to everyone a thousand times over and will use this venue in the future. We can't thank Jessica enough for the amazing service and day she provided us with. Please if you are thinking about getting married by the water you have to check this place out!!

We hosted a surprise 50th birthday party for my boyfriend at Island View Waterfront. We could not have been more pleased with the way Jessica handled every detail of our small event. She was friendly, down to earth, and always steps ahead of any potential problems. Your event can be as extravagant or as simple as you would like. She has a collection of vendors for any extras you would like to include at your event. I mean, it really does not get any easier!
The day of the event when we arrived- the food was ready, the drinks were poured, the decorations were up, the music was on…..all we had to do was simply show up and have a good time. Booking our event here made it so we didn’t have to worry about all the details. We simply had to show up and enjoy ourselves and each other- which we did!
I would not hesitate to book an event with Jess. She is truly a gem and her venue reflects that!

We celebrated our wedding at Island View in September 2024, and it was truly a dream come true! My husband and I envisioned a charming backyard-style wedding by the water, complete with romantic lighting and dancing under the stars, and Island View delivered beyond our expectations. From the very first moment we toured the venue, we knew it was the perfect place for us. The picturesque setting created an intimate atmosphere that felt both magical and cozy. Jess, the owner, was an absolute gem throughout the entire planning process. Her warm and approachable nature made everything so easy and relaxed. She even helped calm my nerves during a few freak-out moments the week before the big day—her support was invaluable! If you're looking for a stunning venue that offers a beautiful backdrop and a stress-free experience, I wholeheartedly recommend Island View. It made our special day unforgettable!

First off let me say how amazing the venue manager Jessica was when I contacted Jessica in a email to set up a date and time to come visit the venue for a baby shower I was planning for October she answered my email with great enthusiasm willing to work with us with whatever budget we had that day. She was accommodating, courteous, and set a time and date to visit. Jessica was a wonderful person to work with from beginning to end. She answered every question I had in a timely manner, and even set up a FaceTime chat to go over details on tables and food placement. She also guided me on details of how many tables needed, which linens to rent, and how much food would be needed for the amount of people we planned on coming. She didn’t pressure me on sending the remaining balance till I was completely satisfied with the proposal. She also didn’t pressure me on how much food to purchase or any packages she felt I needed to get for our guest for our day. Overall If I could give her a 5+ rating I would for her expertise, kindness, courteous of our needs, and generous ways about her.
The venue was picture perfect that day from beginning to end. The tables were already set up, linens pressed, food placement out on deck( go with this on an autumn day) you won’t be disappointed. We were greeted by Jessica a couple minutes early said we could come in and set up. Ashley was our warm, sweet, caring assistant that day. Boy did she help us tremendously in setting up, bringing tables as we needed them, and putting centerpieces on our tables, and as the shower got underway made sure ALL of our guest were taken care of. She helped our senior guests so they didn’t have to get out of their seats and she still managed to work the bar for all our guest to have drinks when they wanted them. Never had a line at the bar. She helped my husband and I move the gifts and put them in other room once opened. Set out all the desserts, and even at the end of the shower helped us packaged it all up and take down to put in vehicles. Couldn’t have asked for a better assistant to Jessica. Jessica also put our corn hole boards out for our guest to get outside to enjoy the grounds on our beautiful day in October.
Overall if I could give this venue a 5+ star I would. The venue was amazingly clean, bathrooms were clean, food area clean, and grounds also clean. Overall the venue manager and assistant get a 10/10 for effort, kindness, went above and beyond, and very professional and courteous to All our guest.
We look forward to coming back for another event in the coming years. We left this venue not saying goodbye, but see ya later because we feel we started out as strangers, but left as being lifelong friends and family.
Thank you Jessica and Ashley for sharing your venue with us and our unborn son. It was a day we will never forget and the memories we made are truly appreciated.
