This is the place to have your wedding!

Let me start off by saying that my wife, my stepdaughter, my family, and i vacation here over the summer. My wife and I decided to see what the Flanders were going to offer us. We meet with Lisa and did a walk around the ballroom and garden room. Lisa made us feel so welcomed and explained our options and answered our questions. We immediately booked our destination wedding which occurred on May 23,2026. All our family and friend reside in Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island, Manhattan, Long Island, and New Jersey. Lisa and Molly began to help us find vendors by providing us with a vendor list. We chose everything from their list, and we were very happy with their vendor list. We booked a block of rooms for our family and friends. Lisa and Molly kept in contact with us the entire time. We went down for a food tasting, and we knew this wedding was going to be amazing. We meet the chef and maître d who will be taking care of us. The food was amazing. The room was set up perfectly. Our cocktail hour was great. There was plenty of staff on hand to make out wedding amazing. Lisa and Molly were both honest, professional, caring, and overall friendly. They answered the million emails I sent them, took my phone calls, and helped us from day one till the ending of our wedding weekend with the brunch. The wedding party went on without any hitches or issues. Our guests spoke about how wonderful and attentive the staff was, how beautiful and clean the ballroom was, how clean the bathrooms were, and how amazing the food was. We had plenty of space for dancing, a photobooth, rolling bar, coffee station, and seating for our guests. The food was served at a good pace and served hot. I did not feel rushed at all. When the night was over, the staff packed everything up for us and transported it to our room. The next morning, we hosted a brunch. The staff was so attentive at the brunch. All the breakfast food was so good. They cleared plates and continued to bring out more breakfast items during the whole time. Lisa was with us on the night of the wedding and at the brunch the next day. I have to say, we were so pleased with Lisa and her staff and the Flanders. If you’re looking for a nice, easy going, fun wedding, you need to book here.

Flanders Gave us Our Dream Wedding!

We were absolutely blown away by our wedding at The Flanders Hotel. From the grandeur of the hotel, to the charm of the boardwalk, and a perfect beach ceremony - hosting the wedding at The Flanders gave us a little bit of every aesthetic we were hoping for our wedding. I cannot express enough how incredible their staff is! Lisa and Molly were helpful every step of the way! From giving us ideas to personalize our wedding to helping coordinate the walking down the aisle! There are a million reasons we would do our wedding all over again - and being able to work closely with them and be at this gem of a venue is high up on the list! The food was exceptional! All of our guests said it was the best food at a wedding they ever experienced. From spoiling us with several options to 5 star dinner entree meals - our bellies were not disappointed! The rooms were sensational - the hotel hosted several of our guests for the wedding and we heard no complaints. We also rented out one of the Penthouse suites for our getting ready day and it was stunning. The perfect amount of space - and unbelievable decor. We also used so many of their preferred vendors and again - blown away by every single detail. I could honestly go on and on and on about how this venue was the perfect choice for a wedding! I hope you do choose the Flanders and have as spectacular an event as we did!

The best team

We had our wedding at the Flanders, and they did an incredible job! The hotel is a gorgeous venue for weddings, and from our first tour it stood out as a unique location that would look great in our photos. The food was excellent; we especially enjoyed the dim sum station at our cocktail hour. Our guests gave rave reviews about their meals.

Lisa and Molly were great coordinators who assured us throughout the whole planning process that everything would go smoothly - and then made it happen! Being an obsessive planner myself, and doing all my decorations myself, I put together a binder of my plans for how each piece should be displayed. Lisa and Molly took that with grace, asked questions where needed, and made it happen!

Joanne was an amazing maitre d' who anticipated our every need. She ensured that the day went perfectly, starting with the moment we walked down the aisle and she gave us some hints for scoring the best photos. She had also clearly read our binder. I was especially impressed when we came out of our ceremony and she had a platter of drinks ready for us and our wedding party while the marriage certificates were being signed. She was able to make a lighting change in one of our decorations happen while we were decompressing after the ceremony. During our Farewell Breakfast the next day, she coordinated packing away our homemade decorations, allowing us to enjoy the event without stress.

Overall, the day went perfectly. It really is true that the best-laid plans will only succeed with a good team, and I feel strongly that we made an excellent choice in trusting this team for our wedding.

The wedding of my daughter's dreams, exceeding all our expectations!

This past weekend we held my daughter's wedding and post wedding breakfast at the Flanders Hotel in Ocean City, NJ. It had been a dream of hers since she was 13 years old to get married there. From our initial visit to view the venue to the last drop of mimosa at the wedding breakfast, our experience was top notch! Lisa, Molly, Joanne and the rest of the team made this wedding a dream. The attention to detail, the seamless flow, the service, the food...I can't say enough good things. They thought of things that didn't even cross my mind and would have been a shame to have forgotten. My daughter and I got to enjoy the weekend, knowing that we weren't going to have to do or worry about anything. We also took advantage of the onsite salon and spa. Amy, Heather and Judy were so nice and helpful. I got my makeup done at 7am and it was still flawless when I washed it off at midnight. My hair held up too despite being out in the wind on the boardwalk for photos! If you are planning to get married in Ocean City, NJ, the only place to hold your event is at the Flanders!

