Looking for easy planning and a worry-free wedding day? Consider what we call the all-in-one wedding venue, complete with outdoor and indoor ceremony sites, a large reception space and overnight accommodations for your guests.
Throw in gardens for your pictures and unique restaurants or bars for your rehearsal dinner, after-party or post-wedding brunch, and you’ve got the ideal wedding location.
These one-stop venues take on the feeling of a wedding weekend, since your guests are staying in the same location and following the same itinerary as you for their entire stay. And these wedding venues eliminate the need for transportation—for both you and your guests. Welcome baskets, weekend itineraries and group activities, however, are all highly recommended.
Here are some hotel wedding venues in New Jersey for your all-in-one wedding weekend:
1. The Albion Summit
Summit
In 2024, Landmark Venues reopened the historic Grand Summit Hotel as the Albion Summit. The unique hotel and wedding venue—where old-world charm meets a modern edge—can host up to 225-guest affairs. It boasts a two-story double-sided fireplace, eight antique brass geometric custom chandeliers and an open-kitchen cocktail hour space. Couples can opt for either an indoor or outdoor ceremony. There are 100 hotel rooms for guests. The property’s Felina Summit (joining Felina Steak in Jersey City and Felina Ridgewood) serves upscale Italian comfort food.
2. American Beauty at Embassy Suites
Berkeley Heights
Don’t let the Embassy Suites title fool you. This chic property in Berkeley Heights is one of our favorite finds and truly offers it all: a two-acre ceremony venue with floral gardens and 500-seat amphitheater, neutral American Beauty ballroom with 18-foot-ceilings, a bridal suite, man cave for the guys, outdoor patios, suites and complimentary breakfast for your guests, the most beautiful Starbucks we’ve ever seen, gourmet menus, affordable prices and the trendy Grain & Cane restaurant for your after-party or rehearsal dinner. In recent years the venue added a gorgeous glass-enclosed “Glass House” ballroom that seats 150.
3. Berkeley Oceanfront Hotel
Asbury Park
This historic grand Beaux Arts hotel offers the best of both worlds. Its multiple grand ballrooms with gorgeous architecture are just steps from the beach and all the fun that Asbury Park has to offer. Get married on the beach or on the Berkeley’s rooftop deck that overlooks the ocean and town. You have many spots to choose from for all of your wedding events. And with 238 rooms for your guests, everyone can stay under the same roof and walk to everything.
4. Breakers on the Ocean
Spring Lake
Spring Lake’s only oceanfront hotel offers ceremonies on its historic seashore Victorian inn’s front porch, or arrange to hold your wedding ceremony at the beach across the street.

Château Grande manifests the grandeur of the Belle Epoque or the sleek chic of mid-century motifs, in some cases a combination of the two. Meanwhile, the Park Château Estate & Gardens, located on the same property, accommodates larger weddings.
