“Truly no words can capture how amazing our experience with Hotel LBI was. Exactly one month out from our wedding date, our original venue called to tell us they could no longer host our wedding. As fate would have it, Hotel LBI had our date available, and it ended up being the best thing to happen to us. From the very first panicked phone call to Donna, she turned what was a stressful time into a dream experience. She was so empathetic to our situation, willing to work with us, and up for the challenge of putting our wedding together in under 30 days. Every interaction was kind, professional, and encouraging. The entire planning process was seamless despite the time crunch we were in. She makes you feel like you’re the only and most important couple she is working with. We absolute love her!! On the day of, everything went better than we could have imagined. The venue was beautiful, the staff is amazing, and the food is great. The bridal assistant Leah is a super hero. She was by my side all day, with a fanny pack that always had whatever random item I found myself needing. Due to some happy tears, my make up smudged a bit. Not only did she race up to the room to grab my make up bag, she redid the area for me and saved the day. I also spilled espresso martini down my dress minutes before the ceremony, and she quickly got the stain out before I even had time to process it. Vinny our maître D was also there every second with a smile, drinks for us, and asking what we needed. They are truly the best of the best. Our only regret is not booking with Hotel LBI from the beginning. What started as a nightmare, turned into the best day of our lives thanks to Donna and the Hotel LBI staff. I will never forget them”

“I don’t even know where to begin! Our wedding was 5/18/25 but we planned it for over a year and a half. From the beginning, Stephanie was so warming and really drew us into the beautiful venue as it was still under renovation. She made the booking process so simple and showed us nothing but kindness. In the midst of the waiting period of planning, Caitlin became the new venue coordinator who was our go to girl for everything. Anything I threw at her, wanted to change, or was concerned about, Caitlin handled with happiness and ease. She answered a million and one emails from me, met with me multiple times and really helped my vision come to life. I can’t say enough about her because Caitlin really did run the show from the moment we began working together to the very end of our wedding weekend. She helped plan and organize our rehearsal dinner, morning after brunch, and stuck by our sides from the morning of our wedding to the end of our after party (at 2 am the following morning). She was involved in every single step of the decorating and events that took place on our wedding day and I don’t know how would it have all been executed without her. Caitlin is the real MVP of our wedding and I can’t thank her enough for all of the help and kindness she showed toward myself, my husband, and our families. Like I said, anything I threw at her, she handled and took care of with a smile. She really is the best The rest of the staff, Scott, Maddie, and Avery were amazing during our wedding weekend as well. Scott was so kind and helped my family in any way possible with the room bookings and Maddie and Avery also stuck aside mine and my husband’s side to make sure we were okay throughout the day. The staff was all in all, so attentive, kind, and helpful throughout the entire wedding day. Anything we needed, they were all there to help. As far as the wedding, guests are still raving about how beautiful the grounds were and how delicious all of the food was. The bartenders and servers were all so amazing as well. I cannot recommend and thank everybody at LBI National enough for the most amazing wedding day we could have.”

“We had a beautiful wedding at Bishop Farmstead through JAM Catering. We knew we loved the venue when we toured in March 2025, but I couldn't even imagine how gorgeous it would look fully dressed for our wedding in late August of 2026. If you're looking for a gardeny, outdoorsy, whimsical location, Bishop Farmstead is definitely the place. Between the food and the service, JAM is really top notch. Anecdotally, one of our harder to please guests even shared that this was the best food they've had at a wedding to date. But we knew the food was going to be excellent from our tasting, which was a total blast in and of itself. Side note: My husband also commented how on the ball the bartender were. I'd like to shout out our fabulous coordinator Gina and her assistant Kayla. Gina felt like working with your most organized friend. She was super communicative and kept our day as worry-free as possible. We decided upgrade to a package that allowed us to use more of Gina's time and I totally recommend spending the extra money on that. I told her my ideal day would involve no decision making, and she made that dream a reality. Unfortunately, there was a medical emergency right as our ceremony began (everyone ended up being okay, thank goodness!). And I have to give a huge thank you to the whole JAM team, but especially Kayla who was on the phone with 911 in no time at all. Multiple people told me how Kayla kept everything under control; we're lucky we had her! We truly had the best day ever, and had the dance party of our dreams. I can't recommend Gina, Kayla, JAM, and Bishops Farmstead enough. I wish we could get married all over again :)”

I didn’t have to worry about a single thing—she had it all under control, which allowed us to truly relax and soak in every moment.

“My partner and I got married at The Hamilton Manor on Friday, March 27, 2026. We first visited The Hamilton Manor at the recommendation of a coworker. From the minute we walked through the doors, we fell in love with this venue! Each location within the venue offers a different and unique atmosphere - whether it's the sophistication of the Library Oak Room, the whimsy of the outdoor arch and photo ops, or the breathtaking glamourous ballroom. The staff were very professional and our Wedding Director, Cheyenne, was so quick to respond to all of my questions. And as a professional event planner, I had a lot! Cheyenne (Wedding Director), Kristen (Day of Coordinator), Milan (Bridal Attendant), and Lloyd (Maître D') were AMAZING! They were so attentive and were able to anticipate our needs before we even needed them. We've gotten so many compliments from our guests about the staff, as well as the FOOD! So much food! And not just food. DELICIOUS food! Everyone in attendance left happy and full. I cannot say enough positive things about our experience at The Hamilton Manor. We would choose it again and again. It was truly the best day ever and I cannot thank their team enough!”

