Gatsby on the Ocean. An oceanfront ballroom at Jones Beach
With the Atlantic a few steps from the ceremony lawn and a landmark building at your back, Gatsby on the Ocean is Long Island's premier oceanfront setting for weddings, milestone celebrations, and private events.
The Atlantic is the centerpiece. Everything else is built around it.
Gatsby on the Ocean sits inside the historic West Bath House at Jones Beach, where arched windows open onto open water and the architecture does the work of a private resort. Miles of sandy shore start at the edge of a landscaped lawn, and a balcony above it all gives every celebration the same view.
The kitchen is run by a team of chefs who treat coastal cuisine seriously, and the event managers handle catering, decor, and transportation coordination so the day runs without a host having to run it. Service here is measured by the details, the ones guests remember and the ones they never notice.
Events run from 30 to 260 guests, indoors or out, from oceanfront weddings to corporate meetings, fundraisers, bar and bat mitzvahs, sweet sixteens, communions, and showers. Every celebration includes linens and napkins in your choice of color, coat check, bathroom attendants, directional cards, personalized menu cards, and the bridal suite.
Six ways to spend a day at the ocean's edge.
From vows on the sand to the last sparkler of the night, every part of a Gatsby celebration is built around the same view.
The Oceanfront Ballroom
Coffered ceilings, chandeliers, and a wall of arched windows facing open water. The room seats a full-scale wedding without ever losing the ocean from view.
The Lawn and the Shoreline
A landscaped lawn with miles of sandy shore just beyond it. Exchange vows with the waves behind you, then walk straight into cocktail hour.
The Covered Ocean Deck
An outdoor covered deck built for cocktail hour with ocean views, and an oceanfront bar for the evenings when guests would rather stay outside.
The Boardwalk and the Facade
Landmark architecture on one side, open dunes on the other. Portraits here look like nowhere else on Long Island, in any season.
Sunset on the Dunes
The reason couples book the date. Photographers get the dune grass, the open sky, and a sunset over the water without leaving the property.
Late Night at the Beach
Sparkler exits, dancing that runs long, and a farewell framed by the historic facade. The last hour is planned as carefully as the first.
