If I was a contestant on Miss United States and I was asked “describe your perfect wedding date” I would say “September 21st. Because it’s not too hot and not too cold. All you nee...
d is a light jacket…and Jaimee and Brittany.”
One of the reasons we considered the Shell was because my sister-in-law said she went to a wedding there in 2009 (!!!!) and she STILL thinks about the food and how it was probably the funnest wedding she has ever been to! The Shell, without a doubt, lived up to its reputation in every way.
Jaimee and Brittany are like little cherubs angels sent from above who nudged us along and kept us on track every step of the way. If you are a type B bride, these are the girls for you! They’ve created a sacred tome of a wedding planner with incredible suggested vendors and timelines and everything you could think of to make your planning seamless. (They will still love you even if you ask them questions that are very clearly written out in their planner)
Brittany and Jaimee have created such a well-oiled machine. They personally reached out to everyone who had a food allergy and took the worry out of making sure everyone had their own food. A few days before the wedding we basically just handed them all my things a few days before my wedding then walked into something we never even dreamed of. They understood that we were a bride and groom who just wanted to be silly and light hearted and have a good time, and they truly honored that and gave us the space, both literally and figuratively, to be ourselves.
We have zero regrets. There is not a single thing we would do differently. We felt supported and celebrated, not only by our family and guests, but by Brittany and Jaimee and all the staff from the Sea Shell from the bar tenders, to the wait staff, to the hotel receptionists. We are forever grateful to all of them. Every single one of them made us feel special.
(WARNING: be prepared for no one to shut up about the food for the next decade- it’s that good!)

We couldn't be happier with our wedding at the Shell this September! Jaimee and Britt are the best planners around— when they say they’re available, they mean it. Any question that...
we had along the way, they were right there to answer. We chose a lot of our vendors based on their recommendations, and the list that they’ve curated is fantastic.
And the food? Simply divine! So many of our guests told us that they felt full, but just HAD to have more to try as much as they could. All the staff were so lovely and made sure that everyone had an incredible night. When we were leaving everyone at the Shell on Sunday, it felt like saying so long to old friends. We highly, highly recommend booking your big day at the Sea Shell!

verything runs seamlessly throughout the day. Their professionalism, consistent communication, and attention to detail exceeded our expectations. They truly handle all of the heavy lifting for you. The Sea Shell itself is a well-oiled machine. Most of their staff are wonderful. The food served during cocktail hour and the reception was phenomenal and the menu options were plentiful. Needless to say, we are so glad we choose this venue.

We had an absolute blast at our Wedding at The Shell! From the very starting stages, to the multiple “mid-way” meetings, up until the day of the wedding, Brittany and Jamie helped ...
us keep organized and feel at ease about the entire process. They were a quick text away to help with any questions we had throughout the entire process, and we can’t thank them enough!
As for the venue itself, they nailed it. Everybody told us it was the best food at a wedding cocktail hour they’ve ever had; and there was plenty! We opted to do our ceremony right in the sand/beach area next to where the cocktail hour was held, and this made it incredibly easy for the guest, and ourselves, to enjoy the food and drink as soon as the ceremony ended.
The buffet style dinner made everything easy, and delicious (get the stuffed salmon!). The rest of the night was a blast; the bartenders were generous and with Brittany and Jaimee taking care of everything behind the scenes, we got to focus on spending time with our guests and enjoying the evening. They even helped coordinate getting some late night pizzas after the buffet closed.
We’re so happy we chose The Shell to host the most important day of our lives and we will always cherish the memories!

I cannot boast enough about our wedding at The Sea Shell. Not only is it one of the most beautiful properties on LBI, it is family owned/operated which adds even more to its charm....
We frequent the restaurant during the summer and since the food and atmosphere is always incredible, we knew we wanted to get married here - but our day was even more magical than we could have imagined. The wedding planners, Brittany & Jaimee are true professionals and experts in their craft. The planning process with them was seamless, and as a type A bride I LOVED the open communication they had with us. Any question I had, I knew they were only a call or text away and that made planning our wedding so stress free and wonderful. They made sure everything was exactly how we envisioned it. They don't make you feel like a burden. They take such pride in their work and it shows. We had a last minute potential weather "emergency" with our cocktail hour band and both Jaimee & Brittany were so quick to tackle the issue and make me feel at ease. During the weekend of our wedding they were so accommodating and did everything to make sure our day was perfect. And it truly was. The owner, Tom was also there the day of our wedding, cutting the prime rib, taking care of us: making sure myself, my husband and my social butterfly father ate food since the day flies by. I can go on & on: they really made us feel a part of their family. You can't get any better than the staff and the bartenders at the Shell. So many people have told us it was the best wedding they've ever been to, and that it was the best cocktail hour and dinner food they've ever had. From the beautiful ceremony on their private beach, to the cocktail hour by the pool & tiki bars and the beautiful reception space, we wouldn't change a thing. We had the breakfast the next morning that they offer, and they also turned the fire pits on after our reception, which was amazing!! It gave us even more time with our guests. We both look back on this as the best day of our lives. So special. Thank you!!!!

