From the reviews
I cannot say enough phenomenal things about Anthony’s Ocean View. We came there from New Jersey and it was only the second venue we toured. From the moment we stepped foot in Anthony’s, we knew that was where we were getting married. We worked with Marcello, who helped to create a package tailored to us as a couple.
We had our wedding at Anthony’s in August 2023 and it was such a great experience. Everyone was super helpful and the venue was beautiful. We still hear from our friends and family that it was the best wedding they have ever been to and the food was unbelievable as well.
We had a perfect experience at Anthony's on our wedding day! We had a brunch wedding, ceremony on the beach, followed by cocktail hour in the garden, and reception upstairs in the Paradise Room. Every aspect of the venue was gorgeous.
Recently shot a wedding at Anthony's. Everything was fantastic. Banquet Director Thomas Nuterangelo was beyond incredible. He checked in with me numerous times to make sure all was going well with the wedding day timeline and events. The cocktail hour at Anthony's is one of the best out there.
Getting married at Anthony's Ocean View
Anthony's Ocean View comes up for weddings — confirmed on their own site. Two things make the tour worth it. First, see the garden at the time of day and season you'd actually get married — a garden that glows at golden hour in June can look very different at noon in March, so ask what's in bloom for your date and walk the path your guests take from parking to ceremony to reception. Second, bring your real questions: the rain plan (where does the ceremony move, and does it hold everyone?), shade and bugs for a summer afternoon, the catering and bar policy, the music curfew, and exactly what's included — tables, chairs, setup, and teardown are where quotes quietly diverge. Popular garden dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
Corporate events & private parties at Anthony's Ocean View
Reviews and the venue's own info mention corporate events, retreats, or private parties at Anthony's Ocean View — garden venues often have real weekday availability since weddings claim the weekends. A quick call answers the three things that matter: weekday and off-season rates, whether the space works for your headcount and A/V needs, and what catering is allowed. If your event lands on a Friday or Saturday in wedding season, ask early.
