    If you're looking for a wedding venue that is truly magical, look no further than The Breakers on the Ocean.

    If you're looking for a wedding venue that is truly magical, look no further than The Breakers on the Ocean. From the moment we stepped foot on the property, we knew it was the perfect place to celebrate our love. The owners of this boutique venue have created something that is absolutely stunning and intimate with beachfront charm and modern grace all within a picture perfect setting in Spring Lake.

    The entire staff are truly exceptional, from the front desk, to the restaurant (Anna & Pepe Chewy) for our many out of town guests, our Welcome Party hostess in the Regency Room (Sandy) and of course the entire wedding crew (Claudia, Sandy, Michelle and all of our servers). They all went above and beyond to make sure our pre-wedding festivities and wedding day were everything we ever dreamed of. We have to give a special shout out to Shannon DiBenedetto, the director of sales who was an absolute lifesaver. She helped us with every detail (beginning to end), from planning the ceremony, suggesting vendors, coordinating the Welcome Party, cocktail hour and reception, and choosing the perfect menu. She was always available to answer our questions and offer her valuable expertise. By the time of our wedding day, we felt like Shannon was a member of our family.

    Our guests are still talking about the amazing time they had, the delicious and plentiful food, the incredible views (we had a cotton candy sunset during our cocktail hour on the terrace!), and how wonderful the staff was.

    We are so grateful to everyone at The Breakers for making our fairy tale wedding come to life. It was truly magical from the beginning to the end. Most couples told us their wedding day flashed before their eyes. For us, we were totally immersed, living in every moment, all made possible by our new family at Breakers. Thank you.

    Simply the BEST

    Our wedding at The Breakers was beyond all of our expectations. Not only did myself and my husband think everything was PERFECT, our guests did too. Everyone raved about the amazing food, the delicious deserts, and how great the bartenders and servers were. Our coordinator, Shannon, was accommodating, easy to work with, gave wonderful suggestions and made everything top notch. Our maître d', Michelle, is simply phenomenal at her job. She made sure the entire day ran smoothly and she did so with such ease and professionalism. Our personal server, Claudia, was attentive, detail oriented and so very kind. The Breakers went above and beyond for us on our special day and we are so grateful we chose such an amazing place to have our wedding. We had the absolute most idyllic wedding day thanks to everyone at The Breakers.

    Classic Venue, wonderful experience

    My daughter’s wedding at the Breakers was simply beautiful and exceeded my expectations. The Breakers is a classic venue that let’s the elegance of Spring Lake and the Atlantic Ocean speak for themselves. The ballroom comfortably held our 165 guests for the ceremony. Everyone loved the cocktail hour on the porch. The service staff was wonderful all day. Shannon was a joy to work with for the many months between booking and the event. She was available in the days leading up to the wedding, and at our side the whole day of making adjustments on the fly – which is saying a lot considering the Breakers is a busy hotel in the beginning of it’s season. I’m really happy with the way the whole event went.

    Love The Breakers on the Ocean!

    We got married at The Breakers on the Ocean and we couldn’t have asked for a more magical day! Sandy was amazing to work with and brought our vision to life. The food was out of this world! Everything from the welcome dinner (a huge shoutout to Larry!)to the post wedding day breakfast was wonderful! Thank you so much!

    My daughter's wedding at The Breakers

    What a wonderful experience we had for our daughter's wedding at The Breakers! Each step of the way we were treated so nicely. There was constant communication and cooperation from everyone we came in contact with! The staff was so pleasant to work with and they were very accommodating to anything we asked for help with. Planning a wedding can be a huge undertaking and having people who care and want your day to be the best it can be, makes all of the difference. Thank you to everyone at The Breakers!

    The Breakers on the Ocean- The Leontes

    My husband and I cannot express how much we loved our experience at The Breakers on the Ocean in Spring Lake, NJ. We worked closely with Sandy and I could not imagine it any other way. Sandy is very hands on and wants to make your day perfect. She is there for any questions and makes herself available to help bring your vision to life. We were able to drop off decor in advance and the staff took care of everything start to finish. The next day we were able to pick up all our belongings.

