I can't speak enough about how easy it was to work with everyone at 26 West. They let us tweak the menu for our rehearsal dinner, and with views of the Navesink from upstairs it was a great night. The service was spot on, and in a day and age where there is a shortage of staff, they made sure everything was taken care of. Anything that anyone else needed they were on top of.

We got married at Edgewater in October 2023 and it was truly a dream. The venue is absolutely gorgeous and very reasonably priced. The staff is phenomenal! Christina and Sal were incredibly helpful, knowledgeable, professional, and put our minds at ease. I can easily say they were the reason we were stress free. Emily and Alanna made sure we were their number one priority that day. They were constantly checking in on us, giving us whatever we needed. They knew what we needed/wanted before we even did. Our parents raved about the staff checking on them as well. Every little detail was perfect because of the staff. The food was so delicious, thanks to chef Jay. Every single one of our guests came up to us to rave about the beauty of the venue, the food, the staff, and the bartenders. The bartenders were awesome and quickly learned everyone’s order, having the drinks ready for them when they got to the bar. It was the best day of our lives and we couldn’t have picked a better venue with a better staff, because there simply isn’t one. Thank you Edgewater for being the perfect beach venue!!

Windows on the Water was the perfect wedding venue for an elegant beach wedding. The views of both the ocean and river are absolutely gorgeous. We toured several venues on the beach along the Jersey Shore and none of them came close to WOW. The ceremony spot on the beach couldn’t be better with a beautiful view of the ocean and platform down so that you’re not sitting/standing in the sand. Also since it is a private beach club, there is no one else on the beach during the ceremony. The cocktail hour and reception space are so beautiful and clean (no carpet which gave it a more modern and elegant vibe) and we loved the outdoor deck space for some fresh air while still being steps away from the dance floor. Mike and Cheryl were amazing to work with and made the planning process so easy and stress free. They are so friendly, professional and were responsive to all of our questions throughout the planning process. Both Mike and Cheryl, along with the rest of the staff at WOW truly went above and beyond to make our wedding day perfect! Cheryl and Harley took care of us all night and made sure every need was met and that we always had a drink in our hand. We were so impressed with the food options, particularly for the cocktail hour, and loved how flexible Mike and the WOW team were in allowing us to customize our wedding day menu. We were a little nervous since you don’t get a tasting but all of the food was amazing!! In particular our guests raved about the raw bar at cocktail hour, the filet mignon at dinner, and the pork roll egg and cheese sandwiches at the end of the night. They also offer a 15-minute private cocktail hour for the bride and groom after the ceremony with a bottle of champagne as well all of the cocktail hour food in the private bridal suite which overlooks the beach and ocean. My husband and I really enjoyed this as it gave us the chance for a quiet moment together to soak in excitement of our wedding day, and we actually got a chance to eat before we greeted all of our guests who were enjoying cocktail hour overlooking the beach. I can not recommend WOW enough and hope we get to go back as guests one day!

Rachael and her team were absolutely amazing for our wedding whenever I had a question about the venue I knew I would get a very quick response from Rachael days leading up to the wedding. We kept our eye out on the forecast, hoping to have the ceremony outside in the garden however, with the rain we had to have it inside, but it was still absolutely perfect, they were able to get it, so that way you didn’t see everything underneath the tent during the ceremony and most of the time you didn’t even know they were there.

The Ashford Estate was the perfect venue for our wedding! From the beginning, their communication was incredibly responsive and attentive.

The place felt grand, but they made it feel like our home for our celebration. We knew how great the staff was from working with them directly, but we also received so many compliments from our guests on how kind, organized, and attentive they were.

If you’re looking for a stress free wedding, look no further. I can rave about our wedding forever, our event planner Alessandra Moss helped us every step of the way. Our guests enjoyed the heavenly cocktail hour and were impressed with the professionalism of the staff. Day of coordinator Jennifer was attentive and took care of all my bridal needs. We highly recommend booking Nicotras Ballroom at the Hilton Garden Inn for your wedding venue, we had a lot of guests traveling and it was easy for our guests to stay in the hotel. We shared our first look on the beautiful property, there are endless options for photo ops. We were able to take many photos and video inside and outside the venue. The ceremony took place outside on the Gazebo, it was absolutely stunning, the weather was perfect. Alessandra met with us regularly in person and was easily accessible via email. She walked us through the wedding planning and guided us on the next steps of the process. It was a great relief that the venue took care of a lot of the details, and we used one of their vendors Red Carpet Events for decor/flowers and they were fantastic.

