The perfect venue
The Yacht Club of Stone Harbor was the perfect wedding venue for our fall 2025 wedding. YCSH has a beautiful ceremony spot on the water overlooking the bay, which made for an unforgettable backdrop. The venue was recently remodeled, giving the space a fresh, modern feel with a coastal twist and stunning chandeliers.
The deck outside is great for cocktail hour, and the bar inside is huge and has the most perfect nautical vibe. The bartenders were awesome, and with enough staff, no one had to wait long for a drink. The food at YCSH is also excellent with so many different options.
The team at YCSH was incredibly accommodating, helping with all the details that mattered most to us. They’re so willing to work with you to make your day perfect. We had 146 guests, which was perfect for their dining room. The layout allows guests who don’t dance to hang at the bar and still be part of the celebration, which keeps the event feeling inclusive and connected. We couldn’t imagine a better venue for our celebration!! -

The Perfect September Venue at the Jersey Shore
We had our wedding at the Yacht Club of Stone Harbor this September, and it was everything we hoped for and more. Dominique was incredible throughout the planning process, always helpful, responsive, and ready to make things work. Pete the bartender brought great energy and made sure everyone had a good time, and Caroline, the floor manager, kept everything running smoothly. Every server and bartender was kind, professional, and genuinely seemed happy to be part of our day. They were flexible with every detail of our vision, even the less traditional ones, and made it all feel completely natural. We’re so thankful for the entire team who helped make our day unforgettable.
The newly renovated space was beautiful and felt fresh and modern without losing its charm. The views of the bay were the best on the island, and the sunset was absolutely stunning. The setting was perfect, but what made it even more special were the people who helped bring it all together. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience, and we’re beyond grateful to everyone at the Yacht Club for making our wedding so memorable. -

The YCSH did a phenomenal job with our wedding in June! Dominique and her staff went above and beyond to make sure every detail of the wedding reception was exactly how my husband and I wanted them. The entire YCSH team truly helped make our day so special and perfect. I highly recommend the YCSH if you want to get married down the shore!! -

Terrific Wedding Venue
Dominique and the staff at the yacht club were phenomenal to work with. Their attention to detail ensured a perfect day for the bride and groom and all attendees. The venue was gorgeous both inside and outside. There was never a wait at the bar and the appetizers and meal were delicious. The staff was extremely attentive and everything throughout the day and night ran perfectly. Our guests repeatedly complimented the yacht club and their staff for hosting a fantastic event. -

Lucy Sent on 10/18/2025Most Amazing Wedding Venue
The Yacht Club of Stone Harbor put on the most perfect wedding for us. Dominique and her team were so amazing to work with and we did not have to stress about a single thing come wedding day because they had everything taken care of. From the initial tasting that is so detailed and gets any initial questions answered to the detailed schedule that Dominique creates to keep everything flowing perfectly or even the way they serve drinks on platters to prevent a line at the bar (my personal pet peeve), the Yacht Club thinks of everything. I can't imagine a better place to get married! -

Best most unique venue EVER
We were blown away with how perfect our wedding was at the yacht club. First, the club is stunning and sits on the bay. You can get all your pictures overlooking the water. Second, Dominique is absolutely fantastic and made our whole planning process so easy and stress free. She truly has a talent. The food is absolutely incredible and you get to sit with the chef after your tasting which I thought was very unique. From the moment we stepped foot in the yacht club and met Dominique we knew it was our venue. It was truly perfect and we wish we could relive the day over and over again! -

We recently had the pleasure of hosting our wedding at the Stone Harbor Yacht Club, and I can confidently say it was an unforgettable experience! The venue itself is stunning, with breathtaking views of the water that create a picturesque backdrop for any ceremony. The indoor space is beautifully designed, providing a perfect canvas to decorate as we wished. Every detail, from the decor to the ambiance, was meticulously curated, making it an ideal setting for a romantic celebration. The staff was incredibly attentive, ensuring that everything ran smoothly throughout the day.
Working with Dominique was an absolute delight! Her professionalism and passion for creating the perfect wedding day truly shone through. From our first meeting to the final moments of the celebration, Dominique was organized, responsive, and genuinely invested in making our vision come to life. She anticipated our needs and handled every detail with grace, allowing us and our guests to relax and enjoy the day. I can't recommend the Stone Harbor Yacht Club and Dominique highly enough for anyone looking for a beautiful wedding venue! -

We loved our wedding at YCSH! Not only is the venue stunning but the staff are wonderful to work with! Due to unforeseen circumstances we had to reschedule our wedding last minute.

