  • All-inclusive venue packages
  • Offers convenient lodging options

Venue considerations

  • Not for you if you are drawn to more unconventional venues
  • No in-house lighting and sound packages available
  • Not wheelchair accessible
The Shore Club was a cost-effective choice for our wedding venue. The communication with their event coordinator was direct, easy and quick, making planning straightforward. While the venue itself is dated with a basic design, we felt it was a good value for the price. The simple layout allowed us to decorate the space and make it our own for the big day. Guests commented that they enjoyed the food. We had about 170 people in their large ballroom and it was packed. I wouldn’t recommended for parties closer to 200, unless able to max out all tables at 10-12 guests. For couples looking for an affordable venue option without too many frills, The Shore Club offers convenience and practicality.

Chrys Coles Makeup

  • Beauty professional

  • Starts at $1,000
  • Serves Spring Lake, NJ

If you're a bride, you know that things have changed a little bit since the day you got engaged, you started making plans right away and every step it's a roller coaster of emotions that will follow you until your wedding day. Being a bride in the past, I understand the need of being surrounded by professionals that not only provide you with beautiful and organized work but you also treat you as a special person and not just a number.

Awarded Best of Zola
Chrys was more than my hair and make up artist that day. She was my fairy glam mother! She stayed with me all day for touch ups (which my now husband really enjoyed receiving too). She would run over in-between a photo and fix a strand of hair, blotting some sweat, the little things that made my wedding photos truly perfect. There is nothing worse than looking back and wondering why did no one fix that piece! When she wasn't perfecting my look, she was an absolute angel and was helping me walk around with my extra long train and giving me pep talks. When we arrived at the church it all hit me, that the big day was here and I was about to walk down the aisle, she knew exactly what to do and calmed me down while holding a fan to my face for my make up to stay put from tears. She is truly the kindest and most genuine person. I was so lucky to have her with me during that moment! Now... for why you're reading this review, the hair and make up skill. 5 stars!!! Chrys is beyond talented! I loved her work in Instagram and reached out. The truth is, you never know what you're booking in the wedding planning phase. I saw she had an amazing portfolio and was reliable. I can say booking with Chrys was the best wedding planning decision I made! NO NOTES! I'm whole heartedly in love with my look and how it all came out in photos. She took the direction and feedback from the trial and perfected it on my wedding day, I was blown away! I seriously think she was reading my mind! lol. She hit every single detail, she helped mix what I wanted and what would last on a hot June summer day with ease. I felt like a princess! Chrys also did my mothers hair and make up. She's never had it professionally done and is very picky. My mom is OBESSESSED with Chrys and her work. She also said it was the best wedding planning decision I made. After it was all over, we agreed it was so important to have someone who was full of positive and calming energy as you're anxious sitting in the chair all morning. She was exactly what everyone needs on their wedding day. A true full package, a fairy glam mother! XOXOX

DJ Cam truly went above and beyond! As a bride who knows how to micromanage, I never felt that way with DJ Cam. He perfectly captured the music vibe my fiancé and I love and delivered an incredible performance. We wanted the music to naturally draw people to the dance floor without any emcee work, and DJ Cam nailed it with a fantastic set list. He avoided the typical "wedding-y" songs and created the party atmosphere we dreamed of. DJ Cam was super responsive via email, text, and phone, and his fun yet professional demeanor made everything smooth. He arrived early to set up and handle any potential challenges, ensuring a relaxed and enjoyable evening. We felt completely at ease knowing he had everything under control. DJ Cam is not your average DJ—he's the one to deliver an unforgettable party beat!

Wild Hearts NJ

My love for photography was born when I picked up a camera and started shooting street photography as a hobby. This hobby quickly took over my entire life! Thankfully, combined with my editing and retouching skills, I was able to turn my passion into a career. Owning and running Wild Hearts has been the one of my greatest joys! I love truly love capturing your real life moments and emotions. Yes I am organized as hell and type A, but balance that with heavy doses of standing back and just capturing the moment as it’s happening. I feel a real connection with all the wild hearts out there, and would love it if you let me capture yours!

