The Perfect Day!

The Chauncey Hotel was the perfect wedding venue for our special day!
We also rented the Laurie House for the weekend and having that extra space for the bridal party to get ready in and a place to hang out in on Friday and Saturday night was amazing!
The venue itself was beautiful! Our guests raved about beautiful the property is and how perfect it was to have the ceremony, reception and hotel all in the same location!
The food was amazing. Even as the bride I ate my entire meal!

Rebecca was top notch! She was extremely responsive all year long with my many questions and emails prior to the wedding.
On the day of, everything was well organized and ran on time! We were able to fully enjoy our day knowing Rebecca was there making sure everything was perfect.

Great food and wedding weekend

We had our wedding at The Chauncey on 10/5/24 and we are so glad we found this Princeton gem! We had about 115 guests with the ceremony in front of the pond, under the shade of the gorgeous trees. The landscaping and background for the ceremony was well manicured and beautiful. We opted to rent the Laurie House for Friday and Saturday which was well worth the money. On Friday, we had a small rehearsal dinner on the Laurie House patio. It was perfect for the guests who had to travel from out of town as everything was on site. We were also able to have a delicious breakfast with our friends and family who stayed in the hotel both Saturday and Sunday morning. Having everything in one location allowed us to spend extra time with friends and family throughout the weekend. Out of town guests were also able to explore the beautiful Princeton area and only had a 10 minute drive to get to the center of town.

The feedback from all of our guests was nothing but 5 stars. Everyone enjoyed the food, the flow, and the ease of having everything in close proximity. Our guests were able to enjoy the entire evening without having to worry about driving. Cocktail hour on the Laurie House patio was delicious and a short walk from the ceremony. It was just another short walk to the tent for the reception while still having access to the beautiful Chauncey grounds all night long.

We couldn't have asked for a better experience for the weekend that we spent at Chauncey. Becca and the staff ensured everything went as planned and made sure that ourselves and our guests had the perfect time. The whole weekend was a surprisingly stress free experience thanks to all the wonderful staff at Chauncey. Communication with Becca throughout the wedding planning process was fantastic. She always responded promptly to our emails and phone calls. She helped guide us as we planned our wedding and helped us organize everything to make sure everything went as smoothly as possible. Overall, we are so glad we chose to have our wedding at Chauncey. It was an amazing experience and we had the BEST weekend ever.

June 1 Wedding

My daughter’s wedding was fabulous! Rebecca was so patient with us and the many questions we had over the months and weekend of the wedding. The staff was wonderful and my daughter’s ceremony and reception went smoothly. The food was excellent as was the service. A month later and we are still getting compliments on the venue, food, and entire experience from our guests. I would highly recommend Chauncey to anyone planning any event!
