Travel

We can't wait for you to come to NJ! Make a trip out of it by visiting New York City, taking your chances in Atlantic City, or simply spending some extended time at the beach. Although the wedding is in Middletown/Sandy Hook. We are recommending our guests stay the weekend near Asbury Park/Ocean Grove so they can enjoy what life at the Jersey shore is truly about (the venue is a bit more remote.) Unfortunately, no hotels in Asbury or Ocean Grove would take room blocks so below we have some recommendations and options. We were able to get room blocks at two hotels further west but the locations are not as nice/ convenient as staying in town. Details on each are below. Buses to and from the venue will be provided because it is about a 40 minute drive away from the Asbury Park area (exact details on the bus pickup location coming soon) We hope you're able to experience the local area while in town because as Bruce Springsteen would say..."down the shore everything's alright"

House Or Rental

VRBO/Airbnb/Home Away

House Rentals are a great option! Get some friends and rent a beach house. We recommend securing your rental ASAP as Asbury & Ocean Grove are very popular tourist destinations and the homes are rented out quickly. Other nearby towns to consider a house rental are: Ocean Grove, Bradley Beach, Allenhurst and Loch Arbor. Have questions about location? Don't hesitate to reach out to Amy or Brenton we are happy to help! If no homes are available the Ocean Grove bed and breakfast/boutique hotels are a great affordable alternative.

Hotel

Berkeley Oceanfront Hotel

1401 Ocean Avenue
Asbury Park, NJ 07712
 (732) 776-6700

The Berkeley is a Historic beachfront property in arguably the BEST location in Asbury Park- truly the best. If you stay at the Berkeley nearly everything you'll want to do is in walking distance (minus our actual wedding!) We love the Berkeley and think you will too, however we've noticed the Google reviews have been negative as of late so we advise you to book based on your own research. Bus transportation will be provided to and from the Asbury Area near the Berkeley for the wedding (about a 40 minute drive).

Hotel

The Asbury Hotel

210 Fifth Avenue
Asbury Park, NJ 07712
 (732) 481-0713

This hotel is one of Brenton and Amy's favorites. We sometimes go here to work out of the lobby since it's a short bike ride from Amy's parents' house. While a bit on the pricey side, there are some unique options (rooms that sleep 4) to make it a little more affordable. The location, right across the street from the Berkeley and Ocean Club is also ideal for exploring Asbury Park and this hotel has an awesome lobby, pool, and rooftop bar. This spot will likely book quickly but as of May, there appear to be some rooms left.

Hotel

Asbury Ocean Club Hotel

1101 North Ocean Avenue
Asbury Park, NJ 07712

Feeling boujee? This brand new hotel is absolutely stunning. While room rates are a bit outrageous, the property is across from the Berkley in a beautiful location. Brenton & Amy will be staying here the night of the wedding if you want to join!

Neptune Township, NJ 07753

The closest hotel to Asbury Park that would take a room block is the Holiday Inn Express on Hwy 66. We were able to secure rooms for $299 a night. To book, call the hotel directly at 732-922-9600 and press 0 to reach the front desk and mention the Reppy/Pagano room block.

Hotel

The Molly Pitcher Inn

88 Riverside Avenue
Red Bank, NJ 07701
 (732) 747-2500

The Molly Pitcher (about 30 minutes from Sandy Hook and about 20 minutes from Asbury Park) allowed us a small room block. The rates at this hotel are much more affordable than those by the beach but there will not be transportation to the venue from this location provided by us (you can Uber) This hotel is located in Red Bank which does have a lot of bars, restaurants, and things to do locally. *Must book by May 6th 2022 before rooms are released* Call reservations at 732-747-2500

Flight

Newark Airport (EWR)

Newark is the closest Airport to Asbury Park, where we recommend our guest stay. You can also hop on a train from the airport that will take you to the Jersey shore so you don't have to rent a car or Uber. If you're planning to visit New York, this airport is an option however you also may want to consider flying directly into the City at either JFK or LaGuardia. If you do use Newark to get to NYC, you can take a train into Penn Station from the Newark Airport.

Flight

Atlantic City Airport (ACY)

AC is a tiny little airport about 1 hour and 20 mins south of Asbury Park. It's a is a further drive than Newark but might be a good option if you're interested in exploring Atlantic City. There are not any good public transportation options from AC so you would likely need to rent a car.

Flight

Trenton-Mercer Airport (TTN)

Trenton-Mercer Airport is another small and easy airport to navigate. They have limited flight options but sometimes you can score a good deal. This airport is about a 40 minute drive so you would need to rent a car.

Train

NJ Transit

NJ transit is a great way to get to and from Newark Airport. If traveling from Newark Airport, list Newark (EWR) as the Origin. You can list your destination as Asbury Park but you will likely have to transfer trains in Long Branch. Some people prefer to get off at Long Branch and Uber from there. Note that it's possible there are transfers in other towns.
