Why you'll love this venue

  • Space for a large guest list
  • Provides catering services
  • Venue is completely outdoors

Venue considerations

  • No on-premises lodging options
  • Does not allow pets
  • Large venue, not ideal for small guest lists
I made a list of all of the things that were most important to us about the ceremony (toes in the sand), the reception look and feel (outdoors and laid back) and what it would be like to work with the venue and the coordinators and the other vendors (easy and detailed). We searched thoroughly because we wanted a place that would deliver a nearby location for a whole weekend. The Deauville Inn was ideal and working with Judy was perfect. Judy guided me through all of the details, was responsive and in touch all the way -- giving me the tools that I needed to make decisions, including great vendor recommendations. Our day was perfect -- and I remember every moment including the entire ceremony (thank you to Judy for telling me to breathe before you sent me on my way!) The Deauville Inn has a great set up -- the food is terrific, the setting is beautiful and the whole staff was a pleasure to work with. Thank you for giving us the most beautiful memories!!

This Insane Idea Photography

  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style

  • Serves Strathmere, NJ

We are Mark & Brittany Edman, NJ based wedding team. Mark created “This Insane Idea” with the vision that anything is possible. As your lead shooter, he had a passion for photography his entire life, capturing moments around him in the most authentic ways until one day Brittany told him “go full time”, it was insane. He fell in love with wedding photography and the emotion it brought out for everyone involved. Coming home so happy with unique stories and photos from all over the state, Brittany knew she needed to join him on wedding days. Having a background in hospitality for 20 years Brittany began coordinating the day alongside Mark.

Awarded Best of Zola
When it comes to Mark and his team, I don’t even know where to start. Everyone always said to me, “when you find the right photographer, you’ll know.” I had no idea what that meant, and browsed dozens of vendors- until my venue (The Inn at Millrace Pond) tagged This Insane Idea in one of their Instagram photos. We knew immediately that we had to book Mark. We went above our initial budget, and we felt confident doing so- I can tell you their prices are hugely fair and they deliver what they promise. We had an extremely helped Zoom call with Mark, and at first we’re very anxious because he was going to be sending two of his staff, Tom and Kristen because he personally was unavailable our date. He ensured that Tom came with him for our engagement session. I can tell you- there was absolutely ZERO reason for us to worry, and we knew this as soon as we met Mark and Tom. Mark and his team are truly artists, and can find beauty in the best of moments- I will never forget being crouched in my beautiful gown like Gollum, plowing my way through cocktail hour food in between photos- because they captured it. I love how they captured moments that were truly US, and how their portraits still managed to capture the many huge personalities of our families, friends, and us. They were excellent at communication, and made sure we were always in the loop. They walked us through our timeline in specific detail. And on the day of, as I was trying not to have a panic attack because we were running so behind (no fault of the photographers), Kristen and Tom more than kept it together, which made us feel so relaxed. They made sure to include a portrait of me and the ladies of my family where we were holding my mom’s wedding album, and I can’t tell you how much it meant to me. Even our detail photos were exceptional. I find myself looking at our photos frequently; reliving each moment they captured. We are so incredibly grateful to them for everything they did for us. I also wish I could express how important our engagement photos they took for us are to us. I weirdly am getting emotional writing this, because while you hire vendors and hope for the best- This Insane Idea gave us more than the best. I cannot recommend them enough!

Bryanna was kind and professional from beginning to end. After our trial appointment, I unfortunately ended up losing my hair due to alopecia. I asked Bryanna if she would be able to style a wig. She did some research and agreed to do it even though she had never done it before. My bridal hair came out so beautifully. I couldn't have asked for more kindness, talent, and professionalism.

She took my very minimal comments from the trial and implemented them perfectly for the big day—I’ve never felt so beautiful!

My makeup put stayed all night and looked fantastic in photos. Mandy was also incredibly professional and organized. She provided a detailed timeline for myself, my bridal party, mom and (now) mother-in-law for the wedding day, which was so helpful for coordinating with my hair artist and keeping everything running smoothly. She was always prompt and responsive via email. I can’t recommend Mandy enough!

During my initial trial, Monica made me feel as if I was just hanging out with a friend who happens to be amazing at makeup, and I booked her on the spot. The day of the wedding, she was nothing short of professional and made all of my bridesmaids, mom and MIL feel extremely comfortable. Everyone was extremely thrilled with how their makeup turned out as well, which I find isn't always the case when you're a bridesmaid, and echoed my sentiment of feeling as if they were hanging out with a friend the whole time. I definitely recommend working with Monica - you won't regret it!

Being able to look back, remember the great laughs, and reminisce a particular night is what we all look forward to. Our goal is to help everyone remember one of the best nights by telling your story through our eyes. There is no better compliment than for you to show your loved ones what happened through one of the best days of your lives.

Victor with Victory Photographs was a lifesaver after we had issues with our original photographer and had to find a replacement. He was responsive, kind, and respectful in all of our communications leading up to the big day. On the wedding day itself, Victor struck the perfect balance between guiding us to get great photos while also letting my husband and I enjoy our reception. His friendly demeanor put us at ease. The end results speak for themselves - Victor captured all of the special moments of our wedding beautifully with his high quality work. My husband and I felt relieved knowing we were in good hands with Victor. We'd highly recommend him to any couple looking for a talented, professional photographer who also makes you feel comfortable in front of the camera.

HIiii!! I’m Melissa! I’m a Wedding & Boudoir Photographer based out of Asbury Park, though I’m originally from Florida. I’ve been in the wedding industry since 2017, and I’ve loved every minute of it. I am all about being your hype person, connecting with you and creating an authentic friendship that yields a great experience and amazing photos. I love to capture my couples naturally and authentically, while adding an artistic touch to our photos. I can’t wait to hear from you!!

My husband and I worked with Melissa from engagement shoot to wedding and she was incredible every step of the way. Neither of us are overly confident and Melissa was able break us out of our shell a bit and captured photos that felt like us. Melissa was very professional, kind, supportive, and her communication with both us and the venue was punctual and easy. She was our easiest vendor to work from our side and the venue! I highly recommend working with Melissa. We’d book her again in a second!

Alex and his whole crew are the absolute best! From day one him and his wife Sandra made things so easy for us. The great hospitality continued throughout all of our planning and our wedding.
