Nestled along the scenic Manasquan River in Brielle, the River Queen is a waterfront wedding venue in New Jersey and a distinctive setting for private events on the Jersey Shore, offering an experience unlike any traditional banquet hall or ballroom. Our classic Mississippi-style riverboat pairs a relaxed yet elegant atmosphere with all-inclusive planning, catering, and service, creating a seamless experience for weddings, milestone celebrations, and private gatherings on the water.

 

Whether hosting a ceremony and reception or a special event with family, friends, or colleagues, each celebration is thoughtfully coordinated by an experienced team from the moment guests arrive to the final return to dock.

 

As the River Queen glides along the shoreline, every event is shaped by its surroundings, with open-air views, coastal breezes, and a setting that evolves moment by moment. Sunlight reflecting across the water, the movement of the river, and the natural beauty of the Jersey Shore create an atmosphere that feels both relaxed and memorable, where the setting itself becomes part of the celebration.

My name is Samantha, and I’m the lead event planner of Massa Planning and Design, based in Monmouth and Ocean Counties, NJ. I’ve had the pleasure of working with clients on multiple weddings aboard the River Queen, and every time I hear a couple has chosen this venue, I genuinely light up with excitement...Every experience I’ve had on the River Queen has been nothing short of exceptional. I wholeheartedly recommend this venue to any couple looking for a memorable and smooth-sailing celebration—pun absolutely intended.
