Alexandra Sent on 10/24/2024Perfect Beach Wedding
Windows on the Water was the perfect wedding venue for an elegant beach wedding. The views of both the ocean and river are absolutely gorgeous. We toured several venues on the beach along the Jersey Shore and none of them came close to WOW. The ceremony spot on the beach couldn’t be better with a beautiful view of the ocean and platform down so that you’re not sitting/standing in the sand. Also since it is a private beach club, there is no one else on the beach during the ceremony. The cocktail hour and reception space are so beautiful and clean (no carpet which gave it a more modern and elegant vibe) and we loved the outdoor deck space for some fresh air while still being steps away from the dance floor.
Mike and Cheryl were amazing to work with and made the planning process so easy and stress free. They are so friendly, professional and were responsive to all of our questions throughout the planning process. Both Mike and Cheryl, along with the rest of the staff at WOW truly went above and beyond to make our wedding day perfect! Cheryl and Harley took care of us all night and made sure every need was met and that we always had a drink in our hand.
We were so impressed with the food options, particularly for the cocktail hour, and loved how flexible Mike and the WOW team were in allowing us to customize our wedding day menu. We were a little nervous since you don’t get a tasting but all of the food was amazing!! In particular our guests raved about the raw bar at cocktail hour, the filet mignon at dinner, and the pork roll egg and cheese sandwiches at the end of the night.
They also offer a 15-minute private cocktail hour for the bride and groom after the ceremony with a bottle of champagne as well all of the cocktail hour food in the private bridal suite which overlooks the beach and ocean. My husband and I really enjoyed this as it gave us the chance for a quiet moment together to soak in excitement of our wedding day, and we actually got a chance to eat before we greeted all of our guests who were enjoying cocktail hour overlooking the beach.
I can not recommend WOW enough and hope we get to go back as guests one day!

From the location, to the service, to the food, this venue is the best! From day one, Mike makes you feel at home. Then to day of your wedding, Cheryl and her team make your dream wedding come to life. Cheryl and Harley stay by your side throughout the whole day/ night making sure you and even the wedding party have everything they need. Not only is the service the incredible, but the food is amazing! Our guests only had amazing things to say about the venue and we couldn't agree more. If you want a wedding where you don't want to worry about anything day of, Windows on the Water is perfect, and what's not to love about getting married on the beach! -

Taylor Sent on 10/28/2025The perfect Jersey Shore wedding venue, Rain or Shine!!!
We had our wedding at Windows on the Water in October 2025, and it was absolutely perfect. It’s the ideal jersey shore beach wedding venue, we booked it immediately after our first visit! The team worked very closely with us throughout the planning process and was incredibly helpful every step of the way.
The day of the wedding, disaster struck. A Nor’easter rolled through. Our dream beach wedding seemed like it was about to fall apart. However, the entire Windows on the Water staff went above and beyond to save the day. Their team drove through flooded roads and transformed the indoor space into something truly magical. They lined the aisle and patio room with candles, leaning into the dark and stormy vibe beautifully.
Our maitre d’, Cheryl, and her assistant Harley, stayed in close contact with local police about road closures for the trolleys and kept everyone calm amidst the chaos. Despite the storm, they turned what could have been a disaster into a perfect, unforgettable celebration. Harley even sewed my grandmother's shoe back together!
Even though it wasn't the beach day we imagined, it was perfect in every way that mattered. We are beyond grateful for their hard work, creativity, and dedication. If you have any doubts about booking this venue, let this be the review that removes them. Even on one of the worst weather days imaginable (every beach bride’s nightmare) Windows on the Water proved to be an exceptional, beautiful venue with a staff that will truly bend over backwards to make your day perfect. -

