Hotel LBI Reviews

Hotel LBI was by far the best wedding venue out there. The entire experience was just outstanding and our wedding day was over the top. The entire staff did an amazing job and you could just tell every one of them gave it their all to give you the best you deserve on your wedding day. Our guests made several comments on how friendly and accommodating everyone at Hotel LBI was, whether it was parking attendants, greeters, the front desk, waiters or bartenders – everyone was overly impressed with the service. We can not say enough good things about Donna, Petra, Erica, and Emily. From the first day we met with Donna, we knew that was where we wanted to get married. She was just the best and treated you as if you were her own kids getting married. She answered emails so quickly, addressing the many questions we had; gave us suggestions and advice throughout the entire process; she let us know she was there to help us with anything and that is exactly what she did. We knew we were in great hands and will forever be thankful for her. If Donna was out of the office, Erica was right there to step in and respond. They didn’t miss a beat. Petra and Emily were amazing the day of our wedding. Emily was by my side at all times helping with whatever I needed. My dress got dirty when we went to the beach for pictures and she did everything she could to get the train clean for me to walk down the aisle. She was on top of it! Petra was an incredible maître de and made everything flow seamlessly. We did not have to worry about a thing! It poured most of our wedding day so we had to move everything inside. Her and Donna coordinated everything to make the change and the staff did an outstanding job flipping the room over between ceremony and reception. It honestly worked out perfectly and everyone commented that they actually liked the Conservatory for the ceremony better because the room was just so different, and having cocktail hour in the Living Room was great, there was plenty of room for everyone to sit or mingle. The entire night went off without a hitch and it is all thanks to Donna, Petra and the rest of the team. The food is a whole other story. Cocktail hour was over the top! There were SO many choices. We upgraded to the Asian station which was a huge hit. The lamb chops were amazing, the shrimp cocktail was huge. Guests just raved about all of it! We went with the Filet and Lobster combo for dinner and everything was beyond delicious. It is so impressive that for such a large crowd every steak comes out cooked to perfection. Again, our guests could not have enough to say about the dinner, especially the fact that everyone at the table was served at the same time. It’s all the little details that really stand out to people and Hotel LBI definitely excelled in every aspect. Oh, and one more thing – the bridal suite – AMAZING! If you can book it, then splurge. It is so worth it! Still to this day we get comments from family and friends saying it was the best wedding they’ve ever been to, that other cocktail hours will never compare to ours, that we set the bar pretty high for weddings going forward. It makes us so happy to hear this because it truly was the best day of our lives. We keep saying we wish we could go back and do it all over again. We can’t wait to go back for our anniversary!

We couldn't have asked for a more perfect wedding and the team at Hotel LBI were absolutely wonderful to work with. From start to finish, we have been blown away with the professionalism, responsiveness, kindness, inclusivity, and expertise that the Hotel LBI team exhibits. Donna and Erica were absolutely amazing to work with in the tour, booking, and planning processes. They would reply so quickly with a thorough response to any and all questions that we had. On the day of, Donna, Petra, and Leah were the best people to have around. Leah, our bridal attendant, thought of everything and was so kind throughout the entire day. Petra was a force to be reckoned with and kept everything in order with a gentle approach. We had the best day and were so grateful for the kindness and compassion the team showed us. They had us smiling all day.

With respect to food, we keep getting messages from family and friends telling us how delicious everything was. We loved our cocktail hour selections, opted to upgrade with the raw bar and late night snacks (taylor ham, egg, and cheeses -- great choice), and gave our guests entree selections (chicken, halibut, filet). Their timing was impeccable and our guests were so well fed. We also did a send-off breakfast and, of course, everything was delicious.

In addition to our wedding group, the front desk team and room block manager were incredibly professional and helpful throughout our stay at the hotel for us as well as our guests. Our tasting a few months earlier went so smoothly and the service team are next level.

You are truly getting a wrap around service when booking Hotel LBI for your wedding and you will not be disappointed. Their attention to detail is absolutely on point and they help you think of everything. I could not have imagined a better team to work with and am so glad that we were able to share this moment in our lives with such a wonderful group of individuals! We felt so taken care of and felt truly grateful for having such kind people around us on such an important day.

