“I have been choosing the Pines Manor as a go to venue for many years. They have hosted 8th Grade Dances for my place of employment and recently hosted my daughter's Sweet Sixteen. Their prices are reasonable and the work with you to make things affordable and just right. Rose and Jennifer were knowledgeable and courteous throughout the beginning phases, and Jhonny was a great Maitre d. He was always available to assist and made sure my drinking glass was always full. The Pines Manor is pretty and clean on the outside and inside. The food is good and many of the extras that were added (Mediterranean bar, fajita station, and chocolate fondue) took the event to the next level. Thank you for making my daughter's day special.”
“The best! We just held our annual Installation Dinner event at Forest Lodge and it was perfection! Anthony and the staff at Forest Lodge anticipate your every want and need and go above and beyond to fulfill it! This is the fourth event we have had at Forest Lodge- two picnics with a third scheduled for June, an outside formal dinner event at The Maple Grove pavilion and this one in the Sherwood Chalet- absolutely beautiful and each event has been more magical than before. We wanted a Valentine's Day themed event and Anthony decorated, attended to every small detail and even created a Valentine's Day themed drink menu! The staff even wore red ties to join in the festivities! The food was perfection and we have already booked again for next year! Thank you Anthony, you are the best! If you are looking for a venue for an event you will not be disappointed at Forest Lodge!”
“We had our first and second baby shower here and I will keep recommending everyone to book this place for an event! Lina is such an amazing host, I couldn’t put in words how helpful and kind she was the whole time. Since we were returning customers, she helped us so much more than we could have ever asked for! She goes above and beyond and really made my experience feel like a breeze. You will not go wrong booking with them.”
“I had my daughter’s 1st birthday here and everything was great! Trish and John are so nice and accommodating and were very responsive through email answering any questions. Very easy to work with. The staff was nice and willing to help in anyway, the food and drinks were good and all our guests were happy! We received a lot of compliment on what a nice party it was!”
“My brother got married here earlier this month and it was an amazing experience working with everyone at sapphire grand! The maitre ds were so helpful and on top of things, the venue is stunning, the food was delicious and everything was very well-organized! I would definitely recommend it for anyone!!”
“My wife and I love Sticks. You love everything about Sticks; The service, the vibe, the music and the patrons. Everyone is very friendly. We always feel welcome.”
“Indigo art studio was great for our son’s 6th birthday! They took care of everything and were so kind and accommodating. The party was a lot of fun for the kids and the adults. The party space is large and really cool, with a stage and graphics projected on the wall. Highly recommend!”
“I went for the Haunted Tavern cocktail experience. It's like a spooky ren faire show! I loved it, and I encourage dressing on theme when you go! I don't drink alcohol and they were very accommodating and made me my very own NA versions of the cocktails.”
“The bounce structures were fun and entertaining for the kids and the food they ordered was delicious to both party members and guardians! Mateus and Emma were excellent party hosts, highly recommend.”
“This was my second time using this hall. Joe and Mark was amazing to work with. They made everything convenient for our event and they were very accommodating. I will be back! It was a pleasure.”
“I recently had my baby shower in this venue.
I honestly had a great time and a great experience. Ellis and his team were so helpful and made my event go by super smooth. Everybody was really helpful and nice. The food was excellent, service was great. 10/10 loved the team that was helping me.”

“The place was great for spending time with friends and family. It was small compared to other bowling places I have been to but it doesn’t take away the fun I have had. The food was decent, not great but not the worst but the fried broccoli was a bit mushy. Other items were great, so were the sauces. Overall, this place can be visited for a good time.”
“Had my daughter's birthday party here. It ended up being better than expected. The staff were excellent in making sure our needs were met and our party was happy. Khryi, the manager, met us and made it clear where we are setup and what to do. Nehemiah, our host, checked in often and made the whole thing stress free. We they even decorated the area around the lanes to make it feel extra special.
The food was fine, but there was plenty of it. As others have stated, it's string/marionetted bowling. So if you are looking for a more pro setup, this isn't it. However it's fine enough for a friend's night out or a party as we had.
I don't k ow about a random night out, but if you are looking to host an event here, think of it like top golf but with bowling. It really was a good time for my daughter and her friends and highly recommend!”
“My favorite theater in the area for sure. Love ordering popcorn in advance so I don’t have to wait in line. The loungers are awesome. Super comfy and even heat your behind. Nothing comes close to it in the area.”
“Very clean, nice people and you get to support your local veterans. Rented the space and we'll worth it. Plenty of space, bar on site and alot of parking for guess.”
“Venue was perfect for hosting a 30th birthday party. The guest loved that there was valet parking.I was able to view the venue as many times as needed to make sure I had the party set up to my liking.The bartender was phenomenal and helped with all of our needs during set up and while the party was going.I would definitely use the venue for another event.”
