THE BACKYARD
The Backyard at Whitechapel Projects is our open-air oasis in Long Branch, NJ—an urban-industrial garden framed by string lights, native plantings, and the hum of the Jersey Shore. By day, it’s a relaxed hang for pizza nights and Yappy Hour; by night, it transforms for live jazz, micro-weddings, showers, milestone birthdays, and corporate socials. Guests spread out across the patio and lawn while our kitchen and bar serve seasonal plates, local brews, and effortless hospitality.
Weddings, Live Music & Private Events
From elopements and micro-weddings to full-scale receptions, the Backyard adapts to your vision. Host a ceremony beneath twinkle lights, set long communal tables for an al-fresco dinner, or build a casual lounge for a cocktail-style reception with a live band or DJ. The layout flows naturally from welcome drinks to dance floor, with easy guest circulation between the patio, lawn, and indoor bar. For community nights and brand activations, the Backyard functions as a stage, beer-garden, and marketplace all in one.
