From booking the date through the day-of Chris and Bill were always available to help and guide us through the process with ease and exceptional advise and expertise. The recent renovations provided the perfect atmosphere and the yacht club gives you freedom with making it your own.

Nobil catering was also fantastic, we went with prime rib and tilapia as food choices and our guests had rave reviews.

We had our reception at the ocean city yacht club on October 2, 2015. On Tuesday of that week weather reports started saying a hurricane was heading right towards us!!! So there was a little panick but Chris and Bill, from the yacht club, put us both at ease, they told us what to say to our guests and vendors. Our wedding couldn't have turned out better!!! I think the weather even made the night better because once everyone was there safe, everyone was ready to have a great time. A great time was what the yacht club provided we have had tons of people say \"that was the best wedding they have ever been to\". \"The food was the best they ever had at a wedding.\" \"I can't believe they could send out that many filets and they were all cooked perfectly!\" Place was beautiful, food was fantastic, and atmosphere was amazing would recommend this place to anyone!!!

They were very effective working with my daughter in planning the evening food and drink. They were great with the bridal party ensuring the reception events went smoothly. The food was very good, served very quickly to our 170 guest.

We loved working with the people there, and we received SO MANY complements on the venue from our guests.\r\rWe met with Chris (event coordinator of OCYC) and Bill (head chef for Nobil) about 13 months before our wedding to take a look at the venue, and we absolutely fell in love with it! The atmosphere is perfect for a shore wedding, and the place is beautiful. We knew immediately that this was the place!\r\rWorking with Bill and Chris over the next year was such a fun experience. They both were extremely helpful, and answered all of my crazy questions (I can be a bit of an over planner). Anything we needed done, they were more than happy to help us out. They also had SO MANY contacts around Ocean City, that we were easily able to find an amazing cake maker, hairdresser, officiant (OCNJ Mayor!), DJ, transportation company, hotel, and alcohol provider through their recommendations and contacts. By choosing the OCYC, it felt like our wedding just planned itself!\r\rThe venue is just beautiful, and has that great shore vibe. We had to do minimal decorations as you really want the room to speak for itself. Chris set up some great twinkle lights and fabric on the stairs that added an air of elegance, and the flowers and shell decorations by our florist were a great finishing touch.\r\rThe food was so delicious! We had so many great compliments on the appetizers, main courses, and dessert buffet. We did the dinner buffet, and it was a huge hit. The chicken and mushroom dish that Bill does was my personal favorite!\r\rThe price was very affordable. It was much less than other venues in OCNJ, AC, and Cape May, but it felt very luxurious. There was definitely a lot of \"bang for your buck\" at this venue.\r\rI could go on for days listing all of the great ways that Bill, Chris, and the OCYC made our wedding amazing. One of the best decisions we made was choosing this venue. I HIGHLY recommend checking it out if you would like to do a wedding at the shore.\r\rThanks for everything, Bill, Chris, and everyone at the OCYC!!! Reviewed on 14-10-2015

I was pretty hands on in the planning and both Chris and Bill respond promptly and efficiently to emails and had great ideas for us. They also had great recommendations for other vendors they have worked with in the past. Even on the day of, they were super accommodating to all of our needs and some last minute changes. They also were not afraid to tell us what ideas would not work, which I think is just as important as telling us what has worked in the past. Chris especially knows the room layout options well and has great suggestions on linens, colors, dj placement, etc. Bill's food was excellent, and he also handled all the alcohol orders, which was one less thing for the bride to worry about. I have a been a bridesmaid 22 times and a wedding guest as well - the OCYC is one of the best venues and the staff is one of the friendliest and most approachable I have ever worked with. Chris and Bill know their venue and city inside and out, and work flawlessly together. The room itself is gorgeous - amazing views of the water and a beautiful outdoor area on the bay for cocktail hour. There is also a captain's room that doubles as a bridal suite with a separate entrance, balcony over the bay, food, and bar for the bridal party to relax. It's a fun and energetic room with huge windows and a great staircase. We had 175 guests, which made the room feel cozy and intimate, but not jampacked. \r\rWe would highly recommend the yacht club, Chris, and Bill.

