We could not have asked for a more beautiful wedding. Spring Lake Manor was extremely responsive and accommodating throughout the entire planning process. Janine is an AMAZING Maitreād and truly made us feel so special and taken care of through the whole process. All of our guests are saying it is the best wedding they have ever been to. We are just over the moon happy. I highly recommend this venue!!!

Yes, Yes, Yes! Everything at Spring Lake Manor was very much as expected and appreciated. Jillian is wonderful in her communication and helpfulness. Every staff member was A plus! My daughter's bridal shower was happy and beautiful for all. The room was lovely, the food was delicious, and I appreciated Jillian's help in every detail.

Spring Lake Manor was fantastic. From the start they made this so easy for me. On the day of the event every staff member was there to help me with any of my needs and requests. Food was amazing as well. This is the only venue I will use going forward. 5 STAR all the way!

When looking to plan an off-site event, on the beach, we didn't know where to start. Meeting with John and his team at Spring Lake Manor was the best decision we made. They were professional, organized, experienced and easy to work with. Jared & Jillian were our on-site team and they were incredible. The food was delicious, the timing was perfect and the on-site staff was fabulous. We will definitely use Spring Lake Manor again next year!

We booked our wedding here on very short notice ( like 9 weeks before the actual wedding) and had a rather seamless experience considering how fast we had to pull it off. The staff at spring lake manor was very thorough in asking what we wanted and how we wanted it to ensure we had the wedding of our dreams. I have also never heard of anyone else pulling off a wedding like we did for the price that we got at spring lake manor. The food was excellent, we highly recommend this venue

We had a baby shower at the beautiful Spring Lake Manor. Everything was beyond perfect. The food was delicious, the room was beautiful, the staff is professional, and the shower was fun flawlessly. Jillian is the one who helped us plan the baby shower from beginning to end. She is fantastic!!! Jay the bartender was great. And last but not least, the owner John is the nicest man. He always made us feel at home from the beginning when we inquired about the shower till the day of the shower. Thank you everyone for a job well done.

We decided to have a Post Wedding Celebration & had been to two events at the Spring Lake Manor & both were skillfully done.
One was a baby shower, the other, a Remembrance dinner which was supposed to be a 90th birthday celebration. Both were handled perfectly.
I t's why we choose the Spring Lake Manor for our Celebration. Meeting with John Nagle & his assistant Jillian was a pleasure. John said we're here to make your event perfect & special. No request would be denied.
Whatever you want that will make your day special we'll do. We had a few friends we weren't sure could attend because if an illness & he compensated us in another way that helped our budget.
The room was beautiful done in the aqua color choice we made. The food was delicious & there was more than enough. All our guest raved about the tastr & service.
We were made aware of a problem with our Wedding Cake. Before our event was slated to start by Kathleen (the head Maitre d) she noticed that our Wedding Cake hadn't been delivered. She called us & we were able to resolve the problem before we arrived to the venue.
Thanks to Kathleen's eye for detail. She was on top of several small changes & adapted accordingly. It made the night special & run flawlessly.
We had brought in our own one man entertainer Bob Kulik a former member of the band the Happenings from the 70's. He was fabulous & our guest were floored by the quality of his voice & show. Everyone enjoyed his song choices & how he moved from song to song so smoothly. At one point the whole venue broke out into a sing along to "My eyes adored you" spontaneous. He was great.
I highly recommend this venue from the owner, staff & servers they were terrific. John couldn't have been more professional if he tried but it was natural to him. He said he's here to make our event special & he did. Kathleen made everything run smoothly & flawlessly. We've heard nothing but great reviews from our friends & guest. If we ever have a need for another special event. It will be at Spring Lake Manor.

We had our wedding at Spring Lake Manor on Friday of Memorial day and let me tell you about our experience. First off, John, Janine, Jillian and Jared are absolutely the best to work with. We can't thank them or the wait staff enough for doing a fantastic job on our special day. We booked super late, literally 2 months from our wedding day, and they greeted us with open arms and were extremely helpful in planning with us. John was understanding of our budget and was super accommodating to our situation. John is a true gentleman and does good business (rare to find these days especially in the wedding venue realm). Janine was our Angel during the planning process and she made sure we got to eat and drink during the reception (they don't lie when they say you may not get a chance to eat). The food is great, everyone kept talking about the food and the passed Hors D'oeuvre, the cajun steak bites were a hit. The room we were in was the perfect size for our amount of people. The other rooms they offer are also beautiful and have access to an outdoor area and the venue has a large parking lot. Spring lake Manor really made everything easy for us which we greatly appreciated considering we did not give them much time from booking to reception. We recommend Spring Lake Manor to whoever is looking for a venue for their special event. Checks all boxes and the staff is phenomenal. Can't thank them enough for everything they did. THANK YOU JOHN, JANINE AND THE REST OF THE SPRING LAKE MANOR STAFF!!!

