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 ye...ar 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!!
