Laguna Grill and Rum Bar

nd family area still talking about how great the crab cakes were 4 months later.

ever our imagination could think of. He wanted a chocolate fountain and I had a raw seafood tower! Oh and did I mention it was on the beach by the ocean! The owners and staff were all very invested in our wedding and the wedding coordinator was always available either through email or text. Laguna Grill & Rum Bar is attached to a hotel that offered group packages so our out of town guests And musicians could all stay! They also supplied a great vendor list and recommended a perfect chapel just up the street although they do preform beach ceremonies has we wAnted! The food wA so good/the layout was perfect/the bartenders were dressed up and so were the servers /the lighting magical. It was top knot just and classy. Laguna Grill and Rum Bar is the best place for a wedding reception for every type of marriage/age/gender/race/& budget friendly. Xoxox thank you again and we hope others are able to creAte with Laguna Grill and Rum Bar locates in the hidden gem of the Jersey Shore, Brigantine Nj, USA. Xo Mrs. Holcombe.

rs were over the top with paying attention to every detail!! They made our wedding day something that my wife and I and our guests will remember for the rest of our lives!!!

how everything looked and the food! Laguna’s food is some of the best wedding food I have ever had! The staff was awesome and they made sure to make the day run as smoothly as possible. Thank you again for a perfect wedding!

vacation because it is so fun! I never knew it would be a excellent place for a wedding. I highly recommend it to any bride who wants a beach wedding!

na was just the place I wanted to celebrate love with my family & friends. The weather was perfect for our outside reception by the beach. All my guests enjoyed the beautiful ambience (palm trees🌴& lights), delicious food and the dance floor! I couldn't have done it without Chris' help, she was very attentive from begin to end. It is very relieving when you have help from someone with high wedding experience, it makes planning way less stressful. So thankful for Chris & the Laguna staff for making my special day the Best Day Ever! I wish I could rewind and live that day over again, I am just smiling thinking about it! xo

e weather wasn't always cooperative. Food was outstanding, especially the crabcakes which everyone is still raving about.

hat we needed whenever. At the reception everything was beautiful and the food was delicious. People are still talking about the apps and the steaks! Thank you Laguna. It was an epic wedding that we will never forget !

g the coordination before and during the wedding day. Food and drinks were amazing. The staff were friendly, fun, and we're a great time as also confirmed by our guests. Many guests even told us, "it was the best wedding" they had ever been to. Its a great venue if you are looking for a cold drink and your feet in the sand. Very flexible as well. Perfect for our relaxed, party vibe beach wedding.

self, I am beyond happy with my experience with this venue. Christine Bruno was extremely accommodating, had an answer to every question and made sure that every detail of our vision was possible and eventually came true. When the day of the event finally came, it was exactly as I had imagined it to be and it all went off without a hitch because of Christine and the amazing staff at Laguna. All throughout the event, I heard repeatedly “this was the best wedding that we’ve ever been to”, “this is the most relaxed and fun wedding ever” and “I have never had a meal this delicious at a wedding before”. Suffice it to say, Laguna was an absolute hit and I thank Christine and the Laguna staff for making my big day “the best wedding ever.” 

lace for a wedding!!!!

that assisted Christine were also smiling and enjoying their evening of making our evening special. Our wedding was to be on the beach but unfortunately weather kept us inside. I planned ahead just in case and glad I did. I had my own tropical plants to bring in and Christine was so very happy to help us in any way to make this work for the families. While it was inside, the beach is right out the door and with the windows all around and we felt like we were right there. This venue was very intimate and the food was tremendous. Could not have asked for a better day (well, the sun could have helped) but my daughters wedding was full of sunshine on their faces. Thank you again Christine and staff for superb time.

