We got married at Icona Diamond Beach on 12/21/24. Phil, Bree and Riley made it such a seamless process from the day we met in June until our wedding. They helped us choose the perfect food for the cocktail hour, signature drinks and entrees. They were all so easily accessible via email for anything that came up along the way. We were able to utilize the getting ready rooms for the bridal parties & our immediate families and they were the perfect way to start our wedding day. Phil and Bree were endlessly checking in on us throughout the day to ensure everything was how we wanted it. We had a perfect breakfast the day after the wedding as well. We are so thankful we were able to have our reception at such a beautiful venue. We are forever grateful to Phil, Bree and the rest of the team!

We had the most incredible experience working with the team at Icona Diamond Beach for our wedding in September. Our coordinators—Phil, Bree, and Riley—were absolutely phenomenal from day one. They went above and beyond to ensure that everything was perfect and were incredibly accommodating to all our needs. Their attention to detail, professionalism, and kindness made the planning process smooth and stress-free.
On the day of the wedding, everything exceeded our expectations. The venue was breathtaking, the atmosphere was flawless, and every little detail was taken care of. Phil, Bree, and Riley made sure everything ran smoothly and allowed us to enjoy every moment without worry. Their dedication to making our day special was evident in everything they did, and we couldn’t be more grateful.
Our wedding day truly was perfect, and we owe so much of that to the amazing team at Icona Diamond Beach. If you're considering this venue for your wedding, we highly recommend it—you won’t be disappointed!

From start to finish we had the absolute best experience having our October 2024 wedding at Icona Diamond Beach! From the time we booked until the end of the night on our wedding day Phil, Bree, and Riley did everything possible to make sure our day came to life in the way we envisioned it, both throughout the planning process and on the day of. We had some unexpected wind a few hours before our ceremony and the team went above and beyond to make sure our ceremony and cocktail hour still went off seamlessly and beautifully. We received so many compliments from our guests about the food, several saying it was the best they had ever had at a wedding! The service was also wonderful, everyone was so kind and accommodating. And of course, the venue and setting are both stunning. We truly had the best day and could not have asked for anything more!

We got married at ICONA Diamond Beach in September and could not possibly say enough wonderful things!! Our wedding day was absolutely perfect and our overall stay was amazing. Our guests were blown away by the ballroom and how beautiful the ICONA is. The Star Bar is so much fun and a great place for cocktail hour. Phil, Bree, and Riley are the dream team!! They were so professional, accommodating, patient, kind, and genuinely supportive. The entire staff was amazing. On wedding day, they made sure everything ran smoothly and on time. They took the guess work out of everything and made things very easy. For guests, it’s convenient with all food located inside of the hotel and everything you need. Beach chairs, towels, and umbrellas included for beach time which made things very easy. So much was included in the wedding price that it made things more affordable and gave us the ability to elevate our wedding at a reasonable price. Best day of our lives! Thank you so much to the team at ICONA!!

We got married at the ICONA Diamond Beach in August 2024. We are still reliving our day over and over in our minds because of how happy we were with how our dream came to life. The entire wedding team, Phil, Bree and Riley are exceptional at their job and made the entire planning experience run smoothly because of their communication and dedication to their couples. The hotel itself is clean and updated and the beautiful beach is just a few steps away. We highly recommend this incredible hotel for a weekend getaway or as your dream wedding venue. We will never forget our special day!

Our October 2023 wedding at ICONA Diamond Beach was absolute perfection thanks to Phil, Riley, and the entire staff.
If you are looking to have your wedding at a venue down the shore, please consider getting married here! You will feel completely at ease with this team in your corner for your special day.
Thank you ICONA for executing our wedding vision flawlessly! We can't wait to return to the Star Bar for some orange crushes and to take a walk down memory lane amongst the palm trees!

