The SIC yacht club did such an AMAZING job on our wedding. They far exceeded our expectations. They went above and beyond to make the day perfect. They did an amazing job setting up the decor. The waiter and bartending staff was fabulous. The food was incredible from appetizers to the main course. Both Caitlin and Caitie were amazing at helping us out through the whole wedding planning process.

I could not recommend the Yacht Club in any higher terms! From the jump, Caitlin and her team were absolutely amazing. They were flexible, communicative, and collaborative, and they were committed to seeing our vision through. I have friends who have been married at "corporate" venues (ie, where the venue only exists for weddings), and the lack of flexibility and adaptability at those places was stunning to me. The Yacht Club made sure that our wedding felt like ours -- from customizing the menu, to crafting a personalized cocktail, to allowing us to bring in our own wedding arch, to moving furniture around in the lobby, to creating an espresso martini station -- Caitlin, Jim, Evan, and Jordan were the true heroes of our wedding day! The food was also PHENOMENAL, from the appetizers to the perfectly cooked filet, our guests could not stop raving about the meal! The bartending and service staff was also out of this world. Everyone was so friendly and were committed to making sure our guests had a great time! And that view!!! You truly will not find a better waterfront venue and view at the shore.

We got married at YCSIC in Sept 2023. It was the honestly the best choice we made for our wedding. Caitlin, the coordinator, was absolutely amazing, answered all our questions and made sure everything was exactly how we wanted it. The rest of the staff we met was also fantastic and helped make sure everything ran smoothly. The venue itself is so beautiful especially being right on the water. We loved the simple decor because it really just let the view be the main center point. Having the bar upstairs for our after party was so easy and it made things so simple for us and our guests. The pricing was great and food was amazing. I absolutely cannot recommend YCSIC enough. We had the best day and planning was not stressful with all their help.

We got married at the Yacht Club and everything was amazing!! We were originally supposed to have our wedding and reception in September 2020 but had to move everything to September 2021 due to the pandemic. The Yacht Club was extremely accommodating with the whole process of needing to move the wedding. Additionally, the event coordinator was very detail-oriented. I gave her the details of how I wanted things set up the day of the wedding and they took care of everything. People really enjoyed the food, commenting that it was so much better than typical wedding food (and I definitely agree). Overall we had an incredible time, and so did all of our guests.

I wish I could give more than 5 stars! I had my wedding here mid-May and it was better than I could have ever imagined. Food was incredible, staff was absolutely outstanding, and everything went so well! From set-up, questions, specific requests, the Yacht Club coordinator Caitlin was there to assist. She is wonderful along with the whole YCSIC staff. Even when my dress bustle broke, a staff member helped me in the bathroom with her own sewing kit to make sure my night went perfect. Wish I could relive the day and night all over again!
Also this says they don’t offer covered ceremony - I rented a tent and flooring and made my own ceremony on the parking lot. The staff was super helpful and it turned out beautiful!

The Yacht Club was absolutely amazing from the event coordinator to the staff to the bartenders. Everyone brought their A game and more. The venue was more than willing to work with us on our vision and the executed it to perfection. We could not ask for more from them.

Look no further if you want a beautiful venue on the water for a decent price! Heather being my planner and her husband being the chef were perfection! First of all I never had one problem getting a hold of Heather, she responded to me almost right away every single time I messaged or called her. She legit made sure everything was perfect and we had everything we needed. We told her our family are big foodies and we want people to leave our wedding stuffed and they sure did!! Food was flowing all night long and it had so much taste! It was not that typical wedding food, it was amazing! Words can’t explain how thankful I am that I had an awesome planner like that especially during covid!

