The Spring Lake Manor is a beautiful Victorian Mansion, located in the tranquil Jersey Shore community of Spring Lake. Only 6 blocks from the Atlantic Ocean and 3 blocks away from the photogenic Spring Lake Park and Gardens, the Manor is the perfect place to celebrate your special occasion.
Our day was AMAZING. Communication with the venue was amazing the entire time, from touring to the day after. Janine was our day of coordinator and she was so helpful, talked us through everything, gave some ideas based on what she has seen in the past, and helped plan things out. Getting married on a Thursday definitely saved us money, but since it was Veterans Day weekend, we didnât notice a difference with guests not coming or leaving. Food was AMAZING, people are still telling us about it. Our cake was included also, from Chocolate Carousel, and it was DELICIOUS. Reviewed on 06-12-2023

I recently had my wedding at The Spring Lake Manor on 10.28.23 and I can not say enough nice things. Everything went perfect from start to finish, I would not complain about 1 thing. The food was amazing, the staff was super friendly, and the venue itself is beautiful. John is a hands on owner and is always there for you with any question or concerns. Our maitre'd Janine is absolutely outstanding, she is your go to girl the day of your wedding and she will make your wedding visions come true.

John is very professional and very accommodating to work with for any questions you may have or special touches you may add. The entire staff from the planning stage to the night of the event was so helpful, extremely nice and very attentive. They treated us like we were their top priority throughout the whole time we interacted. The food (dinner, appetizers and desserts) was great and everyone raved about it.

Overpromised and UnderdeliveredThe Spring Lake Manor was BY FAR the worst decision that I made for my wedding.First of all, despite spending ten of thousands of dollars, when you show up for your tasting the hostess will ask, âdo you know how long you are going to be here? Because I had no idea you were comingâ. My future-in-laws actually looked shocked that the hostess was so blatantly rude. Three days before the wedding, I dropped off decorations. Janine (the maĂźtre de) dropped one of my candle holders and broke it. She didnât realize that my mom watched her do this when she wasnât looking, so she thought she could get away with lying to us. She told us it was broken when she opened the box. Now the candle was worth $15, itâs not about money. I donât appreciate falsehoods told straight to my face. Itâs insulting and disrespectful. Two days before the wedding, it looks like itâs going to rain. Janine happily told us that the back deck was covered, and that photographs could be taken there. It was a lie. The back deck covering was NOT sufficient to protect against rain. As a result, my entire wedding party got wet. Janine also failed to tell us that she offered the deck because she booked two events inside. Which meant we had no where to go to protect from the rain. My mother (who did most of Janineâs job for her) complained, and thankfully we were granted access to the front hallway to take pictures at the very end of the inside event. As my entire wedding party is posing for pictures in the middle of a lobby, still half wet from Janine locking us outside, the guests from the other event walked right through our wedding party and exited the venue. By this time, my wedding guests are arriving. Janine had to sneak me, in my full wedding gown through the kitchen so they wouldnât see me. So unprofessional. Such a joke. They will claim there is no need for a rehearsal because Janine will be there. ANOTHER LIE. She gave no insight/direction pre lineup. My DJ saw us getting upset and nervous, and thankfully stepped in and did Janineâs job for her. They will claim there is no need to hire a wedding coordinator, because Janine can do the job! Another lie. If she COULD do the job of a wedding coordinator, Iâm pretty sure she would have remembered to give our Best Man the RINGS. Instead, my bridesmaid had to army crawl across the ceremony to the bridal suite to grab them. As if she had an actual goal to prove that she should work in an another industry, Janine spent the rest of the wedding missing. I wasted a half hour of my own wedding desperately asking random waiters where she was. Someone spilled a drink at out sweetheart table, and my husband and I had to desperately beg three different employes for help, because Janine was missing. Again. We ended up standing there awkwardly by the sweetheart table for 10 minutes while our food got cold. The service was so bad that the catering manager (the only competent employee in the entire establishment) took pity on us and offered to help pack up and deliver our decorations. He must be used to having to compensate for incompetence. I cannot believe that I was lied to and treated like a patron at TGI Fridays on my wedding day. John, the owner, should have considered a career in politics, as hospitality is certainly not his strong suit. When I called him to complain about the plethora of mistakes his lying employee made, he basically gave non answers and defended the deceit. The canopy that Janine told me that we could pose under? According to John, that was never weather proof! When I asked him why Janine lied to me and said otherwise (especially because I could have just went to convention hall for pictures instead), he didnât have an answer. He refunded me Janieâs $500 fee, which is literally the bare minimum he could do. When people donât do there jobs, their fee shouldnât be charged. I was not satisfied with the resolution at all. You are spending a lot of money on your wedding. You deserve to feel important and respected. With that being said, please donât make the same mistake I made! Reviewed on 04-07-2023

