Hotel LBI

etail is unmatched. My dress got dirty during outdoor portraits and Donna and Emily sat on the floor cleaning and drying my dress while Petra welcomed guests to our ceremony.  Compliments to Tim the Executive Chef as our food was delicious and we received many compliments from our guests.  A WARNING to brides… Christmas decorations were up at Hotel LBI for our Wedding date on 11/15/2025 and we were not made aware of this beforehand. Other than this hiccup, the day went exactly as planned.

the moment I called to make my tour of the venue Donna seemed so excited for me. During my first tour, Chandra showed me and my maid of honor around and explained everything. She was so sweet and was able to answer all my questions. After having seen a few other venues prior to this, I knew that this was my dream venue. I had another tour and brought my now husband and both of our moms. Chandra and Donna showed us around and there was absolutely no pressure from them. They told us how the day would go and all of the things that they would be helping out with so that the day would run smoothly. I knew that if I chose them, they would take so much of the stress off of me. As soon as we left my fiancé said that this was his favorite place and that we should go with them. He said they seem to know what they’re doing and they were the best of all the places I had forced him to go. My mother felt the same way. We were so excited to choose hotel LBI. They were extremely responsive throughout the entire process and always helped with anything that I needed. They had set up multiple meetings and had them scheduled well in advance and told me what things needed to be done next without stressing me out. I was able to meet a lot of the staff who would be present on my wedding day. Even my tasting was a great experience with Petra and vincent.  My wedding day could not have went more smoothly. Everyone says there will be things that go wrong or things not placed in the right area. However, none of that happened on my wedding day. Everything ran perfectly smoothly and Petra had set up everything exactly how I envisioned if not better.  My maitre D was also phenomenal. She knew exactly what she was doing. Anything that happened she was prepared for. Even my husband‘s button fell off of his jacket and she sewed it on within minutes. She helped me transition my hair from a half up/half down to a low bun during the middle of my reception. She went and got my sneakers when I wanted out of my heals. She fixed my bustle when somebody had stepped on the dress while dancing and tore one of the hooks. She was so sweet and calm during the entire day.  They cleaned up everything at the end of the night and got everything back into my suite super organized.  Everything that they had done for me was part of their package and wedding experience. When you book hotel LBI everything will have been thought of. You don’t need any extras because they have created such a perfect wedding experience and cohesive plan for the day I really couldn’t have made it any better. I truly feel they become your friends and you can tell they genuinely care. (I could even see them in the background of everything looking so happy for me and that they actually wanted to be there) 

in making our day perfect. Every step of the planning process felt smooth and stress-free, and it was clear how experienced and thoughtful the staff is when it comes to hosting weddings. One of our favorite parts of the day was the cocktail hour on the beautiful veranda. The space was absolutely stunning, and it created the perfect atmosphere for our guests to mingle and enjoy the evening. We were also able to customize the cocktail hour to include some of our favorite foods, which was such a nice personal touch. The food was absolutely amazing — our guests are still talking about it weeks later! Everything was fresh, delicious, and beautifully presented. The reception space was just as impressive — elegant, warm, and welcoming. The service throughout the night was flawless. The staff moved everything along perfectly behind the scenes while making sure we were completely taken care of and didn’t have to worry about a thing. Hotel LBI exceeded all of our expectations and gave us a day we’ll never forget. We’re so grateful to the entire team for making our wedding so magical. If you’re considering this venue, don’t hesitate — it was hands-down the best decision we made!

ssured everything ran smoothly and that I didn’t have to worry about a thing. The service they provided to not only me but every one of our guests was truly top tier. Don’t even get me started about the food! It was amazing, unlike any other food I’ve had at a wedding. Cocktail hour apps and stations were such a hit and dinner was incredible. Our guests did not stop raving about it. Donna, Petra, and Chandra will treat you like family and make you feel so special. Highly recommend Hotel LBI!!! You are really in the best hands.

emony. Donna and Petra quick switched the ballroom over to ceremony and it was as beautiful as ever!! Emily was my bridal attendant and she was AMAZING! She never left my side. I would not have gotten through the day without her. Everyone was amazed at how Donna, Petra, Emily and their staff run things. My guests were just complementing them over and over saying "this was the best wedding we have ever been to!". They really know what they are doing, and I couldn't have picked a better place to have one of the best nights of my life! We love you Donna and Petra!! We will be back Hotel LBI <3

bout how good everything tasted. The staff was so helpful when it came to decorating the hall with our things and packed everything up for us at the end of the night. So happy we went with Hotel LBI, can’t wait to go back for long weekends, the hotel is great, rooms are huge and they have lots of things for guests to do.

