I know this way out there, but did anyone ever hear of anyone gettting married at the Ramada Inn in lakewood?
As for the other places mentioned, how are the prices? Molly Pitcher, Lobster Shanty etc?
I have never been to the Ramada in Lakewood (grew in Red Bank), but it does not sounds like a great place for a wedding. While they do advertise on their website that they have a banquet hall, the level of service a typical Ramada provides would make me lean away. That being said, I would definitly talk with them, get references from them and talk to people who have used the hall, catering service etc... They may end up having a great price and if others who have used them have positive things to say, then go for it.
As for the Molly Pitcher, it is a quite elegant hotel in Red Bank that provides an excellent level of service, but with a higher price tag. Other places to consider (again with potentially higher price tags) are the Oyster Point Hotel in Red Bank, the Ocean Place Resort & Spa in Long Branch, the Sheraton in Eatontown, and maybe someplace like McLoone's Riverside in Sea Bright I think is a great setting with very good food.
I think the Lobster Shanty on 33 probably would do a good job as well, but I have never eaten there.
I hope this helps!

I have heard of weddings in the Ramada. I was at a dinner recently there, its a decent Ballroom. Can't comment on the prices. You may wanna check Chateau Grand in Lakewood they make weddings there. (There was a republican fundraiser for chaney there in '04)
Lori,
I got married at the Chateau Grand in Lakewood in 2003. IT WAS WONDERFUL! I also blocked out rooms at the Ramada for my guests b/c it is so close to the Chateau Grand. The rooms were very nice. The banquet hall is also pretty nice at the Ramada. Their prices were comparable to the Chateau Grand but I wanted the "Castle" atmosphere as I got married at the hall. The pricing at Molly Pitcher was too high for me and I've never heard of the Lobster Shanty. I would highly recommend the Chateau Grand though. I had my wedding in October on a Sunday night (Columbus Day weekend) and it was $90/head. That's about the range I was looking for. I hope this helps and enjoy your wedding.!
Hello! Actually my friend was married there. They did a wonderful job. There were about 200 guest. The Ramada is the best on price I think it was about 75 per person where the others are over 100. Good luck!