Icona Diamond Beach delivered with my visions of a perfect beach wedding location!! It felt like a destination wedding but without all the traveling! Phil, Riley, and Bree were so easy to work with! They were so responsive via phone or email with any questions and they made wedding day flow so smoothly!! They were there to help you with anything you needed! Originally, we went to look at Icona Diamond Beach just to get a feel for what looking at a venue entailed. But we fell in love with the venue! We loved the palm tree walkway- palm trees were a necessity for me! The new ballroom overlooking the beach was breathtaking! My now husband got goosebumps when he walked into the ballroom and that's part of the reason we knew this was our venue!!
We had the BEST wedding day at Icona Diamond Beach! Our weather was perfect for outside in June but we were also prepared if mother nature had other plans by using the tents onsite (another positive for this venue- rain backup plan). The food was topnotch- all of our guests raved about the food and our signature drink! Having everything in one place was so nice and easy, especially for our guests! The getting ready rooms were also a huge plus to booking this venue. The bridal Spa-Lon is so beautiful with a lot of natural light and salon chairs to use for hair and makeup. The Aloha Room was used for the guys to get ready and all chill and then the whole bridal party was in there prior to ceremony! It was great to have big comfortable spaces for our whole wedding party!
I can't recommend Icona Diamond Beach enough!! My guests say it was one of the best weddings they've ever attended!! I wish I could relive this day over and over again!! Thank you Icona Diamond Beach and Phil, Bree, Riley for the BEST wedding day!

ICONA Diamond Beach is the place to have your wedding!!
The venue is beyond beautiful- you honestly forget you are in Wildwood, NJ. It feels like an all inclusive resort in the Caribbean. We had our ceremony on the beach, cocktail hour in the beach tent, our reception in the beautiful ballroom- which is absolutely breathtaking! And finally, our after party at the Star Bar. Each place was perfect and exactly what we wanted for our beach wedding. There’s no going wrong when choosing the location of your events- each one is just as beautiful as the next!
The food and drinks were incredible, especially because of the staff serving them! The bartenders and servers were excellent and our guest still talk about how great they were. All (about) 110 guest were served dinner at or very close to the same time- which may be a benefit of selecting the ballroom for your reception. Food was delicious and exactly what we expected it to be.
Back to the incredible staff- Phil, Bree, and Riley are the amazing wedding planners and coordinators. They were fabulous at every stage of planning! As a team, they helped make our vision come together. They are professional, accommodating, and so, so kind! They truly helped make choosing ICONA Diamond Beach a no brainer for us!
Our guests continue to rave about their experiences and we could not be prouder to have had our wedding here.
“I can’t believe we are in Wildwood!”
“I’ve never been to a wedding where everyone got their dinner at the same time!”
“That bartender had my drink ready before I got to the bar!”
- all comments from our guests who had a blast!
We’ve recommended ICONA Diamond Beach during our planning process and continue to recommend it to others!!

The staff was top notch - Phil, Breana and Riley - thank you. Everyone I spoke to was please with their dinner including the wedding cake.
We were blessed with perfect weather that made the day wonderful and by the end of the night end up at the star bar with fire pit and more food. It was nice to have everything done in one place. To walk passed Icona on the beach and remember this special day will always filled our hearts with a smile. 💕

Wow! Our wedding at ICONA Diamond Beach was an absolute dream come true! From the moment we started planning Phil, Bree, and Riley were there to help every step of the way. The tents for cocktail hour and ballroom for our reception created an atmosphere that our guests are still raving about.
The venue's team went above and beyond to ensure every detail was flawless. They were incredibly attentive and accommodating, making the planning process smooth and stress-free.
The food was another highlight of the evening; our guests couldn't stop talking about how delicious everything was. The chef truly outdid themselves with a menu that catered perfectly to our tastes and dietary preferences.

From the minute we came to look at Icona Diamond Beach, we knew this was where we wanted to get married. It felt like you were at a destination wedding without having to leave NJ. Phil, Bree and Riley (the wedding coordinators) did such an amazing job leading up to the day of. We were constantly in touch vie email or phone and they were quick to respond and answer any questions we had and we had no doubt that the wedding would be amazing. We spent the weekend at Icona along with the majority of our guests and everyone loved it. All the amenities were great and the staff was awesome. The day of the wedding went off without a hitch and it all had to do with the amazing help of Bree and Phil. Everywhere you turned they were there making sure everything was ok or asking if we needed anything. They went above and beyond our expectations. The day after the wedding, we had so many guests tell us how great the food was, what a great place Icona was and how excellent the staff and service were. I would 100% recommend Icona Diamond Beach and wish I could relive our wedding there! Do yourself a favor and book this venue!

