Venues & Event Spaces near Manasquan, NJ

“We went for the first time to get a Christmas tree. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Not only did they help us find a tree, they assisted with family photos too! The trees were all wonderful, the set up nostalgic, and the cost very reasonable for the tree/experience.”

“Cant recommend Silverball enough!! Retro arcade on the north shore brings everything you miss about yesteryear. Fabulous selection of games, along with historical facts and information. Definitely offers something for everyone!!”

“This was our third year hosting our annual luncheon at Spring Lake Manor. From the moment you arrive, you are made to feel that the owner and his staff want to help make your event everything you want it to be. The event space is well appointed and spacious. Everyone who attended our event had only high praise for the food, space and the attentiveness of the staff. Looking forward to our next event there!”

“We absolutely loved working at Eagle Oaks. The bridal suite is gorgeous with beautiful light for getting ready photos. The grounds are stunning. The outdoor ceremony space overlooks the course with tons of greenery in the background. The cocktail and receptions spaces are large and elegant. It's a perfect venue for your wedding!”

“This is one of the most beautiful hotels I’ve ever visited, flawless in every detail. I visited on a busy September weekend when moldy Manhattan hotels were charging $600 a night, yet James’ single room was just $210—without any hidden fees. How could anyone complain?

The beauty lies in its artistic harmony. We stayed in Room 2 on the ground floor, a room with a brown theme where the lighting and colors were simply exquisite—every photo is Instagram-worthy. Our window looked out onto a corner of the garden, almost like gazing at a painting. As night fell and the garden lights came on, it felt like watching starlit romance. Every inch of the space showcases the designer’s aesthetic touch, something you would only expect to find for $1,600 a night in Manhattan! (And as someone who just stayed at the St. Regis for that price, I can vouch for this!) Plus, they even offer breakfast!

The bathroom is pink and perfectly coordinated. I hadn’t had the chance to soak in a bath in three years, but here, I finally did. The bathtub was new and sparkling clean. Though the hotel dates back to 1904, it doesn’t have the kind of decay or “charmingly old” issues that you often find in Manhattan hotels. You can enjoy a bath here with peace of mind. Bath salts are also available for purchase if you want a stress-relieving soak. The lighting in the pink bathroom creates a soft brown hue—an ideal backdrop for capturing beautiful photos.

Beyond the thoughtful design of the furniture and color schemes, they also enhance the guest experience with nice touches like a refrigerator, bath towels, and even two cookies upon arrival, which made my son very happy.

If I had to list any downsides: 1) There’s no elevator in this old building, which might not be stroller-friendly, but I don’t think it’s a big deal; 2) The staff finishes their shift at 6 PM, so any requests after that might not be accommodated—luckily, we didn’t run into any issues; 3) Some garden features, like a fire pit, might not be available; 4) The location is in a residential neighborhood, not downtown, so there aren’t many restaurants or bars nearby, and the beach is more rustic, not as fine-sand as Asbury Park. But honestly, this hotel is perfect for unwinding and reflecting—its tranquility is unmatched.

If I were to rate it out of 10, I’d give it a full 10—it’s just perfect for me.

Nearby activities: I took my son to the playground nearby , he loves it ! That s one of the best in NY-NJ, the seagulls at the ocean are aggressive, not recommended if u go with kids

Food and drinks: They only provide breakfast, and in a residential neighborhood, not downtown, so there aren’t many restaurants or bars nearby, we ordered The Greek Spot from DoorDash , it s damn good as like in this hotel”

“I don’t even know where to begin. My husband and I got married at jumping brook on Saturday 3/23/24, and I have no words other than perfection. Our wedding was absolutely perfect. And it poured rain all day long and it still was the perfect day. Diamond and Lady were absolutely perfect. Our drinks were never empty whatever we needed they took care of. Everything was on time and on schedule. I would have my reception there over and over again. We got so many compliments on the food and cocktail hour. It was all flawless! I can’t thank Jumping Brook enough for giving Kenny and I the most perfect day! If you are considering booking here for your wedding, stop considering and book them now, you won’t regret it !”

“We just had our 40th Class Reunion at the Waterview and had a fantastic night at this venue. Suzanne, the booking manager, was a pleasure to deal with from start to finish. She was very accommodating and responsive. The main ballroom with the overlooking balcony was spacious and elegant. The passedhors d'oeuvres and buffet selections were all delicious. The pricing, scenic location and private parking are all perks that make this an ideal location to host events.”

“Nothing more iconic than the Asbury Park Convention Hall at the boardwalk. Huge facility with shops and restaurants ringing the main hall. Have seen many a show and event here. Plenty of parking, lodging and things to do in the area. Highly recommend you visit if you have the opportunity. Why not make it a weekend.”

“PERFECTION. I had my daughter’s Sweet 16 last night at the yacht club. It exceeded my expectations. The room looked beautiful, the food was outstanding, and the staff could not have been more accommodating and friendly. Pat was a joy to work with from the start of the planning process to the end of the party. She is so helpful and kind. My guests were raving about the evening. I would recommend this venue to anyone looking to host a celebration!”

“We had a family reunion dinner for 12 there last week with family from Portugal, Japan, California and NY. The Sunset Ballroom was the perfect venue for our final meal together. Great view, food, drink and service.”

“NJ Salsa hosting Latin Social in Asbury! Sand Water Sun n SALSA my favorite things come together. This was a wonderful venue Music was great and I got to meet new friendly people. Can't wait for Summer 2025s events here.”

“Having a great time here. Came for a business trip and I really liked my room. It is very spacious, ean and quite. It has all the ameneties ypu can think of in a room. Great for long stays.”

“The food was awesome. I highly recommend the Sea Bass. However the service was lacking and our server seemed uninterested in us and would disappear often, even though the place was only half full. And, for some crazy reason, they feel blasting music extremely loud and to the point you can't have a conversation with the person next to you is somehow equal to great ambiance.”
