The most beautiful, perfect venue

We could not have asked for a more beautiful or perfect wedding venue. Both my wife and I grew up vacationing in Cape May with our families, so once we were engaged, this was the first (and only) wedding venue that we looked at. The space is absolutely perfect for a wedding– the huge ballroom, the indoor/outdoor area for cocktail hour, the deck for the ceremony, and of course, the beautiful view of the ocean and Cape May beach. We had guests who partied on the huge dance floor all night long; some who sat on the rocking chairs and enjoyed the view of the ocean; and others who played cornhole on the deck. Perhaps the best part of this venue, though, is the coordinator Rachel. She is so personable and organized, and she and her staff made sure that every transition throughout the night ran smoothly. She was also so helpful and communicative in preparing for the wedding, communicating on all the little details and always accommodating a last minute visit to the venue (we live several hours away, so this was huge!). The venue also allows you to bring in your own alcohol, which provided us with a lot of flexibility for drinks and saved us a lot of money in the long run. We felt that the venue was very reasonably priced for all that it offered, and would recommend it to anyone who is looking for a beach wedding!

We loved Convention Hall!

We had the most perfect wedding at Convention Hall! It has always been our dream to get married in Cape May and there was no better place than Convention Hall. Rachel was so easy and delightful to work with. She was super helpful in providing recommendations and helping to coordinate with each of our vendors. We loved that we were able to make our exact wedding vision come to life. You definitely cannot beat the breathtaking backdrop that this venue has to offer. Being able to say our vows in our favorite place right over the beach was so special. The large window in the reception space continues to provide the fabulous view of the beach and ocean. At this venue, our wedding felt like a destination wedding without having to travel and we loved brining our friends and families to our favorite place, Cape May. We cannot thank Convention Hall enough for making our day absolutely perfect. We hope we are invited to a wedding at this venue in the future so we can experience it again!

The best experience!!

Our wedding at the Cape May Beachfront Ballroom could not have been a more perfect experience! Of course the beachfront location alone can sell this venue itself, but nothing happens without great people to work with. If we could give Rachel and the entire team 10 stars, we would. Given it's a space where the couple is responsible for hiring vendors individually, Rachel was immensely helpful when it came to recommendations and completely took over managing all parties once things were booked. She was honest about her prior experiences dealing with certain vendors, but didn't push anyone on us. We felt absolutely no pressure throughout the process, and she was extremely open to working with new vendors that hadn't done an event there before. We dealt with both instance, but it really didn't matter because Rachel and team made sure everything was seamless, regardless. All of our vendors loved dealing with Rachel and her team as well - they just make it all so easy leading up to and especially the day of. They know what they're doing and will keep you organized without micromanaging you. We wouldn't have changed a thing!
