The Ashford: A Jersey City Wedding Venue With Rooftop Energy

The Ashford is a Jersey City wedding venue in the heart of downtown, blending a glamorous 1920s-inspired interior with a garden-style rooftop and multiple levels of event space. Located just steps from the Grove Street PATH station, it gives couples the energy of a city wedding without making Manhattan part of the address.

Wedding and Event Spaces

The Ashford offers both indoor and outdoor event spaces, so couples can build the day around a rooftop ceremony, cocktail hour, reception or some combination of all three.

Key spaces include:

  • Garden rooftop with gazebo and lounge areas

  • Rooftop capacity up to 400 guests

  • Indoor event capacity up to 650 guests

  • The Veranda for private rooftop gatherings

  • The Balcony with direct rooftop access

  • Multiple indoor event levels

  • Gallery-style dance floor

  • 50-foot ceilings and chandeliers

  • Multiple bars and lounge areas

  • Level Up arcade and entertainment floor for private events

The rooftop is surrounded by greenery and includes a canopy that provides some protection from light rain, giving couples a little more flexibility when the weather decides to participate.

Guest Experience, Catering and Amenities

The Ashford hosts weddings ranging from intimate celebrations to large-scale events and offers private and semi-private spaces throughout the property. Its downtown Jersey City location is convenient for guests coming from New York, with the Grove Street PATH station nearby and Manhattan about seven minutes away by train.

The Ashford offers a setting that is considerably more interested in making an entrance than keeping things understated.
