High Crest at Wave Resort offers a 7,000-square-foot indoor-outdoor rooftop with sweeping floor-to-ceiling views of the Atlantic Ocean, plus a 2,100-square-foot rooftop terrace. Paired with 67 posh guest rooms and a heated pool with a swim-up bar, it’s a genuinely modern, elevated Jersey Shore option. Here’s the fuller guide.
Rather than a ground-level ballroom with ocean-adjacent positioning, High Crest is specifically a rooftop space — floor-to-ceiling windows and a substantial outdoor terrace put the Atlantic directly in view from an elevated vantage point few other venues can match.
Expect a modern, luxury-resort aesthetic — the property includes a stunning dressing suite, a heated pool with a swim-up bar, a world-class spa, an Italian-inspired restaurant, and a new lobby bar, all contributing to a genuinely upscale atmosphere.
A terrace ceremony option is available as part of the rooftop space — check current promotions, since a 50% discount on terrace ceremonies has been offered for 2026 weddings.
The 2,100-square-foot rooftop terrace offers strong cocktail hour space with those same sweeping ocean views, letting guests linger outdoors before moving into the indoor portion of High Crest.
High Crest accommodates up to 300 guests — a substantial capacity for a rooftop venue, reflecting the space’s genuine 7,000-square-foot footprint.
Pricing. Reported starting figures run $11,500 to $13,750 for 50 guests, with other sources citing prices starting at $14,000 — request a detailed written quote for your specific date and guest count.
Current promotion. For 2026 weddings, couples can choose between 50% off a terrace ceremony or a complimentary room for the couple on the wedding night — ask specifically which option applies to your date and which makes more financial sense for your plans.
On-site accommodations. With 67 posh guest rooms, this is a genuine option for keeping your wedding party and close family on-site — factor this into your lodging plans for out-of-town guests.
Resort amenities. The heated pool with swim-up bar, world-class spa, and Italian-inspired restaurant all suggest a genuine wedding-weekend destination rather than a single-day venue — consider building additional pre- or post-wedding activities around these amenities.
The rooftop’s floor-to-ceiling ocean views offer strong photo opportunities throughout the day, but golden hour on the 2,100-square-foot terrace is likely the standout moment — plan a dedicated portrait session there as the sun sets over the Atlantic.