We can’t say enough good things about The Shell. It’s a family run resort and from our first meeting and tour of the venue, it felt like we were a part of that family.
The Shell ...
has two in-house wedding planners, Brittany and Jaimee, who are the daughters of the owner. They were with us every step of the way during the planning process and really made things as easy and straightforward as possible, which can seem impossible when planning a wedding. And as great as they were during the planning process, they were PHENOMENAL the day of our wedding. We had a couple of snags (unrelated to anything with The Shell) and they went so above and beyond to fix things and make sure our day was perfect. A wedding can be very stressful, but they made it so easy to just sit back, relax, and actually enjoy ourselves instead of having to worry about all the little details that they took care of.
The only thing that might have come close to topping the service was the food. It was absolutely unbelievable. The Shell has by far the best cocktail hour spread of any wedding I’ve ever seen, and people are still complementing us months later on how good the dinner was. To be honest - I was a little nervous about having a buffet dinner instead of a traditional plated meal. But having that buffet allowed everyone to try several different options instead of just one. And given how good all of it was, that was really the only way to go.
The bar package also stood out as a huge highlight. The Shell doesn’t have some generic open bar with a couple different liquors and beer. They have a FULL open bar - they’ll make any cocktail that you can order on a regular day.
If you’re considering The Shell and go in for a tour, I’m sure you’ll hear what I just mentioned as part of the “sales pitch”. Trust me - it’s not just a pitch. This is the place that you want to get married. The Shell has the best people, the best food, and the most fun atmosphere you could possibly imagine. We enjoyed ourselves so much that we’re already talking about making annual trips back every year.

The Sea Shell Resort genuinely could not have been a more perfect wedding venue and choosing them was definitely one of the best decisions we made.
I could talk about how amazing...
the food, location, overall look/vibe, or any of the other general venue-related details were, but the biggest thing for us was how much the wedding coordinators genuinely cared -- that's what made our wedding day so special and why we recommend them a billion times over.
The Shell is a family owned and operated business, and I can't stress enough how much that impacts the experience you get across the board compared to other venues and wedding/event coordinators. A typical wedding/event coordinator is just doing their job when they show up to work every day, and there's heavy turnover in a role like that, which leads to disorganization and lack of care/attention. Jaimee & Brittany (the wedding coordinators at the Shell) have been doing this their entire lives and care deeply about the experience they provide. They've seen it all and know exactly what to do/not to do, and will go above and beyond to make your big day as stress free and special as possible -- the high bar set by their parents when they opened the Shell is evident across every part of the planning process, and even more so on your big day.
Everyone always warns you that "something will go wrong" on your big day, and unfortunately that warning was valid. My makeup artist "got creative" while doing my makeup for the wedding, and used some pencil in my waterline that wasn't waterproof, which nearly ruined our wedding for me because it kept bleeding onto my contact lenses and I literally couldn't see. Jaimee and Brittany immediately dropped everything to figure out how to fix it -- one of them legit strapped on plastic gloves, found makeup remover wipes, and wiped off as much as they could from inside my eyelid while the other ran around trying to find someone with contact lens solution so I could clean off my contacts. They could've easily shrugged and said "here's a makeup wipe" and left me to figure it out myself, but they didn't -- that's the difference in the experience you get with the Shell.
Jaimee and Brittany were amazing through the entire wedding planning process and we can't say enough. Their recommended vendor list is the shit. If you book them, just know you're safe with anyone they recommend -- we LOVED our band, Captain Eric & The Shipwrecks, our photographer, Alex Rivera from Ann Cohen Photography, and our florist, Erin from Wildflower Farms.
Our guests are still talking about how much fun they had and how amazing the food was. We've had multiple people ask "who catered your wedding?" because the food was so good and they couldn't believe the venue just had that great of a menu and the food tasted as good as it did.
Long story short -- do yourself a favor and get married at the Shell!

