All-Inclusive Micro Weddings on the Water in New Jersey
An intimate wedding experience designed for meaningful celebrations along the Jersey Shore
Micro weddings offer a more personal way to celebrate, focusing on connection, atmosphere, and intentional details; a specialty of ours. The River Queen in Brielle, New Jersey provides a one-of-a-kind setting where your wedding unfolds on the water. With exclusive use of this private riverboat, your celebration feels immersive and entirely your own. As you cruise along the Manasquan River, Point Pleasant Canal, and Barnegat Bay, changing views and open skies create a naturally beautiful backdrop for your ceremony and reception.
For Celebrations That Feel Personal by Design
A space that feels open, intimate, and unmistakably yours
The River Queen is uniquely suited for micro weddings, offering a layout that allows your celebration to feel both spacious and intentional. With a smaller guest count, each part of the vessel can be used thoughtfully, creating an experience that feels open, relaxed, and personal. The lower deck becomes a dedicated space for dining and personalized touches, such as custom décor or photo booths, while the upper deck transforms into a natural gathering place for music, dancing, and celebration under the open sky.
Where the Celebration Unfolds Naturally
Each moment flowing easily into the next
Weddings aboard the River Queen are designed to feel continuous, with each part of the day flowing naturally into the next.
For those choosing to hold their ceremony on board, the upper deck overlooking the Manasquan River offers a setting that feels intimate and open. For others, the River Queen becomes the setting for a reception following an off-site ceremony, allowing the celebration to begin directly on the water.
As the riverboat departs, cocktail hour, dining, and dancing unfold seamlessly. Guests are free to move throughout the vessel, enjoying different views, gathering on deck, or relaxing indoors as the celebration continues along the Jersey Shore.
Everything Considered, Nothing Overcomplicated
An all-inclusive experience designed to feel absolutely effortless
The River Queen offers all-inclusive micro wedding packages designed to simplify planning while still allowing for a high level of personalization. Each wedding includes coordination, catering, bar service, and a dedicated team that guides you from your first conversation through your event day.
As a private charter, the entire vessel is reserved exclusively for you and your guests. There are no shared events or outside parties, allowing your wedding to unfold seamlessly from beginning to end. A dedicated captain and crew manage the experience throughout your event, ensuring everything runs smoothly from departure to return.
Ceremonies Officiated by a USCG License Captain

Couples also have the option to have their ceremony officiated on board, adding a meaningful and memorable element to the experience.
