We had our wedding at the Park Chateau, and from start to finish, the experience was flawless. There’s a reason the Park Chateau is considered the best wedding venue in the state — it’s simply unmatched! The venue is the epitome of luxury, with both the outdoor and indoor spaces being breathtakingly beautiful. The grounds are impeccably maintained, from the vibrant flowers to the tranquil water features. It truly felt like stepping into a fairytale. Guests were absolutely blown away by the setting alone. Every detail, from the architecture to the gardens, was picture-perfect, creating an atmosphere that felt elegant, timeless, and incredibly special. The food was also exceptional! The cocktail hour alone was a standout — our guests couldn’t stop raving about the variety, presentation, and flavor of every dish. Many were genuinely surprised when dinner was served afterward, assuming the cocktail hour had been the main meal because it was that impressive. Both the quantity and quality of the food exceeded all expectations. We received so many compliments from guests about how it was the best wedding food they’d ever had. Most standout, however, was their service. The Park Chateau has an entire team of dedicated professionals who made sure every single detail was executed seamlessly. From bridal attendants literally on their knees scrubbing dirt off my dress, to staff ensuring we always had a drink or a bite to eat, we felt completely cared for the entire day. They checked in on us constantly but never intrusively, even bringing water around while we danced to keep us hydrated and energized. Our families were treated with such respect and warmth, and their kindness and attentiveness were noticed by everyone. The team brought our vision to life with minimal effort on our part, allowing us to be fully present and soak in every moment. The Park Chateau is a premium venue, but it is worth every single penny. It gave us the wedding of our dreams!!

Megan, the director, is an absolutely dream to work with. quick responses, explains everything clearly, a sweetheart. Hotel is super clean, the food is amazing and the staff were lovely. The Maitre De went missing a lot throughout the day, to the point where my uncle had to find her whenever i needed. They set up & cleaned everything up for us which was lovely. the hotel bar stayed open late (sunday wedding) but you couldn’t make it private. so you had people at the bar trying to add to an open tab. you get a room block, the director of rooms Rebecca is very easy to work with as well. the outdoor ceremony space is gorgeous!!!

Truly the absolute best venue. When we first starting looking at venues, Gramercy wasn’t on our radar. We were looking at venues and just didn’t feel like we were getting what we wanted. We took a tour and met with Dean and instantly fell in love!!!! The venue was so gorgeous and we were absolutely shocked at everything that came with the venue. You don’t have to pick from the appetizers or meal upgrades or anything, it’s all included! Dean and his team were the best. Again, I was constantly emailing and texting Dean asking about playing with the menu or how many people at a table or room layout- truly so communicative and helpful. Day of, Pauline was so helpful making sure everyone was where they needed to be. She helped me in my dress and was so attentive the whole day. She even texted us a bunch of pictures that night which was so nice to have!! Unfortunately it rained but honestly the ballroom ceremony was beautiful and the team did such a good job. The food was absolutely amazing!!!! Everyone of our guests was so impressed by the quality and quantity of the food. We had a whole spread from cocktail hour in the bridal suite which was so nice. Really truly could not recommend this venue more.

Our wedding on May 2nd at Grand Oaks Country Club was truly beyond anything we could have ever imagined and was easily one of the best days of our lives! From the very beginning, Margaret was incredible. She answered every single one of my (many) questions with patience and care, making the entire planning process feel seamless and stress-free. The staff went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and taken care of, and that level of attention carried through to the wedding day itself. Everything ran flawlessly, allowing us to fully enjoy every moment with our friends and family. One of the most exciting surprises was the venue's recent renovations. We originally booked without knowing about them, and we were blown away when we saw the updates (especially the stunning new floor to ceiling windows) in the main ballroom, which made the space feel even more elegant and bright. The food deserves its own spotlight. Our guests are still talking about how amazing everything was! From cocktail hour to dessert, every detail was executed perfectly. The grounds are absolutely gorgeous as well, and our photos came out stunning. You would never even guess you're on Staten Island. We truly wish we could relive the day all over again. If you're even considering this venue, do not hesitate to book it! You will be so happy you chose to celebrate one of the most important days of your life here.

The Stone Terrace was my dream wedding venue, so as soon as my husband and I got engaged, I reached out right away for a tour. Throughout the whole planning process, the Stone Terrace staff was incredibly helpful and accommodating. They really helped us tailor our reception so it was exactly how we wanted it! We also really appreciated that they packed up our dinners and our wedding cake for us (we were having so much fun during our reception that we barely got to eat, so that was a pleasant surprise at the end of the night). The staff treats their clients like family, so it’s no wonder they’re so popular in the Mercer County Area for any special occasion.

Nicole was a clear standout from the moment we chatted with her during our venue tour. She was attentive to all of our questions and requests, making the planning process seamless. On the day of our wedding, we had the entire venue to ourselves which was amazing. We leveraged the ballroom side for ceremony and cocktail hour and used the lodge side for reception. Both sides of the venue were warm, grand, and inviting - the perfect backdrop for our special celebration. The team supported us with every aspect, ensuring our in-the-round ceremony arrangements were perfect and that all of our guests were comfortable.

