The Claridge Hotel was the perfect venue to celebrate my wedding! The Claridge is elegant and full of charm. The staff at the Claridge went above and beyond! Jeff did a remarkable job! He was very helpful, accommodating, and was communicative, answering every question I had promptly. He was there for me every step of the way from the tour of the Claridge to my wedding day. Lance, the banquet manager, was phenomenal! He worked tirelessly the day of my wedding, ensuring that everything was in place and ran smoothly. He was so kind in helping me envision and bring about the wedding reception of my dreams, and also kept me organized by helping me create a timeline for the day of my wedding. Curtis did a fantastic job handling guest room bookings! He stayed in communication with me until the day of my wedding, accommodating requests with ease. The bridal assistant was amazing! She constantly checked on me and my husband and brought us whatever we needed. The waitstaff and bartenders at the Claridge provided outstanding service. It made me so happy to hear from so many of our wedding guests that our wedding was the best wedding they have ever attended.

My fiancé and I took our engagement photos at Resorts Casino and we had the best experience! We chose Resorts specifically for the nostalgic charm that the casino and grounds offer. Nancy, the events manager, kindly tended to all of our questions and needs before and during the shoot. She made sure we were escorted by security as she guided us to all the best spots around the casino and the rest of the building to take photos. She walked us through a beautiful ballroom to get to the balcony with an amazing view of the boardwalk and the famous Resorts sign to get incredible pictures. Lastly we were able to shoot in the lovely classic theater that we didn't even know existed and was perfect for the theme of our photos. There are a variety of options to choose from whether you're planing a wedding, engagement party, bridal shower, bachelorette party (which we saw while stayed there) or just taking photos like us. I definitely recommend Resorts Casino for an event during your wedding journey.

The Flanders is the BEST venue! We were sold from our initial tour and immediately booked with them. They are incredibly professional, warm, and a pleasure to work with. Their communication is transparent and quick. I emailed many times with questions as I thought of them and Molly was always so quick to respond. The venue itself is beautiful with multiple options for event flow and ceremony/reception spaces. The food is excellent and abundant. Our guests had nothing but compliments about our wedding and The Flanders itself. Lisa and Molly from the catering/events team are fabulous and pros at what they do. Joanne and the additional staff who coordinate service are incredible. We felt like we were in such good hands with Lisa, Molly, and Joanne, which helped us to feel calm and trust that everything would go well day-of, which it did. We loved our wedding here so much that we’d really like to attend another as guests! I’d give 10 out of 5 stars if I could.

We LOVED our experience with Avalon Yacht Club. From our very first interaction with the yacht club, Jarrod created a space where we wanted to spend time with our friends and family. Jarrod and the AYC team went above and beyond to work with any and all requests that we came up with, and Jarrod truly worked the day of our wedding to ensure it was what we envisioned. The food was INCREDIBLE! We were a little worried when we initially booked as we had never eaten at the yacht club before. Their crab cakes are some of the best we've ever had, and the passed appetizers were 15/10. The AYC worked with our guests that had food allergies (shellfish, egg, beef, vegan, celiac). I cannot recommend the AYC and working with Jarrod enough!!

We recently had our wedding at ICONA Diamond Beach, and everything was absolutely perfect! Honestly, the easiest part of the entire wedding planning process was working with their team. They made everything quick, easy, and efficient, and always responded promptly to any questions I had leading up to the big day. On the day of, they were incredible—every detail was handled seamlessly, and they continually checked in with my husband and me to make sure we were comfortable and happy. They even caught and handled a wedding crasher (which, in hindsight, makes for a fun story to tell!). The venue itself is stunning, the food was delicious, and the service was top-notch. From setup to cleanup, everything was taken care of—and they even had all of our items neatly packed and ready for us the next day. We are so glad we chose ICONA—it was actually the first venue we toured, and we knew right away it was the one. My husband and I met in Wildwood and have spent time at the ICONA bar, so getting married there felt like a dream come true. Phillip and Bree have the wedding process down to a science and were such a joy to work with. There’s so much flexibility to make the day your own, and the entire ICONA team went above and beyond to make our wedding unforgettable. We can’t speak highly enough of ICONA and can’t wait to return for anniversaries in the years to come!

Since Willow Creek opened in 2013, I've always said this would be the most beautiful venue for a wedding. 6.3.23 I had my wedding at Willow Creek and it was more perfect then I could have imagined it all those years. The venue is obviously stunning, getting the entire grounds on the whole day to take pictures gave us time to take the most amazing pictures. From the beautiful vineyards, to the owners love for colorful landscaping, wood beams, leather couches, imported chandeliers, and pops of color throughout, this venue offers picture perfect scenery no matter where you are on the property. It is also a short drive to the beach, where we had our first looks and then had the rest of our pictures at the winery. We rented their Rose Room for an hour or two which was a great spot for the wedding party to hang and everyone to freshen up before the ceremony. We had our ceremony at the wine tasting building, which definitely makes you timeline a lot tighter, but Willow Creek has preferred vendors that are experts in working with the wineries timelines and will make sure that everything is ready to go by your start time. Hamilton is absolutely amazing. She is a quick responder to all questions and is so pleasant to work with. She made the stressful process of wedding planning a lot easier. Our guest raved about the food (the beef wellington hors d'oeuvre was a crowd favorite). And the party favors that come with your package are little wine bottles, which of course, none were left behind. Bonus: it's pet friendly through cocktail hour so we had our pup in the wedding! Willow Creek is a dream wedding venue and you wont be disappointed working with them for your big day.

Our experience with the Collingswood Grand Ballroom was nothing short of phenomenal. From the moment we first spoke with Debbie, we were struck by her warm, funny, and clear communication style. She immediately put us at ease and made sure we had everything we needed to bring our wedding vision to life. The venue itself is simply stunning - the timeless, gorgeous decor created the perfect backdrop for our special day. Debbie and her team took care of all the details, allowing us to relax and soak in every moment. The highlight was our first dance, which was made even more magical by the beautiful setting. We trusted Debbie and the Collingswood Grand Ballroom completely, and they exceeded our expectations in every way. I still get goosebumps thinking about how special our wedding day was, thanks to the incredible team at this venue.

We loved The Merion from day one, and working with Michelle made the entire planning process smooth and stress-free. She was clear and informative every step of the way, answering our questions and keeping us on track. The venue itself is absolutely beautiful, with clean lines and an elegant atmosphere that made our guests feel special. What really impressed us was how seamlessly everything came together on the day—we were actually able to sit down and eat, which sounds simple but meant so much to us. The whole team worked like a well-oiled machine to make sure every detail was perfect. We couldn't have asked for a better experience, and we'd recommend The Merion to any couple looking for a stunning venue with outstanding service.
