If you are looking for a non-traditional venue, I highly recommend Porta Asbury Park!!! From the day we took our tour, we knew Porta was the right choice. Karina explained the pricing thoroughly and wasn’t pushy about any extras - didn’t try to upsell us on decor, florals, etc. when we told her we would be DIYing most everything ourselves. Karina’s communication throughout the planning process was excellent - she answered any and all questions we had, assisted with our timeline, gave suggestions when needed, and accommodated any changes we wanted to make (even the last minute ones!!). I spent hours mocking up my decor at home. I shared photos with Karina and she truly made my vision come alive the day of. Everything was set up beautifully!! Besides all of this, the food of course was delicious. Who wants traditional wedding food when you can have pizza, pasta, and cannolis?!?! I am vegan and had some guests who were gluten free, and we were all able to be accommodated with ease. From past experience, vegan and gluten free options at weddings are not always great, but both myself and guests were raving about our meals! Not to mention - any leftovers get packed up and are yours to take home at the end of the night! We had leftovers for days and were able to relive our wedding meal. Overall, I highly recommend using Porta for your wedding if you are looking for good vibes, good food, and a venue that guests will rave about. Thank you Karina and Porta team!!!

Our wedding at Battello was truly the best night of our lives, and we cannot recommend them enough. From the very beginning, Dominique was AMAZING. She was so responsive, transparent, and made the entire planning process incredibly easy and enjoyable. There were absolutely no hidden fees, no stress, and no surprises — just genuine professionalism and care every step of the way. The entire Battello team went above and beyond, but Tammy deserves a special shoutout for being absolutely FANTASTIC on the day of our wedding. She was there for anything and everything we needed, always calm, organized, and ready to help. I can be a bit of a control freak, but their team made me feel so comfortable and confident that I was actually able to fully trust them and truly enjoy every second of the night. And the FOOD — our guests still cannot stop talking about it. We heard over and over again that it was the best wedding food they’ve ever had. Every detail was executed perfectly. To top it all off, our weather forecast looked terrible all week and showed rain for most of the day. Somehow, Dominique worked absolute miracles. When the rain cleared, she and the team quickly arranged tables, chairs, heat lamps, and couches outside so our guests could fully enjoy the beautiful waterfront atmosphere. It was above and beyond anything we expected. Battello truly cares about the experience you and your guests are having, and they go the extra mile in every possible way. If you are considering having your wedding here — GO BOOK IT. You will not regret it.

We used Giorgio's for our rehearsal dinner. They did a great job! The food was delicious and the set up really nice! The night started out with a cocktail hour on their outdoor patio where a bar was set up and hors d'oeuvres served. We then moved inside to the tastefully decorated private room for dinner and speeches. The location had the added benefit of being a short walk from the South Orange train station and convenient to our church, Our Lady of Sorrows.

Liberty House brought the wedding of our dreams to life. We had the absolute night of a lifetime at Liberty House in August '26 and absolutely wouldn't have changed a thing. The venue itself is breathtaking. Our guests couldn't stop raving about the cocktail hour food + entrees. We especially loved working with the phenomenal staff who happily accommodated every request with a smile. We cannot recommend Liberty House enough for your upcoming weddings/events.

I had my wedding a week ago at b2 and I have to say it was the best decision I ever made when picking a location for my wedding .the ceremony, cocktail hour and reception were all in one location. The best selling point to the package was the bridal sweet that's right on the property.1 large room with mirrors and chairs to do hair and makeup a kitchen area with a table and a lounge area with chairs and couches and a large bathroom for all the girls to get ready in . Sam who was our matre D, turned our wedding vision into a reality.she blew our expectations away with how she decorated not only the reception but the whole property very clean cut and elegant was the feed back from every person , everyone loved the way she decorated our wedding. She also made us feel right at how and was there for us every step of the way . The food for the cocktail hour and reception had nothing but excellent feedback from our guests . The short ribs and the skirt steak kabobs with feta and pasta station were a few of the favorites as well as everything else. The wait staff and bartenders also did an amazing job in which everyone had nothing but nice things to say about them . All in all it was an A+++ my best decision I made to create memories that will last a lifetime and I have to thank Sam and B2 for making it all possible..

