Breakers on the Ocean

every step of the uncertainty as we approached our date and could not plan our big day as we had initially hoped. Due to the unprecedented circumstances and ever-changing guidelines, we made the difficult decision to drastically downsize our wedding and opted for an offsite event in the comfort of our yard. We had wanted to keep The Breakers as part of our day and had asked if they’d be willing to switch gears and provide offsite services— catering, staff, etc. for our event. They agreed to the challenge, as they don’t typically provide offsite services, and they made it happen!!! The timeline was tight (~5 weeks) to replan and ensure that we could still have The Breakers wedding we wanted, even if it looked much different than our original plan. The team was so involved throughout the planning process and truly gave it their all to make this work— and they absolutely knocked it out of the park!!! The day of went so smoothly thanks to the amazing team Sandy put together and we cannot thank them enough. The service was FANTASTIC, the food was delicious, they kept safety at the forefront of the event, the team remained on top of all details, left everything spotless, and our guests were totally blown away (as were we). Overall such an amazing experience. I am SO grateful to Sandy and the team for everything that went into this day! No one could believe that this was not a “typical” Breakers service offering. We are so so grateful and happy with our experience with The Breakers on our wedding day. They took the stress and anxiety over planning (and re-planning) this event and made sure we got everything we wanted regardless of the change in plans. Incredible team and experience, 10/10 recommend!!! Thanks for everything!

riginal wedding date was 4/24/20 and we had to postpone due to COVID. We rescheduled to 10/18/20 thinking everything would be ok- and it’s not. We shared our concerns with the breakers on the mandated no indoor dining and their empathy for us was unmatched. Unfortunately, because the Breakers did not have an outdoor option available for us, we made the decision to switch wedding venues (and downsize). This was heartbreaking for us but being the spectacular venue that they are- we received a full refund. We have heard horror stories about venues not giving back money and we are so thankful that we didn’t fall into that category. We are so disappointed that we cannot have our wedding at our dream venue but we hope to let everyone know who reads this that if you choose this venue you will be treated like family from day one. And in today’s world, what more could you ask for? Thank you Breakers (Shannon, Eileen, Sandy, Molly and Caesar particular) for an unforgettable experience in the best way possible.

re our new coordinator and our original coordinator was no longer employed at the venue. That was something that would have been nice to know ahead of time as we were completely caught off guard during our tasting. We also felt “lost” during our food tasting as we felt the venue didn’t explain how many items we could try, how many items we could pick for the reception, etc. We were hoping someone could sit with us an explain the various options however, we felt as we were just another number and felt as we were dismissed during the tasting. When had to push our wedding from May to August due to Covid 19 we spoke to several employees and finally the owner of The Breakers directly regarding room rates. We were unable to have our original hotel room rates acknowledged (as the price was doubled for the exact same rooms in August). We attempted to reach a compromise and even asked if we could be offered a percent off the price of the room vs. the May price however, we were told that was not an option and if we wanted comparable rates would have to push out wedding back to November (when the only date available was Thanksgiving weekend) or December. We decided on August as that was one of the first available date and we wanted to get married as soon as possible as we were still upset we had to push our date back from May due to Covid. During the entire planning process we felt that all the employees at The Breakers were either condescending when speaking to us or treated us like we were “just another wedding” and we felt they lack any of type of individualization or 1-1 connection. I will say, when we finally had enough and decided to go elsewhere we were fully refunded our money due of the government shutdown but that is because that was clearly written our contract. I do not recommend!

g I was stress free as Shannon the Wedding Coordinator with help from the staff handled all vendors so I could get ready stress free. We took our wedding photos on the beautiful Spring Lake Beach & Boardwalk. The ceremony, cocktail hour and reception went on without a hitch. All of the little details I asked for were completed 100%. The day was everything I could have imagined and the staff was truly incredible. As the bride, I had a personal server for my reception and truly felt like a Queen. Not to mention the guests raves about the food! The small details and hospitality really made The Breakers stand out! Couldn’t have been any better!

en, was absolutely INCREDIBLE to work with. She was very accommodating to what we needed every step of the way-she even had the hotel hold off from putting out Halloween decorations so they weren't in the pictures (per my wife's request haha). The owners of the hotel are also AMAZING people! They gave us complementary drinks and made us feel special the entire weekend we were there and even in the following months. They recently posted a picture of my wife and her bridesmaids on International Women's Day, which made her day. My wife and I also stayed there for a few nights and the ocean view suite we stayed in was fantastic. Overall, our experience here was amazing and we highly recommend The Breakers to any couple considering this venue for their big day!

