Felt like part of the family

We would recommend McLoone's Pier House as a wedding venue with our full heart. Rachel and her team went above and beyond at every turn of the process to ensure that we had a great plan that remained in budget and worked for our special day.

From the first day we toured the venue - it was immediately our favorite and first choice as a venue. On the beach with panoramic views, high ceilings, new hardwood floors and windows, and chic tables and chairs, you barely need anything else to make the room come alive. And - it came with free linens and decorations you could use as well!

The food & beverage programs were expansive and generous - we were immediately assured that there was no way our guests could go hungry, and then we tried the food and were blown away by the quality, especially at scale for 250. The bar packages were all top shelf and the team worked with us to customize a few aspects including a raw bar, champagne toasts, as well as churros & breakfast sandwiches at the end.

They also had a list of tried and true, recommended vendors that made things like florals, etc. so easy to plug and play, as well as a built in team that helped make set up and event management so very easy.

The venue fit our party of 250 people and we heard from many guests it was the best wedding they had been to. Mcloones will always have a special place in our hearts.

Wedding May 10, 2025

Our wedding was everything and more! We worked closely with Rachel and Lisa and they were equally responsive and helpful. They made sure every single part of our special day was exactly how we wanted it. I would recommend this venue to everyone! Our guests are still talking about how beautiful our beach ceremony was and how delicious the food was!

McLoone's Pier House was wonderful!

McLoone's Pier House was an absolutely wonderful wedding venue! It was beautiful, clean, and spacious. The gazebo on the boardwalk right next to the venue and the beach made for beautiful photographs. Everyone we worked with from the venue - the events coordinator, the maitre d, and the staff were all so attentive, friendly, and helpful. And of course the food and drinks were delicious. We would definitely recommend this venue.

The Best Day!

We couldn’t have asked for a better wedding! From start to finish, the staff was incredibly communicative, ensuring everything ran smoothly on the big day. Every detail we requested for the setup was executed perfectly. The food was a highlight — everyone, including ourselves, loved it. With McCloones Pier House you also have the beautiful backdrop of the ocean for both the ceremony and reception. A big thank you to Lisa, Nelson, Rachel and every single staff member for making our day truly special!

Wedding Review

My wife and I just had our wedding here on 11/9/24. Lisa and Rachel were prompt, courteous, and extremely helpful as we worked through the details during planning and leading up to the big day. The ocean view was the perfect backdrop to our ceremony, and made for some great pictures. We opted to do the ceremony indoors, but the beach is also an option. We chose the "Coastal" wedding package, and the food was fantastic. Between the appetizers, hors d' oevres, and carving station, our guests were well fed even before the entrees arrived. Everyone was raving about the food. We also had maitre d' service, and Nelson tended to our every need. Our drinks never ran dry. He even brought us food in the bridal suite. The staff overrall was very attentive and took great care of our special guests. We utilized the reccomended vendors (DJ, photographer, and officiant), although you have the option to hire your own. All of our vendors were well acquained with the venue and staff, so they worked well together and everything was seamless and as close to perfect as we could have ever hoped for. The surrounding Pier Village has tons of options for before/ after parties and lodging, although, you could just mob downstairs after the wedding and occupy the bar if you wish. The downstairs bar/restuarant is also phenomenal and we returned there quite a few times over the following days to eat and drink. I hadn't been to Long Branch since I was a kid, and I couldn't believe how much they built the area up. I would highly recommend this venue for your wedding.

What an unforgettable night!

Picking an affordable venue was probably one of the hardest things to find in this economy. We refused to go beyond our budget even though we almost did a few times. We also got a discount for booking a Thursday. This venue swooned us as soon as we walked in especially with the affordability. The views of the beach were incredible and the sunset was truly breathtaking during dinner. It felt like you were on the water the entire night. If you read reviews of the restaurant downstairs it might make you worried about how your wedding food will be (which I was worried about) but they’re two completely different chefs. From cocktail hour to dinner to our late night option we kept getting compliments all night about how good the food was! The bartenders, servers, and Maitre’D Nelson give impeccable service. We also worked with Rachel the banquet manager who had awesome communication with us the last year of planning. If you’re looking for a coastal vibe for a decent price, this is your go to venue!!!

Best Experience Ever!

We used McLoone’s Pier House for our wedding in June 2024 and I cannot say enough AMAZING things about this venue and their wonderful staff. We worked with Rachel from day 1 and she was so helpful, personable and efficient. She helped through every part of the process and gave us excellent recommendations as did our Maitre D’ Nelson, both made everything run so smoothly the day of our wedding that we did not need to worry about a thing! I can’t thank them and all of their staff enough for making our wedding so incredibly amazing! Every one of our guests complimented on how good the food was, how helpful and courteous the staff was and mostly how amazing the views were all night! I am so happy that we chose McLoone’s and that they will always hold a special place in our hearts - I would highly recommend McLoone’s Pier House!

My Perfect Wedding

What a beautiful venue for a bright cheerful wedding! I am the happiest bride! The food was outstanding and my guests were so impressed with the spread. The bar and food service team was just exemplary - they were so attentive and also seemed to be having a good time dancing up to the tables! The decor and dance floor were just perfect for the festivities - it was so elegant and so much fun at the same time. I will truly never forget our special day and I will always remember it as my magical dream wedding!