Awarded Best of Zola
Wild Hearts was the best photographer you could ask for on your wedding day! Kamelia is great at communicating throughout the entire process. Ahead of the wedding day we had a comprehensive 45 min conversation before I booked her about vision. She actually helped me get a timeline set up for the day and gave me a list of other recommended vendors which I used to find my hair/makeup stylist. It was very easy because the payments were broken up over time so nothing snuck up on you. About 1 week before my fiancé and I met up with Kamelia over brunch to discuss the locations of all the shots we planned on taking, the color scheme, all family members for those photos, and to get more comfortable with each other. I really appreciated this. The day of the wedding I could ask for nothing better. Kamelia is very organized and kept the whole day running with great direction. It was easy to follow her direction to set up poses and get some candid shots. Allyson was the other photographer and really got along with the groom and the groomsmen. They knew all of the good spots around Asbury Park and the board walk to get photos. The best times that my husband and I had was when it was just us and the photographers walking around Asbury Park Boardwalk. We were all vibing having a great time and I really think that made the photos even better. They are both such lovely and professional individuals to work with and it shows. Both photographers took INCREDIBLE photos. You always want your wedding photos to turn out great but these exceeded my expectations. Every single person at my wedding has nothing but incredible things to say about the photos. I would highly recommend Wild Hearts if you are getting married in or around Asbury Park. They were beyond a pleasure to work with.

He fell in love with wedding photography and the emotion it brought out for everyone involved.

Having a background in hospitality for 20 years Brittany began coordinating the day alongside Mark.

Mark, Brittany, Tom, Kasey. I cannot put into words how amazing this team is, but here I go! Their work is brilliant and speaks for itself! But let me tell you from firsthand experience. From day one, to our engagement shoot, to our wedding day and everything in between, they are the best people to have by your side. Nick and I were always nervous for our photos. Being a gay couple it isn’t always easy feeling like yourselves in front of people, let alone in front of a camera! Not once did we not feel like us. This easily became one of our favorite parts of wedding planning and our wedding day! Don’t overthink. Pick Mark and his team. You deserve to have the best group of people around you. You’ll feel like the luckiest couple with them!

We cannot recommend this team enough, we already are telling our friends getting married that they have to check them out. Also, reasonably priced considering how gorgeous their work is!

Working with Mandy was an absolute dream! For my makeup trial, I gave her a reference photo and she copied it exactly. She took my very minimal comments from the trial and implemented them perfectly for the big day—I’ve never felt so beautiful! I love Mandy’s style because I’m not someone who wears makeup regularly, and she made sure I still felt like myself. She enhanced all my features in such a natural, effortless way. My makeup put stayed all night and looked fantastic in photos. Mandy was also incredibly professional and organized. She provided a detailed timeline for myself, my bridal party, mom and (now) mother-in-law for the wedding day, which was so helpful for coordinating with my hair artist and keeping everything running smoothly. She was always prompt and responsive via email. I can’t recommend Mandy enough!

Awarded Best of Zola
It’s movie magic with Jesse. He is a kind and professional videographer who has experience with a lot of events so even with unexpected things that may come up, he knows how to roll with it and capture your special moments. The quality of his equipment is unreal meaning that it is so sharp and he also has a drone. He traveled from NJ to my Brooklyn wedding and was on time. The package also came with blu-ray DVDs which had chapter bookmarks so we can go to the important moments. But the nicest personal touch was a customized USB drive he sent that had our names engraved! These pics are screenshots from our highlight film. One thing I wish I would have specified is to get more footage of our family and friends - while it was nice to have a focus on us in some moments, I wish we talked through that so I could have soaked in more but I also know the limits to having one videographer. I think he has a separate editing team especially when it’s busy season but it would have been nice to know if he wasn’t the main person stitching it together as we communicated on vision. My lesson learned is stick with the typical 2-month turnaround and don’t try to get it sooner like I did in my contract because he makes really good quality videos but it’ll take time if you want it done right. Overall, you will not regret hiring him for your wedding - you will also feel comfortable around him which is important!

When I’m not shooting weddings around the globe, you’ll find me in Cape May, shopping at my favorite local spots with a coffee in hand or walking on the beach. Family is everything to me and my clients are an extension of that. I could eat tacos daily, adore martinis, and decorate my home with a coastal chic inspiration. As an international photographer, I have the pleasure of traveling and experiencing new coastal towns and culters which brings me so much joy!

