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 o...
n 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!
'Absolutely AMAZING!!! I can't say thank you enough to Philip, Riley and the rest of the staff at ICONA. Our wedding was just how we envisioned it and as the bride I was actually able to enjoy my day because the staff at ICONA was on top of eve...
rything! From the moment we contacted them about our wedding, they have been wonderful and so incredibly accommodating. All my guests RAVED about how delicious the food was and many said it was one of the best and most fun weddings they have ever been to! If you are looking for a beach wedding with an awesome team that will work with you every step of the way then look no further. You won't be disappointed!!! Thank you, ICONA!
Absolute perfection!! our pirate themed wedding was spectacular at Icona Diamond beach. we were treated like royalty by Phil and Riley at the venue. no matter the request or endless changes they made it easy. they even upgraded our tent when th...
ey thought it would work better for the wedding. every single detail, every step of the way the team at Icona we’re there for us. and the FOOD!! i mean we had some harsh judges with a big Italian family and they were all blown away by the food and the beauty of the venue. we heard. Best Wedding Ever and unforgettable from all our guests. i would get married there 10 more times if i could. lol. highly recommend and i could give them 200 stars i would!!
We were married 6/23/22. We could not have had a more perfect day. Our day was everything we wanted thanks to Icona. Phil and Riley were so awesome to work with. We had to worry about nothing. If your wanting a beach wedding I recommend Icona 1...
00%. The scenery the atmosphere we felt like we were on a tropical island right here in our home town. Thank you so much Icona and to Phil and Riley for giving us the perfect wedding and a lifetime of beautiful memories.
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!
My husband and I got married here early September! We couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful place to become husband and wife! We thank Kira Evans , our wedding planner, for making all of our dreams come true! It was all perfectly magical and...
Kira was always right there whenever we needed her! The rest of the staff was always helpful and professional! We definitely plan on staying at icona in the future and we can’t wait!
Had our dream wedding at the Icona this past weekend and I can not saying less than amazing things. If you're looking for beach wedding in NJ that feels like you're on an island, this is your place. Everything from the staff, (Kira is AMAZING) ...
the food, the flexibility, the accommodations, were more than I could have ever dreamed.
We had the most wonderful time of our lives at ICONA! The location is fabulous for a beach wedding, but the staff is the key ingredient for making our wedding so memorable!

ade everything flow beautifully!
You’re in good hands if you plan your wedding here at ICONA with this fantastic staff! 100% satisfied!
Loved the time we had there!
We recently held our wedding at Icona Diamond Beach, and our small reception on the rooftop Lanai. Beautiful venue, excellent food, and I can’t speak more highly of Kira and Phil. They went out of their way to make our day incredibly special. ...
Everyone raved about the food, the venue, and the cake!
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 p...
rocess 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!
Icona Diamond Beach was perfect for our wedding! Kira and Phil were so helpful and willing to answer all of our questions and work with all of our requests! The set up team made sure our wedding ceremony and reception were picture perfect and t...
he 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 nee...
d. 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.
Overall, I would not recommend the ICONA Diamond Beach for your wedding venue. With that said, it is a beautiful place. It is right on the beach, so it is extremely scenic and the perfect place for pictures. However, my fiance and I had a very ...
difficult time working with the staff at this venue. The professionalism is something that we struggled with the most. The team would hardly ever respond to our emails, texts, or phone calls in an efficient manner. At least two to three follow-ups would always be necessary (even in the weeks leading up to the wedding). At the end of the day, I felt like it was a very expensive venue and the service that came along with it did not match the price. The staff, cost, room block team, etc. added an additional level of stress to the wedding planning process. The hotel would not even allow for my husband and I to have a "late" check-out time (one additional hour - 11 AM) the day after our wedding so that we could attend our post-wedding brunch and leave our bags in our hotel room. It is important to know in advance that they will nickel and dime you for everything.
Exceeded our expectations!! 5 stars +!! My husband and I as well as all of our friends and family have not stopped raving about our reception venue at Icona! The staff, food and venue were amazing and we couldn't have imagined anything better. ...
Kira, our event coordinator, was always so attentive and helped me work through any kinks along the way of our planning process! We highly recommend Icona Diamond Beach time and time again!
Thank you to Kira and the entire staff for creating an unforgettable wedding event for my daughter and husband.
The extra attention to detail , coupled with great food , spectacular setting and beautiful rooms and restaurant is a lifetime memor...
y. I appreciate you going above and beyond to make this such a special day.

