Greate Bay Country Club was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. Their communication style was organized, thorough, and professional throughout the entire planning process. The quality of their work and overall value was exceptional - the venue was clean, beautiful, and incredibly well-kept. On our special day, the venue looked absolutely gorgeous, and the staff, led by the amazing Danielle, were 5 steps ahead of us the entire time, keeping us on track. The day after the wedding, the venue staff had already organized all of our belongings together, making it super easy for us to pick everything up. And our guests raved about the delicious food! I would highly recommend Greate Bay Country Club to any couple looking for a stunning, stress-free wedding venue.

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!

If you’re thinking about booking The Atlantis Ballroom as your venue, DO IT!!!! I literally cannot recommend them enough. LONG story short, we were two days away from our wedding and got a call our venue could no longer accommodate us. Realizing we had no time to panic and had to figure something out, my (now) husband suggested that we check out the Atlantis Ballroom because he’s been to several events there and they had always been nice. Not only were they able to make an entire wedding happen in just TWO DAYS notice, but they went above and beyond! Everyone we dealt with was so friendly. The food was AMAZING. Our cake was so cute! Literally everything was better than perfection. They had a huge supply of decorations/colors/etc. that we were able to pick for them to use to decorate the ballroom and for the cocktail hour. They also used some of our own stuff at our request since I already worked so hard on it. They were able to accommodate every single person who had a dietary restriction (keto, GF, allergies). We got married 3 months ago and every time I see anyone that was at our wedding, they rave about how it was the best and most fun wedding they ever went to! We wouldn’t have been able to do it without Jen and everyone else at The Atlantis Ballroom. There’s no way you’ll be disappointed in your choice by going with The Atlantis Ballroom for any of your events! I know I’ll definitely host any of my events there and I recommend to everyone I know. Thank you again for making our wedding the most magical day

Welcome to LBI National Golf & Resort, where you can immerse yourself in the experience of nearly 200 acres of meticulously maintained and reimagined golf, accompanied by a memorable type of hospitality culture.

Our 35,000-square-foot clubhouse serves as the heart of our resort, featuring a variety of amenities including restaurants, a pro shop, outdoor spaces, and an incredible view of the Atlantic City skyline.

I don’t even know where to begin! Our wedding was 5/18/25 but we planned it for over a year and a half. From the beginning, Stephanie was so warming and really drew us into the beautiful venue as it was still under renovation. She made the booking process so simple and showed us nothing but kindness. In the midst of the waiting period of planning, Caitlin became the new venue coordinator who was our go to girl for everything. Anything I threw at her, wanted to change, or was concerned about, Caitlin handled with happiness and ease. She answered a million and one emails from me, met with me multiple times and really helped my vision come to life. I can’t say enough about her because Caitlin really did run the show from the moment we began working together to the very end of our wedding weekend. She helped plan and organize our rehearsal dinner, morning after brunch, and stuck by our sides from the morning of our wedding to the end of our after party (at 2 am the following morning). She was involved in every single step of the decorating and events that took place on our wedding day and I don’t know how would it have all been executed without her. Caitlin is the real MVP of our wedding and I can’t thank her enough for all of the help and kindness she showed toward myself, my husband, and our families. Like I said, anything I threw at her, she handled and took care of with a smile. She really is the best The rest of the staff, Scott, Maddie, and Avery were amazing during our wedding weekend as well. Scott was so kind and helped my family in any way possible with the room bookings and Maddie and Avery also stuck aside mine and my husband’s side to make sure we were okay throughout the day. The staff was all in all, so attentive, kind, and helpful throughout the entire wedding day. Anything we needed, they were all there to help. As far as the wedding, guests are still raving about how beautiful the grounds were and how delicious all of the food was. The bartenders and servers were all so amazing as well. I cannot recommend and thank everybody at LBI National enough for the most amazing wedding day we could have.

The Shore Club was a cost-effective choice for our wedding venue. The communication with their event coordinator was direct, easy and quick, making planning straightforward. While the venue itself is dated with a basic design, we felt it was a good value for the price. The simple layout allowed us to decorate the space and make it our own for the big day. Guests commented that they enjoyed the food. We had about 170 people in their large ballroom and it was packed. I wouldn’t recommended for parties closer to 200, unless able to max out all tables at 10-12 guests. For couples looking for an affordable venue option without too many frills, The Shore Club offers convenience and practicality.

