What sold us was how customizable everything is…the large, beautiful venue gave us total freedom to make it our own. On the day of, the staff helped us with setup and breakdown, which took so much stress off our shoulders.

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 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!

The Ocean City Yacht Club, established in 1901, is rich in both history and tradition. We have one of the most active and competitive sailing programs in the Mid Atlantic region including bay and offshore racing. The 2023 season marks the 122nd year that the Ocean City Yacht Club (OCYC) has been in existence, an organization steeped in family values and tradition. The Club has a multitude of activities for members to enjoy: sunset meals on the bay, Saturday night theme parties, bridge, golf, fishing, and sailing/boating events. There are innumerable events to socialize with friends and meet new people. Members can also look forward to the continuation of philanthropic endeavors the Club has supported over the past years, such as Fishing for Kids in June and the OCYC foundation. These events demonstrate the Club’s commitment to worthwhile causes benefitting the community.

At the end of my wedding, someone said to me, "most weddings are boring, yours was fun." This is because the Ocean City Yacht Club does such a SPECTACULAR job at helping you have the best day ever. We held our ceremony in the tent to the side of the club, and it was beautiful. Afterwards, our guests congregated to the back deck where they enjoyed the unbelievable views of the Ocean City Bay as they sipped cocktails, enjoyed hors d'evours, and took photos on the water. Every family took their Christmas card photo because the backdrop of the bay in the early evening was so stunning. After entrances/speeches, we sat down for dinner, and the food was incredible. The club prides itself on the catering by Nobil caterers, and it DOES NOT DISAPPOINT. It goes far beyond what anyone expects from a wedding venue. After a great meal, half of our guests went back outside to continue enjoying the sunset on the bay and the other half of the began the dancing inside. Everybody was having a great time. Planning this wedding was a breeze because OCYC provided us with a list of vendors who all did a great job and knew the yacht club's timing, entrances, expectations, etc. Bill, who is the head chef AND somehow has the time to coordinate all of the weddings at the Yacht club, expertly explained what would and would not work to ensure that the day ran smoothly. An added bonus is that the yacht club allows the bridal party to get ready upstairs, which is a beautiful space with a porch that opens up to the water. No one would ever guess this, but the Ocean City Yacht Club is a surprisingly budget-friendly venue. My parent's friends asked if we spent 100,000 on this wedding, and it was definitely no where close to that. This venue is BYOB (meaning you can hire bartenders and serve your guests liquor, but the yacht club does not specifically provide the alcohol). This cut costs down tremendously compared to other similar venues. This wedding location is a hidden gem in Ocean City, and we had the perfect day!

The Flanders was a wonderful experience from start to finish!! We got married on New Year’s Eve and we will not be able to top any NYE to follow! Lisa and Molly were so great to work with! Molly was great with communicating all the details and answering all our questions! Lisa walked us through everything from food to table settings to order of the night. The food was PHENOMENAL! Everyone raved and still raves about the variety of food, the quality, the cocktail hour and ending the night with Taste of the Boardwalk. If you go hungry, it’s your own fault! The service there was second to none. Joanne and her staff were wonderful and were always anticipating our thoughts. We stayed at Flanders during that weekend. The Promenade suites made it so easy to get ready and access the Ballrooms. Our guests and bridal party stayed in the regular suites and loved each room! Highly recommend going with their list of recommended vendors, it makes everything so much easier. Getting married at The Flanders was always my dream and I cannot recommend it more to others!!

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.

The Bogan family has been a staple of New Jersey’s oceanfront since founding Bogan’s Basin in 1930, where they docked their fishing fleet. In 1988, they introduced the River Queen, a custom-built Mississippi Riverboat replica crafted to blend 19th-century charm with modern luxury. Featuring climate-controlled cabins, mahogany floors, oak paneling, two bars, three outdoor decks, and stunning views of the Manasquan River, Point Pleasant Canal, and Barnegat Bay, the River Queen offers an unparalleled experience. Now run by the family’s fifth generation, Bogan’s Basin began river cruises to immerse guests in the region’s beauty and history. The River Queen has since hosted thousands of private events, from weddings to public cruises, with a team of dedicated captains, crew, and vendors ensuring every event is seamless. Combining timeless elegance with exceptional service, the River Queen continues to enchant guests and uphold the Bogan family’s tradition of excellence.

My wedding at Bishop farmstead was nothing short of perfection. The food, the space, and the details were all nailed down to a T. Our wedding planners Gina & Kayla made sure this day from the first day of planning to the big day met and exceeded all of my expectations. They ensured everything looked perfect as well as ran so so smoothly. They worked with our budget and responded so quickly to every question. They went above and beyond to create a magical day that we will NEVER forget. I wouldn’t change a single thing.

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.

As someone who knew a traditional banquet hall wasn't the right fit for us, The Herbary was everything we hoped for. Our ceremony was tucked away in the woods surrounded by trees and flowers and our reception was under their tented patio. The entire property is so gorgeous and peaceful, and the staff was super friendly and accommodating. Some of our guests told us it was their favorite wedding they've ever been to. We couldn't be happier with our choice. Highly recommend!

We fell in LOVE with Johnson’s Locust Hall Farm from the moment we drove in! It was one of the first venues we saw and we knew we wouldn’t have to look any further. It’s an absolutely beautiful farm filled with sunflowers and wildflowers. We absolutely loved getting ready in the wonderful farm house estate right on the venue. Leading up to the wedding, Avery and the Johnson Locust Hall Farm family had great communication and were very accommodating. The day of the wedding, we literally had to worry about NOTHING. They took care of everything and they had everything planned out to a T. The cocktail hour was spectacular in the stone barn and the reception was amazing in the breezeway barn. We are SO over the moon to have gotten married here. We are so happy that we can also visit again during the fall and spring during their events & farm activities which makes it so special that we could see this gorgeous venue again. HIGHLY recommend.
