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.

Best of the best!

I couldn’t have asked for a better venue. From the beginning to the big day, the crystal ballroom really just handled everything and made the day amazing. Megan was great during the planning process, she answered every single question pretty much instantly and helped me so much. Rebecca was great when it came to our hotel block and always kept us updated. The hotel was so accommodating to us and our guests. No one had a single complaint! On the day of, Amber handled every single thing. From setting up our decor, to guiding our vendors, to even making sure I always had a drink in my hand. She worked so hard, and it was very impressive. She thought of things that I didn’t even think of myself! I felt so at ease the whole time, and like I was in really good hands. This team really cares about their brides and grooms. They go above and beyond. They were more than I could have ever imagine and helped make my day go better than I could have ever asked for. Get married here!! You won’t regret it. My guests also said the food was amazing, and the space was stunning! Also the bridal suite is awesome- huge space perfect for getting ready. I could go on and on about how many little things they thought of and how there are so many great things about this venue but sadly I am running out of characters!