Better late than never! My husband Patrick and I got married June 23, 2023 at Icona Diamond Beach and it was the most amazing and special experience! I cannot say enough good things about ALL of Icona’s staff but a few to mention are our wedding coordinators, Phil and Riley. They were there for us every step of the planning process, answering all of our questions and accommodating all of our requests. They went above and beyond to make sure our day was nothing short of perfect (even with a ceremony location change last minute due to wind) they made our dream wedding happen. I had signs made for the bar and other areas in our reception that were forgotten at home and Riley took it upon herself to make new ones for me that day and it was the kindest gesture! She really made sure our wedding and reception decor were set up beautifully. The food and drinks were excellent. We got nothing but great feedback from our guests about our servers and bartenders at our reception. We also had our after party down at the Star Beach bar with appetizers for our guests and it was the perfect end to a beautiful day. Thank you all so much from the bottom of our hearts for all that you did to make our wedding a dream.

We got married at Icona on 10/13/2023. We booked with Phil and Riley in early Feburary 2023, without even seeing the venue. As someone who hated the wedding planning process and wanted to elope, Phil completed changed my view. Phil became a coach to me and my right hand. I called him crying one day because I just didn't know if I made the right choice (Sorry Phil, LOL)-- My advice to brides is: Book with Icona Diamond Beach for your wedding. Phil and Riley are absolute EXPERTS in what they do, constantly asking me if I needed anything. They were the best part of planning our wedding. I had alot of DIY decor and the entire team put everything where I wanted. They went above and beyond my expectations. Our guests raved about the food and not one person waited in line at the bar. I consider Phil and Riley friends now and I can't wait to repay them for the greatest day of my life.

We got married at Icona Diamond beach this past September and everything could not have been more perfect. Their team works so hard to make everything exactly how you want it and stress free! We had a lot of DIY decorations and they set everything up exactly how I wanted it. I was absolutely blown away at how accommodating they are and how special they not only made our wedding day but how they special they made us feel too. Also the food is incredible, my guests are still talking about how good it was a month later! I highly recommend having your wedding here, it was an absolute dream!

Our day ran beyond smooth with the help of them and the entire Icona staff. Our guests still talk about how amazing the food was. We did a duo plate to expand the party time as we had a live band and our timing was amazing!! Can not say enough good things !!!!

We are still on such a high from our phenomenal wedding at the ICONA Diamond Beach a few days ago! The venue was absolutely stunning and embodied the tropical island vibe that we wanted. All the food was delicious from the cocktail hour to the reception. We were getting constant feedback from the guests about how good the food was all night. And the bartenders kept up with a very lively group of guests! Phil and Riley were very accommodating in all aspects of planning, even when we had some last minute changes to guest counts and special entertainment additions. The guest rooms were beautiful, spacious and clean with very comfortable beds! We also used their preferred vendors (Angel of Love Officiant, Ken Schaffer Entertainment, Paula Cella Photography, Say I Do Hair and Makeup, The Bake Works) which was the best decision. They all did a phenomenal job in helping make our day so very special and fun.
We extended our stay with friends and family and continued the wedding celebration. Looking forward to coming back to the ICONA Diamond Beach again to relive all the amazing wedding memories. Thank you for everything!

Where do I even begin…we had our wedding at Icona Diamond Beach about 2 weeks ago and we are still blown away by how amazing of a venue it is. Not only is it stunningly beautiful and right on the beach, but Riley and Phil were amazing the work with and made sure our wedding day was everything we could’ve dreamed of. They were SO responsive. Even on the weekends and nights whenever we had a question or concern. They helped everything run so smooth down to the small details we wanted on our day. Riley and Phil really know what they’re doing and they both do an amazing job. There are many beautiful wedding venues out there, but their team is one in a million. If you are looking for a beautiful beach venue and zero stress…definitely book at the ICONA Diamond Beach

We can’t say thank you enough to Phil, Riley & the staff at ICONA Diamond Beach! Our wedding was everything we envisioned & more. Riley, Phil & the staff were all hands on deck making sure everything was taken care of & we had everything we needed. We had an extra windy day on the beach, so some of our decor had to be moved around to make more secure, Riley & Phil came up with perfect alternatives to still keep our vision. The food was AMAZING from the cocktail hour, to the dinner and even the after party, all our guest RAVED about it! If you’re looking for a beach wedding in NJ that has the feel of an island resort look no further. You will be in great hands with the team at ICONA Diamond Beach. Would 1000% highly recommend!!