I would highly recommend the Spring Lake Manor. Beyond the beautiful venue, the food is not only excellent but plentiful. They have a wonderful and extensive menu that will most certainly please all your guests. The room was not only elegant but spacious enough to dance the night away! I was especially pleased with how helpful and charming everyone is at Spring Lake Manor from the moment we walked in the door to visit and see the rooms. That was a huge selling point for me, because throwing any type of large party- wedding, baby shower, birthday celebration- can be very stressful. This was not. Every question I had, request that was made, even down to smallest detail, was met with professionalism and understanding. That speaks volumes. You want to enjoy your event and given the highly trained staff, delicious food and lovely venue, you and your guests most definitely will!

John Nagle and The Spring Lake Manor never disappoint. I have used this venue many times, this one for my womenās club American Heart Association luncheon. Everything was absolutely top notch- delicious food, excellent service and beautiful venue. I received so many compliments there and over the next few days. The entire event was a huge success as we also raised several thousand dollars for the American Heart Association as well.
I cannot thank John and his staff enough for their patience, professionalism and wonderful communication. It was a wonderful day!

Our day was AMAZING. Communication with the venue was amazing the entire time, from touring to the day after. Janine was our day of coordinator and she was so helpful, talked us through everything, gave some ideas based on what she has seen in the past, and helped plan things out. Getting married on a Thursday definitely saved us money, but since it was Veterans Day weekend, we didnāt notice a difference with guests not coming or leaving. Food was AMAZING, people are still telling us about it. Our cake was included also, from Chocolate Carousel, and it was DELICIOUS.

I recently had my wedding at The Spring Lake Manor on 10.28.23 and I can not say enough nice things. Everything went perfect from start to finish, I would not complain about 1 thing. The food was amazing, the staff was super friendly, and the venue itself is beautiful. John is a hands on owner and is always there for you with any question or concerns. Our maitre'd Janine is absolutely outstanding, she is your go to girl the day of your wedding and she will make your wedding visions come true. I can not thank Janine and the rest of the staff enough for everything they did for my wedding, I already want to plan another event with them! Thank you all for the best night ever! :)

We had our sons rehearsal dinner at Spring Lake Manor the night before the wedding and everything was awesome. John is very professional and very accommodating to work with for any questions you may have or special touches you may add. The entire staff from the planning stage to the night of the event was so helpful, extremely nice and very attentive. They treated us like we were their top priority throughout the whole time we interacted. The food (dinner, appetizers and desserts) was great and everyone raved about it. The clubroom was a great private room and the ambience was great for our special event. We canāt say enough about how the Spring Lake manor made our event so special!!

Thank you for making the day so special for the bride to be!

