    Thank yourself later

    Lisa and Megan were my rock through the wedding planning process. I was planning from out of state and from our first meeting I knew they had it all under control. There are too many details to even count where they took care of us and made our wedding day perfect. Everything was very structured, which I appreciated. They had decor you can use if you’d prefer. The service, the food, the environment was above what we were expecting. Flanders will always have a special place in our hearts now.

    Amazing Venue

    Our wedding at The Flanders was amazing! From our initial meeting to the last dance, everything flowed smoothly. Lisa and Megan made the whole process seem easy. From our wedding ceremony to the cocktail hour and reception everything flowed seamlessly. Working with Lisa was like having a close friend plan our wedding. She genuinely cared about every detail no matter how small. We received so many compliments on the food! We chose the Asian station for the cocktail hour and it was a huge hit! The meals were delicious and our guests raved about the fun and yummy Taste of the Boardwalk. Our guests were impressed with the service and attentiveness of the staff. Lisa and Megan worked with our vendors to make sure our special day was perfect. They handled all of the small details that I thought we would have to handle ourselves. We truly felt like we were in the best hands and The Flanders definitely delivered. More than one guest told us ours was the best wedding they had ever attended. We felt the same! We highly recommend The Flanders as a top-notch wedding venue. Thank you for a beautiful and perfect wedding!

    A December Wedding to Remember

    The Flanders Hotel produced the absolutely perfect wedding for us on December 3,2022! From our very first meeting with Lisa in January to our final meeting a day before the wedding, she guided us through months of preparation and planning. The final product was nothing short of SPECTACULAR and we could not have been happier with the results. The wedding ceremony in the boardroom was just beautiful and the cocktail hour that followed on the Promenade was equally as beautiful, the staff was SUPER attentive, the atmosphere was amazing! The hors d’oeuvres that were served were incredible and our signature drink was perfectly made! Our reception was held in the garden room which was beautifully decorated to our specifications to a tee! EVERY detail was perfect! Our wedding day was a dream come true, thanks to Lisa, Megan,Andrew and ALL the staff who attended to our every need during the event. We gave the Flanders Hotel, the Catering staff and All the other staff 5 STARS ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ but on a scale of 1-10, they are a 💯! We will never be able to thank everyone involved with our wedding at the Flanders Hotel enough, it was TRULY an Amazing experience!

    An absolute dream!

    Our wedding was an absolute dream at The Flanders! Megan and Lisa were both fantastic to work with and made the wedding planning process incredibly easy (and fun!). The facilities are stunning, every staff member was wholly accommodating and friendly, and the food beyond delicious. We highly recommend booking The Flanders for any event, especially a wedding!

    Perfect November Wedding!

    We had the most perfect, small/intimate wedding in the Garden Room on November 19, 2022. Following our church ceremony, we took photos in the promenade area which was beyond beautiful with great lighting and photo ops. We also took photos on the beach & boardwalk which gave us beautiful & sentimental shots. Following photos, we had our cocktail hour in the promenade. All of our guests LOVED the Hors D'oeuvres and platters offered during this time. We then had our dinner & reception in the Garden Room which was absolutely beautiful! Flanders decorated the space beautifully with navy blue linens, white napkins, gold chargers, and their house gold centerpieces. Our introductions and Grand Entrance were done by walking down a beautiful staircase into the Garden Room which was romantic and sweet. All of the food was very good, and we received many compliments on our wedding. Guests also LOVED the hotel rooms, especially for people with children. The suites made it so easy for guests to spend time with each other in their rooms, as they had a small kitchen & living room space. It was such a great location to have a wedding, and all of our out-of-town guests enjoyed Ocean City. I wouldn't have changed anything about my wedding and would highly recommend Flanders!!

    The Flanders Hotel is the perfect venue for an Elegant Wedding!

    The Flanders Hotel is absolutely beautiful. We hosted our rehearsal dinner, wedding reception, and post-wedding breakfast at the Flanders Hotel. The food is absolutely AMAZING. Karen is so great to work with. She really knows her stuff!! She had excellent recommendations and was SUPER easy to work with. She's very responsive and answered all of our questions quickly and gave us honest feedback when we asked for her opinion and guidance. We opted to get the enhanced package which added several additional options to our cocktail hour, and the "taste of the boardwalk" additional dessert display. Our Cocktail hour was hosted in the Promenade and was absolutely amazing. They were even able to capture the essence of our dog in the form of an ice sculpture!! Our reception was hosted in both of the ballrooms which were gorgeous and really made our wedding feel so elegant. Our Rehearsal dinner and Post-Wedding breakfast were hosted in the Garden room. The Staff at the Flanders is amazing and everyone was so welcoming. I HIGHLY recommend the Flanders Hotel to everyone!

    Truly a dream come true!

