The Sea Shell Resort and Beach Club

The Sea Shell was our dream venue, and it absolutely lived up to that expectation! The scenery outside was stunning, the food was delicious, and having an outside space for cocktail hour was such a hit. Brittany and Jaimee were both so great to work with, and really helped us through the planning. Couldn't imagine getting married anywhere else, and would recommend this venue to anyone else who wants a true Jersey beach wedding feel!

My wife and I began looking at venues in the beginning of 2022. Every year we go to LBI for family vacation and also just for short weekend getaways - its our favorite place. I never thought it would be possible to get married on the island and then we walked into the Sea Shell. We met Brittany, who gave us our first official tour and ran through what our wedding day would look like. We sealed the deal 2 weeks later because we felt like it would be the perfect venue for us, checking all of our main boxes. Outdoor ceremony, cocktail hour at the tiki bar, and indoor reception - it kept everyone moving and changed the ambiance with each portion of the day. We chose our wedding date to be 9/6/2024 - over 2 years away from when we booked. Still, the girls, Jaimee & Brittany were with us every step of the way. We had 3 meetings spread out along our planning period to ensure everything was going to be planned out exactly how we wanted. Towards the end of the planning process, it truly felt like we were checking in with friends whenever we had questions to ask them. You could tell that the waiters/staff/bartenders were excited to be working that night. And as for Jaimee and Brittany, I could truly rave about them until my face turns blue, I highly recommend looking at the Sea Shell if you want to have 2 wedding planners by your side that you can place your full trust in. Let me just speak on the FOOD, because omg - the best food you could possibly have for your wedding day. The options are endless, the flavors are unique, and all of our guests couldn't stop talking about it. They said it was the best they've had at a wedding. Once you take a look at the wedding menu, you'll understand. The Wedding day itself was a BREEZE. I was able to focus on the present and at no point felt like I had to jump in to fix or adjust something. It ran so smoothly that for a second I forgot it was my wedding day - and thats how it should be. We unfortunately ran into a few hiccups from our DJ, but the girls went with the flow and tried their best to make those moments as stress free as possible. When we got into the hotel room at the end of the night, there was dessert, cocktail hour food, and champagne waiting for us. Although my Wife and I agree that we had such a beautiful Wedding day, one of our favorite parts was sitting on the bed at 2am trying all the food we didn't get to earlier in the day. It was so us, and a special moment we will always cherish. To sum it up, all of our guests rated our wedding a 10/10 and are still talking about it a month later. We couldn't thank the Shell enough for their professionalism, understanding, ease and hard work. They showed up on our Wedding day as if it were their own and we couldn't be more grateful.

My husband and I chose the Sea Shell Resort located on Long Beach Island as the destination for our September 2024 wedding.  While all venues we looked at were beautiful with views for days the Sea Shell Resort provided a few things the others didn't. The Shell has stunning separate spaces for all aspects of the wedding day including a private beautiful beach ceremony, a spacious tiki bar for cocktail hour and a stunning reception space as well as ample hotel rooms ALL on site which was so convenient for our wedding guests. The other reason we chose The Shell over other venues was due to Tom, Sherry, Brittany and Jaimee, the family that owns and works all the weddings that take place there. I cannot say enough wonderful things about these people. Jaimee and Brittany are the wedding planners but they are so much more. From day one they provided me with a custom Sea Shell wedding planning booklet that provided me with everything I needed to know and every question I would need to answer in order to have a seamless wedding day. With that planning guide and the meetings I had with Brittany and Jaimee by the time wedding week arrived I was ready to relax and actually enjoy the weekend. If a problem ever arose on the wedding weekend I have yet to know about it. Brittany, Jaimee and Sherry along with my florist made for THE MOST STUNNING and aesthetically pleasing wedding I have ever been to and I didn't have to lift a finger. They surpassed anything and everything I could have imagined and it brought tears to my eyes. AND THEN THERE'S THE FOOD. Tom and his teams of chefs and bartenders blew me away. In planning the day and the menu I knew what was going to be served and there was something for everyone regardless of allergies and restrictions, preferences and palettes. The quality and quantity of food at the cocktail alone was incredible. There were so many different options to pick from and each one was loved. Then we had the dinner menu which was even better, I'm still drooling over the prime rib. Weeks after our event people are still raving about the food that was served, both for the cocktail and dinner. People continue to tell both my husband and I that it was "the best wedding they have every been to." It truly was the best day ever and it would not have been without Tom, Sherry, Brittany, Jaimee and The Sea Shell Resort. 10/10, two thumbs up, five stars and any other top rating you could think of. 

The Shell made wedding planning so enjoyable and fun! Planning a wedding from afar was already a little stressful, but Jaimee and Brittany made it the smoothest process ever. The day of was incredible and we could not have asked for a better venue with better drinks, food and space!
