Booking our wedding at the Crystal Plaza was the best decision we ever made!

Booking our wedding at the Crystal Plaza was the best decision we ever made! From the moment we first walked in the door, we were greeted by Max Janoff like we were family - we immediately felt right at home and knew that we had just found our dream venue. By the time we first toured Crystal Plaza, we had already toured quite a few venues (8+) but Crystal Plaza was unlike anything we had seen at the other venues in North Jersey.

The venue itself is absolutely stunning. From the chandeliers, to the cocktail hour space, to the ballroom, to the gardens, to the atrium, to the penthouse bridal suite, to the groomsmen’s vault - every space is beyond gorgeous and distinctly unique. However, what stood out even more to me was the incredible service and staff.

Truthfully, the decision was easy (as it should be)!

Leading up to the big day, Max and his team were very responsive via email (which was so important to us). Their answers to our questions were always helpful and honest. We were so confident that Max and his team would perfectly execute our dream day because they were so detail-oriented and provided us with great feedback based on their personal experiences.

After the wedding, we asked many of our guests - what are the top things that stood out? The answers were pretty consistent - the service, the food, and Max. These are the best answers that we could hope for. We have had MULTIPLE guests tell us this was one of the best weddings they’ve ever attended.

Our wedding day at the Crystal Plaza was one of the best days of our lives, and it’s all thanks to Max and his team. Do yourself a favor and book asap!!

The best!!!

The Crystal Plaza is an exceptional venue! The team is incredibly helpful throughout the entire process, offering prompt responses at any hour, on any day of the week. On the wedding day, the staff went above and beyond, ensuring every guest had what they needed and that everyone was happy. They are also very accommodating with food requests, making sure all preferences are met. Hunter Janoff was outstanding. He went the extra mile to ensure that every vision we had was brought to life perfectly. If you choose to host your wedding at the Crystal Plaza, you won't be disappointed!!

The perfect venue! Best Custome Service!!

My wife & I hosted our wedding at Crystal Plaza and we could not have dreamed of a better venue for our wedding! The Venue itself is absolutely stunning from the bride/groom suites, the grand ballroom, the atrium, living room and even the bathrooms are award winning!

We were even more blown away by the customer service at the venue! Our point of contact, Max, was so generous and made sure we had everything we could ask for in our dream wedding scenario. Max & Ryan were easy to work with in planning the food and schedule for the wedding day. The amount of food that comes in the package is unbelievable, and it's all delicious! Your guests will be talking about the food alone for years to come.

We can't say enough good things about our Maitre'd Mikhail and our attendants Nina, Lisa, and G who were incredibly friendly, always nearby and willing to provide us with anything we needed while keeping everything on schedule!

Crystal Plaza has perfected the art of hosting a wedding ceremony/reception. The beauty, the customer service, and the quantity & quality of food will give you and your guests the best wedding experience possible!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