The perfect venue!

I am so happy that we chose The Flanders Hotel. When we first visited, we instantly fell in love with the charm and character of the hotel and the event rooms.. but we were quick to realize that the staff, service, and culinary team is what makes this venue so special. Everyone is warm and inviting, the food is absolutely amazing, and the service is fantastic. Lisa and Molly were quick to respond, so helpful, and honestly felt like family from the beginning of planning until even after the big day. Joann is exceptional and made sure we were well taken care of. Highly highly recommend!

The most perfect day

My husband and I got married at the Flanders on 6/1/24. I cannot even begin to explain how truly amazing the staff at the Flanders were for our special day. Lisa, Molly, and JoAnn did an OUTSTANDING job to make our day literally PERFECT! Everything was basically flawless from start to finish- the tasting, the communication back and forth, dance lessons from Lisa. If you want an elegant vibe at the shore, this is truly the place to be!!!! We love you guys! Love, Alyssa, Ben, and Lola :)

Thank yourself later

Lisa and Megan were my rock through the wedding planning process. I was planning from out of state and from our first meeting I knew they had it all under control. There are too many details to even count where they took care of us and made our wedding day perfect. Everything was very structured, which I appreciated. They had decor you can use if you’d prefer. The service, the food, the environment was above what we were expecting. Flanders will always have a special place in our hearts now.

Amazing Venue

Our wedding at The Flanders was amazing! From our initial meeting to the last dance, everything flowed smoothly. Lisa and Megan made the whole process seem easy. From our wedding ceremony to the cocktail hour and reception everything flowed seamlessly. Working with Lisa was like having a close friend plan our wedding. She genuinely cared about every detail no matter how small. We received so many compliments on the food! We chose the Asian station for the cocktail hour and it was a huge hit! The meals were delicious and our guests raved about the fun and yummy Taste of the Boardwalk. Our guests were impressed with the service and attentiveness of the staff. Lisa and Megan worked with our vendors to make sure our special day was perfect. They handled all of the small details that I thought we would have to handle ourselves. We truly felt like we were in the best hands and The Flanders definitely delivered. More than one guest told us ours was the best wedding they had ever attended. We felt the same! We highly recommend The Flanders as a top-notch wedding venue. Thank you for a beautiful and perfect wedding!

Amazing and memorable venue.

If you are having your wedding at the Jersey shore you must have your wedding here!

I am not even sure where to begin! We started months ago with Karen who made our choices and tastings seamless. She made suggestions when we were not sure of something and explained what both the bride and groom and the guests would appreciate the most. Lisa kept in touch with things that needed to be taken care of early on and never hesitated to answer our questions immediately no matter how small or inconsequential they may have been.

Fast forward to about 6 weeks before the wedding. Megan, every few days, gently prodded us on what she still needed from us and a schedule for what we needed to submit. If it had not been for these constant communications this wedding would not have happened. The bride works 50 to 60 hours a week. Megan just said she understood and stayed in constant contact with us. She met with us two days before the wedding. We still had stuff that needed to be given to her and she just calmly told us all would be well.

The day before the wedding came and the groom brought in his own photo booth, signing board, and scaffolding for the windows that would contain the seating charts. Everything was set up for him: a table for the signing board, a spot for the photo booth, and a discussion and great placement of the scaffolding. The windows were not finished and the bride and I were panicking. Megan and Lisa said to send them the names and they would take care of it. The bride thought she had sent them but as we came back from pictures (one hour before the reception) Lisa met us at the door to say they had not received them. Lisa and Megan supplied the bride with paper and pen and she would write down one table at a time hand it to Megan until all were finished. Megan even tried to match the bride's handwriting on the windows!

Now comes the reception! Amazing! We had a raw bar that never ran low as they constantly refilled it and the other appetizers. The mac and cheese bar (of which I was skeptical) was a hit with children and adults alike. Our choices of filet, Chilean sea bass and herb chicken were exceptional along with the service. They took care of allergies that we had submitted to them and others we just found out about that evening. The progression of events went exactly as Megan had said they would. We had to do nothing ourselves and felt like royalty with the way we were treated. In the room where we went to line up was a full tray of the appetizers which I had not had time to eat and I was really appreciative that I got to finally munch on a few! I am still receiving texts and emails from our guests raving about the wedding.

At the end of the reception, Flanders folks gathered left overs, gifts, cards, etc., got them up to our room and made sure the refrigerated things were in the refrigerator.

There are so many more things I could say but I think I got my point across. This was the most phenomenal wedding I have ever attended because of the folks who work at the Flanders! My daughter will have this wonderful memory all of her life!

One more thing, the folks at the front desk were also great: answering questions, giving out gift bags, etc.!

They made a perfect day happen!
