We got married at 550 Trackside in October 2017. Roger, the owner, is very enthusiastic and proud of the work that he and his wife have poured into this building to turn it into a beautiful event space. Most of the decorations throughout the building are antiques collected by his wife from around the world. Roger was very helpful and made sure everything went exactly as planned. Below are a few notes from our experience: 1. All alcohol sales are done through the venue, and Roger is very flexible - you can do open bar, cash bar, beer/wine only, or switch between any of the aforementioned at any point (ex: after 9PM, 200 drinks, etc.). He has a base brand for each type of alcohol, but you can serve a “premium” option for an upcharge (he can obtain most brands if you give him enough time to track them down). He also has a signature cocktail served in a large decanter, which was perfect for cocktail hour. You can also decide how many bartenders/runners you would like. 2. The venue is very popular and has events almost every night of every weekend. We decided to hold our rehearsal elsewhere due to an event at 550 Trackside the night before our wedding. We could have held it there the morning of our wedding or around lunchtime the day before, but that didn’t fit well with our schedule. Overall, this worked out fine for us, but it’s something to consider. 3. You get access to the venue starting at 9am, and it’s yours for the entire day. The venue includes a room for the bride and bridesmaids to get ready in, which allowed us to bring the hair and makeup vendor to the venue and made the day much more relaxed/smooth. Having the venue all day also allowed us to take pictures throughout the day. 4. You can hold your ceremony outside, if you’d like. We held our ceremony inside since the interior is so beautiful, then had cocktail hour on the patio outside while the inside room was flipped for the reception.
Overall, we couldn’t be happier we choose 550 Trackside!

First I would like to thank Roger for letting us host my sister's wedding at his beautiful venue. He was honest , friendly and always there to answer our questions. He accommodate us with anything we needed to make our day a memorable one. He has an amazing crew that made our day go smoothly. They were there to help and assist us withanything even if it was not their duty to do so.
I want to mention some names for their amazing job, Broderick , Greg and his wife. Absolute wonderful people that actualy went beyond and above to make the day a memorable one. Thank you all :)

There was one person to the exception Lisa. She was rude and negative all the way.

Anyways I just said the above line just to mention her name but the overall experience was absolutely successful and wonderful.

Thank you again Roger and his crew.

We used 550 Trackside for our wedding day and were so impressed!!! The customer service was excellent from the very beginning. The manager Roger was very flexible and made himself available for multiple tours for my family, friends, and I while coordinating for the wedding, he was very patient and timely answering numerous emails and phone calls with all my questions, there is a perfect place for everything no matter what layout you choose, Roger and his staff were professional and well prepared the day of the wedding, the venue was beautiful and one of a kind. At one point we ran out of plates (somehow they were misplaced- we never found them) and were able to borrow dinner & cake plates from the venue and avoided a major catastrophe! I could say so much more! We received so many compliments from guests. We are so grateful to have had such a wonderful vendor for our big day. Thanks again! Highly recommend :) The only cons I would mention: flip time from ceremony to reception was quoted at 20 minutes maximum and it took about 40 minutes and we were not told the table assembly was not included with the room flip and did not find out until the morning of the wedding when we arrived.

550 Trackside is an INCREDIBLE wedding venue! (I'm biased, of course, but I would say it is the best venue!). I grew up in Lawrenceville and didn't know this place existed--Definitely a hidden gem!

My husband (then-fiance) and I visited 550 soon after we were engaged and fell in love with it immediately; a few days later we cancelled the other two venue visits we had lined up and booked our wedding date. 550's schedule does fill up quickly, so book early! We booked in January for our August wedding, and we reserved the last Saturday available in August, and I believe that once we booked, Roger, the owner, said he only had four Saturdays left the whole year.

Roger is extremely helpful--He was always quick to respond to our emails and calls and was willing to meet multiple times and even to schedule a time for me to meet alone with my wedding coordinator so she could see the venue.

Roger is very upfront about costs and what is included in the price. We had no surprises regarding costs, and I
feel that the pricing is very fair for what is included with the venue. The venue is so beautiful and has such lovely lighting already that it doesn't require a lot of major decoration like some other venues would. They even encourage couples to print personalized poster-sized pictures to place on top of the four frames hanging on the walls inside to make the venue space their own. It is gorgeous!