n any way possible, including helping this mother of the bride bustle my daughter's wedding dress!!! The Breakers truly went out of their way to make sure every detail was perfect, from sending ice to the bridal suite while getting ready, replenishing the many tasty appetizers at the cocktail reception, serving up bountiful amount of delicious food at the wedding reception and giving every guest personalized attention throughout the entire evening. My daughter the bride, her husband the groom and so many of our family and friends remarked what a special wedding we were blessed to have at the Breakers!! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would strongly recommend anyone considering a wedding to look no further and book this beautiful wedding venue. You could easily spend much more elsewhere and not get the unforgettable day we shared at the Breakers.

m start to finish & made all our hopes & dreams for a beautiful wedding come true!!! The venue is so gorgeous inside & out with panoramic views of the ocean as a backdrop to their stunning hotel...probably the best along the Jersey shore!! The pre-wedding plans were made so easy, pleasant & every detail was discussed. The day of the wedding was beyond my dreams for my daughter's wedding..the cocktail hour was held in the spacious main dining room , we then moved to the beautiful Crystal Room..the food was delicious, the wait staff was amazing & all our family & friends still rave about the entire event!! Most of us then stayed in the hotel after the wedding..the rooms were so lovely & again with amazing views from every room!! I highly recommend having any event you may be planning at the Breakers...the Scardino family, their wonderful staff & this gorgeous hotel will give you an event that will make your dreams come true, give you a day you will love & memories you will treasure forever!!! Thank you , Thank you to everyone at the Breakers for giving us the BEST WEDDING EVER!!!

fect! I highly recommend this venue if you are looking for a beautiful venue on the beach with great staff!

te! Thank you Breakers for making our wedding a night to remember forever! Simply the best!

ke our wedding day simple and less stressful by having everything we needed in one spot. The Breakers was the perfect choice for us because we were able to have our ceremony, reception and post-wedding brunch all at the same venue. Additionally, the Breakers is a hotel so we were able to accommodate a large majority of our guests onsite. We received so many compliments on not only on the venue itself but also its location. I do love the beach, but I did not consider myself a beach bride. The Breakers offers multiple options for both the ceremony as well as pictures. We got married inside the venue but had beautiful pictures taken on the beach and down the street in the gorgeous Divine Park. Being in such a great area with strong local affiliations we were even offered free trolley transportation from a local bar for an after party which was a total hit for those that were interested. The staff, specifically the event coordinators Eileen and Shannon, were always very accommodating. I felt they truly cared about our wants and needs. They were always very prompt with their response time, helpful with all of our questions and just very patient and kind overall. Molly at the hotel’s front desk was especially helpful and went above and beyond to be sure the hotel could accommodate my handicap brother appropriately. This meant so much to me! Many of our guests commented on how much they loved both the food and our cake! The bakery they are affiliated with, the Chocolate Carouse, was delicious. Our wedding was an all-around great experience, and we can’t thank the Breakers enough for helping to make our wedding day the best day of our lives.

. We looked about a year in advance and The Breakers was our first venue we checked out. We wrote the deposit that night without even looking at other venues. The both the passed and tray appetizers were delicious as well as the meals. We got chicken française, pistachio crusted sea bass, and filet mignon as entrees. Everything was great. The staff was courteous and extremely accommodating and made the event stress-free. Sandra in particular was tasked with taking care of any needs my wife and I had. She was awesome. Everyone told us it was one of the best weddings ever. We heard afterwards we actually drank all the beer in the venue! I wouldn't have changed anything.

h a perfect day I feel fortunate that all went "as planned." Cosmo and his sons had a "hands on" approach but let their qualified staff take care of everything. My beautiful bride and I were treated so well by Shannon, Eileen, Michelle, Terri and Cesar. Let's start with the place. WOW! So pretty and classy. The colors of the hall matched our feeling of the ocean. The room was set up so nice...perfect. And the Cocktail Hour was in the wrap around deck. And the view of the Atlantic Ocean--what can I say...wonderful! The food: my guests raved about the food. The cocktail hour had so many delicacies like bacon wrapped scallops and filet mignon toast. And the main courses offered were very nice: prime rib, chicken francaise and poached salmon. All...to die for...my end cut prime rib was the best I've had. The manager of the wedding itself, Michelle, was super. Just cool, calm and collected. She must have handled anything that came up since we saw no "issues." She guided us every step of the way. Our sales managers, Terri and Eileen, were precise and covered all bases. We followed their timetable and we had a very smooth day. They were professional and were always "upbeat." Finally, the hotel manager, Cesar, was so helpful to us and our guests. Our rooms were outstanding with a great view of the ocean. I highly recommend The Breakers. Our day was perfect thanks to Cosmo, Anthony, Joey and their wonderful staff. Thank you all.