Danielle Sent on 10/09/2025The best venue!
I got married at Windows on the Water in September 2025 and could not have asked for a better wedding day. First, the venue is absolutely stunning. From the ceremony outside, cocktail hour, reception and the deck, every room was breathtaking. If you do choose this venue, just keep in mind that you will be gambling with the weather. My day was predicted rain which completely bummed me out, but it ended up clearing up just in time for the ceremony and we had a beautiful sunset that the guests were able to enjoy on the deck and on the beach. However, because of the location, the venue typically has great weather and very rarely has to move the wedding inside. Second, the staff was incredible. Mike and Cheryl were a DREAM to work with. They truly cared about us and our vision. They made everything so smooth and effortless. I always came with a bunch of questions and they were always answered with a smile! I could not have asked for better people to work with. Cheryl was very on top of everything so the day ran so smoothly. The staff was incredible too - always made sure drinks were on the table and everyone was taken care of. Everyone was extremely attentive. Last, the venue offers a lot of decor. They have centerpieces, easels, Mr and Mrs signs, amongst several other things so you don’t have to get your own if you don’t want to. The venue is fairly priced for the amount of stuff that they offer in their packages. The food was amazing and I received so many compliments on how amazing cocktail hour was and how great dinner was. I would choose this venue over and over again. If you are looking for a beach wedding, this is your place. Some pictures make it seem like we were in Aruba. They do have an indoor option in case of inclement weather, but I know we all book with the intent of having an outdoor wedding. You cannot beat the scenery at this venue. Do not hesitate to book this venue, we definitely did not! We booked 2 years in advance and can’t believe how fast it came and went! Thanks again W.O.W.! -

We got married here on Aug. 15, 2025 and everything was beyond our wildest dreams! The venue was gorgeous, the food was fantastic (cocktail hour especially!), and the service was great! From Mike helping us prepare for the big day, to Cheryl getting it done night of- everything went so smoothly and we had the best time ever! Windows did a great job with the flow of the evening. We never felt rushed and got to enjoy every moment! Cheryl and staff set up all our decor and packed it all up for us to grab the following day. It was a dream come true and we highly recommend the venue! We look forward to coming back on our anniversary to celebrate with cake! -

I got married here last weekend and it was the most amazing day ever! Guests could not stop complimenting the venue, from the views to the staff to the food, everything was top notch. Our bridal attendant, Harley, was absolutely incredible. She was so helpful and took away any stress I had that day. Mike and Cheryl were amazing too! They made sure everything ran smoothly, and if something went wrong they took care of it behind the scenes. I could not have asked for a better wedding venue! -

Christine Sent on 08/15/2025The Perfect Romantic Beachfront Wedding
My husband, Ryan, and I had our wedding at Windows on the Water this June, and it was truly magical, everything we had ever dreamed of, and more. We’ve always loved the water, so we toured several venues with waterfront views. The moment we walked into Windows on the Water, it was breathtaking! We knew instantly this was where we wanted to say “I do.”
When we booked WoW, Ryan’s health was uncertain. He had been diagnosed with cancer just months earlier. We held onto the hope of creating the dream wedding we envisioned, even though at times it felt like an unattainable goal. Thankfully, Ryan responded quickly to treatment, his health improved dramatically, and we continued planning.
From the very start, Mike H. was nothing short of amazing. We shared our story, and his support and genuine care went far beyond a business transaction. He understood our journey, and his check-ins throughout the months leading up to the wedding made us feel special and hopeful that our dream would become a reality.
Prior to the big day, Cheryl was a lifesaver, patiently answering all my questions and guiding us through the details . On our wedding day, Cheryl managed everything with such professionalism and care that all we had to do was enjoy the moment. It was a heatwave that day, but the staff went above and beyond, attending to our every need and even making sure we stayed hydrated!
Every detail was perfect from how they arranged our decor to planning everything. We’ve heard countless compliments from our guests, about the delicious food, the stunning views, and how it was the best wedding they had ever attended. Even months later, people are still raving about it!
We feel incredibly grateful, not only that Ryan’s health improved, but that we were able to live our dream day surrounded by our friends and family. Our wedding will forever be the most wonderful and meaningful day of our lives, and we owe so much of that to Mike, Cheryl, and the entire WoW team.
If you want to get married somewhere with a gorgeous view, with incredible food and the most attentive staff then run, don’t walk, to Windows on the Water! -

