Our wedding at the Corinthian Yacht Club of Cape May was nothing short of magical! From start to finish, the venue exceeded all of our expectations, and we couldn't have asked for a more perfect day.
The views are absolutely breathtaking—truly a hidden gem. The sunset over the water was a moment our guests will never forget; it made for the most romantic and stunning backdrop for our reception.
Alyssa, the venue coordinator, was an absolute dream to work with. She was incredibly responsive, friendly, and professional from the very first conversation. No request was too big or small for her, and she went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly on the big day.
The food was another highlight of our celebration. We opted for the dual plate entrée with a seasonal salad, and our guests couldn't stop raving about how delicious their meals were. The fact that we were also able to offer specialty cocktails and mocktails was a huge plus—they were a big hit with our guests and added a personal touch to the celebration.
The staff at the Corinthian Yacht Club was outstanding as well. They were all extremely professional, attentive, and friendly, making sure that everything was perfect throughout the night. From the bartenders to the servers, everyone played a part in making our day flawless.
All in all, we couldn't have asked for a better venue for our wedding. The combination of stunning views, amazing food, and exceptional service made our day unforgettable. We are so grateful to Alyssa and the entire team at the Corinthian Yacht Club for helping us create the wedding of our dreams! Highly recommend for anyone looking for a beautiful and memorable venue in Cape May.

The Corinthian Yacht Club of Cape May was the quintessential wedding venue for us. Working with the manager, Alyssa, was an absolute dream throughout the entire process. Her willingness to collaborate and her invaluable suggestions on how to maximize the venue's potential were beyond helpful. Looking back at our photos, I'm immensely grateful for following her advice – she truly has an exceptional eye for detail.
Chef Joey left us speechless – no notes needed. His culinary creations were a highlight, with our guests praising each dish as not just the best wedding food they've ever had, but some of the best meals, period. His crab cakes have earned a special place in my heart.
The entire staff at the club was kind, attentive, and incredibly proficient in their roles. We encountered zero issues; a testament to their professionalism and dedication to excellence. Choosing this venue was undoubtedly one of the best decisions we made. While Cape May boasts many beautiful locations, none come with a team as stellar as the Corinthian Yacht Club's.
Thank you, CYCM, for giving us the best day! I highly recommend this venue to anyone considering a wedding in Cape May. Our experience was filled with only positive notes.

Alyssa and her team know how to host a wedding! They were an absolute DREAM to work with, especially as a couple who spent most of our months wedding planning from 800 miles away! Alyssa was so easy to communicate with, extremely responsive and very willing to answer all of our (many many) questions. The venue itself is absolutely stunning, the views are incredible and they have kept the design simple and timeless, allowing you to take it any direction. Due to unforeseen weather, we had to make a very last minute change to the ceremony location and Alyssa and her team managed to execute it so flawlessly that you would have never guessed it was not the original plan. Chef Joey and his team are EXCELLENT and so willing to accommodate all of our requests. Everything that comes out of his kitchen is delicious and our guests are STILL (9 months later) raving about the crab cakes. Alyssa, Chef Joey and everyone at the Corinthian Yacht Club made sure that we had the most perfect day and we could not have made a better choice— I wish we could do it over and over and over again!!!!

We had been looking in Cape May for the perfect place to have our wedding. The minute we walked into the Corinthian Yacht Club we knew it was exactly where we needed to have it. And I can say it was definitely the best choice we made! From the spectacular views, to the PHENOMENAL food and exceptional service, the Corinthian Yacht Club was the most perfect wedding venue. Thanks to Kristin and Harry we had our fairytale wedding ❤. Our guests all raved about how it was the best wedding they had ever been to, and we couldn't agree more!

I have always loved the beach. The seashore was my second home. When we stepped into The Corinthian Yacht Club of Cape May the first time, I knew instantly that this beautiful quaint piece of heaven, on the ocean, was the place we WANTED/NEEDED to get married. Kristin Gleason was an absolute angel! She worked with us for 2+ years because of Covid. She took care of everything and the night went seamlessly. The night was magically perfect. She cares about her brides and their special day. She is amazing. Oh and by the way the food was delicious. Five Star cocktail hour and dinner! Bravo Chef Harry! Our guests then danced the night away and said it was the best wedding they have ever been to. XOXO ❤️

The Corinthian Yacht Club is the perfect venue for your Cape May wedding! Our wedding was absolutely beautiful- our friends all said they "felt like they were in a movie" because the location, food, and drinks were all stunning. Kristin and Harry did a phenomenal job with absolutely everything! The food was excellent, and Kristin went above and beyond to make sure everything was absolutely perfect. She had so much patience working with us- even after multiple date changes due to Covid. I couldn't have asked for a better place or team to make my wedding dreams come true! I highly recommend having your wedding here!