    The venue style allowed for us to feel intimate and at home while accommodating our 140 guests easily. The food and service was wonderful. We went "jersey shore" from our "sexy" truffle fries and sliders in cocktail hour to a pork roll egg and cheese as late night snack. Having ocean views from the porch, the beautiful parks and charming atmosphere in the surroundings area of Spring Lake is what makes Breakers so unique. We are reliving our favorite day over and over in our photos.

    May Wedding

    What made us decide on the this venue was experiencing the hotel in person, we met with Shannon almost a year ago and got a tour of the venue.
    Her professionalism and kindness was unmatched. We stayed the night in the beautiful rooms and had dinner at the restaurant and the food was absolutely amazing. We knew almost immediately this was where we wanted to get married. Fast forward a year and the big day finally arrives and because of Shannon and her team things ran so smoothly, everything was absolutely perfect. The cocktail hour on the porch with the beautiful ocean view was unmatched. We could not have asked for a more amazing day. Everyone was always super helpful and professional. Thank you so much to everyone at the Breakers for making our wedding day so special.

    Awesome wedding weekend at Breakers on the Ocean

    We celebrated our daughter’s wedding at the Breakers last weekend and couldn’t be happier with our choice. Working with Sandy on all the details was a dream! She made everything easy for us. From the rehearsal dinner to the wedding ceremony and reception, as well as the breakfast the next morning - everything was top notch and exactly what we had hoped for. Sandy, Sondra and Michelle, as well as everyone of the staff were all instrumental in making the vision into reality. No detail was overlooked - the food was delicious and the service was wonderful. We can’t say enough how very happy we were with the entire wedding weekend and we feel like we’ve made new friends along the way.

    Beautiful Venue with an Incredible Staff

    Our wedding weekend at the Breakers was everything we hoped for and so much more! The venue’s beautiful ballroom was perfect for our indoor ceremony and our guests loved stepping out onto the veranda that overlooks the ocean during cocktail hour. Being able to get ready in our hotel rooms was so convenient and there was plenty of space for our wedding party and vendors. We loved getting to check in on Friday and not having to leave until Sunday. We held our rehearsal dinner, ceremony/reception, and next-day brunch all at the venue, so the whole weekend truly felt like a destination wedding. From our very first meeting with Sandy, we knew we were in good hands. She took the time to really get to know us and worked with us through every step of the process. She and her team flawlessly executed our vision and went above and beyond to ensure that every detail was taken care of so that we could focus on celebrating with family and friends. We had the time of our lives and our guests raved about the gorgeous location and delicious food. We are so happy with our choice, and Sandy and the Breakers will always have a special place in our hearts!

    Having my daughter Julia's wedding at The Breakers Hotel was stress free and an calming experience. Unbelievable staff and very friendly

    The moment my daughter and now husband walked into The Breakers they were met with congratulatory on the engagement. Asked what they envisioned for their day. Went for a tour and was not being rushed and went through a complete timeline of a wedding. They both had tears in their eyes and booked right then and there. It was the first and only Venue they had been to but they new in their hearts this was the perfect venue for them. And it was we could not have changed one thing about that day it was truly was a stress free beautiful wedding!

    A Perfect Wedding

    You're doing yourselves a disservice to not at least visit this venue. Shannon, Michelle, and the rest of the wedding team at The Breakers make the entire experience as stress-free as possible. The two reception areas are incredible, the food is amazing, and you overlook the ocean the entire night. At least pay them a visit and see what they have to offer.

    The most perfect venue!

    The Breakers was the PERFECT place for our wedding and had everything we were looking for! Not only was it affordable, but the food was delicious and the views were better than we could have imagined. Our guests raved about the views of the beach as they enjoyed the cocktail hour on the outside terrace! We worked with Shannon and Michelle who worked tirelessly to ensure our wedding day was nothing but amazing (even after we had to postpone due to covid!). The Breakers is truly a hidden gem among Jersey Shore wedding venues and we cannot recommend this venue enough!