“We came to BRCC with the idea that we wanted to do a quick elopement and then a luncheon with friends and family. As you can guess, we quickly changed our minds after working with Jessica - we ended up booking an entire day affair with 160 guests and it was the BEST decision we could have done. We even had our rehearsal dinner on the patio the night before!
Although we planned our wedding in 9 months, Basking Ridge Country Club hit everything out of the park. They obviously helped us with so much, but what was even more important to us is that they treated our parents, grandmother and siblings like their own family, and checked in with them frequently to make sure they were okay, or to see if they needed anything throughout the weekend.
The food was awesome on both days of the weekend thanks to both Chef Angel and Daniel - but we knew it would be amazing since we frequent the restaurant all the time. Another special shoutout to Kenan who along with Jessica, helped us out planning the whole weekend.
If my husband and I had to do our wedding weekend again, we would choose Basking Ridge Country Club a million times over!”
“The Pet Expo was fantastic. Very crowded and lots of vendors. The building needs a bit of updating, especially the restrooms. The parking area is horrendous. It's not configured well and the road needs repair in too many places.”
“We had the pleasure of hosting two pre-wedding events at Moghul Ballroom and we couldn’t have been happier with our experience. From start to finish, Mr. Shekar was incredibly helpful, attentive, and professional. He answered all our questions, worked closely with us to create a menu that perfectly suited our guests, and was present during the events to make sure everything ran smoothly.
The staff at Moghul Ballroom went above and beyond to make sure both events were seamless and enjoyable. The ballroom itself is beautiful and elegant. Every detail, from the setup to the service during the events, was handled with care and attention.
We truly appreciated the genuine effort to make our events special. We received countless compliments from our guests about the food and service. We highly recommend Moghul Ballroom for any special occasions!”
“We had my daughters Sweet 16 here in March. The Hall is very nice and spacious. The staff was amazing ! Everything ran very smooth. The caterer they use was also incredible, our family and friends all had nothing but positive things to say.”
“We went here for Breakfast with Santa! Well, it was the nicest experience ever with Santa. It was $10 adult and $3 for children, I believe over 3 years old. The decorations made you feel like you were in his living room. The buffet brunch had just enough items to please all. Juice coffee and cookies ad well. You can take all the photos you want with no rush. The tables were large for whole families and Santa could not have have been any better. Maybe next year Mrs. Santa too? We took family photos with Santa as well as just the kids. It was a most enjoyable morning about 2 hours. It is not easy if handicapped. There is stairs to go down and no room for walker or wheelchair. Plenty of parking. Oh, and Santa arrived by fire engine. Really a great experience. I highly recommend. I believe you have to call a head to make reservation but no money was required prior. There was a fifty fifty raffle as well.”
“I had my wedding back in September 2023 and they were so accommodating. The place it’s very clean and very spacious. We had the time of our lives. Thank you to Solange and the staff for taking care of all our needs. ?”
“As a photographer, the Sherwood Chalet is a beautiful spot to host your wedding day! The staff is attentive, the food is wonderful, and the grounds are beautiful for your wedding day photos! You will not be disappointed!”
“I travel for work and I enjoyed my nights here. Staff very friendly and the bartender Pam is awesome and knows everyone’s order that regularly visits.. Even the people I regularly see are good people to have a conversation with while at the bar..But she make me smile?
Rooms: Rooms are clean and nice”
“I recently visited Union Sports Arena to explore it as a potential venue for a private event and had the pleasure of chatting with Ken. To my surprise, the facility is more expansive than it appears from the outside. Ken graciously gave me a tour, showcasing the main rink complemented by a smaller practice rink and a snug indoor field area.The upstairs food shop exuded a welcoming atmosphere, making it seem like a fantastic spot to unwind. Additionally, they offer birthday rental options.They've been there for over 22 years, yet it's a spot I've driven by countless times without paying notice. Tucked off Route 22 a bit, it doesn't stand out from the highway, but nonetheless, it left a lasting impression on me with the story of why they started and the very family-oriented goals they practice.As I consider Union Sports Arena for my private event, I can't help but recommend it, especially for those venturing into hockey at various training levels. The facility seems to boast a great coaching team, promising a nurturing environment for learning and development.”
“Had my 50th Birthday here the hall was spacious and clean as well as the bathrooms. They were very accommodating Especially Brenda who went above and beyond to make sure I had everything I needed Always got back to me in a timely manner very polite. The bartender which we had was amazing funny great personality. They allowed us the night before to drop off our things from decorations, drinks, and food. Brenda opened early 9am the day of to allow us enough time to decorate. I would definitely rent this hall again.So worth it.”