The PERFECT on-the-water venue! We booked this venue for its amazing view and beautiful property pre-pandemic. Then, we got slammed with covid (more than a year before our date) and panicked about our wedding. Kris went ABOVE AND BEYOND to advocate for us & to make our dream wedding come true. Everything was seamless day on our big day! The food here is also top notch & so reasonably priced. We aren’t huge on seafood but the bacon wrapped scallops and the crab imperial stuffed flounder melted in our mouths & were the best we’ve ever had! If we had to do it all over again, I’d book with Kris 1000 more times!

I' not sure where to begin, Kris took care of everything. She is a true professional and I'm so glad we chose this beautiful venue. The food was amazing (thanks Harry!!), the views were even better. From picking the date to picking up flowers the day after, everything went smoothly. Kris not only helped with the venue but also all of the vendors that she recommended were awesome. She is a logistical queen, and helped us shape a day that would work based on her experience, but also felt uniquely ours. I cannot recommend it more.

There are no where near enough words to describe how magical our wedding was at the Corinthian Yacht Club a few weeks ago. I can't believe how quickly it came and went! Kristin and her team were a dream to work with from beginning to end. When I walked in on the day of the wedding and saw how beautiful it looked (especially the tent!) I cried! The venue is just stunning and the food is amazing. We drank and danced all night long, it was truly such a wonderful evening! Thank you to Kristin and her team for all that you did, we can't thank you enough! We highly recommend! x

There are not enough words to express how incredible our wedding was at the Corinthian Yacht Club. I am beyond thankful for Kristin and how much time and effort she put into ensuring that our wedding day was absolutely perfect. From day one, she kept in constant communication with me and answered any and all of the questions I had. She went above and beyond to make my vision a reality. Our guests could not (and have not) stopped talking about how beautiful our wedding was and how much fun they had. The timeline of the wedding was executed seamlessly, the food was delicious, and the servers/bartenders were wonderful. The Corinthian was the venue of our dreams and we cannot thank Kristin enough for everything she did for us!!

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.

There is no better place to capture a dream wedding in Cape May than the Corinthian Yacht Club of Cape May. We cannot thank Kristin, Harry and their staff enough for making our wedding everything we could have imagined and more. Initially, my husband and I were crammed with time and had less than 5 months to plan a wedding. From the start, Kristin and Harry made our planning a breeze, even when we felt as if time could get in the way. Every meeting we had was organized, professional and left us feeling relaxed and excited for the next time we came back. We were always greeted with a smile and warm hug that formed a relationship to make us feel like family.
Our wedding took place right after renovations had just been completed and it was STUNNING. Our guests could not have enough positive remarks about the Yacht Club and even mentioned potential weddings in the future at this location because of how beautiful and smooth the wedding went. I even recall stopping for a moment between dinner and dancing to absorb the night and looked at Kristin and told her I never thought I would feel so relaxed on my wedding day.
As a couple, you plan this wedding over a long period of time and put so much effort to make everything come together and trust into someone to make sure that your dream wedding is complete. If there is anyone in this world that we would do it over again with, it would be Kristin, Harry and their staff.

