The best day of our lives! 04.11.26!

We just recently had our wedding and rehearsal dinner at the Breakers and from the planning, to the food, to the hotel, to the ball room, to the hospitality every little thing was absolutely perfect! I never had to worry about a single thing Shannon and Sandy took my vision and turned the entire weekend into my dream wedding weekend! I can’t possibly thank them and the entire staff enough for making the most important day of our lives so loving and special! We had 200 guests and every single one of them said our wedding was the best wedding they’ve been to in a long time! If you or someone you love is getting married the Breakers in the only place I would trust with yours or their special day!!

Dream Wedding!!

I honestly do not have the words to express how amazing our wedding was at The Breakers,
From the staff, food, service, EVERYTHING was perfect. They did absolutely an exceptional job. My husband and I couldn’t have asked for a more perfect day. Sandy, Sandra and Shannon were amazing and made our day beautiful. You will not be disappointed with this beautiful venue

Amazing experience!

We had an amazing experience with having our wedding at the Breakers. They were so helpful and eager to help us make it the perfect day! Sandy was our wedding coordinator and was very understanding and helped me plan basically the entire event. We received so many compliments about the cocktail hour on the front porch and how delicious the food was. We can’t wait to go back and reminisce over dinner!

Kris and Tina wedding 7/25/25

Everything was wonderful from beginning to end, starting with our first planning appointment with Sandy in Feb 2024 to our wedding on 7/25/25. Sandy, Claudia and Michelle were absolutely wonderful the day of our wedding, keeping everything moving along and making sure we were taken care of as well. The food and drinks were excellent as well!

The Five Star Breakers Review

Our experience working with The Breakers was nothing short of amazing. Their honestly is not an adjective out there to use to describe how great it truly was. And of course the day itself did not disappoint either. The resort/venue staff, the service staff, the maitre d, the servers/bartenders, the family owners were awesome, and to save the best for the last, our coordinator Gina, was without a doubt the best part of our amazing experience. From day one, all the way to the wedding day, Gina made our wedding so special and truly a dream come true. We would recommend having your wedding (or any event) at The Breakers. They are truly so amazing and we are so blessed and fortunate that we chose them to help us host our wedding reception. - Carolyn and Logan Carroll - 5/17/25

Beautiful Reception at The Breakers on the Ocean!

I had my wedding reception at The Breakers two weeks ago, and I cannot say enough amazing things about this venue. Sandy was our coordinator, and she was such a pleasure to work with. She went above and beyond to make sure that all of our requests were met. She was truly there for us every step of the way, answering all of our questions promptly and scheduling meetings with us to touch base and discuss any updates prior to our wedding day. Our maitre d, Michele, was absolutely incredible - the service surpassed our expectations. Additionally, you cannot beat the location of this venue - right on the beach in the gorgeous town of Spring Lake, NJ. Our cocktail hour was on the Ocean Terrace and our guests couldn't stop raving about it. The Crystal ballroom is beautiful and was a great space for our wedding of 150 people. The morning after our wedding we did a breakfast which was also a wonderful experience. I highly recommend this venue!!

Simply the BEST

Our wedding at The Breakers was beyond all of our expectations. Not only did myself and my husband think everything was PERFECT, our guests did too. Everyone raved about the amazing food, the delicious deserts, and how great the bartenders and servers were. Our coordinator, Shannon, was accommodating, easy to work with, gave wonderful suggestions and made everything top notch. Our maître d', Michelle, is simply phenomenal at her job. She made sure the entire day ran smoothly and she did so with such ease and professionalism. Our personal server, Claudia, was attentive, detail oriented and so very kind. The Breakers went above and beyond for us on our special day and we are so grateful we chose such an amazing place to have our wedding. We had the absolute most idyllic wedding day thanks to everyone at The Breakers.

If you're looking for a wedding venue that is truly magical, look no further than The Breakers on the Ocean.

If you're looking for a wedding venue that is truly magical, look no further than The Breakers on the Ocean. From the moment we stepped foot on the property, we knew it was the perfect place to celebrate our love. The owners of this boutique venue have created something that is absolutely stunning and intimate with beachfront charm and modern grace all within a picture perfect setting in Spring Lake.

The entire staff are truly exceptional, from the front desk, to the restaurant (Anna & Pepe Chewy) for our many out of town guests, our Welcome Party hostess in the Regency Room (Sandy) and of course the entire wedding crew (Claudia, Sandy, Michelle and all of our servers). They all went above and beyond to make sure our pre-wedding festivities and wedding day were everything we ever dreamed of. We have to give a special shout out to Shannon DiBenedetto, the director of sales who was an absolute lifesaver. She helped us with every detail (beginning to end), from planning the ceremony, suggesting vendors, coordinating the Welcome Party, cocktail hour and reception, and choosing the perfect menu. She was always available to answer our questions and offer her valuable expertise. By the time of our wedding day, we felt like Shannon was a member of our family.

Our guests are still talking about the amazing time they had, the delicious and plentiful food, the incredible views (we had a cotton candy sunset during our cocktail hour on the terrace!), and how wonderful the staff was.

We are so grateful to everyone at The Breakers for making our fairy tale wedding come to life. It was truly magical from the beginning to the end. Most couples told us their wedding day flashed before their eyes. For us, we were totally immersed, living in every moment, all made possible by our new family at Breakers. Thank you.

The Breakers on the Ocean- The Leontes

My husband and I cannot express how much we loved our experience at The Breakers on the Ocean in Spring Lake, NJ. We worked closely with Sandy and I could not imagine it any other way. Sandy is very hands on and wants to make your day perfect. She is there for any questions and makes herself available to help bring your vision to life. We were able to drop off decor in advance and the staff took care of everything start to finish. The next day we were able to pick up all our belongings.

The venue style allowed for us to feel intimate and at home while accommodating our 140 guests easily. The food and service was wonderful. We went "jersey shore" from our "sexy" truffle fries and sliders in cocktail hour to a pork roll egg and cheese as late night snack. Having ocean views from the porch, the beautiful parks and charming atmosphere in the surroundings area of Spring Lake is what makes Breakers so unique. We are reliving our favorite day over and over in our photos.