Overpromised and Underdelivered
The Spring Lake Manor was BY FAR the worst decision that I made for my wedding.
First of all, despite spending ten of thousands of dollars, when you show up for your tasting the hostess will ask, ādo you know how long you are going to be here? Because I had no idea you were comingā. My future-in-laws actually looked shocked that the hostess was so blatantly rude. Three days before the wedding, I dropped off decorations. Janine (the maĆ®tre de) dropped one of my candle holders and broke it. She didnāt realize that my mom watched her do this when she wasnāt looking, so she thought she could get away with lying to us. She told us it was broken when she opened the box. Now the candle was worth $15, itās not about money. I donāt appreciate falsehoods told straight to my face. Itās insulting and disrespectful. Two days before the wedding, it looks like itās going to rain. Janine happily told us that the back deck was covered, and that photographs could be taken there. It was a lie. The back deck covering was NOT sufficient to protect against rain. As a result, my entire wedding party got wet. Janine also failed to tell us that she offered the deck because she booked two events inside. Which meant we had no where to go to protect from the rain. My mother (who did most of Janineās job for her) complained, and thankfully we were granted access to the front hallway to take pictures at the very end of the inside event. As my entire wedding party is posing for pictures in the middle of a lobby, still half wet from Janine locking us outside, the guests from the other event walked right through our wedding party and exited the venue. By this time, my wedding guests are arriving. Janine had to sneak me, in my full wedding gown through the kitchen so they wouldnāt see me. So unprofessional. Such a joke. They will claim there is no need for a rehearsal because Janine will be there. ANOTHER LIE. She gave no insight/direction pre lineup. My DJ saw us getting upset and nervous, and thankfully stepped in and did Janineās job for her. They will claim there is no need to hire a wedding coordinator, because Janine can do the job! Another lie. If she COULD do the job of a wedding coordinator, Iām pretty sure she would have remembered to give our Best Man the RINGS. Instead, my bridesmaid had to army crawl across the ceremony to the bridal suite to grab them. As if she had an actual goal to prove that she should work in an another industry, Janine spent the rest of the wedding missing. I wasted a half hour of my own wedding desperately asking random waiters where she was. Someone spilled a drink at out sweetheart table, and my husband and I had to desperately beg three different employes for help, because Janine was missing. Again. We ended up standing there awkwardly by the sweetheart table for 10 minutes while our food got cold. The service was so bad that the catering manager (the only competent employee in the entire establishment) took pity on us and offered to help pack up and deliver our decorations. He must be used to having to compensate for incompetence. I cannot believe that I was lied to and treated like a patron at TGI Fridays on my wedding day. John, the owner, should have considered a career in politics, as hospitality is certainly not his strong suit. When I called him to complain about the plethora of mistakes his lying employee made, he basically gave non answers and defended the deceit. The canopy that Janine told me that we could pose under? According to John, that was never weather proof! When I asked him why Janine lied to me and said otherwise (especially because I could have just went to convention hall for pictures instead), he didnāt have an answer. He refunded me Janieās $500 fee, which is literally the bare minimum he could do. When people donāt do there jobs, their fee shouldnāt be charged. I was not satisfied with the resolution at all. You are spending a lot of money on your wedding. You deserve to feel important and respected. With that being said, please donāt make the same mistake I made!

They provide you with whatever you need and really cater your wedding to what you WANT without hesitation or judgement.

Thank you John, Janine, Jared, and the entire staff at Spring Lake Manor for throwing us a wedding we will never ever forget. John, your communication was consistent and direct throughout our 18 month planning process and I always felt you were available and willing to help answer any and all of our questions.
Janine, there are not enough good things that Tara, myself, and our mothers could say about you. When we first met you and John gave us the option to have you as a maitre de or not to have a maitre de, both our mothers knew that we had to use you because you were so amazing and they knew youād make our wedding night go smoothly. You were attentive to all of Taraās messages and helped her stay calm in crunch time.
Everything looked so beautiful the day of and even though we were bummed out that the weather forced cocktail hour inside, you helped us remain calm and transitioned things so smoothly. The staff was attentive all night, and our glasses were never empty and we got whatever we wanted all night long.
I think I speak for all of our guests when I say this is a 5 star establishment with true professionals. Thank you so much for everything.

5 stars is not enough to rate Spring Lake Manor. My husband and I had a New Years Wedding and they were so accommodating to all our wants to make this day exactly what we envisioned. Your wedding coordinator Janine is like Jennifer Lopez from the wedding planner. She made things even more beautiful than we had anticipated. The staff was so warm, welcoming and so so helpful. They all went above and beyond for us. The food is outstanding! Oh, and make sure to get your wedding cake from Chocolate Carousel. Delicious! If you are looking for all your needs to be met on your wedding day, and you want a warm, cozy and welcoming atmosphere, Spring Lake Manor is the place for both your Ceremony and Reception.
A million times thank you, thank you Spring Lake Manor!