Keara Sent on 06/11/2025Best venue!!
Our best wedding advice we would give is say YES to this venue. From the moment I stepped in the venue I knew this was the one. The beach vibes it gives off are incredible. The upstairs ballroom is elegant and beautiful and the outside was my dream! The balcony had amazing beach views and the cocktail hour on the beach was exactly what I wanted.
Mike had been there withus since the beginning. From viewing the venue 3 years ago to booking it one year ago he kept in contact with us through it all. He was very reliable and responsive and has us feel very comfortable with all our decisions. I cannot say enough great things about our maitre de, Cheryl. She got in contact with me a few weeks before the wedding and made as many changes to the floor plan as we needed. She made sure parents, grandparents and god parents all had the perfect seats and didn’t stop till we were happy with it! Her assistant, Harley, might as well have been a bridesmaid she was that great! She had everything I needed and even sewed my dress to me! When we got rained on she came in with a hair dryer. Everyone At windows on the water made our day feel so relaxed and perfect!
If you’re looking for the perfect beach view this is the one! Stunning, elegant, and beachy it was everything we could have dreamed of!

Windows on the Water made our wedding day so special. From start to finish, the entire experience was beyond anything we could have hoped for.
Mike was incredibly helpful and responsive throughout the planning process—his guidance made everything feel smooth and stress-free. On the day of, Cheryl was truly amazing: she was on top of every detail and made sure we were cared for and checked in all night, which meant the world to us. And the entire staff was warm, professional, and so attentive to our guests—we received so many compliments about how well everyone was taken care of.
Of course, we can’t forget to mention the venue itself—it was absolutely stunning and made the perfect backdrop for such a meaningful day. Everything looked beautiful and felt just right.
Our special days was such an unforgettable celebration. We’re so grateful!!! -

Bernadette Sent on 05/06/2025Beyond our Hopes, Dreams and Expectations!
We run events for a living—and we’d fire ourselves if we had the chance to work with Mike, Cheryl, and the staff at Windows on the Water.
Windows on the Water is a phenomenal venue with a stunning Atlantic Ocean backdrop and newly renovated party spaces. But you don’t book this Sea Bright gem just for the views—you book it for the people, especially Director of Sales Mike Hernandez and Maître D’ Cheryl Yatsko!
From day one, Mike was like that guy you meet at a neighborhood block party and end up talking to all night—genuine, energized, and approachable. His title should really be “Director of Relationships” because there’s nothing remotely “salesy” about him. He took such joy in our joy, and we’ll forever be grateful for his energy, professionalism, and sincerity.
Although we met Cheryl closer to the wedding, she was just as meaningful and influential to our day’s success. Like a wise sister, she gently guided us through logistics and key decisions using her endless knowledge and experience, never pressuring, always supporting. We’ve always believed in the idea of letting experts do their job, and with Cheryl, that trust paid off tenfold. From dropping off our décor on Friday to walking out after the last dance, we felt completely taken care of.
Every time we look at a photo, hear one of our songs, or drive through Sea Bright, we’ll think of Mike, Cheryl, and the Windows on the Water team—with a smile—because they’re forever part of our story. -

Christina Sent on 10/15/2024The most perfect day!
We are still in awe from our wedding day! Since the day we went to look at Windows on the Water we knew we were in good hands. Wedding planning can be stressful but I never felt that because of the amazing team behind the scenes. Everything was organized at each meeting. Details were clear and any time I had any questions the reply time was so fast. Our day was perfect! Mike and his team were so accommodating to me and my husband. There was never a time I felt unsure on what was next or what to do. The food was delicious, the table settings were beautiful and all around a fabulous night had by all. I am still getting messages about what a great night it was! I highly recommend hosting your event or wedding at WOW. Not only are you on a beautiful property but you are surrounded by true professionals who truly want to make your night the most memorable. I wish I could go back and replay the night!! -

