    I'm the owner of KD Photography in Sea Isle City, NJ and I have photographed many weddings and family events at the Yacht Club of Sea Isle City over the years. My sister and brother-in-law were also married there in November of 2017. I can't say enough about how perfect their wedding was, and also how wonderful my experience has been working as a vendor there for all different events.

    From a professional wedding vendor's point of view, not only is it a beautiful event location with the perfect backdrop of the sunset over the bay, but it's also truly ideal for pictures with the layout of the reception room, decks for cocktail hour, and just overall modern feel, giving the clients the ability to add their touches wherever they'd like. The staff there is also amazing. Heather is a wonderful coordinator who is extremely talented at her job. She's personable, laid-back, and always helpful to the vendors there, which makes everything run incredibly smoothly. The entire staff is pleasant and helpful as well.

    From a client's perspective everything is just as wonderful. It was extremely windy the day of my sister's wedding and we ended up having to do the ceremony inside instead of out on the dock. It was no problem at all. The entire staff was ready to help turn the room around to set up for a beautiful, last-minute indoor ceremony, and then as all the guests went upstairs to cocktail hour, they reset the room for the reception. Heather and everyone there were so helpful and flexible with everything my sister, brother-in-law, (and the rest of us) needed or wanted. And the bartenders also make amazing drinks (which made giving my speech a little bit easier).

    Overall, as a vendor and a guest/client, I can say that I absolutely love working with the Yacht Club of Sea Isle City, and highly recommend them as your venue for any event you are looking to have!!

    5 Stars~ we would give more if we could. From the first email and meeting with Heather we were sold. The location and decor of the club is beautiful. Clean, updated, fresh, open, bright and inviting. The FOOD~ no words. Everything was delicious. We had a hard time narrowing down our options because everything was so yummy. We were invited to a wedding tasting and couldn't even taste everything b/c we were so full. We were also NOT limited to the options in the wedding packet. Heather, Event/Banquet Manager and head chef Kevin were open to any special requests or ideas. We had a cocktail style reception with open seating and our guests loved the relaxed dining atmosphere. Our guests are still talking about the Raw Bar, the Lamb Lollipops and Filet Mignon Wrapped Horseradish Cream Artichokes. The BEST part, the price. We believe the YCSIC is a hidden gem and what you receive for the cost per person is exceptional.

    Amazing Staff, Beautiful Venue

    Heather and the entire team at YCSIC were a dream to work with. Heather is a true professional when it comes to weddings and works seamlessly with your other vendors. She steps up where ever there is a need and without you even being aware she orchestrates every moment of your day. Her flexibility is amazing. The food was delicious from apps to entrees and many guest mentioned this to us as well. The venue is gorgeous and allows for flexibility in what your day might look like.

    The YSIC is a beautiful venue to have your wedding. My husband and I knew we wanted to have our wedding there the minute we walked in. The view is breathtaking and the room is gorgeous. Heather and the staff are very friendly and accommodating and will not disappoint you the day of the wedding. Heather was fantastic throughout the planning process. She set everything up for us the day of our wedding and she has a creative eye on how things should look! She answered all of our questions in a timely fashion and was willing to try to accommodate any requests. They also are willing to work with you on the food and drink choices. The food is absolutely delicious, like other reviewers, it was hard to choose and not just upgrade everything! Our guests haven't stopped talking about the food and the view and how much they loved our wedding at our venue. We wish we could do it all over again, but rest assured we will be back to relive our day from time to time with our associate membership! We love the Yacht Club of Sea Isle City!

    I can't write enough praises about the Yacht Club of Sea Isle. They saved us when our venue called 2 months prior to our wedding date to say we could no longer have our wedding there due to construction gone wrong. Based on recommendations from a family member, we immediately called Heather at the Yacht Club. She was so easy to work with, and even in our difficult situation with the previous venue, she always had our best interests at heart. Instantly I knew it would be a good fit! She immediately responded to any questions we had with a reply to email AND a phone call, her service was way above anything I have ever seen. Even at the group tasting she was able to spend time with every family to make sure they were taken care of. On the day of, she had everything under control in a very calm and professional manner. The staff was superb, many of our guests told us how friendly and accommodating they were. The food was excellent- again, our guests complimented how good the food was, especially the appetizers. The Yacht Club members were all so friendly and cheered for us when we walked through the member bar to get to the top deck for pictures. One of the best parts of the Yacht Club was that weather that day called for rain, most venues make you call whether the ceremony is inside or out several hours in advance, we were able to make a game time decision and hold the ceremony outside in the brief window that the weather let up!

