My husband and I had our wedding reception here, and the folks at OP gave us incredible service the entire weekend. The complementary suite offers a lot of getting-ready room - but only for one half of the couple, if you don't want to see each other the morning of the ceremony. Our coordinator Lauren and our maitre d' Odelia did an incredible job. On the day of, they made sure my husband and I were always comfortable with hot food and a drink nearby. All this is despite the fact we were nearly maxing out the guest capacity at 200+ guests and had a ton of decorations. The food was incredible. Our guests, my partner, and I couldn’t stop talking about how good the food was, and there was more than enough to satisfy everyone. Lovely space, and we were lucky enough to have good weather so we could use the balcony at the reception, which I really enjoyed. Lauren and management were also very gracious in accommodating our silly karaoke afterparty idea. And then the breakfast service for the morning after blew us away, with a delicious spread and chefs making fresh omelets. Our only big gripe was the starting price for the hotel rooms in our block ($359 a night in the off season???) Eventually the price came down, but by then a lot of our guests had already made their travel arrangements. Overall, OP has some issues on the hotel side and may look dated, but it’s a top-notch event venue.

We just had out wedding on 10/20 at Oyster Point and would recommend this venue highly! Rachel walked us through the whole planning process was extremely helpful every step of the way! On the day, our Maitre D - Odilia - was the absolute best!! She made sure the whole day ran smoothly and executed every detail to perfection. From coordinating with our vendors the day of, ensuring we were running to schedule, etc. The Oyster Point served as a perfect venue for our ceremony and reception - the staff was incredibly kind, the food was amazing and offers a great view. The morning after, we hosted a breakfast for our guests and received many compliments! We cannot say enough about the Oyster Point - it was the perfect place to have our wedding!

We had our dream wedding ceremony and reception at the Oyster Point Hotel in May 2023. The venue exceeded all of our expectations from start to finish, which created an unforgettable experience. The hotel is incredible from the breathtaking views, which makes for the perfect photo backdrop to the convenience of staying on the same property as the event. All of our guests have raved about the food quality and the wait staff who were attentive throughout the event.
We worked with Lauren Murtagh, the catering sales manager, she went above and beyond for us ensuring that our every need was taken care of. She was able to assist us throughout the wedding planning process to find the best vendors, coordinate the day of events, and even organized our wedding rehearsal and dinner. Lauren is knowledgeable and resourceful, we emailed her once requesting information for violinist recommendations, within the hour she had provided us with several options that allowed us to find the perfect fit for our day. Lauren is incredible and is the reason our wedding planning was stressful and fun and we would work with her again in a heartbeat! We wholeheartedly recommend the Oyster Point Hotel for your wedding!

The Oyster Point Hotel was our unofficial wedding headquarters: Our entire bridal party (and some close friends) stayed there and the hotel hosted our Rehearsal Dinner and our Morning-After the Wedding Breakfast. Rachel was a huge help booking our dinner and breakfast. The view is amazing and the rooms were great. Highly recommend!

Our ceremony and reception at Oyster Point was spectacular, and a large part of that is because of the staff and our maître d', Jaime. Jaime was so organized, and it made us feel very at ease. He was always there to make sure there wasn’t anything additional we needed, and to make sure everyone was in the right place. We lived out of state, which made it a little difficult for us to get the decor and such delivered, and delayed our initial walk thru, but that was not a problem at all! Jaime made suggestions as to what worked best for the layout etc, and we welcomed them with open arms! The setup in the suite was wonderful, and everyone on the staff was so friendly and welcoming. My parents flight got cancelled, resulting in them arriving a day late, and the staff even comped that one night they missed. Absolutely amazing. We loved the food (for real, the food was absolutely spectacular…I still dream about those bacon wrapped scallops and lobster bisque) and the chef even took extra time to use a cookie cutter to add a special bread shape which fit our theme to our appetizer. Incredible! Our coordinator left the venue for another position before our meal choices were made, but Oyster Point handled it with ease. Special shout-out to Judy for always responding to our flurries of emails while we made sure everything was squared away. And another shout out to Jaime, who again, was absolutely fantastic!

We just got married at Oyster Point this past weekend and I cannot say enough good things about this venue and our day. The hotel is beautiful, the view is perfect, the food was incredible and the service, especially from our Maitre De, Odilia, was just absolutely amazing. Our wedding planning experience could not have been more enjoyable and I am confident much of that was because we were able to work with such a great team. I can’t say enough nice things about everyone that helped with our wedding. The day of was just seamless from start to finish. Odilia went above and beyond to make sure my husband and I had everything we needed and things we didn’t even think to ask for. I highly recommend this hotel for anyone planning their wedding.

