Brant Beach Yacht Club

ning a wedding miles away was a challenge but the team at BBYC and Touch of Elegance were so incredibly helpful and flexible with us. The night was truly flawless. The view of the bay was absolutely stunning and the sunset on the bay was the perfect backdrop for our night. Our guests couldn’t stop talking about how amazing the food was from Touch of Elegance—it was a huge hit! A special shoutout to Kim, our day-of coordinator, who went above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly. She took care of every detail and let us just enjoy the day. We couldn’t have asked for a better venue, team, or experience! Truly was an unforgettable day we will cherish for a lifetime. Thank you so much BBYC!

island. As soon as we walked in we knew BBYC was going to be where we got married. We loved that there were ceremony space options (beach and pavers) and a backup plan in case of inclement weather. The staff was extremely responsive to emails and willing to help in any way they could. The water views and sunset were absolutely perfect. Our guests were raving about the venue for weeks after the wedding. The catering partner, A Touch of Elegance, was also great. The food was amazing and planning was very easy! HIGHLY recommend BBYC for a true LBI wedding.

rovided by both the Yacht Club and Touch of Elegance Catering were exceptional. BBYC’s coordinator Delia was very friendly and responsive throughout the planning process. Touch of Elegance’s food was fantastic, and our guests were raving about the extended cocktail hour. Touch of Elegance even provided a day of coordinator, Kim, who was very efficient and helped us to have a stress-free experience. We highly recommend using Brant Beach Yacht Club as the setting for your big day!

me. We were fortunate enough to have good weather but liked that there was a backup plan just in case! We got a beautiful sunset over the bay and everyone took advantage of it for some lovely photos. We went with the preferred caterer- Touch of Elegance- and would definitely recommend! The food was plentiful and delicious (not just saying that because it was our wedding lol)- our guests are still telling us how good everything was. We used Touch of Elegance to stock the bar as well and it was super easy. Mike was able to get everything we asked for and the bartenders had no problems with our 3 different signature drinks. They kept the drinks flowing all night (and there was a lot of flow). Kelly and Delia from BBYC were super communicative and checked in regularly as we got closer to the big day. Kim from Touch of Elegance was our day-of coordinator and she was amazing! She made sure my husband and I stepped away and had some private time during cocktail hour. She left it up to us how long we stayed tucked away and she brought us all of the food from the cocktail hour to enjoy while refreshing our drinks. She had the entire day moving smoothly! I wish I could go back and do it all again!

l. The sunset over the bay? Straight out of a movie. The venue has this effortless coastal charm that made the whole day feel magical. The staff was on point—friendly, organized, and totally on top of everything. And let’s talk about the FOOD. Touch of Elegance absolutely crushed it! The cocktail hour was next-level—our raw bar was a total showstopper. Guests couldn’t stop raving about how fresh and delicious everything was. Dinner was equally amazing, and the service was seamless. We truly couldn’t have asked for a better team. If you're getting married on LBI, do yourself a favor and book Brant Beach Yacht Club and Touch of Elegance. It was the best day of our lives and they made it unforgettable!

appy hour, both for the drinks & the passed apps - from chicken and waffles, oysters Rockefeller, a raw bar & more it was a hit. The Staff: is amazing - we had one waitress come out ad start crying when I was about to walk down the aisle she was so cute & it makes you realize how kind and personally invested they are Kim & Kelly: We basically chose this venue after taking a walk-through with Kelly and seeing Kim setting up for a wedding - she was incredible, her setup seamless & even after dropping tons of stuff off on Thursday for her to set up she had no questions, set up everything the way I imagined and tended to me personally throughout the night. The Venue: In an ideal world I would have gotten married on the bay beach and had an incredible sunset like the LBI I know and love - but it poured, even with this, getting married on the deck was beautiful, the venue is so intimate and quaint we had around 125 guests and it felt like the perfect amount. I highly recommend this venue, I can't say enough great things about it. You won't regret it.

aring and helpful. Their caterer delivered delicious meals, and the bar did a great job managing all of our guests' needs. Our family was a member of this club for many years, so it was a lovely homecoming for us all. Highly recommend.