If you are looking at other venues in Cape May stop looking and call Kristin Gleason immediately to book the Corinthian Yacht Club of Cape May! We booked our initial meeting with Kristin on a Saturday in October for a a potential wedding date the following September. When we told people we were going to meet with Kristin and potentially hold our wedding at CYCCM we received so many raving reviews that we were initially skeptical that she could be that wonderful. Well, she IS that wonderful and we were completely satisfied with every aspect of the venue and her services. Kristin is extremely professional and uniquely approachable from the minute you meet with her you realize that you are in the best possible hands for your big day! Kristin listened to our interest and concerns and built out a perfect day for us. She offered great recommendations and were happy to have Kristin’s expertise providing feedback.
The venue
The venue is spectacular for a small, intimate wedding. You can’t get a better location than on the bay with the setting sun. We were able to get some fantastic pictures based on the views and location. We were looking for more of an elegant party feel for our event and CYCCM was able to deliver. CYCCM offered an intimate dining experience, casual lounge feel with the wicker couches for guest to linger, corn hole, and an amazing fire pit that was a huge hit! The second floor roof deck for happy hour at sunset is a view that shouldn’t be missed!
The venue has a great flow from the dining area, to the lounging and cocktail areas, to the amazing brick ceremony/ dance floor overlooking the bay. Kristin suggested we get a tent - just in case -and I would say that it was well worth the money and piece of mind given that they called for rain on the day of our event.
The food
The hardest part about the food was choosing which fantastic menu to go with from the appetizers, and hors d'oeuvres, to the dinner it feels like you are eating at a fine dining establishment. CYCCM is lucky to have Harry and you will not be disappointed in the food! When we told our parents that we were going to hold our event at CYCCM they were all thrilled. My father mentioned that he still dreams of the Grouper Charleston entrée from one of Harry’s restaurants and was extremely happy when they offered it as an option for the event.
We received so many complements on the food and how it was presented to the table, how beautifully prepared, and how delicious the food was. Again, Harry and team offered a multi star restaurant experience for one hundred people! Amazing!
The experience
Kristin and Harry treat their staff extremely well and it shows in the delivery and presentation. Servers were attentive and on top of their game. Bartenders worked with speed and efficiency and with a smile on their face the whole time. The team was also fantastic at transitioning from the ceremony to the reception with ease. The staff were skilled at greeting and directing guests like a well oiled machine. We also received many complements from our guests about how they were treated during the event.
I recommend Corinthian Yacht Club of Cape May with my highest recommendation. I can’t thank Kristin, Harry and team enough for allowing us to host a spectacular event. Cape May is lucky to have such a wonderful venue and crew! Six months after the event people are still talking about the venue, the food, and the service.

Where to begin... We'll start by giving you a bit of a background on how the Corinthian Yacht Club came to miraculously be our dream wedding reception venue.
We originally had a different reception venue nailed down about 14 months out from our wedding date. Unfortunately there was a bit of an unforeseen hiccup with the venue that led us having to find a new venue in under 6 months. I know what you're thinking, " A hiccup! How can you nonchalantly speak about trying to find a new venue in under 6 months! ". Well it didn't go nonchalantly at all. I was in pure panic, but the only thing I could think to do in " panic mode " was to take action. I knew the church and other vendors were already paid and/or had large deposits for our wedding date so I had to find a replacement venue fast. I emailed countless wedding reception venues, even venues that weren't typical for hosting weddings in Cape May County. I also explored the idea of moving the whole wedding reception out of Cape May County completely, possibly closer to the Philly area or changing the celebration/reception part of our wedding to a completely different date all together! I couldn't tell you exactly who I emailed/called in the days after I found out about our venue mishap because the list was long. I was just praying by the grace of God someone would miraculously get back to me with some good news.
God surely did answer. I received a voicemail from Kris Gleason (CYCCM Event Manager) literally saying " It's your guardian angel to the rescue. That date is still actually available! ". My eyes filled with tears. I didn't know who and from where was exactly calling me back, but I was filled with utter joy to have received a positive call back because I was in a bit of a desperate situation. Kris immediately jumped to action when I returned her call and set-up a meeting with me and my then fiancé right away (might I add this was for over the weekend right after Thanksgiving)! I walked into the Corinthian Yacht Club that weekend and BOOM, I knew this was it. My desperate solution was far from despair. It was actually beautiful, both literally and figuratively! Nothing we had planned for the wedding up until that point felt right till we walked into the club to be warmly greeted by Kris. She was so empathetic to our situation and was doing everything in her power to assure us from here on out we were in good hands. We had very particular requests on how we wanted our food to be served and they were more than accommodating to our needs and special wants. Everything after our initial meeting was so seamless and easy. Kris was very responsive via phone/email and highly organized with every aspect of planning. Let's just say every "t" was crossed and "i" was dotted. Even last minute changes were handled with grace.
As for the day of, IT WAS PERFECT. I had a direct line of communication with Kris that morning and boy did she not let the phone ring more than once! Kris and Harry (Chef) run a superb show there. I lack enough enthusiasm in words to tell you just how incredible it was. The venue itself and its surroundings are just GORGEOUS. Food was top notch. Harry having owned/run some of Cape May's finest restaurants, I knew to expect nothing else; and with Kris's highly organized and flawless operational skills you're guaranteed a successful event at the Corinthian Yacht Club! Let's just say friends and family still refer to our wedding as the " best " they've ever been to!