YCSH put on an absolutely incredible wedding. Every step of the process was flawless. Dominique was great to work with and made sure that all of our needs were met. Our guests raved about the food quality and service, both are not a given at a wedding. Also, the sunset photos are incredible. -Rob and Amanda -

Jessica Sent on 10/05/2023Simply the BEST!
The Yacht Club of Stone Harbor is the PERFECT wedding venue! My husband Joe and I met Dominique a little over a year ago while we were hunting for a coastal venue that had incredible food, gorgeous views, and excellent staff. As soon as we met Dominique, I knew that there was no one better to coordinate our wedding reception. Her calmness, attention to detail, and enthusiasm made me feel so at ease. Emma was excellent at coordinating the schedule of the night and working with staff to make it happen! Her suggestion of adding a raw bar and charcuterie display was a HUGE crowd favorite. They also remembered my dad's favorite drink, and made sure that there were Coke bottles on deck for the night. :) Like we had heard from many other locals, the food was OUTSTANDING. Many of our family members congratulated us and left the night saying how incredible the food was. Everything that we had asked for, they exceeded our expectations. They were flexible, attentive, and excited to help make our dreams come true. :) Thank you so much YCSH team!!!🩵 -

Simply Wonderful
A simply perfect experience. We chose this venue because the of the staff. We were blown away by the level of service and how genuinely the staff enjoyed where they worked. They made us feel like planning our day was fun for them too, and not just their job. We feel so fortunate to have had our wedding at YCSH. -

Emily Sent on 09/30/2023Sunset perfection!
This venue was everything we could have dreamed of for our wedding. From the coordinators (Dominique, Jackie, Emma!) to the food to the beautiful setting, everything was perfect at YCSH. Even our food tasting was such a delightful day, the service was just exceptional and food was amazing! We had an onsite ceremony which we highly recommend, the view is just incredible and the way the coordinators set up the flow makes it such a smooth transition for you and guests. Everyone loved the huge outdoor patio and the long bar was perfect - no one was waiting for drinks. We had a private room/bar area for our bridal party as well which everyone loved. Just an absolutely perfect place to get married on the water. 11/10 recommend this venue! -

Paige Sent on 10/10/2022The Yacht Club of Stone Harbor is IT for ANY Event!
I would highly recommend the Yacht Club of Stone Harbor for any and all private events. We had our wedding there, and they were a pleasure to work with. The venue itself is right on the water, and the event space has a big bar, amazing patio and large dining area/dancefloor area. It was amazing to have everything in one spot. Folks moved from the ceremony, to the bar, to the cocktail hour, to dinner & dancing with total ease. The staff were flexible and extremely responsive through the whole process. The food and dinner service specifically was fantastic, and when we had to move our ceremony inside last minute, they were prepared! I would recommend them to any and all people looking to have a wedding in the South Jersey area without a doubt! -

Hands down the best choice!!
Hands down the best choice to have our wedding at the Yacht Club of Stone Harbor. The food was absolutely fabulous, and the service was superb. During the planning process, the staff was excellent. We had multiple conference calls, for which Dominque and Emma were well prepared. They were flexible and open to our unique design plan, helped us create the wedding of our daughter's dreams and were very excited (along with us) to bring the vision to life. Their confidence and delivery of service and hospitality, made the experience more relaxing than stressful. Sidenote: we planned this event from Michigan, and even that was not a problem for this team. Bravo! We received so many compliments on the venue and the entire staff - we highly recommend using the YCSH to anyone. And the views of the bay....amazing! -

