If you’re thinking about booking The Atlantis Ballroom as your venue, DO IT!!!! I literally cannot recommend them enough. LONG story short, we were two days away from our wedding and got a call our venue could no longer accommodate us. Realizing we had no time to panic and had to figure something out, my (now) husband suggested that we check out the Atlantis Ballroom because he’s been to several events there and they had always been nice. Not only were they able to make an entire wedding happen in just TWO DAYS notice, but they went above and beyond! Everyone we dealt with was so friendly. The food was AMAZING. Our cake was so cute! Literally everything was better than perfection. They had a huge supply of decorations/colors/etc. that we were able to pick for them to use to decorate the ballroom and for the cocktail hour. They also used some of our own stuff at our request since I already worked so hard on it. They were able to accommodate every single person who had a dietary restriction (keto, GF, allergies). We got married 3 months ago and every time I see anyone that was at our wedding, they rave about how it was the best and most fun wedding they ever went to! We wouldn’t have been able to do it without Jen and everyone else at The Atlantis Ballroom. There’s no way you’ll be disappointed in your choice by going with The Atlantis Ballroom for any of your events! I know I’ll definitely host any of my events there and I recommend to everyone I know. Thank you again for making our wedding the most magical day

The Shore Club was a cost-effective choice for our wedding venue. The communication with their event coordinator was direct, easy and quick, making planning straightforward. While the venue itself is dated with a basic design, we felt it was a good value for the price. The simple layout allowed us to decorate the space and make it our own for the big day. Guests commented that they enjoyed the food. We had about 170 people in their large ballroom and it was packed. I wouldn’t recommended for parties closer to 200, unless able to max out all tables at 10-12 guests. For couples looking for an affordable venue option without too many frills, The Shore Club offers convenience and practicality.

The staff at Hotel LBI was better than we could have ever imagined!! Donna, Petra & Emily were truly amazing & the day would have never gone on without them. They knew where everyone needed to be, the schedule & did it flawlessly. Even leading up to the big day, Donna made sure we had regularly scheduled meetings & was able to answer all the questions we had. Living out of state was a stressor for me since I couldn't be close by but it didn't matter at all. Petra & Emily day of the wedding were the best duo. The Hotel itself was the most perfect venue. Everything was beautiful, organized, tidy, food was amazing, staff was outstanding & incredibly accommodating. Could not recommend Hotel LBI more as they go above & beyond!

Megan, the director, is an absolutely dream to work with. quick responses, explains everything clearly, a sweetheart. Hotel is super clean, the food is amazing and the staff were lovely. The Maitre De went missing a lot throughout the day, to the point where my uncle had to find her whenever i needed. They set up & cleaned everything up for us which was lovely. the hotel bar stayed open late (sunday wedding) but you couldn’t make it private. so you had people at the bar trying to add to an open tab. you get a room block, the director of rooms Rebecca is very easy to work with as well. the outdoor ceremony space is gorgeous!!!

We got married at Edgewater in October 2023 and it was truly a dream. The venue is absolutely gorgeous and very reasonably priced. The staff is phenomenal! Christina and Sal were incredibly helpful, knowledgeable, professional, and put our minds at ease. I can easily say they were the reason we were stress free. Emily and Alanna made sure we were their number one priority that day. They were constantly checking in on us, giving us whatever we needed. They knew what we needed/wanted before we even did. Our parents raved about the staff checking on them as well. Every little detail was perfect because of the staff. The food was so delicious, thanks to chef Jay. Every single one of our guests came up to us to rave about the beauty of the venue, the food, the staff, and the bartenders. The bartenders were awesome and quickly learned everyone’s order, having the drinks ready for them when they got to the bar. It was the best day of our lives and we couldn’t have picked a better venue with a better staff, because there simply isn’t one. Thank you Edgewater for being the perfect beach venue!!

Awarded Best of Zola
From the moment we started planning, The Gramercy exceeded every expectation. When I submitted inquiries through Zola, Megan Dunn was the only person to respond with such detailed, timely information which was a huge relief as this was our first time planning a wedding. She guided us with patience, answered every question, and was always present during our site visits. We chose The Gramercy because of the stunning aesthetics, the warm and welcoming staff, the value included in the cost per person, and the fact that they host only one event per day meaning their full attention is on you. Our wedding on June 12 was beyond perfect. Pauline, our host, truly took care of us, making sure we ate, had drinks, and were enjoying ourselves the entire time. She extended that same care to our families too. The team beautifully set up our décor, and they even included extra decorations to help us save money, which was such a thoughtful touch. The food was amazing, and the desert station blew us away! We also held our ceremony onsite, and Megan was incredibly helpful in navigating that process. She guided us on where to go, helped our officiant get registered, and made sure we had all the information needed to obtain our marriage license. On top of that, the staff worked seamlessly with our vendors to ensure everyone was set up and prepared for the day, which made everything run smoothly from start to finish. Huge thank you to the entire Gramercy team for making our day so special and a special shoutout to Megan for being so kind and helpful throughout the whole process. If you’re looking for a venue that will treat your event with genuine care and attention we recommend The Gramercy to anyone, any day!

Our wedding at Park Chateau was nothing short of magical in December! We had our ceremony on-site in the chapel and it was absolutely breathtaking. It was intimate, elegant, and the perfect setting to exchange our vows. The reception was stunning to say the least. The staff ensured every detail was flawless, from the setup to service creating an unforgettable experience. Our guests were blown away by the attention to detail. The food was outstanding and cooked to perfection, even our to-go items! The cocktail hour was beyond anything we could have imagined, with an endless variety. From our very first appointment with Dom, we knew we were in the best of hands! Throughout the entire planning process, the entire team was an absolute pleasure to work with. Devin worked with us closely helping us select our menu and coordinating every detail. The entire team was attentive, organized, and truly went above and beyond to make our vision a reality. On the wedding day, Oscar, Dawn Alix, Jeremiah, and Alanna we’re by our side ensuring we had everything we needed. They even had hand warmers/jacket to keep us warm during our photos outside! They handled everything seamlessly, allowing us to relax and fully enjoy every moment. A huge thank you to the entire Park Chateau team for making our day PERFECT!

The food was amazing and beyond our expectations. The bartenders were friendly. Our guests had made so many positive comments! Also, having the cake included was a huge time saver for us, and we enjoyed working with a local bakery who were very accommodating. Choosing the Nassau Inn for our wedding venue was the best decision we made!

Blue Heron Pines outdid themselves! From the communication, the food, the venue itself, everything was amazing. Tara was great to work with throughout the time leading up to the wedding and Sarah was very helpful the day of. I even had a personal coordinator (Jeanine) who made sure I always had something to eat and drink and even assisted with pictures by holding the train of my dress and bouquet. She was always there when I needed something, I can’t say enough good things about her! The venue included everything you could think of. Multiple ceremony sites, reception area, amazing food, open bar, dessert room and even included a wedding cake from their chosen bakery!! Even down to the details..tables, chairs, table linens, napkins, center pieces, etc. It made planning less stressful knowing they provided so much! I highly recommend!
