“The Pleasantdale Chateau is an amazing venue! I felt I was transported back in time to a Tudor Castle. The food and drinks were top notch! It was a unique and very pleasant experience”

“The venue is beautiful and clean. Max & Liliya responded to all my questions and were extremely helpful throughout the planning process. The day of the party was so smooth and worry free. Max and his staff took care of everything. The servers and the bartender were great! Our daughter’s Sweet 16 was amazing ! Our next event will definitely be here! Thank you!”

“If you have never been to the Seasons you are missing out! The seasons is one of the top venues in New Jersey and an absolute treat to photograph a wedding at!As a wedding photographer it is super important to work at a venue that has scenic opportunities so that may couples don't have to find an outside park somewhere to do their photos. The Seasons does not disappoint with that! They have beautiful waterfalls, a gorgeous garden area and an amazing indoor staircase! (see attached photos)Finally lets talk about their AMAZING cocktail hour! It's honestly the thing i look forward to the most when working here!I highly recommend this venue for anyone on the fence looking to book it!”

“As a florist, working at Edgewood Country Club is always a wonderful experience for myself and my team.As a client, planning my sister’s baby shower with my mom - we were blown away with how well Eric and the entire team at Edgewood took care of us.Everything was seamless, the food was incredible and the service was not only top tier but thoughtful.For example - I made a joke at one of our meetings about how I loved espresso martinis and Eric added a note to our food and beverage order immediately to ensure the staff was able to make espresso martinis that day!Speaking of Eric - in my work life I’ve worked with easily hundreds of event managers in New York and New Jersey and Eric is a standout talent in this field.Love love love this place!”

“I HIGHLY recommend RAIN. My daughter’s bat mitzvah was epic. Scott and Miriam covered every detail making it so easy and simple to throw a smooth and fun event. The DJ, emcee and dancers were incredible and had the whole crowd - from ages 2 to 52 dancing for the Bat Mitzvah girl- they just get it! And the space is so easy to customize to your own look. The parking made it very easy for our city friends to pull up and have a blast!! Thank you so much Scott and Miriam!!”

“This was my first time in this restaurant. The atmosphere is very pretty, warm and welcoming. The staff was especially attentive, friendly and knowledgeable. I ordered the chicken franchise which was plentiful and delicious. My son ordered a steak dish that he also loved. We will definitely be back.”

“From start to finish, we received amazing service. We booked the venue for our wedding and had about seven months to plan everything. Vikki was outstanding, from showing us the venue to overseeing every detail on the night of the wedding. We were able to email and call and receive quick feedback throughout the planning process. As the wedding approached, we met with Vikki to confirm final details, and she provided excellent recommendations and guidelines. The day of the wedding went smoothly, and all of our guests raved about the delicious food. I highly recommend this venue for any occasion.”

“My cousin got married here a few days ago and I must say - WHAT A VENUE!
It was beyond gorgeous - both inside and outside.
The food and desserts for the reception was top tier.
Will definitely be keeping this spot in mind for any events in the future.”

“I had my son’s surprise 30th birthday here. Sal was the best! We used their catering services and the food was delicious! The guy who helped us that night was awesome, super helpful, wouldn’t let us do anything. The dj they provided was great! My son had “the best birthday ever” as quoted by him. Money well spent. Thank you Sal!”

“My band played here this past weekend and I was blown away by how good the staff was. They keep everything clean and tidy, the food prep was outstanding and facilities are beautiful all around. There was even a Karen who tried to spoil the party but the staff jumped all over that too ? well done guys!!!!”

“Very convenient since it's inside the Willow Brook mall compound. It would have been great if the roads were well maintained. Theatre overall is maintained well with comfortable reclining chairs.”

“The Ridgewood Women's club is an absolutely beautiful venue that I highly recommend to anyone. My wife and I threw a baby shower the size of a wedding there (140-150 people), and the event space was perfect for it. The women who run the club are professional, responsive and helpful. We had a wonderful experience and we can't thank them enough. Everyone should look into this place for a large event. You won't be disappointed.”

