Beach Haven holds a special place in our hearts, and we couldn't be happier with our decision to get married at the Sea Shell. We visit the Sea Shell every summer and have always loved it. From the moment we met with Tom, Brittany, and Jaimee, we knew it was the perfect choice. The Sea Shell is a family-owned venue, and they take exceptional care in executing every detail. The entire planning process with Brittany and Jaimee was fantastic—they ensured no detail was overlooked and made the experience enjoyable. Planning was stress-free from the very beginning.
Our ceremony and reception were flawless, and our guests repeatedly told us it was the best wedding they've ever attended. We got married on their stunning private beach, which provided the perfect backdrop. The cocktail hour was incredible, with an abundance of delicious options that could have easily fed everyone for the evening. The dinner was equally delicious, and the team was extremely accommodating, offering great suggestions throughout. I cannot recommend the Sea Shell highly enough—it was absolute perfection.

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!

We could not have chosen a more perfect venue than The Sea Shell Resort for our wedding. From the very beginning of the planning process to the day itself, everything was seamless thanks to Brittany and Jaimee. They were by our side every step of the way, ensuring that every detail was taken care of, making our day stress-free and truly special. Not only did we have so much fun, but our families also found the entire experience effortless, thanks to the exceptional service. The setting was absolutely stunning, and the food was nothing short of incredible. Our guests couldn't stop raving, many saying it was the best wedding they had ever attended. We can't recommend The Sea Shell enough

My husband and I were on the search for a beach wedding, local to the Jersey Shore, and The Seashell Resort & Beach Club checked all of our boxes. The Seashell wedding package includes a private beach for an optional ceremony, 2 incredible wedding coordinators, a room block located at The Seashell, a full bar, and a plethora of cocktail food options for guests. the wedding coordinators; Jaimee and Brittany, were amazing to work with. Whenever I texted either of them, I would receive an immediate answer. Both were amazing to work with and helped us through the entire planning process. There were little to no limitations, and both sisters helped turn my wedding vision into a reality. The day of Brittany and Jaimee set everything up, and everything looked incredible. The staff that worked the fay of our wedding were attentive on my husband and I, making sure we ate. They were also attentive on all guests, and made sure there was never a dirty plate or glass sitting for long. The food was magnificent, all of our guests raved about our cocktail hour and entrees. I highly recommend the scallops wrapped in bacon, that was a crowd favorite! This venue exceeded our expectations, and was incredibly easy to work with. As an added bonus, The Seashell is dog friendly, and the coordinators and staff loved our puppy! The coordinators even texted me the day after our wedding checking on Sophia, and the post wedding blues. The Seashell being family owned, makes this venue truly special. If you're looking for a 1 stop shop, with amazing coordinators, and a beautiful beach wedding, this is the place for you!

We had the wedding of our dreams at The Sea Shell Resort in September 2023. Truly a destination wedding on the Jersey Shore, which is exactly what we wanted for our day. Your contract comes with two coordinators, Brittany and Jaimee, who are fantastic and super on top of everything. All the planning leading up to the day couldn’t have been easier with them. From the most amazing and private beach setting to THE FOOD, everything was perfection. I feel like everyone says that people can’t stop talking about the food after a wedding, but I truly have not had people stop raving about it to me and many telling me it’s the best food they’ve ever had (and I agree!). Having everything in one location made it the best experience for our guests and easy for us. They’ve also just remodeled all the guest rooms so they are super modern and fresh. Location also cannot be beat, in the heart of Beach Haven where everything is in walking distance. Best decision ever choosing The Sea Shell!!

I had my wedding at The Shell on 10/21/23, the last wedding of their fall wedding season. From my first wedding planning meeting all the way through the day of the wedding, I have nothing but amazing things to say about choosing The Shell as my venue. Jaimee and Brittany are the wedding planners and they were so helpful, completely reachable, accommodated special requests, and just fantastic at what they do. I had so much confidence in them on the day of the wedding for the whole venue to be set up perfectly and for everything to run smoothly, and they did not disappoint! It felt like they were always 10 steps ahead of me and I was able to completely be present and enjoy myself. I cannot thank them enough for that. Jaimee and Brittany also recommend amazing vendors that they know, love and trust, and I felt like I had the best team of people on site the day of to make the room+beach ceremony STUNNING! Lastly, the food was SO good. I completely trusted Jaimee and Brittany with their menu recommendations, and I do not regret it one bit! All of our guests RAVED about the food and said it was their favorite wedding they’ve been to! If you’re looking for a beach wedding with a warm personal feel and amazing food, and all your guests can stay right on site…I HIGHLY recommend The Sea Shell!

