Every moment of getting married at the Yacht Club was amazing! Book it! Run! Do it now!
I’ve never been one for a traditional wedding and dreaded the idea of a generic ballroom. ...From the moment that I walked into the Yacht Club, I couldn’t imagine getting married anywhere else. Having our ceremony (and later dancing!) right on the water was a true dream. Choosing to get married there was the easiest decision of the wedding planning process.
Our ceremony was beautiful, the food and drinks were incredibly delicious, the entire staff was so kind and helpful, and the day ran right on schedule. We loved being able to use the upstairs deck for cocktail hour, the beautifully renovated bar throughout the night, and the fire pit when the sun went down. We lucked into a stunning day, but even if it had been raining, it would have been perfect.
Throughout the planning process, having Kristin on our team was an unexpected and amazing asset. She was always prompt with her replies and quick to lend her thoughts and suggestions when asked. She didn’t steer us wrong once. We visited Cape May four to five times as we were planning, and Kristin was always accommodating and happy to meet us on our visits. She was also incredibly kind as I asked her endless (probably repetitive!) questions. Throughout the process, she assured us that she runs a tight ship and would do everything in her power to make sure the wedding day was everything we dreamed. She truly delivered. That the wedding was such a success is due in large part to her efforts.
One personal note about our day; after the ceremony, we did photos outside while the guests went upstairs to enjoy cocktail hour. When we came back in, before we went up to see our guests, Kristin pulled us into the bar, brought us a tray of appetizers, and made us a drink. One of my most precious memories of the day was having a few moments alone with my husband to absorb the enormity of getting married while sharing amazing food and an old fashioned. Thank you, Kristin, for giving us that moment together!
Every guest that I’ve heard from has been as thrilled as we were. Almost everyone has told me that our wedding was the best they’ve ever been to, and I believe them 100% percent. There were some bugs at night, but it’s an outside venue on the water in summer — it happens! Spray on some bug spray and get back out on the dance floor! It didn’t take anything away from the night at all!
There aren’t enough ways to say thank you to Kristin, Harry, and the Yacht Club staff for everything they put into our wedding. Book your wedding here! You won’t be disappointed.