I made a wedding for my son this past week at the Oyster Point. The Food was Very Good, the wait staff good. The maitre’d d’ was Terrible, we couldn’t find him most of the wedding, the Officiant had to take over, getting everyone lined up and getting everyone down the aisle. They had extensive notes and lists about the wedding and NOTHING was followed through. I would not Recommend this venue for any type of catering event. I would go to the restaurant, the manager and the staff there KNOW what they are Doing. The made Many Promises to book the wedding and then didn’t follow through. Stay Away, they lost my business, I am now looking to book a baby shower and will NOT go Back!!!

My wedding at the Oyster Point was PERFECT! Throughout the whole process Kelly made everything easy & enjoyable. She was so responsive every time I had questions or needed help. Cristian was our Maitre’d and he could not have done a better job. He made sure the whole day flowed and coached us through it all. He was great at figuring out all the details ahead of time so nothing unexpected came up. The food was amazing and everyone raved about it.
Another great part about a wedding at the Oyster Point is the beautiful bridal suite - it was an amazing way to wake up on my wedding day and great place to get ready.

Everything was absolutely perfect! From our first step into the venue we knew that it was where we wanted our wedding. Allison was fantastic, she worked with us throughout our entire wedding process. She was always quick to answer any questions I had. Anything we needed she was able to help us with. They were able to make any accommodations that we needed. Cristian was our Maitre’d for the night and he was amazing also. Everything was set up perfect for our wedding and just how we wanted. Someone was always available to help with anything that we needed. All the staff members were great the night of the wedding and even the next morning when we had a breakfast buffet for our overnight guests. The food was outstanding! We could not have asked for a better venue, everything was perfect! Our wedding was on 4/6/19.

We had our wedding this past October at the Oyster Point. We first visited the hotel for Valentine’s Day back in 2014 and loved the atmosphere, the food and the service/staff. (And of course that view!) When it came time to look for wedding venues it was one of our first options. After looking at a few others we were absolutely sure that Oyster Point would be were we had our wedding reception. From the moment we walked in, Allison was very friendly and very warm and welcoming. She made us feel at ease and informed every step of the way. She had answers for every question we had and if she didn’t at that moment, she got us an answer in a few days time. We felt like having our wedding there was an honor to the hotel/staff rather than just another party. This wasn’t the case with some of the other venues we visited. The hotel was going through a beautiful renovation and we were lucky enough to have it finished before our wedding date. The planning and coordinating was smooth and all the members of staff we dealt with throughout the process were kind and professional. When it came time to lock down main details, Christian (our maitre’d) and Allison were responsive to our requests and questions and made us feel like everything was in good hands. On the day of our wedding, everything was perfect. Christian was like our own personal assistant/manager. He made sure our wedding party was where they should be and that our vendors knew where to go. He was always near by us if we needed anything and always made sure we ate and drank. He even cut one of my appetizer plates to make sure I was able to grab bites between greeting guests! I could go on and on about how amazing of an experience we had but I’m sure I would run out of room. Our guests complimented everything from the food to the decor and the service. I would recommend this venue to anyone looking for amazing service, friendly staff and different look and feel to their special day. Thank you Oyster Point!

My husband and I got married at the Oyster Point Hotel and we cannot say enough AMAZING things about our experience!
From the very moment we met Allison (the catering sales manager) she was friendly, accommodating, personable, informative and always quick to respond to our questions. She is outstanding at her job and takes what can be a very busy and overwhelming experience and makes it feel easy. She was our go to person throughout our wedding planning process and we cannot thank her enough or say enough positive things about all she did for us and her quality of work.
We met Christian, our maître d’, the week of the wedding and from the moment we met him we liked him immediately. He is warm, dedicated, friendly and professional and he executed our wedding pristinely. Our wedding day was seamlessly flawless because of all his hard work.
The compliments we received about the venue, quality of food, service and fun were overwhelming! And one of our guest, who tends to be a very tough critic, told us it was one of the nicest weddings she had ever attended. It made us feel so fulfilled to know our guests enjoyed themselves as much as we did.
If you’re looking for extraordinary service and staff, paired with delicious food, a beautiful chic venue with a jaw dropping view then look no further- The Oyster Point is your wedding dream come true!! Thank you to everyone at The Oyster Point for all their hard work and commitment for what they do!