“The staff are very professional, accommodating and helpful. The hall is well kept and maintained. Very clean! Loved the bar and the color changing lights. Highly recommended ?”

“Invited to a sweet sixteen at the Royal Manor gorgeous place for all occasions-valet parking always great, greetings by a lovely young lady at the door. The room was very nice , bathrooms very clean (important). Bartender made amazing drinks -appetizers very good tender steak and chicken skewers delicious-fried shrimps/ cocktail shrimps amazing. Buffet style dinner was so good beef and broccoli-tilapia-tortellini with white sauce-a château Brion service-Green salads. The server's were so sweet and attentive and they were young but so professional love that. So looking for an amazing venue try this one for sure.”

“I definitely recommend this party room. Very spacious and the place itself is glamorous. The owners are very polite and the staff who serve you are extremely pleasant. I met a sweet and very helpful worker named Reina. She was extremely outgoing and fast. If you are looking for a place with great prices and amazing staff like Reina, then The Roman Palace Banquet Hall should be your choice.”

“I have 2 separate positive reviews about this place:1) As a drop in play gym, it's phenomenal. If you're local, it's just such a nice low sensory place (not too loud / packed) for kids to come, swing, play with toys, etc, and the staff are always great. It never feels overwhelming, but there are so many things to do!2) We had a birthday party for our kid here recently and it was AMAZING. Like, I truly cannot emphasize just how on top of it Kim (the owner) and her assistant were. In terms of transitioning to different times of the party, setting up food, handling setup and break down, etc. We are already talking about just doing the next birthday here again because it was so easy and frictionless!”

“Without any hesitation at all, I HIGHLY recommend Powerhouse Studios Paramus. Lisa Messing and staff covered everything to ensure a perfect party. Emcee Devon kept the party going all night long and the kids were beyond happy. Not only was the place amazing and the food incredible, but the staff happen to be some of the kindest people. I LOVED working with Powerhouse and I got many comments from my guests on how incredible the space and food is. I give them an A+++”

“My daughter love it here and loves all the teachers she takes miss madi’s teen class and always wants to go and made a bunch of new friends. The dances are amazing and the staff is very kind.”

“I feel like I returned home. My Dad was a very active member of the lodge and I recently attended a memorial service honoring my Dad and other members that passed away in 2019. My head was flooded with wonderful memories.”

“I have stayed here twice and generally enjoyed it. The front desk staff greeted me warmly and were very helpful. The breakfast was good but nothing special and was what you expect at a place like this. In terms of my specific needs, the location is perfect and is exactly half way from where I usually start and my destination. However, it's located on a busy thoroughfare with shopping centers and fast food. It's hard to get around and there are no decent restaurants around. The establishment would do well to at least put a few frozen dinners or pizzas in their shop. For now it's just drinks, ice cream and dreadful ramen.

Rooms: Clean but smelled of cheap scents. I really wish this and other hotels would use unscented cleaning products as well as soaps and shampoos. Because of the current situation, my wife cannot come with me. If things were unscented my wife could come and we could stay longer.

Food and drinks: Nice breakfast but nothing else for lunch or dinner available.”

“We had my wife's 40th birthday party here and had a great time. The has a hip and modern cocktail bar atmosphere perfect for our group of about 25 people but I think the space can easily be comfortable for 50+. The bartender they provided was a great mixologist and super friendly. I would use this spot again!”

“I had my wedding at the Richfield Regency and it was such a dream! Trish and the team made our wedding planning so smooth and it all came out so beautiful! THE FOOD... wow, it was delicious! My guest are still talking about my wedding and how good the food was and let's not forget about the dessert presentation, that was one of my favorite parts! Thank you Trish & team once again for making my special day so perfect!”

“Okay, so we came down from Texas, my bestie, and I to visit our other best friend who was having a birthday party here at Milan Banquets. This place is absolutely gorgeous. The staff was on point? The owner, Magdi A.Griess, is the banquet director. He said he has been at this place since high school or college ? so he invited us to his office and took care of all my bestie needs. Thank You! This place is very warm and inviting and the different room that have plenty of room and decorated lovely this place OMG.? It was definitely one for the books. My friend turned 40 and was fabulous.