My husband and I could not be happier to have booked our wedding at The Sea Shell Resort! October 13, 2023 was truly the best day of our lives. The Shell is an amazing venue if you are looking for a chill, beachy vibe. Not only is this a beautiful venue, but also an incredible resort. We were thrilled to learn that our guests were able to enjoy themselves and spend the night in their beautiful rooms without worrying about getting home. We had the pleasure of working with Brittany and Jaimie, who were the most amazing wedding coordinators. They are the reason why we were so relaxed throughout the entire process! Meeting with them throughout the year leading up to the wedding allowed us to check in and see if we were on track with planning. On the day of the wedding, we did not have to worry about a single thing. Brittany and Jamie were eight steps ahead of us at all times. From creating checklists, giving advice, and being general support - the girls were incredible. The food at the venue was absolutely delicious. Do not miss out on the lobster mac and cheese!! We also chose to host a brunch the morning after the wedding. Our guests loved the breakfast options. We are looking forward to coming back over the summer to relive our greatest memories :)

We had our wedding at the Shell on 10/01/23 and it was amazing! Brittany & Jaimee make the experience a breeze. When we first met Brittany & Jaimee it was the first venue we saw, we knew we loved it from the location to the hospitality. We had lunch on site to think about it and the first bite of food sealed the deal! We called Brittany over and booked on the spot.
From day 1 to the end everything was so smooth since Brittany & Jaimee are your wedding planners. In fact I walked in 2 hours before the wedding and said “are you sure I’m not supposed to be doing anything”? It felt TOO easy!
Our wedding completed without a single hiccup and in fact, 3 weeks later we are still getting compliments from the venue to the food.
We are confident in saying we could not have chose a better venue to celebrate our big day. We’re truly saddened it’s over because The Shell helped make our big day, the best day ever.
We stayed over a few extra nights and it was so relaxing! We highly recommend using the Oceanfront room to get ready in and to enjoy a couple days after.

The Sea Shell was absolutely incredible to work with. First off, their premises were stunning and the perfect location for a beach wedding. They also come with Jamiee and Brittany who help with every step planning your wedding. Leading up to the wedding, we had 3 meetings with the girls. They made everything completely seamless and they seem to truly enjoy what they do.
Aside from the girls making the wedding be easy & stress free, the food was insane! Cocktail hour was by far the biggest cocktail hour I've ever seen - and it was all included.. every seafood dish you can imagine. Dinner was also great! They have a variety of options to choose from. Definitely not your typical venue food.
The day of the wedding was perfect! We didn't need to lift a finger as everything was planned prior. All of our guests continue to rave about the food and the location. We couldn't have been happier having our wedding here!!

Where do I even begin.. I cannot say enough good things about this venue. I wanted a destination beach wedding, but due to many family members not being able to fly overseas, I decided to look at beach venues more local. I came across the Sea Shell Resort and Beach Club on The Knot and instantly fell in love. It offered that “destination” feel without the plane ride. Within a week,I had my tour, but I knew I was booking the second we pulled in the parking lot. The venue is family owned, and everyone was beyond welcoming. The owners two daughters were my wedding planners and they were amazing! The amount of questions I texted them with all hours of the week were always answered quickly and throughly. Their mom was there on my wedding day and helped me get my sandals on and helped adjust my dress. An absolute sweetheart. My wedding was Oct 8, 2023. My guests are still raving about the venue and the food! Many have said it was the nicest wedding they have ever been to. The menu was UNREAL. The seafood was fresh and plentiful. There was so much to pick from, and the way it was displayed was gorgeous! The open bar was top shelf- with delicious frozen beach drinks. Our oceanfront room was free the night of our wedding, and we came back to a chilled bottle of champagne waiting for us as well as tons of leftovers from both cocktail hour and dinner. My planners, Jaimee and Brittany, handled everything. Welcoming my vendors, setting up decorations, packing up all the decor at the end of the night, and making sure all our gifts were safely stored. The venue itself was gorgeous- from the palm trees, to the private beach, the heated pool and fire pits, it was a tropical slice of paradise. The day was perfect - if I could do it all over again, I’d rebook the same venue. They made me feel like family and we will definitely be returning for our anniversaries. If you are wanting a beach wedding, the best decision you’ll make is booking here. Thanks so much Sea Shell- you made my wedding day spectacular and one I’ll never forget.

Where do I begin?! Everything about our wedding day was perfect from beginning to end! I wish I could relive the day over and over again. The Sea Shell Resort & Beach Club was the paradise I dreamed of, but only 2.5 hours away from my hometown in North Jersey. It was the most beautiful beach wedding with an abundant cocktail hour (def recommend the lobster Mac n cheese add on!) and a dinner that all of our guests were raving about! The accommodations for our wedding party were all newly updated and everyone was very pleased with their rooms as well. Our bridal suite and ocean view room exceeded my expectations. The best part were Jaimee and Brittany as the wedding planners. These girls are pros. I didn’t stress a thing, as I’m pretty sure they could run the entire wedding with their eyes closed! Their entire staff is superb too! Their house champagne is exceptional and the open bar was fabulous!! They’re not too into sparkler send offs and I totally got why when it was happening, although I feel I did a good job of rallying my guests back onto the dance floor immediately after the “send off.” The pics and videos of us running through the sparklers were totally worth it and I would do it again a million times. The entire wedding was everything I imagined it to be! Having the reception room until 1am was a huge bonus. We totally shut the place down and it was nice to continue the party with pizza and closest friends and family at the end of the night. I am so sad it’s over. Thank you Jaimee & Brittany and your entire team for a perfect wedding weekend!