The minute we walked into the Oyster Point we knew this was going to be our venue. Allison Mercer was absolutely amazing and walked us through every detail of our big day. She answered every e-mail promptly and assured me that everything would be exactly how I wanted. Needless to say I was blown away on our actual wedding day. Every detail was perfect, the food was amazing and the staff was great. Our guests enjoyed the stunning view of the Navesink River from the floor to ceiling windows lining the back of the room as well as on the outdoor patio. We still have family members talking about the view as well as the food, especially the raw bar/ lobster tails. We would definitely recommend the Oyster Point to any couple who is looking for a reasonable venue on the water. Trust us you will not be disappointed!!

Allison and the team made our wedding night a dream come true after asssiting us with everything along the way in the year leading up to our wedding. Absolutely exception and would highly recommend the Oyster Point to anyone looking for a venue! Best night of our lives!

My husband and I had our wedding ceremony and reception at The Oyster Point and everything was on "point"! It was great to have everything in one location (ceremony, reception, hotel accommodations). Our wedding coordinator, Allison, was fabulous— quick to respond and very helpful and accommodating with all of our questions leading up to the wedding. Our Maître D, Cristian, was very professional and did an amazing job with making the day go smoothly and stress free, he was there to constantly make sure we had everything we needed. Our guests raved about the food at the cocktail hour, reception, and brunch the next day. It's the best food I've ever had at a reception (highly recommend the surf and turf). The bridal suite and views of the Navesink are beautiful. Thank you to the OP team, we really couldn't have asked for a more perfect day!

Where do I begin...A bit late on our review but we have had a lot on our plates lately with my husband deploying for a year! Allison was amazing to work with, she went above and beyond to make sure everything was set perfectly for our wedding day. Communication leading up to our wedding was easy which alleviates a lot of wedding stress! Odilia was incredible on our wedding night. She was there whenever we needed her and she made sure we were well taken care of. Everything ran smoother than we could have imagined, we just wish the night didn't go by so fast!! The Oyster Point in itself is a stunning venue and hotel with out of this world views of the river. When we were planning, we knew we wanted a venue and hotel all in one to make it easier on our guests and the OP was just that. A HUGE THANK YOU to Allison, Odilia, all of the servers, the chefs, the hotel staff, and everyone else who made our day one we will never forget. You are all amazing!

We highly recommend this venue...we had an unforgettable few days!

My husband and I held our wedding reception at the Oyster Point in August 2018. As soon as we walked in, we knew we had found our venue. It was exactly what we were looking for- newly-renovated, modern, bright, with a nautical/beach-like feel. We loved that the entire second floor was our space for the night. We also loved that the Oyster Point was a hotel, where many of our out-of-town guests stayed. The outdoor space and spacious deck was another plus that was really utilized during the cocktail hour. All the guests took beautiful pictures with the Navesink in the background, enjoyed the cigar roller that we had set up, and we got incredible drone footage!
The staff, such as Allison, the catering sales manager, was extremely welcoming and accommodating from the very beginning. She was transparent as to what we would get in our package and offered great vendor ideas, many of which we used. She was always available and extremely responsive throughout our experience.
A few days prior to our big day, we were introduced to our maitre-d, Odilia, who was nothing short of amazing. She was positive and kind, detail-oriented, listened to our every want and need, offered great suggestions, and set up everything exactly how we wanted it. The night of the wedding, we literally did not have to worry about one thing. She ensured that we were always enjoying the night. The night went flawlessly, mainly due to Odilia's fantastic and hard work.
Post-wedding, all our guests told us over and over that they had not been to a better wedding. People raved about the cocktail hour and the dinner food especially, saying it's the best they've ever had.
We cannot say enough great things about Oyster Point and really encourage all those interested to HAVE YOUR WEDDING HERE. You will not regret it. We truly had the best day of our lives!

The night turned out beautiful. The food was incredible, Allison the planner was so helpful and hands on. The entire night was a dream. The views are incredible and it was so nice for everyone to be able to stay right there on site. Definitely suggest!

We couldn’t be HAPPIER with how our reception turned out at the Oyster Point! The ballroom looked fabulous (especially since it was recently updated) and the views are absolutely spectacular. We had a rainy day and the views STILL enhanced the overall feel of the room! Working with Allison leading up to the wedding day was nothing short of positive. She was super accommodating of all of our questions and requests and the team at the Oyster Point did so well working with our vendors and executing our reception. Linda & her team in Room Reservations were also amazing to work with! We had to the hotel sold out and were making a lot of adjustments last minute, and they were more than happy to help us. Our guests CANNOT stop raving about how delicious the FOOD was—at cocktail, at the reception and through dessert. We had about 175 guests and the room fit us all perfectly! The dance floor was packed and the room was just the right size. Thank you Oyster Point hotel team for EVERYTHING!