y step of the way to make sure you aren’t overwhelmed & all of your dreams of your perfect day come to life! They know what they’re doing!! It was a gorgeous day and we got married on their private beach which was something super important to my husband since he did not want to get married on the public beach! Our guest couldn’t stop raving about the food and the drinks! They said it was the best prime rib they had ever had! The presentation of all the food was immaculate! If you are looking to have a beach wedding in New Jersey, this is the place!! You are their only wedding for the day and they treat you like royalty! I wish I could relive the day over & over!

ake the day go seamless, and giving us a booklet to make sure we stayed on track when it came to vendors and staying on track for the wedding so nothing got away from us. We had multiple meetings with them leading up to the wedding to make sure we booked and had everything ready for our big day, and to make sure they were ready. We can say that everything went off without a hitch! The coordinators were amazing and the food was quite literally some of the best food we’ve ever had, we still have guests talking about the food being the best they’ve had. If you want fantastic food at a wedding and an amazing background at a beach, this is the place to book. We highly recommend doing the brunch option for next day, the food is amazing again. This is a lovely resort that’s family owned and cared for year after year. Brittany and Jaimee will help you find your vendors and will make sure everything runs perfectly for your perfect day. We have no complaints, they did a wonderful job from start to finish. We look forward to visiting our wedding location year after year.

Genuinely cannot recommend this venue enough. All of the vendors work together with them regularly, which makes everything so easy. The food is out of this world, which is just the icing on the cake. Don’t even think twice, just book your wedding here. Thank you guys again for making our day perfect!

We got married on 9.25.2025 and we cannot thank Jaimee and Brittany enough for absolutely nailing our wedding. It was everything we dreamed of and so much more. From start to finis...
h, they radiated such calmness and confidence that made it effortless for us to fully relax and be present in every moment. Their entire staff was so cool, charming, and attentive, creating the most welcoming atmosphere for us and our guests. Jaimee and Brittany thought of details we never would have considered and gave such thoughtful tips right before our ceremony for us and our bridal party that made it flow seamlessly. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about the food, the atmosphere, and how beautiful everything was. The Sea Shell itself was pure magic, its rustic coastal vibe embodied us perfectly and created the dreamiest backdrop for the day. One of our favorite moments was when Jaimee shared an old wives’ tale to ward off the rain: take a shot of blackberry brandy. Let’s just say, if Jaimee tells you to take the shot... you take the shot! And sure enough, the skies cleared for us. Because of them, we truly felt like guests at our own wedding, carefree, present, and overflowing with joy. We didn’t have to worry about a single thing, and that is the greatest gift we could have asked for. If you’re lucky enough to work with Jaimee and Brittany, you are in the best hands imaginable!!!! Thank you so much for making our day unforgettable!

My Dream Wedding Come True at The Sea Shell!
I’ve been coming to LBI my entire life so when it came time to look at wedding venues it was a no brainer that it had to be The Sea Sh...
ell. We got married at The Shell on September 18th, 2025 and from the moment we arrived at The Sea Shell, we knew we were about to experience something magical — but nothing could have prepared us for how truly unforgettable our wedding turned out to be. Every single detail was pure perfection, and we owe it all to the breathtaking venue and the absolute rockstars who brought our vision to life: Jaimee and Brittany.
Let’s start with The Sea Shell itself — it was so important to me that our venue captured the true beauty of LBI and The Sea Shell did that and so much more. From the serene ocean views to the beautifully manicured grounds, every inch of the property radiates classic LBI charm. The ceremony space was like something out of a magazine, and the reception area felt like it was something out of a fairytale; filled with romance and candles everywhere. Our guests couldn’t stop commenting on how stunning everything looked and how much fun they had! We received countless compliments about the food, most guests saying it was the best food they’d ever had at a wedding!
But what truly made our experience next-level was the incredible coordination, creativity, and care from Jaimee and Brittany. These two are wedding whisperers. From the first planning call to the final dance of the night, they were hands-on, thoughtful, responsive, and somehow always five steps ahead of every potential hiccup (not that there were any!) They made my vision come to life and made the entire wedding process so easy. From the beginning they provided us with a step by step guide filled with countless vendors. Not to mention, every vendor we reached out to had nothing but incredible things to say about The Sea Shell and all were excited to work a wedding there.
Jaimee and Brittany took the time to get to know us as a couple, and it showed in every detail — the personalized décor, the flow of the timeline, the special touches that made the day feel like ours. They handled everything with grace and professionalism, even when we had last-minute requests. They made it all feel effortless — which is wild, because we know how much hard work went into pulling off such a flawless event.
If you’re looking for a resort that delivers beauty, comfort, and exceptional service, look no further than The Sea Shell. And if you’re lucky enough to have Jaimee and Brittany as your planners? Trust me, you’re in the very best hands. Our wedding wasn’t just an event — it was a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and we are forever grateful.
Thank you, Sea Shell. And thank you, Jaimee and Brittany — you made our dream day a reality, and we’ll never forget it!

