    Amazing wedding

    We just held our daughter and son-in-law’s wedding at Oyster Bay this past Saturday, February 24, 2024. It was a beautiful ceremony under the stunning tree canopy and an unbelievable reception full of love, dancing and fantastic food. The weather was perfect and our guests (especially those from out of state) loved the atmosphere and beautiful views. Our guests raved about the food and how organized the whole night was. Many guests stated it was one of the best weddings they have attended. Much of that credit goes to the staff. The entire staff was so kind and attentive to all our guests. Eleanor and Annika were the best team to work with. They kept us organized and provided guidance throughout the entire process. I would absolutely encourage anyone to book here, you will not regret it!

    beautiful venue

    Our daughter and son-in-law got married at OBYC on Sat. Nov 18. From the day we booked the venue, we felt completely taken care of by all the staff, from the planning meetings to the wonderful lunches served at OBYC. On the day of the wedding, we had nothing to worry about as the staff took care of us from the moment we arrived to get ready to the moment we left. The planners made us feel like they were as excited about the wedding as we were. Thank you Eleanor and Annika!

    Oyster Bay Yacht Club's reply:

    Inge!! Thank you so so much for taking the time to leave us such kind words! It was such a pleasure getting to know your daughter and your whole family! You all were so sweet, and I cannot thank you enough for trusting us to host your big day!!!

    October Wedding at OBYC

    My husband and I got married at OBYC in the fall. We do not live in the Jacksonville area so we were looking for an all inclusive venue with an amazing staff to help us along the way. We found everything we were looking for and more in OBYC. El and Annika were so helpful at every turn in planning the wedding and made sure our vision was put to life. With the help of our (recommended) vendors, the OBYC team made our wedding day stress free and beautiful. We loved the indoor/outdoor aspect of the venue and utilized all of the unique spaces that this venue has to offer.

    Excellent while personable!

    Oh my goodness, we can’t say enough great things about this venue!!! From the initial viewing/visit, to the planning meeting several months before the wedding, and to the actual wedding day, Oyster Bay Yacht Club is a place of excellence while keeping it a warm and personable experience. Not only did we as the bride and groom feel treated with top class, our guests are still raving about how beautiful it was, the kind staff and great hospitality, and the superb food.

    Eleanor, Ashton, and Annika, thank you so much for making our day memorable and special!! We will forever appreciate you

    Incredible venue, food & team

    We got married at OBYC on August 19th, 2023. The wedding coordinators here are some of the best in the business. The experience is unmatched and from the moment we booked the venue we felt completely taken care of. The process is extremely organized and well put together. As stressful as planning a wedding is, we really felt like we could count on our venue and wedding team. On to the day: spectacular. As a bride, as often as you've attended weddings, it's hard to picture how your own will feel & go. OBYC was an absolutely stunning venue and our guests had a truly amazing time. We put a lot of thought into the vibe of the event and the venue helped us achieve that. The views of the marsh, the ceremony against the trees, the cocktail reception at the pool.. vibes were immaculate! Last but not least - the kitchen & bar are incredible. The food was some of the best I've ever had at a wedding (trying to not be bias!). You can count on this venue to make your dreams come true.

    Oyster Bay Yacht Club's reply:

    Mrs. Pinho!!!! You guy were such a pleasure to have here at Oyster Bay!! Reading this just made our day!! Thank you for taking the time to leave us such sweet words, we are so blessed that we got to be a part of your big day! Congratulations again and don't be strangers!

    Beautiful venue with gorgeous views of river. Excellent and professional wedding event coordinator and staff. Delicious appetizers and food entree.

    Overall our experience with this venue, the decor, the food and drinks, the staff, and the wedding event coordinator (Ashton Hunter) were exceptional. Ashton Hunter and her assistant ensured that every detail of our daughter's wedding day was carried out with professionalism, flawless organization, and attention to personalization of our daughter and son in laws individual style.

    Oyster Bay Yacht Club's reply:

    Hi Mrs. Kim ~ your words mean so much to me.

