Jason Baldanza and the whole staff at The Bethwood made our WHOLE DAY amazing.

From the minute we reviewed what they had to offer until even after our wedding day.. we were treated not only like royalty, but like family.

We had toured about 5 other facilities and when we came to The Bethwood, the others failed in comparison. Not only were we treated like a king and queen but their food is amazing, their grounds are gorgeous and have tons of opportunities for plenty of pictures. We were able to choose on the same day if we wanted to get married inside or outside, depending on the weather and I gotta tell you that was a huge relief.

All our guests thought that any staff member hey interacted with treated them very well. I mean this venue has everything you could need or want and an impeccable Sunday brunch to boot.

Please go here for your wedding and reception! They are wonderful.

We Love You All at The Bethwood!

Anthony and Karen Campione

The perfect venue for the perfect wedding. The Bethwood is an absolutely gorgeous place. Their gardens are breathtaking and the perfect setting for any event. My wedding was a huge hit in this castle and the food and service were perfect. My guests are still talking about it. Dominic was very professional and helpful. He made our night that more special.

The Bethwood is a premier venue for Receptions! So many beautiful photo shots were taken at this venue inside the Spanish castle style building and on thier outside gardens. If you are able to get Assistant Manager Jason Baldanza to work on your venue please do! I loved working with Jason as he has gone above and beyond to put to rest my fears. This was a distance Wedding and Reception for us as we lived in Orlando and our venues were in NJ. Jason worked with us remotely through menu selection, cake designs, coordinating vendors, and even collected Wedding items to store it for us 3 weeks before the event! We had a great Reception thanks to the outstanding staff and the guidance provided by Jason! The venue was elegant, food was top notch, and the professionalism of the staff was second to none. The Bethwood is definately 5 stars - if there were more stars available I would give more. ******* Thank you Bethwood!!!

The Bethwood was amazing. Jason was so good to us from the moment he gave us a tour of the place in the beginning, right down to the moment we were cleaning up after our wedding. He went above and beyond to make us happy and on our wedding day, was very attentive. All of our friends and family raved about the Bethwood and how beautiful our wedding was, as well as how incredible the service and food was! We would highly recommend the bethwood to everyone. Go see Jason! He is the absoulte best

the staff at bethwood was great. the food and the setting was "out of this world". the chapel was decorated beautifully......my out of town guests was "awed" and speechless.

i became frustarted wiith my appoin ed guy, he apologzed and allowedd me to speak with his manager.

afterwards, my appointed guy and I realized that i was becoeing overwhelmed. he assured me all would be fine and we continued to work togethre.


at the end of the night, i must say my appointed guy was awesome. he made sure that i was happy and needed nothing. he did the same for my bubby. i love the bethwood and ejoiyed working with my appointed guy "dominique"

Jason was the manager I first worked with and luckily he was our maitre'd as well. He did a superlative job. All my guests and parents were so impressed. Everybody said that they enjoyed themselves tremendously on our wedding day - this was exactly what I was hoping to hear! Jason and his staff made it so easy to relax and just let the day unfold. Everything went so smoothly. I'm very satisfied with our experience and would recommend the Bethwood to anyone. Plus, the outdoor gardens definitely are important part of what made me want to have the wedding at the Bethwood - my pictures were gorgeous.

Outstanding!! Everyone cant stop talking about how beautiful everything was. The food was out of this world! Everything came out perfect! My maitre D, Jason was off the hook! One of the nicest and helpful Maitre'd you could ever want. He actually drove to the hotel after the reception to drop off a purse any my veil that we forgot and refused a tip!

Ceremony was beautiful as well!

This is like finding the castle from Cinderella in real life. The staff makes you feel like Royalty. The parking is Phenomenal. The food was Delicious. The service was Magnificent. If you want to have a dream event come true, you need to visit the Bethwood in Totowa, NJ. You'll be very glad you did. Ask for Steven Renieri, he is the mastermind behind our perfect night.

The Bethwood exceeded my expectations with their professionalism, timeliness, courtesy and overall customer service. Jason Baldanza was our coordinator and the Maitre'D at our reception and he did a PHENOMENAL job!!! The moment we met Jason, he treated us like we were a king and queen. He was there to help us plan our special day from start to finish and he made himself readily available anytime we needed him. Jason made sure that we had the wedding we've always dreamed of and we will always love him for that. The warmth and friendliness that my husband and I received as clients was beyond impressive. Even though they didn't carry it, Jason placed a special order for a certain brand of vodka that my husband likes to drink. It just goes to show you that The Bethwood will do their very best to make sure you have everything you want and need on your special day. The wait staff was present in the garden with trays of hors d'oeuvres and drinks for us and our wedding party while we were taking pictures. The food selection and top shelf open bar really helped make our reception THE reception of the year among our family and friends. We have received so many compliments on everything. The food presentation was beautiful and it tasted just as good as it looked!!!! Overall, my husband and I are EXTREMELY satisfied with everything The Bethwood had to offer. If you are looking for a venue that will go the extra mile to make sure your day is PERFECT, this is the venue for you!!! I highly recommend The Bethwood!!! YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED!!!

We could not have been happier with The Bethwood. Every request we had they granted right down to a specific server for my wife and myself and they even brought in our favorite wine (which they typically did not stock). Our matre' d DON NEEB was great. He is highly experienced and made sure our wedding was perfect. We not only held our reception here, but our ceremony as well. The guests were held inside until just before because it was so hot and they didnt want our guests uncomfortable. Being we were two brides they also provided us with two fully stocked bridal suites. BOTTOM LINE THEY PROVIDED AMAZING SERVICE AND PAID GREAT ATTENTION TO DETAIL! I did not have to worry at all the entire event. Our wedding was magical!

Dominic was absolutly wonderful. He stayed in touch with me throughout the entire process and bent over backwards over things that I simply mentioned I wanted. The food was excellent. My guests are still talking about the cocktail hour and viennesse. The ice sculpture was amazing - coolest thing we've ever seen. The gardens were ideal for photos and made me fall in love with the location in the first place.

You definitly get your moneys worth at the bethwood. many locations charge an arm and a leg for mediocre food, the same abundance of decor and the only thing they can say is that their location offers one wedding at a time. You know what? I didn't even know there were any other events going on and our ballroom had it's own kitchen and staff so nobody skipped a beat. I'd go to the bethwood for any other event i ever have and would reccomend it to anybody.

My husband and I had both our ceremony and our reception at the Bethwood last September. We worked with Jason, and he was AMAZING to work with! From day 1 he worked with us to make our wedding everything we wanted and more. I cannot stop raving about the Bethwood. The food was amazing, the staff was soooo helpful, and we could not be happier we chose to get married here. Jason was extremely accomodating and helpful. The night before our wedding, I called him (almost in tears) because our hotel had told me they couldn't guarantee that I could get into my room early to get ready. My bridesmaids and I were expecting to be able to get into our hotel about noon to start getting ready. I had hair and makeup coming to the hotel. I was stressed to say the least... Jason (who was in the middle of another wedding) calmed me down and told me to call him in the morning, and he'd work with us and let us into the bridal suite at the Bethwood early if need be. Luckily, the hotel ended up working. But knowing that Jason was so accomodating, and I would not be getting ready in the middle of the parking lot, made me feel a lot better. We could not be happier with our experience with the Bethwood. We will definitely be going back again.
