As a New Jersey wedding photographer, these are some of my favorite Asbury Park wedding venues. All of them are within easy distance of the best photo locations on the boardwalk.

Alternatively, you can say your vows in the event tent which is then transformed into your reception space. With it being a large hotel, your guests can book a room here and easily head back to their room at the end of your wedding.