We were just married at the Shell this past weekend (9/23/23) and we truly couldn't be happier with our experience. When originally planning our wedding, we were interested in a destination wedding; however, since my dad won't fly and my husband had family traveling from Ireland we decided we'd try and stay more local. When we went to check-out the Shell we instantly knew there was nowhere better and we booked instantly. It was the one and only place we looked at! The entire staff and overall vibe were exactly what we wanted and more. You truly feel like you're on a little island somewhere! The entire family makes you feel so welcomed and like your part of their family. Jaimee and Brittany absolutely KILLED everything. They were with us every step of the way leading up to the wedding to ensure everything was taken care of. There was a tropical storm the day of the wedding so of course that threw a bit of stress into the mix of the day but Jaimee and Brittany did everything they could to still make everything run seamless. Their mom was also an absolute angel and couldn’t have been more sweet to us! Everything was a dream despite of their being a storm. Between the venue and the food, our friends and family could not stop raving about how perfect everything was and so many people said that the food was the best they’ve ever had at a wedding! Another amazing bonus was being able to include our dog, Scotch, in the wedding! Truly couldn’t have picked a more perfect place to have our wedding and I would do it a million times over. We will be making an anniversary trip to the Shell every year from now on! If you’re contemplating booking your wedding here, please do yourself a favor and do it!! So sad it's over but so happy to have these memories for life!

We don't even know where to begin. Having grown up both spending our summers on LBI, my husband and I had not really considered the Shell as a venue until we got engaged -- since we had really only ever gone for Thirsty Thursdays. From our first tour with the owner up to our wedding day, we were continuously impressed with the venue and the family who owns it. Jaimee and Brittany are 2 of the best people we met during this entire process and they held our hand through every decision and all of the planning leading up to the wedding. Every time we spoke with them or had a meeting with them, we left feeling relaxed and sooooo excited for our wedding. The food was freaking AMAZING - we loved the opportunity to have a more "non traditional" menu and our guests haven't stopped complimenting everything they ate. They even delivered a few boxes of leftovers to our room for us enjoy at the end of our wedding -- best freaking surprise ever!!! The venue is drop-dead gorgeous, right on the beach and has recently been updated so all of the rooms are also gorgeous. Our entire wedding weekend was so seamless, not a single thing went wrong. My husband and I were both extremely relaxed (aside from being emotional) the entire weekend because we knew we were in good hands with the staff at the Shell. We have no regrets and wish we could re-live our wedding at the Shell over and over again! My husband and I are both very familiar with the other venues on the island, and would highly recommend the Shell - we would do it again in a heartbeat. You are treated like family here, not just another couple.

We were married at the Sea Shell Resort and Beach Club on September 8, 2023. This venue, wedding planners, owners, food and staff are nothing short of SPECTACULAR! We booked this venue 2 years in advance and from the moment we met Brittany and Jaimee, they told us we would be best friends by the time our wedding day came and they weren't wrong. I could text, email or call Brittany and Jaimee whenever I needed anything and they would always respond to me immediately.
Starting with the beautiful venue, private beach to get married on, the cocktail hour area outside, the open bar with great bartenders and drinks. They have fire pits, beach games and outdoor seating for your guests as well. The view and the grounds are amazing. They have these gorgeous palm trees brought in every year to give it that destination resort vibe.
Our wedding itself from rehearsal to the after party was flawless. Jaimee and Brittany make sure to take care of everything you need and all the things you don't think of.
The food, I don't think there are enough adjectives for food to explain. Our guests raved about the food for both cocktail hour and dinner. The raw bar, Thai calamari, coconut shrimp, sushi, pork belly, soup shooters and the list goes on. Not only is it delicious but the way they set it up and their staff that serve and attend to it are incredible.
Dinner, if you still have room to eat after cocktail , is just as incredible. The stuffed salmon, pork tenderloin, vegetables etc.
This venue speaks for itself but without the amazing staff and the owners Tom and Sherry and their daughters Brittany and Jaimee this could be just another venue. Where do you find a place that the owner is on the buffet slicing your prime rib and their daughter is saucing. When you meet Brittany and Jaimee's mom the next morning at the yes YUMMY breakfast ( which is an option you can host for your guests) and you instantly know why their daughters are so kind and wonderful.
While we planned our wedding we visited The Shell several times just because we loved being there so much and the incredible atmosphere. Brittany and Jaimee always took the time to say hello and smile as they were getting prepared for a wedding or even during their busy summer season.
So in conclusion, if you are looking for a beautiful venue, with incredible food, a superior staff and amazing family to make your special day perfect, this is your perfect wedding destination.