venue exactly as I had imagined it in my head, even my husband was amazed at what she did with the room. The food was amazing!! People can not stop raving to us about how fabulous our wedding was, friends asks us to get married again so we can do it all over again! Everyone love the fact that you get married on the beach, take two steps to the venue and then can walk right to hotel, its incredibly convenient for your guests. While I can't stop raving about how fabulous my wedding was, the best part was that for a New Jersey Beach front wedding, it as extremely affordable!! Like I said, I just can't give the venue, Christine, and the staff enough stars!!!

about this facility/venue. The food was awesome, the place looked amazing and the service was impeccable. Honestly I can't say enough wonderful things about Laguna and I am thrilled we had our wedding there. They were very accommodating, easy to work with and on top of everything. The day of the event went well with the attention and service we received. I am one happy bride, thank you very much to the owners and staff at Laguna!!

ked diligently, professionally and went over and above for our guests! I can't say enough about the food, bar service, and friendliness of the staff. Whatever we needed, they were on hand to help and provide! If I could give them 10 stars, I would!!!

e day from start to finish in lieu of there being a hurricane outside. (so much for the beach wedding).Our guest raved about the food, venue and the service that they were provided to them by her staff. We would do it all over again in a heart beat! Thanks Christine! Bob and Helen Mclaughlin

us every step of the way, helping to create an unforgettable 50th wedding anniversary event. Her attention to detail was impeccable, she gave input, listened to our ideas, and went above and beyond to make day perfect! The food was delicious, as we received endless compliments on the presentation, as well as the taste. The staff was friendly, and accommodation to all the guests, and especially to the guests of honor. The view from the room was breath taking! If the beach is your "Happy Place," as it is with my entire family, you will not be disappointed with Laguna Grill!!! I come from a large Italian family, and we have hosted many weddings, parties, and events over the years... This 50th Anniversary party (from ceremony to reception) tops them all! What a perfect day! Highly recommended!!!!

mmodating. All of our guests commented on the amazing food, great space, and helpful staff. We couldn’t have asked for a better day. THANK YOU to the entire team at Laguna Grill for making our special day truly perfect! I’d recommend Laguna Grill to anyone looking for a NJ seaside wedding!

guna and had our reception outside on their patio. The set up for the reception was breathtaking, the food amazing and the attention to every detail before and during our event was on point. Chris Bruno made sure everything was arranged just as we had discussed with her and she executed every detail to perfection. If you want the perfect beach wedding Laguna is the place to have it.

r night special. The staff was attentive and great and the food was very delicious!! All of our guests had a great time! Price is very reasonable thanks Laguna!!

Very comfortable. she and the staff were very professional. Thank you very much

took place right on the Brigantine beach, then it was a few steps back to Laguna for the reception. The location was beautiful; outside on their beachfront deck. There were palm trees and chairs in the sand. There was also an awning that provided shaded areas for guests who wished to stay out of the sun. There were staging areas for either a band or DJ, and plenty of room to dance. The food was excellent! All of the appetizers and entrees were fresh and delicious. I was so impressed by the quality and tastiness of the food, my only regret is that the busy bride didn't have time to eat more! The most important feature of Laguna was the people; the service was spectacular! Christine Bruno is the wedding coordinator for Laguna and she was such a pleasure to work with from the very start. She laid to rest all my concerns and made sure everything that day ran smoothly. The efficiency, dedication, and kindness she showed, from our first conversation to the big day, allowed me to relax and enjoy with no concerns. Everything that I envisioned for that special day came to life with the help and support of the staff at Laguna. From the owner himself, to every last bartender and busboy, everyone contributed to making my wedding day the most spectacular day of my life!

was very accommodating throughout the entire planning process suggesting a number of vendors and helping us get all our plans in place. The afternoon of the food tasting was especially memorable from the hors d'oeuvres to the entrees. Everything was so delicious that making a choice was difficult. Our special day arrived and we couldn't be happier with the staff's attention. Christine especially went 'the extra mile' getting us our own plate of hors d'oeuvres during cocktail hour and then getting us each a plate of food from the buffet since we both had children on our laps. She then made sure the children got nuggets & french fries. Our friends and relatives continue to comment about the great venue and our guests could not stop raving about the delicious food including tilapia and steak. Everyone had a great time. We could not have made a better choice and highly recommend Laguna Grill & Rum Bar for any type of celebration.

d was delicious, and our family is still talking about the giant scallops that were amazing. The venue is very comfortable and was easily accessible for my grandmother, who is in a wheelchair. Did I mention how delicious the food was? The weather was perfect; overall, the day couldn't have been any better. I highly recommend this venue.

