Yacht Club of Stone Harbor

ave imagined. The room was stunning — the views, the atmosphere, and the way Dominique and our vendors transformed the space for the reception made the whole day feel magical. A huge part of what made it all so special was the on-site coordinator, Dominique. She went above and beyond in every possible way — always patient and organized at each step and all the challenges we threw her way. She helped us navigate every detail and made sure the day ran perfectly. We could actually relax and enjoy every moment knowing she had everything handled. Our guests are still talking about how gorgeous the venue was and how smooth everything felt. If you’re considering the Yacht Club of Stone Harbor for your wedding, do it — it’s truly the perfect combination of beach-y charm, waterfront elegance, and top-notch service from all of the staff. We’re so grateful to the whole team for giving us the wedding of our dreams!

and I wanted them. The entire YCSH team truly helped make our day so special and perfect. I highly recommend the YCSH if you want to get married down the shore!!

orgeous both inside and outside.   There was never a wait at the bar and the appetizers and meal were delicious.  The staff was extremely attentive and everything throughout the day and night ran perfectly.  Our guests repeatedly complimented the yacht club and their staff for hosting a fantastic event.  

ing day because they had everything taken care of.  The Yacht Club really knows how to put on an amazing wedding.  They have a fantastic tasting that was so fun and answers any initial questions.  And as the wedding gets closer they are so great about making and keeping a tight schedule so the wedding goes so smoothly.  I loved how well them manage the bar so there was never a line for our guests (which is my personal pet peeve). I could not have imagined a better place to get married.  

lf— everything felt so personalized. We felt like we were welcoming our guests into our home the night of our wedding reception. We received nothing but raving reviews regarding the food and service. The bar was top notch and the beer boat is such a fun added bonus. The recent renovations have truly elevated the space— classic elegance but warm. YCSH might be the Jersey shore’s best kept secret in premier wedding venues and we would highly recommend to anyone. 

elicious, the venue is absolutely stunning and the staff is professional. We had guests with dietary restrictions and they accommodated them seamlessly. The best decision you can make for your wedding day! 

e day of. Dominique was a godsend- to the point, confident, and made sure we were comfortable and relaxed at all times. She treated us like family, which helped us relax and focus on one another rather than the wedding details.  The venue is gorgeous. While it is a bit more intimate, we loved that there were multiple areas for guests to hang out when they weren’t on the dance floor- the big bar (with attentive and fast bartenders, a small lounge area, and the deck outback facing the water. We can’t recommend YCSH enough!! 

ication, decor, and food. Thank you again!

. The staff at YCSH were accommodating and flexible with our change and helped us every step of the way which we appreciated. I would highly recommend booking YCSH as your wedding venue!

ful to Dominique and the entire team at YCSH for helping us having a wonderful wedding day!

rocess, anytime we suggested something, Dominique was one step ahead. So much thought and planning went into it that the day of, we truly could just show up and the Yacht Club took care of the rest. Not to mention the view! Our guests loved that we were right on the water, and could enjoy our cocktail hour while looking out at the bay. Inside, the YC flags give a very unique, American feel rather than so many places that can feel like a conference room. We are so grateful to the entire team for making our special day seamless. THANK YOU YCSH!

requests and her great attitude. The venue is absolutely stunning and the team will make sure every detail comes true. We love you very much and will miss working with you - thank you for everything!

our dreams come true, made sure all of our questions were answered, and ensured the venue was laid out to meet our vision. Most importantly, the whole staff was more than accommodating when the weather didn’t cooperate on our wedding day. Our guests could not say enough about our reception at YCSH. Whether it be the beautiful view of the channel from the deck, the club’s spacious interior, the quality of the appetizers during cocktail hour, or the entrees that were served at dinner, everything was amazing. The bartenders and staff were all extremely friendly, kind, and efficient. We cannot recommend the Yacht Club of Stone Harbor enough, and were so thankful to have them be a part of our special day.

iful location with a perfect setup for a fun night to remember. The staff was amazing, the food was unbelievable and the price was just around average price for wedding venue expenses. The wedding coordinators were always available if we had any questions and they did an amazing job setting up all our decorations on the big day. Couldn’t recommend this venue more, we truly had the best day of our lives there!

and made the wedding planning process fun. I HIGHLY Reccomend this Venue for a wedding. Wedding guests have been raving to me months after the wedding surrounding the overall day, venue, and amazing time they had!