We did not want a stuffy, over the top formal wedding, we just wanted big party vibes; the Shell was the perfect fit for us. The location, the space, and the food were absolutely incredible. My entire life, I wanted my wedding on the beach, and with the Shell, that’s exactly what I got.
Brittany and Jamiee were soooooooo helpful throughout the entire planning process. Every email and phone call I made, they answered. They really eased my stress. The day of, they were rockstars. They made sure everything went right. The morning of my wedding, there was traffic coming into LBI, they messaged all my vendors to ensure they would get to the venue on time. I cannot thank them enough for everything they did.
When I say I would relive my wedding day over and over, I mean it. Everyone had such a good time and we’re so impressed with the Shell. We 100% made the right choice having our wedding there.

Our wedding day at the Shell was truly the best day of our lives. We got married this April and we honestly could not have had more fun on our big day. Jaimee and Brittany were amazing, guiding us through every step of the way and helping SO much with every little question and concern!!! We did not have a single worry that everything would go smoothly because of how experienced, organized, passionate and thoughtful they are as planners! I also can never thank them both enough for how committed they were to helping us have our dream ceremony on the beach, despite a pretty awful weather forecast!!! Jaimee and Brittany knew how much it meant to us to get married in the sand and advocated so strongly to switch our ceremony at the VERY last minute to be outside, and it was just perfect. I am SO thankful to the entire Sea Shell team for their flexibility and hard work to make that happen at the very last second!
Our whole wedding day was incredible thanks to the Shell. Our ceremony was beautiful, cocktail hour was so much fun on the patio, the open bar was awesome, and our reception was truly special. Everyone had the best time! The food was incredible the entire night - all our guests were raving about both cocktail hour and dinner and we still get comments about it being the best wedding food our friends and family have ever had! I as the bride must have rudely run off from at least five conversations during cocktail hour to get more blackened scallops because they might be the best thing I've ever tasted :) The Shell staff were so friendly and helpful and wonderful in every way and I still don't think we've stopped smiling from that day. Getting married at the Shell was the best decision we could have made!

Parker and I cannot say enough good things about the Shell. Brittany and Jaimee are absolute pros. We currently live out of state which we thought would make planning difficult, but the Shell handled everything that came up. We took every recommendation they had, and the day was perfect. They corresponded with all our vendors, made sure we were on track every step of the way, and let us know what to expect. It was huge for us to have a venue with an open bar, and where things like table cloths, tables, and silverware were all included. We also had a band who had never played at the Shell, and Jaimee and Britany made sure they answered every question they had. On our wedding day, no one in our party had to lift a finger in terms of planning, everyone was able to enjoy themselves. All of the staff at the Shell moved so seamlessly, it was wildly impressive. Our guests cannot stop talking about the night, especially the food, it was amazing. If I could give anyone a piece of advice it would be to book here ASAP and take their advice, they have seen countless weddings. I wouldn’t have changed a thing if I could go back. The best part of having our wedding at the Shell is that we were truly able to celebrate and not worry about a thing. It was one of the best nights of our lives, and that is mostly thanks to everyone at the Sea Shell.

I grew up in south jersey and LBI has always held a special place in my heart… I spent many summers and most of my teenage/young adult years there.. so when it came time to plan my wedding I knew there was only one venue for me and that was The Sea Shell! Words cannot do justice how incredibly amazing and beautiful this venue is… from the ambience to the food and to top it off having the most experienced an incredible wedding planners by your side Brittany and Jaimie! My wedding weekend happened to be interrupted by the remnants of hurricane Ian… my vision of a beach wedding was no longer and being worried is an understatement of how my wedding day would turn out. Jaime and Brittany had the most wonderful and beautiful back up plan… Our ceremony was able to be outside under the big tiki hut as if it was our own beach side wedding chapel!! It was more beautiful than I could have ever imagined… the entire day was perfect from beginning to end without a single hiccup and that was all because of Brittany and Jaimie… they are there for everything!! Literally nothing went wrong and all my worries about the storm were put to rest. There is so much included with this venue… and the FOOD OMG!!!! The most insane cocktail hour that all of my guests just could not get over! The brunch the next morning… INSANE!!! Top notch bar with top notch drinks! I could go on and on about how incredible The Shell is! The Shell is a one stop place for your overnight stay, ceremony, cocktail hour and reception… and is nestled on the beach… it truly feels like a destination wedding! If you are looking at this amazing venue look no further because you have found your perfect wedding venue!

