The Wave Resort is an oceanfront resort located in Long Branch, New Jersey. Celebrate! Whether you envision your wedding to be an intimate or extravagant celebration, you will find your ideal venue here at Wave Resort that encompasses your dream aesthetic. From barefoot on the beach to lavish receptions, the day is yours. Our flexible, indoor-outdoor floor plans and creative food and beverage presentations will ensure an utterly remarkable event for you and your guests.

At Wave Resort, blue skies, rolling waves, and the Pier Village Boardwalk form the backdrop of the oceanside event you’ve always dreamed of on the Jersey Shore. From intimate celebrations to lavish galas and corporate presentations to memorable family events, our seasoned hospitality team is ready to accommodate all gatherings and occasions on our 7,000 sq. ft indoor-outdoor rooftop, white sand beach, and acclaimed restaurants.

Every wedding at Wave Resort is a unique and memorable occasion inspired by our clients. We provide everything that is needed to create the oceanside wedding you’ve imagined, from a picturesque white sand beach, an unrivaled rooftop event space, acclaimed restaurants and catering, and exceptional hospitality. From your engagement party to your wedding ceremony and reception to your send-off brunch, our passionate private events team is here to make your vision a reality.

High Crest, our 7,000 sq ft indoor-outdoor rooftop with sweeping floor-to-ceiling views of the Atlantic Ocean, is unmatched on the Jersey Shore. The indoor space may be transformed into separate lounge, dining, and dance areas or used as a continuous open loft-like floor plan. The outdoor patio makes for gorgeous ceremonies and cocktail receptions. Our highly experienced service team will execute every detail beautifully.

For more intimate rehearsal dinners and wedding brunches, choose from MAYA, our Mediterranean fine dining experience, or Branch Cantina, our casual beachside Cantina serving all the Mexican classics and handcrafted margaritas you crave at the beach.

And for the after-party, we’ll bring the Boardwalk to you with a fun and festive food station and cocktails to match. If prohibition-era Jersey Shore is more your style, consider an elegant Cocktail Cart featuring the spirit and cocktail of your choice. Tell us about your vision – we’ll help plan every detail, from welcome cocktails to the very last dance.

As the perfect backdrop for memorable New Jersey beach weddings, offer your guests full accommodations at Wave Resort, where each guest room includes a walkout terrace, deluxe terry robes, bath amenities, and a Nespresso machine. Here, guests can also be pampered at the Spa while relaxing with a glass of champagne. In the heart of Pier Village along the Long Branch boardwalk, you’re near everything you could want, including the sandy beach, dining, shopping, the Carousel, and more.

Your grand celebration at the Jersey Shore awaits! Contact us today to schedule a viewing with one of our passionate event team members!

Best wedding ever

Wave is the best place to get married! From the beginning, the staff was so incredibly helpful in getting our special day exactly how we pictured it. We had our wedding on a Sunday afternoon, which made the views of the ocean even more incredible. Allison, Mark, and every single staff member at Wave truly were incredible. We couldn't have asked for anything more, and will be recommending Wave to everyone as long as we live!! Thank you all soooo much!!!