    Best Team Ever!

    All of the amazing things I have to say about OBYC, Ashton & Sarah, and the rest of the staff are endless! They are phenomenal! We had been looking at venues but we were not finding a good fit. I found OBYC on a whim after a friend posted a picture on FB, and I am so happy I did. From the very beginning, working with Ashton & Sarah, they were accommodating, professional, responsive, and helped us throughout the entire planning process to make sure we were having the wedding we wanted. They helped guide us through all of the different processes that goes in to planning a wedding such as picking out vendors, invitation etiquette, décor, and so much more! During rehearsal and wedding day, they were always right there to help guide us along our way, and assist with any of our needs, even bustling my dress a few times throughout the night. Spending the last year and a half planning with Sarah and Ashton, we will miss speaking with them on a regular basis, and we look forward to our visits at the club to see them both.
    If you need help picking a venue, all I have to say is you will be so happy you picked this one!

    Oyster Bay Yacht Club's reply:

    Mrs. Reynolds!!!! I'm not crying...you're crying!!! This literally brings me so much personal joy to know that you felt so taken care of and received the amazing wedding day you absolutely deserved! I can't thank you enough for trusting us to be a part of such an unforgettable experience. Thank you again and sending so many hugs your way!!

    Beautiful venue and wonderful team

    From the second we toured, we knew Ashton and Sarah would do an amazing job taking care of us. Choosing Oyster Bay was the best choice we could have made! The team already had a list of preferred vendors and assisted us in establishing those vendor relationships and working this the vendors every step of the way. They literally thought of everything from timelines, and ensuring us (the bride and groom) actually ate on the wedding day, to stuffing tissues in the bridesmaids bouquets for when we all cried at the alter. We received so many compliments from all of our guests. It was truly magical. I can not speak rave enough on how great this venue is! Thanks again to everyone at OBYC

    Oyster Bay Yacht Club's reply:

    Mrs. Schriever!!! Awww, this means so much to us and it was our absolute honor to be with you and your hubby on your BIG DAY! You guys are so sweet and we have no doubt that you have such an incredible life ahead of you together. The next time you venture to our side of the country, come have a glass of champagne!!! Congratulations again sweet friends!!!!

    Could not have asked for a better venue/team!!

    There are truly not enough words to write about how incredible this team and this venue was to celebrate our big day. From day one, Ashton and Sarah were so responsive, helpful and ON IT whenever we needed them to be. It was a perfect balance of planning (which was great especially being an out of town bride). The entire day of staff were incredible, and made the day go SO seamlessly. The ceremony/reception plans A, B AND C were beautiful, you literally could not go wrong with any of them (even if it rains). Ashton and Sarah's vision for how to use the space and incorporate your own vision throughout was just a dream. Our guests are still raving about the food, venue, vendors that the team helped us pick out and just the entire weekend there as a whole. I truly can't say enough amazing words about this entire experience!!

    Oyster Bay Yacht Club's reply:

    Hi. Mr. & Mrs. Burns!!! You are so sweet and thank you so much for all your kind words. Knowing that you, your family, and your friends had such an unforgettable experience is why we do what we do! Thank you so much for the honor to be a part of it, and we wish you a lifetime of love and happiness!!!

    The best venue !!!

    Getting married at OBYC was the best decision we could have made. Not only is the venue beautiful but their staff is top tier. Ashton and Sarah made the planning process so easy! They made the day of the wedding stress free and ensured everything was taken care of. I could not recommend this venue enough!

    An absolute dream!

    There are truly no words to describe how amazing Ashton and Sarah are at OBYC. They go above and beyond to help provide you the best wedding experience possible. From assisting us in finding vendors to helping us narrow down the menu and calming anxieties along the way. We loved our experience with OBYC and could not recommend them enough!

    The team at Oyster Bay made the wedding day perfect! They took care of EVERYTHING, and the whole venue, decorations, timeline, managing vendors, everything was done as we requested! They thought of everything and more, so we were able to show up and take in the whole day with love and fun. We were treated like royalty.

