We LOVED having our wedding at Asbury! The entire process was smooth and transparent from start to finish. The Asbury team is quick to respond to communication, and they got us set up with a tour and quote in no time. Each meeting with Grace was organized, thoughtful, and friendly. Asbury truly has it all -- lodging on site, getting ready space, a beautiful chapel and reception hall, parking, catering, day of coordination, tables and linens, DJ equipment, and so much more. It made the planning process so much easier. We knew we were in good hands from start to finish. We couldn't have asked for a better planning process or better wedding day itself!
I am SO SO glad I chose to have my reception here! My husband and I (fiancé at the time) looked at alot of venues and this one had the most friendly and helpful staff! They were so accommodating the many times I wanted to have meetings because I had questions and concerns, and when my out of town family (on multiple occasions!) came to visit and wanted to see the reception hall. I truly enjoyed working with Grace, Aubrey, Dan, Jeff, and Keturah. The day went super smoothly and we are so thankful we found Weddings at Asbury!!
We couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Weddings at Asbury! When my wife and I started planning our wedding, we wanted a venue that was beautiful, easy to plan with, and wouldn’t break the bank. Weddings at Asbury more than fulfilled each one of those! From planning it, to the big day, Grace, Aubrey, Elayna (our included coordinator), and the rest of the team helped us in every step of the way, answering stressed emails and phone calls to calm us down and get things taken care of! We have zero regrets choosing Weddings at Asbury, and we encourage any couple to give them a tour!
We couldn’t be happier to have chosen Asbury and Estes Chapel for our wedding! I was a little nervous to be planning a long-distance wedding, but Grace put our minds at ease from the very first virtual tour with her wisdom and humor. Along the way, we also met Aubrey, who really saved the day by helping us fix our prelude playlist the day before the wedding, and then our perfect day-of coordinator Debbie! The three of them took our scattered notes and turned them into a simply beautiful day. And we can’t leave out Jeff, who prepared a delicious meal for our reception. We had many out-of-state guests, and everyone absolutely loved the venue and the food and commented on how smoothly things went. The icing on the cake is Asbury’s beautiful campus in all seasons; I couldn’t be happier with our photos by Ethan and Sarah Photo. If you are looking for a wedding venue, Weddings at Asbury should be at the top of your list!
We LOVED having our wedding at Estes Chapel with Asbury Weddings!! Grace & Keturah are such a dream team when it comes to organizing a wedding & making sure everything goes according to plan! It was so evident that they were going to do everything in their power to make sure planning & the actual day went smooth & even better than we had planned! Not to mention that Estes is absolutely gorgeous! So classy & bridal! I highly recommend Weddings at Asbury!
We have always loved The Asbury Hotel- its vibrant boutique vibe is awesome and it has made a lasting impression on us. We decided to have our wedding here and we are so happy we did. It was beautiful. We had a rooftop ceremony that our guests loved. The cocktail hour was in their “pre-function space” as well as right outside of that area being set up with some high top tables.
Reception was inside the Asbury Hall and the terrace attached to it. We rented a tent from Sperry Tents which came in handy when it started to rain as we sat down for dinner. That was magical for me - to sit outside in comfy weather and watch the rain drops fall on the clear tent.
I started out working with Matt Bassant, who was beyond amazing and I was sad to see him go. I was a little worried that he left about 2 months before the big day, but we were still in great hands. Jenna Daniels took over and was very helpful in ironing out all my details with me.
Teresa and Kate were my right hand girls on the actual wedding day and were also wonderful. I forgot some personal things I wanted to use at the wedding and they noticed right away and replaced the items with their own.
It was really a magical day. I love the different layout options. You have a blank canvas and can really make your dream wedding come to life. I love all weddings, but I really loved how this was not your typical layout. Kept our guests on their toes with not knowing where they were headed next. The garage doors being opened up, after our first dances, to reveal The tables and chairs on the terrace was so cool! Highly recommend this set up!
The one draw back was the cost of the rooms even after the room block discount. It was even worse as our wedding was during their season down the shore so they have a two night minimum. This stopped a lot of people from staying there. They wound up staying at surrounding hotels that were still super close - some had the two night minimum still and some a little further without 2 night minimum.
You may think you’ll save some money when you first look here, but keep in mind you have to book the caterer and the tent (if playing it safe), on top of your other vendors! You definitely have more flexibility with the cost than some other places because of this, but it all adds up quickly!
I give the hotel 5 stars and would recommend them to everyone that wants a fun and original wedding!!! They are wonderful!!!
Our wedding was absolutely PERFECT! Between the big picture coordinator, Grace, and the day of coordinator, Keturah, we didn’t have to worry about anything! The food, done by Jeff, was magnificent and our decor from Rachel’s Rose Garden was amazing. I couldn’t recommend it more, especially for it’s price! There was nothing better for our big day!
