When my husband and I toured Ocean Place last year, we immediately knew this was where we wanted to host our wedding. Nancy was quick to respond to emails, direct with all the answers during the tour, and responsive with a quote and mockup contract within the following week.
Over the next 11 months that we planned our wedding Nancy was 10/10. We were able to talk to her by phone or email, never waited more than a business day for a response, and frequently heard from her with updates unprompted.

Two weeks before the wedding, we had a sit down meeting to go over every single detail with Nancy and no stone was unturned. She was prepared for every twist/turn, steered us in the right direction with any decisions we hadn’t yet made, and never felt like she was just “yes-ing” us she was always 100% honest and we loved that.

Wedding day, Nancy met me in the bridal room around 9 and was with me or my husband throughout the entire day/night. She was the last one who sent us through the door into our ceremony and then again into the reception.

Nancy is the #1 reason we would recommend Ocean Place.

Our cocktail hour was amazing, and our guests haven’t yet stopped talking about how great it was, we’re so glad!

Few complaints (which are very minor but don’t want to not include them): the bars ran out of fruit/garnishes towards the end of the night, as well as ran out of bud light for a while. They did add red stripe and twisted tea which we hadn’t originally planned for, which was nice of them. Lastly and this is our biggest complaint- our room layout was flipped from how we had originally planned for. Our parents were not on our side of the room by the sweetheart table but flipped and near the DJ. Again, all these things are minor in the grand scheme of it all- and our day was still amazing.

Ocean Place was the perfect backdrop for our NJ beach wedding. Sara and Nancy were incredible throughout the planning process. Sara was so great in planning and executing the details of the event - she was instrumental in helping us coordinate with the chef to put together an event menu that was able to accommodate multiple food restrictions - and had everyone complimenting the food all night.

The event staff and our maitre'd were also wonderful to work with the day-of. They made sure everyone was well taken care of - including myself and my new husband! They made sure we were being fed throughout the night.

The venue itself was absolutely beautiful. We held our ceremony on the beach, cocktail hour on the outdoor patio, and reception in the ballroom overlooking the beach. It didn't feel like we were in NJ - it felt like we were at a beach resort in a more tropical location. The photos and event were absolutely beautiful and everyone had an amazing time.

My husband and I recently got married at Ocean Place and couldn’t be happier with our experience. Nancy was our coordinator and helped us out every step of the way from start to finish. We had a lot of random questions throughout the planning process and Nancy was always so quick to respond. She is an absolute boss at her job. We got married on the beach, had our cocktail hour in the ocean front room, and had our reception in the ballroom. Everything went seamlessly and we couldn’t have been happier. Ocean Place was a core place for one of our best memories ever! ❤️