We cannot express enough how amazing of a venue the Oyster Point is with the views, hotel accommodations, and gorgeous ballroom. The main reason we picked this venue was their abilities to adjust and accommodate my food allergies to customize every aspect of the day from cocktail hour, the entrees, and then the after party food selections. They consistently followed up with responses to my questions regarding the allergies and were prompt to finding the information from the chef and vendors.
During the reception, our guests had nothing but good things to say about the staff service during the reception and cocktail hour. As the bride and groom, we felt very well taken care of from the moment we stepped off the trolley from the ceremony and our maitre’d was right there to greet us.
Our visions came to life in the ballroom with the beautiful views, the design and set up of the guest tables, and the personalized decor we wanted incorporated throughout the venue. We wouldn’t have changed anything from what we picked and couldn’t be happier with our decision to have our wedding at the Oyster Point.

My wife and I got married at the Oyster Point last fall and I cannot say enough how amazing everything was. We worked with Bill throughout the process and Christian was our maitre d the day of the wedding and both of them were absolutely fantastic. The whole staff was extremely accommodating and responsive.
The venue itself is beautiful, the food is delicious, and it is reasonably priced. Also, having the hotel right there for your guests made things so easy for us. If you are considering having your wedding at the Oyster Point, do it!

The Oyster Point was the perfect venue for our romantic and upscale wedding. All of the hotel renovations look stunning and the food was exceptional, but most importantly the staff constantly went above and beyond.

Thanks to everyone for making our perfect day gorgeous and stress-free.

We had our wedding at The Oyster Point Hotel and we could not have been happier! They have recently renovated the entire hotel: sleeping rooms, lobby, ballrooms, etc. So everything looks newer & updated. The great part about this place is EVERYTHING is in 1 location (ceremony, cocktails, reception, after party bar, and hotel rooms). But it doesn't make you feel like you are at a Marriott...you still feel like you are at a wedding venue! Cristian (Matre 'D) is out of this world! No detail was left unturned...and I recommend using the local vendors they suggest if you can. Because they all know each other, it makes everything super easy! I worried about nothing except enjoying the day! The hotel itself only has 56 rooms, but if you are having a large wedding, their sister hotel The Molly Pitcher Inn is a 5 minute walk down the street, so plenty of hotel rooms to accommodate all guests. We would definitely have another event here if we need to! Thank you for making our wedding so special Oyster Point!

From the moment we walked into the lobby of The Oyster Point Hotel, I knew this was the place I had to have my wedding reception (after seeing 7 other venues) From the stunning Navesink River views that follow you all through out the property to the top notch customer service & delicious food
Bill Murray was Fabulous to work with From begin to end, He was a huge help throughout the whole process
Ordilia was amazing as well she made sure we were taken care of throughout the whole night, my guests have all raves about how amazed they were with the Food & Service, they felt like they were personally cared for not the feel of a typical “banquet hall”
I have nothing but good things to say about the place & the people behind it
they told us they would make sure we got to enjoy our cocktail hour,dinner & cake which we did because they gave us a private cocktail hour in our suite until we wanted to go down to greet guest which gave us the change to freshen up and eat
Then made sure we had our AMAZING dinner & when we went to our room and the end of it all they left us a chilled bottle of champagne & slices of our cake
They are the best!!!!!! Thank you again!!!!!

Our wedding at the Oyster Point on 8/19/17 was everything we dreamed of and much much more. Since booking over a year prior, Allison was incredibly responsive in answering all questions via email almost immediately! I knew right off the bat I had nothing to worry about based on her responsiveness and how easy she was to work with. As the date drew closer, we had a pre-wedding meeting with Allison and Christian to review all the details. I literally have not one bad thing to say. Everything went so smoothly. The ballroom looked beautiful and the hotel worked with our vendors to ensure it was set up just as we wanted...and it truly exceeded our expectations. Our guests could not stop raving about the service, the view, and the FOOD! They were also kind enough to extend the bar area in the ballroom since we had a larger wedding of 186 people. We included the next day Brunch in our package and it was out of this world good. Having our wedding here was the best decision we could have made. It was wonderful having our guests stay right at the hotel and Allison and Christian made the entire day stress free. If you want a fabulous wedding with delicious and abundant food and fabulous food, this is your place.

We chose the Oyster Point for our July wedding and could not have been happier with our decision. Our ceremony was held off-site on waterfront property (partnered with the hotel) and we returned to the Oyster Point for cocktail hour and the reception. Everything from the time we booked with sales associate Bill Murray, to our wedding experience with Maitre d' Christian was flawless. The staff is excellent, the view is breathtaking and they do everything in their power to make your wedding day as special as possible. Going into it we knew our wedding would be a tight squeeze. We were one of the largest weddings to be held in the space. We also had an 11 piece band which took up a lot of room. The dance floor was packed (in a good way) but we never felt like sardines. Our invite list was 243 and we had 222 guests. The guest rooms are pricey, but the view and the convenience of being able to walk up to your room was well worth it.

