Brant Beach Yacht Club

Brant Beach Yacht Club was phenomenal - we could not have asked for a more perfect venue for our beach wedding. We were lucky enough to have perfect weather and a beautiful sunset, 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!

You can't beat a BBYC wedding venue if you want you want to get married in LBI!! This venue is such a hidden gem. Similar to probably many LBI Brides, my family has been vacationing 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.

After all the weddings we've worked at the Brant Beach Yacht Club, at Enchanted Celebrations, we continue to be impressed every single time. The breathtaking view of the bay provides 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!

Late review, but better late than never, right! My husband Allan & I were married at BBYC on 9-15-23! It was a picture-perfect day! The venue was absolutely beautiful, and the staff 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

My husband Zachary and I had our wedding reception at the Brant Beach Yacht Club on September 22, 2023 and everything was truly perfect. Throughout the planning process, the BBYC staff 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! :)

We had our wedding at BBYC on September 23, 2023 during a stormy Noreaster, however everything was perfect (despite the weather). We had our ceremony on the deck which still turned 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!

We had our wedding at BBYC on May 7, 2023 & it was everything we’d hoped for & more!! It truly was a magical day , not only was it the perfect venue setting for the beach wedding we’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 !!!

As an LBI lover from being a little girl, this wedding venue is exactly what any NJ Beach bride would ever want! You feel like your at a destination without getting on a plane. The 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!

Our wedding at BBYC was incredible! We had the best day ever and everyone working was so friendly and helpful! Kelly helped us book the venue and made sure everything was ready to 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!

We had an absolutely beautiful wedding at Brant Beach Yacht Club! It was everything we could have dreamed of and more! Kim, our Maitre d’ was an Angel! She made it so I didn’t have 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!

Brant Beach Yacht Club is stunning. The views are breathtaking, the ambience is the perfect blend of nautical & traditional style. I had my ceremony outside on the bay beach, and transitioned 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.

The Brant Beach Yacht Club was the perfect place for our wedding! It is such a beautiful venue and has the most amazing staff! They were so helpful during the entire planning process 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!

We loved working with Antoine and Touch of Elegance's team to make our big day special, personal, and unique. The communication throughout the process was on point! The weather threatened 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!

The Brant Beach yacht club did a phenomenal job with our wedding! They exceeded our expectations by far. From the beginning of the day when we brought out stuff in boxes to when we 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!

Brant Beach Yacht Club was everything we had hope for and more! Christina was absolute dream to work with and available at all times for any questions/ needs that we had. We had to 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!

BBYC was the perfect venue choice for our wedding. It offers the most incredible bay views and sunsets the island has to offer. The staff- Mike in particular- was such a pleasure 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!

The Brant Beach Yacht Club was absolutely perfect for our early November wedding. We did everything right on site. Ceremony was on the pavers, cocktail hour on the deck, and reception 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!

I was floored at how amazing our wedding this past weekend was!!! This venue is so beautiful and perfect for getting married with your toes in the sand and the sunset behind you. There 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!

Unbelievable venue!! Was such a dream come true and they made our wedding process so easy. All of our guests can’t stop talking about how beautiful the venue was and the incredible location. Thank you for everything you all did!!

We were recently married at the Brant Beach Yacht Club and is was amazing. Michael was awesome to work with. Professional and very accommodating. The room is exceptional. The size, 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.

My husband and I got married at the Brant Beach Yacht Club in October of 2018. We were so thrilled to be able to have the BBYC for our ceremony and reception!! I grew up in Manahawkin 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!!!

The staff at the BBYC is phenomenal. Antoine helped at our rehearsal and on the day of the wedding, going so far as to fix my train before I walked out and handling small details that 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.

such a beautiful venue. Michael was so helpful, accommodating, and responsive to all of our questions and requests. He went above and beyond to help ensure it was the best day ever.

My husband and I were married here, and it was our favorite decision. Mike was beyond courteous and helpful leading up and during the wedding. He was flexible and more than willing 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!!

In our opinion, Brant Beach Yacht Club has the the most beautiful view on Long Beach Island, specifically because of their sunsets. After booking this venue for our wedding we never 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.

My husband and I were thrilled with our wedding at BBYC. The staff (especially Michele and Xavier) were extremely helpful and friendly, and let us customise everything. All our guests raved about the gorgeous venue, and it was a perfect and versatile location. Highly recommend!

The Brant Beach Yacht Club is a beautiful setting for a beach wedding. Working with the team at BBYC was a breeze, they are kind, understanding and supportive of the craziness that 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!

From the moment we visited Brant Beach Yacht Club (BBYC) we knew we wanted to get married there! We always wanted a beach ceremony, but accomplishing this on the public NJ beaches 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!

I had the pleasure of getting married at Brant Beach Yacht Club on October 3rd 2014. My husband and I were looking for a more laid back style and once I walked up and saw the rocking 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!

This venue is just gorgeous. Located on the beautiful Barnegat Bay, your memories will shine as bright as the photographs. Everywhere you look, there's a view. Two decks, very clean, 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.

We had an amazing wedding with a special thanks to Michele at BBYC, she was beyond helpful with quick responses to emails and answering all of our questions. Being over an hour away it was nice to have a reliable contact person through the whole wedding planning process.

The BBYC was a fantastic location for our wedding. It is set right on the bay in LBI and offers wonderful sunsets. The facility is also nicely updated inside and the event coordinator there is wonderful to work with.