The best day of our lives!
Wow, we are still speechless almost two weeks post our wedding. We got married at WoW on Sep 21st and the day was nothing short of perfect. From Mike, Cheryl and their entire team of incredible people, they truly operated like a well oiled machine.
They were with us every step of the way throughout the planning process and always made us feel at ease. Always available to answer any questions we had and truly made us so excited from the day we chose the venue.
While the beautiful weather added to the most amazing day, our guests cannot stop talking about how incredible everything was. From the venue itself which is absolutely breathtaking, the endless amount of delicious food and constant flow of drinks(!), they tell us they will never forget our wedding day.
I can’t thank Mike, Cheryl and their entire team enough for the genuine care, thought and planning that went into our special day.
If you’re looking for a gorgeous beach venue with incredible views, food and amazing staff, WoW is the place!
Thank you all for everything!!!! -

Lorraine Sent on 07/22/2024A perfect, stress free wedding!
From the moment we stepped foot into Windows on the Water, any wedding stress we had was immediately alleviated. Our initial wedding venue cancelled on us two months before our wedding date, and we were lucky that WoW had availability at the last minute. We were immediately put at ease by Mike and Cheryl's professional and warm demeanor. Mike was very friendly and outgoing, and responsive to any questions we had along the way. Despite the fact that WoW is a well oiled machine that could make a venue feel impersonal and cold, the staff were so warm and welcoming that they made us and our guests feel so welcome and looked after. Special shout out to Harley and Patience - our family members could not stop raving about how great they were and how invested they seemed in my family's enjoyment of the wedding. The staff's attention to detail and personalization were unmatched - they even packed up some of the special desserts that I had randomly asked about from our Viennese table at the end of the night. And of course, Cheryl. She is a BOSS. No detail was left unattended to, from a towel to wipe the water from the bouquet out the vase before pictures, to asking the staff to move our officiant forward a few feet under the gazebo so that she would be visible to the photographer, to subtly taking my bouquet from me after our entrance before our first dance, to even serving our wedding cake herself at the end of the night - she kept the whole wedding party and day on track and the whole night running smoothly. My friends and I might've offered her a job because we were so blown away by her organization. WoW made our wedding perfect and stress free! -

Between menu, pricing, staff, views, and execution, BOOK HERE! Mike & Cheryl were amazing and I had the least stressful wedding day I could’ve asked for. They handled literally everything, including a last-minute need for Kosher meals, and making sure we were fed and hydrated. They even let us use their private beach the next day when our beach plans fell through. Our guests raved about the food, dessert, attentiveness of the staff, and overall experience. You will not regret having your wedding or event here!! -

Carla Sent on 06/12/2024Highly Recommend Windows on the Water 🌟
From the moment my Husband and I Gene stepped through the doors of Windows on the Water our experience was magical! We were given a tour of the outdoor beach gazebo where our ceremony would take place, the main level area where cocktails take place and finally the upstairs main reception room and rooftop bar area and were so impressed with this beautiful venue. The Venue Director of Sales, Tracy made us feel right at home, provided a clear quote and our decision was a fast easy one. Tracy retired about 4 mos. before our wedding, and the transition to the new team Mike and Cheryl was seamless. We felt so taken care of by Cheryl, Mike and the staff on our wedding day, we felt completely at ease and the experience was one we’ll never forget. If you’re looking for an amazing beachfront wedding venue, look no further than Windows on the Water, we loved the venue, the staff and the experience, highly recommend! -

I can't even believe it's been a week since my wedding at Windows on the Water! I had the best time ever, and I wish I could do it all over again. If you want a venue that is right on the beach, has the perfect mixture of beachy flair meets elegant ballroom, and has good food, this is the place for you. My husband and I booked here very quickly after touring because we fell in love with the atmosphere. You'll be in great hands with Mike and Cheryl. There was never a moment I felt stressed or worried leading up to and on the big day. They answered all of my questions leading up and helped make the day run so smoothly on the actual wedding day.

