I can not say enough good things about La Mer! I had my wedding there a few weeks ago in the middle of a Nor'Easter. While we would have preferred to have our ceremony on the beach, the weather made that not possible, but the Harbor shell room worked great for our ceremony. Gabrielle and Krystina are super responsive and helpful during the planning process and Gabrielle was an absolute game changer on my wedding day. She handled absolutely everything. When my DJ couldnt make it due to flooding, Gabrielle played my ceremony music herself over the speaker from her phone, and she found me a last minute DJ that could make it despite the weather. She was so atentive to my husband and I on the day, making sure we had everything we needed including meeting us at the door of cocktail hour with drinks in hand. She set up every last piece of decor and I had a lot! All of my guests were talking about how great she was. Also THE FOOD! The Pier House's food is fantastic and everyone was raving about it. The Terrace room where we had our reception is beautiful and the bar is a gorgeous centerpoint. I highly recommend having your wedding here.

We had a wedding rehearsal dinner followed by a welcome party at La Mer and it was perfect! The food was delicious. The room was spacious for the dinner and the doors opened to expand the space outdoors for the larger party. The staff was very professional and attentive to our requests. We couldn't have picked a better venue.

Krystina Kennedy
Director of Sales
With over a decade of experience in weddings and hospitality, I’ve been helping couples bring their dream celebrations to life since 2010. I began my career as an event coordinator and naturally transitioned into sales, where I found my passion for creating seamless, personalized wedding experiences. I believe in thoughtful details, strong communication, and delivering memorable moments from the first inquiry to the final send-off.
Gabrielle Sceia
Wedding and Social Sales Coordinator
I’ve been working in weddings and events since 2020, blending my background in Culinary Arts with a true passion for planning and detail. While I started in hospitality, I quickly realized that my heart was in the moments behind the scenes—organizing timelines, perfecting décor, and supporting couples every step of the way. I take pride in being a calming, creative, and reliable presence on one of the most important days of your life—your personal partner in planning from start to finish.

I recently enjoyed my daughter's wedding shower at LaMer's beautiful Pier House. Many guests said it was the most beautiful shower they had ever attended! The room is absolutely g...

orgeous with floor to ceiling windows and beautiful decor. We had the pleasure of working with Gabrielle. She really helped to take some of the anxiety out of planning the event with her professionalism, work ethic, and communication skills. The food for the luncheon was artfully presented and tasted delicious. The servers and bartender were very good at their jobs as well as friendly and helpful. I was a bit leery of the cost at the beginning but after the shower was complete, I decided I would absolutely do it all over again!

rst met Kristina during the booking process, and she was fantastic—warm, welcoming, and incredibly patient as she showed us the venue multiple times. Her professionalism and kindness made us feel instantly confident in our choice. From there, we worked with Gab, who was an absolute dream to collaborate with. Her attention to detail, responsiveness, and genuinely sweet personality made the entire planning process smooth and stress-free. She thought of everything, answered every question, and brought such a calming presence to what can often be a hectic time. On the day of our wedding, Gab and the team exceeded every expectation we had. Walking into the reception room for the first time took our breath away—everything was more beautiful than we could have imagined. We also used several of La Mer’s recommended vendors, and each one was exceptional. We are endlessly grateful to Gab for helping us create a day that was not only seamless, but truly magical. If you’re considering La Mer/Pier House for your wedding, we couldn’t recommend it more. A heartfelt 5 stars!

La Mer Beachfront and resort was the perfect space for our September wedding in Cape May NJ. Krystina and Gabrielle went above and beyond to make sure our wedding day was flawless...

. From the early days of our planning we were completely impressed with their professionalism and customer service. Our meal tasting with Gab was delicious and well thought out making the meal selection easy and fun. The day of the wedding the rockstar I mean Krystina removed all stress and anxiety from us. With her calm and professional demeanor she really made us feel at ease by taking total control of every detail and request that made the day so special. The Pier House Terrace was a beautiful space and perfect for our intimate wedding reception, making our vision come to life. Our guests loved the food/drinks and the desserts were amazing. The filet was so tender no knife was needed. We really wish we could relive that day over and over, it couldn't be more perfect! We HIGHLY recommend La Mer for your wedding day. We can't thank Krystina and Gabrielle enough for not just doing an amazing job but for actually showing that they care about us. -The Salvatores

or the occasion. The cocktail hour / reception was held in La Mer's new Terrace room. Wow! The open airy feeling with our guests being able to enjoy the beach front property was truly spectacular. The food was absolutely delicious. It is now 3 months later, and we are still on cloud nine, and our guests had nothing but positive things to say... positive as in "Best Wedding Ever!" Krystina and Gabrielle were AMAZING! They took the stress out of planning and handled it all... If I could give more than five stars, I would!

We had our micro wedding at La Mer Beachfront Resort, and it was everything we could have hoped for and more. If you're getting married in Cape May, La Mer is the place. From the ...

very beginning, the team made the entire planning process so easy. Their communication was clear, timely, and reassuring. Having an on-site event coordinator was an absolute game changer. The weather didn’t cooperate on our wedding day, but the staff quickly and calmly came up with a backup plan that was just as beautiful and seamless. You could tell they were experienced and prepared for anything, and that kind of support meant everything to us. And let me just say — the food was out of this world. Our guests are still talking about how delicious everything was! From start to finish, La Mer delivered a perfect experience. Whether you’re planning an intimate micro-wedding or a larger celebration, La Mer can truly do it all. The location is stunning, the service is amazing. We are beyond grateful to everyone at Le Mer who helped make our wedding day so special!

more intimate and non-traditional. La Mer & The Pier House were the perfect place to do this! Our guests could not stop raving about the stunning grounds, the food & cocktails, and impeccable service. We worked very closely with Gabrielle the year leading up to the big day and she could not have been more responsive, pleasant, and helpful. Gabrielle, Krystina, and everyone on the La Mer team were incredible throughout the process and day of event. If you are looking for a gorgeous wedding day in Cape May, we could not recommend this venue and team more.
