“Truly no words can capture how amazing our experience with Hotel LBI was. Exactly one month out from our wedding date, our original venue called to tell us they could no longer host our wedding. As fate would have it, Hotel LBI had our date available, and it ended up being the best thing to happen to us. From the very first panicked phone call to Donna, she turned what was a stressful time into a dream experience. She was so empathetic to our situation, willing to work with us, and up for the challenge of putting our wedding together in under 30 days. Every interaction was kind, professional, and encouraging. The entire planning process was seamless despite the time crunch we were in. She makes you feel like you’re the only and most important couple she is working with. We absolute love her!! On the day of, everything went better than we could have imagined. The venue was beautiful, the staff is amazing, and the food is great. The bridal assistant Leah is a super hero. She was by my side all day, with a fanny pack that always had whatever random item I found myself needing. Due to some happy tears, my make up smudged a bit. Not only did she race up to the room to grab my make up bag, she redid the area for me and saved the day. I also spilled espresso martini down my dress minutes before the ceremony, and she quickly got the stain out before I even had time to process it. Vinny our maître D was also there every second with a smile, drinks for us, and asking what we needed. They are truly the best of the best. Our only regret is not booking with Hotel LBI from the beginning. What started as a nightmare, turned into the best day of our lives thanks to Donna and the Hotel LBI staff. I will never forget them”
