The Cape May Convention Hall is an incredible venue. We looked at seven venues in Cape May and nothing compared to the Convention Hall! It is the only venue that is actually on the beach and gives you those amazing beach wedding vibes! It is a large space that can accommodate a large wedding but is also perfect for a small or medium wedding. One thing we loved was being able to have the ceremony on the deck that overlooks the beach and the ocean. You get your beach wedding but do not have to have everyone on the sand, but you can do everything on the beach if you want. It was perfect that we could do the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception all at the same location. Cocktail hour on the deck with a second bar out there was a big hit with our guests. Pretty much the entire wedding spent the whole cocktail hour out there taking pictures and enjoying the view, food, and drinks. When the reception finally comes around you cannot beat the breathtaking views you get of the ocean with the amazing floor-to-ceiling windows in the back of the Convention Hall. It immediately captures your attention when you walk in. It gives you so much natural light and is beautiful as the sun goes down. When I walked in and saw the windows, I immediately knew this was the venue for us. This venue gives you such a great space for your guests. One of the cool things about the space is they build a stage for your entertainment. We wanted a fun party band for our wedding so having the stage really set the tone for the entertainment. It also gives you the ability to create a large dance floor which our guests kept full all night! Another benefit of being on the beach is it gives you amazing photos with your partner and your wedding party. It gets such great light and you also get amazing sunset photos on the deck/beach. When you book this venue, you get a blank slate. You have to bring in all your vendors which can be a little overwhelming initially. However, Rachel the Assistant Director of the Convention Hall gives you a lot of great recommendations of vendors she has worked with before that do a great job. It also allows you to control your costs more than a venue that owns everything. You can meet with multiple vendors and find one that fits your budget. The cost is comparable to the other venues we looked at and ended up being cheaper because of our ability to pick our own vendors. The other benefit of being a blank slate is the creative freedom it gives you. The different venues we looked at had their venues decorated in a certain way and we felt it would have forced us to match their theme. Rachel is incredible to work with and was so helpful through the whole planning process. She is extremely responsive and was always able to answer any question we had. Rachel and her team were amazing the day of, and we cannot thank them enough for the role they played in making our day so perfect. There are also many hotels that are all across the street that will do room blocks. This was amazing for our guests because we gave them 3 different hotels to choose from and everyone was able to walk right to the venue! We cannot recommend the Cape May Convention Hall enough! Our guests cannot stop talking about how much they loved it. Definitely go check out this venue I promise you will not be disappointed!

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!

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!