wedding date was approaching, it was evident there was communication issues among the staff and the caterer, which came to a head the week of our wedding. I can't say enough about Kim - she really did a great job to make our wedding stress-free. I would ultimately recommend this venue because it is one of a kind, just be organized and keep a log of all communications.

and the multiple outdoor spaces and beach area made for stunning photos. Kelly was amazing to work with and always helpful, organized, and accommodating. We also loved how they only host one wedding a day and we had the place to ourselves to get ready/take pictures etc. We had just over 100 guests and feel it was the perfect amount for the space. Touch of Elegance catering also exceeded expectations. Mike, Kim, and Joe were fantastic to work with and the food was plentiful and delicious. Everything went seamlessly and the team was extremely accommodating to any request. The team set up and broke down all decor, and thought of everything to make sure we had a stress-free and perfect day. Could not recommend more!

ing in LBI every year since before I was born. BBYC was a perfect venue for my idea of a coastal, relaxed NJ wedding. Kelly from BBYC was a pleasure to work with. She was super kind, very professional and was always happy to jump on a call to chat about any questions I had. Their exclusive catering although to this type A corporate girl appeared disorganized and lacked strong communication ended up working great in the end. All my guests loved the food and the quantity of it. We picked BBYC over other similar priced venues because of the flexible menu and BYOB component and the team was perfectly flexible in all our food choices. For example we ended up doing 2 seafood entree options and no beef. Kim the ToE day of coordinator was a dream and set up everything perfectly and truly went above and beyond to help my day run smoothly. I do wish I had met with her before the wedding weekend because she was organized and knew what she was doing. LESSONS LEARNED: 1) I had 122 guests = 14 tables and it was in my opinion a little cramped. I am not sure what my guests thought but I would be concerned if I had any more guests. 2) April 27th ended up being colder (55-59 degrees) and cloudy than expected (of course the day after was 75 and sunny) SO we did end up going with putting up the walls around the deck which I had never seen before. Although ugly I am glad we did it because guests were chilly after our beach ceremony. I would just tell anyone having a Spring wedding to be sure to note this is a strong possibility the walls costed extra money too. 3) I would have hired a third party bartender. Many guests including our parents explained afterwards the drinks were WAY too strong and basically were undrinkable. People in their 20s didn't care about this but I think some of our parents friends only sticked to wine and beer because of this. Our signature drinks were also super strong and didn't taste great. Obviously better than weak drinks but I prefer a crafted cocktail and probably should have hired a professional. 4)COCKTAIL HOUR FOOD: We landed on the Harbor dining package that comes with 12 passed apps at cocktail hour in addition to the cold appetizer table display. Our one splurge was adding the sushi table to the cocktail hour. The cold appetizer display was pretty whimpy and the sushi table was devoured and never really replenished. I do wish we did one more table at cocktail hour so these tables didn't look so whimpy together. Regardless many guests commented on the variety, quantity and quality of the food at cocktail hour so it did work out to be fine.

es the most stunning backdrop, especially with its mesmerizing sunsets. The staff is equally impressive, making the entire experience truly unforgettable. If you're in search of an exclusive wedding venue on LBI, look no further than BBYC—it's the ultimate LBI wedding venue!

taff went above & beyond from start to finish! Kelly, Kim, Michael, Joe etc. Kudos to you ALL! Our outstanding bartenders kept the drinks flowing all night long! Our guests still, till this day are talking about our Big Day and how delicious the food was! We would not have changed a thing! Cheers to 2024 & many more beautiful weddings at BBYC! Michelle & Allan Jackowicz

taff was helpful, kind, and organized. Everything at our reception went smoothly and our guests are still talking about how great the food, drinks, and music were! The night was perfect, the sunset was perfect, everything was perfect. We are so grateful that we chose the BBYC! :)

out beautiful! Kelly and Kim were amazing!!!! Kelly answered all our questions throughout the process and Kim helped us so much the day of our wedding! Joe from Touch of Elegance was INCREDIBLE to work with!!!! He was super knowledgeable and made everything perfect for us! We couldn't have asked for a better venue! All of our guests keep raving about our wonderful day and how great everyone was!

