    Nassau Inn was a pleasure to work with, and it made our lives SO much easier in the planning process. They took care of so many small details and were open for any questions we had prior to the wedding. On the day of, everything ran so smoothly and they are truly a well-oiled machine. 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!

  • The best decision we made!

    We booked the Nassau Inn because it was located in Princeton (a family friendly and walkable town in NJ) and offered great packages. We quickly learned that everyone was so kind, helpful, and easy to reach. Jaime and Roger truly guided us through planning our big day. Each decision felt so easy and we trusted them 100%! The food was amazing and beyond our expectations. The bartenders were friendly. Our guests had made so many positive comments! Also, having the cake included was a huge time saver for us, and we enjoyed working with a local bakery who were very accommodating. Choosing the Nassau Inn for our wedding venue was the best decision we made!

    Everyone involved in planning our wedding at The Nassau Inn was so sweet. (Shout-out in particular to Michelle Lawrence, who coordinated everything!) We had to delay our big day twice due to Covid, and everything went off without a hitch! The venue was magical and I couldn’t have asked for a more wonderful experience. Book here! You won’t regret it!
