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!

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.

If you want one of the most stunning views of Manhattan possible, look no further. The top floor of St. Peters has it all, including spacious dance floor, and a top shelf caterer to take care of all your food and drink needs. Give this place a shot...they are wonderful.
