Greate Bay Country Club was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. Their communication style was organized, thorough, and professional throughout the entire planning process. The quality of their work and overall value was exceptional - the venue was clean, beautiful, and incredibly well-kept. On our special day, the venue looked absolutely gorgeous, and the staff, led by the amazing Danielle, were 5 steps ahead of us the entire time, keeping us on track. The day after the wedding, the venue staff had already organized all of our belongings together, making it super easy for us to pick everything up. And our guests raved about the delicious food!

Megan, the director, is an absolutely dream to work with. quick responses, explains everything clearly, a sweetheart. Hotel is super clean, the food is amazing and the staff were lovely. The Maitre De went missing a lot throughout the day, to the point where my uncle had to find her whenever i needed. They set up & cleaned everything up for us which was lovely. the hotel bar stayed open late (sunday wedding) but you couldn’t make it private. so you had people at the bar trying to add to an open tab. you get a room block, the director of rooms Rebecca is very easy to work with as well. the outdoor ceremony space is gorgeous!!!

It's taken me a couple months to write this review since getting married at Park Loft in May because I just haven't felt I had the words to adequately express how perfect this venue and their entire team was. Our wedding day exceeded even our own expectations and was absolutely flawless. I expected a little hiccup somewhere along the way, but there were none. The entire team we worked with were true professionals and had the whole process down to a tee. Our director, Allie, was beyond organized and accommodating, helping us throughout the entire planning process. Chef Thomas is incredible and so invested in ensuring all the food was delicious. Everyone who attended went out of their way to tell us it was the best food they have ever had at a wedding. If you are considering booking with Park Loft, all I can say is DO IT!! You will not regret it and you and all your guests will be blown away by the all around perfection of Park Loft.

The food was outstanding, and we received so many compliments from our guests. And the cocktail hour… unbelievable.

We got married at Edgewater in October 2023 and it was truly a dream. The venue is absolutely gorgeous and very reasonably priced. The staff is phenomenal! Christina and Sal were incredibly helpful, knowledgeable, professional, and put our minds at ease. I can easily say they were the reason we were stress free. Emily and Alanna made sure we were their number one priority that day. They were constantly checking in on us, giving us whatever we needed. They knew what we needed/wanted before we even did. Our parents raved about the staff checking on them as well. Every little detail was perfect because of the staff. The food was so delicious, thanks to chef Jay. Every single one of our guests came up to us to rave about the beauty of the venue, the food, the staff, and the bartenders. The bartenders were awesome and quickly learned everyone’s order, having the drinks ready for them when they got to the bar. It was the best day of our lives and we couldn’t have picked a better venue with a better staff, because there simply isn’t one. Thank you Edgewater for being the perfect beach venue!!

Why Choose New Jersey for Your Wedding Day?

September tops the charts for wedding inquiries here, so you'll want to plan ahead if you're eyeing a date during peak season. The varied landscapes mean you can find everything from waterfront elegance to historic charm without traveling far.

What Types of Wedding Venues Can You Find in New Jersey?

The venue scene in New Jersey covers just about every style imaginable.