My wife and I literally can't say enough about how positive our experience was hosting our wedding at The Oyster Point. Bill Murray was truly a pleasure to work with over the past year. He was diligent, responsive and always willing to work with us. Odilia our Maitre De was also top class. She was on top of everything during our reception and took great care of us. We chose to hold our ceremony outdoors at the K Hovnanian building and it was fantastic! I strongly recommend using this ceremony site. The food was on point! Our vision was to try and keep the party moving and switch it up from the formal wedding style. For this I recommend the Provence package which is a cocktail style wedding (themed stations). Our guests couldn't stop raving over the food and venues gorgeous balcony. We genuinely couldn't of had a better day and a lot of that was due to the Oyster Point. Thank you Bill, Odilia and the rest of the staff!

Every moment of our wedding day was perfect, thanks in large part to the Oyster Point Hotel. We were married during one of the busiest holiday weekends for a Jersey Shore venue, but nothing was ever a bother to them. Every aspect of our day was executed perfectly; they took care of every last detail with care and professionalism. The outdoor ceremony space on the Navesink River is simply unforgettable, and the food - from the appetizers to the pastries - was impeccable. From the day we booked with Bill, he was incredibly attentive and responsive through every stage of the planning process, helping to make it as stress-free as possible. Cristian took amazing care of us as well as our entire bridal party and families, both in the bridal suite (which is luxurious beyond belief) and during the reception. We never wanted for anything, and he was extremely personable. We cannot recommend this staff and this space highly enough!

We are familiar with the finer things in life and have very high standards. Our special day had to be elegant, provide amazing food and views, with seamless service. This was not our first rodeo and what we did not want was a wedding factory feel. Bill and his staff at the Oyster Point attended to every detail and our special day was beyond our dreams. It reached the highest level of perfect! The bridal suite on the Navesink was gorgeous; the banquet room with the promenade on the river was stunning; the food was memorable and remains a topic of conversation among our guests; and the service was impeccable. The Oyster Point staff worked easily with us and with every one of our vendors. Wish there were more stars to rate Bill and his staff. Congratulations on your special day and if you are looking for true elegance, I highly recommend the Oyster Point. It is truly a slice of Manhattan on the Navesink River. -Katherine

He made sure every detail was explained thoroughly and was helpful in every way possible any time we had questions or concerns. Our maitre d was Odilia and she was professional, friendly, extremely attentive and nothing short of wonderful. The day of ran smoothly and she put up with our rowdy group with ease and a smile on her face. The hotel and staff were ALL very pleasant, which is rare. The view is beautiful- right on the river, plenty of places for pictures. This is important because it was dismal and pouring as we got ready, but would have been OK because there are so many beautiful options within the property to take pictures. We lucked out as the skies cleared and we could use the docks and outside grounds along the river for beautiful pictures, too. Our ceremony was held in the main ballroom and it was cozy with the background overlook of the river. We chose to do the cocktail style reception (Provence) with roughly 150 people and there was plenty of room. Cocktail hour was way over the top. SO many options with this style. All of the food was awesome. The package also included top shelf open bar, which most guests also appreciated. The rooms have great flow for this type of event. The hotel rooms are better than average. The beds are the most comfortable I've slept in in a hotel (bridal suite was something over the top, like a cloud). Everything was very clean. Only complaints (we didn't feel were something to even be concerned with enough about to complain) was the sliding doors to the deck in the bridal suite were extremely difficult to open or close. Had to put your whole body into it. AC/heat units were noisy here and there. Bathrooms could use some updating.
Our vendors were over the top (the OP provides a list of preferred but not required). Our choice of bakery- Ye Old Pie Shoppe. Fantastic. We did cupcakes and they were extremely moist and 100% delicious. Tom is laid back and easy going, very receptive to every detail and request. Our photographer was not on their list, Matt Soult. He has photographed the place a few times and knows the nooks and crannies. He is fun, personable and amazing. We chose our entertainment based on a prior wedding we had been to (aren't on the pref list)- D'amico Entertainment. Check them out. We chose their "DJ Alive" package and they delivered. Last but not least, someone who I am now honored to consider a dear friend and would have never met without the Oyster Point, our florist, Abigail Parsons. She is a wonderful, creative, honest person with a heart of gold. She reads people well and she just got me and my style from the get go. I told her from day 1 that I was leaving the floral details in her hands. I don't particularly care for fresh cut flowers but love greenery and plants. I am not a traditional pink and white peony type girl, but I've seen her work and Abigail can do it all. The arrangements she surprised us with were stunning with a theme of "rustic chic". Old wine crates with a variety of plants, burlap here and there, mason jars with just the perfect blend of greens and rustic flowers- the guests went absolutely crazy over it all.
Best wedding ever! Guests are still raving about it- a month later! Some even went back for lunch and dinner shortly after because they loved it so much! Bottom line- you can't go wrong here.