    Incredible!

    Cannot say enough nice things about YCSIC! Heather and the rest of the staff were wonderful to work with. We had a blast planning with them, and they executed everything fabulously. They are very organized, very attentive, and truly cared about the outcome of the day. Service and food were amazing, and our guests are raving about it! Our big day turned out better than we ever imagined. Much love and thanks to Heather and her team! Highly recommend!

    Heather was our lifesaver for our wedding. She was coordinated from the very first tasting all the way through till the end of the ceremony. She was also very responsive to any and all questions we had ahead of time and got back to us extremely quick. We couldn't have done it without her !

    Heather and the entire YCSIC team were the absolute best to work with for our wedding. They made our dream happen perfectly and truly made us feel like family. From the ease of planning, the stunning venue, the delicious food and the professional staff, everything was amazing. Our guests can't stop talking about how great everything was.

    As the mother of the bride, I worked closely with Heather. She was a fantastic partner as my daughter and I worked our way through the planning process. The wedding was everything we hoped it would be. Heather and the whole staff at the Yacht Club of Sea Isle City were wonderful. I can't say enough good things about them.

    Everything was perfect. Heather and the rest of the staff were extremely helpful throughout the entire process and were accommodating to our needs; such as our families having food allergies and they were willing to work with us on the menu. The inside and out outside were both absolutely gorgeous and the color scheme worked perfectly with what we were going for!!! The food was excellent all of my guests raved about the flat iron stake and the cheese stake egg rolls :). I can not thank you guys enough for making my day so very special

    I've been trying to think about how to word this review so that it doesn't come off so gushing that it seems fake! But honestly, our experience with YCSIC for our wedding in October was absolutely fantastic. Heather was responsive, kind, thorough, and absolutely made it easy. From the first emails, to visiting, the taste testing, and the day of it was the perfect balance of helping me figure out what I wanted but then also moving like a well oiled machine behind the scenes. The setting is beautiful, the building is great (saves a lot of money on decor bc it's already nautical), the bar and serving staff were fabulous, truly it was perfect. And all that with the fact that I spent a whole year dreaming of getting married outside on the docks, but the rain had other plans and we had to switch to inside, and it was still amazing. Heather also has a list of preferred vendors that I used and was so pleased with all of them. Jim the GM is incredibly nice and helpful as well. And they were so fair with the pricing considering all the help and support you get in planning. I cannot say enough good things. We loved it all.

    Great to work with, amazing views!

    Heather and YCSIC have been amazing to work with. We were supposed to have our wedding on 6/6/20 but due to the pandemic we weren’t able to. The club typically does not have late summer weddings, however opened up Saturday dates for us to change to! We moved to 8/22, but with all of the current restrictions we were nervous to have our event. Heather and the yacht club were amazing and gave us multiple options (new dates for 2020, postpone to 2021, or a full refund). Unfortunately with restrictions and postponing once already we decided to take the refund, but the yacht club was amazing to work with. I have heard horror stories from other venues keeping money and not allowing guests to cancel or postpone during this time. During the planning process, Heather was so amazing to work with and quickly answered all of our questions. We are sad we won’t be able to have our day here, but would highly recommend YCSIC for a wedding! The food at our tasting was great and views are spectacular.

    Amazing venue

    We searched 10 locations from Cape May to Sea Isle and not only fell in love with the venue but with the sunset. Heater the wedding planner was also the best. I can’t imagine not having Heather. So knowledgable, professional and most of all calm. There was nothing she wouldn’t do or help us with. The compliments on the food were overwhelming positive. I would do it all over again at the Yacht Club of Sea Isle City.