I don't know where to being. My husband and I had our wedding reception at the Corinthian Yacht Club of Cape May on 9/16/17. It was the most magical day of our lives. Both of us being lifelong NJ residents, spending our summers in Ocean City and Ventnor, we knew we wanted our reception to be "down the shore", outside, with a view of the water. With our invite list at 275, our options became limited...until I found CYCCM. I walked in and knew immediately this was the place. It is elegant without being stuffy, the views are unbeatable and the staff was the icing on the cake. Harry (chef) and Kristin (manager) were so accommodating and worked tirelessly to be sure every detail was executed with precision. I had some very specific ideas of what I wanted, some of which have never been done before at the yacht club, but this was no problem for Harry and Kristin. Harry prepared a flawless meal for our 215 guests and 20 vendor meals. He accommodated our want to have a pasta course instead of a salad, as my family is Italian-American. We did the Antipasta Bar and Raw Bar for the cocktail hour, along with pass hours d’oeuvres, all were unbelievable in taste and in display. The filet and crab cake and salmon choices for our entrees were beyond expectations. The food was delicious, the plating was beautiful and the service was exceptional. Kristin went above and beyond to be sure she had extra staff to handle our guests and the level of service we requested. Her servers made sure no glass was ever empty, they were so kind and gracious and attended to the needs of our guests. Coming from a Type-A Bride who had a very specific vision, Kristin was so great to work with and put me at ease. She was so quick to respond on emails and tests, answered any questions I had and truly delivered on every part of the day. I cannot say enough about CYCCM, and neither can our guests! We are still getting notes, emails, texts, about the food, the views, the staff. Everything was perfect. This is truly a one of a kind venue, it has it all and more. I give CYCCM my highest recommendation. Our sincere thanks to Harry and Kristin to making our day so perfect.

On a beautiful evening in June 2017 our daughter and her husband had their stateside reception at CYCCM following their destination wedding which took place overseas. The venue is gorgeous! From the clean, crisp nautical feel of the dining and bar areas, to the stunning brick patio and fire pit near the water...it was all understated elegance. There was plenty of comfortable space for guests to sit and chat, dance inside or out under the stars, and enjoy drinks while admiring a beautiful sunset.
Through every step in planning this event, Kris was phenomenal. We quickly learned that she is much more than professional. She took a personal interest in making this event special, and worked tirelessly to respond to our requests. Her suggestions showed the depth of her experience; and Kris calmed all my "mother-of-the-bride" anxieties about countless details.
The evening itself was magical. Kris managed the "flow" flawlessly so that all of us were able to enjoy the occasion without any worries. The hors d'oeuvres and entrées were deliciously created by Harry, an amazing chef. And the staff were all quietly engaged and supportive throughout the evening. Our most sincere thanks to Kris, Harry, and all the staff for helping us to make a Cape May memory of a lifetime for all our guests.
Looking back on the entire planning process, and on the celebration itself, I can say that having our daughter's reception at CYCCM was a brilliant choice that truly impressed all of us, and we highly recommend this fabulous venue to anyone who's planning to celebrate a dream-come-true event.

The Corinthian Yacht Club is such a perfect setting for a wedding reception! Being located on the harbor makes for such beautiful scenery and the facility itself is also beautiful. It was everything we were looking for when our daughter chose to be married in Cape May. Kristin Gleason was so easy to work with as the event coordinator. From our first meeting all the way thru the actual reception we knew we were in good hands. The reception went so smoothly and we received so many compliments from our guests. Harry Gleason prepared the superb food for our guests which once again we received many compliments on. We HIGHLY recommend the CYCCM as an exceptional venue for a wedding!!!

I honestly cannot say enough nice things about this venue. I just had my wedding here last weekend and it was absolutely perfect. Kristin, the event manager, and Harry, the chef, were two of the most accommodating people two work with and really made the event what it was. The food was phenomenal! I had so many people come up to me and tell me how delicious everything was, which is not typical for wedding food. The venue itself is incredible. My dad said he felt like he was at a Kennedy wedding because the views and grounds were stunning. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful throughout the evening. This truly was the greatest location to have a major event. I will always feel at home at the Yacht Club and am so grateful to everyone for making our day perfect.