    I was never the type of girl to dream or fantasize about my wedding growing up. I didn't have a lot of vision for what I wanted my wedding to look like. I do know that my wedding at the Flanders Hotel was beyond anything I could have imagined. It was absolutely stunning. Karen Bergman was absolutely wonderful to work with. She promptly answered all of my questions and kept me sane and organized throughout the process. The team at the Flanders works so well to ensure you do not stress about a single moment of the day. I was keeping my fingers crossed for a beach ceremony, but the weather was not favorable for my day. There was no rain, just heavy wind. Karen made it clear that if I wanted the beach ceremony, they would make it happen!! Ultimately we decided to remain indoors for the comfort of ourselves and all of our guests. The ceremony space was quickly and discreetly converted while everyone enjoyed cocktail hour. The food was incredible!! I had many guests come up to me throughout the night to tell me how gorgeous the venue was and how amazing their dinner was. Truly could not have asked for a better night. If you are at all on the fence about choosing the Flanders for your venue, make the choice!! You absolutely will not be disappointed.

    The Flanders was the perfect setting for a beach wedding.

    If my family could rate the Flanders Hotel wedding venue higher than a five would give it a 10. The appointments were impeccable from the rehearsal dinner, welcoming party and dinner. Delicious food was served at the correct temperatures. Guests had plenty of appetizers, stations and fabulous service. Since Karen had planned the wedding for the second time due to Covid, we appreciated her patience and understanding. The guest list was constantly changing. But most importantly, the ceremony transitions from the wedding, appetizers, dinner and dancing moved smoothly to the delight of the bride and groom. If we would be fortunate to have another wedding in our future we would return to the Flanders. Thank You. Stanley and Joyce Wirpsza, 1206 Ocean Ave. PS We had our wedding at the January 1983.

    The Flanders Hotel's reply:

    Thank you Joyce for taking the time to share your good experience with the Flaneurs!!! It was m pleasure working with you and your family!!! What a gorgeous couple. Please send my well wishes to Lillian and Michael!
    Thank you,
    Karen Bergman

    The most incredible people to work with

    We had our wedding at the Flanders and it was absolutely perfect! Karen was incredible to work with throughout the whole process from our first tour until the end of our reception. She made the entire process simple and let us customize the day to be exactly what we wanted. Anne and Lisa were also amazing to work with on our wedding weekend and they made sure everything was running smoothly. On our wedding day I felt like I didn't need to worry about a single thing. We were running a little bit late, but I was never made to feel that way and the goal of everyone around seemed to be that I had everything I needed. On top of all of that, our guests could not stop raving about the food! At every event we've been to since then people still tell us how much they loved the food. Highly, highly recommend! I would trust Karen and the entire staff at the Flanders for any of my future events in a heartbeat!

    Best Venue at the Jersey Shore

    We were BLOWN AWAY!!! The Flanders went above and beyond every expectation we ever had. My husband and I could not have been happier with our winter wedding. Karen and her staff are amazing. They are so easy to work with and were such a big help throughout the entire planning process. I was so worried about Ocean City being a dry town and was under the impression that getting the alcohol would be difficult. I couldn't have been more wrong. The Flanders put us in touch with Circle Liquors and we were able to serve every single beverage we wanted at our wedding. It even ended up being cheaper for us to do it this way. Circle Liquors delivered to the Flanders and picked up. We did not have to do anything other than decide what we wanted and give our guest count. Guests raved about the food for days. The space was decorated beautifully. They had two huge, real, flock Christmas trees. The Flanders put us in touch with our amazing photographer. The suites in the hotel are amazing. Having everything in one location made it so easy and enjoyable for our guests. I could go on and on. Our day could not have been more perfect. Choosing the Flanders was the best decision we made.

    Luxurious and Affordable-The Flanders has it all!

    We could not be happier with our wedding at the Flanders. As healthcare professionals fighting COVID-19, we just wanted to have a wedding as close as what we imagined as possible, but with all the safety protocols required to protect our elderly guests. While we downsized from 150 to 35 guests, The Flanders made every accommodation they could to make sure everyone felt safe and we had the wedding we envisioned. Karen was the wedding planner we never knew we needed! The Flanders was affordable, flexible and luxurious. They make sure you have the wedding you deserve. From Karen, Joanne and John at the Flanders, not only did we have an unforgettable experience, but also felt safe celebrating with our guests. We cannot stop raving about how much fun we had and look forward to planning our next event at the Flanders!

    Flanders Micro- Wedding

    The Flanders Hotel did an excellent job working with us and hosting our wedding during the 2020 COVID Pandemic. We were forced to change our wedding date twice because of the restrictions imposed by the COVID-19. Furthermore, the state of New Jersey implemented a ban on indoor dining which meant that our event had to take place entirely outside. Karen Bergman at the Flanders Hotel did an incredible job working with us and her team at the hotel to ensure we had a beautiful outdoor wedding venue by the pool. While our wedding was not what we planned, it ended up being better than we could have ever imagined because Karen and the Flanders did such a good job walking us through every step of the way. I would strongly encourage every couple looking for the perfect New Jersey beach wedding to explore what the Flanders has to offer.

