About

The Surf City Bistro, at the Surf City Hotel, is a charming, historic landmark located just steps from the beach in the heart of Surf City on beautiful Long Beach Island. The Surf City Hotel is ideal for private parties, wedding receptions, rehearsal dinners, Bridal showers and after parties for those couples who just can't get enough of the beach. Our property has it all from 30 boutique hotel rooms, banquet rooms, 5 bars, a night club, outdoor dining on our patio or porch and a fully stocked liquor store. Your guests never have to leave "The Hotel" for your Wedding Weekend!

Facilities and Capacity
The Surf City Bistro offers four different event spaces for couples to host their big day. The private dining room is the perfect place to celebrate a charming reception, offering polished wood flooring, reclaimed wood accents in a soft palate of neutral tones with nautical decor. The new addition of outdoor dining on our patio or covered porch offers a beautiful setting for cocktail hour or a smaller private party. We can accommodate sit down events that range from as few as 30 guests to as extravagant as 200 and cocktail style meet and greets of 200 and more. Most of our couples take advantage of our close proximity to the beach. Say your "I do's" on the beach and walk just steps to your reception.

We were married October 14th 2018 on Long Beach Island and used the Surf City Hotel for our rehearsal dinner and guest hotel for the weekend. We could not be happier with our choice! The bistro was the perfect atmosphere for our close family and friends to gather for our rehearsal dinner and share the night before our wedding. The food was amazing and staff was so accommodating. We worked with Colleen to plan the menu and her reccomendations were perfect for what I told her our crowd was looking for! Something for everyone and so delicious. Also, the room was beautiful and she made sure to pay every attention to detail to make it perfect for us. The hotel was also perfect for our guests, everyone got their welcome bags at the door and were able to hang out in the bar area to end the night after the dinner and the wedding itself. The guests loved the rooms and the beach vibes! Overall, it’s stressful to plan a wedding and the night before can be overwhelming! It was amazing to have so much trust in the Surf City Hotel to provide a relaxing and fun night to share and make memories with our closest friends and family before our big day. Thanks everyone at the Surf City Hotel!!!

This was our dream wedding from beginning to end! We got married on 7.17.17 with our children by our sides. Surf City Hotel took care of all of the amazing details and referred us to the best vendors! They made us and all of our guests feel so very special. They were also so accommodating with our unique requests. I have been going to this hotel since I was a little girl and I am amazed at the renovations! The rooms are stunning and give you that warm feeling. The food was fantastic from the happy hour through the dinner. Our guests enjoyed every second of our wedding. If you are looking for that perfect spot to have your dream wedding this is the place! It will always be our favorite day! We also just celebrated our 1 year anniversary back at the hotel. We just can not get enough and can not wait to go back again!

Where do I begin......
I had such a great experience with SCH. It was flawless.
Although the first banquet manager that I was woking with left with weeks to my wedding, Marc who took over did a wonderful job.
Celine Azizkhan, owner, went above and beyond the call of duty to make our wedding so special. Also she is sweet enough to offer her beach house to allow the girls in the wedding party to get ready and to use the private walkway to the beach for the ceremony. Great photo opts!!!!!!
The ladies at the front desk of the hotel were so helpful with coordinating the rooms.
The atmosphere was fantastic, the food was yummy, the service was professional and the day was spectacular.
I recommend to anyone who is looking to have a beach wedding the SCH!!!!!
