Capacity & Layout

That layout lets couples pair a ceremony on the Ocean Terrace with a reception in the ballroom, giving the day a natural flow with a genuine weather plan, all with the Atlantic as a backdrop. As the only oceanfront hotel in Spring Lake, the Breakers also lets guests stay right on the property.