Rob Caputo(bride)1 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 23-07-2021 We held our wedding here, July 23. At first we spoke to John, and he seemed to be very accommodating. We had a reschedule for Covid-19, and they were absolutely great about the entire process. We scheduled our wedding reception for the larger ball room.Things didn't start to go bad until the day of the food tasting. We were asked if we wanted to do the cocktail hour in the tent outside. We didn't want that. They told us that we were going to have cocktail hour in the room in front of our reception, and that we would have the smaller bar for a private cocktail hour for the wedding party. The morning of our wedding, my wife was using the room downstairs to get ready, and the woman who handles the party briefly mentions to her that we are going to do a combined cocktail hour in the small bar(she didn't fully understand what they were really saying as she was getting her makeup done). I didn't find this out until we arrived at the reception hall. This was not what we agreed to. By the time I found out many of our guests were already packed into the small bar like sardines ( mind you, my dj was not set up in that room). None of our plans were executed the way we discussed. We had candies with our names on them, they were randomly put in bowls in odd places. I tried to let it go, then we were announced, did our first dance. We were told to sit for our first course right afterwards and everyone, all our guests were sitting for about 20 minutes with boring dinner music playing( the dj was very confused at this point as he and i had a conversation about it and he was told food was coming...) and finally salads were served. I feel like the whole thing was poorly executed by the staff. The outdoor area was filthy, i was told that the area could be used for smokers, and that it would be set up for our guests. I felt like we were rushed, and at the end i was moving boxes into my truck while the tables were being cleared 5 seconds after it was over. I felt like we were promised a lot and they failed to deliver. The food was excellent. But the overall experience seemed rushed, and disorganized. Reviewed on 05-08-2021

We planned the wedding ourselves and were amazed at how much SLM did to make the day truly special. SLM has center pieces available for use, which were elegant and perfect for the event. Management was available any time we needed them throughout planning and helped solve any issue that arose.

The outdoor terrace was a wonderful addition to the party! We were in no shortage of photo locations, but still recommend using the Photo Booth!We utilized the Bridal Suite to get ready and were well attended if we needed coffee or anything else.

I cannot recommend the SLM enough as a wedding venue.

I never felt like I was bothering anyone with my questions.On our first visit, John suggested many different ceremony and picture sites in the area. Since I was not a local, that really helped. We had our ceremony offsite at the Huisman gazebo in Belmar. The site was set up beautifully with the chairs and aisle markers, and they even passed out programs and bubbles to our guests. They set up the ballroom perfectly as well. It was everything I wanted and more--so beautiful! The food is fantastic and our guests are still talking about it. We chose NY Strip Steak, Chicken Francese, and Honey-Dijon glazed Salmon for the entrees. We had a couple staff members tending to my husband and I throughout the entire reception to make sure our needs were met, even refilling our drinks all afternoon so that we didn't have to take a minute out of our partying to visit the bar.

