    Perfect Day

    We absolutely loved the look and feel of the claridge its a historic hotel and really gives a 20s vibe that we loved. The food was excellent and the day was absolutely perfect. The photos turned out amazing and they have a beautiful staircase that made for perfect photos.

    They also have a rooftop bar (part indoors with a wrap around balcony that’s outside) that is absolutely amazing and perfect for the after party. Jerry the bartender went above and beyond.

    As far as downsides go they were just a few. I’d read reviews about the elevators being slow but it was a big problem at the end of the reception trying to get to the after party
    Also, the groomsmen were sent to set stuff up last minute so I wouldn’t be seen and they left a big rainbow reusable shoprite bag out in front of our guest book table - very visible for the entrances to our ceremony and then as we were leaving I said “can someone move that bag under a table” and it was still there at the entrances to the reception (in the same room). They had a coordinator around and I just felt someone could have moved it lol, but I’m probably being dramatic.
    Otherwise they were very accommodating, very affordable and it’s just a beautiful venue overall and I would highly recommend it to anyone!

    The Claridge Hotel is Exceptional!

    The Claridge Hotel was the perfect venue to celebrate my wedding! The Claridge is elegant and full of charm. The staff at the Claridge went above and beyond! Jeff did a remarkable job! He was very helpful, accommodating, and was communicative, answering every question I had promptly. He was there for me every step of the way from the tour of the Claridge to my wedding day. Lance, the banquet manager, was phenomenal! He worked tirelessly the day of my wedding, ensuring that everything was in place and ran smoothly. He was so kind in helping me envision and bring about the wedding reception of my dreams, and also kept me organized by helping me create a timeline for the day of my wedding. Curtis did a fantastic job handling guest room bookings! He stayed in communication with me until the day of my wedding, accommodating requests with ease.
    The bridal assistant was amazing! She constantly checked on me and my husband and brought us whatever we needed. The waitstaff and bartenders at the Claridge provided outstanding service. It made me so happy to hear from so many of our wedding guests that our wedding was the best wedding they have ever attended. I am forever grateful for the memorable experience, it was truly the best day of my life!

    A dream!

    Our wedding was a dream come true! From our rehearsal dinner at the Claridge to our post-nuptial brunch at the Vüe Rooftop bar, everything was spectacular. Our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception were unreal — our guests can’t stop talking about it! Lance, Jeff, Aspasia, and Chef Craig went above and beyond making sure every little detail was immaculate. We had the best bartender in the world (Jerry) with us all night, and we also owe a special thanks to Jean and Curtis with all of their help with room blocks, upgrades, and more. We wouldn’t change a single thing about having our wedding at The Claridge…it truly was magical!

    The wedding of our dreams

    Our wedding day at the Claridge exceeded all of our expectations. From the day we first looked at the venue, through the days leading up to the wedding, and especially on the day of the event itself, Jeff and Curtis went above and beyond. My fiancee and I were unable to look at the venue together, so Jeff gave me an extra tour on a separate day. He accommodated our very specific dietary requests for the tasting (which was honestly some of the best food I have had), and the meals on the day itself were just as delicious as the tasting. Both Jeff and Curtis responded immediately to emails or calls and excelled with communication. They were flexible with the extra details and truly tailored the day to us. On the day of the wedding, they made everything run seamlessly and on time. We had various components of the ceremony and reception in different rooms- Jeff reserved elevators for this and ushered everyone to where they needed to go. Jeff even helped line up the wedding party for the processions into the ceremony and the reception. The Claridge staff saved appetizers from the cocktail hour for my now-husband and I, and they saved the top of the wedding cake for us to take home- something I never would have thought of! The venue itself is so beautiful that we didn’t need extra flowers or decorations. The bridal suite is huge with ample mirrors, and Jeff and Curtis even provided champagne and fruit for getting ready the day-of. Our guests enjoyed comfortable rooms with gorgeous ocean views, and we received so many compliments about our choice of venue. We cannot thank Jeff, Curtis, and the Claridge staff enough for hosting the wedding of our dreams and making the day one of the happiest (and least stressful!) of our lives.

    The Claridge Team is excellent!

    Our wedding at the Claridge was stunning and our venue coordinator, Jeff, should win an award for his patience and professionalism. We actually were between two venues and we chose the Claridge because we wanted to work with Jeff. My advice to brides is to always choose vendors who match your working preferences because at the end of the day, you want that experience to be smooth.

    We had our ceremony in the Oceanview Room, our cocktail hour in the Art Gallery, and our reception in the Grand Ballroom. Transitioning spaces made each part of the wedding feel special. We had a multicultural wedding (Pakistani/American) and we were able to customize the space to our needs. The only problem at times was the slow elevators, but Jeff went out of his way to make sure our guests weren't kept waiting, and our wedding did take place during a busy holiday weekend.

    I also loved the bridal getting ready room - it fit all my friends and family and had the perfect space for hair, makeup, and getting dressed. We had access to it all day and the following day, so we were safely able to store belongings in there during the wedding. The food and cake was great according to our guests (it was a blur for us!) and we had no complaints. I would highly recommend the Claridge for your wedding!

