Best Wedding Ever!

I can't say enough great things about The English Manor. From the venue, the staff, the food, price, and coordination of the day- everything was beyond perfect. My husband and I fell in love with the gardens area for the ceremony space and the deck/patio for the outdoor cocktail hour. The reception room is gorgeous, and the EM staff work with you to make your vision come to life and they are all so friendly. We had Marlyn as our Maitre'd and she went above and beyond to ensure our day went smoothly. She did so much but to name a few, she brought us waters while taking family photos, bussled my dress, helped with a boutonnier crisis, and consistently brought us our signature drinks without us even asking. We received soooo many compliments about the food, both cocktail hour & dinner. It is DELICIOUS and there is so much of it! Our wedding was an absolute dream at The English Manor .

Breathtaking venue with exceptional service

I cannot begin to express how incredible our experience at The English Manor was. From start to finish, everything was absolutely perfect. The venue itself is stunning. We looked at over 10 venues and after stepping inside of The English Manor, we knew this is where we wanted to start our beginning. The staff went above and beyond to make sure every detail was taken care of, and we felt so well-supported throughout the entire process. We especially loved working with Troy. I had no doubt that my vision for the night would come to life with him in charge. All our needs were met from the minute we stepped foot into the venue until we walked out. Chrissy was also my bridal attendant and made sure that we were fed and had drinks all night long. The staff is truly exceptional and I could not have asked for anything more from them.
The atmosphere was everything I imagined and more, and our guests couldn’t stop complimenting how beautiful the setting was. Whether it was the ceremony space, the reception area, or the overall ambiance, every corner of the venue exceeded our expectations. Even though it ended up being a very windy day, Troy made sure to still pull off having our ceremony outside and our pictures were breathtaking in the garden.
The food is also incredible. We got married April 13th, 2024 and we still have people raving to us about how great the food was. Food was extremely important to us when picking the venue and they came through with their promise. After each person received their meal, they even came around and asked if anyone would like seconds. We also did the pork roll to go station and that was a big hit. I have people telling me that it was some of the best food they ever had at a wedding before.
If you're looking for a place that will make your wedding day feel like a dream come true, I wholeheartedly recommend The English Manor. They made our day unforgettable, and I’ll always cherish the memories we made there. Thank you so much for making our wedding everything we ever dreamed of! I cannot recommend you guys enough.

Incredible team, food, and grounds for a perfect wedding!!

We got married at The English Manor at the end of October, and it was absolutely perfect. Chrissy, our wedding coordinator, initially gave us a tour, helping us envision every detail of our wedding day. We instantly fell in love with the venue’s charm and elegance, from the garden ceremony space to the cocktail hour and stunning reception area.
Chrissy was our main point of contact throughout planning and introduced us to our Maitre D, Marlyn. Marlyn is simply incredible, and we were thrilled to have her by our side on our wedding day. She worked magic in every detail, answered all our questions promptly, and made us feel truly special. I’ll genuinely miss this team; they were nothing short of perfection.

The English Manor has everything you need for an unforgettable wedding—from incredible food that guests raved about long after the day, to beautiful grounds for a picturesque ceremony, a charming cocktail hour, and an amazing reception. The team genuinely listened to our vision and cared deeply about making it a reality. I had no stress on our wedding day because they handled everything. Marlyn’s attention to detail and incredible talent made all the difference; I wish everyone could have a Marlyn on their big day.

The English Manor is, without a doubt, the best place to celebrate your wedding. Our out-of-town guests especially loved the “night cap” station with pork rolls to take home—a perfect New Jersey touch to end the night.

Beyond Happy With our Wedding Experience Here

Our wedding at The English Manor was nothing short of spectacular! From start to finish, the experience was seamless, and we couldn’t have asked for a more perfect day.

The team at The English Manor was incredibly professional and attentive to every detail, specifically our planner Marlyn . From our initial consultation to the final farewell, they made sure our vision was brought to life. We were fully able to focus on enjoying the day without worrying about logistics. Everything was beautifully coordinated, from the stunning décor to the delicious catering. Everyone is still raving about the food!

The venue itself is breathtaking, with both indoor and outdoor spaces that provided the perfect backdrop for our ceremony and reception.

What truly sets [Venue Name] apart is the staff. They went above and beyond to ensure that every aspect of our wedding was flawless. The coordination was impeccable, and they were always available to answer questions or address any concerns. Marlyn and Chrissy were always there, making sure we had food and drink at all points throughout the night.

The catering was phenomenal—our guests were treated to a cocktail hour that impressed and dinner that exceeded all expectations.

If you’re looking for a wedding venue that takes the stress out of planning and delivers an unforgettable experience, look no further than The English Manor. 10/10 experience, we can’t recommend them highly enough!

Executed to Perfection

Truly the charm of a New England home with modern professionalism. Guests still rave about the food and the venue itself and I can't think of a single moment that wasn't smoothly orchestrated or we weren't taken care of thanks to the whole staff and our maitre'd Troy.

Troy walked us through the day, setting a basic timeline and made sure every moment we wanted was there. He handled every aspect of that day from my arrival to when we picked up decorations. Troy answered all my questions and executed the things I said were important to me (pictures with family, making sure everyone was served cake, especially Grandma!) and even my added moment to dedicate my bouquet to my mom.

