Many New York couples assume a destination away from the city means a long journey for everyone they love. It does not. TillingHouse is a comfortable drive from Lower Manhattan, Staten Island, and Brooklyn, and reachable from across the tri-state area without the weekend traffic of the far East End.
Your guests trade the tight footprint of a city ballroom for gardens, terraces, and golf-course views, and they arrive relaxed rather than road-weary. The Jersey Shore setting feels like a getaway that never asked anyone to travel far.

City weddings ask you to fold a big day into a small room, and to pay a premium for the privilege. TillingHouse offers the opposite. The Ballroom welcomes up to 500 guests beneath its 52-foot marble-top bar, with a garden terrace of two built-in bars, a stone wall, and a wishing well just beyond the doors.
For a more intimate gathering, the Byron Nelson Room seats up to 75 under cathedral ceilings with a private bar and golf-course views. One property holds both the grand celebration and the quiet one, so the room always fits the day rather than the other way around.
Everything served at TillingHouse is prepared entirely in-house, led by Chef Ryan DePersio, one of New Jersey's most respected chef-restaurateurs and the name behind Battello in Jersey City and Fascino. Executive Chef Dennis Mathews leads the kitchen day to day.
The kitchen is part of the house, not a vendor on the schedule. New York couples who care about a genuinely memorable meal find a restaurant-quality kitchen already in the building, from an elevated cocktail hour to the last course of the evening.
A celebration is rarely a single room. TillingHouse gives you the grand Ballroom for the reception, the Parlor with its one-of-a-kind 1926 fireplace for the ceremony or an intimate dinner, and the Parlor Bar opening onto a private terrace above the Suneagles golf course for the first pour of the evening.
Getting ready happens in the Bridal Suite, with an on-site hair and makeup salon, three salon chairs, a separate bridal station, and two baths. A Family Suite and a Game Room of billiards, shuffleboard, and barber-shop service keep everyone comfortable through the day.

How far is TillingHouse from New York City?
TillingHouse is in Eatontown, New Jersey, in Monmouth County on the Jersey Shore, a comfortable drive from Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Staten Island. Most of your New York guests reach the venue without the long trip a far-flung destination would ask of them. We are glad to help you and your planner map the easiest route for the wedding party.
Can we still book a 2027 date?
Yes. We are now booking 2027 weddings, and openings remain across the season. Dates are held first-come, and the calendar for a coastal venue this close to the city moves quickly, so the surest way to secure the date you want is to request it early. Tell us your ideal weekend and we will confirm what is available.
How many guests can you host?
The Ballroom welcomes up to 500 guests, which comfortably exceeds most city ballrooms. For a smaller celebration, the Byron Nelson Room hosts up to 75 beneath cathedral ceilings. Whether your list is grand or intimate, we have a room that fits it, and the culinary and service are the same at every scale.
Do you handle the catering, or do we bring our own?
All catering is prepared in-house, so there are no outside caterers to source or coordinate. Our kitchen is led by Chef Ryan DePersio, with Executive Chef Dennis Mathews running the day-to-day, and menus are crafted to restaurant standards from cocktail hour through dessert. It is one less vendor to manage and one of the reasons couples choose us.
Is a Jersey Shore venue better value than a city ballroom?
Couples often find that the Shore offers more space, more of the day included in one place, and a genuine sense of occasion, without the premium a comparable Manhattan room commands. Rather than quote a single figure, we walk you through exactly what your celebration includes on a private tour, so the value is clear before you decide.
What is included when we book?
Your celebration includes the space itself, full in-house culinary, and the amenities that make the day easy, from the Bridal Suite with its on-site salon to the Family Suite and Game Room. The clearest way to understand everything included is a private tour, where we tailor the details to your date and guest count.