Kaitlin Noel & Co. were the perfect wedding photographers for us. From the moment we first spoke with Kaitlin, her communication style was quick, personable, and friendly. She was clearly very knowledgeable about her craft and helped guide us to get the types of photos we were hoping for - from beautiful solo shots to fun family portraits. Kaitlin truly became a part of our whole wedding planning process, and we felt like she cared just as much about making our day special as we did. The quality of her work is top-notch, and we're still in love with our wedding photos years later. Kaitlin is a true professional who is also a wonderful "girl's girl" - she made the whole experience so enjoyable. We couldn't recommend Kaitlin Noel & Co. more highly!

Monica Nguyen Makeup 

5.0

  • Beauty professional
  • Serves Spring Lake, NJ

Monica Nguyen has been a makeup artist for 9 years working backstage at runway shows and on set for fashion, editorial, and commercial shoots. Her career began in the wedding industry, which is still a big part of what she does today. The biggest joy she receives is knowing she is there to pamper and take care of the person sitting in her chair, especially on one of the most important days of their life. No event is too big or too small as she places great importance on each and every one of them.

Awarded Best of Zola
First of all, I discovered Monica’s Instagram page through a mutual friend, who is a stylist at the top of her game (hair). Browsing through Monica’s posts, I immediately loved her work - every look she created was flawless - smooth and natural, while highlighting and accentuating each subject’s best features. And that’s exactly what I wanted for my wedding look - to be my most beautiful, flawless SELF; to look amazing but still look like myself. When I asked my friend/hair stylist for her opinion of Monica’s work, she appropriately referred to it as “true artistry”. Fast forward to my wedding day. After having had one makeup trial with Monica trying to incorporate some of my wedding hues (at my request) months prior, I decided on the morning of my wedding that I wanted to go for a different palette (warm and neutral) and an overall different look. Not only was Monica unphased by this last minute (and, for me, daring) change of plans, but she effortlessly executed the look beyond my expectations. I was admittedly a little nervous when I made the request that morning (I felt bad putting her on the spot like that), but i was confident in Monica’s talent and I was also reassured and calmed by her laid back and warm nature. And it seems that it was all meant to be. I have never looked and felt as beautiful as I did that day. I received countless compliments and to this day am still reminded of how “stunning” I looked, all thanks to Monica. People have sought out her services through me, and I will always keep her on speed dial for special occasions. Six years after having had the pleasure of booking Monica, I still occasionally browse through her portfolio and see that she continues to do it all (from weddings to editorial and fashion week). I’m impressed by her professionalism and humility with all her clients; she’s true to her craft, and gives every client the VIP treatment she believes is deserved.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Maria for my wedding, and I highly recommend her! She was on time, friendly, professional, and made all of us feel so comfortable with being photographed. Our wedding memories are beautifully preserved thanks to her incredible work, and we will cherish these photos for years to come!

Being able to look back, remember the great laughs, and reminisce a particular night is what we all look forward to. Our goal is to help everyone remember one of the best nights by telling your story through our eyes. There is no better compliment than for you to show your loved ones what happened through one of the best days of your lives.

Victor with Victory Photographs was a lifesaver after we had issues with our original photographer and had to find a replacement. He was responsive, kind, and respectful in all of our communications leading up to the big day. On the wedding day itself, Victor struck the perfect balance between guiding us to get great photos while also letting my husband and I enjoy our reception. His friendly demeanor put us at ease. The end results speak for themselves - Victor captured all of the special moments of our wedding beautifully with his high quality work. My husband and I felt relieved knowing we were in good hands with Victor. We'd highly recommend him to any couple looking for a talented, professional photographer who also makes you feel comfortable in front of the camera.

HIiii!! I’m Melissa! I’m a Wedding & Boudoir Photographer based out of Asbury Park, though I’m originally from Florida. I’ve been in the wedding industry since 2017, and I’ve loved every minute of it. I am all about being your hype person, connecting with you and creating an authentic friendship that yields a great experience and amazing photos. I love to capture my couples naturally and authentically, while adding an artistic touch to our photos. I can’t wait to hear from you!!

From the first meet up to the tagging of photos in instagram- Melissa is the best. We went over the run down of who is in what photo groups and she very smoothly helped when there was a last minute change up!! It felt like we had known each other forever! Would 100% book again, hopefully she decides to add maternity shoots in the next couple years!

Porta was an absolute dream to work with for our Halloween wedding! Their communication was always quick, clear, and timely, which was so helpful during the busy planning process. The team went above and beyond to accommodate our guests' dietary restrictions and made the set up and clean up process a breeze. The handle everything from florals, cake and decor.
