Why You'll Love This Place
A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
- Combining laid-back luxury and dazzling ocean views, this Long Branch getaway exemplifies the fabulous possibilities of a Jersey Shore weddings—and is the only resort in the state that's positioned right on the beach. It's especially well-suited to South Asian weddings—there are rooms to accommodate your Haldi, Baraat, Sangeet, and more, with space for 650 guests and a welcoming outside catering policy.
- 530 feet of private beach set the stage for toes-in-the-sand ceremonies, just steps from the surf. You can celebrate entirely al fresco with a tented reception and a late-night beach bonfire, or let the party flow seamlessly from outdoor cocktails on the palm-lined patio or oceanfront terrace into an elegant indoor reception in one of two gracious ballrooms.
- Work with the fabulous events team to plan a whole weekend of events, from pre-wedding pampering in the on-site spa to welcome cocktails at the Tiki Bar to post-nuptial brunch beneath the shade sails at Til's Oceanside Restaurant. Located just 50 miles south of NYC and 70 miles east of Philadelphia, it's easy to reach... but it's also hard to leave, with plush on-site accommodations, indoor and outdoor pools, globally-inspired cuisine, and easy access to the town's shops, restaurants, and activities.
