We had the absolute best experience hosting our wedding at Mallard Island Yacht Club. The venue is stunning and the team, led by Gianna, is simply unbelievable in their dedication and professionalism. Communication was a 10/10 - Gianna responded to every question almost immediately and kept us totally at ease during planning. The quality of their work and value is also 100/10. They are the hardest working team and truly made our wedding day perfect. I can't thank Gianna enough for running Mallard like a well-oiled machine and making our dreams come true with her attention to every last detail. She placed us at ease and I followed her every lead and recommendation and because of her worked with the greatest vendors in the wedding game! If you're looking for a fairytale venue with a team that will go the extra miles to make your vision a reality, Mallard Island Yacht Club is it!
