Crystal Plaza 

5.0

Livingston, NJ
  • Venue
  • Up to 350 guests
  • All-inclusive
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $40,000

Before it became our beloved event venue, the historic Crystal Plaza was originally a residential mansion. The initial Livingston, New Jersey-based residence was built in the late 1800s by famed architect Stanford White, who was responsible for designing the Tiffany building on Fifth Avenue, the original Madison Square Garden complex among other landmark structures. While the restored building has since been reincarnated as one of the leading wedding and event spaces in the tri-state area, it still maintains the feeling of its 19th century grandeur. Our impeccable, white-glove service begins the moment you arrive. Crystal Plaza hosts only one event at a time, ensuring that our dedicated team focuses singularly on you and your every need. From the elegant Grand Ballroom boasting numerous chandeliers (how the Crystal Plaza name came to be) to the lush gardens that change beautifully with the seasons, there are myriad backdrops to complement your wedding, social affair or corporate event.

Why you'll love this venue

  • Allows pets
  • Combines timeless elegance with history
  • Provides setup and cleanup

Venue considerations

  • On-site parking not available

The wedding was an absolute dream! Everything was fantastic, everyone was really great to work with. They made everything so wonderful and so easy. At no point that day did I feel stressed or worried about anything going wrong, my husband and I felt we were in good hands the entire day. Everything flowed so smoothly, and the staff went above and beyond what we expected. For all his bristling, my dad had an amazing time and could not stop gushing about how professional and classy everyone was. Back when I booked, they told me, "Welcome to the Crystal Plaza family!" I used to think that was just a cutesy line, but after the way everyone treated us and handled that day, I get it. We felt they really did treat us like family, and it felt like everyone was not just happy to help but excited to celebrate with us, too. Due to some unforeseen global events (not the pandemic), our guest count ended up being notably below the minimum. The team worked with us to come up with a solution, and on the day of the wedding, they surprised us by upgrading the dessert: they made the whole cocktail room into huge Viennese dessert stations. Everyone was completely floored; it was like nothing anyone had ever seen before. My goal was to have a wedding no one would ever forget, and we met that goal 100%. I wish weddings were the type of event one could do multiple times because we would absolutely come back again and again.

Livingston, NJ
  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style

Planning a wedding is a lot. And you probably have a laundry list of to do's that you'd like to start checking off. But if we had to guess, when it comes to a photographer, you don’t want: Someone who is unorganized. Or someone who doesn't know when to take control. Or someone who tries to get too artsy or creative with weird angles and gimmicky editing. Or someone who treats you like a dollar sign/number. You don't want just *anybody* taking pictures of your wedding... Because this day only happens once. And these pictures will be something you come back to again and again over the years. Well, you're in luck!

Mike Zawadzki Photography was a pleasure to work with from start to finish. Mike and his assistant Gracie were incredibly clear, kind, and organized throughout the entire process. Their communication was excellent, and they made sure we felt at ease and confident every step of the way. The quality of their work is truly exceptional - their unique and artistic approach captured the beauty and emotion of our special day in a way that exceeded our wildest expectations. We loved working with Mike and Gracie, and we highly recommend them to any couple looking for an amazing wedding photography experience.

Livingston, NJ – Where Your Wedding Dance Becomes Unforgettable! At Dance Cult Studio, we specialize in creating extraordinary wedding dances that are fun, trendy, and uniquely tailored to each couple. Whether you have a specific vision or need guidance, we craft classic, modern, or playful choreographies that match your style and music choice. From first dances to father-daughter, mother-son, or bridal party performances, we make every moment special. Let’s create a dance that’s as unforgettable as your big day! Located in Livingston, NJ, Dance Cult Studio offers wedding dance lessons.