Coming from New York, if you’re looking for a mini-destination wedding this is the place to be! Phil, Alyssa and Riley were helpful, kind, and accommodating to all our wedding wants and needs. When we booked the ICONA ballroom it was a sketch on paper. Through the entire planning process the whole team at the ICONA never made me (the bride) feel as if I needed to worry about a thing - and they were right! Our wedding day on July 17, 2022 was perfection, from start to finish. The day began in their Spalon room getting ready to the pavilion tent and beach walk for our first look. The ceremony on the beach was everything we wanted. Next, moving to the cocktail hour with relief from the sun in the open aired tent. We then moved to the beautifully renovated ballroom overlooking the ocean with floor to ceiling glass windows! Finally, our guests enjoyed an after party back down to the beach bar for cabanas, fire pits and late night snacks and drinks! I can not tell you how many guests raved about the food, hotel, and overall beach wedding experience. Thank you to everyone who made it all possible. We HIGHLY recommend having your dream wedding at ICONA Diamond Beach!

On June 4th, we had our dream wedding on the beach at Icona Diamond Beach in Wildwood NJ. It was difficult finding a venue in NJ that would host the ceremony, cocktail hour and reception on the beach, but after a lengthy search, we found Icona who offered it all! As many of our guests put it, it was a ‘local’ destination wedding, and on June 4th, it was truly magical! Our first impression of the venue was meeting with Alyssa. On our first visit, she toured us around the property, explained what the venue had to offer, but even with only a few dates left in 2022, Alyssa never made us feel pressured. When we finally decided on the venue, we worked with an initial coordinator, who later transitioned to Phil and Riley – the transition was smooth and seamless. For several months leading up to our wedding, Phil was available, attentive and accommodating, going above and beyond to ensure we didn’t have a worry on our special day. Every detail was accounted for by Phil and his team, from our rehearsal festivities the evening before, through our wedding day, afterparty and guest brunch the following morning. The team covered every detail. Although we envisioned a ‘small BBQ on the beach,’ we ended up with an amazing wedding weekend with our family and friends, all of whom have not yet stopped talking about the ‘best wedding ever’! Our day turned out to be so much more than we had ever expected, much of which was attributable to Phil and his team! We can’t thank Icona enough for all they’ve done, and would highly recommend Phil and team!

This location was absolutely amazing for our July 3rd wedding! The event coordinator Kira made the whole process extremely easy. We originally were supposed to get married July 2020 and had to postpone a year. Kira, Alyssa and Philip made the process of moving the wedding extremely easy for us. They were so helpful and put our mind at ease with all of our questions. Brides, they have a beautiful spalon for you and your party to get ready in! The food for the cocktail hour and reception was absolutely delicious. Every single one of our guests enjoyed the food so much! If you are looking for a full package of a beautiful beach for your day and amazing food Icona is the place!

The set up team made sure our wedding ceremony and reception were picture perfect and the cooking team made an absolute incredible feast of our stations themed as "Around The World"! On the day of the wedding, Phil, Kira, and Alyssa checked in multiple times to ensure everything was going well and to see if we needed anything, including making my husband and I plates of food and putting them at our sweetheart table so we could eat. We had an absolutely incredible wedding at Icona Diamond Beach!! It was so beautiful!

Icona just hosted my 40th birthday party on their Lani Rooftop. It was a beautiful ambiance overlooking the oceanfront. We were a party of 40 and the location was absolutely perfect. The private bartender was great and attended to our every need. The location has a tent with elegant string lights hanging which created the perfect backdrop as the sun was setting. Overall, the food, service, drinks and setting were fabulous. Everyone in attendance complimented the food which says a lot about their catering. I was extremely happy and truly appreciate how special they made this event for me.

