Our Dream Wedding Made Reality at The Sterling Ballroom!

We had our wedding at The Sterling Ballroom at the DoubleTree by Hilton in Tinton Falls, and we truly could not have asked for a better experience from start to finish. From the very beginning, planning was made incredibly easy thanks to Allison. Her communication was seamless - she was always quick to respond, answered every question thoroughly, and made the entire process feel stress-free and well organized.

On the day of our wedding, Nemo and his team were absolutely amazing. They went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly and that every detail was exactly how we envisioned it. Knowing we were in such capable hands allowed us to fully relax and enjoy our day.

The food was truly top-notch. Guests are still talking about it and jokingly asking for a redo with an extended cocktail hour because there were so many incredible stations and options to try! Our guests definitely enjoyed the open bar and our signature drinks - the bartenders were amazing and kept us well hydrated 😉. Our package also included our wedding cake from Palermo’s, and it was absolutely delicious—both beautiful and a huge hit with our guests.

Another major highlight was the accommodations. Our package included multiple rooms, including the beautiful Presidential/Honeymoon Suite for the guys to get ready in and our wedding night, as well as a dedicated Bridal Suite, which was stunning, spacious, and perfect for the morning of the wedding.

We also hosted our rehearsal dinner and post-wedding brunch at the hotel, and having everything in one location was so convenient for both us and our guests. No one had to worry about transportation or missing events, and even though everything took place at the same venue, the food was different for each event and never felt repetitive - every meal was excellent.

Overall, The Sterling Ballroom and the entire team exceeded our expectations in every way. The service, food, coordination, and convenience were perfect. We would absolutely recommend this venue to any couple looking for a seamless, memorable, budget-friendly and truly special wedding experience.

Affordable, beautiful venue

Affordable, beautiful, the staff is amazing and helpful. Runs everything smoothly. We booked during one of their two week wedding sales and let me tell you if you’re looking for an affordable wedding venue that has SO much included for the price - look no further ! The ONLY con is there isn’t much around for nice outside photos - a good photography team will figure it out though 😊

Everyone that stayed had a wonderful hotel experience as well and the food was SOO delicious everyone raved about it. I wish I could give them more stars!

The Best Day of our Lives!

We had our wedding at the Sterling Ballroom on June 14, 2025, and it was absolutely perfect. From the start, Allison was incredible — she always answered my (many) questions and made the planning process feel easy and stress-free. On the day of the wedding, Nemo was so helpful and made sure everything ran smoothly. We went with the Executive Package and are so glad we did. The food was delicious — our guests are still raving about the cocktail hour! The space itself is beautiful, and once decorated, it truly felt like ours. Our vendors had no issues, and everything came together seamlessly. I didn’t even need to hire a wedding coordinator, which was a huge bonus. Even when we had to move our ceremony indoors due to rain, the staff handled it all quickly and flawlessly. They flipped the room and made it look amazing. We had 147 guests, and everything exceeded our expectations. Thank you to the entire team at Sterling Ballroom for making the best day of our lives so beautiful and memorable!

Amazing Venue

Sterling Ballroom did not disappoint. From the staff, to the food, to the atmosphere. Everything about this place was exceptional. They did an amazing job making my wedding the perfect day. And the attention to detail on the decorations was more than I could have asked for. Not to mention the helpfulness and kindness of the staff made planning a wedding at this venue an absolute pleasure and a breeze. Allison and Nemo knocked it out of the park. This is a highly recommended venue for any special event or occasion.

The A team

The Sterling Ballroom receives my highest of praises! My husband and I held our wedding here in September and when we booked, we had no idea what it could be due to the renovations that were happening. Allison, our fearless wedding coordinator/catering sales director, went above and beyond to make sure renovations that needed to be done would be completed by the time of our wedding so that there would be little to no disruptions. And she absolutely delivered! We met with Allison numerous times throughout our 10 months together working and thinking through the details of the wedding. She was helpful, organized, responsible and just a joy to work with! Our wedding was spectacular - our guests had the best time and the food was delicious! The high tide and the carving stations were HUGE hits; all of us are foodies and everyone was just in awe by the caliber of the food quality! The entire staff was attentive, friendly, fun and really took care of everyone. Sindy who helped Allison with some of the coordination was remarkable and so helpful. She was such a lovely person to work with and made sure my mom was taken care of, and that is so appreciated in the midst of a hectic day! Our maître d' Nemo was so wonderful and made sure everything was set up properly and packed up at the end of the night, and that we stuck to the schedule. He was by our side throughout the night and just made sure we always had everything we needed. They were just a dynamic team. They coordinated not just the wedding, but the rehearsal dinner and our post wedding breakfast. We also had a whole tea ceremony the morning of the wedding and they made sure that was in tip top shape!

I also need to give Faye, Brooke, Melissa and Andrew huge shoutouts for taking care of our guests who stayed at the Doubletree. They were organized and made sure everything was stress-free!

This was really a wonderful experience and I am still on cloud nine from this dream of a wedding. Thank you to this entire team so much! Please give these guys a raise!!

Love, Tiffany and Erick

Great Experience

I had a beautiful outdoor ceremony in the garden, then cocktail hour in the Sapphire room and reception in the Sterling room. No complaints - everything was flawless. There was tons and tons of food. I love that my guests could party in the hotel all weekend, and that the wedding area has a separate entrance. Highly recommended!

Amazing Venue!

Every single person we dealt with was amazing from start to finish! Allison took a lot of stress away from us with wedding planning and Nemo was there all day making sure everything went well and was set up. They were both incredible and made our day stress-free! The guests all raved about the food, it was definitely the highlight of the wedding! So much delicious food at the cocktail hour and then the dinner was also delicious! I would 100% choose this venue again!