I do not even know if I can put into words how perfect the Yacht Club made my special day! Heather & Michelle truly went above and beyond to make sure every single thing was perfect. I never had to worry about a thing because they were on top of everything from making sure I ate to setting up the beautiful reception room. Heather was so organized and kept on top of everything I needed to get done leading up to the day. The food was AMAZING. Still getting texts/emails about how delicious the food was and is it possible to just go there for dinner! The ceremony went so smooth because the staff partnered with the DJ to make sure everything was set up and music was synced with us walking out. I really cannot describe how accommodating everyone was and helped me with every request I made. I can’t imagine celebrating our special day anywhere else than at the yacht club with their very special staff. Christina & Josh

The Yacht Club and everyone who works there is amazing! Heather was so helpful from the first to the last minute of planning our wedding and always made herself available for all of my questions. At the tasting we asked Michelle for some recommendations and she talked to the chef for us and we were so glad we took their advice. All of our guests commented on how wonderful the food was and how friendly all of the servers and bartenders were. I hope one day I get to go back as a guest!

We are beyond happy with our choice to have had our wedding at the Yacht Club of Sea Isle City! Heather was an absolute joy to work with and was always there to help with anything we could possibly imagine. She truly made our day the very best alongside her wonderful team at YCSIC. On the day of the wedding, it was raining and we decided to have our ceremony inside instead of outside on the docks. I did not have to worry one bit about the change of location as Heather and her team handled it extremely well. They set up everything inside and directed the guests as needed. It was such a relief to have a solid plan B given you never know on the day of what Mother Nature will do. We are grateful for the YCSIC who made our wedding day the most memorable day we could have ever imagined. Even with some bad weather, nothing could have rained on our parade that day. We can't wait to come back for a visit!

We are so happy that we chose the Yacht Club of Sea Isle City for our wedding reception. They did an absolutely beautiful job and made our wedding day everything we could have dreamed of and more. Heather was incredible to work with and made it such an seamless experience, she had all of the answers and was always so quick to respond. She made the entire planning process as easy as possible and I am so grateful. The entire staff was awesome from the bartenders, kitchen and wait staff everyone was very friendly and professional. The food was also delicious we offered filet, flounder with crab and scallops and we received many compliments! Overall this venue space is beautiful and the view is spectacular. Me and my husband can’t thank you enough for making our wedding day so amazing and the best day ever for us! We would recommend the Yacht Club without hesitation! Thank you all so much! -Bonnie & Bill

We absolutely could not say enough amazing things about the Yacht Club. Heather was phenomenal- the most accommodating, easily accessible, super helpful, and all around lovely person. The food was incredible- we’ve gotten so many compliments about the Cocktail Style dinner. The views were gorgeous as well, especially from the deck at sunset. HIGHLY recommend!

Heather was wonderful to work with in coordinating my reception. It was a bit pricey, but so worth it. The servers were wonderful, the food was amazing, and Heather coordinated everything for me and set up the day of so I had no worries. It was great that the weather was amazing for our wedding day, so the views from the yacht club were spectacular and I cant wait to see all our final pictures!! Our guests continue to compliment us on how awesome the venue was and how great the food was.

Everyone at the Yacht Club of Sea Isle did everything possible to make the day unforgettable for my husband and I. Heather and her team went above and beyond to make it perfect and I appreciated every detail.
I heard from so many guests the following: so many delicious appetizers, never ran out or had to wait long for another hot delicious one to come along, especially the chops! Dinner was equally complimented and again, hot and hot plates, apparently a lot of people notice this. Crab cake was the best people ever had and the filet melted in their mouths. Bartenders were friendly, went out of their way and never missed a beat! And personally I extend many compliments on how the flow worked so smoothly for such a large group. Having worked as a banquet server for 8 years I know this isn't always easy. The tables looked incredible as well as all the other decor, better than I was imagining!
I had known they would do an amazing job, I just never thought it could have been that perfect on such an imperfect weather day. The YCSIC made the entire process so fun for us. We cant stop saying how lucky we are that we get to return to our wedding venue again and again and be among such great people!