The Oyster Point by far exceeded our expectations. Allison was very accommodating to our requests and was always gracious and prompt. Our maitre'd, Odalia, helped to make sure the entire day ran smoothly. The view is breathtaking and the food was amazing. We have had nothing but rave reviews from our friends and family. The entire team excelled in making every detail perfect and helping to create the wedding we have always dreamed of! Thank you!!!

My husband and I had our wedding ceremony at the K Hovnanian on the Navesink facilitated by the Oyster Point with a reception there to follow. The staff was beyond accommodating and flexible to my long list of diy projects coming in the night before and our 230 guests. I could not be happier with the views, food, and remarkable staff.

Great place for a wedding. The food was great and the staff was very attentive and professional. It was nice to have the guests stay at the hotel and we had a great brunch the next day. Allison Mercer was very easy to deal with and very professional. Odelia the maitre'd was excellent. I highly recommend this venue.

The Oyster Point Hotel was fantastic in every aspect! They were accommodating in every way possible. Allison was always there to answer any questions we had and got back to us immediately. She was extremely helpful in the planning process. Cristian was our maitre 'd and he was amazing! Anything we needed, he was there to help. From the time we walked in to Oyster Point until the very end of the night he was always there to help us and guide us through our day. All of our guests said they had an amazing time and raved about how great the food was. We had many guests stay overnight and join us for breakfast the following morning. The breakfast at the hotel was delicious and it was a great way to end the celebration. We couldn't have asked for better service and professionalism. The Oyster Point Hotel was perfect for our wedding and we would highly recommend them!

Choosing The Oyster Point Hotel as our wedding reception venue was the first planning decision my husband and I made and we could not have been happier with how everything worked out. Allison was beyond accommodating and always answered our inquiries quickly and professionally. The views of the Navesink River from the balcony are wonderful and the food and service were outstanding. The hotel is beautiful (from the guest rooms to the ballroom and lobby lounge where we hung out after the reception) and I did not have to worry about a thing on the day of the wedding. They truly made the day so easy for us and we were able to enjoy every minute stress-free. I received so many wonderful comments from family and friends on how much they enjoyed the reception, and it meant the world to us that our guests had as great a time as we did. I would highly recommend The Oyster Point Hotel if you are considering having your wedding reception in the area!

Our wedding was absolutely perfect at the Oyster Point Hotel! The venue is gorgeous with amazing views. Bill and Christian were both amazing, as well as the rest of the staff! I had nothing but rave reviews from the guests regarding the delicious food and amazing service. They were extremely accommodating with dietary restrictions and allergies (my sister said the servers confirmed with her at the reception who the guests with allergies were, which we are so grateful for), as well as everything else I wanted. They all made sure my day went smoothly! Bill was such a pleasure to work with all year. He always remembered my family and me every time we randomly showed up for dinner/drinks or just to show the venue off to a friend or family member! Christian was also wonderful and worked hard that weekend to ensure the day was perfect! I even heard great things from friends who met the chef (apparently they barged into the kitchen to compliment him)- they said he was very friendly and professional! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay all weekend as well, as did the rest of our friends and family! We couldn't have asked for a more perfect weekend or wedding planning experience!

Excellent, excellent, excellent!!! The Oyster Point Hotel exceeded our expectations in providing us with a sophisticated and elegant venue for our daughter's wedding! Allison, the Catering Sales Manager, worked with us from the onset to ensure that all our wishes and needs were met. She was always pleasant and easy to contact. The evening ran smoothly under the expertise of Cristian, our Maitre d'. The food was outstanding! The hotel was very chic and comfortable; the view was calming and relaxing. Our daughter's wedding was a magical evening we shall never forget!

Everything about the venue was amazing! The appetizers are some of the most delicious I have had at a wedding. Cristian (maî·tre d') and all of his staff were attentive to us and the bridal party all night, getting anything we needed or wanted. Bill was a pleasure to work with leading up to the wedding, and made the entire process so easy. The venue itself is gorgeous, with cocktail hour on the balcony over the water, it adds an extra special touch to the party. We loved LOVED Oyster Point, and would highly recommend it to anyone looking to book their wedding there.