e’d dreamed of, the staff, food & service was amazing!!! Working with Kelly & the team at Touch of Elegance catering was amazing. They all made the day perfect & everything went seamlessly. I HIGHLY recommend !!!

venue is beautiful and the staff is unmatched! Kelly from the venue was so helpful and quick with any questions we had through our planning process. If we had any sort of concern she was on top of it! She had recommendations for how to make our day better and by letting her do her job everything was smooth sailing during planning! Joe, the caterer from Touch of Elegance is an absolute breeze to work with! Not only is his food OUT OF THIS WORLD but he is your biggest fan, ready to make anything and everything possible! His consistency in responding with “you got it!” Was comforting, never making any ounce of you feel stressed on how the day was going to run. His mater Dei, Kim is REMARKABLE! She was always right there when you needed her as if she was reading your mind. She checked in on us throughout our entire night and made us feel like royalty. Her handle of the room and all of our guests was impeccable. She decorated our venue exactly as we envisioned it and brought our day to life! We cannot thank The Brant Beach Yacht Club, Joe, Kim & Kelly enough!

go. Kim, our Maitre'd was amazing on the day of the wedding! She made sure we were taken care of and helped the day run so smoothly. BBYC's caterer, Touch of Elegance, was amazing! Joe's food is delicious and the hors d'oeuvres were s big hit! We couldn't have asked for a better venue on the water and everything about the day was spectacular! I highly recommend booking your wedding at BBYC. You won't regret it!

to worry about a thing. The waitstaff, employees, and everyone involved were so friendly and made all of our guests feel so welcomed and helped. I would have my wedding there over and over! It was such an intimate space. I can’t thank everyone at BBYC enough for making our wedding so special! 10/10!

ransitioned into an outdoor cocktail hour on the deck and pavers. Guests were taken back by all of the photo opps. This is the perfect place for a wedding, especially if you're looking for outside style (with a nice safe rain plan). The day went extremely smooth, and all of my vendors had worked on the space prior. Everyone knows everyone and makes the day go smooth.

ss and made the day of running so smoothly. The caterer, Touch of Elegance, also provides incredible food! The BBYC was the absolute best place to have our wedding!

reatened our dreams of an outdoor ceremony, but the YC team made it happen with very little stress to me. Joe helped us customize the timing, the format, and the menu items to ensure the event was uniquely ours. We chose the BBYC because of the location, the views, and the beach. The weather took most of that away for a while, but if I could do it all over again, I would still choose BBYC because of the accommodating and professional staff and the amazing food! Their space is customizable to the size of your group, and my guests all loved the opportunity to spend the weekend on LBI. I would highly recommend a wedding at the YC!

left. Everything was put exactly where I expected it to go. Every detail was spot on. The night was flawless. Antoine does a fabulous job making sure everything is done perfectly. He is so sweet and down to Earth. He makes your day run perfectly. After the wedding, everything was boxed up and cleaned waiting for us. As a whole, I strongly recommend BBYC for any wedding or event!

cancel our original wedding due to covid-19 restrictions and held our micro wedding with the Brant Beach Yacht Club. We planned an entire new wedding in about a month and it really was meant to be. We could not have asked for a better day , everything from the venue to the food to the employee’s was perfection and would not have asked for anything differently. Thank you to Christina and the Brant Beach Yacht Club for truly making our day perfect and unforgettable. I could not recommend BBYC enough!

to work with throughout the entire wedding planning process. Our guests raved about the incredible atmosphere and beachy vibe of BBYC. I would recommend this venue to anyone who wants to get married on LBI!

ion right inside. The whole venue has such a great flow to it that everyone transitioned from one event to the next effortlessly. The space is so beautiful that we didn’t feel a need to drive all over the island, we did our pictures right there. The Brant Beach Yacht Club is in prime location for SUNSET PICTURES. You will not be disappointed if you want the most amazing sunset photos. (Whether depending) Michael helped us out every step of the way. He answered all our questions, gave us some ideas, let us view the space a few times to get figure out layout. He was just awesome. We had 155 guests and we did use the commodores room. We put the photo booth in there as well and there was still room to spare! We can not recommend The Brant Beach Yacht Club enough!