550 Trackside does not require you to use any specific vendors (other than their bartenders and bar, if desired). Roger can refer vendors, but he does not pressure you to use any in particular. The venue offers open houses throughout the year as well--These were a lot of fun, and we did find some of our vendors through the open houses.

Roger and his team are extremely organized and efficient. I highly suggest using his set up, flip, and break down teams. We added and adjusted details up until the week before the wedding, and everything turned out absolutely perfectly

550 Trackside is the perfect venue for a wedding and many other special events and occasions. It is one of the most beautiful venues that I have ever been to. I would describe it as elegant rustic. All of the décor in the building has been hand-picked from all over the world by Roger and his wife to add beauty, elegance and character to the venue. Roger Kahn, the owner, is so easy to work with. He is always available to answer questions, offer suggestions and is so very helpful as the date gets closer. He was very accommodating when we wanted to visit the venue to gage how we would decorate, what we needed or when the coordinator and photographer wanted to look at the venue. You are able to get in the day of the wedding as early as 9:00 am to get ready and to decorate. There is a beautiful bride suite for the bride and her bridesmaids to get ready in. My daughter had 6 bridesmaids plus the mothers and we all were very comfortable in the suite as we had our hair and makeup done and got dressed. Plenty of room for everyone. The groom and groomsmen use the office once they arrive. 550 Trackside has huge a catering kitchen which our caterer loved. The venue is set up for the wedding with the reception tables off to the side, so you can set the tables and decorate them prior to the wedding. After the wedding, guests are ushered outside for appetizers and drinks during the 20-30 minute flip. The bridal party and family stays inside for pictures. The patio is beautiful and shaded with bistro tables and chairs. After the flip the guests are invited back in to a beautiful reception hall and the party begins. Roger helped us decide how we wanted to stage all of the things (cake, photobooth, DJ, bar, buffet, gift table, etc). Roger was amazingly helpful during the seven months prior to the wedding. 550 Trackside is a simply wonderful venue & I cannot say enough good things about the owner, Roger, his staff. I highly recommend it!

We LOVE this venue! I fell in love with it from the moment I stepped inside. My husband and I recieved many compliments on or venue selection for our wedding in August. Roger is very professional, responds quickly, and is great to work with. He provided us with many of the things we needed and was flexible in working with us to make our day everything we hoped for and more.

We had our wedding reception at 550 Trackside, and we are so glad we chose this venue. The venue is beautiful and full of historic details. It is close to the train track which gives it a local, rustic charm. We received so many compliments from our guests on the reception venue. We had an early afternoon church ceremony, so it was important to find a venue that was flexible for the reception hours. The owner, Roger, was wonderful to work with, and allowed us to customize our start time to avoid any gaps between ceremony and reception. We did not have a wedding planner/ coordinator, but Roger made our planning stress-free, and assisted with the set-up. We would definitely use this venue again. I highly recommend this venue for any type of large event!

We had our daughter's June 20 wedding reception at 550 Trackside. The venue was perfect and working with Roger was wonderful! From day one of planning, he provided us with historical information about the building (it is easy to tell how much he loves the place) as well as a written estimate of potential costs that proved to be accurate and fair. As mother of the bride, I genuinely appreciated the billing experience because I found Roger to be easy to contact via phone and email and there were NO surprises once final payment was due. This helped keep us within our budget which was important to our family. In addition, Roger directed us to excellent hotel lodging that provided transportation from the reception. This worked very well and was important to us because we had a lot of out of town guests who went to a lot of trouble to come, so it was nice to have things in place for them. Roger gave us a great recommendation in that area! Our local and out of town guests commented on the beauty of the building and it more than accommodated a guest list of around 230. We highly recommend 550 Trackside. It is a beautiful place filled with rich history, easy to get to, they work well with outside vendors, have an amazing staff (Roger is outstanding) who cares about you, and are patient in explaining how things work to first time families! We loved our time at 550 Trackside. Our new son-in-law and daughter were really happy with the whole day! Highly recommended!

Roger was so helpful and easy to work with. He answered my thousands of questions with patience and gave me great advice for planning an amazing wedding. His staff was efficient and accommodating on the day of the wedding. The facility is beautiful and budget friendly! You will not be disappointed.
