We recently had the pleasure of hosting our wedding at the Stone Harbor Yacht Club, and I can confidently say it was an unforgettable experience! The venue itself is stunning, with...
breathtaking views of the water that create a picturesque backdrop for any ceremony. The indoor space is beautifully designed, providing a perfect canvas to decorate as we wished. Every detail, from the decor to the ambiance, was meticulously curated, making it an ideal setting for a romantic celebration. The staff was incredibly attentive, ensuring that everything ran smoothly throughout the day.
Working with Dominique was an absolute delight! Her professionalism and passion for creating the perfect wedding day truly shone through. From our first meeting to the final moments of the celebration, Dominique was organized, responsive, and genuinely invested in making our vision come to life. She anticipated our needs and handled every detail with grace, allowing us and our guests to relax and enjoy the day. I can't recommend the Stone Harbor Yacht Club and Dominique highly enough for anyone looking for a beautiful wedding venue!

The Perfect Wedding Experience. We cannot say enough incredible things about our experience at this venue, especially because of Dominique. From the very beginning, she was nothing...
short of AMAZING. Her professionalism, warmth, and attention to detail truly made our wedding day unforgettable.
I had a mom who is very particular and pays attention to every tiny detail, and Dominique handled every request with such grace, patience, and kindness. Not once did we feel stressed, even though we planned this wedding from Vail, CO. Dominique ensured everything was seamless, organized, and beautifully executed. If you are considering this venue, know that you will be in the BEST hands with Dominique.

The Yacht Club of Stone Harbor was the perfect wedding venue for down the shore for our fall 2025 wedding. YCSH has a beautiful ceremony spot on the water overlooking the bay, whic...
h made for an unforgettable backdrop. The venue was recently remodeled, giving the space a fresh, modern feel with a coastal twist and stunning chandeliers.
The deck outside is great for cocktail hour, and the bar inside has a nautical vibe that works well with the space. The bartenders were great, and with enough staff, no one had to wait long for a drink. The food at YCSH is also excellent, with so many choices.
The team at YCSH was incredibly accommodating, helping with all the details that mattered most to us. We had 146 guests, which was perfect for their dining room. The layout allows guests who don’t dance to hang at the bar and still be part of the celebration, which keeps the event feeling inclusive and connected.
We couldn’t imagine a better venue for our celebration!

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!

elpful, responsive, and ready to make things work. Pete the bartender brought great energy and made sure everyone had a good time, and Caroline, the floor manager, kept everything running smoothly. Every server and bartender was kind, professional, and genuinely seemed happy to be part of our day. They were flexible with every detail of our vision, even the less traditional ones, and made it all feel completely natural. We’re so thankful for the entire team who helped make our day unforgettable.
The newly renovated space was beautiful and felt fresh and modern without losing its charm. The views of the bay were the best on the island, and the sunset was absolutely stunning. The setting was perfect, but what made it even more special were the people who helped bring it all together. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience, and we’re beyond grateful to everyone at the Yacht Club for making our wedding so memorable.

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.

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!!!🩵

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!

Although a relatively lengthly review, I think the best way to capture all of the amazing things about our wedding was to list them:
1. This is just an amazingly beautiful venue;...
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!

The Yacht Club of Stone Harbor was a perfect venue for our wedding, and we could not be happier with Taylor and the whole team. After we decided to postpone our 2020 wedding, Taylo...
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!

I don't even know where to begin with the Yacht Club of Stone Harbor...our wedding reception on September 25th was fabulous. From the food, the linens, our cake, the flow of the ni...
ght, the professionalism...our wedding day was a dream come true. Guests have been raving about the night, and I think they also loved being out on the deck area for the cocktail hour seeing the bay etc. I cannot express just how amazing of a venue this is...if you want to be a bride on Seven Mile Island, this is the spot for you. Thank you so much to Taylor and her wonderful team! They worked with us as we booked our date at the beginning of Covid virtually. They were a constant source of optimism. They made it the best day of my and my husband's life.