We were also so impressed with the vendors they recommended. Each one was fantastic to work with and fit perfectly with our vision.
Between the incredible food (especially cocktail hour!), the wonderful team, and the unforgettable memories, we couldn’t have asked for a better wedding day.

What sets the Seashell Resort apart from every other wedding venue? Two incredible women: Brittany and Jaimee.
My wife and I were married here a few weeks ago with family flying ...
in from all over the country. It poured the entire day—you’d think that would ruin a beach wedding. But thanks to Brittany and Jaimee, it didn’t. Their calm, detailed guidance made the whole process smooth, even in the rain. They showed us what ideas would elevate the day (and which to skip), connected us with trusted vendors, brought my wife’s vision to life, and even delivered my one request: a full prosciutto tower.
The real magic, though, was how their whole family treated us like their own. Their mom was there supporting us, and their father—the owner—was literally carving prime rib for our dog, Tallulah, because she was part of the wedding too. That warmth made the day unforgettable.
And the thoughtful touches kept coming. After the reception, we found all of our favorite desserts waiting in our room, carefully set aside in case we missed anything from the incredible menu. Then the next day, when a rental company was on-site for another event, Brittany and Jaimee took it upon themselves to coordinate with them to haul away our massive throne-style photo chair—something they had no obligation to do—saving us the headache of packing and transporting it ourselves so we could actually relax and enjoy the day after our wedding.
Oh, and by the way—it’s not just a venue. This is a full resort, right on the beach...with real palm trees swaying outside. Step out the door and you honestly feel like you’ve been transported to an island getaway—without ever leaving New Jersey.
If you want a breathtaking place where you’re treated like family and not just another client, choose the Seashell Resort. Our wedding was unforgettable—not because everything went perfectly, but because Brittany and Jaimee made it perfect for us. Our family and friends are still talking about it, and I know they will for years.

If you're searching for a venue in New Jersey that captures the essence of the Florida Keys, look no further than the Sea Shell Resort! I can hardly express how incredible our wedd...
ing experience was there. Brittany and Jaimee are truly exceptional; they took care of everything, providing us with a comprehensive checklist so we didn’t have to worry about a thing. From start to finish, their support was outstanding.
When my husband requested a prosciutto tower, they made it happen without hesitation! They embraced all our ideas and offered alternatives when needed. We are immensely grateful to them for making our day not just special, but truly beautiful. Even when it rained, they had a backup plan, and our ceremony under the tiki hut was breathtaking.
The reception area was stunning, bringing my vision to life thanks to these two amazing women. Our guests couldn't stop raving about the delicious food—my personal favorite was the prime rib, which the owner even served himself. The entire staff at the Sea Shell was wonderful; should out to Sherry (also the Owner) who was bringing me water with a straw so I wouldn't ruin my lip gloss before the ceremony. The staff genuinely seemed happy to be part of our celebration and ensured everything ran smoothly.
When the night was over, we went back to our rooms and champagne, extra food and dessert was waiting for us. No details were missed!
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts—this venue deserves a solid 10/10!

