ICONA Diamond Beach

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!

HOUT ICONA!! Now, one year later they are helping me plan a perfect surpise anniversary dinner on the beach!!

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!

edding day.

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!

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!

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.

eed was met for Erik and I, and our guests. You and your team cultivated a truly magical event. Xo Stephanie and Erik

t above & beyond to make this special day everything my daughter dreamed of! If you are planning a beach wedding, this is the place to have it! The entire wedding was exceptional! Thank you Hope from the bottom of our hearts. Connie & Rich

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.

ach wedding destination in NJ, this is definitely the place!

nnot praise Hope Sedgewick our event coordinator or thank her enough. From beginning to end she made everything sail with ease . This lady is on point and doesn’t miss a beat. You d be lucky to have her . Her staff was attentive , kind and professional . The Icona is a magical place to stay or throw the PERFECT WEDDING EVER! Thanks again Hope and staff.

is venue for a wedding!

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, Groomzilla

ely perfect and everyone got to wind down with the fire pits and s’mores at the end of the night they were such a big hit! This was not only an absolutely beautiful wedding but an amazing family vacation where even the kids are welcomed. Thank you to everyone at the Icona.

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!!!!!

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!!

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.

er and over again! Every detail was planned extremely thorough thanks to Hope and her team! Thank you, all!

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.

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!

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 ❤️

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!

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!!!

nyone planning a wedding! One of those days you want to do over and over!

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.

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!

nd right on the beach. I highly recommend this venue!

nd!!

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.

mer are amazing at what they do and I recommend working w them and having your dream wedding come to life here at Icona !

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!

e so professional, knowledgeable and detailed oriented that nothing was over looked. If we could give a higher rating to Hope and Summer we would give them a 10+. Thanks to both Hope and Summer my bride finally got her Best Day Ever!

e last drink at my after party was served. They took my dream and made it a reality so I could have my happy ever! My guest were so impressed with all the details but more so the fact that they pulled off my vision. Hope and Summer made my wedding the best day ever! I highly recommend the Icona but more so Hope and or Summer.

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.

s the perfect receiving room for our guests. Forever grateful to ICONA for making our wedding day spectacular!

purchased seashells for because I had mentioned that I had forgotten my own. We all had such a wonderful night! I’m very happy we chose Icona Diamond Beach for our wedding.

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.

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!

recommend.

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!

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.

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!!!!!!!

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!

s delicious. I couldn’t have asked for a more perfect venue and perfect night. I highly recommend Icona Diamond Beach.

ence fun and enjoyable. We had a very small intimate wedding, and they made sure we had the complete wedding experience. The service was impeccable and the food couldn’t have been any better. Our families are still talking about how amazing the experience was. We are so happy with our decion to have our wedding at Icona Diamond Beach, and will look back on our wedding there as the best day of our lives. If you choose to have your wedding at Icona Diamond Beach you will not be disappointed.

ed by a magnificent ceremony on the beach on our wedding day. Perfect food, ambiance service. Plated filet and crabcake was delicious. Outdoor weddings are the best and weather was perfect in early July. After-bar with fire pits, pizza, s’mores kit was a great touch. Highly recommend

next to the beach bar. According to our 100+ guests, the food was incredible, staff amazing and appearance georgious. Hope and her team ensured everything went off without a hitch!

ofessionalism. My wife and I enjoyed a beach ceremony and a beach pavilion reception. Then we enjoyed a smores fire pit after party with our friends and family. The look and atmosphere would make you think that you were on a tropical island! The entire experience from start to finish was smooth and easy. The resort, rooms, beach, food, drinks and staff were excellent. I would highly recommend Hope and Icona to anyone looking for their dream wedding.

gements with Petals, DJ Ken Schaffer, Baked goodies from A Piece Of Cake, and Photography Shaun Reilly, Hope made sure we had everything put together on the special day!

ith Hope was very professional and helpful with all our needs! Hope did an amazing job with making sure everything we wanted for our special day happen!

rain it was still amazing. Inside the tent we didn't even know that it was thundering and lighting and down pouring outside! 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.

ont desk, banquet, etc for making our day so special. I want to give special thanks to Hope Sedgwick and Maria for being there every step of the way to ensure my day went as smoothly as it did! 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.