What really made our day exceptional was the staff. They were welcoming and attentive to everyone’s needs, and made the transitions from one space to the next and from one part of the event to the next seamless. Our decorations were staged perfectly and at the end of the night, all of our personal items and decorations were carefully packed up to take with us. It was pretty impressive how quickly they got things done. Tracy did an excellent job of coordinating every detail prior to our big day, and she was willing and able to answer all of our questions.

I will recommend Windows on the Water in Sea Bright to everyone I know that wants a beach front wedding. Tracy and Cheryl were my two points of contact. They both knew the ins and out of the place.

Stunning venue, incredible staff, magical day!
Where to begin. I have Traci to thank for making my day so easy and magical from day 1. She is an expert at all things wedding day, and helped my mom (a first time mother of the bride) and mother in law (a professional event/wedding planner) navigate every step of the process. She was open to meeting us multiple times (especially my mom) and had wonderful clear communication and thoughtful questions for us. Everything was so easy leading up to the day!
On our actual day the staff absolutely blew me away. Cheryl and Casey were so unbelievably attentive to us and our guests that I feel like I rode through the whole day on a magic carpet. I had guests thanking me for having everything so well organized, where in reality it was all the staff who were making things smooth!
The staff is incredibly well equipped to work with multiple vendors and have great relationships with so many local businesses that it made coordinating everyone incredibly easy.
Food was fabulous, drinks were delicious and the venue itself is breathtaking!!!!!! Book this for the beach wedding of your dreamsWindows On The Water's reply:

I had my wedding at Windows on the Water last September and it was an absolutely incredible experience. I originally wanted a destination beach wedding but I have a lot of family in NJ - Windows on the Water was the best of both worlds. All of my out of state guests were surprised that this even was NJ. Tracy and the rest of the staff were so amazing throughout the entire wedding planning process as well as on the day of the event. Windows on the Water has tons of things available to use which was also super helpful (table numbers, candles, lanterns, beach decor, and more). There was so much food and I received a ton of compliments on how delicious it all was. My guests had a great time hanging out on the deck at night with the fire pits - we also set up some corn hole which ended up being really fun. If you want to get married on the beach then this is definitely the venue for you!!Windows On The Water's reply:

We had the absolute wedding of our dreams at Windows on the Water in September. We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect day! This venue runs like a well-oiled machine when it comes to event planning and execution. Every detail was handled professionally and to our specific requests. The food was top notch, and the staff makes sure that the newlyweds have time alone in the bridal suite to enjoy samples of everything from cocktail hour. We got many compliments on the venue and food and a lot of people told us it was the best wedding they’d ever been to, including those of their own children. :) Tracy and Cheryl were 100000% on top of everything and went above and beyond to make sure we had the wedding of our dreams. Kacy was awesome and attentive, and made sure we always had fresh drinks in our hands! The only issue we had was that when we got there we were told the lanterns for our reception tables weren’t included in our contract—which they were and was later verified—so they were dirty and covered in wax, and our florist and her assistant wound up cleaning them and trying to cover them with greenery. -

Best day of my life
Windows on the water was the most beautiful venue I have ever been too. The first moment I walked in I knew it was going to be my wedding venue. Tracy and Cheryl were both such a pleasure to work with and went above and beyond to make sure I had the most perfect wedding day. The ambiance was absolutely gorgeous. From the cocktail hour room with big open windows, to the main reception room with a gorgeous rooftop with fire pits and all tile floor was just absolutely breaktaking. The food was absolutely phenomenal and every one of my guest said they can truly say the food was just amazing and that my wedding was one of the best they have ever been to. I would highly recommend windows on the water if you love the beach and want a gorgeous wedding. When I got married last weekend, it was windy out but that didn’t stop us from having our ceremony outside by the gorgeous gazebo on the sand. If you want the most perfect wedding ever then book your wedding at windows on the water in sea bright! You won’t be dissapointed -

First things first, the venue is PERFECTION. The views, the cocktail hour space, the decor, and the ballroom are all stunning.