iends even want to get married here now! thank you guys for everything !

ss. They pay attention to every detail and they turn your dream day into a reality. Everything about The Breakers, the hotel rooms, ceremony, cocktail hour and reception was perfect. Our family and friends are still raving about the food and atmosphere. Our wedding is something that will be forever in our memory and we are eternally grateful for the Breakers and everyone involved that made our dream day the best day ever!

ade this process a lot less stressful! We had a few things that made our wedding day unique and it all went off without a hitch. For that we are forever grateful. The food was raved about and the location.....well that speaks for itself!

licious. Shannon did a great job of helping along the entire way. On the day, Donna made sure we had everything we needed and made sure it was running smoothly.

and myself and all the guests were happy and satisfied. The wait staff, especially Mary, took care of our every need- sometimes before we even knew we needed something!!!- and was attentive to our guests as well. The overnight stay- check in and out was easy and simple and we really enjoyed the hotel room- simple, comfortable, great view and very clean. I highly recommend this venue to all looking for a wonderful venue for the best day.

cean and decided to stop in ... just on a whim that they might let us look around. And thankfully we did! As soon as we walked through the doors, my wife and I were captivated by the coziness and elegance of the Breakers, accented by all the natural light beaming in through the windows. We checked with the front desk about taking a look around and they instead offered to sit us down with their Wedding Manager, Eileen Barnetti. Before we walked out of the building that day, Eileen had felt like a family member we've known our whole life. She literally stopped what she was doing (which was preparing for an on-site conference scheduled later that day) to sit down with us and show us the entire hotel and wedding ballroom. We fell in love with the Breakers immediately, but it was Eileen's sincerity and genuine affection that made the decision for us - we were booking here. As we continued to meet more of the Breakers staff, we cannot say enough nice things about their friendliness and patience. Eileen and her team were *always* available to answer questions (even on her days off) and made sure to accommodate any request we had - no matter how big, small, or silly. When our big day finally arrived, we were treated like royalty. Our maitre d, Michelle, was flexible and worked with us to make sure we had time to enjoy ourselves. She effortlessly managed all of our vendors and adjusted our schedule on-the-fly to accommodate us -- never once did she try rushing us or breaking the flow of the night to adhere to a predefined itinerary. She made it *our* night. We elected to go with a buffet style dinner after passed Hors d'oeuvres during our cocktail reception. The passed hors d'oeuvres were frequent, plentiful, and every plate had a variety of options to choose from. Nobody ever had to look hard to grab a snack. Our buffet was hot, delicious, and loaded with more options than we knew what to do with. Our guests commented at how generous the portions were and thanked us for the flexibility of eating when they were ready (not to take away from the dance floor). Even as our night winded down, the staff at the Breakers continued to make themselves available. They arranged transportation for nearly two dozen guests to a local bar for an "after party" and were quick to help others to the rooms. They were even so generous as to pack to-go container for my wife and I and deliver additional food to our room, just in case we didn't get a chance to eat during the wedding (which, of course, we didn't). The Breakers on the Ocean is a beautiful hotel/ballroom combination that offers everything you need for your wedding right in one place. But there are beautiful venues everywhere. What separates the Breakers from any other venue you'll look at is the people inside the building. Without their wonderful team helping us the whole way through, our wedding would have never been as effortless and stress-free as it was. Thank you Eileen, Terri , Michelle, Shannon, Cesar, and the whole entire staff.

my bridal party was able to get ready on site and have more time for pictures. The team was nearby the day of to make sure we had everything we needed. The food was superb and the drinks were delicious. You can't go wrong with the Breakers.

Anthony were very kind generous, and made sure I was happy with everything. My room was amazing with an ocean front view.

