High Crest, our 7,000 sq ft indoor-outdoor rooftop with sweeping floor-to-ceiling views of the Atlantic Ocean, is unmatched on the Jersey Shore.

Every detail was excellent!!!

My wedding was the party of the year and the team at The Wave is what made it all possible!!! They were in constant communication with me leading up to the wedding and included so many nice details like menus and signature cocktail signs. I didn't have a wedding planner and I didn't need one with how wonderful and attentive the team at The Wave had been. It was also beautiful with the sunset on the ocean, I could not ask for a better venue.

Unforgettable Ceremony and Wedding

In the past year, we hosted two weddings at the Wave Resort, and both were unforgettable! From our daughter’s 17 person mini wedding ceremony and brunch last July, 2021 to our recent larger ceremony and wedding a few days ago in October, 2022, both were spectacular events!
The venue is magical as you have your ceremony on the large terrace with the ocean as your backdrop. The sound of the waves. and the beautiful view is perfection!
The large windows surrounding the indoors reception space allow views of the ocean and Pier Village with its carousel and many shops. Our brunch menu was delicious! The appetizers , entrees and desserts were all wonderful ! Our Director of Catering , Allison , worked with us offering ideas, suggestions and quick responses to all of our emails to help us plan our custom wedding. Allison, Brittnie, our Maitre d’ and Tyrra, Banquet Mgr. all worked our event day of keeping everything flowing smoothly. The bonus is that they are all really nice people to work with, as well. The entire staff from the front desk , including Patrick , Front Desk Mgr to the servers at the wedding were all pleasant and accommodating.
In addition, we stayed two nights and many of our guests stayed in the hotel. The rooms are immaculate, stylishly decorated and have oceanfront balconies to enjoy.
I highly recommend the Wave Resort for your wedding..