Amazing and absolutely beautiful!
My husband and I had our wedding here in June, and I could not be any happier with the entire experience. From our first visit, Tracy was so pleasant to work with and was extremely patient and kind throughout the entire planning process. There are no words for how beautiful this venue is - it truly was the beach wedding I always imagined. From the ceremony under the gazebo on the beach to the cocktail hour room to the reception room - everything was absolutely perfect. My guests kept saying it truly felt like an island destination wedding from how beautiful the beach was. The food was also incredible, and we were able to enjoy everything in the bridal suite as they provided a private cocktail hour for my husband and me. Cheryl and the entire staff the day of were so attentive and really helped make sure everything stayed on track and came together. It truly was the most perfect day and I would 100% recommend this venue to anyone!

Windows on the water at surf rider beach club is the best venue to pick! From day one Tracy was the best with any questions we had to making our wedding day happen she really handled it perfectly! The day of our wedding it poured (my luck of course!) but the way Cheryl had every room decorated I completely forgot it rained. Cheryl and Tracy made our day so beautiful and so pain free with no issues! There is nothing more I could say besides how amazing the entire staff is at windows and the venue itself! They truly make you feel like a king and queen! Any future events I would definitely Return back to windows as it was so so beautiful.Windows On The Water's reply:

Amazing wedding even during a Nor’Easter
My wife and I got married at Windows on the Water this past October and could not have been happier. Even though a Nor’easter rolled though that evening, the night went off without a hitch. The staff was absolutely amazing and so friendly. Our guests could not stop talking about cool ocean backdrop and amazing food. Tracy was a pleasure to work with during our planning process and Cheryl helped make what could’ve been a stressful night for two brides, very fun and easy.Windows On The Water's reply:
Thank you Tara & Amanda for the wonderful review. We truly enjoyed work with you to make your wedding day memorable for you and your guests. -

Best Day Ever.
If you want a true Jersey Shore beach wedding, this is the venue for you! There really is no other place like this to get married. It truly looks and feels like a destination island wedding! We toured Windows in 2019 and booked immediately after. Unfortunately, due to COVID-19, our wedding was postponed a year. Windows was extremely accommodating, giving us multiple options to postpone, have a micro wedding or even cancel if we wanted to. We decided to postpone a year, which was a great decision. We got married October 2021 and luckily had perfect weather. Even though you don’t get to do a tasting, the food is incredible, specifically cocktail hour. I would 100% recommend getting the hand rolled sushi station. It was the biggest hit at our wedding. We also did a goodbye station of taylor ham egg and cheese sandwiches, which were fantastic. We had the imperial topaz package and the dessert spread was just insane. We also loved the private 15 minute cocktail hour that my husband and I got to enjoy in the bridal suite. The staff was also extremely helpful. We worked with Tracy up until the wedding and then Cheryl was our maître d’ and Diamond was our bridal attendant. They provided guidance and anything that we needed day of the wedding. The whole day went smoothly because of them. You do not need a Day of Wedding planner at this venue. One thing though is that the suggested maître d’ fee/tip is not suggested, it’s required and it’s 3% of your total. That was the only thing that we were surprised about, but it was worth it since the Maître d’ and bridal attendant were incredible. Our family and friends are still talking about our wedding! -

Words can’t describe how amazing our wedding was! Tracy and I go way back, we were suppose to get married on 6.27.2020 but had to postpone due to COVID. We than took a chance and moved it to November 2020, still a no go. After 2 postponements and 3 wedding dates later Bill and I were married on July 24, 2021. Tracy was amazing during these setbacks. We’ve worked with her a long time to prepare for this day, that’s why we go way back. Our wedding was everything I’ve hoped for and more. My guests said to me it was one of the best weddings they’ve attended.
Thank you Tracy and staff for everything, we’ll keep in touch!
Hugs

