The Jersey shore has been a popular wedding location choice for New Jersey brides for years. There is something unique about the natural aura of the waterfront alongside a bride on her wedding day- with the rolling waves and sound of the water, an appeal to crave is created. Outdoor ceremonies and ballrooms with waterfront views have become ever so popular. Long Beach Island is an ideal destination wedding location for a bride and groom to experience all the magical aspects associated with a waterfront wedding experience.

Mallard Island Yacht Club, is one of two impressive locations, in the Long Beach Island area that will be sure to appeal to the bride looking for a waterfront wedding location. Surrounded by the natural brilliance of the Barnegat Bay, this destination wedding location proves to be stately yet intimate.

In itself, the prestigious exterior is enough to move you to a satisfied state of mind, with its dynamic red roofing set atop a crisp white structure. Even more so, the presented interior will be sure to amaze brides with its perfect execution of elegance in both the ballroom and bridal suites.

Lastly, The Boathouse is what will be the dealmaker in booking this location for your special day. The Boathouse is a place where couples will exchange their vows amidst the calming breeze of the bay and magnificent waterfront vistas. Just imagine making a grand entrance on a rented yacht to commence your wedding ceremony at this brand new wedding location. The idea is lavish and so is this venue!

Bonnet Island Estate, the second Long Beach Island wedding location, is truly the essence of classical elegance. Inspired by the great coastal mansions along the east coast from Nantucket to Charleston, the estate proves to have a unique feel of grandeur.

The ballroom at this location is what will truly amaze you. It is defined by 30-ft high cathedral ceilings and resembles an inverted hull of a classic sailing ship. Even more so, the ballroom encompasses a perfect number of windows to ensure all-around views of the waterfront to satisfy any bride, groom and guest by day or night.

Even more so, The Boathouse Chapel, although similar in name to Mallard Island’s ceremony site, is one-of-a-kind and known as the jewel of the location. It is an original post and beam barn that gained almost an elite status as it was transported from Vermont to Bonnet Island Estate. Located on its own private island, this destination location will be sure to provide a wedding characterized by seclusion and intimacy.

During the recent economic state, one may think that having a destination wedding, and even more so a waterfront wedding, is unrealistic at this time. However, Merri-Makers Caterers has come up with a solution to put brides and grooms at ease when it comes to the tangible price of their wedding in order for them to focus on what their day is really all about.

In order to ensure solidifying a couples’ love and finding a place to do so in a location that is unique and representative of them, Merri-Makers Caterers has established “A Wonderful Wedding” menu package where the food, beverages and service come out to $99.00 per guest (the price does not include 7% New Jersey Sales Tax). This wedding package is available for usage at the destination wedding location of Mallard Island Yacht Club. Spending a little more on that rented Yacht grand entrance just became a little more realistic!