rofessional and we left each meeting feeling confident. Our guests raved about the food, location, and hotel experience. We are constantly reliving the best moments of our day and we are so happy we chose this venue!

ys responsive and willing to answer any/all questions we had. Leading up to our wedding, we had multiple meetings and phone calls to go over our wedding day minute by minute to make sure it ran exactly how we envisioned it. On the day of the wedding the whole staff worked cohesively to bring our vision to life without a hitch. The rooms are beautiful and spacious to get ready in, and the groomsmen enjoyed relaxing in the boardroom before the ceremony started. Leah and Chandra remained by my side all day as my bridal attendants to fix my hair, dress, makeup, make sure I was eating/drinking, and help with whatever I needed. Petra, the Maître D', made sure we were running on time and made sure everyone was where they needed to be. Not only did they all make sure that things ran smoothly, but they felt like family enjoying and celebrating our love with us. They made sure my husband and I got time to ourselves before cocktail hour to enjoy the amazing food and have time to soak everything in. The food for cocktail hour and dinner was DELICIOUS, with our guests still telling us how amazing it was. It was truly the perfect day and there's not a single thing I would change. Our guests have told us on multiple accounts that it was the best wedding they've been to and I credit Hotel LBI and their staff for making that possible!!

her so often! She always was sure to answer my questions quickly & gave the best advice. A true angel when it comes to planning your special day. Petra & Emily during our wedding day were the best!!! Emily constantly had my lipgloss, phone, and made sure I always had a drink & I was okay. All our guests have said it was the best wedding they’ve ever been to! Our food was spectacular & they even accommodated pierogis for our cocktail hour as my husband & his family are Polish! Hotel LBI made our wedding day so spectacular. From their amazing staff, beautiful venue, beautiful rooms for guests, all the way down to their rustic tables & chairs, Hotel LBI is one of a kind. I also truly recommend to book the Lavish Bay suite for your getting ready room! It was so beautiful & had so much space for me & my girls! I recommend Hotel LBI for any couple looking for an elegant, beautiful, and classy beach venue. Thank you Hotel LBI!

this amazing team!! There was nothing we had to stress about on the day of because we knew this team had it covered. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about the food and the venue as a whole!

of the Hotel LBI team and staff. I am a type-A perfectionist who took on the task of planning my own wedding, however, with the support and guidance from the Dir. of Events, Donna, the execution by Maitre D’etage Petra, and the staff, we enjoyed every minute of our day and it went off without a hitch- possibly even better than we could have imagined! The staff truly becomes like family and Donna was the first person my husband and I hugged after walking down the aisle, Petra had us on time to every event without a worry in the world, my bridal attendant Emily was so incredible she anticipated my every need and was there to put my veil in, kept me in the best company when waiting to walk down the aisle, made sure I looked my best at all times and ensured I was well fed throughout the day. We also had the best experience at our tasting with Banquet Captains Maria and Vincent and requested that they be there on the night of our wedding which luckily worked out because they were also so helpful, kind, and attentive. The hotel itself is beautiful and luxurious and the Lavish Bay Suite was the PERFECT place for my large group to get ready in the morning of and a beautiful and romantic place for my new husband and I to spend our first night as a couple. The boardroom was also helpful for the men to relax in and the bridal party to have access to throughout the event. The entire team prioritized our enjoyment of the day - to not feel rushed, to be on time to each event, to be well fed, and to also have alone time together to soak it all up. Not to mention, the food was truly delicious!! I can’t recall another wedding I have been to where I was served a perfectly cooked filet AND a full lobster tail (even the other entree dishes were delicious, though we opted for the surf and turf). My guests still are talking about the food all of these months later! My husband and I even dine at Salt regularly just to have our wedding entree over and over again. Every single minute of our day was perfect and memorable and it is a true reflection of the hard working, professional, kind, and expert team at Hotel LBI. From the bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU!!

eks since our wedding and many of our guests are still talking about how good the service, food, and overall quality of the venue was. Many of them have said that Hotel LBI has the best wedding food they’ve ever had. I could not recommend this venue more and am extremely grateful of the staff for providing a perfect wedding!

nd Nick all wonderful people . Of course, the Bar tenders Joe, Jovan, Paul and Christine to the servers at our event everything and everyone were simply the BEST !!!

