Jack's Rooftop runs 4,686 square feet and holds roughly 200 guests, which makes it the largest single space this hotel publishes a guest count for. It is enclosed, it looks at the Atlantic on one side and the Manhattan skyline on the other, and it sits above a working oceanfront hotel at 80 West Broadway in Long Beach. That last part is the whole point. Allegria is the only venue in this batch where out of town guests can sleep in the building, and the only one where the ceremony can happen on a rooftop pool deck over the ocean.
Two marketplaces agreeing on $149 and $189 to the dollar makes this the most reliable per person pair in the batch, and it is still not a quote. Add a ceremony fee of $2,750 or $3,750 depending on season, then add a service charge nobody publishes. The real advantage here is the room block, which removes transport and lodging from your problem list. Ask what the total looks like once the unpublished service charge is applied.
We read the hotel's own weddings, venues, catering menus, preferred vendors, room blocks and kosher events pages plus its Knot and WeddingWire listings on 10 September 2026. Checked September 2026. First party means the venue’s own site or rate card; marketplace means The Knot, WeddingWire, Zola, Wedding Spot or similar. Nothing here is averaged or estimated.
The Wedding Spot listing for this hotel has been removed and now returns a not available message, and the hotel publishes no founding year, room count or current ownership on its own site.
The hotel runs a room block programme and publishes it on its own site. For a wedding with travelling guests, that solves the hardest logistical problem on the list: nobody drives home, nobody negotiates a shuttle, and the after party has somewhere to go.
It also changes the shape of the event. A hotel wedding tends to become a two day wedding by default, with a welcome drink the night before and a breakfast the morning after. Both of those cost money and neither appears on any published rate.
The hotel also runs a dedicated kosher events programme, which it publishes as its own page rather than as a line in an FAQ. WeddingWire adds a complimentary tasting two months before the wedding.
WeddingWire describes the standard flow and it is unusual: the ceremony takes place on an oceanfront rooftop pool deck, cocktails move into a glass enclosed rooftop lounge, and the reception drops to a ballroom at boardwalk level. Three different elevations across one evening.
The hotel's own page gives the Grand Ballroom as divisible into sections of 3,444 and 2,542 square feet, and Jack's Rooftop as an enclosed 4,686 square foot venue for approximately 200 guests. WeddingWire counts three event spaces in total and puts the boardwalk level ballroom at 3,400 square feet, a small disagreement with the hotel's own 3,444.
Vertical movement is worth thinking through carefully. Two hundred guests moving from a pool deck to a lounge to a ballroom depend entirely on lifts and stairs, and the pool deck is open air on the Atlantic. Ask how long the transitions take with a full guest count, and ask what happens to them when it rains.
This is an odd disclosure pattern. The catering menus page carries real numbers, and every one of them is an add on. A sushi enhancement is $25 per guest plus a $200 chef fee. An iced seafood enhancement is $25 per guest plus a $200 chef fee. Dessert enhancements are $10 additional per person per selection. Cordials and cognacs are $10 additional per person. A pasta station carries a $200 chef fee, a steakhouse station the same, and a chocolate fountain rents for $350. Lobster is market price.
What is not published is the thing those add on to. No buffet or plated package total appears anywhere on the hotel's site. A Premium Brand Open Bar is stated as included, and a Deluxe Brand Open Bar carries an additional fee that is not stated. Enquiries go to the catering office by phone.
So a couple can price the chocolate fountain to the dollar and cannot price the dinner. That is backwards from how a budget gets built, and it means the first phone call has to do all the work.
WeddingWire lists $149 per person as an off peak starting price and $189 per person as the typical spend. The Knot carries the identical pair. Two platforms agreeing to the dollar is unusual in this batch and it raises confidence, though it is still marketplace data rather than a venue rate.
Peak season is April through October and off peak is January through March, so the $149 covers a narrow winter window on the beach. Starting prices exclude service fees, taxes, gratuity and rental fees in the standard way.
WeddingWire lists what the starting rate covers: bridal suite, tables, chairs, linens, flatware, glassware, parking, cleanup, dessert, wedding cake, open bar with house liquor and wine, bartenders, champagne toast and specialty beverages. Note house liquor, since the hotel's own page says premium is included, and those two descriptions do not obviously match.
The ceremony carries its own charge: $2,750 off peak and $3,750 in peak season per WeddingWire, with The Knot listing $2,750 without distinguishing the seasons. There is no reception site fee.
No exclusivity claim appears on the hotel's site or on any marketplace. WeddingWire counts three event spaces, and this is a functioning oceanfront hotel with public dining and a rooftop pool. Assume other guests will be present in the building and ask what that means for the pool deck on a July Saturday.
No event length, end time, overtime rate or music curfew is published either. Long Beach is a dense residential beachfront city and the ceremony space is an outdoor rooftop. A municipal noise limit would be unsurprising. No source states one, so we are not asserting it, and it is the question we would ask first.
The service charge is also unpublished. No percentage, administrative fee, maitre d' fee or bridal attendant fee appears anywhere. The $200 to $350 chef fees are the only extra charges the hotel itself discloses.
WeddingWire gives an overall range of 50 to 190 guests, The Knot bands it 151 to 200, and the hotel publishes a guest count only for Jack's Rooftop at approximately 200. The hotel's own page says capacities vary and leaves it there. The practical ceiling is around 200, which rules this venue out for a large wedding and makes it a strong fit for a mid sized one. WeddingWire also lists a 50 guest minimum, the lowest in this batch.
The hotel publishes no opening year, no architect, no room count and no ownership statement. We found a reference to a hotel management group inside the page markup, which is site code rather than a published fact, so we are not printing it as one. No marketplace gives a founding year either. This property has changed hands more than once over its life, so if the operator matters to you, ask who runs it now and get the answer from a person.
One listing caveat worth flagging: the Wedding Spot listing for this hotel has been pulled and now returns a message saying the venue is not available. Every other source is live and current, so read that as a listing removal rather than a closure.
The fit is a wedding of 100 to 200 with travelling guests, a couple who wants an ocean ceremony and a short walk to bed. The fit is poor for a large guest list, for anyone who needs sole use of a property, and for anyone who cannot get a service charge percentage before signing.