We absolutely loved everything about our experience at the Seashell. From the moment we reached out to the day after the wedding, we got detail and in depth communication with Jaim...
ee and Brittany. We planned our wedding from out of state and picked this venue sight unseen due to the communication, professionalism, and all the venue had to offer. Jaimee and Brittany made themselves so accessible, even outside of our scheduled planning meetings, and were so detail orientated. They also let us take our time on making decisions that were important to us.
The food and beauty of the venue drew us to the Shell and did not disappoint. Everyone we have talk to has raved about the cocktail hour, dinner options, and how "destination wedding" it felt. We also were super happy with the room block and ability to get ready at the resort. Choosing the Seashell also allowed us to connect with vendors who were incredible, but also knew the Shell so well. This allowed us to be so stress free leading up to and the day of the wedding. Having a wedding at the Seashell Resort allowed us to trust in the set up and proceedings of the day and not worry about anything other than getting married and having fun.
The week of our wedding was colder and rainy, and being drawn in to the beach ceremony, we were worried about how everything would play out. Brittany and Jaimee did a great job of helping us understand all different back up options, while ensuring their push to be outside. It stormed up to 2 hours before our ceremony start time, but as soon as the weather cleared, we knew they would do everything that could to allow us the beach ceremony we wanted. We also felt so confident going into the day because of how detailed the rehearsal was.
Everything looked incredible, tasted incredible, and was so stress free. We had the most incredible day and we could not recommend the Seashell enough!!

If the Sea Shell Resort has made it on your top list of wedding venues, please remove every other option you are considering and choose The Shell. From the moment we walked in tour...
ing with Tom (owner/chef&father) he said “we don’t do traditional weddings here nor do we want to.” We didn’t need to hear more.
Brittany and Jaimee the Event Coordinators are experts in their field, they do not just give you a wedding but make your once in a lifetime experience everything you imagine it to be. They are the perfect wedding venue and the kindest most genuine people I’ve had the privilege of working with. There isn’t a detail they missed or scenario they aren’t prepared for. The meetings leading up to the big day kept everyone informed and they covered everything. (Leading up to the wedding they even let us practice our first dance in the room because I was so nervous.)
The food menu & cocktail hour beats out every weddings I’ve ever been to. The quality of food and uniqueness of options were something we were excited about and our guests raved about. We didn’t even do a trial, we trusted them to choose a lot of it. They even went as far as reaching out to each guest personally who had an allergy or dietary restriction and walked them through in great detail options they could turn to.
They were with us through every step of the way and were there to support us. Nothing went wrong and it was because of them. Every little detail I had envisioned their team helped bring to life. From specific frames in certain areas to a plethora of candles, collages, treat stations & so much more. Everything I hoped for, came to life with their help. I cried walking in the room seeing it all.
The room set up is a perfect space, big dance floor, big bar and just everything we hoped it would be. The king style tables set for a lovely intimate wedding with 180 of our closest friends and family.
They also allowed our dogs to be a part of the day and let them stay at the hotel and join the party.
The next day we had a brunch that blew everyone away with a continuous theme of delicious foods & great service. They helped pack everything up the next day and didn’t push or rush us out of there.
From the front desk staff Andy, to all the bartenders, everyone was so wonderful and did so great. Everyone kept raving about how kind their whole family was working. From their mother offering to give one of our guests her own sweater to their father cutting the meat that everyone wanted more of. They are a family business who make every one of their clients feel like family too.
Thank you everyone for making it the best day of our lives. You have customers every summer when we return to LBI and some of your biggest fans for life.
Choose The Sea Shell Resort for your wedding if you’re looking for a venue and people who will make it the easiest, happiest most enjoyable day of your life because that’s what it was for us.
Thank you,
Kirsten & Brian Lutz

We loved everything about the sea shell! My husband and I got married there this past week and Jamie and Brittany and all of the Sea Shell family was amazing and very accommodating...
. The venue made our wedding so convenient for our guests to be able to stay in one place! The space was beautiful and clean and they made our wedding space look even more beautiful than we could of imagined :) having our ceremony on the beach and being able to enjoy some cocktails by the pool and tiki bar made everyone feel they were at a destination wedding and only had to drive just a few hours:)
AND THE FOOD! our guests and I could not stop talking about it! So many options and everything tasted amazing.
We would highly reccomend the sea shell to any of our friends and family for the future and we hope to be back again soon!

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 l...
oved 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.

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 nev...
er 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.

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

ludes 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!

act 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!!

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, w...
e 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 dec...
ided 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!

stination 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 w...
e 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.

ncredible. 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 ama...
zing, 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!

t 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.

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!

etailed. 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!

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 li...
fe! 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.
