Dave and I chose to have a wedding at the shore. Instead of choosing the “typical” wedding venue, we chose The Whitebrier in Avalon, NJ, a popular bar at the Jersey Shore. I, perso...nally, wanted this venue because I always loved the wood-inn-feel it had, plus The Whitebrier’s sprawling space with both indoor and outdoor space appealed to me. Dave trusted me, and since our families are both frequenters of the Jersey shore, he was happy with the choice, especially because The Whitebrier was a laid back choice.
When we visited The Whitebrier in January of 2022 for a preliminary walkthrough, my parents were nervous about my venue choice and, quite frankly, questioned my sanity. The Whitebrier has a red bar room, with a mermaid. I’ll say it again, my parents were nervous.
When Dave and I, our bridal party, and of course, my parents, walked into The Whitebrier on October 8, we were blown away. Our wedding was magical and warm. I still am in awe at how John, with our planner, Ashley, and her team, along with the florist, Amber, transformed The Whitebrier. John, was so accommodating. My parents even said they were wrong; they loved every aspect of the wedding. From the food, the service, to the space itself being able to offer every guest a special experience, our wedding was perfect.
