Words can't express how grateful we are that we chose Windows on the Water for our wedding venue. We went into wedding planning knowing that we wanted a beach wedding and for our venue to feel like a destination without having to travel: windows on the water surpassed our every expectation of our dream wedding vision.

The staff was beyond incredible. During our first meeting with Tracy, her organization and calm demeanor made our decision so easy. She was not only friendly and informative but also she guided us to make the best decisions in regards to our food packages, and other add ons that we needed/didn't. She was honest with things that were a waste to add on and what was necessary. She was so responsive to our emails and was there for our every need along the planning process. We can honestly say we had no issues and we have the entire staff to thank for this. Our attendants, captains, and maitre d were outstanding. The maitre d not only was with us every second of the day, but she completely ran the show by organizing the ceremony lineup and waited for us with our signature drinks immediately following the ceremony. She even went above and beyond and bustled my dress for me! We can't thank the venue enough for making our own table of food for just the bride and groom's private time before cocktail hour and for running on a direct and organized schedule. We never needed to wait in line for a drink, some food, etc. They gave us one plate of each dinner item so that we could try all meal choices ! They also gathered up all of our belongings for us at the end of the night into one room for a smooth transition among the chaos of 160+ people leaving all at once.

This was our first venue in our search and no other venue held up to our feeling we had here. The ceremony spot feels like its out of a movie and the reception hall is so classy and elegant still keeping a beachy feel, as you have full view of the water and sunset and indoor outdoor space for guests to enjoy the night. Aside from the atmosphere, the food was impeccable. I want to go to another wedding here just to go back and enjoy all of the food. The amount of food was above and beyond and there was so much that we didn't even try it all. The quality was well above most wedding venues in my opinion. All of our guests said that it was the best wedding food they'd ever had.

You will not be mistaken by getting married here and we will never forget our special day at Windows on the Water!

I just had my wedding here on 8/2/24 and cannot get over how absolutely perfect it was. Mike, Cheryl and the staff went above and beyond our day absolutely unforgettable!

Mike, your attention to detail and dedication from day one were beyond amazing. From our first meeting with you at the venue to the final moments of our wedding day, your support and guidance were invaluable. The venue looked stunning—everything was exactly how we envisioned it, and even better! You were so patient with all our questions and requests, and we had such a blast during our meetings getting to know you! We were always looking forward to our meetings with you because you were so friendly, and made us so excited and happy during the whole process. We wanted to recognize and let you know how much we appreciate your calming presence and ability to make us laugh during the stressful parts of wedding planning, it really made all the difference and we’re so happy we got to work with you!! We can’t thank you enough for making our dream wedding come to life.

Cheryl, you were an absolute rockstar on the day of and leading up to the wedding. Your seamless coordination made everything run so smoothly, allowing us to enjoy every moment without a single worry. Your calm presence and unbelievable organizational skills kept everything on track. It felt like you were somehow everywhere at once, either at our sides providing whatever we needed and making sure everything was perfect for us, or sewing a bridesmaids dress (who was VERY thankful for that and was sure to let us know how amazing you are). We’re sure there so many more things you handled behind the scenes that we don’t even know about, and we’re truly in awe of how exceptional you are. We’ve heard incredible things from previous couples about you, but it was truly incredible to see first hand how phenomenal you are, and you exceeded all expectations. Guests couldn't stop raving about how perfectly timed everything was and how friendly and attentive the staff were.

People are still calling us about how amazing the food was, how beautiful the setup looked, and how every single detail was perfect. We’ve had numerous friends and family members tell us it was the best wedding they’ve ever attended. They were completely obsessed with the entire experience—from the gorgeous decorations to the impeccable service, everything exceeded their expectations.

The atmosphere you both helped create was warm, inviting, and so much fun. We loved seeing everyone out on the dance floor, having the time of their lives. The way you managed to blend elegance with a relaxed vibe was just incredible. You both made sure that not only we, but all our guests, had an amazing time.

We can’t thank you enough for all your hard work and dedication. You both went above and beyond to make our wedding day perfect, and we will forever be grateful. We’ll be screaming your praises to anyone who will listen and recommending your venue to everyone we know.

Your team is simply the best! Thank you again for everything. Our wedding day was truly a dream come true, and so much of that is thanks to you both, and we will look back on our day and remember how happy we were to have you both by our side!!!!

I can't begin to express how thrilled my husband and I were with our wedding at Windows. Due to our desire to maximize the dance floor with a large band and approximately 215 guests, Mike and Cheryl worked tirelessly to shift the floorplan from their typical layout to ensure that we were comfortable. Our guests raved about the food, service, views, and overall experience. Mike and Cheryl responded promptly to our emails throughout the process and made us feel comfortable making specific requests. They were true partners to us, and we appreciated their attention to detail. Although it was quite windy, the day was perfect, felt authentic to us, and was a blast! If you're looking for an elegant venue highlighting the Jersey shore that doesn't feel like a stuffy ballroom, I would wholeheartedly recommend this venue.