I can not speak more highly of this venue! My husband and I had our reception here 9/12/2020, and somehow managed to escape to a paradise away from the pandemic in beautiful Wildwood Crest. Alyssa and Kira were absolute godsends from the minute we reached out to them. We had originally had a venue elsewhere for a date in May, but due to the pandemic were forced to re-schedule to September. When July came around our original venue was forcing us to reschedule again and that's when ICONA came to the rescue. From the second I walked into the lobby I had this gut feeling things were looking up and when I met Alyssa and walked to the tent on the beach it was written in stone! Something that stuck out to me was something my mom said to me before we finalized things. She asked if I would be as happy here as I would be at my original venue and my response was "Honestly, I wish I knew about this place when we were originally looking for venues, because this is everything I was trying to make the other place be". Simply put, ICONA unfortunately slipped under my original radar and thankfully was brought to my attention at the perfect time. It is what was meant to be!
We had the beautiful tropical wedding on the beach I had always dreamt of but was able to do so without traveling so that my family and friends could join (plus we couldn't travel because of the pandemic). We had two large open air tents to accommodate our around 150 guests. The smaller tent was used for our cocktail hour and then it switched into our bars and photo booth area for the reception. We had a live band, steel drums on the beach and finished off with an after party on the beach as well. The next morning we had a delicious breakfast buffet with all of our guests who stayed the night in the smaller tent.
I can not recommend this place and Alyssa and Kira enough! They helped pull together what I thought would be impossible in such a short timeframe. The event ran seamlessly and all the staff were excellent. The chef was even able to match our original menu (and actually perfect it) so that I wouldn't have to get new meal selections from the guests.
The pandemic may have squashed our original plans, but boy am I thankful they did because it led us to this dream wedding!

My husband and I had our wedding at the Icona on September 26th! It was the most beautiful and magical day! All of our guests continue to rave about the food, scenery, and hospitality provided by Kira, Alyssa, and their staff. Kira and Alyssa were so helpful and their attention to detail was spot on! They truly made our dream beach wedding come true! When it comes to beach weddings , the Icona is second to none without question! The brunch the next day was put together so nicely and decorated perfectly, using our decorations from the wedding! Again our guests raved about the delicious breakfast buffet! We will remember this day forever thanks to Kira, Alyssa, and the Icona staff!

My husband and I were so happy to host my daughter and her new husband's wedding at Icona. Her dream was to have a beach wedding. Icona hit the mark in every way. The care and detail put forth by Kira and Alyssa made for a beautiful wedding weekend. Throughout the planning process, we had many general questions and specific questions about the wedding ceremony and reception itself, and about the safety of our guests. Kira and Alyssa were able to help us in every way. They were extremely flexible and understanding . From our arrival on Thursday, through the after wedding breakfast on Saturday, Kira and her staff made us feel like we were the most important guests ever. We are still hearing rave reviews from family and friends about the wedding; from the delicious food and gracious service, to the beautiful location and once in a lifetime experience. Thank you!!!

We had our wedding on 9/25/2020 here and it was absolutely magical!! The venue and staff, especially the coordinators Kira and Alyssa were such a dream to work with and they all worked so hard to make our dream wedding come true. They were so flexible and easy with us when we needed to scale back our numbers to just family due to Covid and in scheduling a second event (a larger reception) for us next year when the rest of our friends can attend. Everyone who was there with us are still talking about how amazing and beautiful the wedding was! We cannot wait to come back in June, and probably every year after! Thanks ICONA!!!!

My fiancé and I had an original plan to get married in November of 2020, but due to covid we had to cancel. We were left in a scramble to get something together ASAP since, at the time, we could only do an outdoor wedding and chilly fall weather was right around the corner. We knew we wanted a beach wedding and Alyssa at Icona was amazing and so accommodating and made everything super easy! We had such a beautiful ceremony and an even more amazing reception under their rooftop tent. We truly could not have asked for anything better. Thank you alyssa and Kira for making a last minute wedding so magical. Can’t wait to come back to celebrate our anniversary!

This was a perfect specious beach venue to have a wedding during this pandemic. My daughter's September wedding was very small with just close family, yet Alyssa and Kira went above and beyond to make it a beautiful memory we will never forget! A lot of time and hard work that we really appreciate.