We initially took three lessons at Fred Astaire, but found it incredibly expensive and, honestly, a bit outdated. The styles they offered were very traditional and didn’t align with what we envisioned for our wedding dance. A friend recommended Dance Cult Studio, and it was a game-changer! Their young, talented instructors created a stunning choreography for my husband and me, plus a separate dance for my father, who had never danced before. The experience was amazing! Unlike Fred Astaire, which insisted on 12-15 lessons, Dance Cult Studio was flexible—they offered just 8 lessons, but we added 2 more to feel extra confident. The results were beyond our expectations, and we couldn’t be happier! Highly recommend

Working with Miranda, Raquel, and Kylie was a true pleasure. Kylie assisted us at our rehearsal the day before our wedding, practicing the ceremony to ensure we understood the process and best practices for each bridal party member. Miranda and Raquel were there for us on our wedding date, helping set up decor, running to get breakfast for the bridal party, and being the point of contact with all our vendors. At one point, as the bride, I was getting overstimulated with all the pictures being taken in a short amount of time, and Miranda/Raquel had my back by making sure I had water and 30 minutes to center before our ceremony. I'd recommend Start Rose Creations to family and friends for any event.

We're a husband/wife photography duo. We're college sweethearts and we're currently expecting our first child in June 2021! We are so happy to be in this business but we didn’t always know we’d become wedding photographers. Seth spent about 10 years in video production (aka the equipment expert) and Nicole is an advertising art director (aka the artsy perfectionist).

Seth was so wonderful to work with. He was generous with his time, taking our ideas and bringing in his own, and shooting both engagement and wedding photos that truly exceeded our expectations. He and his team are kind, genuine people who are easy to communicate with and who we loved spending our wedding day with. We are so, so grateful and recommend Hyde Photography to anyone! We can’t wait to show our kids these photos someday. ️

Absolutely Incredible Experience with Posh DJs! We live in Florida and got married in New Jersey, so I did all of the planning remotely. After reading glowing reviews, I reached out to Posh DJs—and from my very first meeting with Nicky, I knew he was going to be our DJ. That turned out to be one of the best decisions I made for our wedding! Nicky and the Posh team went above and beyond to make our day unforgettable. The energy, the music, the packed dance floor, and even the robot—everything was just amazing. Our guests are still talking about it and telling us it was the best wedding they’ve ever been to (some even said better than their own)! If I could give 10 stars, I would. Nicky, thank you for giving us the night we dreamed of. I’m still in awe. Worth every single penny. You made our wedding EPIC! Thank you, thank you, thank you! Friday the 13th Bride and Groom.

MMUAV Pro is INCREDIBLE. Having never had professional services done before, I had so many concerns: my eczema-prone skin, if my hair would stay volumized, if there was experience with a wide-range of complexions and hair textures for my bridal party, etc. etc. etc. The list went on. For myself, Norma DID HER THING with the makeup! No flare ups or skin irritations all day. The natural glam was spot on with what I was envisioning. Linda was AMAZING with my hair! Everything came out perfect and the curls sat so beautifully on my collar bone. The airbrush was super light and didn't irritate my eczema-prone skin at all. For my family and bridesmaids who had services done, they were all so happy with their hair and makeup! Norma, Linda, Omayra, and Chantelle were so wonderful. They knew how to work with everyone's skin type, facial structure, and hair texture. Everything held up so well. From inquiring to the trial and wedding day, MMUAV Pro was always kindly available. I couldn't have imagined anyone else doing hair & makeup for the wedding. They made my vision come to life. Everyone was so professional, calm, fun, and just overall had a great attitude from start to finish. This day was so special for all of us. So grateful for Vicky and Linda for taking the time to listen to all my thoughts, questions, and concerns throughout the way. Thank you isn't enough, and I hope this review helps so many others with similar concerns I had. THANK YOU MMUAV PRO!!!

