Rebuilt in 1998, the Avalon Yacht Club has been one of the Jersey Shore’s most breathtaking private club venues. With every view overlooking the water, our exquisite location along the bay makes the Avalon Yacht Club an ideal location to host your wedding. Philadelphia Magazine rated the Avalon Yacht Club best of the shore for wedding sunsets.
Weddings are hosted during the spring and fall seasons, but unfortunately not during the summer months of July and August, when the club is in season. At the Avalon Yacht Club a well seasoned staff caters to your every need, whether you have a large, extravagant wedding or a small, intimate reception. When you have your wedding at the Avalon Yacht Club a year membership is included in the wedding package so you will be able to enjoy the atmosphere for more than just your special day. Wedding ceremonies can take place in front of a magnificent view on the north deck, weather permitting. Otherwise, the ceremony can be held on an indoor balcony.

Jarrod Sykes, the onsite event manager, will gladly coordinate all planning and details for your wedding. Jarrod has been a part of the Avalon Yacht Club team for the past 19 years. He will assist you in getting the perfect floral arrangements, entertainment, wedding cake and every intricate detail to make your wedding day everything you ever dreamed. Jarrod will also help plan your reception around the exact time of sunset, to ensure beautiful wedding pictures with the best background nature can provide.
Peter Mark, the executive chef of the Avalon Yacht Club for over 25 years, will provide the cuisine for your special day. From a one entrée dinner, to a choice of three, Chef Peter will work with you one on one to figure out which foods will best cater to you and your guests.
The Avalon Yacht Club is located at 704 7th Street in Avalon. For further information please email Jarrod Sykes at jarrodsykes@avalonyachtclub.com. The Avalon Yacht Club can be reached at (609) 967-4444.

Avalon Yacht Club Wedding 9-14-24

It’s very rare in life to be so excited and looking forward to writing a review - we simply can’t list enough superlatives about AYC; if you’re thinking of getting married in the area, there simply isn’t a better venue or team. It’s been four months since our ceremony and we are still receiving compliments from friends and family raving about how incredible our wedding was – this isn’t a coincidence. From the moment you walk into the club, Jarrod and team makes your vision their own and works with you to make it a reality. Their attention to detail shines in every interaction; they are true professionals and their experience is what makes them so valuable and differentiates them from other venues on the island. The venue is breathtaking – the cotton candy sunset behind the ceremony that lingers well into cocktail hour is both priceless and unforgettable. Regarding the food, you can read all of the above reviews about it being the star of the show; it’s akin to dining at your favorite high end restaurant; nothing like regular, boring wedding fare. The only problem was narrowing down the menu since the wonderful chef at the tasting experience gives you so many options and all were delicious. Good problems to have and the tasting experience was also wonderful! They also worked with us on our signature drinks and ensured they were available all night. Also, guests were able to order their favorite cocktails without any issues like availability or quality. The bartenders and servers were professional and courteous; all of the vendors were made to feel at home – Jarrod keeps all the wheels in motion so you can focus on what’s important. We couldn’t give AYC a higher recommendation and thank them for being such an integral part of the best day of our lives!

Amazing venue for Jersey Shore wedding!

AYC was such a dream place to have our wedding reception! They are by far the best option in Avalon to have a wedding at. Jarrod & his team were super helpful throughout the entire planning process, providing advice and giving us the freedom to get creative. On the day of they did an outstanding job with food, drinks and service. Our guests said it was one of the best weddings they've ever gone to and that wouldn't have happened without the AYC team! My husband and I had so much fun at our wedding and can't recommend AYC enough!

Quintessential Avalon

Our wedding was not particularly standard. We had so many moving parts. I was so impressed on the day with the way the club pulled everything off. A few of my other vendors dropped some balls, and AYC was there to pick up the slack. a bouquet was left on a beach, Jarrod went all the way to pick it up. Brian was like a ninja during the entire event, invisible until there was a problem: then there he was, already 2 steps ahead with a solution. Our food was Great! Chef and wait staff really knocked it out of the park with service. They were time efficient(we gave them a very tight schedule) and everything was delicious. We had so many ideas and I’m so grateful to the club for making them all work! If you love Avalon, this is the perfect place to have your wedding. It feels like the town: classic and beachy. And they will take care of you like you are one of the family when it is time for your event.
