Modern Coastal Was The Vibe at This Wedding at Crystal Point Yacht Club

When Alyssa and Aaron chose Crystal Point Yacht Club in Point Pleasant for their September 27, 2024 wedding, it was an easy call—the modern waterfront venue, with its sweeping views of the Manasquan River, matched exactly the coastal romantic vision they had in mind. Beautifully photographed by Ralph Deal Photography, the celebration was timeless and family-focused from start to finish: elegant white florals by Ivy on Main Floral, candlelit tablescapes, a custom seating chart, a generations of love table, and a memory table honoring those who couldn’t be there. The reception was the highlight—once the formalities were done, the couple hit the dance floor with everyone they love, by the water, and didn’t stop until the night was over.

Their Story

Alyssa and Aaron’s story began on Hinge, where a simple match led to something truly special. Their first date took place in Highlands, and from that moment on, their connection was effortless. They quickly realized they shared the same personality: easygoing, fun-loving, and deeply family-oriented.

The Proposal

When it came time to propose, Aaron chose a place that felt just right—his aunt’s private beach in Sea Bright. With the ocean as their backdrop and Alyssa’s beloved dog, Yogi, by their side, he got down on one knee and asked her to spend forever with him. The moment was intimate, meaningful, and perfectly them.

Favorite Moment

Advice For Other Couples

“Focus on what actually matters to the two of you and try not to get overwhelmed by outside opinions. The planning process goes by quickly, so make time to enjoy being engaged together. Also, stay organized early, trust your vendors, and leave room in the timeline to actually enjoy your wedding day with family and friends.”

Honeymoon

“We honeymooned in Hawaii from September 30th through October 15th. We spent the trip relaxing on the beach, exploring different islands, trying local food, and enjoying time together after the wedding. It was the perfect mix of adventure and downtime after such an exciting weekend.”