After having a few dates with covid, we finally celebrated our wedding Sunday May 16, 2021 at Icona Diamond Beach. Kira was absolutely amazing and all the other staff went above and beyond to make this special for me from the beginning! I could...
n’t of asked for a better wedding if I tried! Can’t wait to stay here again! My guest having been raving about everything!! Thank you again to everyone at the ICONA!!
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 Alys...
sa 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 w...
eekend. 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 f...
lexible 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 weath...
er 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 acc...
omendating. 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 amazi...
ng 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 knowin...
g 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 quest...
ion 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 wonde...

Icona was everything we were looking for in a beach wedding! The food was amazing and still hot when it was served! All my guest‘s enjoyed their stay at the hotel! From the front desk to the bartenders everyone was amazing and so pleasant when ...
they greeted you! I couldn’t be happier with our wedding experience at Icona! The day was so magical!
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 no...
tch! 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 WIT...

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 s...
taff 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 m...
agical. 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 wed...
ding 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.
Our big day was perfection from start to finish.
Hope, thank you from the bottom of my heart for making our wedding day dreams come true. The execution of all details to our day speaks volumes about the dedication of the ICONA team as every n...

if you aren’t either the Icona is more than perfect for you to choose. The Icona is definitely the best venue for a beach wedding and having the reception on the beach too! They set everything up beautifully to make you feel like you are indoors! From the wedding coordinators, to assistants, to wait staff, bartenders, & the women and men in the lobby they all go above and beyond to get you what you need just to make sure your stay and events are everything you wanted and more, and ours sure was! From the 4 night stay and the wedding day we couldn’t be happier with choosing the Icona at diamond beach.

planning of my wedding which earned me the title of "groomzilla" I was tasked of getting the countless pinterest boards on our phones and making them a reality. Hope was there every step along the way to make sure the vision was exactly as pictured the day of. From the ease of setting up to me waking up the next day and finding everything was neatly and thoughtfully loaded into my vehicle. I can't say enough about Hope and her team at ICONA. If we had to do it all over again we wouldn't have changed a single thing. They made the most important day of our lives perfect.
All the best,

If you want a destination wedding on the beach, without the airfare, then Icona, Diamond Beach, Wildwood Crest, NJ is the place to go! Hope Sedgwick and her team were remarkable. My daughter’s wedding, on September 14th, was nothing short of m...
agical! The venue is incredible – you will think you have been transported to an island resort. The staff, under Hope’s leadership was remarkable; professional, competent, and gracious. Two things stand out to me as exemplary about choosing Hope and Icona. We had a 3-day event (Meet and Great on Friday Night, Beach Ceremony, Reception, After Party on Saturday, and Brunch on Sunday) and despite the fact that there were 3 weddings going on that weekend, our 3-day event was 100% PRIVATE! How Hope pulls this off is pretty incredible and without a doubt worthy of my highest recommendation. Secondly is the uniqueness and individuality of the entire experience. My Daughter and Son-in-Law truly were the architects of their wedding. The freedom afforded them, with the guidance and assistance of Hope Sedgwick, allowed them to create and execute their very personal and very special, wedding experience. No other venue we had explored on the south jersey coast even came close to offering that! Kudos and 5 STARS all around!!!!!
Our daughter’s wedding was held 9/13/19. Hope at Icona Diamond Beach worked with us throughout to ensure her day was perfect. Not only did she talk with us a lot prior to the day and email us, she was on-site the night before and the whole day....
Everything was on-site, rehearsal dinner, preparation room, beach ceremony, cocktail hour, reception and after party with fire pits and s’mores. It was spectacular and this team was so very supportive and helpful. They treated us like family and we have forever bonded with so many of the staff. We are thankful this venue is here and would highly recommend it to anyone wanting a beach wedding in the perfect location. Our guests could not stop telling us how much they loved it!!
My daughter's wedding on 9/7/2019 was absolutely magical. Beautiful beach ceremony and we had the pavilion and an additional tent on the beach to accommodate all our guests. It was breathtaking. Hope was so patient with all our questions/emails...
and we followed her suggestions when it came to making decisions and it couldnt have turned out any better. Our guests raved about the beauty of the venue and the food was amazing. Hope , Maria and her staff went above and beyond in service and hospitality. So many said it was the best wedding they had ever been to.
We just got married at Icona and have nothing but amazing things to say. Between the service, staff, coordination, food, uplighting, ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception, everything was phenomenal. All of our guests complimented everything ov...

