The Shore Club was a cost-effective choice for our wedding venue. The communication with their event coordinator was direct, easy and quick, making planning straightforward. While the venue itself is dated with a basic design, we felt it was a good value for the price. The simple layout allowed us to decorate the space and make it our own for the big day. Guests commented that they enjoyed the food. We had about 170 people in their large ballroom and it was packed. I wouldn’t recommended for parties closer to 200, unless able to max out all tables at 10-12 guests. For couples looking for an affordable venue option without too many frills, The Shore Club offers convenience and practicality.

Even leading up to the big day, Donna made sure we had regularly scheduled meetings & was able to answer all the questions we had. Living out of state was a stressor for me since I couldn't be close by but it didn't matter at all. Petra & Emily day of the wedding were the best duo. The Hotel itself was the most perfect venue.

From the moment we started planning, The Gramercy exceeded every expectation. When I submitted inquiries through Zola, Megan Dunn was the only person to respond with such detailed, timely information which was a huge relief as this was our first time planning a wedding. She guided us with patience, answered every question, and was always present during our site visits. We chose The Gramercy because of the stunning aesthetics, the warm and welcoming staff, the value included in the cost per person, and the fact that they host only one event per day meaning their full attention is on you. Our wedding on June 12 was beyond perfect. Pauline, our host, truly took care of us, making sure we ate, had drinks, and were enjoying ourselves the entire time. She extended that same care to our families too. The team beautifully set up our décor, and they even included extra decorations to help us save money, which was such a thoughtful touch. The food was amazing, and the desert station blew us away! We also held our ceremony onsite, and Megan was incredibly helpful in navigating that process. She guided us on where to go, helped our officiant get registered, and made sure we had all the information needed to obtain our marriage license. On top of that, the staff worked seamlessly with our vendors to ensure everyone was set up and prepared for the day, which made everything run smoothly from start to finish. Huge thank you to the entire Gramercy team for making our day so special and a special shoutout to Megan for being so kind and helpful throughout the whole process. If you’re looking for a venue that will treat your event with genuine care and attention we recommend The Gramercy to anyone, any day!

My husband and I celebrated our wedding in early August 2024 at Jericho National Golf Club. I do not even know how to put into words how happy we were to have our wedding at Jericho. We worked with Christine throughout our entire wedding planning process. She is the absolute BEST! She went above and beyond to accommodate everything we needed to make our wedding day special. She was extremely flexible when it came to our timeline (the groomsmen arriving earlier than the ceremony, extending our cocktail hour, having my husband’s favorite beer on tap,etc.). She was also always available when I needed to discuss various wedding planning items with her and she was very quick to help us with anything we had questions on. Also, a shout out to Janet who was also amazing on our wedding day and always came over to make sure we were eating, drinking and enjoying ourselves. We also received many compliments about our bartenders who were extremely friendly. The amount of compliments I have received on how beautiful our venue was and how amazing the food tasted is a TON! I am beyond happy with our experience at Jericho and I would recommend to any of my friends & family to have their wedding here. Thank you to Christine and the team at Jericho! I wish I could relive this special day over and over again.

Why Choose New Jersey for Your Wedding Day?

New Jersey gives you four distinct regions with unique wedding settings and styles to match any vision. September tops the charts for wedding inquiries here, so you'll want to plan ahead if you're eyeing a date during peak season. The varied landscapes mean you can find everything from waterfront elegance to historic charm without traveling far.

What Types of Wedding Venues Can You Find in New Jersey?

The venue scene in New Jersey covers just about every style imaginable. Luxury estates like Park Chateau in East Brunswick offer stunning French-inspired architecture with gorgeous European gardens that make for incredible photo backdrops. If water views are your thing, places like Liberty House showcase breathtaking NYC skyline panoramas right alongside the water. History buffs fall in love with venues like Pleasantdale Chateau in West Orange with its historic grounds and Mediterranean gardens.
