Al D Sent on 12/14/2024Wedding 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. -

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!!! -

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! -

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! -

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 🤍 -

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!! -

Alyssa Sent on 08/29/2023Thank 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 helped us feel comfortable and confident in our decision. Rachel answered so many questions via email, was extremely organized, and made clear exactly what we needed to do and when, to ensure that everything was all set before the big day. She and the team did a fantastic job getting everything set up to make my exact vision for the venue come to life! The decorations were set up to perfection and I loved everything about it!
On the day of our wedding, the entire staff was amazing. Everyone was kind, attentive, and excited for us! We have to shout out the maitre d' Nelson- he was amazing! He coordinated plates of food for us while we got ready for the ceremony so we did not have to deal with a hangry groom situation. I realized right before we walked down the aisle that an item we were using for our ceremony was missing. He coordinated to have it brought in without anyone (me included!) even noticing when it happened! Throughout the night he checked in on us, and was watching the radar so closely that he notified our photographer when we needed to go outside for some couple's photos so we would miss the rain. Thank goodness he did, as a huge thunderstorm rolled in just a few minutes after we got back! The food was amazing, everyone was raving about it- we definitely recommend the surf and turf option!! Even the next day, the staff packed everything up nicely for us and made pick-up so easy. I wish we could relive wedding day and we can't wait to go back to visit on our anniversary! Thank you everyone! -

Caitlin Sent on 10/02/2022Helped 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 is included in your initial price, even going out of their way to bring up non-alcoholic beer for a guest on his way downstairs to grab one from their regular bar. We are so grateful to have chosen such an easy & beautiful venue to work with. They made our day even better than we could have imagined. Highly recommend this amazing venue for your special day. -

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! -

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 -

Nicole Sent on 11/15/2019An 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 with us to make sure we had everything we needed. We did not have a DJ/MC (we hooked up an iPad to their speaker system and use our own Spotify playlist) so Nelson helped us ensure the reception stayed on track. The food was delicious and our guests loved the brunch spread. Megan and her team also found spots for all of our handmade decorations throughout the reception space.
As an added bonus, McLoone's Atlantic Room has an absolutely stunning ocean view from its floor-to-ceiling glass windows. We're so glad we had a daytime reception so everyone could enjoy the gorgeous sights!
We could not be more grateful to McLoone's for helping us create the wedding we envisioned. Thank you for a perfect day! -

Alyssa Sent on 10/01/2019Best 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 wedding over again just to relive it all.
PS. The food is amazing and delicious!! I don’t love seafood but the lobster ravioli appetizer was soooo good!!!
And a big thank you to everyone at Mcloones, thanks for making our wedding one we'll never forget!
Love,
Alyssa and Michael

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!! It's obvious that they care about making sure your day goes perfectly and making it an easy, positive experience for you! We couldn't have asked for a better day!! -

User2439423 Sent on 10/01/2015My 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! -

Stephanie Sent on 08/14/2013I 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 !! -

Kara Sent on 06/04/2012McLoone'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 and how beautiful the place was. We truly had our perfect wedding. The minute I saw McLoone's, I knew it was the place for us and they helped us pull off the wedding of our dreams. Thank you everyone at McLoone's for helping to make our wedding night a night we will never forget (with a special shout out to Katie and Nelson)!!! -

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! -