We held our wedding reception at Five Boroughs Brewery in October 2023, and we couldn't have been happier! We opted for a combination of seated and standing for our 65 guests, designating the long banquet tables for our families to gather, and the high-top tables for our friends to mix and mingle. There was space in the center of the room for speeches, a musical performance, and reciting our vows before inviting everyone onto the dance floor. Our guests loved the Five Boroughs beers on tap, and they also offered wines and cider, as well as seltzer for non-drinkers. We had catered appetizer platters set up along the wall, and a food truck parked outside. There's also a ramp entrance, which was very helpful for my 93-year-old grandmother. The ambiance in the taproom was warm, intimate, and beautiful even with us opting for very minimal additional decor. The staff was kind, communicative, and helpful every step of the way--the care they took to ensure our wedding went perfectly was really evident. Our Five Boroughs wedding was joyful, intimate, and personal.

We got married at the Picnic House in April 2024 and had a great experience! It's a beautiful space that you can do a lot with. We really appreciated both having both the flexibility of choosing amongst a variety of vendors, as well as the assurance that given their experience with the venue that they'd be easy to work with day of (which was true- we had a very smooth wedding day!). We really appreciated working with Caity, who was very responsive over email and quick to pick up the phone. Our only struggle was in acquiring our parking passes (that was really the mail's fault) and in getting some answers early on regarding external alcohol policies. And I would say be very careful in selecting your caterer, since they'll make or break your experience. But overall I would absolutely recommend the Picnic House to anyone! The price really can't be beat for what you're getting.

Was hoping to get professional photos before leaving this review, but guest photos will suffice and I'll come back later with more. Shell's Loft was the perfect spot for our wedding and everything came together there so well with minimal stress! Steve and the entire Shell's Loft team responded to every phone call and email quickly, they were extremely flexible with our schedule, getting into the space, accommodating the deliveries and vendors, and went way above and beyond to help make the day come together. They were able to flex a little bit with the bar package so I could get one of my favorite cocktails on the menu, were happy to help us out with furniture, and at one point when we were dealing with an electrical issue (with our equipment, not there's) they even brought in an electrician to help us resolve it at the last minute! They have a roster of experienced vendors that we tapped into for lighting and music who knew the space well, worked quickly, and delivered an incredible experience to the guests. The sun came in through the skylights and large windows during the ceremony and when the sun went down and the lighting came on, the space absolutely came alive for the party. The pictures are great, but even they don't do it justice. Steve knows the area well and was helpful advising on parking, afterparty spots, had great ideas for food and dessert options, and was an all around enthusiastic collaborator. I could ramble about this further, but suffice to say, they do an exceptional job at being responsive and flexible, and they brainstormed and collaborated with us on ideas for the event and were happy to help us with solutions and access to vendors and experts.

I'm going to start by saying we are floral designers who have been in the industry for 13 years combined. We have worked alongside some of the best industry professionals in the area and Avery and the Johnson's Locust Hall Team are by far the best! Our wedding was perfect. But more importantly, the attention and care leading up to the day from Avery is what truly made the experience special and quite frankly emotional. We just went back to the venue to pick pumpkins and are still reveling in the emotions of the day. Such a sweet family and location. Our guests had such a wonderful time each space we entered. I could go on and on about how perfect every detail was but instead i'll just say book this venue for your wedding or event, you will have such heart filled memories the rest of your life. Thank you Avery, Allie and the entire staff for giving us the best day of our lives!

There were quite a bit of rules and miscommunications along the way. This made the experience, especially during the end of the engagement season and the actual wedding day a bit dramatic and exhausting. However, this could be avoided if every single detail is ironed out from the very beginning and you are giving consistent reminders of what you're anticipating your day to be like. Overall, the venue is gorgeous and every single area of it is grounds for awesome photo-ops. On a gorgeous day, you will absolutely not regret choosing this location. Not only is it super affordable, but they also give you the freedom to pick your other vendors to create your ideal wedding (as almost everything else is kind of "a la carte"). A bonus is that you get the whole grounds on your wedding day, so that's exciting for you and your guests!

