The Courtyard by Marriott in Lincroft, NJ is great for events in this area. They held all of the guests for my wedding the night before (after the rehearsal) as well as the night of (after the party). They are very accomodating and the rooms are clean, nice, and a decent size. I would recommend this if you are staying in the area. Plus, it's located right off the Garden State Parkway....easy to get to....overall, very nice!!!