    The most beautiful venue!

    I can't say enough about the OBYC. It was such a beautiful setting for our wedding. Our guests have not stopped talking about it! The staff was exceptional every step of the way - especially Ashton & Sarah! They made us feel like we were the only ones they worked with the entire time. Not to mention, the professionalism, responsiveness, and expertise were clear from the very first meeting. Leading up to the wedding and the day of, everything was perfect. I could always count on their help with any questions we had. They were always 2 steps ahead and offered several solutions. Part of the perk at the OBYC included a decor vault, which was amazing and packed with beautiful items we could use. Was such a big help! Please believe me when I tell you they are the best and will make this experience so amazing for you. We are so glad we chose the OBYC - our wedding day was beyond anything we could have ever imagined!

    There is not a more perfect venue in the world

    Stunning. Everything was amazing. Wedding was during the week of Hurricane Ian. I could not have gotten through the stress without Sarah, the OBYC coordinator who kept me sane, gave us champagne, and gave us the plans a,b,c & d.

    The guests raved about the venue, said it was one of the most beautiful weddings theyve ever gone to. The second you sign on at Oyster Bay they become your coordinator and help with your vendors and all the little things that you never realize go into this.

    The food was outstanding! Literally the best wedding food I've ever had. The service somehow even better and they follow you around all day to make sure you eat and get time to yourselves as a couple.

    I cannot say enough great things about them. They made our wedding perfect. We are so grateful to have celebrated the best day of our lives at Oyster Bay.

    Oyster Bay Yacht Club's reply:

    Mrs. Mui!! We are SO happy that you guys were so happy. Thank you for allowing us to be a part of your BIG day & for your sweet sweet words.

    Couldn't have asked for a better team/venue

    Choosing OBYC for my wedding was hands down one of the best choices I made during my planning process. Ashton Hunter and Sarah Woodward both helped me coordinate my wedding from start to finish and they were both PHENOMENAL. They seamlessly created a timeline that was conducive to my special day, and you could just tell that all staff members at OBYC knew what they were doing when it comes to weddings. They were always just a phone call/email away and they were SO responsive and attentive over email which was super helpful. Let me talk about THE FOOD... the food was absolutely delicious and my guests even said it was some of the best wedding food they've had. Most don't remember wedding food but my guests definitely remembered mine! It was so nice that I didn't have to find an outside vendor to cater food or alcohol. Oyster Bay was also super flexible when it came to our "signature drinks" and they already had everything they needed for them! I did not have to provide much of anything and it was included with the price of our bar package. Some of my favorite parts definitely were the room reveal where they take the bride or groom (or both) up to the reception space so they can see it before the ceremony, and also the private dance at the very end of the night. Overall, it was a 10/10 experience and I know I would have been MUCH more stressed had I not held my wedding at Oyster Bay. They were with me for 15 months and really made my vision come to life on the day of. I truly cannot say enough good things about the venue and about Ashton and Sarah specifically. Every single person I encountered at OBYC was amazing and truly made me feel like my wedding was the only one. The attention to detail and organization was unmatched and I cannot thank everyone enough!!

    Oyster Bay Yacht Club's reply:

    Oh my gosh!!! Mrs. Lauren DENBY!!! You have us crying over here. I speak for all of us here at OBYC when I say we were HONORED to be apart of Jordan & yours day.

    Exceptional Venue with Coastal Charm!

    We got married at OBYC on June 18,2022, and our experience with this venue and it's staff was EXCEPTIONAL. The wedding coordinator, Ashton Hunter, and the assistant coordinators, Sarah and Anika, made the planning process so enjoyable. Ashton helped us pick vendors that were wonderful to work with, and this in itself helped make the entire wedding season so much fun! The venue itself is exquisite. From the coastal charm of the yacht club to the whimsical feel of the property grounds with the backdrop of the intercoastal, this venue fit everything we could have dreamed of for our wedding day. The day of the wedding the staff executed each moment flawlessly and made sure that we had no worries and all enjoyment! The kitchen staff prepared delicious food, and the attending staff made all of our guests feel carefree to enjoy themselves! I wish we could give 10 stars!

