The Berkeley Oceanfront Hotel is an Asbury Park wedding venue that has been hosting celebrations on the Jersey Shore for nearly 100 years. It’s a 1925 Beaux-Arts masterpiece designed by Whitney Warren, the same architect behind Grand Central Terminal in New York City. Ten distinct event spaces and 257 guest rooms and suites with Atlantic Ocean views. A rooftop above the ocean. A ballroom with soaring cathedral ceilings and crystal chandeliers. A Palm Court that photographers request specifically. And a Johnny Cash suite because the man himself once lived here. The Berkeley doesn't just have history. It is history.
Ten Event Spaces — One Extraordinary Address
Crystal Ballroom — The crown jewel. Soaring cathedral ceilings, glittering crystal chandeliers, and the kind of grand romantic stage that makes guests catch their breath the moment they walk in. The most dramatic indoor wedding space at the Jersey Shore.
Berkeley Rooftop Lookout — Perched above the Atlantic Ocean with panoramic ocean views and the Asbury Park skyline below. Ceremony at sunset here is one of the most visually extraordinary moments available at any wedding venue in New Jersey. Breezy, cinematic, completely unforgettable.
Versailles Ballroom — Bold black-and-ivory interiors, ornate chandeliers, and oversized windows framing sweeping views of the Atlantic Ocean and Asbury Park beach. For couples who want glamour with the ocean always in the frame.
Palm Court — One of the most sought-after bridal photo locations in Asbury Park. Soaring arched windows, stunning grand chandeliers, and natural light that works from morning through golden hour.
Oval Ballroom — Graceful French doors opening to a private terrace — perfect for outdoor cocktail hours — with a refined interior for ceremonies, receptions, and intimate dinners.