Constellation culinary, especially Lindsey, was so helpful and I had a great experience working with them to plan our evening. We had our reception in the Pavilion at Rat’s and it was such a beautiful space. Lindsey was so flexible and always helpful with offering solutions to problems as they arose. She was very patient and answered all of the little questions I had that came up over the months before our wedding reception. She also offered that if our plan to get married in a park before the reception at Rat’s fell through, we could do our ceremony in the Pavilion. Everyone said that this was the best food they’ve ever had at a wedding and complimented how beautiful the space was and the service of all of the staff during the event. The staff made the event run so smoothly and went above and beyond to serve us on our special day. Also, we realized at the last minute (the week before our wedding) that the grounds were closed on the day of our ceremony, so we thought we would not be able to go on the grounds with our photographer to take photos while our guests enjoyed cocktail hour. Grounds for Sculpture swooped in and agreed to let us enter the grounds for our photos so that we could enjoy the beautiful gardens for our small couples session wedding photos. We were so grateful and happy that they were able to accommodate us and save our sanity as we thought we’d need to look for a new photo location.

As life long NYC-ers, my wife and I were getting concerned with the BORING options out there for our wedding reception. There were tons of places that felt like "just another bar". Or there were incredibly expensive indoor/outdoor rooftop venues with reams of red tape and complicated rules (must use our DJ, must buy XYZ food package). We just wanted to have a party! The Wandering Barman had EXACTLY what we wanted. First, the space itself is incredible and GORGEOUS. The look is unique, the room is spacious, and the light wall looks stunning (you can light it up any color you want!). It really is as fantastic in real life as it appears in photos. The super high ceilings give the space room to breath, and the outdoor picnic tables were perfect for guests taking a break between dance sessions. Plus, since they bottle their own cocktails in the factory on-site, they have everything on tap! No waiting for your bartender to make a drink, it's as simple as pouring one of their delicious cocktails (they have like 15 options, something for everyone, plus wine/beer). It really kept the party moving. Second, Roxane and the team are flexible and easy to work with. We ended up doing a Taco Truck a cash bar. This ended up being an incredibly affordable option for us, and Roxane helped us find a DJ and made sure we were able to get security for the night (so no random NYC party go-ers crashed our reception). If you're looking to have a more modest sized reception or event of any kind you cannot do better than the Wandering Barman!!

Grimm Artisanal Ales is an amazing venue for a rehearsal dinner or wedding celebration. From the moment we first connected with Mel, we knew we were in great hands. Throughout the process she was so responsive, supportive, and even excited! During the event, Mel and the rest of the amazing staff went above and beyond, ensuring everything ran smoothly. The space is sophisticated, yet warm and the beers, wines, and food (especially the pizza) are exceptional. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and highly recommend Grimm Artisanal Ales to any couple looking for a truly special and memorable event.

My wife and I were determined to have our wedding in New York City and researched a bunch of venues in Manhattan and Brooklyn. Radegast was the last place that we visited, and we put our deposit down the day after our walk through and ended the search. Sean managed the booking for us, and we felt his attention and thoroughness immediately. This was in stark contrast to the apathy that we felt at other places; almost like we needed to work for any enthusiasm from the venue about booking with them. We felt “wined and dined” by Sean and super confident that he would take the event as seriously as we were. We ended up booking The Bier House space with the buffet food option. Our intuition was right, Radegast was incredible! Not only were they the most affordable option that we could find in the city for our number of guests, but the space was so beautiful that we didn’t have to spend money on any additional decor. The food was delicious, the staff was attentive and friendly, and all of our guests were really impressed. Sean and the staff at Radegast “bent over backwards” (a quote from our wedding planner) to make sure that our vision for the day matched reality. They helped solve any problem that came along, and did so with a smile. They were as accommodating on the day of the event as they were in the months leading up to it. The price was exactly what we were quoted, there were not any unexpected add-ons or fees. The event was an absolute blast and the venue had a lot to do with it. Also the location is incredible. Williamsburg is perfect for everyone; your NYC friends are a subway ride away, your weird conservative relatives from Long Island can park in the parking garage literally across the street and run home right after the event, and anyone unfamiliar with the city will leave the event loving how pretty Brooklyn is. This is absolutely the best value for a wedding venue in New York City and the positive vibes are through the roof!
