Venues & Event Spaces near River Vale, NJ

“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!”

“My spouse and I looked at around 11 other venues, and none come close to what you get at The Estate at Florentine Gardens. First off, the whole venue is GORGEOUS, with a beautiful, freshly made ceremony room, cozy but classy cocktail room, and a spectacular elegant ballroom for your reception. Even the hallways, groomsmen suite, and the bridal suites are amazing - they're big, stunning and are perfect for getting ready. If you're considering a winter or summer wedding, this venue is perfect. Even you're in the summer and it gets rained out, you'll still have a picture-perfect ceremony room, so really there is no need to worry. We did our wedding just a week ago and it was amazing!Not only does this venue wow your guests in terms of how it looks, but the staff are INCREDIBLE. We worked with Samantha (our event consultant), Jeffery (our maître d'), Monica (our bridal attendant), Max (helped with the groomsmen) Sal (entertainment services), DJ Tony Gia, and Shar (videographer). From day 1, Samantha was always enthusiastic and patient about our many many many questions that we asked throughout the whole entire year before our wedding. She was a joy to work with! Everything was done professionally and the answers provided truly reflects how much this venue knows and understands how to run a good wedding. Monica, Jeffery, and Max were with us the day of the wedding and they truly ran the show behind the scenes. They were there to answer any questions, take all the stress off of us and our families, and made sure everything was on time and done well. There was really nothing we needed to worry about because Jeffery, Monica, and Max were well coordinated and knew exactly what to do, even with our outside vendors (photographer and florist).One of the best things about The Estate at Florentine Gardens is that they also have amazing entertainment services. If you end up booking this venue, we highly recommend using Sal Travis and his team. Sal was always ready to provide us good song selections and help us craft our package for what we would like to have (lighting, videography, DJ, sparkler towers photo booth, ceremony music, and so much more). DJ Tony Gia was the best - he kept our dance floor up and dancing the whole night and was an amazing MC. Sal's team of videographers were also outstanding and blew our guests away. They were able to catch everything live and even produce an amazing wrap-up video to display at the end of the night.Our friends and families members who have been to so many weddings before said that our wedding was the best wedding that they have ever been to, and we know that it's because The Estate at Florentine Gardens is 1. beautiful, 2. provides the highest quality of service, and 3. is truly working to ensure your day goes smoothly, and 4. the food is so DELICIOUS!! (we had endless amounts of food flowing from our cocktail to reception to after, everyone said they were so full and thought it tasted so so good)!So a HUGE THANK YOU to the Florentine team for making our wedding day the best day it could have ever been.”

“I attended a Wedding at the Venetian over the weekend. It's a beautiful venue. I had a wonderful time and was fully entertained with the event and traveling through their many rooms. The food was wonderful.”

“MO’s Banquet Hall is top notch! I would recommend this hall to anyone looking for a place to throw a party. Max is amazing and very helpful made my daughter’s Sweet 16 run smoothly and took the stress off of me and I was able to enjoy the night. The bartenders were amazing no complaints the photographer and videographer captured beautiful pictures and so attentive all night! If you are looking for a place this is it a one stop shop..Max again thank you for your service and your dedication and for making my daughter’s Sweet 16 a night we won’t ever forget!”

“Macaluso's is such an amazing venue! Before I even talk about the amazing staff let me tell you about their INCREDIBLE food. Whenever I see that I am photographing a wedding at Macaluso's I make sure to not eat any breakfast or snacks so I can fully enjoy their food!As a wedding photographer it is super important for me to work at a venue that has scenic areas for great photos of my couples and Macaluso's does not disappoint in that category at all (see attached photos). In addition, their staff is super friendly and willing to help with anything!I can't recommend this venue enough if you are looking for a great place to host your wedding or event!”

“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!”

“I recently attended the catholic daughters of the Americas Court, Saint Anne. 100 th Anniversary.The entire staff was on point, swift and courteous!! Our food was delicious. The view overlooking the Hudson and the TZ bridge was beautiful. We were waiting for a rainbow!! Decor was so tastefully done. ? Can’t wait to go back for another event.”

“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!!”

“The rockleigh is an amazing venue ! Beautiful ballroom great staff amazing food. And vendor friendly. Zara & Jeff are awesome to work with. Can’t wait to do more events !”

“Love this place. Christy has created something truly beautiful, uplifting, and communal. From the giant windows, tall ceilings, varied seating options, quiet area, multiple phone booths, I love being here. And love all the events that come with membership. Christy's impeccable taste is evident in everything from furnishings, to styling to amenities, and her warm spirit invites us all to be kind to each other.”

“A great day from start to finish. Chris had the room all set for us to come in and add our touches for the baby shower. The entire staff was so helpful and so polite The food was plentiful and delicious and the drinks and specialty "mocktail" were fabulous. Highly recommend The Loft for any occasion”

“I had my daughters 9 birthday here and she had an amazing birthday. The staff was the absolute best. Extremely accommodating! Everything was super organized and clean.”