I got married at the Shell in early October and it was the best wedding venue ever! Jaimee and Brittany were beyond helpful through the planning process. They are so thorough and detailed. They planned for every possible scenario and helped us with our constant questions. They gave us amazing recommendations of a band (Captain Eric and the Shipwrecks), as well as a Florist (Lily in the Valley), and of course late night pizza from Speakeasy. It was great that so many vendors have worked with them previously because it removed so much stress from me and my husband. The whole family and staff at the Shell really know what they’re doing. I felt genuinely cared for by all of them. I can’t imagine any planning process or wedding day going smoother than what we experienced. The amount and quality of food was unreal. We got so many compliments on it. Upon returning to my room they even had leftovers and champagne for us to enjoy, which was so thoughtful!! We also did the farewell breakfast and of course it was the cherry on top! Thank you all at the Shell for the best wedding day I could have imagined!

The Shell is the PERFECT venue because it really has it all; top notch planners, incredible food, topshelf open bar, and a ceremony beach! People STILL talk about how good the food was.
Jaimee and Brittany make and incredible team and really work to ensure you have a stressfree planning and wedding experience.
It was supposed to rain the day of our wedding and Jaimee and Brittany knew how important it was to us to get married with our toes in the sand, so they waited until the absolute last second to make the call. The Beach Haven bubble pulled through and we were able to have a rain free ceremony on the beach. It truly shows how they are the are going to do whatever they can to make your day extra special.

My husband and I got married at The Sea Shell Resort and Beach Club this past Saturday and it was the most incredible day of our lives. Jaimee and Brittany brought our dreams to life! They made sure we were constantly taken care of and made everything so easy. On top of the amazing atmosphere, we keep getting compliments from our guests that it is the best food they’ve ever had at a wedding. We even got a chance to meet the owner/chef, who was cutting the prime rib at the buffet! If you want to have a beautiful, stress free day I recommend you book The Shell ASAP.

My wedding day was an affair to remember. My Husband and I had our wedding at the Sea Shell this past weekend. I have to say it was the best experience i could have asked for, from start to finish! They have Wedding planning down to a science!! I loved the fact that its a family owned, and RUN business. Tommy the owner, is the sweetest man, and a phenomenal chef! My guests have been RAVING about how incredible the food was for days!! The appetizers were to die for, and there were so many!! Just A few comments were "I normally don't eat sushi, but the Yellowfin Tuna just melted in your mouth!" And "I must have went back for the scallop ceviche 10 times!" .. Unfortunately, i was so busy talking with my guests, and taking pictures that i didn't get to try much of the food .. but they thought of that too!! Tommy's wife Sherry, (who is a fabulous woman might I add!), made sure to sneak us into the front of the food line knowing we wouldn't get too many chances to eat! Not to mention when we got to our room that night, out fridge was FULL of all the food we didnt get to try!! Like i said, they think of everything!!! Sherry also does a lot of the decor which was absolutely stunning as well! And that brings me to their daughters Jaimee, and Brittany.. hands down the best wedding planners a girl could ask for! They held my hand through it all from day one! Planning a Wedding is super overwhelming, and you just dont know where to start.. Not only do they understand that, but these girls make it feel seamless! They have crafted this method, and framework of how to plan a wedding that made the whole process feel smooth, and enjoyable! From our very first meeting, I knew I could put my trust in their hands. Their organization skills, and attention to detail was truly impressive! They are the definition of true professionals!! It was such a pleasure to get to know the whole family! I would say they OVER DELIVERED!! Our wedding day was absolutely perfect! Thank you again SeaShell Family - Mr. & Mrs Shannon 🥰

The Sea Shell is AMAZING! It is a family owned and operated venue that really strives to make each wedding unique to the couple. Jaimee & Brittany are incredible and with you every step of the way and make sure everything runs smoothly day of. Our guests are still raving about how much food is provided at cocktail hour and how amazing everything tastes. The venue is beautiful and it is so convenient to have everything located in one spot - especially the after party! The bartenders and staff were incredible and went above and beyond to be fun and keep up with the party vibes. We could not have asked for a more perfect wedding than at the Shell!

We had the most amazing wedding at The Shell! It was beautiful, and the food was AMAZING! All of our guests complimented the food and atmosphere. The planning process was fun and we were excited about our big day the entire time. Jaimee and Brittany were absolutely amazing. They were so helpful during the process, and they did everything they could to make everything EXACTLY how we envisioned it. All the vendors they recommended were also great! The experience and professionalism that Jaimee and Brittany have made the entire process feel so easy and stress free. During our wedding - they set up and took care of every single thing. They were always available and accommodating for any questions or requests. No matter what came up, they were calm and and quick to find a solution. They made it so easy for us to relax and just enjoy our day. We could not have had such a perfect day without them!