My wife and I were married at CYCCM in June 2017 and I can honestly say if there were more than 5 stars to give I would give them all. From the moment we first walked in to meet with Kristin we knew it was the place for us: every meeting, phone call, and set-up before the wedding reassured us that everything was under control. On the day of our wedding, we had all that we wanted and more. There were 100 guests at our wedding and we felt like they were all comfortable and were addressed in a polite and respectful manner by every CYCCM staff member.
The food arrived delicious, hot, and on time (rare for a wedding with plated meals!); the hors d'oeuvres were plentiful and creative; the bartenders were so fun and generous all night; and the staff did a stellar job handling numerous severe dietary restrictions of our guests. We brought our own mini desserts and décor, which the staff arranged tastefully and carefully.
Although our cocktail hour and dinner were in the yacht club, all of our photos and ceremony, as well as most of our reception, were outside. CYCCM has some beautiful places for photos including docks, a strand of clean beach, and both a patio and roof deck. Kristin directed the guests and staff effortlessly to enter for the ceremony, to exit for cocktail hour, and to move along to dinner and dancing. Dancing was outside on the patio, which faces north-northwest and gave us the most breathtaking sunset views. Having the fire pit and both indoor and outdoor seating gave our guests lots of spaces for rest, and offered some of our guests that are hard of hearing the option to talk and visit without feeling either overwhelmed by the music or completely removed from the party.
We are so incredibly happy that we picked CYCCM and have received countless compliments on the venue and reception from our guests. Having plans for a lovely outdoor wedding with an equally attractive indoor space for our "plan B" gave us so much calm for an otherwise hectic occasion: there is truly nowhere else like it in Southern NJ with so much to offer, and if I had to do it all over again or recommend a venue to others I would choose CYCCM without a second thought.

I cannot say enough about the Corinthian Yaht Club of Cape May. My reception there was in June of 2016 & it was absolutely wonderful! Every aspect was top notch. Kristin Gleeson went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. She made appropriate & very helpful suggestions when necessary and was on top of every detail. She coordinated so well with the venders so everything ran smoothly. And the food was delicious! The chef Harry Gleeson did a fabulous job on the appetizers & dinner. Our guests raved about how wonderful everything was. The setting on the water was just beautiful as the sunset was right out of a movie. I highly recommend having your cocktail hour on the second floor as the view of the water & boats going by was amazing! Also, the yaht club staff was so professional and VERY friendly! And they also were so helpful in any way they could be. My only regret is not writing the review sooner! I feel so bad it took a YEAR to do:(

If you're looking for an authentic Cape May venue, then look no more....Corinthian Yacht Club is perfect. The views are incredible, the venue is nautically charming, the staff is great, and the food is delicious (thank you, Harry!). Just had my daughter's wedding there and I'm still getting compliments from our guests. One tip though, if you think you need a wedding organizer, forget it...save your $$...Kristin and her staff are more than capable...

The Corinthian Yacht Club of Cape May is an absolutely amazing wedding venue, and I would highly recommend it to anyone. Being from Cape May I wanted to have a wedding that showed off the beauty of our seashore resort and yacht club nailed it! We loved every minute of the wedding planning process with Kris and Harry. They were so accommodating, flexible, knowledgeable and enjoyable to work with. Using their expertise and our vision for our wedding, we were able to have the most incredible day of our lives. The food was delicious and all prepared on site by Harry. Kris was fantastic at coordinate details and timing of the day. Even though she was unable to be there for the night of the wedding, she made sure that everything was perfectly organized and was executed as we had discussed. We opted for a tent over the brick pavers which made for an incredible view of the harbor and the feeling that you were "dancing on the water". I have nothing but positive feedback for the yacht club and their staff. We especially enjoyed ending the night dancing with some of the staff. Thanks for the memories!!! If you choose to book with CYCCM, you will not be disappointed :)