    Oyster Bay Yacht Club's reply:

    Fantastic!

    Our wedding at OBYC was fantastic. Ashton, Sarah and the entire team were a pleasure to work with from start to finish. They were helpful every step of the way, from choosing vendors to the smallest last-minute details. The venue was beautiful. We received so many compliments on the venue, the food, the band and the whole experience. Best of all, the team made it so much fun. Thank you!

    Amazing All Around

    We booked Oyster Bay Yacht Club for our wedding after we fell in love with the beautiful location, decor and friendly staff. The venue pricing included both a wedding planner and assistant which was a blessing in disguise. Ashton and Sarah were so supportive throughout the entire planning process including both the rehearsal and wedding day. Words can't even describe who wonderful these two are. We received so many compliments from our family and friends on how smoothly the day went and how great the venue, staff and food were. I wish we could go back and relive every moment of our dream wedding day at OBYC.

    Oyster Bay Yacht Club's reply:

    Mrs. Stephens!!! Thank you so much for your sweet words. It means the absolute world to us to know that you guys were so happy. It was a beautiful day and you were such a gorgeous bride, we can't wait to show off your photos!! Thank you for letting us be a part of it and we hope to see you at your anniversary! Until then, congratulations again my friends!!!!

    Above and beyond wedding experience

    Oyster Bay was all we could have hoped for and more for our wedding. Ashton made every step of the way easy as we planned our destination wedding from out of town. She was prompt, helpful and refused to let us have any stress. The venue offers so many in house decorations and they seamlessly brought my vision to life with very little guidance. The day of was calm and all details were taken care of for us with the help of her assistant, Sarah. The ceremony location is stunning with the Spanish moss backdrop and the venue requires very few additional decorations. The entire staff is professional, responsive and runs so smoothly you and your family will be able to enjoy every step of the process!

    Wedding perfection!!

    Let me preface it to say that I'm the father of the bride, so as you may expect, I did not nearly have the interaction with our wedding planner (Ashton), as my wife and daughter did, but I can tell you that they were blown away by how amazing the entire process went from beginning to end. I can't tell you how much I appreciate that my wife and daughter didn't have to stress about a single thing from the planning stage to the wedding day. As I have been in the Hotel and Resort business for over thirty years, I've seen some very talented wedding planners, and I can safely say that Ashton ranks up there with the best of them. The team at the venue was fantastic, everything went like clockwork, everyone was poised and always made us feel like they had everything under control (which they did.) The food and beverage service and the quality of the food and specialty drinks were spot on, and I cannot think of one thing that was an issue. All of the vendors that Ashton recommended were top notch, and would not hesitate to recommend any of them. Lastly, I felt like I should mention that we have had so many compliments about the wedding and that this is the best one they have ever attended!!! Thanks again to everyone at OBYC for being a part of our memories.

    Hey Mr. Jim, wow, thank you so much for your kind words!! We truly can't express how much it means to us to have been a part of your beautiful daughter's big day. To know you guys are so happy is all we ever strive for. Thank you for choosing to celebrate with us! We can't wait to see what life has in store for them!!!

    Everything we wanted & MORE!!!!

    There is not a single thing I would have changed about my wedding day and I owe it all to Ashton and her team at OBYC! The venue speaks for itself with the views and cozy atmosphere but the team at OBYC was really what made our wedding day and everyday leading up to it so smooth. Ashton is responsive, attentive, comforting, funny and so kick butt, she can handle anything. She and her team make you feel like you're their most important bride. She truly makes sure your day is exactly how you envision. We had a lot of rain leading up to our wedding day and to say I was stressed was an understatement. Ashton was calm, reassuring, and talked us through all the potential day-of plans, for whatever the weather had in store. We were fortunate enough that morning rain passed and the sun decided to shine on our special day. The team at OBYC was drying the grass with a leaf blower and draining water puddles in the driveways. They were doing it ALL! I was so relaxed the morning of my wedding because I knew Ashton and Sarah had everything taken care of. Our guests raved about the venue, the food, and the ease in which the day progressed. I recommend OBYC to anyone who is getting married. It was the best day and one we truly cherish!