Just had my daughter's wedding on the beach on sept 7, 2019 and it was the most PERFECT wedding ever. Hope and her staff worked hard to make sure every detail was just the way we wanted and Hope was exceptionally patient with our questions and...
emails. The pavilion and the additional dinner tent were spectacular and guests could not stop raving about the beauty of the venue as well as the food. All the staff was extremely friendly and helpful. To say we were happy is an understatement. We are so happy we chose Icona.
Thank you so much Hope.
We had our wedding here yesterday (9/7/19) and we were blown away at how perfect everything was. From the decor details, to the amazing food, to the service, everything was absolutely perfect. Hope worked with us from day one on making sure eve...
ry question was answered and she made sure everything was exactly as we wanted. Her assistant Maria worked her butt off that day and someone was always available to help our guests. Most people say that you don’t even get to try the food at your own wedding because of how busy you are, but we sure did and it was A-mazing. Our guests complemented every aspect of the wedding. Would 100% recommend getting married here in a heartbeat. Thank you Hope, Maria, and the rest of the Icona team!
My husband and I got married at the Icona Diamond Beach 8/24/19. It was the best, most magical day ever and that was all because of the staff and Hope! I had multiple guest tell me that it was the best wedding they ever attended. Along with t...
he amazing staff, you are also blessed with stunning views and delicious food. I had guest tell me they never had so many people come up to them with food at any other cocktail hour they attended and how it was absolutely delicious!! Everyone was so accommodating and if I could go back and relive that day over and over, I would! Thank you again to the Icona ❤️
Icona Diamond Beach was an incredible place for our wedding! From the minute we pulled into the hotel our experience was flawless. Will & Matt at valet not only greeted us with smiles but went above and beyond to assist us with our belongings a...
nd all our wedding décor. Upon checkin, Steve at the front desk made sure we were comfortable in our rooms and was super helpful handing out welcome bags to our guests. The service at Coastal Blue and Star Bar was spectacular! Zach & Mitch were attentive and friendly, our stomachs always full & our drinks never empty! The drinks – amazing! Our bartenders Lou & Greg knew us by name and made us the perfect signature cocktails!
Last, but certainly not least, there’s Hope & her team. Wedding planning can be stressful and having Hope’s support throughout the process was a tremendous help. She worked with us to create bespoke menu items and always came to the table with unique suggestions. Hope and her team worked seamlessly with our vendors, set-up all our decor and really brought our ideas to life. The level of detail, organization and finishing touches were perfection!
Ultimately, the Icona exceeded our expectations. We couldn’t have dreamed of a better day!
Our daughter was recently married on the beach at the Hotel Icona and I must say it was the most wonderful experience. Everything went smoothly and Hope, Summer, and the all of the staff that made this day special for the bride, groom, and all...
the guests, should be applauded for their exceptional service and attention to every detail that made the day so special! I know that all in attendance raved about the food and the said the setting was perfect! I would not hesitate to recommend the Hotel Icona Diamond Beach!!!

