TLDR Fantastic day of coordinator and staff Food is still being raved about Dry town doesn't mean dry wedding Add the Pent House for getting ready and night after Amazing value perfect for 50-70 guests I truly can not say enough nice things about the port o call hotel and staff. We had a beautiful wedding on the beach and then came into the hotel for the reception. The views from the dinning room are amazing. K (Food and beverage manager/day of coordinator) was absolutely amazing to work with. I could always reach him when needed and he made the entire event run smoothly. He even helped to fix a few last minute disasters due to my lack of planning. The servers Savannah, Sierra, and Sarah were so attentive. No one ever had an empty plate or glass. The appatizers just kept coming. We did the pasta station for cocktail hour and it was such a hit. Guests kept going up for kids and no one panic ate. Usually wedding food is kind of meh. We did a tasting with my mom and MOH and when I tasted the steak... Oh my gosh I was day dreaming about it. So many guest raved an raved about the food. They were accommodating of gluten free, allergies, vegan/vegetarian guests. The girls even remembered peoples preferences from breakfast the morning before. All of my guests felt special and pampered. The port o call delivered that resort wedding feel that I was hoping for. If you're considering Ocean City NJ for your wedding I 10000% say pick here!! My pro tip is add the Pent house. We had so much room for getting ready and having breakfast. Even my videographer was impressed. He said this was the best getting ready space he'd ever seen. Multiple bathrooms a kitchen just made everything so much less cramped and we had a good stress free flow. The night after it was so romantic to sit on the porch and then get cozy by the fire. Im so so glad we added it on and plan to return for anniversaries.

We had our wedding at the Flanders, and they did an incredible job! The hotel is a gorgeous venue for weddings, and from our first tour it stood out as a unique location that would look great in our photos. The food was excellent; we especially enjoyed the dim sum station at our cocktail hour. Our guests gave rave reviews about their meals. Lisa and Molly were great coordinators who assured us throughout the whole planning process that everything would go smoothly - and then made it happen! Being an obsessive planner myself, and doing all my decorations myself, I put together a binder of my plans for how each piece should be displayed. Lisa and Molly took that with grace, asked questions where needed, and made it happen! Joanne was an amazing maitre d' who anticipated our every need. She ensured that the day went perfectly, starting with the moment we walked down the aisle and she gave us some hints for scoring the best photos. She had also clearly read our binder. I was especially impressed when we came out of our ceremony and she had a platter of drinks ready for us and our wedding party while the marriage certificates were being signed. She was able to make a lighting change in one of our decorations happen while we were decompressing after the ceremony. During our Farewell Breakfast the next day, she coordinated packing away our homemade decorations, allowing us to enjoy the event without stress. Overall, the day went perfectly. It really is true that the best-laid plans will only succeed with a good team, and I feel strongly that we made an excellent choice in trusting this team for our wedding.

I know what you’re thinking — isn’t that a restaurant? It is, but it’s also one of the most amazing wedding venues you could ever dream of. From the very first meeting, you’ll work with Judy, the event manager, and let me tell you, she is a true rockstar. Judy doesn’t just help plan your day; she makes the impossible possible. Every idea I threw her way, no matter how out-of-the-box, she brought to life. I wanted a roaming cannoli bar — I got it. I wanted drinks served out of a canoe and a freshly shucked oyster bar — I got those too. Nothing was too big, too small, or too complicated for her. She is hands down one of the hardest-working, most detail-oriented people you will ever meet. The food? Absolutely phenomenal. It wasn’t just your standard “wedding food” — it was fresh, flavorful, and truly unique to the Deauville experience. Weeks later, our guests are still raving about how it was some of the best food they’ve ever had at a wedding. And the location itself? Unmatched. There’s something so magical about being right on the water — it feels both relaxed and elegant at the same time. When I first toured, Judy told me, “The night will already be memorable because of the location.” She couldn’t have been more right. Between the setting sun, the ocean breeze, and the warm glow of the venue, it was beyond anything I could have imagined. It was, without a doubt, the most amazing venue we could have ever chosen. 10/10 recommend — if you’re even considering it, stop thinking and just book it.

Oh my goodness where do I begin?! The experience of having our wedding at Resorts Casino has been nothing short of amazing. Nancy is an absolute treasure and pleasure to work with from start to finish. With the help of Anthony they turned our magical day into an absolute dream that not only we enjoyed but all of our guest. We had a serious loss in our family two months before our wedding and Nancy took a lot of weight off of our shoulders and came up with solutions to help us get through the day. Nancy and he team are there for you every step of the way and make you feel like royalty, treating you like gold. In a historic place like Resorts casino is a great place to have a wedding for not only the old school Atlantic City feel but the food and hospitality is out of this world. The chef created food that had our family and friends talking days after the wedding. We will forever have this wonderful memory of our wedding day and it is all because of Nancy, Anthony, and Resorts Casino for making our dreams come true. There is a true love for them all!

The moment I saw Bohemia Overlook, I knew it was the Wedding venue for us. The Venue is affordable and offers a good amount of accommodations that other venues do not and would cost extra even. The little things do matter, it adds up as we all know. The Venue kept in great contact with me and responded to me right away with questions I had through the whole experience and worked with me. Such a beautiful Venue. Was nervous when I found out a new owner took over, but realized quickly I didn’t need to be. The new owners kept up with the same pace of communication and response time and even on our Wedding day they greeted us and made sure everything was going good. We even got a beautiful view of the water on the hill for some wedding photos. My Wife and I enjoy coming here for different events and the wine room when it’s open. This place will forever be a cherished memory and not everyone can say that they can go back to where they got married. So much more to say about this place, but without going on a rant, just know this place is amazing. To even include how beautiful the barn looks upstairs at night, wasn’t expecting that since we usually see it during the day.

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!

CCC has been so easy to work with and we couldn’t be more excited to have CCC host our wedding in January 2021! Natasha the Events & Dining Director has always kept open (And fast!) communication and has a real understanding of the experience we hope for! Chef didn’t wince once we submitted a request for a special 5 course wine dinner for our reception. He took our ideas and truly made our tasting experience at the club wonderful. I know our family and friends will be over the moon when they see how the club will pull everything together.

We had the Perfect Night Before Party at Nektar! We had the first floor complete with Balcony the Thursday before Memorial Day. 43 guests. Everyone commented about the incredible food - that just flowed. Portabello fried mushrooms- truffle French fries- meatball sliders- scallops- lobster buns- short ribs with mashed potatoes. Amazing!!! People mingled and made connections. It was so much fun. It wasn't stiff- people got up and moved around. The drinks were delicious- and a wonderful desert tray to end the night. Caelin Murphy and her team are a knockout. So easy to work with - friendly and accommodating. It's a pretty place that has wonderful food and you can look out over the balcony into the town. I highly recommend booking this venue- you will not be disappointed! I would give Nektar a million star review. It was a fabulous night!