If you are looking for the best beach wedding venue - look no further! The Sea Shell Resort and Beach Club was the perfect venue for my husband and I and we couldn't have asked for a better venue to have our wedding. Jaimee and Brittany are the best of the best in the wedding industry and literally were with us every step of the way. They brought our vision to life and then some. I knew I was in good hands the moment I met them for the very first time! The Sea Shell's atmosphere, food, and service is the seriously the greatest and we can't thank them enough for everything that they did for us on our wedding day! We also did the morning after brunch which I will highly recommend, because it was FANTASTIC! Jaimee and Brittany - Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for the most perfect day!

I cannot rave more about our experience of getting married at The Shell. From start to finish - EVERYTHING was a breeze thanks to Jaimee and Brittany! They work with you and share their expertise on every single detail. I really enjoyed our meetings and ended each one feeling more confident than the last. The beach was groomed for the ceremony, and everything inside and outside was set-up so well and just looked absolutely perfect. The food...insane. Our guests really enjoyed cocktail hour by the pool and the buffet dinner, they haven't stopped telling us how great it all was. Brittany and Jaimee are there to answer questions throughout the planning process by text or email and are also there for the day of the wedding to make sure everything goes smoothly. They are absolute professionals!
The Shell was my dream venue as it's where me and my husband spend our summers, I feel so lucky to have had our special day here! We will cherish these memories forever❤️

Could not speak more highly of The Sea Shell as a wedding venue! It is a no brainer - built-in planning with an all-in food/ beverage package made wedding planning seamless and stress free. Jaimee and Brittany are both experts in their field and compassionate allies throughout the planning process - working with them to move our date twice due to COVID was handled better than we could have ever imagined. The entire staff at the Shell goes above and beyond and our guests are still raving about the delicious food, thoughtful cocktails, and overall experience - not to mention the ease of being able to stay on site. Sincerely grateful to them for helping to create and pull off this meaningful event!

I got married at the Sea Shell in early October, and our entire wedding weekend was absolutely perfect! Working with Brittany and Jaimee made the planning process easy from start to finish. They walked us through every detail we needed to consider and were always available to answer questions, provide vendor recommendations, and even help our guests to book rooms. On the day of the wedding, they and their staff kept things running so smoothly. We loved how seamlessly our guests were able to move from the ceremony to cocktail hour to the reception, and being able to have an afterparty on-site was a great perk as well. The property overall is absolutely beautiful, the hotel rooms are clean and comfortable, and all of the food was amazing. Many of our guests said it was the best wedding food they'd ever had, and even the best wedding they'd ever been to! I highly recommend the Sea Shell for the perfect wedding day and weekend!

My daughter got married at the Sea Shell on Sunday, September 12, and I couldn't have asked them to pick a better venue! Hotel staff is very accommodating and friendly, Brittany and Jamie, the event coordinators did such a wonderful job planning the weekend with my daughter and new daughter-in-law. The reception food was fantastic, hotel rooms were clean and comfy and the ceremony on the property's beach area was beautiful. It helped that Mother Nature gave us a perfect weekend, but I don't think that had much to do with the hard work the staff put in to make our event (and 3 others that weekend!) successful! Thanks so much to all at the Sea Shell...you're all fantastic!

Everyone in attendance said it was the best wedding they had ever been to. The food was absolutely incredible and the venue was gorgeous . One of the great things about Jaimee and Brittany at the Shell is their attention to the little details that you wouldn't think about. When we got back to our suite for the night there were containers full of all the wonderful food that we had at our reception and desserts. They were even dog friendly! Our pup was welcomed with open arms and we loved having him be a part of our special day. Even with all the covid craziness and changes the Shell made sure to keep us up to date on changes and restrictions as the were implemented or lifted. They worked well with our vendors and really thought of everything. If you want to have a wedding people will brag about going to for years to come, have it at the shell!

We had our wedding at The Shell 6/10/21 and it was perfect! Being a "covid" bride, we truly were nervous that the wedding was not actually going to happen. As our dream was to have a destination wedding, this was the most absolute closest feeling! You almost don't believe you're in NJ!!! Jaimee and Brittany included us in every change, whether good or bad, for the 9 months leading up the our day. Once we knew it was actually happening, they made sure to keep us aware of what would be happening on our day and even gave options incase rain, etc may have occurred. We decided to have the Welcome Party which was great! So nice and relaxing to have the night prior with so many choices to pick from for our menu. The special touch they added to menu was printing a menu with our names on top - thought that was so sweet and personable. The day of couldn't have gone any smoother - all went to plan. Jaimee and Brittany made our day come to life along with our other vendors who they communicated with! Cocktail Hour was definitely one of the highlights. Everything from Sushi to Fruit was there and you had a nice variety to choose from. We did decide to add in the Lollipop Lamb Chops which was an additional charge, but well worth it! Our reception was PERFECT - couldn't have been any better. Afterwords we did order sandwiches from CHEGG which were delivered and left out for our guests. Only issue, it turns into a nightclub 10pm, so the food was being grabbed by other patrons so that was sort of a bust! We extended our stay for a week to relax at the place we had our wedding! It was a great way to end the most memorable day. J + B were there from day one and helped all the way until the very end. Very much recommend their resort for a wedding. A+++. Also have to give a shout out to the staff - SO NICE and everyone was very professional. They said hi to us and even made a special accommodation for us when dinner was being shut down one night, they still served us. Lots of fun - very lax, and definitely different from any wedding I went to! Thank you for making our dream day the most talked about wedding !!!