We could not be happier .We truly recommend them for any life celebration!”

“We've eaten here several times since the beginning of November. We are always greeted warmly by the owner, the waitstaff, and the enticing aroma of the food. My husband and I have thoroughly enjoyed every item we have ordered. I love the spiciness of the marinara sauce. Last night, I just remembered my leftover Rigato I men Penne. Thank goodness, I remembered before I got in the car. It was that goodness, I remembered my dinner for tonight! I experimented, which I rarely did, and shared the huge appetizer of stuffed artichoke with my husband, a healthy and perfectly seasoned choice. I told the owner I wish they had a less filling dessert selection, baking cookies! which most Italian restaurants do not. She said she planned to start cookies and add them to the menu. My husband has tried several of their homemade desserts and never leaves a crumb. We were not surprised to learn Al Dente has many regulars! The portions are large, and the pasta is boiled as long as it should be. We have brought friends there, and they felt the same way. We especially like that are never rushed. Finally, it is BYOB. -Bonnie Lieberman- Fair Lawn”

“My son had his 9th birthday at NVSA. He and his friends had a great time playing basketball and kickball! All the staff were really friendly and accommodating. Definitely recommend this place for birthday events!”

“This venue was amazing! The place is very clean. The waiters were very friendly. The chefs too and the food is delicious. Overall this place was absolutely amazing with great service.”

“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.”

“There are simply not enough words to express our gratitude for the exceptional job the staff of The Royal Manor did hosting our daughter's wedding. From our first meeting with Carmel, we were confident that we had found the perfect venue for the celebration. Our guests raved about both how delicious the food was and the amazing selection! Honestly; however, aside from the food and ambiance, it was truly Carmel, Magda, Mario and Amanda, to name a few, who made my daughter and son-in-law's wedding a night to remember!”

“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+++”

“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 ?”

“I wish I lived closer so I could come here all the time. The art, plants, furniture, books - everything is wonderfully curated and reasonably priced and the atmosphere is cozy and inviting.”

“It was easy to get into for me being handicapped. Employees were polite & friendly. Nice screen. Unfortunately seats were difficult to get out of AND coming out they locked the main doors & sign said exit side door where there was no way a handicapped person could walk or be pushed in wheelchair. That said, we may give it another shot.”

“I can't say enough good things about Hudson Loft & the caterer On the Marc. The team we worked with to coordinate was great; they were so easy to work with. The event staff were truly incredible - super attentive, professional, and nice. Marc from On the Marc even called me afterwards to make sure everything went well. We got SO many compliments on the food and how incredible it was - (even from some friends and family that work in the industry and/or are harsh critics)! I can say from personal experience the custom cocktail was also delicious!! The wedding was absolutely beautiful from start to finish (with an incredible sunset/golden hour) and was absolutely perfect which is in large part due to the team at Hudson Loft & On the Marc. We couldn’t have asked for a better or more fun wedding!!”

“We went this week for the first time & our toddlers really enjoyed the gym. There was a variety of activities which kept them engaged & they loved the zip line. The gym could really use a deep cleaning. The mats throughout the gym were dirty along with the cloth swings, trampoline and toys in bins.”

“Did my wedding reception here. If it wasn’t for Esha, I don’t think I would have rated them so highly. There were a few important things that almost fell through the cracks in terms of undiscussed fees, decorations, cutlery, and parking. Esha was quick to sort it out when my now husband and I brought it up. Esha communicated effectively via phone, email, and written statements so there were no discrepancies. She also reminded us of what was to come since we didn’t always understand the plan/details. The actual event turned out beautiful. The waiters were incredibly helpful and accommodating with serving, esp when our own caterer we hired was almost 2 hours late . Our guests loved the venue, the space to dance around, and the valet parking. Thank you Esha for making our special event wonderful towards the end.”

“Best place to make a celebration. I did my baby shower here and they did my food, my decoration and drinks. Everything was perfect, it came out so beautiful and good. Thanks Karen for everything. ??”

“My husband and I were here for our friends' wedding. Well-kept grounds, parking in the back...very nice overall. Everyone who worked there were very helpful. The ladies who brought out the food were so sweet; my husband, me, and the man-of-honor were having such a wonderful conversation outside that we missed dinner being served. We asked if there was any food left- there still was a lot- and the ladies made us plates, so we could still eat (they even asked if we wanted to take some home when there were still leftovers at the end of the night). Overall, it was a nice venue for a wedding (roughly 45 people).”

“My son Really enjoy Dodge ball night. He played football, the bouncy house, and Dodge ball. He was nervous before he got there because he wasn't sure he would have fun.He went home happy, tired and ready for next week. Thank U indoor 365.”
