Jackie & Pat’s Timeless Celebration at Jumping Brook Country Club and Monmouth University
Jackie and Pat’s wedding day on June 13, 2025, was the perfect blend of elegance, joy, and heartfelt moments, set across two stunning New Jersey venues. With preparations and the reception hosted at Jumping Brook Country Club in Neptune Township and their emotional ceremony held at Monmouth University, this wedding was filled with love, laughter, and unforgettable scenes.
Getting Ready at Jumping Brook Country Club
The celebration began bright and early at Jumping Brook Country Club, where Jackie was surrounded by her closest friends: Lynne, Colleen, Tori, Ryan, Holly, Tristan, Katie, Liv, and Natalie. The room buzzed with anticipation, laughter, and excitement as hair and makeup—thanks to Kelly Butler Artistry and Haley Noviello—brought bridal visions to life.
In a separate suite, Pat prepped with his guys: Ziggy, David, Tim, Alex, Michael, Bailey, Vince, Nick, Chris, and Tom. Candid moments, jokes, and bonding created the perfect foundation for the day ahead.
First Look and Private Vows at Jumping Brook
At 1:00 PM, Jackie and Pat shared an intimate first look at Jumping Brook, where they also exchanged private vows. Emotions ran high as their sweet puppy made a special appearance, delivered by their dog walker, creating one of the most heartwarming photo ops of the day.
Bridal Party Fun and Family Moments
Before heading out, the bridal party gathered for fun and elegant photos around the beautifully manicured grounds of Jumping Brook. At 2:00 PM, the couple left for the historic campus of Monmouth University to meet family for portraits before the ceremony.
By 3:00 PM, family photos began in the picturesque gardens of Monmouth University, a setting that offered timeless architecture and soft afternoon light perfect for capturing generational love and connection.
Outdoor Ceremony at Monmouth University
At 4:30 PM, guests gathered for Jackie and Pat’s heartfelt outdoor ceremony on the lush campus grounds. The couple’s vows were emotional and personal, complemented by readings from their beloved aunt and uncle. With a beautiful breeze and golden sunlight, the ceremony closed with a joyful first kiss, setting the tone for the celebration to come.
Cocktail Hour & Reception at Jumping Brook
Everyone returned to Jumping Brook Country Club for the cocktail hour at 6:00 PM. With stunning floral arrangements by Flower Barn at Locust Pointe and ambiance enhanced by C4 Event Group, the setting was pure magic.
The reception began at 7:00 PM, with a lively entrance followed by a romantic first dance. Jackie shared a touching dance with her father, and Pat with his mother, setting the stage for speeches from the father of the bride, the best man, and two maids of honor that had everyone laughing and tearing up in equal measure.
A unique cake cutting off to the side added charm to the evening, and while there was no bouquet toss or garter tradition, the energy on the dance floor—powered by New Power Soul Band—kept guests celebrating late into the night.
Transportation was handled flawlessly by Long Branch Trolley, and behind the scenes, wedding planner Kristen Stahl and content creator Amanda Cianni of Beyond Your Day ensured every detail was perfect and every moment beautifully documented.
