About

Founded in 2002, Branches has become one of the most popular event venues/reception halls in New Jersey, not to mention one of the most talked-about Monmouth and Ocean County, NJ caterers. Located at the former address of the landmark Squire’s Pub, which occupied this site for 30 years, Branches was the brainchild of local resident John Lombardo, the former manager of Ocean Place Hilton/Conference Resort in Long Branch. He and his fellow owners made a significant investment in the facility, including a spectacular, floor-to-ceiling renovation with a plush bridal suite, plus a magnificent new outdoor waterfall garden. 

Branches, whose name derives from a stately magnolia tree that graces the front of the building, was formed to provide the area with a personalized, affordable, full-service catering facility. Now among the most sought-after central New Jersey event locations and wedding facilities, this expansive 14,000-square-foot luxurious space is ideal for any type of affair from a bar/bat mitzvah party, to corporate parties and events, to high-school reunions–and holds up to 700 guests for an all-facility event.

At Branches, we’re ready to cater to your needs. Whether you’re throwing a wedding, a sweet sixteen celebration, a surprise birthday party or a New Jersey corporate event, we’ll gladly tend to every detail so you can enjoy your guests.
