“Hamilton Manor is one of the best venues we toured, not only is it gorgeous but it’s the most affordable one in New Jersey without the loss of luxury. Every space gives a completely different vibe, where you’ll have your guests on their toes, excited to see where they will be led to next. It gave so much more to the experience. It included everything we wanted, rustic, ballroom luxury and our favorite speakeasy vibes. From the very beginning the staff was incredible. We knew we were getting the all inclusive experience. There was little to no stress planning a wedding (in four months, mind you) with this team by your side. Special thank you to Diana who was there every step of the way making sure all the boxes were checked, but also a shout out to Madison and Andre, everyone made you feel like family from the second you walked through the doors. Every staff member knew who you were before even introducing yourself. Reagan, Caitlin and Nymere were also great, and let me tell you Gail their server bought the night alive! Not just staff but part of the party! If you’re wondering if you should book this venue, I’m here to tell you it’s a no brainer! Even last minute changes such as having the ceremony inside instead of outside (due to weather) was handled with such grace. We didn’t have a thing to worry about and the ceremony room looked phenomenal, not as if they just slapped it together day of. The day ran so smoothly and still getting compliments on the food (plentiful and delicious) and what a beautiful space it was.”

The day of was stress-free, not a thing went wrong, and they made everything so seamless and looks so effortless. Audrey was our attendant and she was on the ball. They just made everything so fun, high energy and stress-free. Carmelo was running things during the reception and honestly, I don’t think anything could’ve gone better.

“From our first conversation with the Chelsea Sun Inn team, we knew we had found our venue. Their staff was responsive, helpful, and easy to work with throughout the entire planning process. The space itself is stunning and gave us everything we needed in one location. Plenty of indoor/outdoor area for our guests to roam without feeling cramped, and the 24-hour access meant we could set up and celebrate without rushing. Having accommodations right on-site kept our closest family and friends around late into the night, which made the celebration feel even more special. We loved that they allowed us to bring our own caterer, and the pool and jacuzzi were the perfect touch for our guests. Everyone is still talking about how perfect the day was, and we couldn't have done it without Chelsea Sun Inn! Special thanks to Alex, Jimmy and the whole team for going above and beyond!”
