“My daughter just recently got married at Icona Diamond Beach. I don't even know where to begin. I can't even find the words to say how amazing EVERYTHING was from the first tour to the morning after. Phil and Bree and their staff did everything and so much more to make sure it was the perfect day. They had everything organized and under control down to the last detail! Our wedding was in the Grand tent on the beach and they made sure outsiders didn't intrude. Everything was beautiful! They accommodated everything we asked for, setting everything up perfectly the way we visioned....the patience..... I could go on for days. The Spalon and Aloha Rooms are a great add on option, and beautifully maintained! My dad is 74, has been to many, many weddings including mine....and he has repeatedly said it is the best wedding he has ever been to! Phil and Bree are extremely organized and a well oiled machine! The staff was friendly, the food was delicious! I could go on for days. They truly made this the best day of all of our lives!”

“I recently got married at the Chalfonte Hotel this past June. It was the most magical day. From the serene beauty of the Willow Tree garden to the simple elegance of the Magnolia Room, everything about the day was perfect. Of course, everyone loved having cocktail hour on the porch, which is personally my favorite part of the hotel. Even before and after the wedding family and friends loved getting together on the porch, having a cocktail, and just enjoying Cape May. I cannot begin to express how kind and amazing the staff are at the Chalfonte. Planning a wedding can definitely feel overwhelming but Ellie was so helpful and communicative every step of the way. Any ideas that we had about how we wanted the day to go she was so receptive to. She made sure that everything we had envisioned was there on our wedding day. If you want a wedding somewhere that is naturally beautiful, fun, and perfectly located, I highly recommend booking you wedding at the Chalfonte Hotel.”

“I cannot say enough amazing things about the Inn of Cape May and our experience having our wedding there. From the very beginning, the entire team made the process feel so easy and stress-free, but Jeri Anne truly went above and beyond to make our wedding day everything we dreamed it would be. Jeri Anne was absolutely fantastic. She took care of every detail, answered all of my questions, and made sure everything came together exactly how I pictured it. Being able to drop off our wedding items ahead of time was such a huge help, and knowing that Jeri Anne and her team were handling everything gave me so much peace of mind. When I walked into the reception space and saw everything set up so beautifully, it was truly better than I imagined. The staff at the Inn of Cape May was also incredible. Every person we interacted with was kind, accommodating, and genuinely wanted to make our day special. They made our guests feel welcomed and taken care of, and their attention to detail did not go unnoticed. Our wedding day was everything we hoped for, and so much of that was because of the amazing team at the Inn of Cape May. We are so grateful to Jeri Anne and everyone who helped make our wedding day so unforgettable. I would recommend the Inn of Cape May to any couple looking for a beautiful venue with a team that truly cares about their couples. For reference we had 86 people, the cocktail hour, and ballroom were the perfect size, and we had room for lots of dancing in the ballroom.”

“This was a dream wedding venue and team. We held cocktail hour upstairs, dinner and dancing under the beautiful tent! Alyssa was an absolute pleasure to work with! She always had the calmest, positive and open delivery throughout each step of a stressful wedding process. She made the process much easier and really worked with us to address all of our questions and needs throughout the year of planning. During our last visit, Alyssa had the best ideas for design and layout. These ideas really made our photos stand out. The chef, Joey, was truly unbelievable. All of our guests said best food at a wedding and better yet, best food in general! Both Joey and Alyssa were so helpful coming up with interesting menu ideas. The staff- every single bartender and waiter was on it! No cup was empty, no one was waiting on their food, all allergies were correctly listened to. Not only was the service amazing, but they all were happy to be there, adding positive energy to our big day. I can't recommend Alyssa and her team enough! Thank you!!! XO”

“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.”

“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!!”
