My husband and I got married at the Galilee beach club this fall and it couldn’t have been better. Emily is a kind soul and it is very clear she loves what she does. She made the entire wedding planning process so easy and stress free. I’m very grateful to have had her with me on my most favorite day. Everyone at the beach club was professional, kind and exceptional at their job. The food, desserts and drinks were great! I would definitely recommend the Galilee beach club for any event!

Having an out-of-state wedding is extremely difficult when it comes to planning and being able to meet with everybody, but choosing Galilee Beach Club was the best decision we made regarding our wedding not only did it come with a stunning venue, but it also came with an amazing coordinator, Emily, and an extremely talented crew. We are blessed beyond belief to have found this venue and be able to make lifelong friends in the process of planning our wedding, thank you to all the members at Galilee Beach Club!!!!

The Galilee Beach Club went above and beyond my expectations!! I cannot say enough about the place, Emily Hodges, the staff, the food, everything!!! Emily is great, very helpful and knowledgeable and had many great ideas. She’s a hero. The food…the food is the best wedding food I’ve ever had, the short rib was phenomenal. The dessert was amazing, kudos to the new pastry chef, our red velvet wedding cake was so delicious, as were the cannolis and everything else. The staff was great, very attentive, putting water in my hand even when I didn’t know I needed it. The bartenders were the best, my guests were raving about how good they were. Lastly the venue itself, just go visit and see for yourself, you’ll fall in love with the private beach immediately just like I did. Luckily Mother Nature cooperated and we had a gorgeous sunset for pictures. If I could give more than 5 stars for a rating I’d give one hundred Reviewed on 07-10-2023

Emily was absolutely amazing with all things wedding!! She thought of things we had not even considered, and made the process so easy from start to finish. We did not need to worry about a thing- she took care of it all and was so responsive throughout the planning process. During our wedding day the staff at Galilee beach club was so attentive to our needs and always checking on us. And our guests raved about the food! Reviewed on 21-09-2023

Galilee Beach Club was an absolute dream wedding venue. And the HUGEST shout out to Emily Hodges who made our big day possible. When my husband and I first started looking for a wedding venue, we had a very specific vision in mind. We wanted a beachfront wedding with a vintage coastal vibe and (I cannot stress this enough) the entire thing in the sand. Every venue I looked at was more than willing to do a beachfront ceremony but reception had to take place indoors. And then we found Galilee. From the first call with Emily, she was 100% on board with my \"toes in the sand\" idea. Wedding, dinner, dancing..she knew exactly what i was talking about. And from there she made our vision come to life. Every single detail was accommodated. And it wasn't coming from a place of hospitality and customer service. She genuinely was so excited for us to have our perfect wedding. She even offered to store our decorations at her house because we were coming from out of state and didn't have a place to put things. She is the absolute sweetest and amazing at what she does. She was able to take the venue that was already beautiful and turn it into something straight out of our dreams. Can't recommend her and Galilee enough. Reviewed on 17-07-2023

Everyone at Galilee Beach Club was great to work with, and the venue itself is so cute, it was perfect for our beach wedding in June 2023. I worked with Emily to plan our event. She was extremely professional, knowledgeable, and kind. I knew that our wedding was in good hands from the start. Emily made planning a breeze, and the wedding was absolutely perfect! The staff was on top of everything, even through last minute changes to our timeline. The food was delicious and the bartenders were great! I would recommend this venue to anyone looking to have a perfect beach wedding! Reviewed on 08-07-2023

The staff at Galilee Beach Club we’re fantastic! Words cannot even begin to fathom how supportive, professional, friendly, and flexible they are. From the largest tasks to the smallest details, Emily and her staff made our day the smoothest it could have been. We were in constant communication with Emily throughout the entire planning process, and she was accommodating every step of the way. We were able to use our own vendors, bring in our own decorations, all at an affordable price given the beauty of the venue itself! We loved Emily and her staff and will be forever grateful for their assistance. Reviewed on 03-07-2023

The ceremony on the beach was beautiful and a great spot for sunset photos. They have cocktail hour on the outdoor deck and dinner inside with delicious food. It’s decorated very nicely and you can add any other decorations that you want. The staff is very helpful with setting everything up and taking it down after. David is also a great manager to work with and helped make our day perfect. We had an outdoor fire pit and all of our guests commented on how beautiful of a place we picked.