I cannot express in words how incredible our wedding at The Sea Shell Resort and Beach Club was! From the moment we started planning with Jaimee and Brittany, we felt welcomed and celebrated. The venue is beautiful, the food is impeccable, the service is absolutely outstanding! I didn’t have to lift a finger on my wedding day. They had my decorations perfectly placed, and my wedding went so smoothly. I would recommend the Sea Shell to any bride who is looking for a beach wedding.
I love that the Sea Shell is a family-run business and that the entire family was on hand to make sure our festivities ran like a well-oiled machine.
So many of our guests have told us that it was the best wedding they’ve ever been to. I’m so grateful that Jaimee and Brittany worked so hard to make our day amazingly special!

Planning a wedding during covid was incredibly difficult. The rules and regulations changed almost daily and our plans needed to adjust each time. Jaimee and Britney were our partners in navigating the whole situation, and delivered a covid conscious wedding that’s was nothing short of spectacular. The food, the set up for the ceremony and reception, the staff- were all exceptional.

There aren't enough words to describe how amazing the Sea Shell Resort was for our wedding. I always dreamed of having my wedding here since I would stay here on vacation as a child, but never thought my dreams would actually come true.
After constant cancellations due to COVID with our first venue in our hometown, we were able to move our wedding to this venue and I thank God every day we did. Our wedding planners were phenomenal and helped us with everything every step of the way. Between the food, ambiance, party and location, we are so happy and grateful we chose the Sea Shell as our venue. Our guests were so happy and still talk about the wedding months later.

Brittany and Jamiee and the entire Sea Shell crew made our day perfect! They were booked very far out in advance, were responsive to all our questions and were so kind in helping us deal with coronavirus pandemic. We gave them brief guidelines when it came to decorating, the timeline , and so on and they made everything perfect. They have guidelines for the couple to follow and it made things run all the smoother. With one wedding a day, we had freedom in where to go and felt like royalty. Food was great too! The Sea Shell is well worth it!

The Sea Shell was everything we could have asked for in a venue! Absolutely amazing food, beautiful location, and the sweetest family owned resort. I am originally from Hawaii and I knew I wanted a tropical location, but my fiance's family is from New York and couldn't make the 12 hour trip to the islands. So we went on theknot.com and came across The Sea Shell. We were impressed by the pictures and it looked like what I was looking for: a private beach area for a wedding ceremony and it even had palm trees! We made the trip down to Beach Haven to see the venue in person and fell in love. It was even better than the pictures. We met with Tom, the owner of the venue, and he impressed us even more with the menu. They have food options for everyone's taste pallet -- including fresh fish options, which had me sold! Jaimee and Brittany, the daughters of the venue, were our wedding planners and made the planning process so seamless. We got married over a month ago and our wedding guests still rave that our wedding was the best they have ever been to. They can't get over the food, the open bar, and the overall experience they had at The Sea Shell. Many of the guests are planning trips back to visit! Highly recommend doing the Tiki Bar Welcome Party for your Reception Dinner if it's available. It was a great experience for all of our guests. Thank you Sea Shell for making our special day the best we could have ever imagined!!

Everything about the Shell was AMAZING- the food, the location and most importantly Jaimee, Brittany and the entire Sea Shell staff made our wedding day unforgettable! My husband and I knew we wanted a venue that was unique and not your typical Jersey banquet hall and as soon as we stepped foot inside the Sea Shell, we knew it was where we wanted to get married. The Sea Shell is large enough to hold 250 people while still making it feel incredibly intimate.
Our beach wedding was romantic, intimate and fell on the perfect October day. Our ceremony occurred right before sunset on the private beach at the Shell and we walked right into our private, outside cocktail hour afterward. Even though the Shell is open to the public, they close off the area where the ceremony and cocktail hour are making it feel like you’re in your own world. Our reception was held inside and was transformed into a dreamy area full of flowers and candles. We danced into the night which was followed by an awesome after-party of dancing and pizza. The shell is open until 2am and allows you to have fun until closing time!
Jaimee and Brittany make sure that every detail of your wedding is exactly how you want it. Not only do they have several meetings with you prior to your big day but they provide you with a detailed reference guide that I took with me everywhere for the year leading up to my wedding. Everything I needed help with was in that book from their preferred vendors to sample seating charts to anything and everything that you would need to help you plan your wedding. I honestly cannot thank Jaimee, Brittany and the amazing staff for all of their hard work and truly making our wedding day the best day of our lives. I would recommend the Sea Shell to anyone getting married that wants to be transported to an area of NJ that makes it feel like you’re on a tropical island… it really is the perfect wedding venue.