Wedding Wire asks for a flexibility rating - the English Manor is a wedding factory but it means they know what they're doing! I was grateful for direction to work with, they accommodated all my reasonable asks/change-ups and executed the whole day perfectly. If you're worried about curve balls, you're in good hands.

I recommended the English Manor to multiple recently engaged couples - was sad to hear it won't be available for most of 2025 due to renovations.

Our 11.12.23 Wedding!

We got married at The English Manor on November 12 and I cannot say enough amazing things about them! Every detail was impeccable. We had Marlyn as our day-of coordinator and she hit every mark and surpassed them beyond any expectations and dreams. At our finalization meeting, we added on an extra 30 minutes on site prior to the ceremony, which ensured we would get all the pictures with immediate family and our bridal party prior to the ceremony. Our wedding ran so smooth and without a blip. The food was fantastic, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming, the cake (provided from Tinton Falls Pastry Chef) was delicious, and the service provided was absolute perfection. We are blessed beyond measure to have found our perfect wedding venue and will be looking back on our day for many, many years to come! THANK YOU ENGLISH MANOR!

Incredible nye wedding: book here & use marlyn

We could not have been more happy with our experience. From the minute we booked we felt so cared for. The maitre’d that led us through our initial tour no longer works at English Manor, but that was no issue whatsoever. Marlyn picked up like she had been with us from the very beginning. EVERY email was answered with ease IN THE MOST TIMELY OF FASHIONs, and all concerns (really more so questions) were addressed.

Our details meeting was so thorough and I went into our day feeling completely confident that my vision would come to life. IT DID AND THEN SOME. Again, I truly believe this was all because of Marlyn and Jen. I am Type A, so this was something I was very concerned about. From the minute we set foot on the venue property the morning of our wedding until the minute we left we were absolutely blown away. Marlyn and Jen were just so above and beyond anything we could have ever imagined. I would’ve had Marlyn at my wedding as a guest because I love her so much. I went through my day stress free without any type of professional coordinator (which was shocking for me!). marlyn handled absolutely every single detail and issue that arose. (Again, none of which were her fault lol.)

Marlyn walked around with me, carried my bouquet, made sure my phone got to my good friend to snap some photos, made sure I had a drink in my hand every minute I wanted it, and just thought of absolutely everything. She even SCRUBBED the dirt off my dress from the rain so it was perfect.

I cannot recommend this stunning venue enough! Although, a team is only as good as their players. so, more importantly, i cannot recommend marlyn enough. Our guests are still raving about the venue, scenery, food, and atmosphere.

We are so happy with our choice! And ILY MARLYN, SO MUCH. 🤍🥹✨

Perfect Wedding Venue!

Our wedding was October 2022 and we could not be happier with our choice of venue. Over the last two weeks, we keep hearing comments from all of our guests about how incredible everything was: the food, the space, the gardens, the staff, everything. From the moment we walked into The English Manor two years ago, we were so impressed by the aesthetic beauty of the grounds, the professionalism of the staff, and the spectacular wedding packages. Their website is wonderfully clear and perfectly transparent, so we want to focus on some aspects of important to us here that could not be as easily found on those pages. Lisa (the owner) actually gave us our tour originally and we fell in love with her spunk and clear passion for her business. One particularly impressive distinction that she showed us was the state-of-the-art sound system that allowed music to be blasting on the dance floor while not overwhelming the entire space and therefore allowing guests to be talking at the tables without shouting (our guests loved this). Maddie in the office was around to happily answer any questions we had over the two-year process promptly and efficiently and worked with us to ensure that all of our needs were addressed. Wedding planning during an ever-changing pandemic was less than ideal and Maddie worked with us to keep us as calm as possible each step of the way. Along with Maddie, Marlyn (our fabulous maitre’d) worked with us to accommodate some specific dietary needs for some of our VIP guests to ensure everyone not only had food to eat but options at that throughout the night. While the food was terrific, we are beyond impressed by The English Manor’s policy of donating all leftover food to a local shelter at the end of the wedding. The passion for giving back to the community left a very important impression on us. One last note of appreciation is needed here on The English Manor’s inclusive nature. As a gay couple, we wanted to make sure that our wedding left us both feeling empowered and celebrated at all moments. Lisa, Maddie, Marlyn, and the rest of the staff actively did this and then some. Our cocktail hour even featured a pumpkin with two grooms carved into it! Everything was perfect and we are so beyond impressed by everything here and grateful for the people who made it happen. Thank you all so much.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

The English Manor is a beautiful wedding venue set in beautiful gardens. The staff will go out of their way to make sure your wedding is wonderful.

Stephanie Jones Photography Stephanie Jones Photography Wedding Photographers

I have photographed weddings at many venues, however, The English Manor is BY FAR my favorite! They aren't a 'wedding factory'. They only do one wedding/event at a time. This way their whole staff caters to you and your guests. Your day is their ONLY priority. The grounds are beautiful as well. And as a photographer, what I appreciate most, is the ability to use the entire property for your photographs. Many other venues have pretty surroundings, however at these other venues, brides are limited to one area only, and not allowed to enter into other parts of the building and/or garden areas. Please call them today to discuss your day. I assure you, they will go above and beyond meeting your expectations.
