The Grand Summit Hotel was our wedding venue. The service by all the waiters and attendants was indescribable. The GSH staff kept everythingon a on a schedule and our night went as planned! It was truly magical! Our guests are still talking about the food at cocktail hour and dinner served at the reception. I have zero complaints. Kathy and her team were wonderfully professional, accommodating and fun to work with. I 1000% recommend booking the GSH as your wedding venue! I look forward to our stay here on our anniversary and and to having other celebrations with them! Thank you to all who worked at our wedding on 7/13/19!

Kathy and her team were amazing through the whole process and especially on the day. The whole night went flawless and made my fairytale into a real night. Everything was as per the agreed timeline and I did not have to worry about a thing on the day of. The staff at the hotel were very accommodating to all my guests staying at the hotel. The food was amazing and loved all the Christmas decorations. Recommend this venue!!!!

During our wedding at The Grand Summit Hotel, so many people told us it was the best wedding they had ever been to. We were so happy with our venue choice. Throughout the whole planning process, Teresa was right there with us - answering all million of my emails and questions. We came to the hotel multiple times to meet with her and see the ballroom and she was willing to help us every time. The wedding day itself was perfect. The hotel was beautiful, the staff were so professional and the food was SO GOOD. Teresa and Kathy took care of everything at the hotel so we could just relax and enjoy the night. They made my vision a reality and then packed it up at the end of the night so we didn't have to worry. Overall, we were so happy with our choice to have our wedding at The Grand Summit!

My wife and I had our wedding reception at the Grand Summit Hotel on December 31st, 2017.
In the months leading up to the wedding, Theresa and her team were attentive, communicative, and welcoming. They provided us with recommendations for a decorator, DJ, cake bakery, florist, etc...we went with all of their recommendations, and they all turned out to be great. Can't say enough about the service at the Grand Summit Hotel and all the supporting members.
The night before the wedding, we had our welcome party in the Hat Tavern. Considering that 90% of our guests were staying in the Grand Summit, it was not only convenient but it was also very well organized. Great space downstairs.
The actual reception was phenomenal. The cocktail hour was a hit...the food was so good that many people ate too much before the main meal was even served! The bartenders were quick and effective as well. The classic, castle-esque look of the Grand Summit Hotel was amplified in the snow of New Years Eve. The venue was truly memorable.
The entire sequence of events throughout the reception ran without a hitch. My wife and I do not have a single complaint. The Grand Summit Hotel was a 10/10, and I would recommend it to anyone looking to get married in a memorable and remarkable place.

The venue was remarkable. Jimmy, Kathy, Teresa and their staff went above and beyond. Loved every moment. They were there every step of the way and eased all fears if any. The day of the wedding Kathy delivered! My breath was taken away when we entered the room for the reception. Nothing but happy tears. We plan to visit every year for our anniversary. What a great way to start our new chapter as husband and wife.

I cannot thank the staff at the Grand Summit Hotel enough for making our wedding absolutely perfect. Teresa was so incredibly helpful every step of the way and I cannot thank her enough for all of her help. She was very responsive to my many emails and calls. We had the rehearsal (down in the Hat tavern), reception, and breakfast the next day all at the hotel and coordinating with the staff was so easy. For those that did not want the party to stop we also stayed until closing at the bar as well.The staff is so accommodating, they kept a conference room open for us to work on our DIY flowers and when our outdoor ceremony was possibly going to be rained out they had a very solid rain plan (luckily it was still outside and they set up the ballroom without any issues right when we made the call) All of our guests loved the food and those who stayed overnight were very pleased with the rooms and service. Thank you Teresa, Jim, and everyone else for an amazing wedding weekend!

