Ballyowen Golf Club was an excellent choice for our wedding venue. The communication with the staff was very seamless throughout the planning process - they were extremely responsive and helpful in answering any questions we had. The venue itself is a large, beautiful space that provided great value for the reasonable price. On the day of the wedding, the Maitr D Marc was attentive and ensured everything ran smoothly. Our wedding coordinator Lee was also fantastic, not missing a beat in executing all the details. The entire staff was so friendly and willing to help make our special day perfect.

We were married on 5/10/25 & I still am beaming ear to ear about my experience at Minerals Hotel. From the moment we stepped on the property to view the venue, we knew it was special. Rachel greeted us and gave us the grand tour & made us feel so comfortable. Her bubbly personality and enthusiasm for the space and everything they had to offer really sold us. We fell in love with everything. I did not realize my experience would be getting that much better with Dana as my coordinator. She went above and beyond to help us. She answered any and all of questions, she gave me honest feedback, and always put my needs ahead of anything else. She’s a professional & a saint. My whole experience as a bride was made better from her being there for us throughout the whole experience. Our wedding day went extremely smooth & I don’t know if it would have went that way without her and her team. Our wedding weekend was everything we could have wanted and more. The minerals hotel staff took care of everything and made everyone feel so comfortable. I cannot tell you how many people are still texting us about how amazing everything was and how they want to find more excuses to come to this hotel & have another event. For the weekend, we opted for a welcome party for all of our guests the night before & offered snacks and a cash bar in the diamond room- it really set the scene for the whole weekend. Our bartender that night kept the drinks flowing and everyone had the best time. The late night snacks were really good too. We also opted for a farewell brunch the day after the wedding in the same room and it was perfect. The breakfast buffet is unmatched & was much needed after a night of partying. We got married in the Sweetgrass Pavilion at Minerals hotel and it was perfect. Not only is the pavilion itself beautifully designed but the staff were on top of everything. They made sure that everyone had what they needed (which was a lot for a 180 person wedding) and were so organized. Our lovely bridal assistant, Kya, made sure my husband & I ate, were hydrated and even had to do a quick tailoring job for me to make my dress more comfortable to dance in haha. The dance floor was perfect for a big dance party, the chicken roulade & filet mignon were divine, and the bartenders made a fabulous lemon drop martini (my choice haha) There was not one thing I could say wrong about the whole night. The makeup artists (Marisol and Leah) and hairstylist (Caitlin) that we hired from the salon at Minerals were INCREDIBLE. Every single girl looked absolutely beautiful. A big concern when hiring was seeing how the makeup artists worked on mature skin & hooded eyes- they knocked it out of the park. These girls are extremely talented . The cocktail hour was amazing. Everyone was impressed with the food (also Kya wrapped up all the food for us so the day after the wedding my husband & I were able to try everything we weren’t able to- it was such a nice treat) & the after party pool party was so much fun (I highly recommend booking the pool, your guests, & you, will love it…and the after party churros- everyone ate those up). After the princess treatment we received at minerals hotel, I don’t think anyone should get married anywhere else. Dana, Kya, Rachel, & the rest of the minerals team made my dream wedding into a reality bigger than what I could have imagined for myself. Do not hesitate, book this venue, you will be so glad you did.

We had our wedding at Grand Cascades in June 2022 and had such an amazing experience! Throughout the planning process we worked with Sarah, who was awesome all the way from planning the details, picking up the phone whenever I needed her, providing advice on anything I asked, and all the way through to the day of. She handled everything that came up with grace and kindness, even in tough family situations that arose. We chose CS Grand Cascades for a few key reasons (1) the amazing menu and presentation of the food (2) the beautiful ceremony, cocktail hour and reception spaces no matter rain or shine and (3) the value you get for your money. We also LOVED the fact that the hotel was on-site and we didn’t need to worry about transportation for ourselves or our guests throughout the day and afterwards. This provided SO many advantages, including access to the bridal suite all day and being able to take advantage of the hotel bar on-site for a causal after party without any extra cost to us. It is definitely an under-rated venue in NJ that we are SO happy we found! We were able to stick to our ideal budget while not comprising on quality of the event. I have been told by so many people how we threw the BEST wedding they’ve ever been to. The event staff is a well-oiled machine and truly think of everything to make your day the most special and seamless experience. Highly recommend to all future brides!!

