Beautiful and Great Customer Service

Nicole help us create our dream wedding. Since the first day we met her and visited the venue, we knew it was the one. The venue is very spacious with huge windows with the view of NJ/NYC. The service we got during our wedding was fantastic. Nicole's crew was very friendly and made sure all my guest were happy. Nicole worked with me as I DIY all my wedding decorations. She helped the preparation process be very easy and stress free. Very easy to contact her when I have any questions and concerns. We appreciate everything she has done for us. We are so blessed that we met Nicole. Thank you Nicole and her crew!

Wedding of my dreams

This review is long overdue. St. Peter's especially Laura really helped to give me the wedding of my dreams. Every last detail was perfect and working with Laura was like having a day of coordinator wrapped into the venue.

Amazing staff and venue

We hosted our wedding at St. Peter's University Duncan Family Sky Room in August 2018. When we first started our search, we were disillusioned by the other Jersey City wedding venues who only seem to care about providing the cookie-cutter, elaborate wedding experience.

Lauren LaGreca and the staff at St. Peter's University really sought to understand what we wanted and worked with us for many months on the simple wedding reception we wanted. They were patient in customizing our menu, took into account our multi-cultural heritage, and iterated on our feedback after the tasting. They gave us ideas on how to add some flair into our reception while still respecting our budget and the simple experience we wanted. They were very responsive, professional and easy to work with. They made us feel comfortable amidst the stress of wedding planning.

The venue itself is gorgeous; nothing can beat the natural sunlight and the view of both NYC and the industrial New Jersey skylines.

With a great staff and a wonderful venue, St. Peter's University is a great value for money. We highly recommend them for anyone planning a wedding or other events in Jersey City.

Lauren & ana make magic happen! At a spectacular , majestic venue!

Lauren and Ana perform with such ease, pleasantry and professionalism. Thanks to these two very special women, our most special day will always be remembered for its beauty, its spirit and its uniqueness. We truly appreciate EVERYTHING they did to make this wedding a spectacular event!

With a MAJESTIC, panoramic views of Jersey City, NYC and beyond, The Duncan Sky Room delivers a jaw dropping back drop for any event. To add, it’s modern architecture provides an interior that is aesthetically sleek, beautiful and a perfect venue for a wedding. When we were planning our event this was the only space we considered as we had seen what the event coordinators and crew have done to transform the space for various galas and other functions. Two people in particular go above and beyond to make MAGIC happen, Lauren LaGreca and Ana Zapata- Rendon. These two women, with their keen eye for detail and a sensitivity to design and event production, brought our dream wedding to LIFE. From the moment of conception, to the event execution these two dedicated professionals focused their TALENT and EXPERTISE towards the SUCCESS of our event. For this we are eternally GRATEFUL!

Our MANDALA themed wedding was no easy feat as it involved many different components. Lauren and Ana handled every aspect of it with POISE and GRACE.
In their hands, we realize that anything BEAUTIFUL and EXTRAORDINARY is possible.

Lauren:

Lauren is AMAZING!!!!!
She is friendly, caring, understanding and flexible with so many things.
She helped us to understand the details of the venue and what we have to know during the day.
We are so happy and grateful for Lauren and all the help she offered. 

Space:

This place was the PERFECT place for us. It was spacious and had high ceilings making the place looking even more gorgeous.
We had about 130 people and the place (including the bathroom) stayed clean and nice (not hot/cold at all). Having a suite also helped very much!

We liked LOVED the dance floor being in the front and having all the tables in the back.

Food:
Amazing. Many of my guests live in NY and they can be very picky with food. EVERY SINGLE person I talked to commented on how amazing the food was. Some said it was one of the best food they have had in a wedding venue near NYC area! Food, desserts and all drinks were absolutely amazing.



Staff:
So friendly and professional. They are ready for anything and attentive to all my guests. Desserts and drinks were refilled right away that no guests had to wait.

It is only once in your life time and this is THE PLACE TO BE on such important day! <3

It was an experience like no other. Lauren is incredible. She helped us every step of the way to make our dream wedding a reality. There is no detail too big or too small that she won't overlook in making your day as perfect as possible. She is the best in the world. The entire catering staff was amazing. Jessica and Tabitha are a dream team. Chef Nick and his staff are talented beyond belief. Tasting is believing and we are believers. I would highly recommend this venue to any and everyone I come across who are looking for high quality and the experience of a lifetime.

I could not ask of a better venue and staff. Every detail was amazing my guest loved the food and the NYC sky line especially at night. I am so happy we hosted out wedding at SPU. Also, being an alumni it was an honor to have such a memorable occasion at my old campus. Lauren and Jessica were Godsent and made everything seamless and perfect down to the minute details. With that said if your considering an event of quality I would choose this location the Student Center Sky Room.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