Tina A(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 08-06-2019 The PERFECT Hidden Gem!!!!! Private beach, beautiful reception area and great staff.. what more could you want? You cannot get a beautiful private beach at this price...anywhere. Reception area that you can decorate how you want- you can dress it up! Pictures dont do it justice - It was beautiful and perfect for our 100 guests. Everyone loved the firepits outside too.Yes, the caterer is set but 1. One less hard decision to make and still get to pick your food options and 2. BEST wedding food I've ever had! Kevin's staff was great and attentive - even saved the last of my favorite wine for me! David, the manager, is the perfect balance of laid back and super helpful. Promptly answers any questions, let me visit whenever requested and helped with day-of details. ReAnn, as other reviews mention, is the BEST! Even planning before hand, she paid attention to every little detail. From perfectly setting up everything up, making sure I had my drink before and after ceremony, making sure everything went perfectly smooth and even helped clean up after. Felt like she was my best friend- Love you girl! Since I am such a planner, my only regret was not being able to talk to ReAnn sooner. But they know what they are doing and I cannot think of a more magical location! Reviewed on 13-09-2019
Tessa Tomassini(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 21-06-2019 After falling in love with the venue, we were a little nervous to hear there was an exclusive caterer. Well, there was no need to fear because Kevin and his team were simply incredible! After meeting Kevin, there was zero hesitation. He is honest, kind, and helpful. The food was phenomenal, nearly every guest we talked to commented on how awesome it was and they appreciated the portion size too. You will be happy with the options provided, we had a lot of fun choosing the meal. When you book, you will most likely work with ReAnn (the catering sales manager). The first time I spoke with ReAnn, I felt the biggest sense of relief - she is AMAZING! She is compassionate, patient, and responsive. On the day of the wedding, she was very attentive and SO reassuring. ReAnn definitely made our wedding day a dream come true. Huge shout out to David, he was absolutely amazing!***Side Story: It down-poured the day of our wedding and cleared up right before our ceremony. From the moment I walked in ReAnn and David reassured me that the ceremony would be outside. It was my dream to get married with toes in the sand and they literally made it happen! I will be forever grateful to the entire team for their efforts that day and for making it possible. Reviewed on 15-07-2019

Alexandria Staves(bride)3 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 23-09-2016 The venue is small but very nice. One thing to note is that you have no choice in a caterer if you chose this venue. The catering company is okay at best. Kevin (the caterer) was very nice and detailed before he got our money, then seemed to disappear and to procrastinate on most things after we paid him. He was at the wedding for about 70% of it and left before it ended. The waitstaff is nice but did some things that were not warranted during the night, like give away part of the bridal party's cake, tell guests they can sit wherever they'd like to, not save any appetizers for the bridal party, etc. The fact you can't choose a caterer yourself is why I took 1 star off. The reason I took off the 2nd star was because the management is questionable. Wendy was the original manager when we booked our wedding there. Then, they switch managers to David. He was a very nice guy but was not nearly as accommodating as Wendy seemed to be. First off, Wendy reached out to us many times during the course of the time before the wedding. She tried to keep track of what other vendors we were using and describing certain details about the place. We were traveling from south Texas for our wedding there. So, she was helpful to us since we couldn't go there in person.On the other hand, David only reached out once to introduce himself. I was able to easily schedule both a tour and rehearsal with him via email though. He was prompt to get back to me. Once we got to the venue to take a tour, he didn't seem to care very much about showing us the place and we had to wait for him to arrive to unlock the building. Then, he called the night before the rehearsal to say he had to work at his other job and wouldn't be there for the rehearsal. He did however allow us to use the grounds that we could access without a key. He just overall seemed much less professional than Wendy. All of this was okay to deal with before the wedding. But, the day of the wedding, he apparently wasn't even there. That striked me as problematic because at the end of the evening there were a few issues that needed to be hashed out and couldn't be because neither him nor the caterer manager were in the building. I will say again, the venue is beautiful. The wedding turned out great. There was just issues with management that shouldn't have happened in the first place. Reviewed on 01-11-2016

Julie Tetreault(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 05-10-2014 I had my wedding ceremony in the church but my reception at the Beach Club. Fortunately for me the day beautifully sunny and 60 degrees. My inside wedding reception photos are beautiful with the ocean in the background. I had 100 people at my wedding which was the perfect size. They said up to 125 could fit but that would have been tight. We had the firepits and smores at night. They also allowed us to bring games to play on the beach (cornhole). It's a nice, intimate setting and picture perfect. This was the exact setting we were looking for.. laid back and beachy.
