Chauncey Hotel & Conference Center

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.

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.

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!

We were so happy with the Chauncey Hotel and Conference Center for our wedding venue! We worked initially with Larissa Thomas, who helped us book the venue and answered all of our questions. Larissa was very patient and detail-oriented. We then worked with Amanda Puskar, who knew exactly how to guide us in the wedding-planning process. She recommended vendors, arranged a food-tasting on-site, organized the on-site rehearsal, and went over all of the details with us, from menu choices and table arrangements to the general timing and coordination of the ceremony, cocktail reception and dinner. Amanda really knows what she’s doing and was there during the whole wedding day to make sure everything went smoothly. The Chauncey grounds are beautiful, and we found them to be perfect for our elegant, outdoor nature-themed wedding. We used the gazebo next to the lake for our ceremony. Our cocktail reception was on the patio of the Laurie House. Dinner and dancing were under a large and lovely white tent lit by string lights. The waitstaff and servers, along with the banquet manager Jen Burns, were friendly and attentive. The food was delicious. We chose the seated dinner option, which allowed our guests to choose from several pre-selected options. We also selected several “enhancements”—including a shrimp station at the cocktail hour, and a candy bar and donut wall after dinner. Our guests told us how much they enjoyed the ambience, the food and especially the idyllic Chauncey setting. We would definitely choose the Chauncey Hotel and Conference Center again—it packs a lot of punch for the price and is a hidden gem in the Princeton-area wedding venue market.

Chauncey Hotel and Conference Center is the perfect place for a wedding! The grounds are absolutely beautiful, and the tent is the perfect place for a reception. Having everything, including the hotel, on site made everything easy for our guests. The food was outstanding and the staff were very professional, kind, and accommodating. Amanda was the best coordinator - answering all of our (probably) annoying questions and easing our nerves throughout all of our planning. We cannot say enough great things about her. Lastly, we highly recommend booking the Laurie House for your wedding. It’s the perfect place for the bride and groom, as well as the bridal party or close friends to stay. Definitely worth every penny! Overall, we are so happy that we had our wedding at Chauncey - it was absolutely perfect.

I looked at 12 venues before deciding to look at the Chauncey Hotel and Laurie House and it was the only venue my fiancé (now husband) came with me to tour. He absolutely fell in love with the grounds (especially the fact that he could go for a run the morning of our wedding) and I knew right away that it was going to be perfect for us. Amanda was incredible from that day in January of 2021 all the way through to the wedding day. She was very attentive and understood our vision for the day. She accommodated all my very specific details I wanted incorporated and honestly executed them better than I could’ve imagined. We did work with Larissa as well when Amanda was on maternity leave who was great too! I was very big on communication and organization which I think helped the days run smoothly. I highly recommend renting out the Laurie House for the bridal party. All the bridesmaids/maids of honor stayed in the Laurie house and we still had plenty of room! The guys got ready in the downstairs gentlemen’s lounge and the women got ready in the room right off the kitchen. It was plenty spacious for 12 women plus 2 hair and makeup people. Since we had the Laurie House, we did the rehearsal dinner on the patio the night before the wedding. We did the barbecue package with three hour open beer and wine bar and the food was crazy delicious. They are so attentive and really make everything so easy. The day of the wedding was awesome. They had a carafe of coffee delivered to the Laurie House as well as lunch for the girls. Larissa and her team were on top of everything. The entire day was truly incredible. We made it a point to go to cocktail hour and eat all the food possible. Let me say the food was to die for. HIGHLY recommend the mac and cheese station! Everyone raved about the food! We lucked out with the perfect day for weather so everything outdoors was perfect. Dinner was fantastic as well! My husband and I got the beef and we are still talking about it. We had our own private waitress Nadine who was so sweet! They even had a plate of the cocktail hour appetizers ready for us! The day and night were incredible. Amanda and her team were great to work with. The location was perfect and I really can’t say enough good things about having a wedding at the Chauncey Hotel and Laurie House.

