Bellevue Hall features stylish dining rooms, elaborate marble fireplaces, a sophisticated wood-paneled library, and an enormous central foyer with a grand staircase. Celebrate your happy occasion at Bellevue Hall. It’s sure to be a memorable event!

We had an excellent experience with JAM Catering. The food was fresh and delicious, and the tasting helped us confidently choose our menu. Our guests were highly impressed with the food quality. Madeline Sader, our event coordinator, was fantastic to work with—fun, patient, and incredibly knowledgeable. She guided us through the planning process smoothly, always quick to respond and offer helpful suggestions. Her expertise really showed, and she made the entire experience enjoyable. Bellevue Hall is a standout venue with a distinctive charm. The spacious bridal and groom’s suites, along with access to the mansion, grounds, and permanent reception tent, provide ample space and a picturesque setting. It offers the feel of a destination wedding without the need for travel. We could also do several walk-throughs at Bellevue Hall, and JAM Catering’s optional upgrades for linens, tables, and décor were a great way to customize the space. We added fun extras like a BBQ station, a pretzel jar, and a gelato cart, which were big hits with our guests. The staff on the day of the event was excellent. They kept everything running on time, which allowed us to relax and enjoy the day without worrying about the schedule. The service during the event was attentive and efficient, ensuring everything went smoothly for us and our guests. Overall, JAM Catering delivered on both quality and service, and we’re very happy with how everything turned out. We recommend them to anyone looking to elevate their event with great food and professional service.

Hy husband and I were married at Lighthouse Sound on September 8th. To say that our day was perfect would be an understatement. Here is our review… The Space: We continue to have our guests tell us that this was the most beautiful wedding venue they have ever seen even months after our wedding. Our ceremony took place in the gazebo, cocktail hour on the patio, and reception in the tent (rented from Coastal Tented Events). All with incredible water views, cooling breezes, and great light. We were blessed with amazing weather, but also loved the indoor backup plan. The Staff: During the planning process, we worked with incredible coordinators. Shellie and Rose were THE BEST to work with. They were willing and excited to answer my one million questions the months leading up to the wedding. Shellie communicated with our other vendors and gave recommendations every step of the way. Their day-of coordination was SPOT ON. They made sure every decoration, floral arrangement, sign, etc. was perfect and that the entire schedule of the day ran smoothly. The wonderful bartenders and servers provided outstanding service for my husband and I and all of our guests. The drinks were great and the food was incredible. Which brings me to the food… The Food: We loved how many options were available when selecting our menu… dinner tiers, plated or buffet style, hors d’oeuvres, and desserts. Having the catering done in house was so helpful and made our planning process easier. The Golf: My husband loves to golf! He enjoyed playing the course on the morning of our wedding (he got one foursome for free). The pro shop was happy to help with scheduling tee times for his groomsmen and our other family members that played as well. He said this is one of his favorite courses he has ever played! We cannot recommend Lighthouse Sound more. We had the most incredible wedding and credit so much of that to the wonderful people and experience Lighthouse Sound. We can’t wait to come back for more meals and golf next time we are in town.

Situated on the Isle of Wight Bay, the Ocean Pines Yacht Club features a spacious second-story ballroom with hardwood floors, separate groom and bridal suites, a private bar, and stunning view of the Ocean City skyline. The large outdoor patio is perfect for waterfront ceremonies.

The Ocean Pines Yacht Club made my dream wedding come true. Lia was a true rockstar! The staff was professional and attentive. The food and drink was great. The bridal suite was perfect for my girls and I to get ready. The only nit-picking thing I would say was that the filet mignon temperatures were very uneven. Yet, one person told me that the crabcake was the best they ever had.

Willow Creek Farm & Winery

Cape May, NJ
  • Up to 350 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $26,925

Picture yourself among sweeping rows of grapevines as our vineyard vistas provide the perfect backdrop for your wedding day. Our team of event specialists work seamlessly with you to create your perfect wedding – one that is both unique and memorable. From a rustic Cape May beach wedding to an opulent affair, Willow Creek does it all flawlessly. Our wedding packages can include such amenities as horse-drawn carriages for grand entrances and exits, exceptional culinary menus, a 12,000 sq. ft. Grand Tasting Room to host your rehearsal dinner or wedding reception, and even boutique hotel accommodations for the wedding party at our sister property in Cape May, The Southern Mansion or our newly renovated AirBnb properties. Want photo ops? From scenic vineyard vistas to lush landscaped gardens to our unique life-sized Alice in Wonderland fantasy chessboard, we have them in abundance to make your wedding a truly magical experience.

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.

I can't put into words the experience of working with Annemarie and Jim. They were great communicators from start to finish. We went to the first open house last fall and decided to book for March 2024. It gave us 6 months of planning, and as stressful as it was, the easiest part was working with Annemarie to plan it all. The venue is beautiful and the house is perfect and Annemarie makes sure to make you feel so special and heard throughout the process. All my guests raved about the venue and all said "if this was around when I got married, I would have picked this place". Truly a beautiful experience from beginning to end.