! Just an angel and gave such good guidance and support every step of the way - A true asset to the Breakers indeed. The Breakers is a beautiful venue - but it is showing its age. It could use a renovation to brighten its fading beauty. The wedding was beautiful. The service impeccable. The food excellent. All details big and small were executed perfectly....Except one detail: Our wedding suite, sadly, was switched without our knowledge to a small frumpy room due to Labor Day weekend demand? It was not the same caliber room that we were shown initially and guaranteed to be part of our wedding package. I was shocked upon arrival on the night before the wedding to be shown this dismal small room instead - but was shut down by the front desk as a "no-can-do/sorry"...That was very disappointing. To surprise the bride with a bait and switch at the last minute when all one wants to do is enjoy the moment. Boo. But the event was lovely - My guests are still raving about it and I am so grateful to the Breakers event staff for their dedication for making my wedding day so perfect!!!

elpful every step of the way. Our wedding would not have been the same without her help. The night before the wedding, myself and the bridesmaids stayed in the most beautiful ocean front room which made getting ready for the big day so easy and comfortable! During cocktail hour, all of the staff was so pleasant and efficient in making sure everyone was eating and drinking and getting ready to party! Our reception was the best night of our lives. The room looked absolutely beautiful and exactly what we envisioned for our wedding. We can't thank the Breaker's staff for all of their hard work and dedication to making our wedding spectacular!

cluded in the venue pricing, and I was able to get ready for the ceremony in it. R&RChamberlin

y! So glad I chose this place for my special day! It was perfect for our small, intimate wedding.

50 people. Our wedding reception could not have been more beautiful for an elegant wedding by the ocean. Eileen, our Maitre'd and staff were lovely to work with and their hospitality really made our day special.

t. We had a beautiful view of the ocean during our ceremony and cocktail hour. I couldn’t have asked for anything more.

ing in the days leading up to and during our reception. Shannon provided so many wonderful recommendations for vendors, and those added details were the icing on the cake! Our guests were wowed by the beautiful cocktail hour held on the front porch, which overlooks the ocean- Gorgeous views as the sun was setting. The food at The Breakers is a 10/10, and we were so impressed by the look and feel of the crystal ballroom. We could not have asked for a more perfect wedding. If you are considering an elegant wedding at the Jersey shore, this is it!

oosing our vendors which were excellent. Also advising though out , We wouldn’t have changed one thing. The views from the ocean terrace were beautiful. The rooms that our guests had were updated and comfortable. The ocean views from the rooms were beautiful. Front desk employees were very accommodating.

It was so elegant and picturesque!! We took photos on the beach as well. We had the seashell reception room with views of the ocean. It really was gorgeous! The food was delicious!!! Many of our guests commented that it was the best wedding they had attended. We were really surprised at the degree of attention given to us. Eileen, our sales representative/ wedding coordinator was absolutely amazing! She treated us like we were her own children. She really did everything as if it were for her own family. I can’t say enough about her. Even after the wedding, she contacted us to see how we were doing and how our out of state move went. We hope to remain in contact with her . She made the wedding process painless. Another thing I loved was that they assigned one staff member to be there solely for the bride and groom and their every need during the wedding. Our person even went as far as to come to the rescue and get pins to repair my dress bussle after someone stepped on my train!! She made us feel like royalty and took great care of us. The complimentary bride and groom hotel room was also great. We already plan on returning to the Breakers for our one year anniversary! You can’t go wrong with a wedding at The Breakers!!!

stions and alleviated any concerns. We did DIY centerpieces and we were able to drop them off early and the Breakers put them together and set up everything perfectly which was such a great relief! Our maitre’d Dona was amazing! She checked in with us to make sure we liked the table settings and kept everything for the reception on time. The staff also made sure my husband and I had everything we wanted to eat set aside which was so appreciated! Overall, the Breakers is an amazing wedding venue. Not only do you get beautiful views and pictures but you get top notch service and professionalism! You should definitely choose them for your big day!

dding planner, and found her sweet and genuine. She was also friendly, helpful and knowledgeable, putting our minds at ease. We had our wedding at The Breakers this past Sunday, and every step of the way, Shannon was there for us to answer any questions. Also, she was very easy to get in contact with! The day before our wedding, we dropped off all of our decorations, place cards and table settings. Shannon carefully stored everything overnight and ensure it was set up exactly how we had envisioned it the next day. She even stopped by my room as I was getting ready for the ceremony to check in and see if I needed anything, assuring me everything would be perfect. She helped prepare our cocktail hour tables, private cocktail room and stayed to assure the start of our reception ran smoothly. We definitely recommend working with Shannon and using The Breakers on the Ocean for a wedding venue. - Alexa & Josh R.