Kelsey Sent on 09/22/2022Beautiful Bay Wedding- Amazing venue, staff and space
Yacht Club of Stone Harbor was the perfect venue for us.
We planned our wedding in less than five months and everything came together perfectly. Emma & Dominque helped make the planning process and the rehearsal, ceremony and reception run smoothly. They are extremely professional and talented. Every detail and request we asked they made sure to accommodate. Getting marred on the bay in Stone Harbor is the perfect setting. The food was amazing and drinks refreshing. Our ceremony was breathtaking! And the drink display with the sailboat was a hit. The surf and turf was delicious.
The layout of the venue is spacious and also allows for guests to get fresh air on the large outside deck and plenty of space in the dining area and dance floor. This is a huge plus for the evening allowing for variety and no one space being overcrowded. The bartenders were great and went out of the way for our speciality cocktails.
This space is classy and given the large windows throughout even with few decorations the space is beautiful for any event.
Everything about this venue is perfect.
I recommend having your wedding here I am so glad we did. -

Hospitable, Warm and Kind, and overall FANTASTIC.
Where do I begin!... YCSH hosted a wedding that was better than what we imagined. The venue made all the difference on our special day. Taylor was an absolute DREAM to work with. When you book YCSH, you are booking an experienced team, who is incredibly accommodating and anticipates your every want and need. Their amazing hospitality left me speechless.
Leading up to the day, Taylor, our coordinator, responded to every email in a timely manner, made the most perfect suggestions, and always answered our questions with a positive and upbeat attitude. Taylor kept up with every email thread and noted every detail we spoke about (even details we discussed over a year out.) Impressed does not even begin to describe how I felt! Taylor made our experience impeccable. We are beyond grateful and owe her all of our thanks for making the day so special!
Emma, the day-of co-coordinator, was also fantastic! Her and Taylor were beyond kind and made us feel like we were a part of the community each time we visited the venue. Emma, along with the staff on the day of, was extremely detail-oriented and attentive to all of our guests.
The bartenders remembered everyone's drink orders...everyone's! Our guests could not believe how quickly they were able to get a drink all night long! And the spirits were great quality - the best. This was a priority for us and YCSH did not disappoint!
The food was delicious, from our tasting to the event. We are so thankful for the wonderful staff! They work with you every step of the way.
Book YCSH! You will not regret it! It's NJ's best-kept secret when it comes to wedding planning and vendors. And the grounds are BEAUTIFUL. The recent renovation was very well done. If you're looking for a more relaxed venue that isn't a ballroom, this is your place. I cannot speak highly enough about the facilities and the staff, and of course, Taylor!! The best coordinator around!!
Thank you, Taylor, Emma, and the staff at YCSH! Our wedding was truly magical because of you! -

Elizabeth Sent on 10/06/2021Absolutely Amazing Experience
I don't even know where to begin with the Yacht Club of Stone Harbor...our wedding reception on September 25th was fabulous. From the food, the linens, our cake, the flow of the night, the professionalism...our wedding day was a dream come true. Guests have been raving about the night, and I think they also loved being out on the deck area for the cocktail hour seeing the bay etc. I cannot express just how amazing of a venue this is...if you want to be a bride on Seven Mile Island, this is the spot for you. Thank you so much to Taylor and her wonderful team! They worked with us as we booked our date at the beginning of Covid virtually. They were a constant source of optimism. They made it the best day of my and my husband's life. -

Truly the most amazing team, venue & experience!!
All we can say about the Yacht Club of Stone Harbor is THANK YOU for everything!!! The entire team involved were the absolute best, we truly can’t thank YCSH enough for the best day ever. We had the most seamless experience every step of the way-from coordination to day-of. We had to rearrange our wedding 3x due to Covid (and move our ceremony indoors due to rain on the day-of), and the team handled each pivot with grace and professionalism - they kept us sane!
Not only that, the team is so professional and kind. They are truly experts in what they do, and have found the perfect balance of making your day exactly what you want it to be while also providing recommendations or suggestions based on their experience. The respect they have for their couples, their families, and their guests did not go unnoticed!
We had so many compliments from our guests on how smooth the entire day went, how the Yacht Club looked, and how awesome the location is - you can’t beat the amazing bay views + sunsets!!
Thank you, thank you again to the entire team at YCSH for making the best day of our lives so seamless and perfect!! -