The only thing we would change about our wedding at the Oyster Point would be to make it longer!!! We were pretty much set on the Oyster Point as soon as we saw it last year: I wanted a wedding at a hotel and my husband wanted a wedding with a view! The Oyster Point could not have been more perfect! Luckily, we had a beautiful August day for our wedding, which only enhanced the view and use of the balconies! Working with Bill Murray was wonderful, he is patient and always gets back to you quickly with any little question. He worked with us to make sure our wedding had everything we wanted! Christian was our Maitre D and in line with what we heard, he was fantastic: the attention to detail and smoothness of the wedding day was apparent to all in attendance! I was completely relaxed on my wedding day, since I was SO confident these two had everything under control! We had our ceremony on site and the turn over to the ballroom reception seemed to be perfect! The food was delicious from cocktail hour until the cake from Tinton Falls pastry chef! Everyone is still raving about the meal! Post-ceremony some of the bridal party went up to the suite and they even had food up there for us to enjoy so we would not miss out. Our server brought my husband and I one of each meal to our sweetheart table, from which we both took one bite! When we got up to the suite at the end of the night, our three meals were there along with cake and champagne! The following morning we had a brunch back in the ballroom and the room still looked gorgeous with our centerpieces reused on the tables.No detail was overlooked! I am so happy we chose the Oyster Point for our wedding- it turned out to be everything I dreamed for and more! Thank you Bill, Christian and everyone at the Oyster Point!

The Oyster Point Hotel was out of this world!!! After checking out many possible wedding venues, my husband and I knew Oyster Point would be our wedding venue from the minute we walked in. Allison was phenomenal to work with. She was attentive and prompt in responding to the millions of questions I had. She made the entire wedding planning process a breeze. As our event neared we met our Maitre’d for the evening, Cristian, who was also amazing!!!! Cristian took detailed notes of everything I wanted and literally had EVERYTHING PERFECT the night of our wedding. Their team handled every detail and ensured everything was on point the entire night. Our guests who stayed at the hotel complimented how nice and modern the rooms were. The bar downstairs stayed open until 2am after the reception. Even the breakfast we had for our guests was wonderful the next morning! The food and the views from the room cannot be beat. Our parents were so thrilled with the service. The quality was top notch. We cannot thank Allison, Cristian, and the entire Oyster Point team enough for making our day truly magical.

My husband and I got married there at the end of August and it was amazing!!! The food, the atmosphere, the views... It was clean and everyone was friendly. It was perfect! We booked in February and had the best experience from start to finish! Allison, our wedding planner was so helpful and thoughtful and kind! (We could not have done this without her! Thank you Allison!!) Our maitre'd Christian was amazing as well.. He knew his stuff! When we met with him we knew we were in good hands, he was organized and helpful. On the day of, He kept our bridal party in check- as well as us!! :) If I could do it all over, I would still choose oyster point again and again!!!! Thank you to the entire staff! We definitely recommend this place for any event you have! Or even just to get away a few nights. It is beautiful! The rooms are spacious, clean, and comfortable. All of our guests had nothing but nice things to say about their stay and about our wedding! We had our ceremony here as well & it was set up beautifully and organized well.

My husband and I had a picture-perfect wedding at the Oyster Point. We chose The Oyster Point because of its modern feel, amazing food, the beautiful views and the extremely reasonable pricing! They were also able to accommodate and provide exceptional rooms for our many out of town guests. We worked with Bill Murray, and let me tell you, that man has the patience of a saint! He was always available to answer any questions or concerns I had. He was an absolute pleasure to work with! On our wedding day, Cristian was our maître d' and he, too, was wonderful. He ensured that we always had something to eat or drink, was able to coordinate our lively wedding party and made sure our ceremony and reception ran smoothly for us. I really did not have a single worry or stress on my wedding day because of him. I also need to mention that the food is phenomenal! Our guests cannot stop talking about it! You will not go wrong in choosing the Oyster Point. You get picturesque views and exceptional, out-of-this-world service. We cannot thank the Oyster Point enough for an amazing wedding day! - Karina and Michael

We just had our wedding at The Oyster Point Hotel in Red Bank and it was an amazing experience. Everything about that day was perfect and went smoothly. From the very beginning Allison Mercer was in charge of everything and answered all of our questions promptly. She was truly a pleasure to work with. We had a lot of out of town guests and the hotel did an amazing job of accommodating them. We made up bags for each room when our guests checked in and the hotel handled giving them out when each guest checked in. Our guests were extremely impressed with the rooms and views. During the wedding our Mai'tre De Christian was amazing and was there to walk us through the entire day. We are truly thankful for him and the entire staff at The Oyster Point. The food was amazing and all of our guests continue to tell us how great their entrees were. All of the food throughout the day was amazing. We were impressed with the north suite that we stayed in and the bridal party got ready in. The view was beautiful and made the day extra special. We recommend this venue to any couple looking to get married the views and the service made our wedding day memorable. Thank you to The Oyster Point for such an amazing day!

