    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....

    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...

    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!

    McLoone's Pier House in Long Branch was AMAZING!

    My husband and I got married at McLoone's Pier House in October 2023. I have nothing but amazing things to say about them! From the moment we booked our wedding date, Rachel was attentive and always quickly responded to my emails. The week of the wedding we met with Rachel and she was very thorough in going over each detail of our big day. On the day of the wedding, I did not have to worry about anything. Everything was set up exactly as I envisioned. Every staff member at the wedding was kind and quick. There was never a line at the bar and the food service was flawless. Nelson ensured my guests were happy and I always had a drink in my hand! I would recommend McLoone's Pier House as a wedding venue to anyone!

    We had an absolutely amazing wedding at Mcloone’s. From the time we booked to the end of the wedding the whole team was beyond attentive and amazing. Rachel was incredibly responsive and accommodating to every single question and request. Our Maitre’D was also amazing. So very attentive- did not have to ask for a thing because he just appeared with it! So sweet as well!!! My guests raveeeeeed about the food, drinks, and views. If you’re looking to have an extremely fun wedding for your guests- Mcloone’s is your place!!! Thank you so so so much Mcloone’s!! Love, Michelle, Devin, & Jax 🤍

    They made everything special

    McLoone’s Pier House, Libby, and every single staff member involved in our special day were perfect. They coordinated everything seemlessly, kept things moving along, and did so in the most professional manner anyone could expect. They seemed to actually enjoy our wedding along with us!!

    Thank you for an amazing wedding!

    I cannot recommend McLoone's Pier House enough! My now-husband and I had a tough time when we initially searched for wedding venues. We knew we wanted a beach wedding with hotel options nearby, but found the options within our price point very limiting. Upon entering McLoone's, it felt light and open and was truly a beachy venue. We did not want to think about rain, but other venues often offered indoor ceremony options in a back room with no windows, while McLoone's still felt like we were on the beach! Looking at the pricing, especially in relation to the quality and quantity of food, it was a no-brainer!

    From our first visit, the entire staff was gracious and...

    Brides and Groomes, Mcloones is the places if you’re looking for a romantic beach theme! It was so romantic the space was super spacious so beautiful the people helping and serving the food and drinks amazing 5 stars isn’t enough to describe how amazing this venue was! Libby and Rachel were amazing! My husband and I didn’t have to ask for anything the day of our wedding they all knew what drinks we wanted they had food ready to go they were attentive we needed nothing they were on it! Honestly I wish I could get married to my husband again just to have our wedding experience with Mcloones all over again! We can’t thank them enough! The view...

    Helped make this the best day of our lives!

    We had an incredible ceremony & reception at McCloone's Pier House. The staff goes above and beyond to take away any stress from your day. They are extremely flexible & think of everything so you don't have to. We wanted a beach ceremony and they handle it all. Nelson & Rachel both work so hard throughout the entire process. You can tell they genuinely enjoy what they do & love to experience the entire day & lead up with the couple. Its at a gorgeous restaurant directly on the boardwalk/beach with beautiful views of the ocean & windows that open to give you the indoor/outdoor feel. You are able to choose from an extensive food menu & all alcohol...

    Pure Perfection

    We booked McLoone’s Pier House in January for our wedding on 5/29/2022. The entire process was easy, professional, and positive. It was our first choice and was available on our desired date. We couldn’t be happier with the outcome. Our wedding exceeded our expectations by far. The entire staff is professional, kind, and provides exceptional service. Big shout out to Nelson and Libby, our wedding couldn’t have been so fantastic without their help. The food is amazing and the drink selection is awesome. Highly recommend! Thank you McLoone’s. Best decision we ever made!

    Best. Day. Ever.

    It’s been six months since our wedding and our guests are still talking about how it was one of the best weddings they’ve been to! I planned the wedding in 3 short months and the staff at McLoone’s made everything so easy for me. We had a brunch wedding which I highly recommend! The food was delicious and the view was beautiful. I couldn’t imagine a more perfect day

    An absolutely perfect Saturday brunch reception

    My husband and I could not be happier with our wedding experience at McLoone's Pier House. From the moment we connected with the banquet coordinator, Megan, we were impressed with her responsiveness and how helpful she was throughout the entire process. Our wedding was a bit nontraditional (a low-key Saturday brunch reception with about 60 guests) and Megan was incredibly accommodating of all our needs and requests. We especially loved that McLoone's offered so many wedding day items (card box, cake cutting knife/server, extra lanterns/florals, etc.) that we could borrow for the reception, rather than spending money to buy our own single-use items.

    On our wedding day, the maitre d', Nelson, coordinated everything perfectly and continually checked in...

    Best wedding venue

    If you want a relaxed atmosphere with an amazing team of people (Nelson, Megan, Katie, Etc) this is definitely the place to have your wedding. We did the ceremony on the beach and then up to the Atlantic room for cocktail hour and reception. They went above and beyond, everything was decorated perfectly and our families said it was the best wedding they’d been to in years! Most didn’t even though Mcloones and Pier village area existed until this past weekend ( our wedding was on 9/28). They have spot lights that shine onto the beach at night, so while you’re at your reception, you still get a beautiful view of the beach! I wish we could do our...

    Perfect Beach Wedding Venue

    Mcloone's pier house was our first choice for our beach wedding and we couldn't have made a better decision! The prices were very reasonable and the staff is absolutely wonderful! Katie is so professional and friendly and she always came through for us even when we were constantly bothering her with silly questions! We dropped off our decorations a couple days before and they just figured it out and put them all out where they knew it would look best and everything came out beautiful! They packaged everything up so neatly and put it to the side so we could pick everything up the next day! The venue is gorgeous and all my guests said the food was amazing!!...

    My fiancé and I recently booked our wedding here and we couldn't be more excited! The space is beautiful and everything we were hoping for. We are having an indoor ceremony and a 5 hour reception. Blair has been working with us to answer all of our questions and guide us through this process as smoothly as possible. For being right on the water, they have extremely reasonable prices and a very beautiful place to have a wedding. I would highly recommend McLoone's Pier House (and any other restaurant owned by the McLoone family) to anyone who is looking for a beautiful, beachy, and affordable wedding!

    I Loved Mcloone's pier house. They did a great job setting up our beach ceremony and put out all my decorations exactly how I explained. Our reception was wonderful. Our guests really enjoyed the food and the view. We worked with Trish to set up most of our wedding details and she was always very on top of my emails and calls. Nelson was also very helpful for our rehearsal & the day of our wedding. It is a beautiful place for a beach wedding! Thank you !!

    McLoone's was the PERFECT plan to get married! We had a beautiful beach ceremony and then had an amazing cocktail hour and reception inside McLoone's. They did a fantastic job with all aspects of our wedding. They were extremely helpful throughout the wedding planning process, highly responsive to all questions, and very professional and helpful the day of our wedding. They made everything so easy for us. As you can imagine, there are a lot of details leading up to a wedding but they make it so easy for you to pull it all together. Our guests are still calling us to tell us how much fun they had, how delicious the food was, how MUCH food there 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!