Our daughter’s wedding was May 18th. Guests came from as far as Australia and Japan. Everyone had an excellent time. Icona by far was the best possible venue we considered throughout all of Cape May County and the general City of Philadelphia ...
area. Icona was very accommodating to our variety of needs and met every want and desire we had and made us feel special in the process. And all of it was possible thanks to Hope Sedgwick who is clearly a seasoned professional. From the beginning, she guided us step by step, collaborating where we needed her ideas and suggestions, allowing us to think big while staying on budget, keeping us on schedule, and extending her network of other wedding service professionals (baker, DJ, etc). Catering to a variety of cultural and culinary differences, Hope and her team made us and our family feel at home. We were able to enjoy every moment of the special weekend. True to her depth of experience, Hope worked with the bride to help her vision come true in a way that was creative and smart (after all we did not have a limitless budget). Who would have thought every detail could have been managed and predicted, but sure enough come to find out that Hope even had a speed dial connection to Mother Nature with weather — the Icona displayed all its glory in what had to be the most perfect weather ... making the celebration that much more magical.
My husband and I had our reception at ICONA Diamond Beach on June 1, 2019. We could not have been happier with both coordinators Hope and Summer and the rest of the ICONA staff who handled everything flawlessly from the day we booked to the day...
after the reception. Hope and Summer were incredibly attentive and got back to us immediately whenever we had questions. They were so helpful and both had excellent ideas for the food and layout details.
Our reception was absolutely beautiful and the food was amazing! This venue makes you feel like you’re in the Caribbean. While we were given several options for food arrangements, we went with passed hors d'oeuvres during the cocktail hour, steak and crab cake for the reception and pizza and s’mores for our after party at the Star Bar. We received countless compliments from our guests on both the venue and the food. Several of our guests even said it was the best wedding they had ever been to.
The day could not have gone better and we are so happy with how it turned out. We had so much fun, it was truly the best day ever!
I attended a wedding Memorial Day weekend at diamond beach and I am absolutely blown away. The food was great, the staff was wonderful. My grandfather is 87 years old and the staff accommodated us in every way possible. The tent was stunning, a...

I worked with Hope and ICONA recently on a beach wedding. As an event planner, it was a well done wedding. As with any event, there were hiccups, but they always worked double time to fix them. They have a private beach (which is a huge bonus, ...
a lot of beach venues don’t, so you’re trying to make vacationers move so they’re not in the photos). Hope was efficient, and so was her staff. The meal was served flawlessly. The food was delicious, and they we’re easy to work with to make my, and the other vendors’, jobs easier. They managed to do this while we were dealing with tornado-watch level weather. Also- their hotel rooms include a small kitchenette, which is fabulous for anyone going to a wedding. I’d highly recommend Hope and her team for anyone looking for a beach wedding.
My DREAM wedding was here 05/16, they exceeded my expectations, I considered myself a “ difficult” bride and they worked w me to make my dream/ ideas come to life for my wonderful wedding !! The staff is friendly and very attentive!! Hope & Sum...

Hi! I had the most amazing wedding last Sunday (5/19/19) on the beach at Icona! Hope and Summer made planning so easy! I’m the type who procrastinated and takes my time doing things but they kept me on my toes and made sure that I had everythin...
g done in time. They are so organized and so helpful. Every question that I asked, they had an answer. Everything went better than planned and the day was magical. My groom had a mishap with the tuxes and was freaking out a bit because mens wearhouse messes up at least one piece of each of the men in the wedding party’s tuxes. They, being men, didn’t check anything before the morning of the wedding. Hope helped make everything as easy as possible and even delivered messages when necessary. She helped calm him. She worked super well with the photo/videographers and with the dj. The flower and cake delivery went without a hitch. She had tips for leading up to the wedding and tips for the day of. She knew what to do in every situation. She’s literally a pro and a half. And summer is great too. She’s sweet and she’s helpful and great with the organization stuff and helped us get to the big day. The two of them just made everything so easy. I really appreciate all that they did. If I could shout it loud enough for every bride to hear, I would: THIS IS THE PLACE TO HAVE YOUR BEACH WEDDING. On top of it all, for such amazing ness, they don’t charge an arm and a leg. They work with you and set up a payment plan too, so you don’t have to pay everything when you book. They show you ways to cut other costs. It’s awesome and I love it! I got married at Icona diamond beach and I wouldn't have done it any other way!!
Thank you so much Hope and Summer!
We had our wedding at the Icona, Diamond Beach Resort on May 18, 2019. As the groom and I wanted was to have my bride have her dream come true, and thanks to Hope Sedgwick and Summer Meer my bride’s dream became a reality.

