I got married at Merri Makers Water's Edge last month and the day was as perfect as you could have asked for.
My contact at the venue, Sally, and the DOC, Jason, really took care of everything. We also had a wonderful young lady who would offer my and my bridesmaids food and drinks in the suite (they have a huge bridal suite) and great waiter who was always asking if we needed anything during the reception. We were well taken care of!
They had to move my wedding down the beach a few weeks before the ceremony because they are experiencing beach errosion, so like any bride, I worried a little bit, but nothing could be done, and in the end it was perfect. If anything, it was better because it was completely private! There was nobody else on that area of the beach! They had large golf carts to transport my guests who would have trouble walking so there was no problem. They provide white chairs and a boardwalk so the guests are comfortable. There is also a power outlet down at the beach so my keyboard player could plug in and my officiant used her microphone.
The cocktail hour was great, the food was magnificent- make sure you get the mushroom soup, the french toast, and the little phyllo cups with goat cheese! MMMmmm! My keyboard player from the ceremony played the piano that they have in the cocktail room.
Our reception went perfectly. They provide all the food, alcohol, linens, dishes, ect. They also include a cake (which was delicious- we picked chocolate and yellow cake with raspberry filling.) You can choose from about 25 designs that are included in the wedding price or if you want a fancier cake you can pay to upgrade. You also get to choose from about 50 linen colors. We chose 2 colors and had them alternate on the tables. It looked great. They will set up all your centerpieces and seating cards so you don't have to worry about that stuff. There is also a great patio that my guests enjoyed since it was a beautiful day.
If you are thinking about a beach wedding in NJ, you cannot pass up a tour of this venue. The venue itself, the food, and the service are all excellent! -

I planned a wedding here for my best friend, and they were great. They took care of all the day-of crap, my friends got married in the sand with the Manhattan sky-line in the background, and the bridal party attendant, Tara, made sure the men had scotch and the ladies had pinot as soon as the ceremony ended and the pictures began.
The food was amazing, they were accomodating to the vegans, had a great bar selection as their standard package, and a really pretty, clean venue.
My only complaint is that since this is a beach club as well, there were children throwing their beach balls through the ceremony a little... -

I attended a wedding here this past weekend and it was awesome. The day was perfect, so the view during the wedding on the beach outside the facility was great; water and sand - what the bride always wanted. It was easy to forget that you were in Jersey.
After the outside ceremony, they provided a "de-sanding station" where people could remove sand from their feet with paint brushes. This worked out really well - I was able to easily transition into my shoes.
At the reception the food was great and the service was good. Everyone was pleasant.
Overall great experience. -