When beginning to plan our wedding over 2 years ago, we never thought that during the process we would have to reschedule or even change venue locations. Unfortunately, due to COVID, we needed to do just this. Our wedding planner- Michael from Weddings Down the Shore helped us come across ICONA and their team. Alyssa, Ashley, and Kira were so understanding and beyond helpful! Through all of the stress, ICONA was one thing we new would be for certain. ICONA was willing to work within our budget and made our wedding visions come to life. All of our guests loved the venue location and everyone rattled on about how great the food and drinks were!

Icona was an amazing venue for our wedding!! When we set out to get marriage this year we knew there were going to be many challenges to over come, facing the COVID-19 virus. Alyssa and her staff were awesome to work with and they were so accomendating. Alyssa never said "no" to whatever we asked of her and we are truly grateful to her and Icona for making our wedding day so special. Thank you very much!! Christina and Rick Kaye

This year has been insane with wedding planning for my sister and we were looking for a place to host a bachelorette party and ICONA made the planning and processing so easy. All of my questions were answered and I believe we had the most amazing waitress named Amber. She was the sole waitress for over 35 people and we never had to wait for anything. I still dont know how she did it all but I never in my life have had better service from a server in my life. I would go back just to see Amber! Thank you again for the time of our lives during 2020.

We were married at ICONA in September, and it was the most perfect day. Hope was absolutely amazing to work with, and her team was just as great. She helped us from day one to plan our dream day, and was there every step of the way. I had 100% confidence in Hope and her team, and they went above and beyond. I am so happy we chose ICONA, it was everything we dreamed of and more. I was so eager to post about our wonderful day that I had attempted to post this the next day from the airport before we left for our Honeymoon. Thank you to Hope and her team for making our beach wedding dreams come true, it was truly a weekend we will never forget.

We met with Hope to discuss with her about the possibility of Icona being our wedding venue. Hope was so impressive with her knowledge and ability to make us feel our day will be as special and stress free as we envision it that we left knowing Icona was where we would get married. We are looking forward to our special day, May 14th 2021 more than ever now!

The Icona Diamond Beach is a beautiful setting for a beach wedding! We were married at the Icona this past October, Hope and the entire staff are awesome and go above and beyond to make sure your day is perfect and fits your vision. Every question we had throughout Hope made herself available to answer. From the moment we arrived until we left the staff made us feel special and made sure we had what we needed. They did such a beautiful job with setting everything up, taking care of everything throughout and decorating our room to make our day even more special. The entire staff from the front desk, bartenders, servers, etc were great! The hotel accommodations are awesome. A guest had commented they were at a beach wedding at another venue and the accommodations were not nearly as nice. The setup with the palm trees, beach bar and pavilion make you feel like you are away at a tropical location. The food was delicious and staff friendly. Highly recommend! Thank you Icona for a fabulous day!

We had our wedding at the Icona in the beginning of October and it was a perfect day! The Icona was everything that we wanted for our wedding; a more relaxed vibe that was still elegant. Hope, Maria and all of the Icona staff members were wonderful. Our guests commented on how polite and attentive all of the staff members were. Our guests were also raving about the food afterwards. We couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out. Thank you Icona!

We are still on a high after having our daughter’s wedding at Icona Diamond Beach this past weekend. From the moment we met Hope, the Director of Sales, we knew we were in the most capable hands. Her commitment and attention to detail is top notch! She is professional and honest and has trained her staff to accommodate all of your needs. Maria, her assistant, also deserves a shoutout for her dedication and commitment to making her guests feel well taken care of. The property is perfect for a destination wedding. We never had to leave once we got there. From the rehearsal dinner on Friday to the Wedding on Saturday, and the send off breakfast on Sunday everything was perfect! The food was delicious the whole weekend. The accommodations are very comfortable and the rooms were spotless. You can’t ask for anything more.
Once again, dealing with Hope is a pleasure and we would highly recommend this property for beautiful, memorable weddings!

Where to begin? From the moment my now husband (!) and mom met Hope, we knew we couldn't have our wedding anywhere else. In fact, we had a few other appointments after meeting her that we canceled. Icona Diamond Beach created and executed our dream wedding from start to finish. From the valet guys to the front desk staff to the bartenders, Hope and the entire Icona team could not have been more welcoming, professional and all out rock stars. There was no whim or idea they couldn't accommodate or execute and they had thoughtful solutions to every challenge that came up. The setting is breathtaking, the food is delicious, the service is 5 star and Hope delivered above and beyond. We couldn't be happier with all aspects of our wedding weekend and highly recommend this venue for any couple that expects excellence.