I recently got married (May 18, 2019) at the Icona at Diamond Beach, NJ. It was truly the best day ever!

the Icona to anyone that wants their wedding day to be beautiful and top notch. From the added touches to the gorgeous reception tent on the third floor roof top lanai; the food and beverages; the service and eye for detail. We are thrilled! Thank you to everyone involved in making the Kelly Kindon Wedding the most perfect day possible.

Icona Diamond Beach was perfect for our wedding and we’d highly recommend them. We hosted our big day there in September 2018 and were thrilled with how everything turned out. If we could do it all over again, we wouldn’t go anywhere else.

ng your wedding at Icona starts with working with the Director of Sales, Hope. Working with Hope was like having your own wedding planner, and she and her staff do a terrific job. From the very beginning they demonstrate a strong desire and commitment to make every wedding unique and to fit the vision and wants for every Bride and Groom. They communicate well throughout the entire process, help to plan every little detail, and work with you to deliver what you want considering any financial limitations as well.
Then, the terrific support and hard work from the venue and its staff continued up through the wedding day. At our wedding, everything went as planned or better. The staff worked hard to set up the space and serve our guests in a way that exceeded expectations. Additionally, Icona does a great job coordinating with vendors (band/dj, florist, photographer, etc.) so that everything came together seamlessly. The food was incredible as well. Icona works with you to create a menu with exactly what you want on it, and in the end there were several options that our guests all raved about.
Looking back on our experience, it was perfect. We were very happy that we choose Icona and it was a pleasure working with them.
My Husband and I decided to have our wedding at the Icona Diamond Beach. What an amazing choice that was. Hope Sedgwick and her entire staff made everything run smoothly, flawlessly and amazingly through the entire process. From the time we met...
in May 2017 to the planning process being 160 miles away. Hope and her staff were able to make our dream wedding a reality. Even though my wedding happened to fall on Hope’s birthday – she stayed around from early morning until the very end to make sure we were all taken care of. True commitment! Every one of our guests of friends and family are still raving about the venue, the food, the staff!!! You definitely do not feel like you are in NJ when you are at this venue. The rooms are all beautifully renovated and will definitely be coming back for our anniversary!
Hope Sedgwick and her staff are incredible. Everyone has a smile on and is so pleasant and professional. Hope accommodated our every wish and produced a wedding that all our guests raved about. The chef at the Icona is simply fantastic. Highly...