Everything was as perfect as can be! I made my own centerpieces and other small decorations- they set it up to a T following the accompanied photos with the items. The whole day was smooth, elegant, everything was honestly so perfect. If there were any issues behind the scenes, we didn’t know about it! The only one negative was before the wedding day, you do have to pay extra for a tasting at the restaurant but they gave us a hefty coupon. Otherwise, no complaints whatsoever!

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!

My husband and I chose the Envue Hotel to be our all-in-one wedding venue and hotel room block. We actually signed our contract two years ago when a different management team was in place. After signing the contract, a new management team came in, and we could not have been more amazed with the level of service. It truly was a blessing in disguise. Chris and his team are truly one of a kind. From day one, Chris jumped in and truly became a partner in our wedding planning process. He was not only great at communicating, but also open to collaborating to make it the day of our dreams. I feel like so many venues we visited put numerous restrictions in place, but Chris listened to all of our ideas and was open to executing on our vision. He advice and guidance was so reassuring throughout the entire process. The venue itself is STUNNING. I can’t even express how many compliments I received from our guests. “This is the most beautiful venue I’ve ever been to” and “This is the best cocktail hour I’ve attended” was uttered all throughout the night. The fact that guests could dance at the reception, and then step outside on the balcony made it such an incredible reception space. Everyone loved it! Edwin was our Maître D. He was so friendly and detail oriented. I didn’t notice a single thing that didn’t go the way I wanted it to, and I know it was because Edwin was running a tight ship behind the scenes. The food was incredible and the bartenders were so friendly. Ali handled our room block, and I was also so pleased with the level of communication. Ali was responsive and accommodative of our requests. I didn’t hear a single complaint about the check in process, and the rooms were updated, clean, and beautiful. The Skyline Suite is also perfect for those “getting ready photos” the morning of J All in all, I think the Envue is a hidden gem of a wedding venue! With the ferry right in front of the venue, you can have all the perks of NYC while avoiding the craziness. Thank you, Envue and Team!

We could not have asked for a better experience with 3 West Club and our incredible event coordinator, Jonah. From the very beginning, Jonah was an absolute professional—always responsive, flexible, and attentive to every detail. He went above and beyond at every step, making us feel completely supported throughout the planning process. On our wedding day, he executed everything flawlessly, and it’s no exaggeration to say we could not have done it without him. Jonah is truly the best, and we feel so lucky to have had him by our side. The venue itself was stunning—the event spaces are elegant, timeless, and created the perfect atmosphere for our wedding reception. Our guests were blown away by the beauty of the space and how seamlessly the day flowed. Beyond the gorgeous setting, the food was absolutely phenomenal. From the cocktail hour to the dinner, every dish was beautifully presented and delicious. Many of our guests told us it was the best wedding food they had ever had, and we couldn’t agree more. The entire 3 West Club team provided exceptional service, going out of their way to make sure we (and our guests) were well taken care of from start to finish. Their warmth and professionalism made us feel so at ease, and we were able to fully enjoy every moment of the celebration. We have nothing but phenomenal things to say about 3 West Club and Jonah. If you are looking for a wedding venue that combines elegance, incredible food, and extraordinary service—with the most dedicated coordinator you could ever hope for—look no further. We could not be happier with our experience and will cherish these memories forever.

North Square Restaurant at the Washington Square Hotel hosted our engagement party. We chose the downstairs lounge for our daytime cocktail/brunch of about 30 people. We had passed appetizers, some stationary plates, and an open bar. There was plenty of room to walk around and mingle, but also sit down and chat. It was intimate but fun! The service was great. We enjoyed working with the staff and menu planning for our special day. They assisted with florals, balloons, and signs.

