My AC wedding

Colleen, Jeff, Lance, Patty, the head bartender and the team at The Claridge Hotel truly went above and beyond to make our wedding day unforgettable. From the initial planning stages to the day-of details, they were incredibly responsive and accommodating to all our needs and requests. The venue itself was absolutely stunning, with the unique feature of two dance floors that added to the charm of the evening.

Moreover, the food provided was not only delicious but also plentiful, leaving our guests raving about the dining experience. The day-of staff members were attentive and professional, ensuring that everything ran smoothly. Jeff, in particular, made us feel like royalty / presidential by personally assisting us to and from the bridal suite for outfit changes, which was such a thoughtful touch.

The bridal suite exceeded our expectations, stocked with refreshing fruits and champagne, creating a luxurious and relaxing space for us to prepare for the celebration. Additionally, the hotel suite for our wedding night was simply exquisite, complete with a kind personal note and congrats gift that made us feel incredibly special.

The hotel itself was very busy for our weekend and the elevators were a bit slow due to the crowds but Jeff helped us find ways around it and it did not detract from the overall exceptional experience we had at The Claridge Hotel. We highly recommend this venue to any couple looking for a beautiful and accommodating location to celebrate their special day. Thank you to Colleen, Jeff, and the entire team for making our wedding day truly magical.

The perfect wedding venue!

From the first time I walked in the Claridge, I knew it was the right choice. The grand ballroom is incredibly beautiful, and the staff was so helpful and accommodating. Jeff was there at every step of the process to guide us and Colleen's attention to detail is divine. Lynn was a dream the day of the wedding and always made sure we had what we needed to make our day the best it could be. I could not recommend the Claridge more, especially as someone with family ties to Atlantic City.

Perfect Day

We absolutely loved the look and feel of the claridge its a historic hotel and really gives a 20s vibe that we loved. The food was excellent and the day was absolutely perfect. The photos turned out amazing and they have a beautiful staircase that made for perfect photos.

They also have a rooftop bar (part indoors with a wrap around balcony that’s outside) that is absolutely amazing and perfect for the after party. Jerry the bartender went above and beyond.

As far as downsides go they were just a few. I’d read reviews about the elevators being slow but it was a big problem at the end of the reception trying to get to the after party
Also, the groomsmen were sent to set stuff up last minute so I wouldn’t be seen and they left a big rainbow reusable shoprite bag out in front of our guest book table - very visible for the entrances to our ceremony and then as we were leaving I said “can someone move that bag under a table” and it was still there at the entrances to the reception (in the same room). They had a coordinator around and I just felt someone could have moved it lol, but I’m probably being dramatic.
Otherwise they were very accommodating, very affordable and it’s just a beautiful venue overall and I would highly recommend it to anyone!

The Claridge Hotel is Exceptional!

The Claridge Hotel was the perfect venue to celebrate my wedding! The Claridge is elegant and full of charm. The staff at the Claridge went above and beyond! Jeff did a remarkable job! He was very helpful, accommodating, and was communicative, answering every question I had promptly. He was there for me every step of the way from the tour of the Claridge to my wedding day. Lance, the banquet manager, was phenomenal! He worked tirelessly the day of my wedding, ensuring that everything was in place and ran smoothly. He was so kind in helping me envision and bring about the wedding reception of my dreams, and also kept me organized by helping me create a timeline for the day of my wedding. Curtis did a fantastic job handling guest room bookings! He stayed in communication with me until the day of my wedding, accommodating requests with ease.
The bridal assistant was amazing! She constantly checked on me and my husband and brought us whatever we needed. The waitstaff and bartenders at the Claridge provided outstanding service. It made me so happy to hear from so many of our wedding guests that our wedding was the best wedding they have ever attended. I am forever grateful for the memorable experience, it was truly the best day of my life!

A dream!

Our wedding was a dream come true! From our rehearsal dinner at the Claridge to our post-nuptial brunch at the Vüe Rooftop bar, everything was spectacular. Our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception were unreal — our guests can’t stop talking about it! Lance, Jeff, Aspasia, and Chef Craig went above and beyond making sure every little detail was immaculate. We had the best bartender in the world (Jerry) with us all night, and we also owe a special thanks to Jean and Curtis with all of their help with room blocks, upgrades, and more. We wouldn’t change a single thing about having our wedding at The Claridge…it truly was magical!

The wedding of our dreams

Our wedding day at the Claridge exceeded all of our expectations. From the day we first looked at the venue, through the days leading up to the wedding, and especially on the day of the event itself, Jeff and Curtis went above and beyond. My fiancee and I were unable to look at the venue together, so Jeff gave me an extra tour on a separate day. He accommodated our very specific dietary requests for the tasting (which was honestly some of the best food I have had), and the meals on the day itself were just as delicious as the tasting. Both Jeff and Curtis responded immediately to emails or calls and excelled with communication. They were flexible with the extra details and truly tailored the day to us. On the day of the wedding, they made everything run seamlessly and on time. We had various components of the ceremony and reception in different rooms- Jeff reserved elevators for this and ushered everyone to where they needed to go. Jeff even helped line up the wedding party for the processions into the ceremony and the reception. The Claridge staff saved appetizers from the cocktail hour for my now-husband and I, and they saved the top of the wedding cake for us to take home- something I never would have thought of! The venue itself is so beautiful that we didn’t need extra flowers or decorations. The bridal suite is huge with ample mirrors, and Jeff and Curtis even provided champagne and fruit for getting ready the day-of. Our guests enjoyed comfortable rooms with gorgeous ocean views, and we received so many compliments about our choice of venue. We cannot thank Jeff, Curtis, and the Claridge staff enough for hosting the wedding of our dreams and making the day one of the happiest (and least stressful!) of our lives.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