All of our guests really enjoyed the food and were very impressed with the service,especially Christine Bruno the events organizer. She took great care to make sure everyone was happy and comfortable. We met with her a few times over the summer to go over details and she was very attentive to our every need and concern. The location is great, right on the beach, white sand and palm trees too! I would recommend the Laguna as a destination wedding location that is local enough to Philly and NYC, with the charm of Atlantic City only a few miles away. We had a great time.

y recommend Laguna Grill!! Best wedding ever!

es. We had specific things we were looking for and Laguna was a perfect fit for us! Christine (or Chris) the wedding coordinator there was fantastic. She helped with vendor recommendations, budgeting, ideas and any other need/request we had during the months leading up to the wedding. She was patient, friendly and professional. We had our menu tasting with our mom's and my husband's grandma. Chris was accommodating and impressed us all with her demeanor, knowledge and willingness to go the extra mile. The food was fantastic both at the tasting and on our actual wedding! We hired Chris for extra rehearsal dinner/beach ceremony execution/vendor contact service she offers on the day of our wedding and didn't regret spending the extra money one bit. Chris helped setup the room with my husband, some bridesmaids, groomsmen and family the afternoon of the wedding. I was so amazed by how beautiful the whole setup looked. At the reception, she refilled our drinks, brought my husband and I plated dinners from the buffet, checked in with not only us, but also guests to ensure they were comfortable and enjoying themselves. Chris was organized, calm, efficient and truly in control of the whole event from start to finish. We even got compliments from friends of ours on how "with it" she was as a wedding coordinator and that she was the best they'd seen! Laguna, the venue itself was beautiful, spacious, comfortable and has amazing beachfront views. It was perfect for our beach ceremony and reception that was only steps away. Chris truly surpassed our expectations every step of the way and made for a beautiful, memorable and relaxing wedding day.

it's truly because of this incredible team. The venue is so romantic and ideal for a beach wedding/reception it was just PERFECT. Our guests had nothing but positive things to say and were blown away by how attentive and professional Christine and her staff were. We have had so many complements from our guests saying the food was over the top delicious and was the best they ever had at any wedding! Your wedding venue here will definitely have that extra little bit of "special" that everyone wants on their big day. WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND Laguna for any wedding reception venue!! Christine, you and your staff deserve a huge THANK YOU for making our day so memorable. We will be coming back for dinner soon. The food is amazing and your signature Rum Runners are always delicious. See you very soon. Many thanks again...Amy & Carmen DeChristopher... 20 year vow renewal ceremony & reception, 6/6/2015.

During the planning process, Christine was so helpful to me and my family. She is thorough and friendly and knows what she is doing. She is extremely organized and was also able to recommend other vendors to me (florist, cake, DJ, etc.). She was all about making my wedding my way. Having Christine on your "team" for your wedding is a good enough reason to have a wedding here, but beyond that the site is beautiful. I had my ceremony outside of the Grill right on the beach and then came inside for the reception. It was super easy and convenient for my guests! This beach is quiet and clean. It's not the rowdy "Jersey Shore scene" but is only 15 minutes from Atlantic City. One of my concerns was poor weather, Christine had that covered. She said if the weather was bad they would accommodate and move the ceremony inside the restaurant. Thankfully the weather was perfect, but it was so comforting to have a backup plan ready! There are several great locations for the ceremony, all within reasonable walking distance from the sidewalk which was great for the older guests at my wedding. There is a back deck that people who really don't want to walk in the sand can be on to watch the ceremony, and the Palm trees make for great pictures. As for the reception, Christine was again incredibly helpful in providing layouts of the room and setting it up how I wanted it, right down to the size of tables. The food was amazing!! I received so many compliments from my guests on the appetizers and the main course meal. Also, there is a hotel above the Laguna Grill which was very convenient for my guests and family. I would highly recommend this venue to anyone who wants the perfect Jersey beach wedding!!