PERFECT!!! From first contact to checkout, the Sea Shell met and exceeded ALL expectations. Jaimee and Brittany are true professionals who know exactly what to recommend and how to guide you to have a flawless wedding day.
They delivered with every aspect... from planning to rehearsal to setup, ceremony, reception and leaving the resort after the weekend. Our beach ceremony went off without a hitch and the cocktail hour & reception completely blew our guests away! Everyone raved to us both during and after the weekend about how great the food was and what a fantastic wedding it was.
You can not go wrong with your decision to have your wedding at The Shell and work with Jaimee and Brittany!

When looking for a venue for our wedding, The Shell offered everything we were looking for. After speaking to Jaimee and Brittany, we knew that was it! They made every decision so easy and perfect. I was so unbelievably comfortable working with them. They helped in every way they could and made sure every detail was perfection. We received so many compliments on the food and atmosphere. Upon arriving to our reception (we chose to have our ceremony at the lighthouse), every centerpiece, candle, dessert area, etc.. was set up perfectly. All we had to do was show up! The staff and bartenders were all so nice and accommodating to us and our guests. Our room was fresh, clean and the ocean view was awesome. I wish I could give the Shell 10 stars. Thank you Jaimee, Brittany, Tom, and all members of the Shell for making our wedding reception truly unforgettable.

Jaimee and Brittany,
On behalf of everyone, we want to extend a huge thank you for such a marvelous event. Your attention to details, the super organization, the very attentive staff, and of course that awesome blue sky and gentle westerly breeze made for an awesome wedding. You are truly professionals in your craft. We would certainly recommend your venue to anyone planning a wedding.
We will all have so many great memories for years to come, and I am confident that when Kayla and Paul look back in the years to come, they will have lots to smile about. As Kayla said to Robin and me when we left, it was everything and more that a little girl could dream of for her wedding day. Just wanted to let you know that you were a huge part of creating that special magic.
Thank you again and all the best,
Gary and Robin

Where do I even begin? This is hands down one of the best places to get married. I could not have been happier to have my wedding at The Sea Shell. Jaimee and Brittany are absolutely incredible to work with. They are so knowledgeable and beyond helpful with every step of your planning. They turned our visions and dreams into reality. The food is absolutely incredible. Almost one month later and we still receive daily messages telling us how the cocktail hour was the best they have ever had and the dinner was amazing. The staff was on top of everything all night long and the bartenders were outstanding. And this doesn’t even begin to describe the atmosphere. It’s magical. The best thing - it can be transformed into anything you want to make it your day. I would recommend this venue to ANYONE looking for their best day ever.

To be honest my husband and I allowed my daughter to pick any venue in NJ she wanted. We were surprised when she picked the Seashell as we thought she was going to pick one of the other two venues you see on the way into the Island. Having disclosed this I am beyond happy that she insisted that the Seashell Beach Club Resort was the venue she chose. Everything and I mean everything was absolutely perfect. From the rooms being clean and gorgeous to the food from the appetizers to the meal being gourmet every detail was handled beautifully. The servers were amazing. The family that owns operates and helps you thru the entire event puts their heart and into the business. They give 110% of themselves. Any problems that arose they took care of prior to it becoming a bigger problem even when it was truly not of their doing or responsibility. Every single individual at the wedding even the hardest critics gave the most glowing reviews and all said they would come back to the Shell again just for a visit with their families. Being able to bring your pets was also an added plus for many as well. Having an after party outside was just perfect everyone loved that just as much as the wedding. They also loved the breakfast the next morning. There is no downside to having your wedding here. We had almost 200 people and everything went so smoothly. The food was over the top. We used the bakery recommendation for the dessert and again that was spot on. The only groans were from people eating too much. Lol. People danced, laughed and had the best time. Tom, Brittany and Jamiee the owner and his two daughters deserve every accolade and more for a job well done. I am sure I will be back for wedding number 2. I guarantee you will not be disappointed if you book this vendor!!!

My wife and I really enjoyed having our wedding at the SeaShell and the whole planning process that took place. Jaimee and Brittany made everything very easy for us as we got to sit back and enjoy the process from start to finish. Our wedding day was one of the best days of our lives and we have the shell to thank for this. The food and drinks were great, the beach was awesome and the sun was shining for us on LBI. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to have their special day on LBI!

The Shell is an amazing place for a wedding. The day could not have been more perfect. Guests had a blast and have been raving about the good time they had. The food, seafood especially, is absolutely amazing. The guests especially loved the cocktail hour. The best part about the venue is the time that the family puts into your special day and they make sure all goes as planned. They also recommend some great vendors, especially photographer and DJ! We couldn't have been happier with the day. We highly recommend the venue.