    Breakers is Fantastic

    The Breakers was absolutely FANTASTIC from the moment we booked them for our wedding reception, throughout our COVID postponement, and until the day we were finally able to celebrate in October- a year after our original celebration. From the outset Shannon was a pleasure to work with and incredibly accommodating to all of our requests. The Breakers truly treats you like family and we couldn't have been happier that we stayed throughout the weekend and hosted our post-wedding brunch as well. As a COVID bride who had several other friends planning to get married during 2020-2021, I've heard so many horror stories of venues screwing over couples. Not the Breakers- they were the absolute best at communicating, rebooking us, and making everything seamless. The day of our wedding Michele was phenomenal as our maître d’ coordinating with our vendors and assisting myself and my husband throughout the day. The food was delicious and plentiful, our guests kept commenting on how good it was. The top shelf open bar was also one of our priorities when we were looking at venues- and the Breakers has it all without an extra charge for premium liquors. There is a reason why there are so many five-star reviews!! Don't hesitate to book this beautiful oceanside venue.

    Breakers on the Ocean was amazing!!!

    The Breakers on the Ocean was a perfect venue for our wedding! From the beautiful ballroom to the delicious food to the amazing staff and the gorgeous ocean view, The Breakers made this an unforgettable experience. Our wedding coordinator, Eileen, was absolutely INCREDIBLE to work with. She was very accommodating to what we needed every step of the way-she even had the hotel hold off from putting out Halloween decorations so they weren't in the pictures (per my wife's request haha). The owners of the hotel are also AMAZING people! They gave us complementary drinks and made us feel special the entire weekend we were there and even in the following months. They recently posted a picture of my wife and her bridesmaids on International Women's Day, which made her day. My wife and I also stayed there for a few nights and the ocean view suite we stayed in was fantastic. Overall, our experience here was amazing and we highly recommend The Breakers to any couple considering this venue for their big day!

    The Breakers is the PERFECT Wedding Venue!

    The Breakers on the Ocean in Spring Lake is the PERFECT wedding venue. We as the bride's family and all of our guests were given the utmost attention from everyone who works there!! The staff were extremely helpful, friendly and happy to help in any way possible, including Sandra helping this mother of the bride bustle my daughter's wedding dress!!!

    The Breakers truly went out of their way to make sure every detail was perfect, from sending ice to the bridal suite while getting ready, replenishing the many tasty appetizers at the cocktail reception, serving up bountiful amount of delicious food at the wedding reception and giving every guest personalized attention throughout the entire evening.

    My daughter the bride, her husband the groom and so many of our family and friends remarked what a special wedding we were blessed to have at the Breakers!!

    We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would strongly recommend anyone considering a wedding to look no further and book this beautiful wedding venue. You could easily spend much more elsewhere and not get the unforgettable day we shared at the Breakers.

    Perfect venue and location!

    "My husband & I had a beautiful fall wedding at the Breakers on the Ocean. We were looking for local elegance and charm with great service and food! We found all of this at the Breakers. An important deciding factor for us was the ability to make our wedding day simple and less stressful by having everything we needed in one spot. The Breakers was the perfect choice for us because we were able to have our ceremony, reception and post-wedding brunch all at the same venue. Additionally, the Breakers is a hotel so we were able to accommodate a large majority of our guests onsite. We received so many compliments on not only on the venue itself but also its location. I do love the beach, but I did not consider myself a beach bride. The Breakers offers multiple options for both the ceremony as well as pictures. We got married inside the venue but had beautiful pictures taken on the beach and down the street in the gorgeous Divine Park. Being in such a great area with strong local affiliations we were even offered free trolley transportation from a local bar for an after party which was a total hit for those that were interested.

    The staff, specifically the event coordinators Eileen and Shannon, were always very accommodating. I felt they truly cared about our wants and needs. They were always very prompt with their response time, helpful with all of our questions and just very patient and kind overall. Molly at the hotel’s front desk was especially helpful and went above and beyond to be sure the hotel could accommodate my handicap brother appropriately. This meant so much to me!

    Many of our guests commented on how much they loved both the food and our cake! The bakery they are affiliated with, the Chocolate Carouse, was delicious. Our wedding was an all-around great experience, and we can’t thank the Breakers enough for helping to make our wedding day the best day of our lives." - Kim S.
