“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. Our guests told us the food was out of control amazing! Like they are still talking about it. (I say our guests because my husband and I had like 7 bites of food the entire experience lol.)

“Our wedding at Park Chateau was nothing short of magical in December! We had our ceremony on-site in the chapel and it was absolutely breathtaking. It was intimate, elegant, and the perfect setting to exchange our vows. The reception was stunning to say the least. The staff ensured every detail was flawless, from the setup to service creating an unforgettable experience. Our guests were blown away by the attention to detail. The food was outstanding and cooked to perfection, even our to-go items! The cocktail hour was beyond anything we could have imagined, with an endless variety. From our very first appointment with Dom, we knew we were in the best of hands! Throughout the entire planning process, the entire team was an absolute pleasure to work with. Devin worked with us closely helping us select our menu and coordinating every detail. The entire team was attentive, organized, and truly went above and beyond to make our vision a reality. On the wedding day, Oscar, Dawn Alix, Jeremiah, and Alanna we’re by our side ensuring we had everything we needed. They even had hand warmers/jacket to keep us warm during our photos outside!

“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!”

“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.

“From the moment we stepped foot on the property we knew we landed on somewhere special. It was a no-brainer to pick Birchwood Manor as our wedding venue not only because of the beautiful grounds but how outstanding Farrell is. We had investigated about 10 venues but Birchwood Manor stood apart from them all. After having our wedding we can say how we made the right choice. All of the wedding party was comfortable and able to get ready on site. We were stress free to whole day. Farrell executed our plans every step of the way. She accommodated the entire Manor for us to use the entire day. The food ...and especially our wedding cake was out of this world. Our guests enjoyed our special day as much as we did. We are so very thankful to Farrell and how amazing everything turned out and so happy we chose this venue. To any bride out there I highly recommend this venue.”

“We cannot put into words how incredible our daughter and son in law’s wedding was this past Saturday night. The entire event was way beyond what we even imaged it would be. The Meadow Wood is an absolutely beautiful, elegant venue (inside and outside) with every detail accounted for. That theme continues from start to finish with all they do. The food was not only delicious but was presented in such a way you couldn’t help but simply just say “Wow". We are happy we took a moment to pause and take it all in - from cocktail hour displays, to main course plating, to desserts that went on forever …. – “Amazing!!”. We appreciate all the work, professionalism and hands on attentive approach from the staff (a special shout out to Juan and Becky!!). None of this could have been accomplished without them working together in the same manner. It was seamless. Thank you, George, John, Tim, Charlie, Frank and all at the Meadow Wood for making our daughter and son-in-law’s wedding “the best day ever “as they begin their new life together as a married couple”

“My son and daughter-in-law's wedding was two months ago, and we are still basking in the glow of that beautiful day—and for so many reasons, one of them being our experience with Raul Ruiz and his entire team at The Grove. From the moment we began planning, Raul was an extraordinary partner. I affectionately nicknamed him “The Maestro,” and I think that says it all. His years of experience, including planning his own wedding, give him an incredible understanding of what it takes to create a truly special celebration. Raul asks the right questions, makes thoughtful suggestions, and pays attention to details you may not even know to consider. He guided us with professionalism, compassion, and kindness, while leading his team with confidence and respect. One moment perfectly demonstrated his expertise. We had planned to hold the ceremony at the Carriage House, but 45 minutes before the ceremony, it started to rain. We had to quickly move the ceremony indoors. The Grove team immediately went into action, setting up the chairs and transforming the room in what seemed like no time at all. There was no panic—just a team of professionals who knew exactly what to do. Our guests would never have known we had changed plans at the last minute. And the team! To say they were attentive would be an understatement. We are still talking about our attendants. They anticipated what we needed, made sure we had food and drinks, steamed garments, checked in on us, and handled the little things that could easily have become big things—all with warmth and a smile. Our Maitre d’, Vas, was another standout. He was always nearby, quietly watching over the celebration and ready to step in whenever needed. His calm, professional leadership gave us tremendous confidence. And then there is The Grove itself. The venue was beautiful, the size was perfect, and the facilities were wonderful. The Bridal Suite and Groom’s Suite were beautiful and comfortable and gave everyone a wonderful place to prepare and gather before the celebration. Our 200 guests were so impressed by the cocktail hour. The variety was incredible, and everything was delicious. Some guests actually thought the cocktail hour was the reception because there was so much food and so much to enjoy! Dinner was equally impressive. People are still talking about the filet mignon, and my branzino was fantastic. The chef and culinary team truly delivered. The Bridal Suite and Groom’s Suite were beautiful and comfortable and gave everyone a wonderful place to prepare and gather before the celebration. But perhaps what means the most to us is that our son and his bride were so happy and so proud of their wedding. The Grove helped bring their vision to life and fulfill their dreams for the day. As parents, there is no greater gift than seeing your children genuinely happy on one of the most important days of their lives. When you entrust a venue with such an important family celebration, you want beautiful surroundings and wonderful food—but you also want people who will care about your day and know exactly what to do when the unexpected happens. That is what we found at The Grove. Raul and his team didn't simply execute our wedding. They helped us experience it. And for that, we will always be grateful.”

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!!!

“We could not have asked for a better experience with Maritime Parc for our wedding. From the very first planning meetings through the last moment of our wedding day, their team was incredibly accommodating, attentive, and professional. The meetings leading up to our wedding were extremely helpful. As details came together and timing and logistics continued to evolve, the team was always willing to talk things through and accommodate where they could. Maritime Parc is clearly a well-oiled machine — they do a lot of weddings, and understandably, some things have an established way of being done. But what impressed me was that even within that structure, they never made us feel like “just another wedding.” They found ways to make our experience feel personal and special while still keeping everything running efficiently. I especially want to recognize Priscilla, who technically was not even our day-of coordinator, but somehow became so much more than that to us and our family. My dad is… particular, to put it very nicely , and had a million questions, requests, and concerns throughout the planning process. Priscilla handled every single one with incredible patience, kindness, and professionalism. At some point, she was basically his therapist, point person, and honorary member of the family all in one. She went so far above and beyond what we ever expected, and she was there with us throughout the entire wedding day to make sure everything went smoothly. Having someone we trusted that much there with us made such a difference. And then the wedding day itself was absolutely seamless. Every transition was precise and perfectly timed, from the ceremony to cocktail hour to the reception. Our bridal attendant was an absolute fairy godmother — she anticipated everything I could possibly need before I even had to ask. Even something as small as coordinating exactly when the doors would open for my walk down the aisle was handled flawlessly. There was never a moment where I felt like I had to worry about what was happening behind the scenes. Everything was top notch: the service, the food, the staff, the attention to detail, and especially the level of care they gave us and our families. You spend so much time planning a wedding and worrying about all of the little things, and Maritime Parc gave us the gift of being able to actually enjoy our wedding day because we knew everything was in good hands. It is obvious that this team knows exactly what they are doing, but somehow they still made us feel like our wedding was uniquely important to them — even knowing that ours was one of so many weddings they put on. That combination of experience, organization, flexibility, and genuine personal care is what made Maritime Parc so special to us. We are so grateful to the entire Maritime Parc team, and especially Priscilla, for making our wedding feel so personal and so incredibly well cared for. We would recommend Maritime Parc to anyone looking for a venue that will not only execute your wedding beautifully, but will genuinely take care of you and your family along the way.”