Awarded Best of Zola
Working with Angie was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. My husband, mom, and I often talked about how incredible she was and how we couldn’t believe we thought we could plan the wedding without her! We started planning on our own for the first year and then brought Angie on for the final three months—it was completely worth the investment (in hindsight, I wish we had hired her sooner). Angie is beyond generous with her time. Our weekly meetings, scheduled for an hour, often extended to two, and not once did she make us feel rushed. Her entire approach is so thoughtful—she took the time to really get to know us and our families, and she truly understood our vibe. Then, she took everything to the next level, suggesting creative touches we’d never have thought of, like turning our seating chart into a map of NYC with table names for different neighborhoods! One of the biggest reliefs was having Angie coordinate directly with all of our vendors. She worked with everyone—our venue (Tavern on the Green), rehearsal dinner and brunch venues, hotel, hair and makeup teams, band, photographer, and baker—meaning we didn’t have to manage any of that ourselves. She even managed our payment schedule, which was such a huge help. Angie was always full of great ideas, and she didn’t just come up with them—she would go ahead and make them happen! From printing all of our signage to supplying candles, photo frames, and even ring boxes, she has everything you need. Her calm, empathetic nature and fantastic listening skills made the entire experience enjoyable and stress-free. Honestly, we were so sad when the wedding ended because it meant no more weekly calls with Angie! If you’re even considering working with her, I cannot recommend her enough—she is a true gem!

  • Serves Livingston, NJ

I'm Angelica, the owner of Dawnpoint Studios! I'm an adventurous and internationally requested wedding/elopement photographer with a focus on sustainability! Here's an unexpected fact - I hated weddings when I first started second shooting them. It broke my heart to see couples being rushed, overwhelmed, and not truly having any connection to couples. That's what drove my passion to breath a fresh air into the wedding experience! Plan with intention, focus on being present, and building genuine relationships with couples! You should be heard, appreciated, and understood. You should feel encouraged to get married your way.

Awarded Best of Zola
Read for my true heartfelt experience with Angelica at Dawnpoint, but in short - hire her. This should be the easiest decision you make in your wedding planning journey. I came across Dawnpoint after she documented the wedding of someone I know. Those pictures felt so authentic and real. They took me right to the event and made me feel so much. I knew I needed to meet her. From my initial zoom meeting with Angelica, we hit it off. I said I wanted to get the best views in our pictures. She was on board right away. For our engagement pictures, she took us on a hike. Chris and I showed up in hiking gear with our formal wear in our packs. So did Angelica. This may seem so minuscule but for two people who had never been photographed and just wanted someone to make them feel comfortable and to capture something real, this made us trust her from the get go. Needless to say, those pictures were amazing. We even used them for our save the dates! Fast forward to our wedding day in Lake Placid on June 15, 2024. My goals were ambitious but Angelica was on board every step of the way. From creating the timeline to executing the plan the day of, it was the least stressful part of our day. What I loved most was that she listened to my vision and incorporated it in everything she did that day. I even forgot that I wanted a specific picture of my dress, but she definitely did not. When I was getting ready, she had my bridal party share personal stories of us and it was so sweet, I felt so connected to the people closest to me that day and it helped me stay grounded and present from the beginning. For our first look, we wanted to meet at the top of Whiteface Mountain. This was 40 minutes away from our venue and logistically a lot of things could go wrong. Yet, Angelica was a smiling face reassuring me that we could do it. Everything from asking for us to skip the elevator line, to clearing the space on Whiteface for Chris and I to get our moment. I was and remain truly speechless of how she actually made this happen. The pictures speak for themselves. After, we returned to our venue and without delay resumed with a first look with my dad (which I added last minute and was meeted with so much excitement from Angelica). One of my favorite parts was golden hour pictures. I take zero credit here. This was Angelica’s idea and I am so thankful. It was a truly beautiful and authentic experience to photograph the newly wed joy I felt. This is just one of so many ways in which Angelica showed that she was as present and invested in our day as we were. After receiving my sneak preview pictures, I was honestly met with so much emotion. I was brought right back to each moment and exactly how I was feeling. I am truly blown away because if anyone can get a picture to tell a thousand words, it is Angelica. She perfectly captured our day and was the single most best decision I made that day. Unsolicited feedback from my guests: “Your photographer smiled the entire night! She looked like she was having so much fun!” This was feedback I got multiple times and it goes to show much Angelica loves her job! P.S. Jake, her second shooter, was also an absolute pleasure. Together, their energy was infectious.