edding or any other event, look no further, you won’t be disappointed....thank you Shannon and the entire Breakers staff!!

ke, NJ. The staff is outstanding and food is superb. Our family and friends had a blast and it was the best time of our lives!

as we finished taking pictures on the beach, they were waiting on the porch with champagne and welcomed us into our cocktail hour. They even made a plate for us at cocktail so we actually were able to eat what we picked out, while talking to our guests! They kept us organized through the entire evening. We didn't have to worry about a thing! Our guests loved the beach front setting. We also loved how they provided plenty of hotel accommodation for our guests. The hotel staff is also wonderful! Huge thank-you to everyone at The Breakers!!!

recommending local vendors and setting up our ceremony on the terrace. Every staff member was extremely pleasant and helpful to us and our guests. Our maitre d', Dona, did an excellent job managing us and our guests, to ensure a smooth and worry-free event. We were thrilled with the experience of a Breakers wedding, and would recommend to anyone looking for an elegant wedding, in an idyllic beach-side venue.

he front porch. The staff at the Breakers all went the extra mile to make us and our guests have an amazing evening. The food and drinks were excellent and plentiful! We would highly recommend the Breakers for any special occasion! And we look forward to celebrating our 1st year anniversary at the Breakers. Thank you to all the staff at the Breakers for making our special day a huge success!

worked together to make sure everything ran smoothly. We are so grateful for our unforgettable wedding!

e service here was fantastic and our coordinator Terri was so great . We felt like we didn't have to do much because they took care of so much for us ! Our day tuned out beautiful ! So many attendees told us it was the best wedding they had ever attended! We couldn't have been happier . I highly recommend having your reception here !

ce on a perfectly beautiful day and both the cocktail hour and the reception food was absolutely delicious. All of our guests complimented us on the beautiful view and the delicious food. I cannot say enough good things about this place and making our wedding day extra special!

g; hotel rooms were spacious, clean and comfortable. Service was impeccable! I would highly recommend The Breakers for any event. On a regular basis, their restaurant is terrific as well! Thank you Breakers for a job extremely well done!!

y people say what a perfect job they did and that it was "the best wedding they've ever been to". Service was absolutely fantastic, food was wonderful, staff were so helpful and friendly, event coordinator Terri went above and beyond.

or all of our guests. Then we moved into the reception area, the room was beautiful and the dance floor was also a great size. We had plenty of delicious food. Eileen and Donna were great both leading up to the wedding and on the day of! All of the staff was wonderful and always checked in to see if we needed anything and how they could help! Highly recommend

ave imagined. We love the jersey shore and this place was reasonable in price. We were able to add in a couple of things that we wanted for not too much extra. Terri was our planner and helped us anything that we needed in our year and a half engagement. She was fantastic and was prompt in answering emails! The hotel itself is beautiful and a great place for guests. Overall, the food and staff at The Breakers was everything and more than we expected and would not have changed anything! We highly recommend The Breakers!

the Breakers for a wedding any time of year!

and I booked the Breakers. Everyone was so incredibly wonderful to us and we could not be more excited to have our reception there. After we booked we had celebratory drinks on the porch over looking the ocean and we knew it was the perfect choice. Throughout the year Terri, Anthony and Joseph made sure we received everything we could ever dream of. The wedding day came and it was our dream come true! Everything was perfect. The food was insanely amazing, the wait staff was wonderful and so helpful and the Maitre D was simply the best! We had a Hoffmans truck come and the Maitre D made sure that my husband and I got ice cream even though we were unable to go out to the truck. We had a five piece band and 200 guests and we all fit perfectly and never had space issues. We were able to have cocktail hour on the porch overlooking the ocean, andmy husband and I took some night shots on the boardwalk. After the wedding we stayed in the honeymoon suite upstairs and that was also a dream. It was enormous and warm, and from our window we could see the ocean plus it had a big jacuzzi tub. It was the perfect spot for a romantic evening after our wedding. Since the wedding we have been back to the Breakers on numerous occasions for dinner, because the food is simply the best. My sisters and friends of mine have gotten married at a few different venues, and I have to say this was the most helpful and loving staff as well as the best location, food and everything all for the best price! Everyone still talks about our wedding, that it was the best they have ever been to. I cannot recommend the Breakers enough. It was simply put, a dream.

ful, we had our cocktail hour out on the beautiful porch. The food was delicious, my groom actually had two meals himself! Everything was perfect, thank you to everyone who helped make our day perfect!

