I had the pleasure of working with Pinstripes in Paramus, NJ as a vendor, and I can't say enough great things about Brette and her team. From start to finish, their service was top-notch. The entire staff was on point and incredibly easy to work with when it came to the logistics of the event. I was even invited to do a walk-through months in advance—something that speaks volumes about their level of preparation, professionalism, and commitment to excellent customer service.

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!

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.