The Grand Summit was the most wonderful wedding venue for our September wedding. As a Union County local, I didn't want a "Jersey" wedding and had actually been looking in NYC for a wedding venue when my parents suggested we check out the Grand Summit. I was skeptical but my fiance and I went to look and once we met with Jimmy Thornton and received a tour, we were convinced! The hotel has a beautiful historic feel to it and Jimmy is the nicest guy and a consummate host. The whole planning process went so smoothly because of Jimmy. We did not hire a wedding planner but we didn't need to because of how attentive Jimmy was. He was always available by phone to answer questions that came up in the planning process and he always returned our phone calls within a few hours if we had to leave a message. He coordinated closely with our vendors so our wedding day ran like clockwork. I kept waiting for a crisis to happen because of experiences I've seen from friends and family members but our day and the whole planning process was seamless. During our rehearsal, Jimmy was there to give cues and directions. He worked with our officiant to plan timing and the general flow of the wedding. Our guests raved about their time at the Grand Summit and all accommodations were wonderful. The cocktail hour appetizers and dinner were fabulous. One added bonus of getting married at the Grand Summit was that we had the after-party on site at the Hat Tavern so no one had to drive after a night of celebrating. Also, all guests have breakfast included in their stay so the next morning, everyone gathered in the tavern to relive the night before. My husband and I are so happy that we got married at the Grand Summit and we would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a fun, classic wedding, delicious food and drinks and a great value. Thank you Grand Summit and thank you Jimmy!

"Best wedding we have ever been to!" Our wedding was two weeks ago at the Grand Summit Hotel and every time I talk to one of our guests, this is what they tell me. My husband and I attribute this to Jimmy and his incredible staff at the Grand Summit. We planned our wedding over a year and a half. Whenever I had a question or concern Jimmy was prompt and put my mind at ease. He made the process incredibly smooth before and during our wedding.

Walking into the ballroom the night of the wedding, I was blown away. Jimmy and his staff helped to put my vision for a 'classic vintage fall wedding' together. It was the fairy tale I always dreamed of. Perfection. The food was fabulous. The service was exceptional. The best night of our lives thanks in huge part to the Grand Summit Hotel.

We had a room block of over 40 rooms for our guests which was so convenient and included a hot breakfast the next morning! My husband I and stayed in the bridal suite which was amazing - an old world room with updated amenities. If you book with them, you will not be disappointed. For the rest of my life I will tell anyone I can about how wonderful the Grand Summit was for our wedding.

My husband and I can't say enough great things about our beautiful wedding reception at The Grand Summit Hotel on October 7, 2016. We wanted a vintage and rustic themed wedding. The brick, cobblestone, glass atrium, and fireplace are just a few things that give this venue an old charm that no other venue can top. From the moment we toured The Grand Summit and met with Teresa and Kathy, we were sure we wanted to get married here. The service we received was top notch and the food was outstanding. The accommodations were wonderful and the All American Breakfast is one of a kind! All throughout our planning, Teresa and Jimmy were extremely helpful and responsive. So many of our guests are still talking about the service, professionalism, and the abundant and delicious food from cocktail hour and dinner. Kathy, Teresa, and Jess were so attentive and helpful throughout our entire reception. They made us feel so comfortable and at ease. Not only did we close down The Hat Tavern after the reception, they also let us stay in the lobby for hours afterward. The party was unbelievable and we didn't want our celebration to end! The general manager, Mr. G, and the assistant manager, Mr. Marino, were very kind and accommodating. After having such a wonderful wedding at The Grand Summit, it is clear that they take enormous pride in what they do. They make sure their couples will receive nothing but the best. We can honestly say we feel like family with The Grand Summit Hotel. We would highly recommend them. If you are looking for a classic and elegant wedding at a historic venue with a vintage and rustic feel, look no further. There is a special charm about The Grand Summit and we are so very happy they made our wedding a dream come true. To all the staff, thank you so very much from the bottom of our hearts! Love, Maureen & Brian

I can't say enough about how wonderful our entire experience with The Grand Summit hotel was. We worked with Jimmy Thornton who always made me feel like a priority whether I was peppering him with emails or phone calls. Jimmy's delightful personality and professional demeanor made The Grand Summit and easy choice for our venue. The atrium, where our ceremony toook place, was so beautiful and provided excellent lighting for pictures. The move into the cocktail hour was so smooth and everyone commented on the amount of food as well as the quality. The ballroom was just fantastic, big props to Kathy and Jessica for putting up with me all night. No matter what was going on they made sure I had everything I needed and also made sure I ate my dinner. (which was delicious!) They also accommodated our vegan family members, offering a vegan friendly meal option. The hotel's lobby was also a favorite hang out spot for my guests, and they were totally cool with it! The whole building, outside and in, was exactly the look we wanted for our wedding, I would say maybe rustic/old fashiony… but in the BEST ways! I can't wait to go back and eat at the Hat Tavern downstairs and bother Jimmy some more :) Thank you for the best day of our lives!!!! <3 <3 <3