SO generous and kind and really made my husband and I truly feel like royalty. They decorated everything perfectly; better than any vision I had in mind. Shannon, Molly, Sandra, Debbie, the entire Scardino family, thank you A MILLION times for everything. From beginning to end, everyone kept me calm and everything just went so smoothly. My wedding day couldn't have gone any better or looked more beautiful and I have all of you and your wonderful establishment to thank. Cheers!!

tely delicious. If you are looking for a venue that will look stunning and treat you like you're all that matters then don't hesitate on booking with Breakers. Eileen was amazing and we absolutely adored her. She made us feel at ease with all the chaotic wedding planning and was always there to take our calls/emails. She connects with the bride, groom and their families. By the end of our wedding night, we felt as if Eileen was a part of our family. Our maitre d' was Donna and she was wonderful. She made sure our wedding day/night went without any issues and she did an amazing job at it. We also had our own personal server, Sandra. She was just as great as all the other staff members. During cocktail hour, she brought my wife and I a dish of each item being served at our cocktail hour to a private room where we and our bridal party were. She then asked the bridal party to join our cocktail hour so that we could have our first "meal" as husband and wife, alone. From that moment on, she took care of our drink/food needs the remainder of the night. Anytime our drinks were getting close to empty, she had a fresh one waiting for us at our table or hand delivered one to us on the dance floor. I never saw her, but she clearly was always watching after us. To put into perspective how this staff makes everything about you, my wife made a request that we do not want to be bothered during our dinner so that we could enjoy our meal. Sandra and Donna took the request to heart and made sure that no one would approach us and try talking/taking pictures etc while we were eating our dinner. One of our good friends came over to talk to us while we were eating and Sandra walked over and said, "hello, how's your dinner?" She politely talked our friend away from our sweet heart table. That is the type of service you will get at Breakers. We can't stress it enough, the staff is PHENOMENAL! The venue is BEAUTIFUL! The food is OUTSTANDING! If you're having second thoughts on Breakers, I assure you they will meet your needs, expectations and treat you like family. We had our ceremony and reception there. We wouldn't change a thing, everything went so perfectly. There is also a beautiful park, Divine Park, a couple blocks away to have pictures taken. I'll say it again, this venue is in a beautiful location. We loved the Breakers and we absolutely loved Eileen, Donna, Sandra, the bartenders, and all of the servers and other staff members that made our wedding night so special. We will be back to visit!

ing process easy and enjoyable. Our guests had the best time and we’re still getting compliments! Highly recommend The Breakers for a memorable wedding reception that you and our guests will love.

d and my guests are still raving about it! (We didn't love the food at the tasting but it was 100000% better on the day). It is simply the most magical beach front wedding venue and at a really great price. Thank you so much!!! Ps the raw bar is worth every penny and then some!!

d it would be.

r than that, we had a perfect day! I would definitely recommend this venue to any engaged couple.

s for all of our out of town guests, to our matre' d Donna who kept things moving smoothly on the day of the wedding. I truly felt like a princess on our fairytale day. We have already booked our room for an anniversary weekend next September!

r the wedding! We upgraded our suite to a Tower suite OMG it was so beautiful i felt like a princess staying there! Terri Thompson, Michelle, and the entire Breaker's team did a fabulous job! we will definitely be staying at the hotel again in the future hopefully making it a yearly anniversary thing!

e royalty. We had a smaller wedding and were on a budget so I expected a glitch or disappointment but there were none. Everything was perfect. The cocktail hour was great and the food was cooked and served to perfection. The server that took care of my wife and I was so on top of her game I never put an empty drink on a table, she was there with a replacement before the last sip every time. I was amazed by this as she was always busy but was able to keep a constant eye on us. I never in my wildest dreams imagined we would be treated as well as we did at The Breakers. Our room was perfect the pool and the view were amazing. The atmosphere was relaxed and even though it was brutally hot no one missed a beat. Eileen recommended a bunch of vendors who we contacted and were given the same level of service from them as well. All of Eileen's and Michelle's recommendations and directions were those of experienced professionals who truly loved what they do. In the extreme heat we endured everyone there made sure we were hydrated and well fed. They noticed us sweating and getting flush during pictures and made sure we took a water break and cooled off without rushing us through any steps of the process. We had our 5 year old son with us and I can't imagine any more they could have done to make him feel as important as us, I never expected them to be so sweet to him. He actually asked if we could go back to visit them soon. If you are thinking about having a wedding here do it you won't regret it.