We held our wedding here, July 23. At first we spoke to John, and he seemed to be very accommodating. We had a reschedule for Covid-19, and they were absolutely great about the entire process. We scheduled our wedding reception for the larger ball room.Things didn't start to go bad until the day of the food tasting. We were asked if we wanted to do the cocktail hour in the tent outside. We didn't want that. They told us that we were going to have cocktail hour in the room in front of our reception, and that we would have the smaller bar for a private cocktail hour for the wedding party. The morning of our wedding, my wife was using the room downstairs to get ready, and the woman who handles the party briefly mentions to her that we are going to do a combined cocktail hour in the small bar(she didn't fully understand what they were really saying as she was getting her makeup done). I didn't find this out until we arrived at the reception hall. This was not what we agreed to. By the time I found out many of our guests were already packed into the small bar like sardines ( mind you, my dj was not set up in that room). None of our plans were executed the way we discussed. We had candies with our names on them, they were randomly put in bowls in odd places. I tried to let it go, then we were announced, did our first dance. We were told to sit for our first course right afterwards and everyone, all our guests were sitting for about 20 minutes with boring dinner music playing( the dj was very confused at this point as he and i had a conversation about it and he was told food was coming...) and finally salads were served. I feel like the whole thing was poorly executed by the staff. The outdoor area was filthy, i was told that the area could be used for smokers, and that it would be set up for our guests. I felt like we were rushed, and at the end i was moving boxes into my truck while the tables were being cleared 5 seconds after it was over. I felt like we were promised a lot and they failed to deliver. The food was excellent. But the overall experience seemed rushed, and disorganized.

The team at Spring Lake Manor were absolutely incredible to work with. We had to replan our wedding in only two months, John and Janine made sure that everything was exactly how we imagined it to be. They were very easy to communicate with during the planning of our wedding and responded to any of our messages quickly.
We cannot even begin to express how amazing the food was! Even days after our wedding our guests were still complimenting the food and what a great evening they had. We enjoyed the food so much we decided to have it catered for the holiday. I definitely recommend the Spring Lake Manor to anyone who is searching for a wedding or event location. We canāt thank the staff enough for all of their hard work to make our night perfect.

Recently just had our wedding reception at The Spring Lake Manor in early October, and it was the best time of our life. From the moment we booked the space two years prior, John and Janine were in constant communication with us to make it the best day and they certainly did not disappoint. They made the process so easy, offered great suggestions, were quick with their responses, and were very attentive to us. The food was truly the talk of the night, the space was beautifully setup, beyond all expectations, and the staff was friendly and catered to our every need on the day. John was great to work with and Janine was spectacular. I cannot thank them and their staff enough for such an amazing day! Would 100% recommend to weddings and any special events.

I would highly recommend SLM to anyone looking to have any type of event, specifically a wedding. Truly the best people to work with!!! Thank you so much for making my day so special

The second we walked into The Spring Lake Manor we knew it was our Wedding Venue. John and Janine were incredible in taking care of everything we could possibly need or think of.
Through the year before our wedding Janine answered all our questions and helped us plan so we could execute our vision. The result was beyond our expectations and walking into the venue on the day and seeing everything setup just how we imagined it set the tone for the rest of the incredible night. Working with Janine is like having an extremely friendly extremely organized wedding planner with no added cost and absolutely no added stress.
The venue itself is gorgeous, we got married in the ballroom and they quickly and seamlessly turned it around for our amazing reception while we were in the cocktail hour. We cannot say enough about how amazing and delicious the food is during both the cocktail hour and the reception and thanks to Janine all the timing was great.
The place has great pricing, John is an absolute delight to work with. Every single time we called or came in with questions or updates we got what felt like VIP treatment. Having the ceremony, cocktail hour, reception AND after party in the same location is such a nice bonus because all our guests really enjoyed every part of it start to finish. We LOVE the Spring Lake Manor, we loved getting married here and we wish we could do it again!!!

The Spring Lake Manor was a dream location to have our wedding! From our first look, we decided to book on the spot. The staff and management of the Manor went above and beyond to ensure our day was a dream, from booking to wedding day. We planned the wedding ourselves and were amazed at how much SLM did to make the day truly special. SLM has center pieces available for use, which were elegant and perfect for the event. Management was available any time we needed them throughout planning and helped solve any issue that arose.
Due to the size of our party, we were able to use both the Atlantic Room for the cocktail hour and the Ballroom for the reception. This allowed us to provide guests with an elegant transition to the reception and dancing. SLM has had updates completed and the space was perfect. The outdoor terrace was a wonderful addition to the party! We were in no shortage of photo locations, but still recommend using the Photo Booth!
We utilized the Bridal Suite to get ready and were well attended if we needed coffee or anything else. The space lead to a fun way to spend the morning before the wedding. While we were getting ready, SLM went to our off-site ceremony location (Huisman Gazebo in Belmar) to set up chairs and decorations. After the ceremony, the Manor handled packing up the Gazebo, making the day worry-free.
Special diets were accommodated to ensure all of our guests enjoyed themselves. The food was AMAZING ā we are still receiving compliments! Two bars allowed for quick service at the open bar. The staff was kind, quick, and extremely helpful.
I cannot recommend the SLM enough as a wedding venue. The entire day went off without a hitch and the Manor made sure to work with all of our vendors to iron out details (such as setting up) without making us deal with those factors. It was stress-free and absolutely the best day of our lives!!