n personal touches to enhance the day even more. We booked this venue in December and Hope was attentive and in contact with me regularly to make me feel like I was the only bride all summer. All my guests raves over the food, venue, and hotel. Many guests have told us this was the best event they have ever been to. Special shout out goes to the bartenders Lou, Lizette, and Mario for their fantastic work as well. We truly feel that we are now part of the Icona family. Thanks again!
We had our daughter’s wedding at the ICONA Diamond Beach on Sept 15,2018. The wedding was the best ever. I would give it a 10 star rating it was possible. We worked directly with Hope Sedgwick, the Manager of the special events activities. Hope...
is amazing!! She paid attention to every detail and even worked directly with some of the "outside" vendors to make sure everything was perfect. Hope spent the whole evening at the wedding from early in the morning until late at night. Her staff was also excellent and I got so many nice comments about the staff. The food was great and was even better than expected. All of the planning came together the last few days when the logistics came together. A major part of the great venue was due to John Allison, General Manager. John and his team made sure everything was the way we wanted it, even if it meant re-doing some of the completed work.
I can't say enough about Hope, John, the servers, the bar tenders and the entire staff. To sum up, Hope made it all happen, and John came in to make the requested last minute changes.
Thank you Hope and John!
Everything was excellent.
My husband and I had our wedding planned for 3 years with the help of our lovely coordinator Hope. About 9 months from our wedding date we had a fire in our home which consumed almost all of our savings which were meant for our wedding receptio...
n. We did have to cancel the reception but Hope was gracious enough to offer us to continue the ceremony as planned. It turned out to be amazing. Actually better than my vision. I cannot say enough good about the way everything hapened. Weddings are crazy, they just are. Icona smoothed all the ruff edges. Thank you Hope and Maria!!!!!!!
If you're looking for a beach wedding, Icona is the only choice. Hope and her team are truly something special, as is the venue itself--Palm tree lined walkway to the reception tents and beach bar/lounge (which plays amazing music), the ability...
to rent out a glamorized life guard stand if you're heading to the beach for the day. You feel like you're in a tropical hot spot. My husband and I wanted a full throw down of a party, and Hope made sure it could happen. She's an advocate for your wants and needs and makes sure "your day" is the best day. She goes above and beyond, as does the entire hospitality team. They're all genuinely friendly and accommodating. From ceremony to after party (and next morning brunch), everything was beautiful and amazing. I cannot rave enough about our whole wedding expereince. THANK YOU, HOPE & ICONA!

the entire affair from beginning to end! Hope Sedgwick and her assistant Maria were so helpful throughout the entire planning and execution process. The food, cake and entire staff were amazing! The venue was beautiful and the palm trees and outdoor bar made us feel like we were at island resort. It truly was a perfect day for us and we are thankful that we chose the Icona to have it. We can't say enough about our experience. The unexpected plus was our beach jeep ride to get married. The waitresses, waiters, and bartenders were magnificent too! Thank you all for contributing to our special day!
Getting married at Icona Diamond Beach was no short than absolute perfection. From the beginning moment of walking down the isle to ending the night around the fire pit there was no detail left unturned. The staff was fantastic and the food wa...

It was actually truly amazing to be on the beach in the middle of a storm it was like a fairytale. The food was fantastic and everyone was raving about everything. All of our guests said this was the best way to do a wedding. FANTASTIC!!! WE WANT TO THANK EVERYONE THAT WAS INVOLVED in our special day and it would not have been the same anywhere else.

I want to thank Nicole at the front desk for helping us every time we walked thru the door. The staff assisted with setting everything up after given directions so I could get ready in a beautiful suite with everything we needed. I could not have asked for a more perfect day. Thanks again to Hope and her amazing team dedicated to making a bride's day at ease.
I got married here over Columbus Day weekend and it was absolutely amazing. My (now) husband and I were looking for a beach location close to Cape May. We found Icona, planned a trip for a visit and immediately fell in love with the venue. Ever...
ything is done on the beach: the ceremony, cocktail hour, and the reception. This was the only venue we visited that could offer this. When planning our event with Hope, she was more than helpful with event details, rehearsal, day-of planning, etc. The day of event manager, Maria, made sure that we were taken care of, they even put food we weren't able to finish or get to the day of in our room to enjoy over the rest of our stay. It was truly the best day of our lives! Thanks Icona!
Hope and the team were extremely helpful from the day we met all the way through the day of our wedding. The location, staff, food, and amenities were all first class. Our wedding was everything we could have hoped for and more!
I was a bride last year and I want to personally thank Hope and her team for the best day of my life! They made me and my guest feel so special and I couldn't of asked for a better reception. You all deserve to be rewarded for all your hard wor...

