Best experience

I had the pleasure of having my wedding at Crystal Ballroom in Freehold. It was beautiful, unique and truly perfect for my husband and I. WOW is the first thing that came to mind. The staff was so personal and accommodating. In a way it felt like working with friends. Our wedding wouldn’t be as perfect as it was if the team wasn’t so well prepared. I’ve been to May weddings and I saw after the reception the bride or groom are looking for their flower baskets or the ring bearer signs. At the Crystal ballroom things were in the right hand at the right time. The food was great. The decor was OMG. The morning of the wedding was incredible. I absolutely love this place and I feel like the staff are now considered as family.

Absolutely amazing!

My now husband and I began looking at venues in 2022. The Crystal Ballroom was the first and only place we looked. As soon as we began speaking to the staff and saw the rooms, we loved it. We got married last Friday and everything went incredibly smoothly due to the amazing staff. Amber, Sammi, Maria, and Megan were so great with all of their help with everything from planning months in advance to everything that day. I highly recommend The Crystal Ballroom. Thank you again so much for everything and for truly making our day so special!!
