Our Guests Are Still Talking About It!

From the moment we got engaged, we knew we wanted our wedding reception to be unforgettable—and Crowne Plaza Princeton exceeded every expectation.

Our reception in May 2026 was absolutely incredible. Every single member of the staff went above and beyond to make us, our families, and our guests feel welcomed and genuinely cared for. A special thank you to Jennifer and Mikaylah at the front desk, Kate and Heather in the sales office, Ana, Colleen from the bar, and the entire banquet team. Your kindness, professionalism, and attention to every little detail made all the difference.

The venue looked beautiful, the service was exceptional, and everything ran so smoothly that we were able to simply enjoy every moment. The biggest compliment we can give is that our guests are still talking about how much fun they had and how amazing the reception was. We received countless compliments about the food, the atmosphere, and the staff throughout the night.

Thank you for helping create memories that Nicole and I—and everyone who celebrated with us—will cherish for the rest of our lives. If you're looking for a venue that truly cares about making your day special, we can't recommend Crowne Plaza Princeton highly enough.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