I used Joyce Gould as my officiant and couldn't be happier! Thank you Hope and Maria and the staff of Icona for making my wedding weekend the best ever for me and my guests!!
What an awesome venue! If you envision a beach wedding, please do yourself a favor and at least visit Icona and meet with Hope. When we first met with Hope we were in the very beginning stages of wedding planning, and not necessarily ready to b...
ook a venue. However, from that first meeting my mom, fiance, and I knew Icona was THE venue for us. We made it very clear from the beginning we were very budget conscious, but that did not stop Hope from making every detail for the most perfect wedding possible. Hope was always available to talk via email, phone, or text and ready to work with us and provide suggestions on anything wedding. Every Icona staff member we dealt with from beginning to end was super welcoming and accommodating. Hope and her assistant Maria made the day of the wedding run smoothly and made themselves available in any way possible to make the day stress free and made sure we had the best time imaginable. Hope and Maria’s presence on our wedding day was such a great help :) - Maria made me and my husband’s dinner plate and brought it to our table and continually checked on us throughout the night. Hope made sure our presents and card box stayed together and made it to our room safely, along with all of our decorations and belongings. Icona staff broke down all the decorations and organized them for us and stored them in a room for the night. A few of our family members and Hope decorated the reception tent and I gave Hope the go-ahead to use her judgment on how it should be decorated, and I literally could not have been happier with the finished product. Not only were we given a complimentary hotel room for the night of the wedding, a large “get ready room” was made available for me and my bridesmaids to get our hair and makeup done in the morning. The room was large enough to fit the entire bridal party, along with other wedding guests, in for pre-ceremony festivities. Hope, you made anything possible for us, thank you, thank you, thank you!
Wow. Me and my husband how the most beautiful wedding here last night. Thank you so much to Hope and the entire Icona staff for making it perfect. Everyone was so friendly and eager to make my day so special. The food was just as good if not be...
tter than from our tasting, everything plus more was that promised was delivered on our day. The rooms here are fantastic, the beach bar is awesome, the ceremony set is up is out is a magazine, and when the pavilion is finally all set and ready to go it looks like a dream. Everyone kept telling us they felt like they were in a carribean island, great alternative if you are going for the destination look type wedding but can't travel to an island! Hope, the event coordinator here was awesome as well as her assistant, when I needed something done it was taken care of from coordinating the ceremony, to the photographer, to making requests to the DJ, always making sure there was a drinks in our hands, even to the final hour of a private bonfire and smores! Cannot thank them enough and had the most beautiful, and absolutely perfect wedding and even rehearsal dinner here as well which they did phenomal job with the night before on their rooftop! Highly would recommend to any bride looking for a laid back, beautiful and awesome wedding. A million thank you's Icona Diamond beach!!!
My wedding at Icona was absolutely perfect. We had a small intimate wedding that we planned only 2 month prior. Hope was not only accommodating and sweet, but she made sure that we didn't miss one detail. (She even helped us decorate with he...
r own awesome beach decor)
The setting was beautiful, the food and drinks were delicious, and the staff was on top of every need with a smile. After the reception we had smores by the fire pit.. it couldn't be more perfect and organized.
My husband and I plan on returning yearly to bring together family and friends in remembrance of such a picture perfect event.
My best friend was married here in August. She has a small group & Hope was amazing to work with!!! The service was impeccable and we all wanted for nothing. I would recommend this place & Hope to anyone!!!
We were married at the Hotel Icona at Diamond Beach this past Saturday and I still have a smile plastered to my face. Not only because I married the love of my life but because of Hope and her wonderful staff, especially Maria, at the Icona. T...
hey honestly exceeded my expectations on every level. From their wonderful suggestions, professional service, helpfulness, attentiveness,...we couldn't have asked for more. The day started out as a wash out. It rained up until 3:15 (our ceremony was scheduled to be on the beach at 4pm). Hope reassured me all day that it would be beautiful no matter what and she was right. The minute the rain gave way, Hope and her staff were out there setting up chairs, decorations, the wedding arbor.. she was determined to give us the wedding of our dreams and she did that and more.
Our guests were raving over the food, decorations, venue, hotel, staff, drinks.... a few said they felt like they were in the tropics somewhere and not the Jersey shore. It was an AMAZING day thanks to Hope and the Icona staff. I would recommend them to anyone who asked.
5 stars without a doubt on all levels. I wouldn't change a thing! well except for more hairspray...the ocean breeze felt wonderful but my hair style didn't stand a chance :) HIGHLY RECOMMEND THE HOTEL ICONA!
