A Wedding Experience Designed for Flow and Elegance

Say “I Do” in the Waterview Chapel

The Waterview Chapel is a purpose-built ceremony space designed specifically for indoor weddings. Located just steps from the main venue, the chapel offers a peaceful and intimate environment with floor-to-ceiling windows that showcase stunning waterfront views. This beautiful space eliminates the need to repurpose reception areas, allowing couples to enjoy a smooth and uninterrupted event flow.

The ambiance inside the Waterview Chapel is romantic and serene, with neutral tones and natural light that work effortlessly with any wedding style or décor vision.

Celebrate in the Spacious Atlantic Cocktail Room

Following the ceremony, guests are welcomed into the Atlantic Cocktail Room, a bright and expansive space that creates the feel of an outdoor celebration—while remaining fully indoors. Large windows fill the room with natural light, creating an open, airy atmosphere ideal for socializing, enjoying hors d’oeuvres, and soaking in views of the Manasquan River.

The layout allows guests to move freely while savoring a generous cocktail hour, a signature part of The Crystal Point experience.

Dance the Night Away in the Crystal Ballroom

After cocktail hour, the celebration continues in the Crystal Ballroom—a grand and elegant space designed for unforgettable receptions. Featuring intelligent lighting, polished finishes, and a neutral palette, the ballroom offers a refined yet flexible backdrop for any wedding aesthetic.

With room to accommodate up to 300 guests, the Crystal Ballroom is ideal for both intimate gatherings and larger parties. Couples and guests alike enjoy a comfortable layout that supports dinner, dancing, and entertainment without ever feeling crowded.
