So long, summertime. It’s time to welcome autumn wedding season. While there’s a lot to love about summertime weddings – especially with the Sterling Ballroom in Eatontown, NJ being so close to the Jersey Shore – there’s something undeniably romantic about saying “I do” in the fall.  Here are just a few reminders of what we love about autumn weddings in New Jersey.

The great outdoors. Summertime heat waves and last-minute storms won’t be putting a damper on your outdoor ceremony. There’s a much better chance of just-right weather for the big day. Pair that with the Sterling Ballroom’s beautiful pergola surrounded by natural greenery and you’ve got the perfect setting for a rustic, romantic wedding day.

Fall fashion. Brides: now’s the best time to wear boots under the gown, rock a dress with sleeves, or slip a beautiful wrap over your shoulders. Or, be bold and add a pop of color in the form of a ribbon belt. Any of these fall-friendly fashions are a fantastic way to add a little personality to your wedding day look.

A getaway for guests. The Sterling Ballroom at the Hilton DoubleTree couldn’t be a better location to take in the best of the Garden State. Your out-of-town guests can enjoy your wedding ceremony and reception, stay at the hotel onsite, and take a few days to explore New Jersey in autumn. Our venue’s Monmouth County location is minutes from a university, a quaint downtown hub, the Jersey Shore, and numerous gardens and parks.

Strong, shimmery colors. Autumn is the time of year for orange, red, and yellow hues to shine. These rich, luscious colors look good everywhere – from your bridal bouquet to the bridesmaids’ dresses, and even lighting up your reception. (And, be sure to ask about the Sterling Ballroom’s LED lighting enhancements, and see how it looks below!)

No matter where on the calendar your dream wedding date lands, know that the Sterling Ballroom in Eatontown, NJ (and our sister venues) have what it takes to give couples a perfect wedding day. Learn more about our wedding packages or contact us for a personal tour.