I can't begin to express the gratitude I have for this team at Weddings at Asbury. Every detail was thoroughly considered and planned. I was grateful for how quick the team was in responding to all of my questions! I felt at total ease on my wedding day! Our day of coordinator, Susan, was incredibly helpful, prompt and accessible for all of our needs. I wish I could relive our wedding day over and and over again! It truly was a joy to have our wedding planned through Weddings at Asbury.
After looking at many venues trying to find the right fit for our needs, we happened upon Asbury Weddings. From booking until the wedding day was seamless. I could go on and on about all the things they offer but the main thing and most important thing is that they help with making you present. Grace did an amazing job helping create the most memorable day. The caterer and the food was absolutely amazing. The on site coordinator helped with making all the events for the day of stress free and memorable. She really is top notch and her talent really shows. I can not say enough about her. The Asbury Inn and Suites gave us the opportunity for all family to stay on site and we were all able to enjoy the amenities. The weekend wears absolutely memorable. I would highly recommend having your wedding here. The chapel is breathtaking which is perfect for pictures.
We absolutely loved having our wedding at Asbury in Estes Chapel! Everyone on staff was friendly, professional, and incredibly helpful. Our coordinator Debbie was so kind and easy to work with—she made the day stress-free and fun! Not to mention how amazing the catering staff was and the delicious food! We would recommend ATS Weddings again & again!
Let me tell you, Weddings at Asbury is a dream! Everything I envisioned as a little girl came to life at the Estes Chapel. The package we had INCLUDED a wedding coordinator. Our team, Grace, my coordinator, everyone was great. We had a little confusion with catering, so do read contracts and ask questions but on the flip side you do get to taste test food on a fun little outing at Weddings at Asbury so that’s an amazing perk too! They recommend and work with small businesses too!!! Just a solid program!
Estes is a beautiful location to have a ceremony, large or small. The reception area is close by, and everything was set up nicely. There is also some nice green space across the street on the Asbury campus that is great for pictures. The reception area has quite a bit of stuff you can use for centerpieces at no charge, which can save you quite a bit of money. We had the rehearsal dinner at the Asbury Inn for a small charge. We used an outside caterer because Pioneer Catering could not do a vegan wedding. Christine was so great in helping with all the details! She (and Josiah) were very competent and excellent at answering my numerous questions. She was willing to meet with me many times prior to the wedding date. Susan (who helped with the wedding day details and timeline) was equally great. She knew her stuff. She asked me the little detail questions that I'd never considered (like how bright the lighting should be in the chapel). The day of the wedding, which was off-and-on rainy, she made sure that I stayed dry, even when that meant she got a bit wet. She also helped coordinate and wrangle the 9 flower girls and boys I had in the wedding. During the reception, Susan was there to make sure things were done on time. I wished at times she was actually less visible (so that I could relax more), but I'm being nit-picky. Better she do her job too well than let the day go to crap; Susan definitely did the former! Both women went above and beyond. The ONLY thing that I'm not a fan of is regarding the parking; even with signs, the parking, chapel and reception are can be a bit confusing. Asbury did provide us some signs, which are sturdy and nice. But I'd recommend you get a few extra signs or perhaps even use balloons so that guests have no questions. Overall, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this place!
Everything was perfect! Keturah, Christine and all the staff were so helpful. Everyone made sure that our day was incredible. The facilities were beautiful! The food was amazing - people are still talking about it. I could not have imagined an easier day. Thank you all for everything!
Our wedding coordinator Christine was amazing! I can't imagine having done this without her. So professional, organized and classy. Facilities of course were great. We look forward to more memories here.
I couldn't have made a better decision than having my wedding and reception at Asbury Seminary. The director and coordinator were highly professional and anticipated issues and questions I hadn't even thought of from start to finish. With their help, I was able to enjoy my special day and let them take care of the details/stressors. Having the ceremony in Estes Chapel and then a reception immediately following in the Dining Hall was elegant and easy for guests--many of whom had traveled from out of state. With the Asbury Inn located on campus, having a wedding at Asbury is the perfect package deal. I highly recommend it!
We couldn't bring any outside food in except cake,wasn't allowed to take home any of the food we purchased thru them. They where rude to my guest, our wine glasses was thrown on the ground, we were rushed thru the recepection they made my guest leave while our pictures were being taken. Our contract was until 6pm they started cleaning up at 5pm and everbody was made to leave.
Working with this group made my wedding so much less stressful! They took care of everything from decorating to clean up, and if there were any issues the day of the wedding, I didn't know about them!! The only complaint I have was that they promised us a steamer on the day of the wedding, but the steamer leaked, and they did not provide us with enough water to steam the bridesmaids' dresses. The wrinkles appeared to fall out on their own by the time of the ceremony, though, so it worked out fine.
The meeting with the Event Coordinator helped both the planning and the actual ceremony go great. From processional order to family seating arrangements to setup, Weddings at Asbury helped make our classy wedding a classic memory for many.
(My only complaint was the flowers somehow got mixed up and the groomsmen ended up wearing purple corsages instead of white boutonnieres for the pictures before the ceremony. If there was a question about the labels, I would have appreciated someone asking me. Otherwise, fantastic!)
