Celebrate your wedding weekend your way at Element Restaurant & Bar, a family-owned restaurant and private event venue in Manahawkin, NJ, just minutes from Long Beach Island.
From rehearsal dinners and welcome parties to bridal showers, engagement parties, post-wedding brunches and intimate wedding celebrations, Element offers flexible spaces, thoughtfully designed banquet packages and a team ready to make hosting feel easy.
Our largest private event space can accommodate up to 100 seated guests and can be styled to fit your vision with your preferred vendors. For smaller gatherings, we also offer a closed-off dining room for up to 35 guests and a semi-private alcove for up to 26 guests—giving you options for everything from an intimate bridal shower to a full rehearsal dinner.
Food is at the heart of what we do. We offer a variety of set banquet and party packages designed to take some of the guesswork out of planning while still giving you flexibility. Choose the package that best fits your celebration, and our team can help tailor selections to your preferences and accommodate dietary needs. From steak and seafood to fresh sushi, American favorites and crowd-pleasing appetizers, there are options for a variety of tastes and occasions. Our full bar also makes Element a great choice for cocktail-style celebrations, affordable weddings, welcome parties and relaxed gatherings before or after the big day.
Family-owned and operated since 2013, Element has spent more than a decade hosting celebrations for local families and visitors to the Jersey Shore. We know wedding events don't all need to look—or cost—the same. Our goal is to give couples a welcoming, polished space with great food, attentive service and the flexibility to make the celebration feel like their own.
Located in Manahawkin near Long Beach Island, Element is especially convenient for couples getting married on or near LBI who need a close venue for their rehearsal dinner, welcome party, bridal shower, or other wedding-weekend events.
Whether you're planning dinner with your closest family and friends or bringing everyone together to kick off your wedding weekend, we'd love to help you celebrate.
