Conveniently located within a day's drive of one-third of America's population with easy access from the New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washington, DC metropolitan areas, the Wildwoods is a beautiful and unique location in South Jersey.
Featuring a convention center that over- looks the Atlantic Ocean, the islandish meeting spaces, hotels, amusement piers, attractions and local golf courses combine to provide a complete meeting or event experience for groups.
WHAT'S NEW
The Wildwoods Convention Center recently unveiled its new railing sculpture and mosaic arts package created by renowned New Jersey artist Tom Nussbaum in July. The Waves Railing Sculpture and Mosaic Arts Package, installed at the convention center entrance, integrates artwork inspired by the forms and images found along the Wildwoods' beaches, boardwalk and amusement piers, along with Doo-Wop architecture and seashore motifs.
"My goal for this project was to create site-specific artwork that transforms the entrance to the convention center into a visually welcoming experience,” said Nussbaum. "The circular motif found throughout the design of the building is also used in the 'Waves' design to inte- grate the artwork with the architecture, and to complement the convention cen- ter's neon artwork.”
Nussbaum has been working on this project since 2007. Titled "Waves," his arts package for the convention center continues to tie in the Wildwoods' pri-
mary event venue with everything else for which the five mile island is known for by its millions of visitors. These new railing sculptures and mosaics are the final phase of the venue's arts package, and are a part of New Jersey's "Public Building Arts Inclusion Act.”
Also new for 2011, the Wildwoods Convention Center is offering a new bridal reception package called "Weddings on a Whim,” which is designed for brides and grooms on a budget who desire an affordable, yet high-end quality reception package for their guests. "Weddings on a Whim" offers one of the lowest per-person price points in the region for a delectable, all- inclusive meal for wedding guests. Starting at just $67 per person, this catering package includes a three-course meal from which two main courses can be chosen, a four-hour open bar, hot and cold hors d'oeuvres, a champagne toast, intermezzo, coffee and tea service, and a choice of standard table linens.
Targeted to those looking to have their weddings sooner than later, couples who book the package and hold their wed- ding within 30 days of their booking will also receive a 10 percent discount on the per-person price. The package does not include a minimal cost of room rental and decor for the ceremony and reception. Convention center room rentals are based on available space and additional charges may apply based on the number of attendees.
PROMOTIONS & INCENTIVES
For meeting planners and event organiz- ers, the Wildwoods Convention Center can customize packages for individuals and groups that include hotel stays, activities and attractions, recreation and more. Packages can be designed for the lone businessperson who wants to enjoy a round of golf before or after an event or meeting, or for convention goers traveling with their families.
