“I have been coming here since my husband and I discovered this gem of a place last fall. Such a welcoming market with smiling staff and adorable animals. I come here at least three times a week and always leave smiling. I get to interact and feed beautiful new animals like the two (Valais Blacknose rams/ sheep, alpacas, lambs, goats, pigs, donkeys, cows, emus, peacocks, (the most beautiful black swans) and many duck species. These beautiful animals are so friendly with unique, with the most endearing personalities. The property is so clean and maintained. (Thank you Dessa, Rob, Hunter, Wayne, Jeff, Dean, Kenzy, Kim, wow all staff . Bring your significant other, friends, children, grandchildren, and camera because this is an experience that is always enjoyable. Most recently, we purchased the most beautiful Christmas tree. Our tree did not need any trimming, it is perfect.”

“John, Gabby, Jillian, Janine & the entire Spring Lake Manor Team made sure that our event, Spring Lake-Brielle Rotary's Galentine's Fundraiser to benefit Mary's Place by the Sea, was perfect. They were accommodating and helpful throughout the entire planning process. Guests raved about the food and the attention to detail at the event, and that was the direct result of the open communication that we had with the team while planning. It is amazing that we were able to host that many people while receiving a high level of service for a reasonable cost. Value was important, and because the team was aware of our financial constraints, we were able to provide Mary's Place with a sizable donation. I am excited to work with the team again next year-- and for many years to come.”

“Every person must visit this place at least one in their lives.. it was so much fun! Don't see a reason to stay more than a couple hours though

Everything is beautifully maintained”

“As a wedding videographer who frequents many different venues across New Jersey (Paige Wright Media) I have to say that Eagle Oaks is one of the absolute best! There are so many beautiful outdoor settings to take photos and videos, the getting ready spaces indoors are unique, spacious, and very comfortable even for large wedding parties. The outdoor ceremony space, the stunning atrium, and the ballroom are provide different looks and are very grand and beautiful. The food is truly top notch, the facility is very well staffed and clean, and even on the hottest summer day the AC worked perfectly all day so everyone was comfortable. The staff is professional and top notch. You cannot go wrong here!”

“My now-husband and I, and our families, stayed at The James Bradley Hotel for our wedding weekend. I can't say enough positive things about how GORGEOUS and well-manicured the property is. We rented out the bungalow at the back of the property and took our family and first look photos in the back courtyard (my photographer was VERY happy :) ). The bungalow itself was very spacious and our hair /makeup artists were amazed at how much natural light there was inside! The beds were also very comfortable to sleep in, and the air conditioning was FANTASTIC (I like it cold?❄️). The breakfast included was clearly made with care and so fresh- I had one of the best breakfast sandwiches I've ever had here! Our guests stated that the rooms in the main hotel were very comfortable and cozy.

Now, I want to write a review specifically for Emily, the General Manager. She is a true professional- from day 1, she was warm and an absolute delight to work with. She answered all of my millions of questions throughout the planning process and just made me feel at ease. Emily was by far the easiest of our vendors to work with. Everything was perfect and she got every small detail right. Our guests who stayed at the hotel had nothing but amazing things to say about her and the hotel itself. THANK YOU and we will absolutely be back for our anniversary:)”

“ASBURY PARK: a perfect stop for shopping, sipping, and staying cozy indoors with your pup.

Convention Hall is part of the boardwalk, so it follows the same seasonal rules, leashed and friendly dogs are welcome from 9/15–5/15.

Inside you will find a mix of unique shops offering clothing, accessories, home decor, gifts, plus spots to grab coffee, desserts, snacks, and drinks. The open space also hosts a variety of events throughout the year, including the Asbury Park Bazaar that highlight local makers and small businesses.

One note to know before you go: the main sit-down restaurants no longer allow dogs due to the landlord’s rules, but there is still plenty to explore and enjoy with your four-legged friend.”

“I don’t even know where to begin. My husband and I got married at jumping brook on Saturday 3/23/24, and I have no words other than perfection. Our wedding was absolutely perfect. And it poured rain all day long and it still was the perfect day. Diamond and Lady were absolutely perfect. Our drinks were never empty whatever we needed they took care of. Everything was on time and on schedule. I would have my reception there over and over again. We got so many compliments on the food and cocktail hour. It was all flawless! I can’t thank Jumping Brook enough for giving Kenny and I the most perfect day! If you are considering booking here for your wedding, stop considering and book them now, you won’t regret it !”

“We just had our 40th Class Reunion at the Waterview and had a fantastic night at this venue. Suzanne, the booking manager, was a pleasure to deal with from start to finish. She was very accommodating and responsive. The main ballroom with the overlooking balcony was spacious and elegant. The passedhors d'oeuvres and buffet selections were all delicious. The pricing, scenic location and private parking are all perks that make this an ideal location to host events.”

“We just hosted a baby shower at this venue and were so impressed with the entire experience. Seth and Pat provided us with an incredible event that all our guests are raving about. Their flexibility in allowing us to set up before the day of the event was priceless. The service we received during the baby shower from the bartenders to the servers was top notch. The food we were served was fantastic. The setting was warm and welcoming and we are so appreciative to all involved that helped make the special occasion such a success and beautiful memory for us.”

“Attended a pysanky egg workshop. It was a donation based presentation to benefit the injured in Ukraine. The artist was amazing. The cause was wonderful. Kula Farms is environmentally friendly and socially conscious. They have wonderful offerings for workshops in the greenhouse. Very knowledgeable and great community education. I am looking forward to the new indoor gathering space and expanded educational offerings.”

“I recently had my husband's 60th birthday party in the Ballroom. My experience with Nancy & Beverly was to say the least outstanding. I had 70 guests rave about the food! I am so happy I chose to hold this special occasion with the Lobster Shanty. The whole evening ran like clockwork thanks to the staff. Their attention to detail was perfect. And many kudos to the bartender (Forgot his name) he was on his game and entertained the guests like a champ! Thank you so much to everyone that made this event happen for me! On a scale of 1-10 I would give you all a 20!!!”

“Got invited to a show last minute. Amazing venue. Small in a good way. Let's you feel part of the show and close. Ill be honest. Had no clue who the people I went to se before the show. After the show ive been listening to for the last 24 hours. Good location. Security was about expected. Checked bags but didnt go overboard. Bar was nice price. Food even better priced. Ill be back”

“We chose to have a baby shower at the Shore Club this December. Dorina Bregu, Wedding and Events Sales Director was outstanding! She couldn't have been more accommodating. She knows the place and the people she works with, her recommendations were key to making this gathering top notch. At the time of event the staff introduced themselves and checked in throughout to make sure our vision was what they delivered! I was very impressed with the coordination and attentiveness. They put up Christmas trees for us and moved things around seamlessly. Their response time was minutes! The prices were very affordable, family members are considering future events here too.
I understand they are under new ownership, the vibe is positive and promising. Home of the new OLEA restaurant. I wish them all success.”

“Decent hotel that feels clean and comfortable, even if it is not as updated as some other Residence Inn locations. The room had a nice layout with a fireplace and plenty of space to relax. The breakfast area was large and well stocked in the morning.

The only downside was the front desk service. The employee working last night was friendly but very slow, which made check in take longer than it should have. Overall, still a pleasant stay and a solid choice for the area.”