    Beautiful Venue, Amazing Maitre D

    Words cannot describe how amazing Karen Bergman and the Flanders were in making our special day happen. We had to reschedule due to Covid. Karen put in long hours on her own personal time to keep me updated on changing rules from the governor and options we had. Karen was going to do anything it took to make sure my husband and I had the beautiful wedding we had dreamed of. We could not have done this without her! The food was absolutely delicious and the staff were very accommodating. We really loved Joann, Griffin and Anita at the front desk. Will was also wonderful in making sure our reception went smoothly and our vendors were taken care of. Our penthouse was clean and spacious. My husband and I HIGHLY recommend the Flanders to all engaged couples!

    The best wedding experience imaginable

    My gosh, where do we start?

    Our experience with the Flanders was nothing short of 5 star. From our first meeting with Karen to the big day and everything in between, the service was flawless. Karen (Catering Manager/Event Planner) was so congenial, helpful and kind. Her knack for planning, decorative taste and ability to bring the most exceptional experience was so impressive. Our wedding day was spectacular thanks to her help and every guest raved about the food/service. I will be recommending The Flanders to anyone who will listen, indefinitely!

    Amazing- hands down best venue!

    I can’t even put into words how much I love the Flanders. I had my wedding on 9.21.19 and it was the best day of my life. The best food and service. Everyone is so accommodating. My guests still are raving about the servers and there experience. Karen is AMAZING. She is so attentive and made the whole experience so easy. This venue is so special to me now. It’s gorgeous inside and just so unique. I went to one venue when I was looking and it was this one and I booked the next day. I would recommend the Flanders to anyone looking to have the perfect Jersey shore wedding with a vintage antique feel. I’m still at a loss for how great the whole day was. All of my guests said it was the best wedding they have ever been too with the most amazing food!!

    Wonderful, absolute best of the best

    It has only been 2 days since our wedding at the Flander's Hotel and I want to let everyone know that the service and care provided throughout our whole wedding ordeal was exceptional. Karen and her assistant Gina were so easy to work with. Words cannot explain how grateful and lucky I am to be able to work them. Especially to Karen, who is one of the most fun, flexible, and patient person to work with! Our guests loved the food and everyone thought the venue was beautiful. Our wedding was perfect and it probably wouldnt have turned out that way if I didnt have it at the Flanders! Quoting from my 11 years old nephew, "F" stands for fancy. The Flanders Hotel really is a beautiful, magestic, and fancy looking venue with staff that strives to provide the best customer service.

    Best day ever thanks to the flanders

    We got married recently at The Flanders Hotel and it was the best day of my life! Karen and team worked with me to make all my childhood OCNJ dreams come to life at my wedding. From preps pizza to oceanside views, everything was PERFECT! Karen, Jenn, and Gina are AMAZING to work with! They are responsive, eased all my concerns, and were always willing to work with me. They never answered me with a no when I was dreaming up a wedding aspect, but instead worked with me to make it happen - it was amazing! I am a control freak and was worried my day would not come to life - but Gina decorated everything just perfectly! I never even had to worry the moment the day began as everything went perfect. The venue is amazing as well. It is breath-taking beautiful with endless details. It gives an elegant but beachy vibe with the gorgeous amusement park lights in the windows of the crystal ballroom. Overall -- they provide amazing food, amazing decor and a great group of people to work with. We did the ceremony and reception here and it was perfect. Everyone had a blast and I am still getting compliments weeks later. Thank you for everything, we are so grateful we chose the Flanders for the most important day of our lives.

    Exceptional experience at the Flanders Hotel

    We got married May 10, 2019 at The Flanders Hotel. Karen was outstanding from the day we met to discuss our wedding plans. Karen and her team made our entire experience simple and stress free. Everything we discussed and requested, was delivered on point by Karen and her team. She was professional, yet personable, and accommodating. The food was excellent and service was top notch. Our guests were impressed with the service and quality of food, including the overabundance of hors d'oeuvre served. Karen and her team exceeded our expectations and we highly recommend the venue.

    Most Perfect Day Ever!!

    My husband and I had our wedding at the Flanders Hotel late September, 2018 and we couldn’t be happier with how our wedding weekend unfolded. We are long time OCNJ vacationers and wanted to get married on the beach. The Flanders provided us with exactly what we were looking for and more!

    We were blown away by the overall experience we had. The Flanders was exactly what we were looking for in terms of food, atmosphere, scenery and overall experience. Karen and the rest of the Flanders staff were nothing but helpful leading up to our wedding and during the course of our wedding weekend. Karen and her staff were extremely professional and provided quality customer service. We received wonderful feedback from family and friends on how amazing each part of our wedding was.

    We had our rehearsal dinner in the beautiful Garden Room and wedding in the gorgeous Crystal and Candlelight Ballrooms. The food was excellent on both nights and our guests gave us nothing but rave reviews on the quality of food. We are so happy we chose the Flanders for our wedding venue! It is the perfect venue for an OCNJ wedding!