If you’re looking for a stress free wedding, look no further. I can rave about our wedding forever, our event planner Alessandra Moss helped us every step of the way. Our guests enjoyed the heavenly cocktail hour and were impressed with the professionalism of the staff. Day of coordinator Jennifer was attentive and took care of all my bridal needs. We highly recommend booking Nicotras Ballroom at the Hilton Garden Inn for your wedding venue, we had a lot of guests traveling and it was easy for our guests to stay in the hotel. We shared our first look on the beautiful property, there are endless options for photo ops. We were able to take many photos and video inside and outside the venue. The ceremony took place outside on the Gazebo, it was absolutely stunning, the weather was perfect. Alessandra met with us regularly in person and was easily accessible via email. She walked us through the wedding planning and guided us on the next steps of the process. It was a great relief that the venue took care of a lot of the details, and we used one of their vendors Red Carpet Events for decor/flowers and they were fantastic.

From our tour to booking our wedding date, to the countless emails to our tasting and final to our wedding day, the staff at Jumping Brook Country Club exceed our expectations and went above and beyond to make our wedding day unforgettable. Jordan, who is the Catering Sales Manager, but was also our point of contact at the venue was so easy to work with, super professional and kind throughout the whole wedding planning process. She went above and beyond and managed to resolve the small hiccups in the beginning of the process. However, Jordan isn't just a catering sales manager, she's your biggest cheerleader throughout your whole wedding process and in the end became a really good friend. The rest of the staff including Lady, the Maitre D' and Diamond, the Bridal Assistant truly made the day of our wedding special. Whenever my bridesmaids and I needed something, Diamond was right there to help us. Throughout the day Lady was there making sure everything ran smoothly and also, most importantly ran us out food from our cocktail hour while we were taking pictures and let me tell you, what a lifesaver as my husband and I were both starving! Truly from our tour to the end of our wedding night, Jumping Brook made our wedding stress free. The staff made sure not only we were taken care of but felt cared for and that was truly special and something we will both take with us and remember from our wedding day. Also, the food (and wine too) are amazing! Compliments to the chef because not only did we have an amazing tasting but everything food wise during our cocktail hour and reception tasted so good! We love everyone so much at Jumping Brook and thank you for helping make our wedding day unforgettable.

Don’t overlook the Short Hills Hilton for your wedding! It was the perfect location for our big day, offering a central gathering spot where our guests didn’t have to worry about traveling throughout the day. We explored several traditional venues, but none felt as right as this one. We had a November wedding and didn’t expect to have an outdoor ceremony, but the hotel’s lovely patio space was a wonderful option, and surprisingly, the noise from the JFK Parkway wasn’t an issue. For our indoor ceremony, the venue features a permanent enclosed tent structure. At first glance, it didn’t seem like much, but with the help of the event coordinator Vivian Cohen’s help and coordination with our florist, the space was transformed into something breathtaking. The reception space was spacious and perfect for our 170 guests—large enough for everyone to feel comfortable but not so big that it felt empty. Guests still rave about the food and service! The chef and maître d' truly deserve all the praise. The hors d’oeuvres were diverse and delicious, from sliders to a pasta bar to sushi. We chose the salmon and short ribs for dinner, which we selected during a private tasting session. The hotel grounds, filled with foliage, were perfect for photos, especially as we were lucky to have beautiful fall colors for our shoot. Victoria at the Hilton was incredibly helpful with coordinating room blocks, hotel room gift bags, and storage. Vivian was a dream to work with—she was welcoming, communicative, and made everything run smoothly. Her checklist was a lifesaver for keeping track of details, and she was hands-on with day-of coordination, ensuring everyone knew where they needed to be and helping with the little touches that made everything perfect. We couldn’t have asked for a better venue or team to help make our wedding day unforgettable!

The Shore Club was a cost-effective choice for our wedding venue. The communication with their event coordinator was direct, easy and quick, making planning straightforward. While the venue itself is dated with a basic design, we felt it was a good value for the price. The simple layout allowed us to decorate the space and make it our own for the big day. Guests commented that they enjoyed the food. We had about 170 people in their large ballroom and it was packed. I wouldn’t recommended for parties closer to 200, unless able to max out all tables at 10-12 guests. For couples looking for an affordable venue option without too many frills, The Shore Club offers convenience and practicality.

We worked with both Sandy and Gina who were incredibly responsive, kind, and engaged throughout the entire planning process. The venue itself was absolutely beautiful, it is located on ocean ave so you can have beach photos and we were married in December so the whole venue was filled with festive decor (saved us a ton on florals!). At 110 guests, we had plenty of space for everyone to move around comfortably, and we received compliments on the food. We couldn't have asked for a better place, and I would recommend this venue to anyone. I also want to add, we found the pricing to be very fair for the area and were able to have the ceremony, cocktail hour, reception, and after party all in the same building and the hotel rooms are right upstairs.
