ICONA Windrift is one of only two beachfront hotels in Avalon, New Jersey, set on 7-Mile Island along the Atlantic Coast. The property was established in 1967 and reimagined by ICONA Resorts in 2021, blending timeless coastal character with updated amenities across twelve room types — from classic studios to multi-bedroom oceanfront suites and condominiums. Seven dining and bar venues serve the resort, including the second-story Ocean Oasis with panoramic Atlantic views, the Dune Bar with wood-fired brick-oven pizzas, Avalon Prime Steakhouse, and the beachside Tiki Bar. The Ocean Oasis Ballroom, housed on the second floor with floor-to-ceiling windows and a covered oceanfront veranda, hosts weddings and private receptions. Beachside ceremony settings are available for wedding weekends, with dedicated getting-ready suites — a spa-lon and a groom's suite — available on-site. Resort amenities include a heated outdoor pool with spa pool, direct beach access with complimentary beach tags, valet and self-parking, and live entertainment nightly through the summer season.

The Avalon Yacht Club is a bayfront event venue established in 1941, situated on the Intracoastal Waterway just south of Townsend's Inlet in Avalon, New Jersey. From its founding on former waterfront land at the edge of the bay, the club has grown into one of South Jersey's most recognizable waterfront gathering places, known for sweeping views of the water and the sunset-lit skyline that frames every evening event. The main event space — an elegant ballroom with panoramic windows and a wraparound deck overlooking the bay — accommodates up to 225 guests for wedding receptions, milestone celebrations, corporate dinners, and private parties. Ceremonies and cocktail hours take place on the North Deck, which sits directly at the water's edge and includes an outdoor bar. The club offers in-house catering with custom menus, professional event coordination from inquiry through the event day, and a spacious parking lot with accessible spaces. Weddings are hosted March through May and October through December on Saturdays and Sundays. Private events for milestone birthdays, anniversaries, bridal and baby showers, and corporate gatherings are available throughout the season.
