Stuart & Joel
Visiting Asbury
Asbury Park Boardwalk
Spend the day on the beach or explore the boardwalk which features a lot of great bars, music, and restaurants. Grab Stuart's favorite boardwalk treat - a rum bucket or Joel's - a vanilla chip Ralph's Italian Ice.
The Stone Pony
Arguably one of the greatest rock venues on earth, The Stone Pony has been the anchor of the Asbury Park music scene they opened their doors back in 1974.
Asbury Park Beach
Not only is this beach the location for one of Joel and Stuart's first dates, but Money Magazine also ranked Asbury Park as the second-best beach destination in the U.S. To go on the beach during the day you must Purchase a beach pass on the boardwalk. Passes usually cost $5 and are cash only.
Cookman Avenue
Cookman Avenue is Asbury Park's main downtown drag. Hit up the local restaurants, bars, boutiques, and antique shops. Stop into Confections of a Rockstar for a sweet treat and a preview of the wedding cake! If the shop owner, Kimee, is around tell her you're here for the wedding!
Asbury Park Convention Hall
Check out the building that will be in the background of the wedding ceremony. The Convention Hall, along with the adjacent Paramount Theatre and the Grand Arcade connecting the two, is one of the most majestic landmarks on the Jersey Shore. Over the years, this historic entertainment venue has hosted legendary performances by Bruce Springsteen, Elton John, Frank Sinatra, and the Rolling Stones, just to name a few. The Convention Hall extends over the beach and boasts a state-of-the-art stage area, spacious arena floor and a capacity of up to 3,600 guests.