From the second we inquired about having our wedding at Johnson’s Locust Hall Farm, everyone a part of this amazing team/family was extremely responsive. Planning a wedding states away, while also in the process of moving is not an easy task, but the staff at the farm made everything seamless down to every little detail. Our wedding day was truly perfect and we cannot ever thank Johnson’s Locust Hall Farm enough for that. Not to mention, if you can get your floral arrangements done by their amazing team, you will not be disappointed. Allie has true talent and saw my vision immediately. All of my flowers were AMAZING. Including the small, but sentimental detail of a part of my mom’s wedding dress around the base. If you want a venue that treats you like a part of their family, this is the place to book. Thank you to everyone at Johnson’s Locust Hall Farm who gave us the wedding of our dreams!

We are getting married at the Bishop Farmstead in Southampton NJ with Jeffrey Miller Catering this Saturday!!!!! We chose this venue for the historic barn, presentation partnership, and catering through JAM Catering. The main event space is a big beautiful red barn with an outdoor area and lower level for cocktail hour. The stairs in the main barn were a key feature to our choosing this venue for our wedding as they provide a great background for pictures and a grand entrance to the reception space. They lead to a second floor which is the main barn area for dinner. The venue also houses a historic farmhouse built in the 1750s by a second-generation Quaker farmer and is now home to a nature preserve.

From our tour to booking our wedding date, to the countless emails to our tasting and final to our wedding day, the staff at Jumping Brook Country Club exceed our expectations and went above and beyond to make our wedding day unforgettable. Jordan, who is the Catering Sales Manager, but was also our point of contact at the venue was so easy to work with, super professional and kind throughout the whole wedding planning process. She went above and beyond and managed to resolve the small hiccups in the beginning of the process. However, Jordan isn't just a catering sales manager, she's your biggest cheerleader throughout your whole wedding process and in the end became a really good friend. The rest of the staff including Lady, the Maitre D' and Diamond, the Bridal Assistant truly made the day of our wedding special. Whenever my bridesmaids and I needed something, Diamond was right there to help us. Throughout the day Lady was there making sure everything ran smoothly and also, most importantly ran us out food from our cocktail hour while we were taking pictures and let me tell you, what a lifesaver as my husband and I were both starving! Truly from our tour to the end of our wedding night, Jumping Brook made our wedding stress free. The staff made sure not only we were taken care of but felt cared for and that was truly special and something we will both take with us and remember from our wedding day. Also, the food (and wine too) are amazing! Compliments to the chef because not only did we have an amazing tasting but everything food wise during our cocktail hour and reception tasted so good! We love everyone so much at Jumping Brook and thank you for helping make our wedding day unforgettable.

The Maitre De went missing a lot throughout the day, to the point where my uncle had to find her whenever i needed. They set up & cleaned everything up for us which was lovely. the hotel bar stayed open late (sunday wedding) but you couldn’t make it private. so you had people at the bar trying to add to an open tab. you get a room block, the director of rooms Rebecca is very easy to work with as well. the outdoor ceremony space is gorgeous!!!

The food is amazing, which was seen at the mock wedding tasting (this is great so you can see that they have quality food). They hold only one event at a time, making your day their focus. The main room has great acoustics and the staff are so attentive to all the details. Lisa was our maitre'd and she was truly to definition of professional.

When my husband and I were looking for wedding venues, we were very specify on what we wanted. We really wanted something outdoors for the ceremony and a beautiful reception hall that did not give off that "Ballroom" look. We hated chandeliers and let me tell you, it was difficult to find a venue in NJ without a chandelier. When we first toured Blue Heron Pines, we instantly fell in love. We immediately knew that this was the spot we wanted to get married in. It was exactly what we wanted but the only hesitation we had was that our family lived about an hour away from it. After going back an forth about it, we decided to book it and that was the best decision we have ever made. It turns out that the people that truly love you will make that trip for you because everyone on our guest list came to our wedding! All the employees at Blue Heron were extremely helpful and super nice. Sarah and Tara are amazing at keeping the bride calm throughout the whole process, from booking the venue, down to the day after the wedding. Our wedding day was perfect, thanks to Blue Heron Pines and their amazing staff. I HIGHLY recommend having your wedding at Blue Heron. They will definitely not disappoint!

What Types of Wedding Venues Can You Find in New Jersey?
