My in-laws hosted the welcome dinner and my family is still talking about it. The views alone are a 10/10 and then you add the service and food which were incredible! Perfect way to kick off our weekend.
My AMAZING Fiance had surprised me with having my Bridal Shower here. I was in love with this place when we were both thinking of having our engagement party here. this place is TRULY breath taking. the view upstairs is so gorgeous! The staff is very down to earth and so friendly. The food was SO delicious. They did an amazing job on the drinks as well! We had such a great experience with them and will recommend them to everyone!
I held my son and daughter in law’s rehearsal dinner here....such a beautiful venue! The food, which I have had in their restaurant, was fantastic!! Samantha, the banquet manager, was awesome to work with!! She took my concerns into consideration and helped the dietary needs of several guests. Love the Rum Runner!!
I just had my bridal shower here and it was PERFECT! Danielle was so accommodating & helpful throughout the planning process, and the entire day was magical. The views were perfect, the food was delicious, and all of my guests had an amazing time! I will definitely look to Rum Runner for future events / parties :)
Let me start by saying that we met with the Event Director at Rum Runner, Danielle, a few months back to plan my daughter Kimberly's Bridal Shower. She was fantastic. She answered all of our questions ,showed us all of the options and together we easily planned a Shower for 50 guests. The event space is on the top level and is called the Loft. ...there is an elevator for convenience if that is an issue for any of your potential guests.It is an amazing classy space. The entire back wall is a series of windows overlooking the river . Even on a not so sunny day , as we had, the whole space is bright and well lit. The shower was this past Saturday and to say that it exceeded all of our expectations would be an understatement. Danielle thought of everything ...and not one item was overlooked.. from the table layout to the linens ..to the bubbly bar ...everything was done to perfection...exactly the way we planned it . As the guests arrived and entered the space they were struck by the incredible view of the river and the spaciousness of the entire room. We had chosen the lunch buffet and the food is wisely laid out away from the main party space in an alcove with both river and ocean views....outstanding. The food was delicious and plentiful and honestly our guests raved about it. We brought in our own dessert and some is also supplied by the restaurant. I will tell you that our daughter told us afterwards that it was her "dream shower"...what more can you ask for ? Thanks to Danielle and her staff for a perfect day that our daughter will cherish and remember always.
It's all about the view for this amazing location on the Jersey Shore. The food is fresh, delicious and well-presented, and the staff is friendly and helpful. Danielle, the event planner, can help you prepare for any occasion. I highly recommend it for your party or event.
I just had my wedding shower brunch at the Rum Rummer this past weekend and everything exceeded my expectations! Danielle was amazing to work with, confirmed all my details and nothing was missed. Being an event planner myself I am a detailed person, although Danielle was incredibly responsive and a joy to work with.
The food was fantastic, the room upstairs was beautiful and the staff was amazing. My guests kept commenting on how attentive they were and they all wanted everyone to enjoy themselves. It really surpassed all my expectations and I cannot be more thankful. I will definitely be back for another event! :)