We recently had our wedding at the Spring Lake Manor. They did a fantastic job with everything. We wanted the wedding to be a little more casual, since it was a second wedding. We did not have formal seating insteadwe had bar tops scattered around the room for people to sit at with different stations for the food. Everything was perfect. Expectations were high from our friends with me being a florist and my husband being a chef. Many of the guests were in the restaurant business, and knew what to look for. The Spring Lake Manor did not disappoint. We had rave reviews about the food and the service.
If you want a perfect wedding and super people to work with , book your wedding at the Spring Lake Manor.
Thank you to all the staff and the chef who made our day absolutely the best ever!!

We had the most amazing wedding day at the SLM. John, Janine, and the rest of the team went above and beyond to make the day go smoothly and beyond our expectations. The food was delicious and guests raved that they had the best time. We have also used the Spring Lake Manor prior to our wedding for bridal showers, baby showers, and catering. We highly recommend for any upcoming event!

When tasked with finding a venue for my sister's bridal shower, I only contacted one place - The Spring Lake Manor. We held my rehearsal dinner here a few years ago, and our guests are still raving about it so I immediately contacted them for my sister's event. We had a Harry Potter themed shower, so we had quite a few decorations as well as a photo booth and a dessert bar. The team at the Spring Lake Manor not only helped us bring in the decorations but also consulted us on the best location to place things. As always, the food was amazing, the service was impeccable and the entire staff was extremely nice throughout the day. I highly recommend the Spring Lake Manor for any event you have. Book here - you won't regret it and your guests will be super happy.

On October 14, 2017, I had my wedding at SLM and it was by far THE BEST DAY EVER. John and Janine are a dynamic duo that make me confidently state that this is the best venue in the area. They are COMMITTED to the bride , the are WILLING to go ABOVE and BEYOND for their couples. I will recommend this venue 110% to any and everyone for the rest of my life. The food was outstanding, the room is breathtaking, and (again) the service was ASTOUNDING. BOOK THEM NOW!

My wife and I got married at the Spring Lake Manor on 9/15/17 and we had the most incredible day. It far exceeded our expectations and the staff at the Manor went above and beyond to make every part of our day perfect. The cocktail hour was outstanding and the food was absolutely delicious. I truly cannot say enough about what a great wedding we had at the Spring Lake Manor and we are so thankful to John and his staff for making our wedding day absolutely perfect.

Spring Lake Manor did an AMAZING job on our recent August wedding. We had a daytime wedding with a 12PM-5 reception. For the entire year of planning, John and his staff were very responsive to all emails and calls. As a nervous bride, I had lots of questions as well as minor changes to our wedding day, but SLM was as flexible as can be with everything. I never felt like I was bothering anyone with my questions.On our first visit, John suggested many different ceremony and picture sites in the area. Since I was not a local, that really helped. We had our ceremony offsite at the Huisman gazebo in Belmar. The site was set up beautifully with the chairs and aisle markers, and they even passed out programs and bubbles to our guests. They set up the ballroom perfectly as well. It was everything I wanted and more--so beautiful! The food is fantastic and our guests are still talking about it. We chose NY Strip Steak, Chicken Francese, and Honey-Dijon glazed Salmon for the entrees. We had a couple staff members tending to my husband and I throughout the entire reception to make sure our needs were met, even refilling our drinks all afternoon so that we didn't have to take a minute out of our partying to visit the bar. Everyone truly enjoyed themselves and I look back on that day often and just smile. It was well worth the crazy year of planning. Thanks SLM for your patience and for making us feel like VIPs!

