The Sunset Ballroom has it all - the views from inside and outside are the best of what the Jersey Shore has to offer. After looking at venues throughout the area, the Sunset Ballroom had both the best waterfront location and the best price point ... we didn’t have to choose. The best part is that the venue is attached to Jack’s and the Warfside Patio Bar, so we can come back each anniversary and raise a glass to all the great memories we made at the Sunset Ballroom.

We absolutely loved having LBIF as our venue! We were thankful enough to have s beautiful sunny day so we did our ceremony on the beach, cocktail hour outside LBIF, and reception inside the gallery. The gallery is so beautiful already with the artwork and bistro lighting, so there was no need to add decorations. We had 100 people and there was plenty of room for the guest seating plus a large dance floor. The staff was so kind and allowed us to drop stuff off the day before and pick up the next day. What I love most about this venue is the flexibility. We were trying to work with a budget and had the flexibility to choose the catering, alcohol, dj, coordinator, rentals, and decor all at the price we wanted. Great for a budget couple looking for ways to cut costs.

We loved the Inn at Glencairn for our event. The space was perfect. It was a blank space and our florist was able to decorate with our style and budget in mind. The staff was easy to work with and professional. It was wonderful to be able to have our guests stay the night before and after the event. Highly recommended!