I am so happy my husband and I decided to have our wedding at Diamond Beach. The staff spoiled us and our guests. We received so many compliments on how much fun they had and how good the food was. I would especially like to thank Hope for the time you spent with me and all the little details I would have never thought of, also your help with some of my vendors. Not living in this area, it was a big help. Your staff made our Wedding Day everything I dreamed it would be. We are planning to spend our first anniversary at the Diamond Beach!

I had the most beautiful day of my life at Icona. It was so much more then the Hotel and the beach. It was the help from Hope, the coordinator, to the servers. They made the rehearsal dinner and ceremony just perfect. COULD NOT HAVE DONE IT WITHOUT ICONA!!
Now, one year later they are helping me plan a perfect surpise anniversary dinner on the beach!!

I just have to say I had the most incredible wedding at Icona. The venue is like paradise. You walk down the ramp that has palm trees lined down both sides. I felt like we were on a private island somewhere. Then you step into the tent... The staff of Icona transformed it into the perfect wedding for us. The manager Hope and her wonderful staff made our night memorable. They didn’t skip a beat in making sure we received the utmost care. I would highly recommend Diamond Beach for anyone that has an upcoming wedding. You won’t be disappointed!

Our wedding at ICONA Diamond Beach could not have been more magical. We wanted a more laid back wedding with some elegance. That’s exactly what we got and more! Hope, her assistant Maria, and the rest of the ICONA staff made our day seriously magical. We loved working with Hope and she made sure that our vision came to life! The morning of our wedding, we got news that our florist had a medical emergency and that the status of all of our flowers was unknown. Hope made several phone calls and got other local florists, on a Sunday, to go to the shop and make our arrangements! It was absolutely incredible and we’re so very grateful. Our guests can’t stop raving about our wedding! The food was top notch and the staff loaded everything back into our cars at the end of the night. Talk about amazing service! Thank you to Hope, a Maria and the rest of the ICONA staff for giving us the wedding of our dreams!

I recently had my wedding at Icona Diamond Beach on Thursday September 19th, 2019. I can't begin to thank the whole staff and Hope enough. We couldn't of asked for a better night! The entire process from start to end went by seamlessly and that is greatly appreciated as weddings can be very stressful. Being the groom, I'm sure I drove her nuts of course, but Hope was there every step of the way and was able to cater to any need or request that the bride, myself, and all of my guest required. Thank you all for such a memorable night!

We had an intimate wedding ceremony beachside at the Icona Diamond Beach in late September. It was the best day of our lives. From start to finish the staff at Icona went above and beyond to make our big day more than I had ever imagined my wedding day to be. After the ceremony our guests were lightly whisked away to cocktail hour where they enjoyed our signature drinks and the most delicious Hors d’oeuvres while listening to the violinist play. Just as the venue organically provided a class and elegance for our reception; the Icona catering staff ensured every single guest felt special and were treated with the same level of class and elegance in every action they took. Every time we went in the lobby, the front desk staff Carol, Sue, and Emily were ready to serve with a smile; (as a Bride) I walked through the Icona feeling as if it was my palace and everyone would do anything at the drop of a dime to make our big day that much more amazing, and they did! The bartender at our reception and bartender for our S’mores Situation would have drinks ready before our guests even went up to the bar for a second time; as they quickly learned what drinks our guests wanted. Our reception bartender didn’t have grenadine for Shirley Temples (a wedding staple for “fun” kid drinks in our family) but he quickly took the extra step every time to mash up cherries and make the delicious Shirley Temples. Last but not least, the Icona Wedding Coordinators Assistant Maria; Maria executed our wedding detailed plan flawlessly. Maria waited on us and our guests in a way that can only be described as perfect, she was there every time we turned around, with the perfect amount of distance. Marias excitement and attention to detail made it feel as if our wedding day in Marias’ mind was equally important as her own wedding day. Thank you Icona for ensuring the best day of our life will never be forgotten.
