North Captiva Island Club

nd his team were very helpful and accommodating. We like to be very organized, so we had a LOT of questions, but Jeff was always patient with ALL of my questions and he was very knowledgeable. The island itself is stunning, you can see dolphins, manatees, turtles, not to mention birds and butterflies everywhere. We recommend telling your friends and family to stay at least a couple of days before or after the wedding because it is so worth it. It is not the easiest place to get to, because it is an off bridged island and you have to take a ferry, but once you are there you don't want to leave. None of our guests had ever been to the island before and could not believe we found such an awesome place for a wedding. The ceremony location is right on the beach, it is very private and we had no random people around, it truly felt like we were the only ones there. The reception was held by the main poolside and it was just enough room for all of us (I don't recommend having more than 65 people there). We had a lot of additional decorations that had to be transported by ferry, however, the staff at the ferry office were helpful when loading our things and transporting them. Do plan on paying extra for all the shipping. The food was delicious, however, there were some small issues with the service itself. Guests were running out of water quick and servers were not refilling the glasses unless guests would ask. They forgot to serve cheese and crackers for during the cocktail hour, so a couple of our vegetarian friends were not able to eat anything, our vegetarian friend got chicken instead of the choice she asked for ( I must say that she did end up with a correct meal but she had to wait for a long time and everyone at her table has finished eating already), and finally they left all of our delicious cakes outside after the reception and they all went bad. I wish they would have saved it and gave it to us in the morning. But all of those small things didn't matter, because all and all, we enjoyed our experience so much, and it was the perfect location for a destination wedding.

s the helpful staff! Planning from our hometown St. Louis, MO I was a little worried, but Jeff Pence was always available & answered every email & in a timely manor. Our perfect day was absolutely amazing & we will definitely be returning! Thank you all again !

guests come with us, most of them stayed on the island and rented a house there. I definitely would recommend that, as it made things so easy. All of the staff on the island and resort were incredible. They were so friendly and they made you feel right at home. Even the owners of the house we stayed in sent us over a bottle of champagne to celebrate once they heard the bride and groom was staying in their house! Jeff, who coordinated our wedding was so helpful and eager to answer all of my questions. It's difficult and nerve wracking trying to plan your wedding so far away but Jeff made it so easy for us. I can honestly say there is nothing I would have changed about our entire Wedding. None of our guests had ever been to the island before and could not believe I found such an awesome place for a wedding. North Captiva Island truly is paradise! We are already planning our next vacation trip to the island!

etter venue that fit our needs so perfectly - low key and casual. Not to mention, incredibly affordable! The process of planning was made effortless by Jeff and his attentive and accomodating staff. I would recommend encouraging your guests to stay at least 5 nights to take advantage of everything the Island has to offer. We added additional decorations that had to be transported by ferry, however, the staff at the ferry office were extremely helpful when loading our things and transporting them. We had approximately 55 guests, which was perfect for the reception area size. The ceremony location was picturesque and beautiful, and the lovely staff worked extremely hard to set up everything to our specifications. The music and video setup was perfect for the dance portion, which turned into a great party! If you're not interested in doing a cake, which we weren't, I would recommend Lady Cakes Bakery in Cape Coral for the most delectable cupcakes ever! All and all, we enjoyed our experience immensely, and it was the perfect location for a low-key relaxing wedding!