    Oyster Bay Yacht Club's reply:

    Carly ~ we are so grateful to have had the honor to be a part of your day! It makes us so incredibly happy to know that your BIG day was everything you wanted and more, and it couldn't have been more perfect for a more perfect couple! Thank you for letting us share in this experience with you and your husband, and we can't wait to see what life has in store for you two!!

    One of the best (and easiest) decisions we made!

    We knew OBYC was the right venue for us when we were greeted with a glass of champagne and a personalized draft timeline and seating chart for our wedding day. Throughout the entire planning process, Ashton managed every small detail on our behalf, and every detail was personalized and catered to what she knew we wanted and needed. She coordinated with all of our vendors, accommodated special requests, and managed every small change that occurred as a result of COVID. We would not have made it without Ashton!

    Oyster Bay Yacht Club's reply:

    Neisha, it was truly such an honor to get to know you and your now HUSBAND!! I am so excited for your new adventure as a family and hope that you visit as it grows! Congratulations again!!

    Best Planner/Venue EVER

    To say Oyster Bay Yacht Club is perfect is seriously an understatement. The staff, the location, the food, and the ambiance are all absolutely amazing.
    On that same note, I need to take a moment to talk about their in-house wedding planner, Ashton. We originally had a different planner before and was nervous about the changeover, but Ashton blew me out of the water. She is not only extremely knowledgeable and talented in wedding planning, she is kind, flexible, beyond helpful, and ALWAYS has the couple’s best interest in mind. She is always quick to respond to emails, helped me clear my head when I felt disorganized, and all around made us feel so at peace with the entire planning process.
    I cannot overstate how incredible it was to have our wedding at OBYC, but it wouldn’t have been what it was without Ashton!

    Oyster Bay Yacht Club's reply:

    Mrs. Drury!! Your words mean so much to us! I was absolutely honored to get to be a small part of such a big day. We are so so so happy for you guys, and I'm literally overjoyed that you're so happy!! Congratulations again and don't be strangers! Sending hugs!!!

    Perfect Wedding

    All I can say is WOW. Ashton and her team went above and beyond. This was such a stress free wedding planning process thanks to Ashton- she was always checking in on me & happy to help whenever I needed her. She is truly SO talented and a true professional. Having my wedding at Oyster Bay was the best decision ever. I got married underneath the mossy oaks- it was breathtakingly beautiful. I had guests raving about how gorgeous the ceremony was as well as the AMAZING food and venue/decor was. Speaking of decor, they have so much you can use and did an amazing job setting everything up. My vision came to life & when I saw my reception room for the first time I truly couldn't speak and starting tearing up it was sooo beautiful! You will not regret choosing OBYC as your venue. Ashton, Kelsey, & Staff truly treated me like a queen. 10/10 venue, food, staff. I could go on and on. I will cherish this day for the rest of my life!

    Oyster Bay Yacht Club's reply:

    To say it was an honor doesn't quite cover it! You and your family were the absolute sweetest, and you were a GORGEOUS bride! It brings our entire team overwhelming joy to know how happy you all were with your day. Can't wait to see you at your anniversary and congratulations again!!!

    A Dream Wedding

    I cannot recommend Oyster Bay enough. My husband and I do not live in the area, but Ashton's expertise, efficiency, and attentiveness made the distance seem like nothing. Having your planner tied to the venue is more helpful than you can imagine. Oyster Bay and Ashton are very established in the area, so they have recommendations and connections with the best vendors. This dynamic venue is also amazing because you can get ready, married, and party all in the same place! If you are lucky enough to get an opening with this venue, SNAG IT ASAP!

    Oyster Bay Yacht Club's reply:

    Allison, your kind words mean the world to us! Nothing means more than knowing you were happy with your amazing day!! Congratulations again Mr. & Mrs. Deery! : )