Where do I begin? I was the bride and my mother took care of most of the planning and details along with the wedding planner and manager of the Yacht Club Kristin Gleason. Kristin is amazing. She truly embodies the word "professionalism". There was not ONE detail that was overlooked at this event. From the beginning she was attentive and had every detail and aspect covered. My mom, who is very artistic and type A, was able to work extremely well with Kristin who was incredibly accommodating and polite in offering her ideas and suggestions. The food...we all know how it goes...most people just suffer through wedding food because we expect it to be bad and we are not phased. Not at the Yacht Club...the chef Harry is an absolute professional. At my wedding of 150 people, about 100 of those people ordered the fillet. Every single fillet came out medium rare and steaming hot. The grouper was to die for. This is not common at most venues, but this is what you can expect at the Yacht Club. I had so many people come up to us afterwards and compliment the food. Another big point, the waiters and bartenders exercised the utmost professionalism. They were courteous and attentive and what I found to be most incredible, was that you hardly noticed them. They didn't hover like often waiters do at these types of events. Finally, just the entire event, planned down to the very last detail, was such a hit. And I know that this was not the case for just my wedding. A large part of the reason we chose the Yacht Club in the first place was because of what we had heard from other people who had had weddings here. Everyone raves, and believe me...rightfully so. From the incomparable views to the level of service...I have zero complaints. I seriously recommend this venue to anyone considering a wedding or other event in Cape May. You will NOT be disappointed.

CYCCM is the best wedding venue in Cape May! Our daughter got married on 10/10/15 and had the wedding of her dreams. Aesthetically, it has panoramic views of the Cape May Harbor and is the backdrop of the most gorgeous sunsets. Her wedding photographs are a testimony to the beauty this venue possesses. This venue allows wedding guests to move around instead of being confined to a single room. It has a great flow combining both indoor and outdoor space. However, this is only the starting point of why it is such a perfect wedding venue. Kristin is absolutely the best event manager as she pays close attention to detail and knows her venue so well.Their recommended vendors for florist, DJ and bakery were top notch.There are also options to rent the use of the fire pit and a pergola from a club member for the wedding ceremony. Kristin was so easy to work with and when she promises to "take care of you" she exceeds all expectation. There is no need to hire a day of wedding planner as she ensures that everything goes as planned. It is evident that she loves what she does. Her staff was hard working and very accommodating to our wedding guests. Many thanks to Executive Chef Harry for the phenomenal food that our guests truly enjoyed! There were so many options from which to choose and we have received many compliments from our guests. In our opinion, this was the ideal venue for our daughter's wedding and we would highly recommend CYCCM as a wedding venue. Kristin and Harry Gleason will make your wedding day special as well as memorable!

I can't even begin to describe how amazing this venue is. From the day we stepped inside, we knew this is where we had to get married. The view is unlike anything else you will get in Cape May. From the minute we booked, Kristin was the biggest help in the world with anything that we needed, she was just as excited as we were about our big day. Everything we needed, they made happen. The day of the wedding went off without a hitch and everyone had the most amazing time. We had a wedding of almost 200 people and everyone has been raving to me about how fantastic the food was. The sunset is gorgeous there and will make for the best photos of the day as well. The staff went out of their way to make sure this was the best day of our lives.

We stumbled upon this place after a bad experience with the Washington Inn (the worst!), and thank God we did because it was absolutely perfect. We did photos out on the dock, cocktail hour on the upstairs deck with a spectacular view of the sun setting over the bay, and then we had the dance floor just inches from the water. The fire pit was great, too. Kristin is THE BEST! She made sure we had all our bases covered in the planning stages, and she made sure everything ran smoothly on the big day. I'm a worrier, but I didn't have to worry at all with her in charge. She says she loves doing weddings, and you can tell it's true. Harry's food was phenomenal, of course, and he was great to work with also. Overall, the perfect place - and more affordable than most comparable venues in the shore towns.

We are so happy that we chose the CYCCM for our September wedding. We visited almost every venue in Cape May and we knew CYCCM was the best choice because of the gorgeous views, lovely venue and delicious menu. Kristin is so easy to work with and she wants every bride's wedding to be perfect!
Because of the weather, we had our wedding in the tented area inside but it still looked gorgeous even though it wasn't the outside wedding I expected. The food was incredible. We had so many compliments on how amazing and perfectly cooked everything was. Kristin also runs a tight ship and service was fantastic. We've gone to several weddings where you wait a long time for your meal but not at the yacht club. Everything ran so smoothly. We received so many compliments on the venue. It's a beautiful, intimate venue and I can't imagine choosing another place in Cape May to get married. Thank you Kristin and Harry!

We loved working with Kristin and Harry to make our big day special, personal, and unique. The weather threatened our dreams of an outdoor ceremony, but the YC team made it happen with very little stress to me. Harry helped us customize the timing, the format, and the menu items to ensure the event was uniquely ours. We chose the CYCCM because of the location, the views, and the mini beach. The weather took most of that away, but if I could do it all over again, I would still choose CYCCM 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 in Cape May. I would highly recommend a wedding at the YC!