nding the room. The staff was incredible to work with from start to finish. From our walkthrough, to the tasting, to the numerous questions throughout the planning process, to the day of coordinating and more, Emma and Dominique were professional, beyond helpful and such a joy to work with. They made every step of the way seamless and stress free, and were always available for every need. They listened to our vision and made our wedding day perfect. The food was delicious and we received numerous compliments from guests on how much they enjoyed their meal. The servers and bartenders were beyond friendly and readily available from all our guests' needs. We cannot say enough about the Yacht Club of Stone Harbor. Thank you to everyone at the club for making our wedding the best day we could have ever asked for

le food, gorgeous views, and excellent staff. As soon as we met Dominique, I knew that there was no one better to coordinate our wedding reception. Her calmness, attention to detail, and enthusiasm made me feel so at ease. Emma was excellent at coordinating the schedule of the night and working with staff to make it happen! Her suggestion of adding a raw bar and charcuterie display was a HUGE crowd favorite. They also remembered my dad's favorite drink, and made sure that there were Coke bottles on deck for the night. :) Like we had heard from many other locals, the food was OUTSTANDING. Many of our family members congratulated us and left the night saying how incredible the food was. Everything that we had asked for, they exceeded our expectations. They were flexible, attentive, and excited to help make our dreams come true. :) Thank you so much YCSH team!!!🩵

day.

ke sure their ceremony was beautiful inside. The club is an open canvas to decor it any way you wish and the staff helps you with your vision. Our wedding was a chinoiserie theme and it was beautiful. Stress was high that day due to the rain and other interruptions and Dominique was amazing calming all of our nerves. Lastly the food was amazing! Our guests are still talking about it. Best venue on the island !

YCSH. Even our food tasting was such a delightful day, the service was just exceptional and food was amazing! We had an onsite ceremony which we highly recommend, the view is just incredible and the way the coordinators set up the flow makes it such a smooth transition for you and guests. Everyone loved the huge outdoor patio and the long bar was perfect - no one was waiting for drinks. We had a private room/bar area for our bridal party as well which everyone loved. Just an absolutely perfect place to get married on the water. 11/10 recommend this venue!

e throughout the planning process and on the big day itself were truly remarkable. Pete's enthusiastic bar service kept our guests happy late into the night, and Jackie's constant assistance was invaluable. The culinary expertise displayed by your chef with impressive appetizers and the scrumptious filet and seafood boat was simply outstanding. It was a true culinary delight that our guests won't soon forget. Our wedding day was made truly special, thanks to your fantastic staff who went above and beyond to ensure every detail was perfect. We are incredibly grateful for the wonderful memories created at the Stone Harbor Yacht Club.

say that the YCSH deserves a solid five-star wedding venue rating. From the moment we arrived at the venue, it was clear that we were in for a treat. The setting was nothing short of picturesque, with scenic landscapes and stunning architecture that provided a perfect backdrop for the day’s celebrations. The staff’s professionalism and attention to detail were outstanding. They went above and beyond to ensure that every aspect of the wedding was executed flawlessly. From coordinating the ceremony to serving a delectable feast, their dedication to making the day special for us and our guests was evident. Speaking of the feast, the culinary experience was exceptional. The menu was a delightful fusion of flavors, and each dish was beautifully presented. It was evident that the chef took great care in crafting a memorable dining experience that pleased every palate. Our reception was a blast, with fantastic entertainment that kept everyone dancing and celebrating throughout the evening. The band knew exactly how to read the crowd and played the perfect tunes to keep the party going. YCSH wedding venue is nothing short of spectacular. It offers a dream-like setting, impeccable service, exquisite cuisine, and an unforgettable atmosphere. If you’re looking for the ideal place to celebrate your special day, I wholeheartedly recommend this venue for an exceptional wedding experience that will leave you and your guests with cherished memories for years to come. Five stars all the way!

ssionalism. From the planning stages to the day of the wedding, the staff at the Yacht Club went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly. The attention to detail and the level of service provided were exceptional. Our guests were thoroughly impressed, and we couldn't have asked for a more perfect venue for our special day. If you're considering the Stone Harbor Yacht Club for your event, I highly recommend it. It truly exceeded all our expectations.