    Super Kind and Accommodating Staff & Beautiful Hotel

    Words cannot describe how happy my husband and I are with our choice to have our wedding at the Claridge! The staff was unbelievably super kind, accommodating, and went over and beyond! Special shout out to Jeff, Shari, Liz, and Karina!!!! The hotel was beautiful, and the rooms were spacious, the food was delicious! Everything was handled so smoothly! Also, my outside vendors said they had a great experience working with the hotel staff! We LOVE our experience at the Claridge :) The Claridge team gave us a magical and unforgettable day that we will always treasure for the rest of our lives. Thank you so much!!!

    A Grand Hotel for a Picture Perfect Wedding.

    When our daughter and fiancé told us that they wanted to get married in Atlantic City, it was a different choice for a traditional Indian American wedding that is best done in a standard Central New Jersey venue. When they settled on Claridge Hotel in Atlantic City, we liked the overall décor and ambiance. Jeff S, the Senior Manager who showed us different rooms, answered all our questions regarding the hotel, was very knowledgeable about a traditional Indian American wedding and guided us very well. Jeff suggested taking advantage of the different rooms for the events like the ‘Sangeet’, the wedding ceremony, cocktail hour and the reception. We were really impressed with the Grand Ballroom for the formal wedding ceremony as it had ample space for the stage and the guests, the layout of the Main Ballroom seemed perfect for the informal Sangeet, and the unique Art Gallery seemed to be built just to host a Wedding Reception Cocktail Hour! We could see that the hotel décor and proximity to the beach provided a lot of opportunities for grand photographs and the guests had casinos and the boardwalk within walking distance to explore and enjoy Atlantic City.

    The choice of Claridge Hotel turned out to be way better than we ever imagined. The rich décor of the Hotel combined with the traditional Indian decorations for the wedding functions really enhanced a sense of grandeur that all our guests felt and appreciated! Guests who were curious why we had selected the Claridge Hotel instead of a traditional Indian American venue came back and told us we have set a precedent and that they can foresee many such weddings taking place at the Hotel in the future! The wedding guests were very impressed with the overall grandeur of the Hotel, the convenience of being in one location for all the functions and the customized choice of the rooms for each wedding event. And yes, the wedding photographers were delighted to take very memorable photographs at the Hotel and the Beach!

    Room service was handled very nicely by Curtis M, National Sales Manager who worked tirelessly to ensure a wonderful guest experience. Jeff made sure that all the wedding events were very well organized, working closely with our planner.Overall, Jeff, Curtis, and the staff made sure our daughter and son-in-law had what every couple dreams of when they get engaged - a very grand, truly memorable and a really fun wedding!

    Claridge was a dream!

    We booked Claridge for last year but had to cancel, and they were so accommodating. We rescheduled this year and everything was so perfect - the attention to detail was obvious. They have a separate room for the bridal party to get ready in - big mirrors for hair and makeup and plenty of room - it was stocked with champagne and orange juice and snacks for us. The wedding suite was the nicest room I've ever stayed in - also stocked with waters, wine, and snacks for us. The cocktail hour food was incredible - so many people commented on it - and the plated dinner was wonderful as well. the venue is gorgeous with so many options for where to have your ceremony and reception. I can't say how nice it was to have the ceremony, reception, and hotel all in the same location - no need to hire a bus for transportation, no need for anyone to drive after drinking. The staff were so helpful and responsive - Colleen especially was an incredible coordinator. And how can you beat an afterparty at a rooftop bar overlooking the ocean?! Couldn't have picked a better venue. Highly recommend.

    I recommend The Claridge to everyone.

    I struggled to find a venue in my home town until I can to visit my parents who, on a whim, had me check out The Claridge. I knew in that moment that was where I wanted to get married as the venue is different, classy and has so much potential. We turned this golden venue into a winter wonderland and everyone raves about my wedding to this day (married on 1.23.21). The Claridge is connected to Bally’s which makes it easy for those wanting to go to the casino, avoid walking out in the cold or wanting to stay/play somewhere else. My family from out of town had the opportunity to make that weekend a get away and they absolutely loved it. The food was amazing and no one left hungry. They even include the cake in the package you chose (may have to pay out of pocket for special flavors but it was nothing outrages). Kacey ended up taking over as the Event Specialist after we had already booked the location and I was nervous asI an a very particular person. If it weren’t for her, I don’t think pulling this off would have been possible. She set up a majority of the decor and she came ready to work. Her positive, “fight-for-my-bride” attitude and work ethic has me recommending The Claridge to everyone getting married. She’s even inspired me to pursue event planning myself! Something else I want to note is that Kacey and The Claridge fought for us as we were still in the midst of Covid. While other brides struggled with their venue, Kacey was set on making sure we had our dream wedding. I feel like there is so much more I can add but just simply can’t fit it all. Before counting them out because they’re an older hotel, go and check them out, meet Kacey and you may feel the same way I did.

