To put it simply, we could not have chosen a better wedding venue! Working with Sara (our wedding coordinator) was such a pleasure and she helped us make our vision come to life. The service, food, and level of professionalism was incredible and our guests cannot stop telling us how wonderful our wedding weekend was. The only thing we were disappointed about was that the remaining wedding favors (we did bottles of wine) went missing after my mother in law asked them to pack them up. They advised her that they would deliver them to her room, and unfortunately they never did. Aside from that, we were happy with our experience. If you are searching for a venue that feels like a true vacation without having to take a flight, this is the perfect place.

My husband and I were thrilled with the Princeton Marriott At Forrestal for our wedding venue. Overall, their communication was great - there were a few delays early on, but as we got within 2-3 weeks of the wedding, they were on top of everything and made sure we had all the information we needed. The venue itself is absolutely beautiful, and they gave us the flexibility to make the space our own. The wedding coordinator and event manager went above and beyond to ensure our special day was perfect - I didn't have to worry about a single thing on the day of the wedding, as they took care of every last detail. We are so grateful for their exceptional service and highly recommend the Princeton Marriott At Forrestal to any couple looking for a stunning, stress-free wedding venue.

Nassau Inn was a pleasure to work with, and it made our lives SO much easier in the planning process.

Yes, the prices are a little high, but I really felt like we got our money’s worth. Plus, if you choose to get married in a Friday instead of a Saturday, you get a pretty decent discount!
