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.

The Pinkneys Wedding 2025 (Emarld Ballroom)

We couldn't have asked for a more perfect venue for our wedding day. From the moment we first toured the space, we were blown away by the beauty, attention to detail, and the professionalism of the staff. Every part of the planning process was smooth and stress-free thanks to Megan and Amber. On the day of the wedding, everything was flawless-the setup was better than I imagined, the staff was incredibly attentive and kind, and the entire venue looked stunning. So many of our guest commented on how beautiful the space was and how smoothly everything ran. This venue played such a huge role in making our day feel magical. We are beyond grateful and would absolutely recommend it to any couple looking for a place that's not only gorgeous but also truly dedicated to making your big day unforgettable. Thank you again for everything!!!