We got married on the 19th of June at Windows on the Water and it was an amazing experience. As a result of COVID we ended up reducing our wedding from the original 250 guests to ~50 guests and Tracy and her team were so helpful in accommodating our changes. Everything we beautiful, the food was incredible, and we even had our silly requests (a shark ice sculpture and biscuits and gravy) fulfilled. Plus our puppy was able to join the ceremony! Thank you for a great day!Windows On The Water's reply:

Christina Sent on 11/22/2019My wedding was absolutely perfect!!
Our wedding was the most perfect day because of the hard work of our vendors and the flexibility of Tracy and Brandon. They were so accommodating to all of our crazy requests and menu changes. Truly gave us a completely customized wedding and the wedding I started dreaming about as a little girl. When I walked into the venue, my husband and I knew it was perfect. The view alone is worth every penny!! But no one does a wedding like Tracy and Brandon. I can't say enough good things about them - they are phenomenal people to work with. Thank you for everything and making sure our wedding was the most perfect & beautiful day!!!!Windows On The Water's reply:
Hey Christina! Thank you so much for your kind words. It was a pleasure working with you and your family for the past year. So glad that we were a part of your special day. ~ Brandon -

Windows on the Water
Wow! I cannot say enough about Windows on the Water-personable staff that is there to answer all questions- I emailed Tracy so many times and always received a timely, helpful answer. I cannot say enough about her!! She was there for us from the very beginning. Brandon and Lady, who helped out the day of the wedding, made sure everything went smoothly and were amazing! There was a mixup with my Etsy order and when I was dropping things off the day before, Brandon and Tracy helped me out with that as well, when it didn’t even have to do with them! Love love love! Andddd the beautiful beach and venue itself- I cannot say enough- people thought we got married on an island when they saw pictures! The food was delicious as well!Windows On The Water's reply:
Jade & Roger, We cannot thank you enough for the wonderful review and for being such a fabulous couple. Working with you was such a pleasure. I'm going to miss the emails and phone calls. I may have separation anxiety. Hope Hawaii was a blast!!!!! -

We recently got married at Windows on the water in Sea Bright. The moment I stepped into the building I knew I was going to fall in love. The place is absolutely stunning. Tracy is an amazing person who always made me feel very comfortable and at ease. She helped me through the planning and was always an email or call away with any questions that I had. The service at the wedding was impeccable. Lady and Brandon were on point and aways a step ahead. The food, the waiting staff, the bartenders were all very professional and accommodating to any changes. I would recommend having any party there as they do not disappoint! Thank you again guys you made my dreams come true! -

Perfect day!
If your checking out windows on the water you see how gorgeous it is!!!! It is truly the most beautiful place to get married . EVERYONE told us how fantastic the food was, the cocktail hour was amazing and sooo much food, then the dinner was delicious and the dessert was so much better than I was expecting!!!! We did the boardwalk dessert package, wow! I was blown away!! Tracy was so easy during the whole process and extremely helpful, always got back to me within the day I called , and that was only if she didn’t answer right when I called, which was most of the time. Brandon, Lady and Tracy made the day go smoothly and I didn’t have to think about a thing the day of the wedding. If you’re looking to get married on the beach I can’t imagine doing it anywhere else!!!Windows On The Water's reply:

Best day of our lives
Our daughter wanted to get married on the beach, not as easy to find as we thought. Nevertheless we looked at a bunch of places. When we walked into Windows we all cried! Perfect for our daughter!! Tracy was so easy to work with! Extremely accommodating, always got back to me immediately if she didn’t answer the phone right away. I was a drop nervous about not tasting the food before hand but EVERYONE said haw fantastic the food was! The cocktail hour was fantastic, and the the dinner was even better. Dessert was incredible, we did the boardwalk package, so much better than I had imagined. The day was very literally the absolute best day of our lives!!! It was PERFECT!!! Brandon, Lady and Tracy made the day go so smoothly, we didn’t have to think of anything that day, just enjoy and dance all night long! You will not be disappointed. I can’t even imagine what someone would say that wasn’t amazing about windows on the water. 💖💖💖💖👰🏼🤵🏼 -

