If you are planning a wedding, commitment ceremony, vow renewal, or hand-fasting ceremony, you will find our rustic chic space to be an affordable, open and welcoming venue.

Murray Grove is located on 20 wooded acres in Lanoka Harbor, New Jersey along the Jersey Shore near the Barnegat Bay. We are just 90 minutes south of New York City and east of Philadelphia, and are easily accessible from literally anywhere in New Jersey.

Due to our purposely simplistic and natural surroundings, we are able to provide value for your money while still offering a beautiful and deeply meaningful ceremony.

Murray Grove offers all inclusive indoor and/or outdoor options.

Facilities and Capacity

This event space can also host a range of wedding related events, like engagement parties, showers, elopements, and rehersal dinners.

Murray Grove can accommodate ceremonies as intimate as 12 and as large as 60 indoors, or up to 150 outdoors. Your ceremony can take place in our outdoor chapel or any other area of the property you fall in love with.

The cozy dining room accommodates 60 guests comfortably for either a sit-down or buffet-style meal service. Additionally, tents may be rented to increase dining capacity.

The Moon Arbor is a favorite for many, with an adjacent grassy berm surrounded by calming woods. The labyrinth is a great way to quiet the mind, recover a balance in life and help reduce stress. It appeals to people as a non-denominational, cross-cultural blueprint for well-being. There is also a stadium sized lawn for rented tents for larger outdoor events.