We were planning a wedding from out of state but Bill and Chris made everything so easy for us-- they were friendly, accommodating, professional & so much fun to work with. Everything was outstanding and we couldn't have asked for a better day. We had so many compliments on the food and the staff went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. They arranged almost all of our rentals for us, we just told them what we wanted. We had a few problems with our florist (the one OCYC recommended was booked) the day of the wedding. Bill and Chris helped my Maid of Honor find another florist and helped solve the problem within an hour. At the end of the night, they packed everything up for us and loaded it into the cars they had to go in. Everyone was so helpful and very pleasant to work with. We couldn't have been happier!

We had 155 people for a sit down filet and crab cake dinner...spectacular, delicious, easy, awesome, stress free- I could go on and on. Bill and Chris are just purely great people to work with- Right at the beginning Bill said to me (I'm not a young bride- I have four grown kids) you don't need a wedding planner- I got this... you will never know if there is any problem, in the kitchen, with the band, running out of drinks- I'll fix it. He delivered. It was the best night imaginable. They have a list of vendors on their website, each one is thrilled to work there and has nothing but great things to say about working with Bill and Chris, all of the ones we used were professional, reasonable, prompt, we could not have been happier. I thought it was perfect, and so did all of our guests. They truly make everything easy.. no matter how many times you change your mind about the table covers etc.. The food speaks for itself- it's great served in a timely fashion so that the filet was cooked perfectly was warm and the vegetables were great- I can't say enough.

It was recently updated and the decor is nautical, without being too much. The space doesn't need much else because it's so beautiful as is. A huge plus is being able to use the dock outside, where we took some of the most amazing sunset pictures!! The food was SPECTACULAR. We had Filet and Crab Cakes- my husband says the filet from our wedding \"ruined\" steaks for him since nothing can compare! I enjoyed the vegetarian meal and appreciated that it wasn't pasta with red sauce or something thrown together with leftover ingredients. Bill absolutely knows what he is doing and I don't have a single complaint about the food! We had 100 people and it felt like a good amount to me, although I know there are other rooms available to use for more people.

After the Hurricane hit, the OCYC needed to be completely redone. Unfortunately this meant that the entire place changed. Most of the venue was done nicely except for the horrible chairs that were in a crimson red color. When we spoke with the banquet manger-Bill about the chairs he simply stated that we could purchase the chair covers from him, but had no other option. \rWe met with Bill several weeks before the wedding to go over all the options and have our tasting. \rThe tasting went very well. \rThe day before the wedding we brought all the supplies to OCYC including are wedding favors (Johnson's Popcorn). I explained that I wanted to have the favors brought to the tables after the cake was served and was told that I was not allowed to have them brought out because it might damage the carpet if people dropped popcorn on the carpet. \rThe actual wedding seemed to be going well. Then the salad was served. There is only 2 salads to choose from (spring mix or caesar), we choose ceasar. And to my surprise the sprig mix was served. \rNext was the main entrée. I had the grouper which was completely over cooked-different from the tasting. So now I have had virtually noting to eat since 8 AM on my wedding day. \rAnd to top it off, OCYC never put out the wedding favors as promised, as we went home with 300$ worth of caramel popcorn. \rPlease note that the banquet manager is in charge of virtually everything and will try to nickel and dime you for everything you ask for. \rWe choose the OCYC based on the location.

