Small Wedding & Reception Venue in Monmouth County
For couples who never wanted the ballroom. A private club with three pools, open lawn and a clubhouse that seats 100 — or the whole property after 7pm.
100 indoors · 500 with the grounds · Members & non-members
Not a hall. A club, for the afternoon.
Most wedding venues in Monmouth County sell the same evening: a carpeted ballroom, a plated dinner, and another wedding finishing down the hall. Howell Pointe is for the couple who wants the opposite — an outdoor ceremony by the water, a reception under open sky, and one hundred people who actually know you. The clubhouse seats 100 year-round. After 7pm from May through September the whole club is yours, pools lit, for up to 500. There is no bridal suite and no grand staircase, and if those are what you are picturing this is the wrong venue. If you want your wedding to look nothing like the last four you attended, it is the right one.
- One wedding. Not three.. A single event at a time. No second reception behind a partition, no other couple in your photographs, no shared cocktail hour.
- Ceremony and reception in one place. Say it on the lawn with the water behind you, then walk twenty feet to dinner. No shuttle, no gap, no second venue to book and pay for.
- A chef, not a catering contract. Food is cooked on site by our own chef and the menu is built with you. Every item comes as a half tray or a full tray, so the spread matches the headcount instead of the package.
- The photographs are the venue. Three pools, an open lawn and a deck that faces the sunset. Your photographer does not have to work around patterned carpet and a drop ceiling.

Wedding questions, answered.
One hundred seated inside the clubhouse, year-round. From May through September the whole club is available after 7pm, which takes it to 500 across the grounds. Most weddings we are a fit for land between 60 and 120 — big enough to feel like a wedding, small enough that you speak to everyone.
Yes. The open lawn and the pool deck both work for a ceremony, and having both here means no travel gap between the vows and the first drink. Tell us the guest count and we will walk you through which space fits.
No — we are a swim club with a clubhouse, not a hotel, and we would rather tell you that now than on the walkthrough. Couples who book here typically get ready nearby and arrive dressed. If that is a dealbreaker, we are not the right venue and we will say so.
The clubhouse is open year-round and seats 100, so a winter wedding indoors works. The grounds, the pools and the outdoor ceremony space are a May-to-September proposition.
No. Private events are open to members and non-members alike.
It depends on the date, the guest count and whether you want the clubhouse or the whole club. Send us those three things and we will quote it. There is no deposit to ask, and we answer within one business day.
No. Private events at Howell Pointe are open to members and non-members alike.
Two answers, because there are two spaces. The clubhouse seats 100 at tables — that covers most showers, birthdays, communions and dinners, and it books day or evening all year. With the grounds open we go to 500, which is how schools, camps and big evening parties use the property.
Private use of your space for your window, seating, your menu cooked by our on-site chef, and setup and breakdown by our staff. What "your space" means depends on which of the four ways you book — the clubhouse, the whole club after 7pm, a roped-off poolside area in the daytime, or a group buyout for a block of hours. Everything is confirmed in writing in your quote.
Yes, and the clubhouse is the reason. It runs all year, day or evening, seating up to 100 with its own bar — so a February shower or a December company dinner is a normal booking, not an exception. What changes in winter is the pools, which close; the grounds are still there, and we can add heated tented space on the deck if you want the outdoors as well.