May 15th, Yacht Club of Stone Harbor Wedding
The Yacht Club of Stone Harbor was the perfect venue for our May wedding. The whole crew made sure everything was perfect. Taylor is so organized, helpful and friendly, she helped us curate the placements of even the smallest details and was there for us every step of the way. From appetizers (chicken and waffles app highly recommend!!) to entrees, everything was delicious. So many guests were amazed with the venue location and attention to detail. Great location for prime sunset pictures and the outdoor deck cannot be topped. 10/10 all around!!! -

Perfect Wedding at the Perfect Place
I don't even know where to start besides saying one word - PERFECT. The Yacht Club of Stone Harbor was absolutely amazing from start to finish. Taylor is one of the sweetest people to work with and makes you feel like she's your friend during the entire process. I had a 100 person wedding and every guest has been absolutely raving about everything. The staff was so attentive and wonderful. Highly recommend a few touches that stood out to our guests 1. Utilizing their beer boat which is about 7 feet long that was filled with a variety of beers 2. Seafood station - absolutely hit 3. Ice carving done by Chef Ed 4. Cocktail hour snacks - grilled cheese over tomato soup shooters, mini burgers over beer shooters and coconut shrimp over margarita shooters. My husband and I couldn't have picked a better place to get married - highly recommend. -

Meredith Sent on 10/31/2019We enthusiastically recommend the Yacht Club of Stone Harbor!
We had our ceremony and reception at the Yacht Club last month - and despite the cliché, it truly was the best day ever. After we were engaged, this was our first (and only) venue visit in June of 2018. We were so excited to work with Patty after meeting her and visiting the Yacht Club that we did not look any further and booked right away. A charmingly beautiful venue AND the Events Director is incredibly approachable and fun to work with?! A no brainer!
Our only "non-negotiable" was to serve fried chicken on our menu. Patty and Chef Blaze worked with us to create the perfect menu for a family style meal that our guests are still talking about. Their attention to detail and execution far exceeded our expectations (as a self-proclaimed cook and foodie, I have a high bar!). They even went as far as finding white ceramic serving buckets for the fried chicken!
Throughout the year, Patty kept us incredibly organized and was readily available to provide thoughtful recommendations for vendors, guest accommodations, transportation etc. She made the planning process easy and more importantly, FUN. The nerves in the final weeks leading up to the wedding were calmed knowing that “Patty has got it covered” - and she most certainly did!
We enthusiastically recommend the Yacht Club of Stone Harbor - the rehearsal, ceremony and reception were absolutely perfect. Patty and Jackie kept us on track, and welcomed us and all of our guests in as if they were hosting a party at their own homes. This allowed us to really relax and enjoy the day - that kind of service was absolutely priceless! We are so grateful for our decision to get married at the Yacht Club and will forever cherish the memories that Patty & Jackie helped us to create!

Catherine Sent on 10/11/2017The Yacht Club of Stone Harbor was the perfect venue for our wedding day. Throughout planning, Patty, Jackie and the entire staff of the Yacht Club were accommodating, helpful, responsive and so warm/friendly. My husband and I looked at a few venues in Cape May County and knew that the Yacht Club was perfect for our beautiful and elegant but laid back wedding day.
From the stunning view of the bay, to the delicious food (everyone raved about the raw bar, sliders with beer shots and late night fries!), to day-of decorations and service, no detail was left unturned by Patty and Jackie.
The Club truly is a family and we were so happy to be a part of it for our wedding! We can't thank Patty and Jackie and the Yacht Club staff enough! -

