Greate Bay Country Club was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. Their communication style was organized, thorough, and professional throughout the entire planning process. The quality of their work and overall value was exceptional - the venue was clean, beautiful, and incredibly well-kept. On our special day, the venue looked absolutely gorgeous, and the staff, led by the amazing Danielle, were 5 steps ahead of us the entire time, keeping us on track. The day after the wedding, the venue staff had already organized all of our belongings together, making it super easy for us to pick everything up. And our guests raved about the delicious food!

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!

Thank you Allison (sales/catering director), Jordanna (sales/catering coordinator), Nemo the maitre d, Andrew the front desk at the hotel, and Stephanie of the banquet staff. This wedding was a team effort! I want to thank all of these people for working so hard to make our dream wedding become a reality. Allison was amazing, she responded to all of our emails, our millions of questions, even sometimes in the middle of the night. She even informed us of a promotion to help us save and obtain a complimentary Sundae Scoop station. The food @ Sterling Ballroom was fantastic. We had an elaborate cocktail hour which our guests are still talking about. One of our guests said she “ate her weight” in spanakopita, and multiple guests were commented on both the quantity and quality of the food. Our entrees were delicious(NY strip steak and ginger Salmon), and our guests seemed to enjoy their entrees (above options plus boursin cheese roasted chicken breast). The Sundae Scoop featured an ice cream bar complete with all the sundae toppings and Belgian waffles!! The cake provided through the venue from Chocolate Carousel, was moist and delicious in addition to being stunningly beautiful. We also chose to splurge on the perk-up station which came with coffee, espresso, fun dipping options, and featured a variety of liquors to pair! We only considered venues attached to a hotel. Sterling Ballroom is located at the DoubleTree by Hilton Tinton Falls/Eatontown, NJ. We wanted to make sure that our guests had an option to book at the venue so that they could retire to their room whenever they felt the need. In our immediate party we utilized standard rooms, junior suites, the bridal suite (only during day time of the wedding day) and the presidential suite. All of the rooms were newly renovated and attractive. Not only did they look good, but the rooms were well adorned with ample power supplies including usb charging ports. The Presidential suite was a huge selling point. This was an elaborate suite and could sleep up to 6 guests in the room and even had a fireplace! The night before the wedding, my bride-tribe had a sleepover in this suite to make sure we were ready bright and early for our early morning makeovers! At 6:30am, the bridal suite/lounge was ready for us to do our hair and make-up and looked absolutely spectacular. I am a major fan of elaborate chandeliers and the bridal lounge had one! The bridal lounge had 4 salon chairs, several refrigerators for storing food, and also a wine refrigerator. The venue even provided us with a complimentary bottle of champagne! One of our girls organized a brunch in the suite, catered by Joe’s Bagels, and there was plenty of space for the whole spread in addition to all of our gear getting ready for the big day! While my ladies were getting ready in the bridal lounge, the groom's squad were getting ready in the Presidential Suite! This was huge because I wanted to make sure that the men had a place to get ready and take good pictures lol! I am a sucker for pretty chandeliers and the Sterling Ballroom had gorgeous chandeliers not only in the main ballroom, but also the event foyer and the cocktail space! The entire team did a wonderful job decorating the entrance area and ballroom. I would recommend this place not just for the beautiful esthetics, but also for the fantastic team that was an honor to work with on our special day!

I would highly recommend this wedding venue to anyone and everyone! Libby, Aly, and Victoria took special care to make sure our wedding day was perfect, and they were there for us all the way through the process! All of our decor was set up beautifully, exactly what we wanted with very little instruction given to the staff. The bakery they partner with provided us with a very beautiful and tasty cake. Everything was perfect, from the sound, lighting, and drink & food service, and not to mention, the food was absolutely delicious! They also made sure our beach ceremony went effortlessly, and they smoothly transitioned us to the venue for the reception. All of this with a beautiful view to boot!