The Oyster Point Hotel was the perfect place for our wedding of 225. It has amazing views of the Shrewsbury River, even when it is raining cats and dogs! Allison, the sales consultant, is amazing at her job and I loved working with her for the 16 months before our wedding. She even came to the wedding day through the ceremony to make sure everything ran smoothly. We had Odelia as our maître d', who was absolutely lovely to work with. She is so kind and calm, and catered to our every need, without being overbearing. The food was top-notch! The packages even include surf and turf, which of course, was a hit with the guests. I am so glad that we had both our ceremony and reception at the Oyster Point Hotel. It was a perfect day.

Working with Oyster Point was everything I expected and then some! Not only was the venue beautiful, the team we worked with (Bill for planning and Paul as our Maitre De) were phenomenal. I could not believe how helpful and responsive they were to every question, interest, and need we had.
What was also reassuring was that so many of our other vendors had commented on how great it was to work with Oyster Point in the past as well. The whole day came together beautifully and I couldn't recommend this venue more strongly!

Oyster Point was fantastic. We had an amazing wedding. Bill and Allison were fabulous. They were very attentive and were always there to answer questions.
The reason I did not give a 5 was because our maître' d was changed 2 days before our wedding. She was just alright. Things I had told her in the pre-wedding day meeting she did not remember and told the vendors the wrong things. She was in the way during the reception. What annoyed me the most was I had to tell her to change the music and shut the doors before I walked down the aisle.
Even with those minor issues the day was still absolutely perfect. I had about 180 people/15 tables and it was just the right amount. Plenty of room to dance and walk around! I would absolutely recommend Oyster Point for your wedding. Just request a different maître' d!

The Oyster Point Hotel was the PERFECT place for our 120 person wedding. The venue is beautiful, the staff is very friendly and helpful, and the food/drinks were amazing.
We worked with Billy Murray from the very beginning and he is awesome! He was extremely helpful throughout the entire process and very responsive to any and all questions we had.
Christian was our maître de and Anne was our server the day of the wedding. They did so much more though! They set up the entire ball room and cocktail room for us because we made our own centerpieces. They far exceeded our expectations in making our “vision” come to life.
The food was great! The filet mignon was cooked perfectly and people were so impressed that it actually came out the temperature they ordered it! The Peking duck station at the cocktail hour was a huge hit. People are still talking about the food that day.
Lastly, the venue is so beautiful and it was great to use the balcony at the cocktail hour. We had the North Suite, which is included in the package and is used as the bridal suite. It was perfect to hang out in before the cocktail hour and they brought up all of the apps and the signature drinks.
I can’t think of one negative thing to say about the Oyster Point, it was the venue and the staff there that really made our wedding day perfect.

Oyster Point Hotel is an extraordinary venue. We had our daughter's wedding there last week and it was truly an exceptional experience.
Our hotel check-in with Andrew was a breeze. He assisted in moving ALL our luggage, boxes with courtesy and a smile.
With only one wedding at a time, you are their top priority.
Our initial discussions with Allison, the banquet manager, to the final reception, everything went smoothly. We cannot say enough about her. She handled every detail and was responsive to our every question. She was always accessible, either through e-mail or in person to address any questions that we had throughout the planning process and being a first time MOB that was important to me.
The Maitre d’ Cristian made sure that all the details, right down to the placing of the favors on the table were done exactly as we wanted. He was attentive and sensitive to my mother-in-law’s special seating arrangement. He even had me (MOB) look at the ballroom before the guests to make sure all was to our satisfaction!
During the reception, the Bride and Groom were his priority! He also made sure the parents were cared for also. We cannot say enough nice things regarding his professionalism, and attentiveness.
Now the food… Our guests are still talking about it. The quality, taste and choices were amazing. The cocktail hour was exceptional, and the raw bar was delicious and fresh. We added Sushi which was amazing! The dinner was excellent. The Filet Mignon was exactly was the guests ordered it…then the wedding cake and the pastry platters were delightful...an end to a perfect wedding.
Thank you Oyster Point, Allison and Cristian for making Our Daughter and new Son-in-Law’s wedding so special and full of memories!