We recently were married and were lucky enough to have our rehearsal dinner at the Spring Lake Manor. Both of our families have been using the Spring Lake Manor for years, from anniversary parties, to catering, and an upcoming wedding in the winter, so choosing the manor to host our dinner was an easy choice. Aside from the food being delicious (everyone kept continuing to rave about it even on the day of the wedding) John and his staff go above and beyond in their service and their attention to detail. John was very easy to work with in planning the menu and gave us many options to choose from. The staff at the dinner were great as well. We are looking forward to my sister's wedding there in the winter!

We couldn't have asked for a better experience at Spring Lake Manor for our wedding on 9/2/17. John, Janine & the entire staff were beyond exceptional during the entire planning process leading up to that very night. The food was incredible (everyone raved about it!!) and plentiful, not a single detail was missed which brought our vision to life, and the special attention we were given all night made us feel so loved and special. I couldn't imagine having our wedding anywhere else. Spring Lake Manor truly made our wedding a night to remember. We can't wait to go back!!

Two weeks ago I had my daughters bridal shower at Springlake Manor. John and his staff were fabulous to work with. There was very little for me to do and when I got there the morning of the room was set and stunning! If you're going to have an event do it here!

I recently had my daughter's bridal shower at the Spring Lake Monor and it was amazing. I had looked around at, at least 10 venues. But, and so happy that I selec the SLM. John, the owner is amazing to work with. The doesn't nickel and dime you to death like a lot of these other places. You get a beautiful venue, excellent pricing, food and service.
I am still getting calls from family and friends saying how great everything was.
I would highly recommend the SLM for any upcoming events you might have.

We had our wedding Oct 22, 2016 and were promised that we would be the only even that evening. Our cocktail hour was cut short to start set up for the next event. Food was great, rooms were fabulous and they accommodated our change of ceremony due to weather at the last minute. They were very confusing on the pricing. Even after it was all written down.

We were looking for a charming venue to have a small wedding reception, but it was very important that it was affordable. The Spring Lake Manor went above and beyond! Not only was the booking process painless, but they also provided us with flexible options which included having a local bakery make our delicious cake. We had a lovely reception for two hours in the Grille Room. It was festively decorated for Fall, and we also had the ability to add our touches as well. The food was outstanding and is still being talked about today. From the beginning, the staff made sure that everything was taken care of for us. They did an amazing job, and we would highly recommend choosing them. We had a perfect wedding reception at the Spring Lake Manor!

Our daughter chose the Spring Lake Manor for her wedding in September of 2016. The staff could not have been more helpful. John was very accommodating and eager to make sure that everything went as planned. Janine was the ultimate "Wedding Planner" and came through several times during the evening to answer our questions, and even help out with the bustle! The food was delicious and the venue was decorated beautifully. It was a perfect evening and the Spring Lake Manor Staff made sure that our bride and groom were happy and every detail was addressed. We were all very happy and the evening was a great success!

I cannot say enough times how wonderful the Spring Lake Manor was for our wedding. They accommodated anything we asked for since the day we book our reception. John was generous and attentive to all of our desires. Janine seemed to pop up anytime we needed her assistance ..(Even if we didn't know we needed her!) They were always available to answer our questions, offer us food, and schedule an appointment. I am so glad we found this gem of a venue. Our guests were thrilled with our food, decor, staff attentiveness, and atmosphere. We received many compliments from our guests about the quality of everything. Thank you for all you have done to make our day special. We will most certainly be back for dinner in the Grille Room !

We had our Wedding Ceremony and Reception at the Spring Lake Manor on September 10, 2016. We couldn't be happier. Both John and Janine along with the entire staff did an amazing job!!! In our search for a venue was stressful and very expensive, I was in tears until we found Spring Lake Manor. When we first walked in it was exactly what we were searching for...to accommodate our 100 guests. It was warm and inviting and the venue was BEAUTIFUL not to mention the food was off the hook!!!! and the portions were large!!! Our guests raved about how good the food was, how much they enjoyed themselves and how BEAUTIFUL the venue was and how they enjoyed having everything there in one place!!!!! We couldn't be happier with our WEDDING DAY!!!! The Spring Lake Manor really does an AMAZING JOB!!!! You will not be disappointed!!!! Much better than all the other venues we reviewed!!!
