On the property
“The club has one of the few water views on 7-mile island for dining, and you get to see the sun set through the main window, over the water--a truly enjoyable experience.”
“We were engaged July October 2018, then walked to the yacht club the very next day (unannounced) to check availability and we instantly knew this was going to be our venue.”
What couples highlight
“The wedding we attended was on a beautiful early October day.”
“One of the best sunset spots on Avalon, and the waitstaff is attentive without being annoying.”
“Although New Jersey is our home, Avalon is still a considerable distance away, making this more like a destination wedding.”
From the reviews
You MUST book your wedding at AYC!!! Cannot say enough good things about Brian, Jarrod and the team at AYC. We were engaged July October 2018, then walked to the yacht club the very next day (unannounced) to check availability and we instantly knew this was going to be our venue.
Thank you Jarrod and team for an absolutely wonderful wedding experience. It was more than we could have hoped for. Very simply, the serene view was complemented by the outstanding service and incredible food.
Exquisite food and wonderful entertainment. This place is set in a wonderful location and if you're fortunate enough to get to go here, you will not regret it. Highly recommend the crab cakes.
The Avalon Yacht Club has a prime location. If you are inside the club there are water views from almost every angle. Those who belong just love it. There are numerous activities all summer long for the children and adults. If you are thinking of joining you should.
Getting married at Avalon Yacht Club
Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see the ceremony spot at the exact time of day you'd say your vows — a west-facing beach glows at sunset but bakes at noon, and you'll want to feel the wind, watch where the sun sits, and walk the path your guests take across the sand. Second, bring your real questions: the weather backup (where does the ceremony move if it rains or the wind kicks up?), who pulls the beach permit, the sound-ordinance curfew, the catering and bar policy, and exactly what's included — chairs, setup, and teardown on sand are where quotes quietly diverge. Peak beach dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
