formal celebration
on your horizon?
Whether you envision an elegant reception for 1,000 guests or
an intimate ceremony on the beach, Monmouth County offers
destinations and dedicated professionals to create the affair of
your dreams.
You’ll find many venues to choose from for breathtaking
waterfront weddings, and all have been recognized as
exemplary in the popular wedding websites. Whether your
vision is an elegant formal affair or a barefoot ceremony on the
sand followed by a clambake, bonfire and s’mores under the
stars, the oceanfront setting of newly-renovated Ocean Place
Resort & Spa in Long Branch offers the perfect backdrop for
your wedding celebration. Look to Red Bank’s traditional Molly
Pitcher Inn and elegantly contemporary Oyster Point Hotel,
both known as exceptional venues with their attentive service,
excellent catering and stunning views of the picturesque
Navesink River. Elegant indoor and outdoor spaces host
receptions and events at the Sheraton Eatontown Hotel, and
their friendly and knowledgeable staff will happily arrange all
the details for an oceanfront wedding ceremony as well. The
Hotels Unlimited family of hotels invites couples to celebrate
their special day in one of their gracious properties. Whether
your celebration is a grand gala in the Sterling Ballroom or a
friendly get-together for family and loved ones in the Sapphire
Ballroom, the professional staff at the Doubletree Inn of Tinton
Falls goes to great lengths to make sure every element is
nothing short of perfect.

affairs without extraordinary price tags. Many restaurants and
waterfront nightspots have party facilities and are extremely
popular for the low-key elegance of a second wedding
celebration.
Whether you’re celebrating a birthday, anniversary, shower or
milestone event, Avenue, on the beach at Pier Village in Long
Branch, is the ideal destination for affairs to remember. For
events ranging from intimate to extravagant, Avenue’s roof
deck, with striking sunsets and sweeping views of the Atlantic
Ocean, is a setting for blowout Sweet 16, Quinceañera and
Bar/Bat Mitzvah galas. With ample space for mingling, mixing
and dancing your party will be truly unforgettable. If you like
sand between your toes during your event, Avenue can even
orchestrate a private barbecue on the beach.
No matter where you choose to hold your ceremony and
reception, Monmouth County offers a number of spectacular
sites to create unforgettable wedding pictures: at the beach,
beneath a flowering tree or in a historic home. The Historic
Village at Allaire State Park offers a chapel and a wide
range of scenic spots perfect for special photographs. For
