Best decision we made!

Having our wedding at the yacht club was easily the best decision we made throughout the entire wedding planning process. Between the unobstructed views of the bay and the entire staff, we couldn't have asked for a more perfect venue. We looked at several venues from Sea Isle to Cape May, but after meeting with Heather, it was a simple decision for our October wedding. She's extremely accommodating, helpful, and down to earth...we really got the sense that whatever we envisioned for our wedding, she would make it happen... and she definitely did! A big benefit to us was she had tons of wedding decor, centerpieces, etc. that we were able to use if we wanted to. We took her up on her offer for several things like the card box, a big easel stand for our welcome sign, some lanterns and even little sand boxes that we used for our escort "cards". It was so convenient and helpful. I can't forget to mention the food. Absolutely incredible! 5 months later and we are still getting compliments about the food. We also had a brunch buffet for guests the next morning at the yacht club, it was great!
I should also mention that we rented two houses right near the yacht club for the weekend of the wedding. The day before the wedding we had some water in the basement (sewer issue that the township fixed right away) but we had nothing to soak up the water with. Some of the staff from the yacht club came right over and helped clean it up. When I say they the entire staff goes above and beyond, I truly mean it! Each time we are in town, we make it a point to stop by and say hi to Heather, Michelle and the rest of the staff. I genuinely believe that our wedding would not have been half as great if it weren't them.

The best decision we made!

We got married at YCSIC in Sept 2023. It was the honestly the best choice we made for our wedding. Caitlin, the coordinator, was absolutely amazing, answered all our questions and made sure everything was exactly how we wanted it. The rest of the staff we met was also fantastic and helped make sure everything ran smoothly. The venue itself is so beautiful especially being right on the water. We loved the simple decor because it really just let the view be the main center point. Having the bar upstairs for our after party was so easy and it made things so simple for us and our guests. The pricing was great and food was amazing. I absolutely cannot recommend YCSIC enough.
We had the best day and planning was not stressful with all their help.

Incredible Wedding Venue!

We got married at the Yacht Club and everything was amazing!! We were originally supposed to have our wedding and reception in September 2020 but had to move everything to September 2021 due to the pandemic. The Yacht Club was extremely accommodating with the whole process of needing to move the wedding. Additionally, the event coordinator was very detail-oriented. I gave her the details of how I wanted things set up the day of the wedding and they took care of everything. People really enjoyed the food, commenting that it was so much better than typical wedding food (and I definitely agree). Overall we had an incredible time, and so did all of our guests.

YCSIC was absolutely Amazing!

I wish I could give more than 5 stars! I had my wedding here mid-May and it was better than I could have ever imagined. Food was incredible, staff was absolutely outstanding, and everything went so well! From set-up, questions, specific requests, the Yacht Club coordinator Caitlin was there to assist. She is wonderful along with the whole YCSIC staff. Even when my dress bustle broke, a staff member helped me in the bathroom with her own sewing kit to make sure my night went perfect. Wish I could relive the day and night all over again

Great to work with, amazing views!

Heather and YCSIC have been amazing to work with. We were supposed to have our wedding on 6/6/20 but due to the pandemic we weren’t able to. The club typically does not have late summer weddings, however opened up Saturday dates for us to change to! We moved to 8/22, but with all of the current restrictions we were nervous to have our event. Heather and the yacht club were amazing and gave us multiple options (new dates for 2020, postpone to 2021, or a full refund). Unfortunately with restrictions and postponing once already we decided to take the refund, but the yacht club was amazing to work with. I have heard horror stories from other venues keeping money and not allowing guests to cancel or postpone during this time. During the planning process, Heather was so amazing to work with and quickly answered all of our questions. We are sad we won’t be able to have our day here, but would highly recommend YCSIC for a wedding! The food at our tasting was great and views are spectacular.

The Best Day EVER!

The YCSIC made our dream wedding day come true! Heather and the YCSIC team were super easy to work with. They put all our worries at ease. Heather especially is very organized ,attentive and goes above and beyond to make sure everything comes together for not only the bride, but for the wedding party and family. We really could not have asked for a better venue and appreciate all their hard work- Not to mention the view is amazing!!!

Amazing venue

We searched 10 locations from Cape May to Sea Isle and not only fell in love with the venue but with the sunset. Heater the wedding planner was also the best. I can’t imagine not having Heather. So knowledgable, professional and most of all calm. There was nothing she wouldn’t do or help us with. The compliments on the food were overwhelming positive. I would do it all over again at the Yacht Club of Sea Isle City.