Donna and her team's unwavering dedication to making our special day not only memorable but truly magical. LBI holds a special place in our hearts as it is where we met and got engaged. One of the standout aspects of Hotel LBI was their ability to bring our vision to life. With their impeccable attention to detail and creativity, they exceeded all expectations. The venue's vendor and decor friendly manner allowed us to design the wedding of our dreams, ensuring each element resonated with our unique style. From the ceremony setup to the reception decor, every detail was executed flawlessly, leaving us and our guests in awe. The support and expertise provided by Donna, Vinny, and the rest of the staff cannot be praised enough. Their commitment to making our day perfect was evident throughout the entire planning process, and their assistance with the decor was invaluable. The team went above and beyond to ensure that every element of our vision was meticulously executed. Their dedication demonstrated their passion and professionalism, which shone through in every interaction. Our guests are still raving about the food served at our reception. We chose steak and lobster for the main entree of our wedding which left everyone talking long after the event. From cocktail hour, the appetizers to the main course to the mouthwatering desserts, each dish was prepared to perfection and beautifully presented. The thoughtfulness and creativity put into the menu truly impressed our guests, making the dining experience an absolute highlight of the evening. Furthermore, the impeccable service provided by the staff was second to none. The team effortlessly ensured that all our guests were comfortable and attended to, leaving no detail overlooked. Their attentiveness, warmth, and professionalism throughout the evening added an extra touch of class and made everyone feel welcomed. In addition to the excellent service and stunning decor, the venue's hotel facilities were exceptional. The elegant rooms and amenities, our guests were thoroughly impressed with the comfort and convenience provided. Overall, our experience with Hotel LBI was nothing short of extraordinary. Their kindness, passion for their craft, and dedication to making our day perfect created an ambiance that continues to resonate with us and our guests. We wholeheartedly recommend Hotel LBI, Donna and her staff to couples searching for a wedding venue that exceeds expectations, delivers exceptional service, and brings dreams to life. They are true professionals in every sense, and the love they pour into their work is undeniable.

stunning and special. The food was AMAZING. Our guests could not stop talking about how great the cocktail hour and main course was, it was the #1 compliment we received! The bridal suites are huge and bright, and made a great place to get ready on the day of. Our whole experience was relaxed and seamless thanks to Donna and Petra. Donna is truly the best in the business and a big reason why we felt so comfortable booking this venue. She made us feel so taken care of and special. We’d trust that woman with our lives, she should get paid more!!! Hotel LBI knows what they’re doing, and you’ll have an amazing wedding day and experience if you choose to get married there!

u could just tell every one of them gave it their all to give you the best you deserve on your wedding day. Our guests made several comments on how friendly and accommodating everyone at Hotel LBI was, whether it was parking attendants, greeters, the front desk, waiters or bartenders – everyone was overly impressed with the service. We can not say enough good things about Donna, Petra, Erica, and Emily. From the first day we met with Donna, we knew that was where we wanted to get married. She was just the best and treated you as if you were her own kids getting married. She answered emails so quickly, addressing the many questions we had; gave us suggestions and advice throughout the entire process; she let us know she was there to help us with anything and that is exactly what she did. We knew we were in great hands and will forever be thankful for her. If Donna was out of the office, Erica was right there to step in and respond. They didn’t miss a beat. Petra and Emily were amazing the day of our wedding. Emily was by my side at all times helping with whatever I needed. My dress got dirty when we went to the beach for pictures and she did everything she could to get the train clean for me to walk down the aisle. She was on top of it! Petra was an incredible maître de and made everything flow seamlessly. We did not have to worry about a thing! It poured most of our wedding day so we had to move everything inside. Her and Donna coordinated everything to make the change and the staff did an outstanding job flipping the room over between ceremony and reception. It honestly worked out perfectly and everyone commented that they actually liked the Conservatory for the ceremony better because the room was just so different, and having cocktail hour in the Living Room was great, there was plenty of room for everyone to sit or mingle. The entire night went off without a hitch and it is all thanks to Donna, Petra and the rest of the team. The food is a whole other story. Cocktail hour was over the top! There were SO many choices. We upgraded to the Asian station which was a huge hit. The lamb chops were amazing, the shrimp cocktail was huge. Guests just raved about all of it! We went with the Filet and Lobster combo for dinner and everything was beyond delicious. It is so impressive that for such a large crowd every steak comes out cooked to perfection. Again, our guests could not have enough to say about the dinner, especially the fact that everyone at the table was served at the same time. It’s all the little details that really stand out to people and Hotel LBI definitely excelled in every aspect. Oh, and one more thing – the bridal suite – AMAZING! If you can book it, then splurge. It is so worth it! Still to this day we get comments from family and friends saying it was the best wedding they’ve ever been to, that other cocktail hours will never compare to ours, that we set the bar pretty high for weddings going forward. It makes us so happy to hear this because it truly was the best day of our lives. We keep saying we want to go back and do it all over again. We can’t wait to go back for our anniversary!