My husband and I are both from the Philadelphia area, but wanted a somewhat "destination wedding" to celebrate our big day. We both have spent summer vacations in Sea Isle every year from the time we were kids so a wedding in Sea Isle made sense for us. When we came across the Yacht Club of Sea Isle City, we knew we had found the perfect place! The venue is gorgeous...clean, fresh, a classic look, huge deck, amazing view overlooking the bay, nice bathrooms, etc.
From the start, Heather (the wedding coordinator) was so pleasant and extremely easy to work with. She is honest, timely, and organized, and was honestly one of the saving graces of our wedding planning because of how reliable she is and how efficiently she works. She took the time to understand what we wanted out of our wedding day and helped us make that happen. Unlike a lot of other vendors, she responded quickly to emails and always answered all of the questions I had.
In addition to Heather, the entire YCSIC staff is incredible! On the day of our wedding, the 25mph winds prevented us from having the ceremony on the beach. The staff, including the General Manager, worked with my dad and husband to rearrange our plans and theirs, and have the wedding on the dock behind the club. They were SO flexible with our day-of decision, so much so that you would have never known it was a last minute change. The ceremony was more beautiful than I ever could have imagined and we were so happy it ended up on the dock.
The food was amazing! We had a cocktail-style wedding, which was such an awesome option for a wedding style, especially with our guest list of 230 people. Since our wedding, so many of our guests have raved about the appetizers, the entrees, and how great the staff was. The staff packed up food for my husband and I to take with us after the wedding, knowing we'd be too busy to eat. Furthermore, Heather organized a really cool group tasting several months before the wedding, where we got to taste pretty much everything on the menu. They were also so accommodating with special requests that we had such as a specialty cocktail and bringing in ice cream for dessert.
Obviously every couple wants their wedding day to be amazing and perfect, and I have to say that ours was an absolute dream come true because of the YCSIC! Thank you YCSIC!!

I grew up spending my summers in Sea Isle City. My husband and I met down there. I always dreamt of getting married in that town. The Yacht Club of Sea Isle made the celebration part of our dreams an amazing reality. From our first visit, Heather, (the event coordinator) was amazing! She never pushed us to choose the Yacht Club as our venue but she was accommodating and quick to answer any questions we had. (And we had a lot!). She was helpful and understanding; and she never pushed us towards anything other than what we wanted.
The food tasting was amazing, and his introduced us to the chef, Kevin. They had so many great options for appetizers and meal choices. We had a sit down dinner.
As the wedding came closer, Heather helped us with all of the little stressful details. She made the process so smooth and stress free. She even ran out and grabbed a few things we had forgotten for the wedding to make things less stressful for us.
We were married on March 28, 2015. The night of the reception was better than I could have ever imagined! It was freezing out so we couldn't take advantage of the deck, however, the cocktail hour was set up so beautifully that no one seemed to notice. Heather and her staff did all of the set up work for our homemade centerpieces and they looked gorgeous! She made sure everything else was set up the way we requested and no detail was overlooked.
The night of the reception, we didn’t have to worry about a thing. Our food was just as good if not better than the tasting. After the wedding, everyone talked about how delicious everything was. Our choices were chicken francaise, filet, and jumbo lump crab cakes. We personally had the crab cakes and filet. The filet was cooked to perfection and the crab cakes are huge and are ALL jumbo lump crab.
We ended up choosing the top bar package which came with a wide variety of top shelf alcohol. The bartenders were so friendly and fun. Some of our guests even asked them to take a photo in the photo booth with them!
We were so happy that we chose the Yacht Club of Sea Isle to celebrate the happiest day of our lives!

I had my reception at the Yacht Club and it was amazing! The views from the balcony are absolutely breathtaking, the food was amazing and the people were very friendly and helpful. I can't say enough great things about this beautiful place. They also set up a beach ceremony for me that I didn't have to worry once about. Seriously, you will not regret booking here! Thanks so much Heather!

I booked the Yacht Club prior to their reopening and I never had a doubt that it would be anything less than wonderful. The wedding coordinator, Heather, did such an amazing job to make our day absolutely beautiful. She was always quick to answer emails and fulfill any request. Everything from the decor to the food was perfect and our guests all agreed. I honestly cannot say enough good things about the venue and their staff. I would highly recommend this venue!

From the year of planning to the day of the wedding the Sea Isle Yacht Club was amazing. The wedding coordinator, Heather, never said no to a request. She found a way to make everything we wanted work. On the day of the wedding they transformed the venue into the space of my dreams!
The views are spectacular. It is one of the best large venues down the shore. There is a long waiting list to have your wedding here, but it is well worth the wait!