Choosing Waterside in North Bergen as our wedding venue was truly one of the best decisions we made for our big day. From the moment we first visited, we knew it was something extraordinary — but the actual wedding day exceeded every possible expectation. The venue was absolutely breathtaking, providing a picture-perfect backdrop for our first look and private vows, as well as our photos throughout the wedding. Every single guest commented on how stunning the venue was. The attention to detail in every corner made the entire space feel warm, elegant, and magical. The staff went above and beyond. We were blown away by their kindness, professionalism, and genuine excitement in making our day unforgettable. They were incredibly organized, attentive, flexible, and always one step ahead — we never had to worry about a single thing. Lesley and our Maître d’ Shantal were absolutely phenomenal, and we truly cannot thank them enough for everything they did to make the day perfect from start to finish! The reception was flawless. The food was exceptional, the ambiance was intimate yet lively, and the flow of the entire evening was seamless. We felt incredibly cared for, and everything came together even more beautifully than we imagined. If you're searching for a venue that is not only gorgeous but also run by an amazing team who truly cares, look no further. Waterside gave us the wedding of our dreams, and we will forever be grateful.

We are so happy that we decided on having our wedding at Tim McLoone's Supper Club in Asbury. From day one, the entire event staff were exceptionally helpful and kind. The day of our event they all went above and beyond to be sure everything ran smoothly and that our guests were taken care of. Of course we got special treatment as well and we were very happy! Not only was everything set up the way we requested but the food and drinks were exceptional. We still have guests telling us that they loved the food and how delicious everything was. The drinks were also made great and the entire wait staff made all our guests feel special. We honestly could not have asked for a better day. I wish we could do it over again!

I recently was married at McLoone's Pier House in Long Branch, NJ. The day ran so smoothly, the setting was breath-taking, and the planning process was seamless. Aly and Mercedes were incredibly responsive to all of my questions! They were able to coordinate efficiently with outside vendors including our DJ, pianist, and florist. Nelson, the maitre d of McLoone's, is INCREDIBLE. He is warm and made sure my husband and I were well taken care of the day of our wedding. Lastly, McLoone's is a great value for a large wedding. We were pricing multiple venues in NJ and McLoone's was one of the best deals we found with the most spectacular view. It was so nice to go with an all-inclusive venue where I didn't need to worry about renting linens, tableware, chairs, etc. I HIGHLY recommend McLoone's as a wedding venue!!

We had our wedding at the Avenue and can’t thank Nancy, Chris, and Briana enough for all of the work that they did to help us have the wedding of our dreams! We ended up going with the brunch ceremony and reception on the rooftop lounge. The lounge seating was such a wonderful layout that allowed us to have a more intimate gathering with our guests as opposed to more traditional assigned seating at large dinner tables. As a result, we could more freely move around to talk to our guests, and our guests were able wander around and socialize rather than feeling restricted to remain in assigned seats, which ended up working out very well. Nancy and Chris were both wonderful to work with! They were very responsive and more than helpful with answering any questions that we had throughout the entire process. The morning of the wedding, there was a huge downpour and Nancy did everything she could to try to allow us to keep the ceremony out on the rooftop. Unfortunately, it started raining again right as the ceremony was about to start, and Nancy did a wonderful job making sure that everyone and everything was quickly moved inside and underneath the balcony so that the ceremony could begin. Also, Briana did an amazing job making sure that husband and I had everything that we needed throughout the day and that we were well fed. Since we had selected the brunch ceremony and reception, we ended up not having a tasting, but all of the food turned out amazing, and all of the guests were pleased as well! My husband and I are very happy with our decision to host our wedding at Avenue, and highly recommend it to anyone else!