staff was wonderful! Our guests said it was the best wedding they have been to! They especially loved the beer boat on the deck. It saved the guests from waiting in a line to grab a drink. Everyone raved about the food too! The venue is absolutely breathtaking. My wedding at YCSH was perfect!

kdrop. Emma and Dominique were wonderful to work with - both in planning and the day of our wedding! They were instrumental in bringing our Jersey Shore Wedding vision to life. All staff members were attentive and provided excellent service throughout our wedding preparation, ceremony, and reception. Our guests raved about the service and food as well. I highly recommend the Yacht Club of Stone Harbor for a wedding! I wish I could do mine all over again!

n the water, and the event space has a big bar, amazing patio and large dining area/dancefloor area. It was amazing to have everything in one spot. Folks moved from the ceremony, to the bar, to the cocktail hour, to dinner & dancing with total ease. The staff were flexible and extremely responsive through the whole process. The food and dinner service specifically was fantastic, and when we had to move our ceremony inside last minute, they were prepared! I would recommend them to any and all people looking to have a wedding in the South Jersey area without a doubt!

Harbor because we knew that they take care to make every bride and family feel like theirs is the most important wedding they've ever done, and it's true. From the beginning--the early planning, the tasting and menu planning, the advice on vendors, all the way through to the last few crucial days when they consummately calmed a nervous bride and her mom---the staff at the Yacht Club know exactly how to help you realize the most perfect wedding. Our guest are raving about the venue, the bartenders, the dinner, the sunset, the little perfec things like water stations and vanity basket in the ladies room...candles everywhere, it was a romantic, perfect event that would never have happened without the care and talent, knowledge and professionalism of the staff at the Yacht Club. Our family will be eternally grateful for how they made our daughter's wedding reception so absolutely perfect. Don't hesitate to make the decision to host your wedding here. You'll be so glad that you did!

ave asked for better weather and better venue. From planning years out, to the actual night of, everything was GREAT.

We had multiple conference calls, for which Dominque and Emma were well prepared. They were flexible and open to our unique design plan, helped us create the wedding of our daughter's dreams and were very excited (along with us) to bring the vision to life. Their confidence and delivery of service and hospitality, made the experience more relaxing than stressful. Sidenote: we planned this event from Michigan, and even that was not a problem for this team. Bravo! We received so many compliments on the venue and the entire staff - we highly recommend using the YCSH to anyone.

receiving rave comments. No need for a wedding planner-The Event Coordinators were professional and extremely patient and accommodating with my many requests. The YCSH provided a lovely and memorable wedding day for my daughter and her husband!

CSH for your wedding. It was truly the best day ever

s. Our quests had a wonderful time. We know we did!

nning process and the rehearsal, ceremony and reception run smoothly. They are extremely professional and talented. Every detail and request we asked they made sure to accommodate. Getting married on the bay in Stone Harbor is the perfect setting. The food was amazing and drinks refreshing. Our ceremony was breathtaking, and the drink display with the sailboat was a hit. The surf and turf was delicious. I could go on and on... It was a dream. Everything about this venue is perfect.

hen you book YCSH, you are booking an experienced team, who is incredibly accommodating and anticipates your every want and need. Their amazing hospitality left me speechless. Leading up to the day, Taylor, our coordinator, responded to every email in a timely manner, made the most perfect suggestions, and always answered our questions with a positive and upbeat attitude. Taylor kept up with every email thread and noted every detail we spoke about (even details we discussed over a year out.) Impressed does not even begin to describe how I felt! Taylor made our experience impeccable. We are beyond grateful and owe her all of our thanks for making the day so special! Emma, the day-of co-coordinator, was also fantastic! Her and Taylor were beyond kind and made us feel like we were a part of the community each time we visited the venue. Emma, along with the staff on the day of, were extremely detail-oriented and attentive to all of our guests. The bartenders remembered everyone's drink orders...everyone's! Our guests could not believe how quickly they were able to get a drink all night long! And the spirits were great quality - the best. This was a priority for us and YCSH did not disappoint! The food was delicious, from our tasting to the event. We are so thankful for the wonderful staff! They work with you every step of the way. Book YCSH! You will not regret it! It's NJ's best-kept secret when it comes to wedding planning and vendors. And the grounds are BEAUTIFUL. The recent renovation was very well done. If you're looking for a more relaxed venue that isn't a ballroom, this is your place. I cannot speak highly enough about the facilities and the staff, and of course, Taylor!! The best coordinator around!! Thank you, Taylor, Emma, and the staff at YCSH! Our wedding was truly magical because of you!

lly put my vision into reality. Emma was amazing with making sure the day went as smooth as possible. The food was delicious and the bartenders did such a great job. The huge bar and wrap around deck are staples here. My guests are still talking about our wedding two months later. OH and perfect pictures on the water with a beautiful sunset. We wish we could do it all over again! Thank you a million Yacht Club of Stone Harbor !