here are so many options with the venue since there is the beach, back porch, and rooftop deck. Cocktail hour on the porch was a blast. Michael and staff are very laid back and had great recommendations for vendors in the area. The great relationships built with these local vendors make everything seamless and beautiful!

location. Thank you for everything you all did!!

the views it was all perfect. If you want to get married on LBI and have a beautiful venue with stunning views look no further.

awkin and my husband’s family has a house on Long Beach Island. We wanted a venue that was local, affordable, and could accommodate a large wedding. When I started researching I thought that BBYC was too good to be true! As soon as we visited shortly after our engagement, we knew it was the venue for us! It had everything we could have asked for and more! Breathtaking views, beautiful interior, and extremely helpful staff! Michael was so friendly, informative, and gave great recommendations for local vendors. They even let us pick a date during our tour and guaranteed to hold it for 10 days. We actually used the date we picked that day of the tour! When picking a wedding venue on Long Beach Island, weather is always a factor. Brant Beach Yacht Club was perfect because they had a guaranteed backup plan in case of inclement weather. This put my mind at ease, especially since our ceremony was scheduled to take place outside. I knew that I would have a backup option that would still be beautiful if it rained! Luckily the weather was great and we could have our ceremony on the pavers. However, it was a little cold and windy. We rented the side walls (which are clear) and still had a beautiful view of the sunset during cocktail hour on the back deck. All of our guests loved the views and the venue. The setup during cocktail hour and dinner is amazing. The dance floor accommodated all of our guests for a fun night of dancing! I am so thankful that my husband and I were able to have our wedding at the Brant Beach Yacht Club and we would definitely recommend it to anyone looking to have their wedding on Long Beach Island! It is a truly beautiful venue!!!

hat would have escaped me. Michael stayed in touch with me leading up to the wedding date and was accommodating with many requests/questions. The venue is breathtakingly gorgeous and had the perfect nautical elegance we were looking for. You can really transform the space into whatever you want it to be. Having the cocktail hour and sunset photos by the bay were perfect! Our guests loved it.

.

to work with all of our vendors. Even though it rained during my wedding, my guests were still able to admire the beautiful views of the water and island. Our guests did not want to leave once the wedding was over!!

r had a second doubt. From the very beginning with Michele to the weeks and days leading up to our wedding day, the yacht club staff was responsive and extremely helpful in ensuring our needs were met, down to every small detail. While we did have to use the commodores room for tables, we fit 180 guests comfortably. We would easily recommend Brant Beach Yacht Club to anyone looking to get married on Long Beach Island.

sts raved about the gorgeous venue, and it was a perfect and versatile location. Highly recommend!

t comes along with planning a wedding. We loved our evening and couldn't be happier with the memories of the night! Thank you so very much to Michele for helping us through all of the planning and keeping us organized. Everything was wonderful and the venue is perfect. It's amazing how you can transform this club into your own perfect place for your wedding! Highly recommended!

s provided more hurdles than we expected. BBYC made our dream a reality! We were able to use their private beach on the bay which allowed for the perfect setting for our ceremony! BBYC was also a great venue for our reception. We loved that they had outdoor space for cocktail hour and the rooftop for great views (we ended up with the best sunset pictures)! The staff at BBYC was super helpful throughout the process, especially considering I live 4 hours away in Virginia. They promptly answered all my questions (even sending specific measurements to help me plan my decorations). I could not be any happier with our venue choice!

ng chairs on the deck, I was sold! Michelle was a great person to work with and was super responsive with my many many questions. I did get ready at the club in the commodore room and it was wonderful to not have to worry about being late ;0) It is a beautiful club and offers spectacular views from every seat of the bay. I hope someone I know gets married there so I can go back!

ean, classic decor inside and ready for your vendors to step in and do their job. My caterer (Sweet Jenny's) loves using this space as it has a fantastic kitchen and space to work with. My guests raved about the venue, the view and the feel of the wedding. It's not a blank slate, but if you're looking to do a DIY type wedding, this is the venue for you. Absolutely fabulous and the staff is as friendly and helpful as can be.

ay it was nice to have a reliable contact person through the whole wedding planning process.

nator there is wonderful to work with.
