Absolutely phenomenal, I had a dream wedding at The GrayCliff. I can’t begin to describe how beautiful everything turned out to be. The service was excellent good food all my guests were complimenting on how they had such a wonderful time. Such an amazing venue with very professional , friendly staff.

The Gray Cliff provided such an amazing service, my maître d’ Catherine was above perfection!!’ They made sure my night was perfect

They make our wedding reception beautiful. From the planning, all the staff were a big help to us. The service was perfect. They kept reminding us what to do from the beginning until our big day. Our maitre d' ( Catherine) really does a great job 🥰 I highly recommend this venue to my friends and other people.

I got married on 10/23 and let me tell you planning a wedding during a global pandemic is hard as hell but Tony, and Cathy really went above and beyond for me. The ballroom has been recently renovated and is GORGEOUS we had the best time and the food was very good!

There are not enough words to explain how amazing the staff at The Graycliff are! Everyone from the people who helped us plan, to the maitre’d and the assistant maitre’d, as well as all the other staff on the day, are just outstanding. Our wedding was perfect, thanks in large part to them. Our friends and family can not stop raving about the service at The Graycliff, and we couldn’t agree with them more.

We had our wedding at The Graycliff on June 1, 2019. We had a guest list of 200 people & our maitre d', John, was absolutely phenomenal. But let me rewind a bit, during our tour they answered all our questions, the owner sat down to work out pricing with us and that's the thing - he WORKED with our budget. The pricing we received for the service and quality we were provided was honestly a steal. They set up our cake through Palermo Bakery & we had such a great time at our cake tasting and most importantly our food tasting at The Graycliff. Everything they did for us was a memory that will last a lifetime, from the initial consultation, to food tasting to our very special day. John and his team went above and beyond to make sure our day was perfect and stress free. All my guests were impressed by the food, venue, drinks and service. I cannot thank The Graycliff and their team enough for making our special day truly memorable and a 5 Star day all around (even with the minor mishaps - which had nothing to do with them). I strongly recommend any and every bride & groom to consider The Graycliff for their big day or any event! They have a life long customer/friend with me and my husband. Thank you!! - The Hincapies

The venue was exactly what we were looking for. The staff was extremely helpful and professional. Everyone told me to expect something to go wrong on your wedding day because nothing is ever perfect but that was not what happened here. Not one thing went wrong the staff was always right there to help in any way they could. Also the food was exceptional. Definitely recommending this venue to all my friends.

The best please to celebrate our wedding

There are not enough positive words for the experience we had with the Graycliff! I’ll start from the beginning. My husband and I visited 22 wedding venues in the tri-state area and nothing even came close to what we felt at the Graycliff. Our first visit, we received a tour and met with Michelle - who is the sweetest person ever to deal with when it came to plan our wedding! She broke down the pricing for us, it was very reasonable compared to some of the other venues we saw. Working with Michelle made the entire experience fun. I am Russian, and my husband is half Italian, so we were looking for a venue that would accommodate our cultures - especially one that would provide TONS of food. We came to the tasting and our parents fell in love with it immediately and we booked that same day. Tony the owner was great to work with as well, they truly cared about making me feel like I got everything I wanted. They were able to swap out some menu options to fit exactly what we wanted, and they were even able to incorporate some of our Russian type foods. During the last visit, we met with Michelle and dropped off everything we had for the wedding day (favors, seating cards, etc.) I had specific instructions and Michelle made each one happen without hesitation!

Day of wedding: We called from the limo to give them ETA as we were travelling from our ceremony in CT and timing wasn’t exact. Our limo was escorted to the side of building directly to the bridal suite, so no one would know the bride/groom had arrived. The bridal room was filled with food and the maître d was constantly around to make sure we had everything and to get us drinks. During the cocktail hour we went to take pictures, all the attendants escorting us were communicating via ear pieces to make sure it was a clear path to the photo location, that no one was there, and bride wouldn’t be bombarded with guests. It was all so discreet and smooth - as if they were trained government operatives! After pictures, we were escorted back and got ready for the reception, we didn’t have time to join our guests during the cocktail hour as bustling my dress took too long but from our video we just received, the cocktail hour was INSANE. (Best part was suckling pig that we got to take home leftovers of at the end of the night.) The amount of food was ridiculous, and everything was perfectly decorated. It also wasn’t just filler decorated food, there were truly tons of DELICIOUS food options for every kind of taste. Afterwards, we heard from multiple guests that they thought cocktail hour was the reception food given how much of us and how delicious it was! The pianist that the venue provided was the perfect touch as well. We had bought all the additional food options they offered, and they were honestly worth every penny. Graycliff also included the cake, and that additional expense was so nice to save on - Palermo’s provided excellent cake that we got to choose!

Our reception went off without a hitch. Our food was brought out first. It was delicious but given all that was going on, we didn’t eat much of it, we wanted to make sure we said hello to all our guests. Drinks kept being brought to us, the servers were great as well. We had heard from multiple guests that the steaks were cooked to each guest’s perfect specifications, which rarely happens at big wedding. No one left our wedding hungry. Dessert was amazing, the fire show was quick but well worth it! We were too busy dancing to get dessert but also from the video, what we saw was amazing! Our guests had to be rolled out from all the food and desserts at the end of the night!

There was only 1 bar in the room but there were multiple bartenders and there was never ever a line for drinks - servers brought drinks to the tables as well. We had 120 guests, and no one was ever cramped. Michelle worked with me on table sizes to accommodate all my seating arrangement requests. The dance floor looked deceivingly small, but it was the perfect size for all our guests to dance on. The rectangular shape was also very neat and worked out great!

As the bride, you want to feel special on your wedding day and The Graycliff did not disappoint. They did not say no to a single of my requests: I was hot in my big dress- they immediately turned the AC cooler, I wanted the lights brighter, they immediately did that. Talk about feeling like queen for a day, the Graycliff is one of the biggest reasons my husband and I had the most perfect day! Michelle even had food packed for us when we were ready to leave, as well as all our things we brought (cake cutting/serving set, etc.) ready to be loaded on the bus back to the hotel. They accommodated the Russian traditions and had all the things we requested ready so that everything went smoothly. My parents are very old school Russian and they were very impressed that a non-Russian venue was able to accommodate our Russian traditions.

Special note on Ultimate Entertainment: The chandelier in the Forum room was what sold us on that room. My husband and I kept going back and forth on whether to hire Ultimate Entertainment to do the pre-installed uplighting in the room/chandelier. In the end, we did not hire them for any kind of additional lighting in the room and honestly, our room looked beautiful without it. The flowers and napkin colors provided just the right amount of color, and the chandelier alone was plenty to make the room beautiful. I also appreciate that neither Michelle nor anyone at the Graycliff made us feel obligated to go with Ultimate for anything, especially the lighting. (We did meet with them and they were very nice, just wasn’t what we were looking for in terms of photography, & DJ.) If you are on the fence about Ultimate for uplighting, just know The Graycliff’s rooms look beautiful As Is!

We cannot thank everyone enough at The Graycliff for the most perfect wedding we had! The whole day went by too fast and I did not want it to end. If I had to redo it, I would 100000% pick the Graycliff again. I wish we lived closer, so we could have more events there! Big thank you to Michelle, Tony and the entire wonderful staff and cooks at The Graycliff! - Julia & Matt

You would be foolish to go anywhere else for your wedding reception !!!