I felt 100% confident in having Taylor direct how the day was to go and she did an amazing job with all the final touches. Our guests have not stopped raving about the food which is a huge part of wedding memories. The crab cakes and stuffed veal chop were out of this world. Thank you Yacht Club and Taylor for making our wedding everything we dreamt of and more!!

entire staff moved very quickly to keep everything on schedule), the staff was extremely attentive to all guests (and especially us as the couple getting married), and bar serviced all guests with great efficiency and quality. We really couldn't have had a better experience. Our prior meetings with Taylor created a great relationship that enabled us to make quick, on-the-fly decisions/adjustments during the event that helped keep the night flowing as we envisioned/planned.

sometimes couples feel as though they have to bring it so many "extras" to enhance venues, but we did not feel that way at all. We didn't hire any additional up-lighting, sound system, extravagant flowers, etc. to make the Yacht Club beautiful. 2. We had our ceremony at a local church, and the reception at the yacht club and it served us perfectly. The docks were the perfect backdrop for our pictures, and the club has a bridal suite which was perfect for us to touch base before the reception and take a few breathers throughout the night! 3. Layout: We really liked how all seating was together, as opposed to a more traditional set-up with half of the tables on either side of the dancefloor. We sat at a sweetheart table and one of my favorite moments of the entire day was sitting there at dinner and looking out at all of our guests. 1. COVID Rescheduling: Unfortunately, we had to reschedule due to COVID. Taylor and her team could not have been more amazing in the whole transition. Our initial pricing was honored despite the date change, no additional fees were added, and the entire staff was genuinely supportive through the whole process. Taylor was very responsive, accommodating, and Taylor and her team were genuinely great people to work with from start to finish. 2. Taylor and her team pay such close attention to all details during planning. Taylor had specific questions and details they wanted to make sure were covered, and fielded my very detailed (and sometimes lengthy) emails with such care! Lastly, Taylor and the entire staff and very flexible and totally willing to do whatever you are envisioning for your event! 3. For the reception décor, the attention to detail during set-up was unmatched. I was only required to drop off whatever decorations I wished to have for the reception, and Taylor and her team took it from there! The entire staff listens to whatever specific items you'd like to have set up during the reception and makes sure that happens exactly, but they also did a fantastic job of just filling in the blanks themselves. During drop off, there were many things that I said for Taylor and her team to decorate as they see fit, and I couldn't have done a better job myself-everything was absolutely beautiful. 4. The flow and timing of the reception was literally flawless, and the service was exceptional. Taylor and her team were always making sure that my husband and I had what we needed. We truly just showed up and followed their cue--they did not miss a beat! Prior to the wedding, many times people would warn that the bride and groom usually don't eat enough, which was literally not possible for us! The bridal suite was stocked with food and drinks, Taylor and her team made us both massive dinner plates, and they made sure that hors d'oeuvres were on our sweetheart table as well. Lastly, my husband and I received such great feedback from people days after the wedding. Many guests (of varying ages) said that our wedding was one of the best they had ever attended, and I attribute almost entirely all of that to the entire Yacht Club Staff and all of their hard work!

hey helped with every detail.

r was incredibly accommodating and kind. We quickly found a new date in October 2021. Throughout the process, Taylor continued to be accommodating, including allowing outdoor dining for our guests who were not comfortable sitting inside. She was very responsive to all of my questions and requests, and the day of the wedding went perfectly. The bartenders were quick, and their drinks were delicious. The food was incredible and tasted just as it had at our tasting (we got the branzino and short rib). The venue comfortably seats about 150 people inside. We had approximately 180 people but luckily sat about 30 people outside. If everyone had sat inside, it would have been a little tight and we would have had to have removed some tables after dinner service to make more room for the dance floor. We highly recommend the Yacht Club of Stone Harbor for less conventional couples who do not want the typical ballroom and instead want a little character in their venue!