rience!

ried each hors d'oeuvre, tasted each course at our reception and always had a fresh drink in our hand! The staff was excellent not only to us, but to our guests!! Our cake and pastries were delicious! Everything was perfect and I would highly recommend trusting the Breakers to host your wedding! We just got married and are planning to go back for a long weekend already!!!!

he was a pro and knew what she was doing, and we were so right. Throughout the entire process she was extremely responsive to our thousands of inquiries and was always so calming about everything. We just knew we were in good hands with her. I'm sure it helped that on June 4th it was the most perfect weather, but even without that we were blown away by our wedding. We met with Dona the day before who went over every detail of the wedding day. We had cocktail hour outside and they served the best hand passed apps and hot chaffing dishes as well. Everyone, even my wife and got to taste some of the dishes, raved about the food. We finished up our pictures on the beach and got a shot of us in front of The Breakers with everyone on the porch raising their glasses, so cool! Dona then directed everyone into the Ballroom for entrances. The Ballroom was beautiful and so clean. We had dinner then danced the night away. The entire staff at The Breakers, from waiters, housekeeping, front desk, management etc...were incredible and went above and beyond expectations. They are really a team. Whatever we needed was done. We were lucky to have about 32 rooms booked that night so we had an after party in the piano bar and even scheduled a breakfast in the Seashell room the following day. We had the best time at our wedding and really got to enjoy every moment of it because The Breakers have this down pat. I will 100% recommend The Breakers to anyone looking for wedding venues, with Terri and Dona, along with the rest of the staff, you will be in great hands. My wife and I plan to stay a weekend every year around our wedding to always remember our special day at The Breakers. Thank you to everyone at The Breakers!

abulous job and answered all our questions in a timely manner. Would not hesitate to recommend The Breakers on the Ocean.

us the hassle of tracking down photographers and other vendors. They have plenty of contacts who know exactly how to operate at The Breakers. Masterminding the operation were Eileen and Michele whose expertise and professionalism made the process stress free. While the wedding day was a bit cool for May, Eileen and Michele handled it perfectly. We were able to have the ceremony outside and the cocktail hour both indoors and outdoors. Thank you to both of them. The food was great and the wait staff during the event and the reception was top notch. We highly recommend The Breakers for your wedding or other special event.

ceremony. I did some quick research and found The Breakers online on a Friday and met with Shannon the following morning (definitely impressed by their quick response time). Their quick response time and very accommodating nature continued throughout the entire planning phase of our wedding. I met with her several times/exchanged numerous emails and phone calls over the course of 3 months and she was always so kind and helpful. I think one of Shannon's best attributes is her ability to anticipate what you are looking for, even before you know it. My partner and I had no idea of certain wedding etiquette and she was always there guiding us and letting us know what should/shouldn't be done. When Shannon was not available, her colleagues Eileen or Terri were always there to help me out, and I think it is the excellent teamwork among the staff that definitely shines through and is a quality unique to "The Breakers". During our wedding day, Michele was our Maitre D, and she was so organized and thoughful that I didn't have anything to worry about at all. I had several lists and she executed them to perfection. She kept the flow of things so well, that my guests were telling me how they have never seen food coming out so quickly during the cocktail hour and our reception (which was done buffet style). The servers were also very kind and attentive. In addition, I want to commend our bartenders, who kept the drinks coming and made it so that my guests never had to wait long for their drinks. I also received comments from my guests about how good the quality of the liquor was. Lastly, the food at "The Breakers" is some of the best I've had (not just for a wedding but among restaurants too, and we have traveled all over the world). Overall, they far exceeded my expectations. Thank you to the staff "The Breakers"! and a big Thank You to Shannon and Michele!

