If I could give Nanina's more than 5 stars, I would.

From the moment we booked, the entire team made us feel like we were in the best hands. Planning a wedding comes with countless questions, and Steve was incredibly responsive, patient, and helpful throughout the entire process. Every email was answered thoughtfully and quickly, which made planning so much less stressful and gave us complete confidence leading up to our wedding day.

On the day itself, Vicky exceeded every expectation we had. She took everything we discussed during our final meeting and brought it to life flawlessly. Every detail was handled, and every transition was seamless. We never had to worry about a thing because the team was always one step ahead.

A special thank you as well to Myriam and John, who were attentive, professional, and genuinely caring throughout the entire evening. They anticipated our needs before we even had to ask and made us feel so well taken care of.

The food was phenomenal, the service was exceptional, and the overall experience was beyond anything we could have imagined. Weeks later, our friends and family are still reaching out to tell us how beautiful everything was, how amazing the food was, and how much fun they had.

Our wedding day was absolutely perfect, and Nanina's played a huge role in making it that way. We only wish we could do it all over again. Until then, we'll be recommending Nanina's to every engaged couple we know.

Best Wedding Venue in NJ

There is just not enough good things that I can say about this place that will truly describe how amazing this venue was. The pictures don’t even do this place justice from how beautiful it is, from the grounds, the chapel, the main ballroom and the bridal and new groomsmen suites!! The food is unreal and they truly just feed you until you pop both in cocktail hour and Viennese hour. From the start when we sat down and discussed our contract to the day of the wedding, communication was clear and prompt and the service was just unbelievable. Stephen was our Sales manager who set the tone from the jump. Our questions were always answered in a timely manner, there was no hesitation on working with our schedules to meet in person and he was incredible when working with our budget and setting things up in a payment plan that worked for us since my fiance and I were paying for our wedding ourselves which was honestly super helpful and allowed us to splurge on quite a few things since we had time to pay for it over time. Jason was our Maitre Di the day of, and he was the definition of don’t worry I’m going to handle everything, because he truly did. There truly was not a thing I had to handle or worry about that day with Jason there and he made the wedding run perfectly and everything was exactly where it needed to be when it needed to be there. He was present throughout the entire day, without being obvious, but I never had to worry about looking for him for more than like a couple of minutes which was just really amazing.
It is true when people said you do not need a DOC coordinator because everything was run so perfectly between Jason and our attendants we had throughout the day.
My husband and the groomsmen had Johnny in the new groomsmen suite, “the Grotto” who had all the guys taken care of that morning so perfectly, even my dad could not get over how amazing he was. He even came to me to introduce himself to make sure I knew who he was and if I needed anything, I could always ask him which I thought was really sweet. As for me, I had Sally, my morning of attendant and Martha, the head bridal attendant. Both of them just truly amazing. Neither one of them let neither me or any of my bridesmaids/MOB/MOG lift a finger the whole day. Dresses were steamed, food was brought, drinks were handled, everything was handled perfect by them. Even one of my bridesmaids dresses broke that day, Martha literally broke out a sewing kit to fix it before the ceremony started.
Like I said words can’t explain how happy we were with Nanina’s and we are so grateful they made our wedding day, the day of our dreams.

10/10 this is THE venue

Nanina's In the Park is THE venue. I had my wedding there on 04/09/26 and it was one of the best experiences. We were surrounded by beautiful greenery and cherry blossoms. The staff there made the entire day so perfect. We met with Steve and Liz who were great helping us pick out everything, getting us set up, and answering all our questions. For the day of I have to give shoutouts to Robert, John, Sally, and Daisy, with an extra big shoutout to Daisy. As the bride, she made sure my day was seamless and amazing. It is two weeks after my wedding, and I still get texts daily about the amazing cocktail hour and how much food there was! Guests were just blown away. Nanina's also offers their pasta sauce as a favor for a price, and everyone has used it and loves it! A great addition for those looking for a useful favor. All in all, if you're looking to feel like a princess, totally pampered and have a stress-free wedding day this venue is for you. We got ready there, married in their stunning chapel, and had the reception all in the same place so no traveling stress! 10/10 recommend!

Grant and Sierra Wedding

My wife and I had just gotten married last weekend. Throughout the entire night and the entirety of this last week, we had people approaching us saying that this was the best wedding that they had ever been to. Both my wife and I agree when we say that we are so pleased with absolutely everything to do with the day. We would recommend this venue to absolutely anyone who wants a beautiful wedding day. The venue is gorgeous, the food was delicious, and the staff was very attentive. We love Nanina's!

Wedding 07/24/2025 at Nanina's

The most amazing wedding venue experience. From our very first meeting with Julian and the Nanina’s in the Park team, we were so grateful for the information provided, the way Julian guided us in the right direction, and his patience in answering all of our questions. From start to finish, the level of care and attention the team provided was truly exceptional. Rob, Daisy, Crystal, and Sally ensured everything ran seamlessly the day of—following a carefully planned timeline so we never had to worry about a thing, helping me with my dress bustle, helping Alex with his bow tie and tux, checking in on us throughout the night to make sure we ate, and even making sure we always had a drink in hand. Their attentiveness allowed us to be fully present and enjoy every single moment, which was a gift we will never forget.

The bridal suite was such a wonderful part of the day—clean, spacious, and so beautiful to get ready in. The private room where I put on my gown was tucked away and felt incredibly special, allowing me to have that quiet, intimate moment without anyone seeing me beforehand. It truly added to the magic of the day.

We were also grateful for the many thoughtful add-ons that enhanced the celebration—the lighting, the beautiful touches throughout the venue, and the countless details that made the night feel so special. Steve was also such a great help in coordinating the final details, giving us complete peace of mind leading up to the big day.

We especially appreciated the flexibility in accommodating our beer and signature drink requests, which made the celebration feel even more personal. Our guests are still raving not only about the elegance of the venue but also about the food—many told us it was the best wedding they had ever attended. The chef not only delivered an unforgettable menu but also went out of his way to chat with our guests, adding a warm, personal touch that made everyone feel welcomed and cared for.

Nanina’s in the Park was the wedding venue of our dreams, and because of the dedication, professionalism, and warmth of the entire team, our day was everything we had hoped for and more.

Unforgettable Day, Flawless Team

Nanina’s in the Park truly made our wedding day unforgettable! From the moment we toured the venue to the final dance of the night, every detail was handled with care, professionalism, and genuine warmth. The venue itself is stunning, but what truly sets Nanina’s apart is the exceptional team and the incredible food.

A huge thank you to Rob, our Maître D’, who ran the show flawlessly. He kept everything moving smoothly and made sure we (and our families!) were completely taken care of. I never had to worry about a thing because Rob was already 10 steps ahead.

Myriam, my bridal consultant, was a total gem—calm, thoughtful, and so organized. She guided me through the entire process with such kindness and attention to detail, helping bring our vision to life while keeping everything stress-free.

Julian, the General Manager, was such a pleasure to work with—always available, supportive, and so clearly passionate about making every event special. And Vicky, one of the amazing managers, went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect, from timeline logistics to last-minute tweaks.

And then… the FOOD! Our guests haven’t stopped talking about it. From cocktail hour to dessert, every bite was incredible. The variety, the quality, the presentation—it was all five-star restaurant level.

If you’re considering Nanina’s for your wedding, DO IT. The setting is gorgeous, the service is impeccable, and the team truly cares about your big day. We couldn’t have imagined a more perfect experience.
