Grand Ballroom
Up to 325 Guests · Indoor Reception · 2nd floor

Soaring 35-foot ceilings, warm exposed woodwork, refined metal accents, and floor-to-ceiling windows frame panoramic Manhattan skyline views. A wrap-around terrace extends the room toward the waterfront, and the scale, up to 325 guests, makes this the grand finale your wedding day deserves. The higher you go, the better it gets (all the way up to the roof!).

With elegant design and effortless indoor-outdoor flow, this room becomes a living canvas for your wedding day, from cocktail hour, to a romantic first dance under the stars, every celebration takes on a sense of occasion, and every memory feels elevated.
The Ceremony Gardens
Outdoor Ceremony · Lady Liberty Backdrop · Tented Events · Ground floor
No arch, no installation, no backdrop can compete with what Liberty House already has. Ceremonial Gardens inside Liberty State Park, with the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island visible from where you’ll stand, and the Manhattan skyline across the water. The most beautiful outdoor wedding ceremony space in New Jersey, and the only one with this view. And it doesn’t have to stop at the ceremony. Liberty House can accommodate a fully tented outdoor garden wedding on the grounds, extending the celebration outside under the open sky with Lady Liberty as your backdrop from start to finish. Ceremony, cocktail hour, reception, all of it, outside, in the park.

Named after a beloved Jersey City tradition, the historic Nathan’s Patio has become the after party that Liberty House couples and their guests look forward to all night. Great people, great drinks, and an outdoor setting in Liberty State Park that no other venue can offer.

An unforgettable day
Exquisite Views & Even Better Professionals
Prep Process: Liberty House was so accommodating to our every desire on every front. Working with Aurora was a total dream – she handled every request and question with a smile and can-do attitude. She collaborated with our wedding planner seamlessly and was enthusiastically supportive of all of our ideas.
Creative & Execution: On our actual wedding day, Aurora was unflappable as she managed a million moving parts and minor complications. When we arrived at the venue, we’d experienced rain on and off throughout the day; my father asked if we were still going to be outdoors for the ceremony, and she replied, “Of course we are!” The Liberty House team knows how to read the weather and the timeline to ensure we would hit our marks. A team of staffers were on the ceremony lawn thirty minutes before guests arrived, wiping seats down. This was just one small moment of preparedness and attention to detail that made sure the day was
Investment & Value: In the moments before our ceremony, strong wind gusts nearly toppled our chuppah. Aurora and her entire team responded instantaneously – guests later said that no sooner had the chuppah started to tilt than were maintenance staff running in to stabilize it. You want a team who has done a million weddings and is prepared for any combination of circumstances – Liberty House has the most experienced team you can imagine. We especially want to shout out our bridal attendant, Jackie, who was at the ready for any tiny thing – grabbing more food and water; bustling my dress; locating spray-on deodorant for a mid-reception reset. Whatever we needed, she was ready to respond, and she was emblematic of the entire staff.
Our guests were overwhelmingly positive about Liberty House’s food. Many friends and family were convinced that cocktail hour was dinner itself – the selections were so plentiful and varied, it could’ve been the main meal. And where wedding entrees often fail, we universally received praise for all three of the dishes, vegans included! Liberty House undoubtedly benefits from their onsite restaurant and commitment to culinary excellence.
Aurora and Liberty House were also extremely accommodating in our decision to bring in alcohol from an external vendor – the bartenders were communicative in exactly how many cases of beer and wine we needed and served everything without issue.
When you book with Liberty House, you are booking with an extremely experienced, accommodating, friendly, and supportive team who know how to hit their marks perfectly, which leaves more room for creativity and personalization atop a smooth-running machine.
Our Reasoning: Among many reasons, we chose Liberty House because the rain alternative for the ceremony is equal to the outdoor ceremony space (a small thing that ensured we would be happy either way!). We were ultimately & happily married on the lawn, and we were thrilled by how much our guests enjoyed the terrace over the ballroom with the glorious views of Manhattan. Every aspect – the staff, the food, the views, the accommodations, the generosity of spirit – proved that we chose well.
Best day of our lives!!!!!
Perfect wedding venue for your special day!!
Dream Wedding Venue !
May Wedding of Our Dreams!
From the moment we began planning, Danielle’s professionalism and attention to detail made what could have been a stressful process feel effortless. Planning a wedding without a planner can be overwhelming, but the Liberty House staff made it so much easier. Danielle sent timely reminders for everything — from payment schedules to menu reviews and tastings — keeping us organized and on track throughout.
On the day of the wedding, everything ran seamlessly. The staff coordinated beautifully with all our vendors, allowing us to fully enjoy the day without any worries. The bartenders were amazing, the cocktail hour room was stunning, and the aesthetics of the venue — both indoors and out — were absolutely gorgeous. The views of NYC and Jersey City were the perfect backdrop for such a special day, and our guests are still raving about how beautiful everything was.
We truly couldn’t have imagined a more perfect celebration. It meant the world to us to be surrounded by the people we love in a space as breathtaking as Liberty House, supported by a team as thoughtful and professional as Danielle and her staff.
Highly, highly recommend to any couple looking for a dream venue with a team who really cares. Your search is over, Liberty House is everything and more!
Thanks for making our day so incredibly memorable,

Indian-American Wedding
We had our wedding ceremony at an outside venue (our Temple). Our reception was at night time in the Liberty Room and it was perfect. The space was beautifully set up and fantastic. My Bridal attendant Jaqkie was incredible and made sure that my husband and I were fed and with drinks. The reception was perfectly paced with everyone was on the floor dancing the entire night with bellies filled of delicious food. We are so happy even months later!