The Chauncey was the most perfect venue for our wedding, and we can't say enough amazing things about it! From our very first visit and tour with Amanda, to how they handled everything extremely professionally throughout COVID, to the actual wedding weekend itself - we are beyond grateful we went with the Chauncey. The staff, and every single human we encountered during our Thursday - Sunday stay, was so helpful and kind. Our guests went out of their way to tell us they felt the same! We made the Laurie House a home for our wedding party for the weekend and it was a great centralized location to spend extra time with our loved ones, the perfect place to get ready the morning of, and just all around made for a charming stay. We didn't have to worry about anything leading up to the rehearsal or wedding, and everything was taken care of exactly as we requested. The grounds were stunning - so lush and well maintained. And Amanda - she was freakin amazing. Not only was she very communicative throughout COVID, she made sure we were comfortable and only worrying about enjoying ourselves. She was a true Jane-of-all-trades, doing anything and everything to make sure our weekend was perfect. We have not a single regret about having our wedding at the Chauncey and certainly plan to be back again. Thank you so so much to everyone who had their hand in making our weekend magical!

Chauncey has been extremely accommodating throughout the wedding planning process and very easy to work with. We were originally suppose to have our wedding September 2020, but Chauncey graciously postponed our wedding date to May 2021 with ease during these stressful, COVID times. Jerry, our day coordinator, really stepped in and made our wedding day enjoyable. He made sure the whole day flowed smoothly from start to finish.

The venue itself is pretty much all inclusive and it feels like an oasis out in Princeton. Our guests felt very relaxed, safe and had a breath of fresh air. We couldn't of asked for more!

We were looking around the Knot and other websites, trying to find a low-key, reasonably-priced, but nice venue in the Princeton, NJ area, and came across Chauncey. It was the first place we visited, and after seeing several other venues, we immediately went back to Chauncey to book! We had our wedding on April 26, 2019, and are still in awe at how perfect our whole wedding weekend was! Their events coordinator, Amanda was fantastic from the beginning! She is so easy to work with, responsive, personable, confident, and super creative and organized. They have fantastic wedding packages at reasonable prices, and the hotel stays are clean, and very reasonably-priced as well. Amanda helped us stay organized throughout the whole planning process, we had a fun tasting menu session there, and then from the hotel stays in the main hotel, and the Laurie House - they were all great, through the end of wedding weekend - it was all just perfect. Every worker at Chauncey is friendly, approachable, and helpful. Then wedding day came, and it could not have gone more smoothly. We woke up to a text from Amanda asking if we needed coffee, she was available and directive all day -- coordinating setting up literally everything from the ceremony, to reception. We were originally supposed to have our ceremony outside on the lawn by the gazebo, but rain was in the forecast, so it was great to have a plan B of the ceremony being under the big tent on the lawn. HOWEVER, morning of the wedding came, and it started DOWNPOURING and lightning, and that meant we couldn't even have our ceremony under the tent. Amanda ended up coordinating our ceremony to be in an indoor space in a room that's not normally meant for wedding ceremonies, however - it was beautifully and creatively decorated by Amanda and team and honestly, we ended up being so happy it rained because the space inside ended up being so beautiful. Amanda took part in every detail, from adding flowers to our cake, to ensuring the ceremony was timed perfectly, to overall-just ensuring we had a truly MAGICAL wedding. It was better than we ever could've imagined, despite it raining, and us being on plan C of a ceremony location. If you want a fun, relaxed, and reasonably-priced wedding, we could not recommend Amanda and the Chauncey Hotel enough. Thank you so much Amanda, and everyone at Chauncey!!!- Shay and Dion Privett, wedding at Chauncey on April 26, 2019.

Amanda and staff were so easy to work with and did an amazing job at our wedding this past weekend. I would not hesitate to recommend the Chauncey. The food was incredible and everything was handled so well.