Samantha Sent on 09/16/2016Our wedding reception at the Yacht Club of Stone Harbor was a dream come true. We knew the venue is a perfect mix of upscale and casual with killer views, and wound up lucking out with one of the prettiest sunsets of the summer. The event coordinators Patti and Jackie, we well as the GM Pete were all a dream to work with-professional but down to earth and so caring (and very quick response time to even the littlest question). They will bend over backwards and work with you to get you exactly what you're looking for. Everything day of was better than imagined down to the smallest detail. The executive chef Michael is very sweet and makes delicious food that's hard to stop eating (if you're getting Hors d’Oeuvres, definitely get the lamb lollipops!), and was very present before and after which was nice. The entire staff there day of was wonderful: professional, courteous, attentive; each and every one made me feel like a queen! The guests seemed to be blown away with the food and venue itself. If you're looking to get married in Stone Harbor, this is definitely the venue you should go with, you will not be sorry!
*I was a little worried about accommodations for guests, as some hotels don't offer blocks unless you have your wedding with them, but that did not seem to be an issue for any guest. Between all the hotels and motels and houses and condos for rent, no one had a problem at all. I was a little torn thinking it would be easier for guests just to stumble to their room, but a couple shuttle rentals made that a moot point. I was even happier about having the reception there because it's so private (no other hotel guests wandering about, etc). -

September YCSH Wedding
I cannot say enough wonderful things about this venue. By far the best on 7 mile island! So much privacy for your guests, amazing food, no lines/waits at the bar. In the planning process, anytime we suggested something, Dominique was one step ahead. So much thought and planning went into it that the day of, we truly could just show up and the Yacht Club took care of the rest. Not to mention the view! Our guests loved that we were right on the water, and could enjoy our cocktail hour while looking out at the bay. Inside, the YC flags give a very unique, American feel rather than so many places that can feel like a conference room. We are so grateful to the entire team for making our special day seamless. THANK YOU YCSH! -

This is a beautiful wedding venue and we were blown away at the overall appearance on our big day this past May. Special thanks to Jackie and Taylor for your coordination and all the emails, chats, and meetings. We had truly the best day. The food was fantastic. We selected a New York strip steak and crab cakes to serve our guests and the portions were large and food was tasty. The food tasting was one of our favorite parts of the planning process. Even though we had to postpone our initial wedding date given COVID, the team was helpful and our big day ended up being everything we wanted and more. It was very challenging planning a wedding during COVID and I can say I did feel supported and it was well worth the wait. I highly recommend this venue and will forever be grateful for the Best Day! -

Great wedding venue - great service
It was so easy to work with YCSH for our wedding this June 2019. We live across the country in CA but our families are in the area. Patty made everything so easy for us and everything turned out smoothly and perfectly. The venue has just been remodeled and is so lovely inside and new! We got so many compliments on the food! We did passed hors d'oeuvres and then stations and open seating. The lobster rools, pasta station, and giant shrimp shooters and oyster bar were a hit especially. The layout is fantastic because you have a large dance floor where the DJ was setup, toasts and cake cutting were held, and mingling during cocktail hour could occur. Then there is a huge bar with 360 access so no one waited for a drink. There was a side area with couches and comfy chairs which were perfect for the older guests. Then the other side is setup as a dining room with enough round tables and chairs to fit our abotu 120 guests. You could easily put more tables on the gigantic dance floor and still have tons of dancing room. Finally there was the outdoor big deck where guests could watch the sunset. It was right by the hotels, about a 4 minute ride and they have a wraparound parking lot. We also used the jitney reserved in advance to get us back and forth. The photos on the dock during sunset are going to be so lovely, I can't wait to see them. All in all, the perfect venue for a classy, comfortable wedding. -

Devon Sent on 04/02/2018I met with Patty a little over a year before my wedding, and I just fell in love with the venue. I had been to every venue in Cape May County looking for somewhere able to accommodate my 150+ guest list, that wasn't completely a la carte, and didn't cost an arm and a leg. Look no further- YCSH is the place for you. I could have booked them and just showed up the day before and had a wedding - and that is a huge weight lifted off your shoulders. They know the area well, and have great recommendations for vendors for items they don't supply - flowers, photographers, videographers, DJ/Band, and they do a great job having the day run smoothly. Jackie is a BLESSING. I didn't meet her until a couple days before my wedding, and she was so sweet and welcoming, and made me feel like I was in amazing hands. YCSH worked so well with my coordinator, and I could not have asked for a better day. Food was amazing, service was amazing, and we lucked out with an amazing sunset.
I would recommend 10x over and over. -