the water. We had our ceremony at our church, but came here for the reception. We worked with Christine, who did everything to make our day so special. She met with us multiple times in the months leading up to the day. She even accommodated our schedule the week-of, so we could drop our reception items off earlier than anticipated. Everything was set so up beautifully and perfectly. When we arrived, she personally made sure my husband and I had drinks (and appetizers). The staff even brought us a plate of the appetizers, so we were able to actually eat and sample everything. The food was delicious - our guests raved about it. The scallops wrapped in bacon were particularly amazing. The bar had just been renovated and looked amazing. We had even requested that the "big chair" be out on the beach in time for our early May wedding -it was out (and even turned so that it faced a better direction for pictures). We only had one snaffo on our wedding day, and because of Christine, it went smoothly. We had a problem with one of our booked vendors, but by the time we arrived, Christine had already found a replacement, so that my family and I didn't have to worry about it. (She handled the situation so well, so that I didn't even know until the next day that it had been a problem). We couldn't have asked for better service, help, or a better venue for our wedding! Thanks Christine and Laguna for making our day so special!

ally blew me away!!! The set up was beautiful in a private room overlooking the beach. The tables were perfectly set and the buffet looked exquisite. They were very helpful throughout the night in keeping us on schedule, which I very much appreciated. But what I just can't stop thinking about is the exquisite food!!!! It was a meal to die for. We had crab cakes filled with crab (not just breading) and the steak tips just melted into your mouth. All of the sides were delicious and beautifully served. Finally, the "Shoobie Pie" was homemade and filled with the creamiest ice cream. If I could have, I would have had this meal for my actual wedding, and I would definitely recommend to anyone to have their rehearsal AND wedding there! Everything was perfect!

the attentiveness of the staff, especially Chris Bruno. She was on top of everything from the moment we booked it. The guests couldn't stop talking about the food - the best they've ever had at a wedding! Reception venue was just right - not too big, views of the ocean, dance floor in the middle, beautiful Rum Bar. We would highly recommend Laguna Grill and Rum Bar for any event, especially if you want your guests to have the time of their lives!

dn't have asked for a better place to celebrate. I would recommend Laguna to anyone looking for great service and a gorgeous view!!

I could have imagined. From the moment we walked in seeing our family enjoying themselves to the minute we continued our party at the outdoor beachbar, everything was perfect. We went back the next day to watch the Eagles game and the bartenders remembered us and made our special weekend continue. If you are on the fence about Laguna, commit! You will not regret it!

e that a focal point of the wedding experience for our guests, especially the out-of-towners. We wanted a "low key" venue without all of the frills and formality of a sit down dinner and place settings. Most of all we wanted people to feel like they were at the Jersey Shore. We needed a coordinator who would really help us out since we don't currently live in the area. Our interactions with Chris were absolutely ACES. She completely "got" our vision of a large and fun cocktail party atmosphere and assured us that the space would be perfect for our 200+ guest list. Chris worked with us for over a year to create two plans, one focused on the beach bar outside and one rainy day layout so that we would feel very comfortable rain or shine. Ultimately we DID need to use a rainy day plan and Chris and her staff executed it beautifully. We still got married on the beach (on the stage) with our guests tented and the effect was perfect. Our guests RAVED about the food and not one person was left waiting for a drink. The staff was attentive and supportive not only of our guests but also of the people who helped to set up the space. We have come to really love Chris and Laguna Grill and cannot think of another place to get married on the Jersey Shore. We highly recommend the space...Rain or Shine!

