Seaside Ceremonies

Looking for a simple beach wedding? Then my exclusive Seaside Package may be just what you are looking for!
​It's a Micro-Wedding on the beach! Enjoy a simple and beautiful wedding at the Jersey Shore, surrounded by sun, sand and waves breaking on the beach.

This package special package is fo the couple and 50 guests or less. The cost is $425 ($525 with my decorations). It is meant to be a simple and carefree ceremony. Think Pop-Up Wedding or Micro Beach Wedding! 

Having more than 50 guests! That's not a problem, I have a  
Standard Package perfect for you. Yes, you can add the decorations onto any package.

​Most of my couples like to use  one of the beautiful Bay Head or Mantoloking Beaches. I am happy to use any local beach of your choosing. Please see my list of local beaches. * It is the couples responsibility for obtaining permission from the town to use the beach for your wedding.
 
Most beaches are available before 9:00 am or after 6:00 pm if the date falls in between Memorial Day and Labor Day. Off season any time of day is fine. Perhaps you would consider a sunrise ceremony! It may be early, but it is a beautiful way to greet the new day!
 
Please note that this package includes 40 miles round trip from Brick, mileage beyond that is charged $1.65 per mile.
​
Let the beauty of the vast Atlantic Ocean and its waves splashing upon the shore provide the perfect backdrop for your ceremony or you may choose to bring some decorations to set up beforehand.
 
If you would like, for an additional fee of $100 (Total $525). I will arrive early and set up my tiki torches and star fish/seashell aisle, or you may prefer my tropical flower aisle. I also offer my Aloha Circle. This is a simple circle of tropical silk flower garland that the couples stand inside of with a decorative tiki torch on either side.

Below are my decorations that I offer to set up for an additional $100
Please note: I do not provide chairs.

Some Helpful Information About Bay Head Beaches

Bay Head is a picturesque shore town located between Point Pleasant Beach and Mantoloking

The beaches are usually free for us to use off season, however during the “Summer Season” between Memorial Day and Labor Day they are available only before 9:00 am or after 6:00 pm.

It is the couples responsibility to get permission to use the beach for thier wedding from Bay Head Improvement association (732) 892-4179.
The most popular beach entrances are Howe Street (corner of Howe and Ocean Ave) because of the jetty, it makes it pretty for photos. Karge Street Beach entrance (intersection of Karge and Ocean Ave) and Bridge Ave (intersection or Bridge and Ocean Ave) are also popular.

Usually the guests stand, however if you would like to set up chairs the couple must request permission from BHIA (732) 892-4179.
Bay Head Beach Rules: Beach use is on a first come first serve basis. The following items are not permitted: Tents, Arches, Food, and Beverage-No Alcohol. You must clean up after yourselves immediately after your ceremony. New rule as of 2014; no smoking on the beach! For more information call BHIA or the town of Bay Head NJ

If you are looking for a place to celebrate afterwards, Bay Head and Point Pleasant Beach (less than a mile from each other) have some very nice venues and depending on their availability you may even be able to use them as a backup location in case of inclement weather.

Here are some of my favorites:

Walking distance from Karge Beach in Bay Head is The Grenville Hotel and Restaurant 732-892-3100
Also walking distance from Bay Head Beach is Theresa’s South 732-892-1555

Ceremony planning tools:
Sunrise and Sunset Calendar

If you are interested in a reception venue located right on the beach that would allow you to have a beach ceremony (They provide the chairs etc..) and then the convenience of walking off the beach into your reception- see my list of favorite Beach Venues.