I hosted my wedding at The Lofts at Prince Street and I had the most gorgeous time! I rented the rooftop for our ceremony and cocktail hour, and the penthouse top floor for our reception. From the start, Claudia was absolutely amazing to work with. She is confident, thoughtful, and kind. Throughout planning our wedding, Claudia was an excellent help. She was responsive, answering my questions thoughtfully and always very quickly. On our wedding day, I found her presence very calming and reassuring. The Lofts get many guests per week, but I felt like Claudia took the time to get to know me and my husband, and really made us feel special. Our wedding was about 25 people, and the space fit us perfectly. The rooftop gives you the money shot. Even our hardest to please guests complimented our venue multiple times. You get gorgeous, 360 views of the Manhattan skyline, but you are high above street level so excessive noise was not a problem. I talked through my vision with Claudia on our walkthrough, and her team took care of so much before I even arrived. The penthouse room is a blank canvas that you can decorate any way you wish. The exposed brick and clean walls are a really cool starting point, but I was absolutely blown away by how the room transformed into a better vision than I could have even imagined. There is a private suite in the back that we used to get ready in. It was very fun to take photos there and I felt safe tucked away before my guests arrived. The space is also very clean! Having a suite in the back allowed me to arrive early to the venue and get centered before the ceremony began. If you are not familiar with NYC, the Lofts are in a really fun location! You are central to many hotels and subway lines, so it’s easy to access. The venue is surrounded by cafes, green spaces, and restaurants. And you are a short walk from many bars if you want an after party. Even if your wedding is larger, I would highly recommend the Lofts for a shower or even an event. I am so thankful we opted for the Lofts at Prince Street, it was a really great choice!

Located off Cooper Square in one of New York’s most vibrant, artistic neighborhoods, The Standard, East Village is cozy, charming, and eccentric in equal measure—very much in the spirit of its surroundings. You enter the 21-story tower through an original tenement-style building before ascending to unparalleled views of Manhattan from the hotel's crowned jewel, The Penthouse. There’s a quiet, calm garden tucked away at street level that in the warmer months is filled with lush topiaries and floral arrangements, and in the cold season transforms into a magical winter wonderland. On the second floor, The Overlook is a cozy room perfect for a rehearsal dinner or cocktails, connected to The Perch which overlooks The Garden. Downstairs, there's Narcissa restaurant, which boasts its own private terrace, the street-side Café Standard, and NO BAR, a highly inclusive new wave gay bar with custom artwork and a disco ball.

  • Better for more intimiate events
Having never been privy to what goes into a wedding reception, I was in the dark about a lot. So, I had difficulty understanding what to choose and how much our choices would cost. If it wasn’t for the close proximity to the church, I may have chosen a different venue for our reception. The food and beverage was the biggest expense and the biggest source of confusion. The real disappointment of the F&B was the limited amount of food. The shrimp appetizer was good. However, there was so little, if you didn’t grab some, it was gone. Of the three entrees to choose from, the only one that was any good was the fish and the portion was less than one would reasonably expect for an entree. The chicken was dry and hard, a huge disappointment. The lemon tart dessert was good. The space itself is very nice. Fortunately, it was just the right size for our reception.

Last month we hosted our 125 person wedding at the Wythe Hotel in our local Brooklyn. We could not have asked for a more beautiful city venue or a more helpful team. Our sales director JD and our event coordinator Cassie are such pros-- both veterans of the NYC wedding industry-- and they helped make the day a real breeze. At the Wythe you really get what you pay for. We had a Saturday "off-season" wedding so the F&B minimums were high but easily met with our guest count. Our 395 a head included a premium open bar, multiple signature cocktails, passed hors d'oeuvres, a market station, a plated family style meal, coffee service, a wedding cake, all hospitality staff, coat check, A/V team, and hotel discounts. If we hadn't wanted to add extra florals and decor, the space truly would've been gorgeous bare. The Wythe team helped us manage the rest of our vendors and recommended some if we needed. We stayed onsite in one of their giant suites, which was perfect for getting ready and for first look photos. Cannot recommend this vendor enough!!

The W Loft is a great venue for anyone having a smaller wedding/event who wants beautiful city views. I had a wonderful October wedding here and was very fortunate to avoid rain so my guests could make use of the balcony. The only reason I don’t give 5 stars is that this is a very weather dependent venue. Had it been rain and we’d be limited to inside space only, it would have been a little too cramped. Still an excellent venue for the pricing and I would recommend if