rough the entire process with ease, suggesting top-notch vendors along the way...from the officiant, hairdresser and bakery, to the DJ and florist. We found Kaylyn Ivy Photography ourselves, directly from her website, who was the perfect combination of artistry and skill! We were blessed with a gorgeous day full of sun with a warm breeze. We had the ceremony outside on The Terrace which overlooks the beach. Is there any backdrop more perfect than the BEACH? Spring Lake is a phenomenally gorgeous town itself...add in that it is at the ocean...well, it just doesn't get any better. The wedding party took a jaunt across the street for a photo shoot at the gazebo and made it back to The Terrace for the second half of the Cocktail Hour. (Didn't want to miss one of the best parts of the celebration.) The Reception was held just inside The Seashell Room which has huge windows, all with breathtaking views of the ocean! The Breakers' staff was kind and professional as they handled every detail with expertise. They knew just what to do and when to do it. We were able to just relax and enjoy our celebration all day long with our 50 guests. I would highly recommend The Breakers on The Ocean to anyone interested in having a fabulous wedding in a phenomenal beach town. If you need a venue for 68 Guests or less, I suggest The Seashell Room...especially for a daytime wedding. Spectacular views! Spectacular location!

ion was held was beautiful and the food was exceptional. Our maître' d Michelle was outstanding. She took care of Darryl and I throughout the night and made sure we kept on schedule. I have food allergies and she made sure I had exactly everything I needed. Also, our guests said the cocktail hour was amazing. We can't emphasize the outstanding customer service that was extended to us and our guests. The venue is spectacular because it's right across from the beach. We came back a few months after our wedding for breakfast and some of the staff who worked our wedding reception remembered us!! That made us feel great. One thing that's special about this venue is that we can come back to celebrate our wedding anniversary year after year!!

and great references for vendors. The staff on our day were amazing. I didn't have to walk to the bar once and not one server passed without offering food. I heard awesome tales of their great service from all of our guests. We stayed in the hotel the night of the wedding and all of our belongings were brought to our room by the time we got up there. Michele our maitre'd made sure the entire night stayed on track. I am very type-a and did not have to think or worry about a single detail the entire evening. As for price, we got married on a Friday after labor day and this reduced our costs. The cake is included and made by a local bakery. The food is worth more than you pay per plate. Everyone raved over the meal and the cocktail hour. We are so pleased with how everything turned out. Definitely a must visit for venue searching couples.

r maitre'd couldn't have been more attentive. I would highly recommend the Breakers Hotel for your reception.

and two months later, we are still getting the best feedback from our guests. Thank you for the perfect wedding!

ption, and Breakfast.Our wedding planner Eileen was fantastic she helped us with everything we needed. Our Maitre D. Donna was the best! She was so on key and did everything and everything for us. The price of hotel was so worth it! Food was fantastic and staff was very kind.

ts stayed for 2 nights & were very pleased with their rooms & the staff. The wedding was perfect & the breakfast the following morning was just the best ending to a most memorable & joyful celebration!

d not have asked for a more spectacular event. Thanks to everyone at the Breakers for helping us have a wonderful wedding ceremony on the Ocean Terrace and reception in the beautiful ballroom!

nhanced the spectacular ocean view, during the fabulous cocktail hour on the glorious veranda. The Breakers wedding coordinator, Eileen, was so attentive to all our needs and questions, which were many. No question was too insignificant or small. She cheerfully guided and assisted us through every step in preparing for the Big Day. After she arranged the food tasting dinner, my daughter and her finance, knew they did not have to worry about the quality of food, every selection of food was amazingly delicious. The Crystal Ballroom looked so elegant with tables set up to perfection. Donna, the experienced maitre'd, kept the wedding event flowing smoothly, which was no easy feat with 193 guests, but somehow she made it look easy. I could go on and on with praise for the Breakers. My daughter and her now-husband made the best decision in choosing the Breakers On The Ocean as the venue for their wedding. Bride, groom and parents could not be happier!

rsonal, I felt as though I had known her for years. Booking the rooms with Molly was a delight , she is such a delight, so pleasant, intelligent and efficient! Michelle was amazing the night of the reception, everything just flowed so seamlessly. She had met with my daughter and I days before the wedding and went over the night with us so we would know what to expect. She asked us if there was anything else we needed or wanted , she was so professional but also personal and friendly. The whole staff is amazing, the bartenders during the reception and after were delightful, the wait staff during the reception were attentive and friendly. The buffet breakfast staff also so attentive to everyones needs. I received many compliments on the whole experience from my friends and relatives on the food, the venue itself and the great staff. I would recommend the Breakers for a beautiful Wedding and experience and for any other event that you want to have and know that you will receive not only professional but personal attention.
