Travel & Stay
Our home away from home
Welcome to Asbury Park, our favorite eclectic seaside city on the Jersey Shore! Asbury has a rich history, artistic culture, and (obviously) stunning ocean views. Asbury holds a special place in our hearts - Jordan has been vacationing with his family in the neighboring community of Ocean Grove since he was a kid, and Jordan proposed to Alysha on the beach behind the convention center (pictured above). We couldn't think of a more perfect location to celebrate our love and future together.