The balcony was a great spot for the DJ, the bridal suite was so nice but you didn't feel separated from the other guests, we saved a TON of money on liquor using Circle Liquors, and we used every square inch to get everyone in there and you would have NO clue it was packed to the gills in there! Our non-traditional wedding could not have been done anywhere else and we are SO grateful for the OCYC, Bill, and everyone who made our night PERFECT!!! Reviewed on 19-10-2012
Liz Hunter(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 23-04-2011 From beginning to end, OCYC and its staff were attentive to every need. From the day we toured the venue to the day we got married, Bill and Christine always listened and made sure everything was perfect. The amazing view of the bay can't be beat and the food choices were phenomenal. We especially liked that Bill knew we wanted to maximize our time on the dance floor and we did just that! Our friends and family are still talking about our wedding! Reviewed on 15-10-2012
amy lawver(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 08-06-2012 Chris and Bill are very accessible and easy to work with.... be sure to tell them what you want and they will help you get what ever it is you need... the facility cant be beat with the bay view and sunsets... If i didnt hold my ceremony at my home the dock here would have been my next choice just because of the views and it is so differnt then the beach. The food is spectacular! Bill knows what he is doing!! Be sure to plan the meal and sunset accordingly! Ourwedding was in June and the sunset was late, so we needed to hurry on sunset pictures in order to eat with enough time to DANCE! Overall, THE BEST NIGHT OF MY LIFE!!! THANKS BILL AND CHRIS!!!

Janel Pfluger(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 08-10-2011 I got married on the beach in Ocean City, NJ, and had my reception at the Ocean City Yacht Club last October. I was thrilled with every aspect of the event. Chris and Bill were very easy to work with. Bill went above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly. He even came to our rehearsal and helped us through it.\rThe location was perfect for what we wanted, beachy and laid back, but elegant. The food was delicious and the price point was more than fair. I went with the bartending service that Bill recommended and they were fantastic. The room itself was beautiful.\rMy husband and I got to enjoy every second of the reception and were not disappointed in any way. Our guests had a blast and we received tons of compliments on the venue. I would highly recommend this location, which is right on the bay in Ocean City. The sunsets are beautiful, the food is delicious, the service is professional and unobtrusive, and the price is fair, especially in comparison to other shore venues. Reviewed on 12-10-2012
Paige Ingelsby(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 14-06-2008 My husband and I had a wonderful experience at the Ocean City Yacht Club. We were taken care of from day one by the expert staff, including Bill and Chris, and knew all of the details were in good hands. The recpetion went off without a hitch and our guests continue to rave about the evening even years later - the setting, food, and service. Thank you OCYC! Reviewed on 12-10-2012
Jamie Impreveduto(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 21-10-2011 Bill and Chris were incredibly professional, helpful and patient. They know exactly what needs to be done to make a wedding perfect regardless of the amount of guests. The food is outstanding and the view is breathtaking. Be sure to get a sun set picture, it sets on the bay right behind the building. All our guests raved about our wedding and a year later still comment about how good the food was and how beautiful the Yacht Club was. Reviewed on 12-10-2012

Kathy Kleponis(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 22-05-2011 By far the easiest reception venue to work with in Ocean City. Chris & Bill are extremely responsive to a bride whether it be 6 months or 6 days or 6 hours before your wedding. The facility is beautiful, the staff is very helpful. It's the premier wedding venue in Ocean City -- in my humble opinion! Reviewed on 14-06-2011
Michele Lastname(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 16-06-2007 Everything - the staff was so helpful throughout planning and the on the day of, the set-up is wonderful, there is a wall of windows looking onto the bay and an outdoor deck for cocktails. Reviewed on 10-05-2010
Amy Ronczka(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 30-09-2006 It was right on the bay, so after our guests had dinner they went out on the dock to watch the sunset. It was beautiful! I also liked that there were several places where guests could go if they didn't want to dance. Finally, there was a small lounge upstairs with a balcony and leather chairs. My husband loved that he had a room where he could bring his friends and they could enjoy a glass of scotch.;This isn't a negative, but it is something other brides should be aware of. You do have to provide your own centerpieces and your cake. There are several excellent local bakeries, so the cake wasn't a huge issue. However, I made my own centerpieces, so I had to have a few people bring the centerpieces down from Philadelphia to the yacht club. Then my mother, cousin, and two aunts went over the to the yacht club the morning of my wedding to set everything up. Although everyone had a good time helping out, I would want other brides to know what they need to do so they could coordinate it. Reviewed on 10-05-2010