f our wants and needs. I highly recommend this venue as it will exceed your expectations and make your wedding experience one you will never forget!

nalism, responsiveness, kindness, inclusivity, and expertise that the Hotel LBI team exhibits. Donna and Erica were absolutely amazing to work with in the tour, booking, and planning processes. They would reply so quickly with a thorough response to any and all questions that we had. On the day of, Donna, Petra, and Leah were the best people to have around. Leah, our bridal attendant, thought of everything and was so kind throughout the entire day. Petra was a force to be reckoned with and kept everything in order with a gentle approach. We had the best day and were so grateful for the kindness and compassion the team showed us. They had us smiling all day. With respect to food, we keep getting messages from family and friends telling us how delicious everything was. We loved our cocktail hour selections, opted to upgrade with the raw bar and late night snacks (taylor ham, egg, and cheeses -- great choice), and gave our guests entree selections (chicken, halibut, filet). Their timing was impeccable and our guests were so well fed. We also did a send-off breakfast and, of course, everything was delicious. In addition to our wedding group, the front desk team and room block manager were incredibly professional and helpful throughout our stay at the hotel for us as well as our guests. Our tasting a few months earlier went so smoothly and the service team are next level. You are truly getting a wrap around service when booking Hotel LBI for your wedding and you will not be disappointed. Their attention to detail is absolutely on point and they help you think of everything. I could not have imagined a better team to work with and am so glad that we were able to share this moment in our lives with such a wonderful group of individuals! We felt so taken care of and felt truly grateful for having such kind people around us on such an important day.

booking our date, Donna worked closely with us to help us plan a special day that was unique and personalized. Donna was incredibly knowledgeable and gave us great advice throughout the wedding planning process. We had frequent communications and she always responded promptly and thoroughly. She gave us great recommendations for vendors. When it came time for our big day, we knew we were in good hands with Donna and her team including Erica, Petra and Emily and the many other wonderful staff members at Hotel LBI. It gave us such peace of mind that everything would run smoothly so we were able to fully be present in the moment and enjoy our day to the fullest extent. It was incredible! The food was fantastic; the steak and lobster, which can be difficult to prepare on a large scale, was cooked perfectly for each one of our guests. The creme brulee was to die for! The bartenders were fast and efficient and served our guests quickly so lines did not form at the bars. The waitstaff service was outstanding. We chose to have our ceremony in the conservatory (gorgeous!) and after the room was transformed into our reception space while our guests were at the cocktail hour on the covered veranda. The team beautifully executed our vision and set each table meticulously with our decorations. During cocktail hour, we were able to slip away across the street to take sunset pictures on the bay. The proximity of Hotel LBI to the water offers an incredible opportunity for amazing pictures. There were so many spots throughout the hotel that offered beautiful backdrops for photos. This venue is really one of a kind and ticked every item on our checklist. Top ratings for every facet. Overall, we felt genuinely taken care of and that the Hotel LBI team was personally invested in our special day. We received so many compliments in the days after our wedding from friends and family about the memories made that will last a lifetime.

tra, and Emily were absolutely wonderful and we couldn’t have pulled off the most perfect day. We have an will continue to recommend Hotel LBI to all our friends and family and will definitely be back to visit soon. This is the most perfect place to get married!!! Thank you again!!! Kristina and Dan