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!

k. Thank you again!

s well as her immaculate taste. Everything was done in a timely manor and was very organized. She went above and beyond for my daughter to make it the wedding of her dreams and I could not be more pleased. Thank you again Hope!!

ut at all because I knew you had it all under control. Thank you for making my wedding a weekend I will never forget!

e the night one to remember! I 10/10 recommend Icona to anyone looking for a wedding spot.

d down to the last detail. All I had to do was describe what I wanted and Hope and her staff made it happen. Since I don't live in the shore area, Hope was extremely helpful in recommending vendors. 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!!

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!

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!!!

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.

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!

thing was executed beautifully and I was able to say my vows with my toes in the sand and party all night feet from the Atlantic Ocean. The most beautiful venue on the Jersey Shore hands down! The food was incredible and my mouth still waters thinking about our specialty drink! The staff were so helpful and welcoming and my day was amazing!

led everything, making the day a breeze. The staff was courtesy and very helpful. The hotel rooms are lovely and our guests had a blast! Icona will always hold a special place in our hearts.

was just not in our budget as I am a law student and we are living on one salary. But, when I contacted Hope at Icona, she insisted we come down and visit anyway and that she would do whatever she could to make sure that we got everything we wanted for our budget. So, we went down to Wildwood Crest and instantly fell in love. We knew that this was the place we wanted to get married, from the resort feel the second you walked into the hotel, to the hotel grounds itself. Icona has its own private, silky soft beach to get married on or just to enjoy a getaway. In addition, every hotel suite was completed updated including full kitchenettes with a stove top, fridge, kureg, glassware, utensils, pots and pans, etc. and were up-kept beautifully. From the very beginning, Hope guided us through every step of the wedding process. As a law student, I was very busy with every day things, never mind planning a wedding. So, her support was much needed. She did not let us down from the beginning stages, to setting up a payment plan that worked for my fiance and I, set up on the day of, and clean up when the party was over. If there was something we really wanted that just wasn't in our budget, Hope made sure we had it anyway. In addition, just about every aspect of the wedding was customized to our liking and needs. We didn't want to do a sit down dinner, so instead we went with heavy hor d'oeuvres, some carving stations, a pasta station, and more! You can even have a pig roast if that's what you want! We arrived on Friday for our Sunday wedding and immediately met up with Hope to finalize our big day. As our friends and family arrived throughout the weekend, we got to spend time with them at the pool where you could order food and drinks and never have to leave your lounge chair. We also spent a lot of time on the beach at the beach bar, where they had fire pits set up, a ton of lounge seating, music, and drink service surrounded by beautiful white sand, palm trees, and the ocean. As the big day arrived, Hope and her team were there to help my fiance and the groomsmen set up the ceremony and reception area. We were able to bring our own arbor made of driftwood trees to really give it that personal touch. We had the reception in the beautiful tent right on the beach that was set up to perfection. Every decoration, every detail was just as I imagined. From the second we entered the tent, Hope and her team made sure my husband and I had a drink in our hand and food at our table the entire night. My husband even had his own special cup that was waiting for him at the bar and he loved it! The staff that took care of us and our guests were incredible and the food was even better than at the food tasting. Getting married at the Icona was a wonderful experience and we can't wait to go back for our one year anniversary!

delicious, unique, and so perfect for our "luau ". The ceremony was on the beach under a spectacular driftwood canopy that couldn't have been a more perfect backdrop. And the reception on the beach was fabulous because of Hope's eye for detail and constant vigilance. It certainly was a night to remember. Thank you Hope, and all of the hotel staff that made this occasion so wonderful! Joan and Pete Barletto

now how she does it. It was such an amazing day the hotel staff goes above and beyond. The food was also incredible

on a wedding for 24 people. I couldn't have been more wrong! As a lifetime Wildwood Crest vacationer, Icona Diamond Beach was the PERFECT location for solidifying my new family. We worked with Hope, who was able to deliver a day that was so much bigger than we ever imagined. Not only did we get to say "I do" on the beach, but we had a cocktail hour with amazing appetizers, dinner on the rooftop of Icona with spectacular views, and then an unforgettable after-party at Icona's beach bar, Bungalow No. 7. Everything was seamless - from vendor referrals to coordinating the decor - we couldn't have asked for better service or more undivided attention, and our day was magical because of it! :)

n for us but it ended up working out perfectly for our 110 person wedding reception. Hope really makes you feel special ultimately wanting exactly what you WANT. We were very unsure of what our wedding should have etc but in the end everything was perfection!

tended to. Hope even helped make me laugh & smile so I wouldn't cry all the way down the aisle., which I appreciated. It's the little things like this that mean so much & made this the happiest day of my life. The food & drinks were delicious and everyone had so much fun! My husband & I are so happy we picked Icona for our wedding.