    Heather and the staff at the Yacht Club of Sea Isle were outstanding to work with! I have been to my share of weddings, and my husband and I wanted to have a venue that was more of a "location." The views of the Yacht Club are breathtaking. We were married on the dock on a gorgeous day. Later that evening, we enjoyed the most beautiful sunset pictures that turned out amazing! The building itself is brand new and looks very clean and sharp. It has windows all around, providing guests with incredible views of the bay.

    But the FOOD! Our choices were the Filet, Macadamia Dusted Scallops and Crab-Stuffed Shrimp. Oh my gosh. The steaks were cooked to perfection. The scallops were huge. The shrimp, delicious! Our guests keep raving about the food! It was served quickly and hot. No one waited and everything was perfectly timed! The cocktail hour... we've all been there when you have to stalk the waiters to get hors d'ourves! This is always one of my biggest pet peeves! Heather assured me that waiters would be circulating constantly, and there was not one complaint.

    There were two bars operating and I never saw a line. The guests said the bartenders were very personable and efficient. The same bartender did our rehearsal and served us mimosa's the day after the wedding. They were incredible!

    I would recommend this venue to anyone looking for a NJ shore wedding. Heather is amazing to work with. I emailed her after the wedding and told her that I missed emailing her! She is incredibly prompt and organized. She put my mind at ease the months leading up to the wedding and of course the day of. She always made me and my husband feel so special. I loved every minute of working with her!

    My son got married at the SIYC Sunday September 9th 2018. He and his fiancee planned the wedding with Heather the most calm, collected human being ever. The setting is beautiful, and fresh. The families were able to sample every appetizer along with several other couples and their families at a special private event taste testing event. We got to have a family style meal of each of the 3 or 4 dinner selection they considered. I am not one for pork chops but theirs was the best. Heather offered many cost savings options. The night of our event came. The drinks, food and the staff were exceptional. The staff very accommodating. Here's the kicker. It poured that day, high winds and with the high tide at 9 PM, the road flooded. The staff was amazingly competent, moving cars out of harm's way. Heather was calm. The waters receded and all was well. The food was outstanding. A rainy wedding was sunny at the Sea Isle Yatch Club

    Heather and all of the YCSIC staff are amazing!

    Everyone at YCSIC is amazing! The food was delicious!! Above and beyond your typical wedding food. All of the staff were incredibly professional, accommodating, and attentive. We originally were interested in this venue because of its location, but after meeting with Heather and seeing it in person we were sold. In the months leading up to our wedding, she was never too busy to answer any of our questions, and always made us feel like ours was the only wedding she was concerned about. She was a joy to plan with - very accommodating and detail oriented. I didn't feel I had to stress about anything because I trusted she understood exactly what I envisioned and she definitely did not disappoint! Everything was perfect!!

    YCSIC is a wonderful venue. Heather and her staff took care of things (both before, during and after the wedding) that I did not even know needed to be done! Heather is responsive and kind and they are incredibly flexible. We enjoyed every aspect of working with the Yacht Club, and they made the wedding so stress-free. Heather told me many times not to worry- and she was right! I didn't have to worry one bit with their team helping. They have a few different price points, but for open bar and seated dinner we ended up around $85/person plus some additional costs. We also had the ceremony on-site which went very smoothly and had a nominal additional fee. The venue has options for both indoor and outdoor ceremonies and you can decide right up to the last minute, which worked great for us with the tricky spring weather. The staff was incredibly courteous and helpful during the event and many of our guests commented on how professional the venue and staff are.

    I cannot say enough great things about this venue!! Heather and the rest of staff were phenomenal!! Food was great and we heard from many guests that they were happily full before the main course came out. Heather encouraged us to try a different type of dinner bc we weren’t really into a traditional sit down - so we had a slider bar and fries along with a bunch of sides - it was such a hit! You really can’t beat the sunset view off the dock- our wedding pics were awesome!! If you want a beach ceremony they set it up and take it down. Zero stress leading up to the big day and definitely none on the day of! Thank you yacht club staff and especially heather for the best day!!