was exactly what we needed. We had our ceremony right on the beach and our guests walked right onto the deck for cocktail hour after ceremony, it was very convenient. Our guests, never being to Brigantine, fell in love with the beach and the venue. We went with a buffet rather than a sit down dinner and for us it worked well with our guests. Everyone loved the buffet and raved about the food, apparently the steak was a huge hit (Unfortunately I didn't get a piece lol)! The staff at Laguna were all amazing, very friendly to us as well as all our guests. We were very happy on how the entire day went and we can honestly say the wedding turned out better than we even envisioned.

fantastic and plenty of it! Everyone is saying they had a great night! Very Happy!

s fabulous to work with and guided us through every detail!! We have only positive things to say about The Laguna !!! It was absolutely perfect!!! I would highly recommend Laguna for our wedding!!!

ent and made sure that everything was flawless down to every minor detail. The restaurant itself is the perfect atmosphere for a beach front wedding. We look forward to having many other events at Laguna bar and grill.

ood and lots of guests commented on the quality of the open bar. Highly recommend for your beach wedding!!

, we left our flowers and centerpieces and they did the rest, the gift table, and the cake table were decorated so nicely and all of the tables were even nicer than I could imagine. The food was AMAZING! The head chef is very talented, and the surf and turf was so delicious. The ocean view from Laguna really made the place impressive and interesting. Thank you so much for an awesome reception Laguna!

ay before the wedding, Chris called me to say her daughter's wedding was switched to the day of our wedding and she couldn't make it. I was devastated, but she assured me she had someone who would make the day a dream come true. Unfortunately, they had never run an entire wedding and the banquet manager had recently left. The day of the wedding was beautiful, and the food was stellar, but of our two bartenders, one was brand new (our parents even had trouble getting a drink during cocktail hour). We were told appetizers would be saved for our bridal party since we would be taking pictures during cocktail hour, but they were only saved for two, not our bridal party and families. We stood outside for a long time waiting to be announced and no one came to give us direction or even water (even restaurant guests became confused at the bride and groom standing outside their wedding). Bridesmaids went in and stole waters off tables and were trying to find any help. After cocktail hour, the night went well and the food was great. Coffee was never made to serve with cake and if guests weren't seated they didn't receive cake. We did receive a small amount of the cost back, but not close to the hour we lost of the day. Overall, we loved our wedding day and you will too, but it was disappointing to lose my faith in someone I trusted.

cort cards, favors, guest book, centerpieces, etc. were arranged better than I could've done. The service was fantastic. Chris and her husband Tony were very hospitable and put our nerves at ease. During our wedding, my husband and I received many compliments on the venue and the service. I would recommend Laguna without hesitation to anyone who wishes to have an elegant beach wedding.

we had a cocktail hour and luncheon reception. The food was excellent and all of my guests raved about it all. Chris provided me with a list of vendors to contact for the chair rental, cake, photographer and Reverend. Guests were able to get rooms at the attached Legacy Vacation Resorts which was on-site. Great day!

ted us every step of the way, providing us with vendor suggestions, many which we used and were so grateful for the introductions. Because the Laguna is set on the beach, our guests were just a few steps away from that anxiously awaited cocktail hour. The Bride and Grooms request for a signature drink was displayed beautifully by the bartenders in an elegant bar area behind the reception space. The appetizers were easily passed thru our 110 guests and were a tasty introduction to what was to come. The reception area was just beautiful, all of my daughter's requests were just as she had imagined.... An elegant wedding reception, without a hint of pretense. The view of the beach and ocean speak for itself however the food, our guests spoke for and spoke they did raving about how delicious everything was. ...if you are considering a beautiful beach wedding, with a beautiful view of the ocean and awesome food and fun and service ..may I suggest Laguna grill and rum bar