Jamie Sent on 10/15/2018Dream Beach Venue!!!
We honestly cannot say enough great things about Windows on the Water. We got married there on Friday September 28th. From the moment we stepped in the venue we fell in love with the place. Tracy, the venue manager, was the icing on the cake. She was awesome to work with and her to-do lists enabled us to stay on track, which was important to us since we booked them only 4 months out from our wedding date. The bridal attendant and the maitre D, Lady and Brandon, were phenomenal to work with as well. When we met them at our rehearsal the night before, we felt like we already knew them. They took care of all the little details and knew exactly how things were supposed to go. We had plans of our own for how the night should go but after taking their advice early on, we were happy to give up our plans and just follow their lead. They truly are professionals!
Also, we were so happy that we used their recommended vendor sheet. As we were standing on the beach taking the last of our pictures before the ceremony, we realized that Lady and Brandon knew our emcee, Ryan from DJ Sounds to Go and head photographer Bogdan from Red Bank Studio Photography well. We didn’t realize how important it was at the time but looking back now, it definitely provided us with a seamless experience from start to finish.
Our guests cannot stop raving about our reception. The food was delicious. Cocktail hour can get crazy at a wedding for the bride and groom but they pulled us into the bridal suite immediately after the ceremony and gave us a private sampling. We were so happy that we didn’t miss one of the best parts of any wedding. The cocktail hour is partially outdoors (weather permitting) which was another amazing selling point of the venue. At the end of cocktail hour, while our guests went upstairs for the reception, we were able to finish enjoying the spectacular eats and treats which is a huge bonus.
The reception was gorgeous with panoramic views that only this venue can offer. The sunset and moon rising over the ocean added an aesthetic quality that you just can’t get without all those windows. Leading up to our big day, my only concern was that the 15 tables that we had were going to be tight, but I was certainly wrong. We had 160 people and there was no backing your chair up into the table behind you. Also with the venue being setup the way it is, the dance floor extends the length of the room, it provides plenty of room to dance and move around. There truly isn’t a bad thing to say about Windows on the Water (WOW). We can’t wait to go back there for one of our friend’s weddings. -

Tracy was so responsive and efficient from the beginning and answered any questions I had no matter how silly. The rehearsal was flawless and Lady and Brandon made it that much easier for us! The night of the wedding was perfect from the food to all the little details and we didn’t have to think for ourselves at all and always had a drink in hand! -

Amanda Sent on 09/26/2018My husband I had our wedding reception at Windows on the Water this September and we have not stopped hearing "but seriously that was the best wedding we ever went to!" While we didn't have our ceremony onsite, our cocktail hour space flowed onto the deck where there were more high-top tables for people to hang out and take pictures with the sunset.
From the beginning when we were just looking at venues Tracy was amazing, answering any questions we had and explaining costs etc (which all brides can agree is a shock at first haha). After booking our date I would call Tracy sporadically with random questions and she was always amazing to deal with.
I didn't think it could get any better and then I met Brandon a few weeks before my wedding. We met and went over where I wanted every single item and how I wanted the night to flow, and let me tell you he remembered it all. Brandon was also a great sounding board since he knew what has worked best in the space.
The day finally arrived and I couldn't have asked for anything more! Brandon and his team were amazing- my mom even commented on how friendly the wait and bar staff were. The food was AMAZING (feel free to ask any of our guests.) Brandon made sure that Tom and I had our own private cocktail hour so that we actually got to spend time together (and try all the amazing food).
Overall, we could not thank Tracy, Brandon and the WOW team enough for making our night even more amazing that we thought possible.
