About this venue

Before it became our beloved event venue, the historic Crystal Plaza was originally a residential mansion. The initial Livingston, New Jersey-based residence was built in the late 1800s by famed architect Stanford White, who was responsible for designing the Tiffany building on Fifth Avenue, the original Madison Square Garden complex among other landmark structures. While the restored building has since been reincarnated as one of the leading wedding and event spaces in the tri-state area, it still maintains the feeling of its 19th century grandeur. Our impeccable, white-glove service begins the moment you arrive. Crystal Plaza hosts only one event at a time, ensuring that our dedicated team focuses singularly on you and your every need. From the elegant Grand Ballroom boasting numerous chandeliers (how the Crystal Plaza name came to be) to the lush gardens that change beautifully with the seasons, there are myriad backdrops to complement your wedding, social affair or corporate event.

Grand Ballroom

The magnificence of the Crystal Plaza and all its splendor may be best captured by the centerpiece of the venue: the Grand Ballroom.

Glittering crystal chandeliers adorn the ceilings and walls of this stunning, 5,000-square-foot space with a capacity for up to 350 guests for dinner and dancing. The glamorous, open room showcasing a gold-detailed ceiling, ornate columns along the walls, a large and round wooden dance floor and curtain-dressed glass windows overlooking the garden can hold its own without any additional décor, yet looks fabulous with custom florals for your occasion. A Juliet balcony overlooks the scene.

    Crystal Plaza was the perfect choice for our wedding venue. From our very first meeting with the staff, we were impressed by their clear, direct, and helpful communication style. Mikheil and Ryan were particularly amazing - they were accommodating to all of our special requests and made sure everything ran smoothly from start to finish. The venue itself is beautiful, with fresh, modern decor and lots of flexible spaces to customize for our event. The value was incredible given the high-quality service and stunning backdrop for our wedding day. We are so grateful to the Crystal Plaza team for making our celebration everything we dreamed of and more.

  • Beautiful Wedding at the Crystal Plaza!

    We had an amazing wedding at the Crystal Plaza! They did absolutely everything to make sure the day went smoothly. They were professional, organized, and very accommodating to every request. We had the ceremony set up outside, and when it started to rain they quickly started to set up inside. Then when the rain passed, they reset up everything outside! The venue was beautiful, the gardens were lovely, and the rooms to get ready in very pretty and spacious. All of the attendants were very friendly and helpful, constantly checking in with us to make sure we were all set. Special shout out the Mikheil for coordinating everything!

  • best day ever!

    We had our wedding reception at Crystal Plaza on March 15, 2024 and I don't even know where to begin! I'll start by saying because of Crystal Plaza, we had the best day of our lives. When touring venues all I kept saying in my head was that I wanted something fresh and different. From the moment I walked in the door, I could sense that about Crystal Plaza. The venue holds onto the classic elegance you look for in a wedding, but with everything they have to offer, it puts a modern and fresh twist on classic beauty. Max took time to go through all aspects of our day at Crystal Plaza and was polite and accommodating since day 1. They were responsive and helpful through all of the wedding planning and when the day came we felt like royalty. The bridal and groom suites are out of this world and the bridal attendants are extraordinary. They even asked if I was too hot or cold and adjusted the temperature all day for me! They brought me a smoothie made there by request because I was having a hard time eating with all the excitement! I could go on and on. The cocktail hour is like nothing I have ever seen before and the food for dinner is actually delicious whereas at many weddings that is not the case. Every guest has been raving about the food, the service, and the seamless nature of our day. The best decision we made was booking Crystal Plaza for our wedding!

    I cannot say enough wonderful things about our winter wedding at Crystal Plaza and the incredible team of warm and dedicated staff. While wedding planning can certainly bring on the stress, our wedding planning process with Max and his team was not only enjoyable, but FUN! His professional expertise, honesty, and attention to detail was invaluable and beyond appreciated. This is not your average wedding culinary experience. It's obvious Crystal Plaza cares deeply about cuisine and we were blown away by every bite and sip. Our guests have not stopped raving about the culinary experience and the unique presentations of food and drink. The Penthouse and Vault (where the bride/groom/bridal party/groomsmen get ready) is out of this world. There is no other venue with this level of accommodation for both the bride and groom. It was so much fun treating the bridal party to a morning of pampering and having the groomsmen be just as excited about getting ready in the morning was incredible. They won't stop talking about the golf simulator and cigar lounge. I cannot recommend Crystal Plaza enough. 5 STARS ALL AROUND!
