Perfection

Todd and I chose to get married at Icona back in 2019 (Pre Covid) We had set our date for September 6, 2020 but unfortunately due to covid we moved it to 8 months later May 8,2021. Alyssa was very sympathetic to us and walked us through all of our options, new dates, news way we can deal with the restrictions. This totally made us feel at ease. At our food tasting we were BLOWN AWAY. The food and service by Sue was unbelievable. Each staff member we met we grew a relationship with right away. Kira was by my side every step of the way. And Tammy the banquet manager was super helpful day of as well!!!! I’m so happy wedding season is picking back up because each staff member is dedicated and you can tell they all love what they do. Our wedding was a dream and I can’t picture it taking place anywhere else. THANK YOU ICONA ❤️

Absolutely Perfect

Everything was absolutely perfect, and we couldn't have asked for anything more.

Alyssa was so great to work with when first booking the Icona and so very accommodating. I can't say enough good things about Ashley and all that she did for us. She was so supportive in our planning and made our wedding vision come true. She was so sweet and helpful, and set it all up beautifully!

The reception was even better than we could have imagined. The service was impeccable, and the food was delicious! All of our guests were raving about the meal. I must say, we were surprised at the quality of the food, and the fact that every single filet was cooked perfectly. That would be hard to do for most places, so big kudos to the kitchen!

Later in the evening we had a reserved fire pit and cabana and it was so much fun!

The hotel itself is beautiful, and all of the staff were wonderful. We even extended our stay we enjoyed it so much!

It was difficult switching gears on our wedding plans with Covid, but they truly made this truly a dream wedding, and we are so thankful. I would 100% recommend an Icona wedding to anyone, and we cannot wait to return for a weekend stay at the gorgeous hotel.

Amazing Post-Wedding Brunch

We held our post-wedding brunch at the Icona Avalon. The event coordinator was very attentive and receptive to our questions in the weeks leading up to the event. They really worked with us to find a perfect event space for our brunch. The food was also plentiful and delicious!! Our guests really enjoyed the bright and relaxed atmosphere.

Loved this venue

We would have hired them if they had our date or one close to what we wanted. The furniture and decor is lovely, I wanted to bring it home. The attached Brew Pub was outstanding! I suggest requesting Tim as your bartender. The rooms and suites and fresh and clean and very spacious. Makes me sad they didn’t have availability for us.

Wonderful Venue with Great Service & Food

I had my wedding at the ICONA Avalon this past March and everything was exceptional. The service and responsiveness from the employees, especially Alyssa (DOS) & Ashley (Wedding Planner) was great. The quality of food, decor, accommodations, etc. were wonderful. They even renovated the outside patio to make it enclosed which was great because our wedding was in March and guests could enjoy the outside atmosphere for cocktail hour without being outside. Everything was perfect.

We had our wedding on 11-11-17 at 1130am at the Golden INN . We planned our wedding through emails and phone calls due to we live in Tampa , Fl and wanted to have our wedding close to our family in New Jersey. So Avalon was perfect and the Golden INN even more perfect. Staff and location was on point . Communicating was easy and reliable from afar no matter what time of day. I would get emails back at all hours of the night it seemed like. I was impressed. The day of our wedding it was seamless. Food was great. Decorations perfect. Entertainment was contagious . Our guest were having a blast and so were we. Thank you for helping us make our memories so beautiful .

Alyssa & Elizabeth were both amazing to work with! Our event went off so effortlessly! Our guests were raving about the food, cocktails, and atmosphere ever since the wedding on 5/20/17. We we're so happy we choose The Golden Inn! We even had our after party in the back beach bar with the fire pits, everything went so perfectly! I would highly recommend this venue to future couples!

I can't speak highly enough of everyone at Icona Golden Inn! Our wedding was just incredible, despite the rain plan we needed to put into play. We haven't stopped hearing rave reviews from our guests about the food, service and newly renovated surroundings! Everyone has been asking us if we can do it all over again!

Perfect right-on-the-beach beautiful location for your wedding, reception & very pretty guest accommodations all in one! I have performed ceremony music for many beach weddings (and some winter indoor events) there at the Golden Inn - and with the addition of the ICONA brand of guest services & updates...it's great. Definitely worth meeting with their staff about your wedding. Nice seamless venue, guest can bike, beach it, visit the CMCo Zoo, swim in salt or fresh water, and go fishing, walking, shopping. I love that with enough planning, everyone can stay on property <3 & the ceremony and reception are right there together. (Very close to many 7 Mile Beach churches as well, of course) I also have wonderful childhood memories of staying at the (Icona) Golden Inn.