    Mr and Mrs Fields

    If you’re looking for a venue where everything happens in one place, consider the Claridge. Our wedding took place in the Art Gallery, which provided an elegant backdrop for a small, intimate wedding. Playing the baby grand piano was a nice centerpiece! Leaving the reception upstairs to the bridal suite was convenient and luxurious. The strawberries, cheese and crackers and champagne were a nice added touch.

    The staff was professional, thoughtful, patient, helpful and very accommodating. They were easy to work with. Kacie Rattigan, the Sales Manager, and Lance LaBarre, the Banquet Manager, were exceptional. They had great ideas and were open to mine. They make a great team!

    Truly Wonderful!!!

    From the cost, to the food, location, and especially the event coordinator Kacie Rattigan, our day could not have been better!! We had to reschedule due to an unexpected personal circumstance and they were flexible and accommodating. Great ideas and attention to what we wanted for our setup and the price for the Ocean View room was perfect for our small wedding. We couldn’t ask for a better coordinator and staff. The Claridge made our day something truly to remember and we thank them immensely!!!

    Great Experience

    Kacie and the staff at the Claridge were amazing in helping plan our special day as well as the continuous follow up as we started planning right before the covid-19 pandemic started. She was there very step of the way with vendor contacts, suggestions, etc. She was great, and even though we are unable to have the wedding at this time due to the pandemic and limits which are out of our control, we will definatly be going back to Kacie once we are able to decide on new dates.

    Appreciative.

    Kacie has went above and beyond with all of our needs and accommodations. Her team at Claridge has done everything to make us feel like we are in the best hands. With Cocud hitting us just weeks shy of our wedding, they already had a backup plan. Kacie took so much off our plate we couldn't ask for anything more.

    Support through the pandemic

    2020: The Claridge has an awesome Wedding and Social Sales Manager, Kacie Rattigan. She always makes us feel like a top priority and is super prompt and helpful. Unfortunately because of COVID-19, we had to postpone our reception, and Kacie was able to make that process so simple. She gave us all our options and helped us talk through what would be the best decision for us. She is really dedicated to her couples.

    2021: We booked with the wedding coordinator Kacie for a date that was ultimately postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. She was great to work with through the entire booking process and through the difficult decision to have to postpone. She showed us so many options and helped us envision what kind of ceremony we would want to have. We booked the Art Gallery for the cocktail hour, which is such a unique space. Our guests loved having so much to check out during the cocktail hour – from all of the great food to the art and architecture of the space. The Claridge staff was responsive and helpful throughout the planning process. We worked closely with Jeff and Lance leading up to the actual day, and they put everything together exactly as we wanted it. The Grand Ballroom was a beautiful space and our guests raved about the food and service. The Claridge hotel is a beautiful and elegant setting for a wedding and the staff was great! We would love to get to re-live the day and wouldn’t change a thing!

    5 Star Wedding Experience

    Absolutely amazing venue! I would recommend the Claridge to anyone looking to get married. They have a variety of budget options and are incredibly attentive and helpful for the entirety of the process. On top of the venue being gorgeous in itself, Jamie, the Wedding Manager, made every aspect of the planning, wedding day, and the day after fun and stress free. She truly cares about the needs and wants of the bride and groom and leaves no details ignored. 5 stars!

    My Dream Wedding on Memorial Day Weekend

    I had my dream wedding at the Claridge and not only is the venue gorgeous but everyone who works there takes such pride in their work and made my day perfect. From the moment we were greeted at the entrance when we arrived days before, everyone couldn’t have been more helpful.

    Curtis who coordinated the room block was awesome and handled every request promptly and made sure everyone’s stay was most enjoyable. Mary Beth (wedding coordinator) made sure every detail was perfect from the cocktail hour to the end of the reception. Every detail was handled flawlessly. Everyone is still talking about how amazing the food was – thank you Lance and your staff! I would highly recommend the art gallery for your cocktail hour and the grand ballroom for your reception. If you do first look on the rooftop, hold on to your veil. Thank you for making our day such a memorable event!

    Best Wedding Ever!

    Best wedding ever! We had our wedding at The Claridge on Friday November 1, 2019 and it could not have been better! We had our cocktail reception in the art gallery and our guests were raving about how cool and different it was and the amount of food was extravagant. The Grand Ballroom was exactly what we were looking for. From the start of planning our wedding I wanted something different and not cookie cutter and the Claridge delivered that. It provided hotel rooms for our guests which Curtis helped us with, we had an after party at the view, and a brunch the next morning. It checked all the boxes. Everything was done elegantly. Marybeth, Lance, and Curtis were the most organized and accommodating. They made sure we had the menu, liquor, and wine we wanted. They are the best and made sure everything was perfect and are all assets to The Claridge. The day was definitely a no stress day! We had a blast!

    I fell in love with the venue the moment I walked into the lobby. The wedding and social sales manager Kacie Rattigan's professionalism, knowledge and expertise was superb and made the entire experience that much more enjoyable. The rates are extremely affordable for the location and venue choice. I highly recommend reaching out to Kacie for your wedding, I promise you, you will not be disappointed.