I looked at a ton of places in the area and the SLM was hands down the best place regarding location, price, quality, and atmosphere! I had no idea how to plan a wedding reception but John and Janine are pros and thought of everything I could possibly need. They gave me great advice on what to have/what not to have (not one second of upselling me anything I didn't need) and basically read my mind in terms of the decor I wanted for my centerpieces. The food is AMAZING, my guests are still talking about it. The ballroom was the perfect size for my smaller sized wedding.

Vanessa Rodriguez(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 09-11-2013 We had our Dream Wedding at the Spring Lake Manor on Nov. 9, 2013. All we wanted was a small, intimate wedding to celebrate our special day with our closest family and friends with the prestige of having a full Reception/cocktail and room for DJ/Dancing. In NJ that is nearly impossible to find. I was heartbroken that we may have to compromise our dreams to get married. We were fortunate to find the Spring Lake Manor. The owner John Nagle and his wonder staff made our dreams come true. Using their smaller rooms, we were able to have the Ceremony/Reception there where we partied all night long. From our first meeting with John to the very end of our wedding night we were continuously amazed. First of all the place is Beautiful! They have beautiful water/fire features out front and fountain our back, very modern bathrooms, The Grill rm, (used for our cocktail) has a very relaxed lounge type atmosphere, The Atlantic rm(used for our Ceremony/Reception) has a modern beachy feel. For larger parties, The ball rm was very impressive. 2nd the food was AMAZING! I cannot stress this enough. AMAZING! My Guest are still talking about how impressed they were by the Taste, Quality and amount of food. Nobody left hungry! Both the food at cocktail and food at dinner was SO good (my husband and I are Foodies, and are hard to impress) We had the NY Sirloin and Cedar plank Salmon as our food options and they were both Delicious! Very impressed that all the yummy steak dinners came out simultaneously and were all cooked perfectly. Kudos to the all the Chefs! I canât wait to go back there for dinner! Lastly, but most importantly the Staff at the Manor. They are an amazing group of people that helped make our dreams come true. Many guest have told us how wonderful the staff was to them, and I thank you for that. John made sure everything was going smoothly. Every time I saw him he always made sure I was happy and assured me that if there was anything I needed he would make it happen. During the planning I was having an issue with one of my other vendors, with a quick email I told him my situation and almost instantaneously he responded back with a âIâm all over it, no worriesâ and He and His staff took care of it, Thank you John, Janine and Kristen! I even got follow up emails/calls to make sure the issue was resolved ï They are also very responsive to any detailed questions you may have. Kristen was so helpful during the planning. Whenever we had a question concerning the planning, she would respond to my emails immediately, which is quite a relief with so many unresponsive vendors out there. Amanda did an amazing job bringing it all together. Although not our original coordinator, Amanda took charge of the wedding and she did a wonderful job! From getting me champagne when I arrived, decorating, coordinating the events of the day and all the jobs that Iâm sure I donât know about to make the day run so smoothly, thanks a million! The wait staff and bus boys were Fantastic. Guest commented on nice/friendly and how well coordinated food was severed. Personally, I know I always had a drink in my hand and was found when my food was served thanks to them. We also had a wonderful bartender that made PERFECT drinks! There are no words to express the gratitude I have for John and the staff at the Spring Lake Manor. All I can do is to continue to recommend the Spring Lake Manor to others, as they will make your dreams come true! Reviewed on 19-11-2013

alicialyttle (bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 15-05-2013 Spring Lake Manor catered an outdoor wedding reception held at our home in July, 2013. This was a very spontaneous celebration at the urging of friends and family. My husband and I had married in May in a very small and private backyard ceremony. Spring Lake Manor was the only caterer I contacted after receiving rave reviews of their food from a friend. I was not disappointed! They acted on extremely short notice and never indicated my lack of planning presented any obstacles for them. We opted for a cocktail party and the selections of hors d'oeuvres were terrific along with additional chafing dishes which we included. The food was exceptional and the staff over the top! The idea that linens, tables, bar and bar tenders, servers, chef....everything.....could be handled with just one phone call made the experience 5*.