We had our magical day at Hotel LBI and from start to finish it was the best experience we could ask for. We were blown away by the beautiful space at the first sight of it. After booking our date, Donna worked closely with us to help us plan a special day that was unique and personalized. Donna was incredibly knowledgeable and gave us great advice throughout the wedding planning process. We had frequent communications and she always responded promptly and thoroughly. She gave us great recommendations for vendors. When it came time for our big day, we knew we were in good hands with Donna and her team including Erica, Petra and Emily and the many other wonderful staff members at Hotel LBI. It gave us such peace of mind that everything would run smoothly so we were able to fully be present in the moment and enjoy our day to the fullest extent. It was incredible! The food was fantastic; the steak and lobster, which can be difficult to prepare on a large scale, was cooked perfectly for each one of our guests. The creme brulee was to die for! The bartenders were fast and efficient and served our guests quickly so lines did not form at the bars. The waitstaff service was outstanding. We chose to have our ceremony in the conservatory (gorgeous!) and after the room was transformed into our reception space while our guests were at the cocktail hour on the covered veranda. The team beautifully executed our vision and set each table meticulously with our decorations. During cocktail hour, we were able to slip away across the street to take sunset pictures on the bay. The proximity of Hotel LBI to the water offers an incredible opportunity for amazing pictures. There were so many spots throughout the hotel that offered beautiful backdrops for photos. This venue is really one of a kind and ticked every item on our checklist. Top ratings for every facet. Overall, we felt genuinely taken care of and that the Hotel LBI team was personally invested in our special day. We received so many compliments in the days after our wedding from friends and family about the memories made that will last a lifetime.

This weekend we had our wedding at Hotel LBI and what a truly amazing wedding it was. I found hotel lbi on wedding wire but what helped me decide is when we saw how beautiful the hotel was and when we met Erica and Donna. I wanted to start with Donna, wow she is truly the best wedding coordinator I believe out there. She was on top of everything and I never had to worry about a THING! I really can’t imagine going through this whole planning process without her. She was so professional, so responsive, so personable and overall just an absolute pleasure. Donna, Gabe, my family and I can’t thank you enough. Next Petra who is just as amazing. Both her and Donna have such a positive uplifting energy that being around them just makes everyone happy. We met Petra at our food tasting appointment and she was so fun, personable and very professional. Petra made sure to keep everyone in the loop all of the wedding day and our bridesmaids, groomsmen and family loved her! Both Kim, Petra and Donna made sure I had everything I needed before, during and after the wedding. Erica was also so great to work with. We met her at our first tour and she was amazing. Also helped answer a lot of questions along the way. Our welcome dinner and wedding was absolutely perfect and far exceeded my expectations. Our guests were raving about how great the food was, the gorgeous venue and how sweet all the hotel employees were. I truly can’t thank hotel lbi, Donna, Petra, Erica and Kim enough. Because of all of you we had the most special day. A wedding I will always look back on and remember as the most beautiful day. Thank you Hotel LBI for giving us and helping us achieve the best wedding I could of imagined.

Words cannot express how wonderful the Hotel LBI team is. Donna, Erica, and Petra go above and beyond to make this the most special day ever!! Donna was so wonderful to work with in planning the most amazing day and Petra is exceptional!!! I still don't know how anyone can be so incredibly organized but I am so grateful!! We had to best wedding and our friends and family are still raving about how amazing the venue, food, drinks, service, everything!!

Where do I begin? We knew from the moment we toured this venue back in summer 2021 that we were in great hands at Hotel LBI and that it was a no brainer decision. Erica, Donna, and Petra are ROCKSTARS who make magic happen behind the scenes. From day 1, they are there to help answer any questions, provide advice, and just make your life easier through the entire planning process. I am a pretty “type A” bride but these women have been in the industry and run countless weddings that I felt like I was in the best hands possible even without having a planner.

We had our ceremony in the same room as the reception and I was shocked by how efficiently and beautifully they flipped the room during cocktail hour. When we booked the venue, I hadn’t even realized that a bridal assistant was included, but I was SO glad I had Kim by my side throughout the day while getting ready and into the ceremony/reception as she truly thinks of what you need ahead of time before you even think of it!

The attention to detail and communication was 10/10. I truly could not have imagined my day anywhere else. The quality of service definitely matches the price point. I highly recommend for any future brides looking to get married in the LBI area!!

1000/10 !! I cannot recommend this venue more! They went above and beyond for my husband and I that even two weeks later we are still on Cloud9. From start to finish the whole process was relaxing, never any hiccups and did exactly what they said they would do. My husband and I from the moment we met with Donna we knew we were in the right hands. Because of her I did not need to hire a wedding planner! She took us under her belt as if we were one of her own and made sure our dream wedding happened exactly the way we wanted. She was super responsive and helpful along the entire process and gave lots of recommendations that we used and LOVED. Can’t forget about Petra (Donnas right hand woman) and my Maître D' was the behind the scenes day of (but you’ll meet her WAY before your actual wedding) to make sure my day went smoothly. And then KIM my GIRL! She was with my from the beginning of the day right up until the end. Held my train, bustled my dress, changed my shoes (also made sure they were waiting for me under the table), helped me get into my second dress, made sure our drinks were full including water and just waited on me and my husband hand and foot all night long: She was absolutely a A ROCKSTAR that day.

Our food was top notch! Nick is a phenomenal chef and cannot thank him enough. Its definitely different from your regular wedding food and another big reason this venue stood out above all. Cocktail hour was phenomenal and then for reception the food was excellent. Started with a burrata salad, followed by sorbet to cleanse your pallet and we served filet and lobster as our main course, they were very accommodating to any allergies and food restrictions as well. People are raving about how delicious our food was!