“Blue Heron Pines outdid themselves! From the communication, the food, the venue itself, everything was amazing. Tara was great to work with throughout the time leading up to the wedding and Sarah was very helpful the day of. I even had a personal coordinator (Jeanine) who made sure I always had something to eat and drink and even assisted with pictures by holding the train of my dress and bouquet. She was always there when I needed something, I can’t say enough good things about her! The venue included everything you could think of. Multiple ceremony sites, reception area, amazing food, open bar, dessert room and even included a wedding cake from their chosen bakery!! Even down to the details..tables, chairs, table linens, napkins, center pieces, etc. It made planning less stressful knowing they provided so much! I highly recommend!”

“*Please note, we booked Cedar Run for the ceremony only* One of the biggest takeaways we received from our wedding was how much everybody liked the ceremony. The beautiful view of the amphitheatre on the lake was absolutely gorgeous, and the weather held up beautifully! We paid extra for the animal ambassadors to make an appearance and it was worth every penny because they were a huge hit with wedding guests. We booked our reception hall first, so we needed a place that would allow us to do only our ceremony, and Cedar Run was the only place nearby that was affordable and actually gave us additional amenities for the cost. Not to mention your donation goes towards the upkeep of the facility and helping out the animals! We were also very big on having a backup plan just in case of inclement weather and they have at least two facilities that could work during rain. The lake, bridge, and woods all make for beautiful shots as you can see. The staff was great to work with and the animals are the cherry on top. Photo Credit: Cyan Blue Photography”

“We got married a couple weekends ago and we have nothing but amazing things to say about everyone at Tomasello. Not only is it a beautiful venue (inside and out), the staff is what makes them stand out amongst the rest. Unfortunately a few days before our wedding we had a family emergency which made the logistics of everything a bit up in the air. Dana went above and beyond to ensure that we had everything we needed and that day of went smoothly. In addition, she assisted in the coordination of a wonderful day of surprise, set up everything so beautifully, and assisted later in the evening with another vendor. And Mac, our day of assistant, was AMAZING and was so attentive to us, and our families. Our day would not have gone as smoothly without the hard work from the entire staff who went above and beyond. We cannot wait to celebrate our anniversary there for years to come.”

“I cannot say enough wonderful things about Park Loft. I am still in shock that I was lucky enough to have my wedding there 3 weeks ago. First, the venue is absolutely gorgeous. Every single detail of this venue is meticulously designed to be beautiful. We loved the eye-catching two-floor reception space, the peaceful outdoor gardens, the clean and elegant ceremony space, etc. It is the perfect venue if you are looking for rustic, but want something more modern than a barn setting. It was the perfect combination of rustic, historic, elegant, modern, and traditional. Is this possible? With Park Loft, YES. Next, the organization, communication, and preparation from the staff was next-level. Allie and her team were there to answer every email and question I had. They were professional and responsive. They made sure I had all the paperwork I needed in advance, emailed us friendly reminders, and walked us through everything we needed to do so that we didn't get overwhelmed. After our final details meeting, we felt like we were in such good hands. These people leave NOTHING to chance, yet adapt to whatever you need. Therefore, they are the perfect venue if you are a Type A person OR a Type B person. One of my vendors said he has never worked with such an organized venue before. Next up, the service on the night of our wedding was absolutely wonderful. So many guests came up and told us that they have never received such attention at a wedding before! Park Loft prides itself on table side service and it elevated our wedding to the next level. The waiters, bartenders, security personnel, attendants, etc. all were so professional and seemed to genuinely love working there! As for me and my bridal party, our Maitre D Lindsay G., my main attendant Emily, and all the others took care of EVERYTHING. Once I walked through those doors, I did not have to worry about a thing. I felt like a princess being doted on. Need a chair? They will pull one up. Need band aids for the blisters from your heels? They will find them. Need earplugs at the end of the night? There they are! Need a rag to wipe your sweat because it's 90 degrees? Right away, sir! Need help bustling your dress? Four girls shuffle you off to help on a moment's notice. (These are all true needs we had) I am overcome with gratitude with how well my guests, my husband, and I were taken care of. Finally, the food! Our number one goal for our wedding was to have good food for our guests, and Park Loft did not disappoint. We had 3 stations - Asian, Italian, and Greek. Delish and so much better than your average cheese-and-crackers table. Every one of the 10 passed hors d'oeuvres was better than the last. Plus, again, each one was unique, like lobster quesadillas, the mini Cuban sandwiches, or chicken and waffles. One guest commented, "I have never been to a wedding where the passed hors d'oeuvres were such big portions!" Every single one of the 4 entrees were fantastic, and we know because we arrived at our sweetheart table to find portions of them ALL. The chef came around afterwards and asked all the tables how they liked their food, which was just another thing that makes Park Loft a step above the rest. They say you get what you pay for, and I have found this to be true for Park Loft. You will not regret a single penny, trust me. You will make one of the best decisions by choosing Park Loft. I wish we could get married all over again to experience this wonderful venue!”

Inspired by the creativity and energy of the Whitechapel District of London, this versatile venue strives to redefine how art permeates our daily life– be it through food, drink, performances, events, and other forms of artistic expression. The Whitechapel Projects was developed in a 120 year Warehouse complex through an environmentally friendly construction process called adaptive reuse. Adaptive reuse takes a structure that has outlived its usefulness, deconstructs it, and rebirths it using its original construction material. During the deconstruction process, we harvested 72,000 bricks, over 3 tons of timbers, tin ceilings, doors, pipes and even plywood. The harvested material was used in the reconstruction process to pave the courtyard, build walls, furniture, bars, tables , tap handles, and more.