What stood out to us when choosing the venue was a few things:
1. The room itself: we didn’t want a big ballroom, we were looking for my of a modern feel but still was very elegant to have a beautiful wedding.
2. That we were the ONLY wedding that day
3. How every table has their OWN waiter/waitress - so they constantly made sure drinks were being filled when people were seated, etc. Gave it more of a personal feel!
4. And everything all in one spot! From ceremony on the rooftop, to reception in the conservatory to the after party in the bar in the lobby to rooms just an elevator ride up!

I don’t know what I would have done without the dream team that Hotel LBI provides. But This was truly the best day of my life, with no stress just focusing making you and your husband happy. They think of every last detail from the start of your ceremony right up until the end. You will not regret your decision with them!

I cannot say enough about Hotel LBI. The staff went above and beyond during our whole wedding planning process. They made our special day go so smoothly! Our guest couldn't stop talking about this venue and how amazing everything was. I would not have changed a single thing! I wish I could do it all over again.

We stubled upon Hotel LBI by mistake and I am truly glad we did! I fell in love with Hotel LBI the minute we pulled up and even more so once we got to the roof top. It was the absolute perfect venue for my husband and I. Meeting with Donna for the first time was the absolute best, she knew exactly how to incorporate every detail we wanted and between her and Petra, the day was absolute perfect. The food was amazing, the service was great! We have recieved so many compliments about how breathtaking everything was. I am so thankful that we chose Hotel LBI and for everything their team does. It was the ultimate venue for our wedding!!

Hotel LBI was absolutely phenomenal when it came to planning my wedding and ensuring everything was running smoothly day of. The food was amazing and service was excellent. Donna and Petra work wonderfully together to make sure that your day is the best day of your life. I was absolutely blown away with how everything went. Highly highly recommended!!

Hotel LBI went above and beyond to make sure our wedding was exactly what we wanted and more. The venue is breathtakingly beautiful and completely unlike any other wedding venue we visited. Our guests raved about the food. Hotel LBI offers plenty of options and every single one is delicious! You really get a five star package when you book with Hotel LBI. Donna was amazing help throughout the planning process. Petra is there the entire day making sure everything goes smoothly. Kim is by your side the entire day, making sure you have everything you need. She was such a help. She held my flowers and the back of my dress while walking. She got me a cup of hot tea and a sweater to wear in between taking photos outside since it was chilly and windy. She got us drinks from the bar all night long. The event staff are very attentive and are right there when needed. I couldn't be happier with how the day turned out. Hotel LBI really made our wedding dreams come true. I will shout their praises from the rooftop forever. Your search for a wedding venue has ended. You will find everything you are looking for here.

My wife and I got married at Hotel LBI in November 2021 and reviews cannot do a justice for this venue. Hotel LBI has it all -- breath taking views of LBI, a stunning, romantic, and intimate reception hall, beautiful/comfortable, new rooms of the hotel, and a service team that is tentative not only to the bride and groom but every single guest at our wedding.

Donna, Petra, Kim and the team at Hotel LBI exceeded every expectation we had and did such an incredible job and truly made our special day absolutely perfect!

We had so many guests comment to us about how beautiful the Hotel was, how amazing the team was in attention to detail, and the food at our cocktail hour and dinner was like nothing they've ever had. "The best wedding we've ever been to" was a common compliment we received from our guests by the end of the evening.

Nothing can describe the feeling my wife and I had when we first saw our reception room before our guests were invited in - fully decorated tables, candles the sweetheart table and fireplace create an intimate atmosphere that is unique and special.

It wasn't easy planning a wedding during a pandemic but Donna and her team made things so much easier. She is always available regardless of when we called/emailed her, her talent she brought to planning our wedding was invaluable and she treats you like you are her own family. We cannot thank Donna and the team enough for making the best day of our lives come true and we cant wait to plan future events with Hotel LBI.

Hotel LBI was everything we wanted in a venue and more. The staff, especially, Donna, Petra and Kim were just amazing. From the beginning phases of planning to the day of Donna and her team made sure everything we wanted for our wedding was made possible. I can not recommend Hotel LBI enough to my friends and family. They are truly one of the best wedding Venues I’ve ever been to. You and your future spouse will not be disappointed in booking with hotel lbi!

Hotel LBI was everything we wanted! A modern ballroom feel, rooms on site, after party, everything! Everyone was super attentive and helpful! Our guests loved the atmosphere and raved about the food! Could not be happier!

We had the best experience getting married at Hotel LBI. Even through all the pandemic ups and downs, Donna, Petra and their team were always optimistic, organized and delivered the most incredible experience. I would not change a thing about our wedding and am so glad we booked with Hotel LBI. You will actually get to ENJOY your wedding day and not have it pass you by.
