The location is not only ideal in the center of a pretty college town, but the staff under their GM Stacy Martin work tirelessly to ensure your event (our son's marriage) will go off flawlessly. From Tiffany in sales, to the front office managers like Ryan, Ali at night to Housekeeping, valet...they all work as a team to ensure your experience is first class. As a Marriott, Starwood, Hilton executive member I would not have thought to use this Benchmark Property as my first choice since I don't get points. But what we received was much more of value, amazing customer service to deliver a WOW experience. Kudos to GM Stacy Martin and her team for making this a memorable experience for us.

We could not have been more pleased with our wedding at The Heldrich in April. We had an absolutely incredible time and it had so much to do with the staff that worked on our event and the remarkable service they provided. When we had initially booked our date we were paired with one of the sales manager on staff, but she left about 6 months before our wedding and we were moved to working with Andrew Dale. Andrew was so responsive and patient through our entire planning process. With every question and concern he provided expertise and careful suggestions along the way. The rest of the catering staff took great care of us and our guests all night, and we've heard from many of our guests how wonderful the service was at the tables. The chef and kitchen staff are as talented and wonderful as the catering staff. The Heldrich's menu is so creative and we were so impressed when choosing our courses, at the tasting, and finally how the food turned out the night of our wedding. Our guests are still raving about the food. At the end of the night we moved into Christopher's bar for an afterparty where the bartenders were so nice and attentive. With complimentary suites and great room rates we were at the hotel from Friday to Sunday and every person on staff that we encountered was so kind and accommodating. Our guests especially loved the convenience of having their hotel room and wedding in the same place. We made the best decision in choosing to have our wedding at The Heldrich and would for sure recommend this fabulous venue to anyone looking to hold their event in the area.

We had our daughter's wedding at The Heldrich in May of 2014 and it was a great experience thanks to Nicole Calabria. All of our guests had very clean modern rooms and the staff was very helpful. The food they served was some of the best food we've ever had (and I've been to over 300+ weddings as a photographer). I would highly recommend this venue for any event.

I had my wedding reception at the Heldrich hotel on 5/26/13 and it was the best day ever!

I began planning my wedding about 10 months in advance - since it was a big Indian wedding and all of my events were on separate days (pre-party on thursday, wedding on saturday and reception on sunday) it was a bit difficult to find venues that were unique, accommodating, had good locations and of course, gorgeous! The Heldrich was the first venue that I choose and I couldn't have been happier with it.

I found the Heldrich from online searching/the wedding websites and contacted their catering manager, Andrew Dale. We came in to check out the space - the decor and ambiance of the heldrich sells itself - it's beautiful, clean and contemporary with tons of art all over, spacious (we had 400 people) and grand. Despite immediately deciding that it was right for me, Andrew still took the time to show us around and helped us in vision what our event could look like.

For reference:
Cocktail hour in Christopher's Restaurant
Reception in the ballroom
After party in the hotel lobby bar

Once we began planning - Andrew was nothing but helpful and communicative with me for the next 7 months until my event (I know - such little time!). I'm not from new jersey and don't know about the area so Andrew constantly helped me figure things out along the way. Aside from basic wedding planning needs - he helped me find a ceremony location for my wedding the day prior, gave me tons of vendor lists, and was really there for me throughout the process.

As soon as I checked in at the Heldrich the afternoon before my event, Andrew was in communication with me and tied up all my loose ends.

Come the actual party - everything was beautiful, service was smooth, and Andrew was around the whole night, followed my itinerary and made sure everything went perfectly.

I wanted to write more but ran out space so to wrap it up - I love The Heldrich Hotel!

We could not have picked a more perfect venue for what turned out to be the best day of our lives. Our wedding was flawless from beginning to end and that had a lot to do with The Heldrich, long before the day of the wedding. After visiting numerous catering halls, hotels and locations, we did not hesitate to book our wedding with The Heldrich. The hotel is beautiful and we knew it was going to be the perfect location for the modern chic look we were going for. Hotels that we looked at that were not nearly as gorgeous or exclusive as The Heldrich turned out to be more expensive. We met with Nicole Calabria at the Heldrich and immediately felt a connection. We felt comfortable with her and knew she would be the best person in helping us carry out our vision. Throughout the year, we met with Nicole several times to iron out details for the wedding. She was always attentive and ready to help with anything whether we met in person or spoke on the phone or through email. We genuinely felt Nicole cared how our day turned out and that became evident with the perfection of the day from the look of The Heldrich to the staff, food and atmosphere. The food at The Heldrich was delicious and nothing like what you would find in a boring catering hall type of wedding. The chef also executed my dream cake. It was absolutely more than I could have imagined. Our maitre' de and service staff was also amazing. There was never a moment I had to look for anything, I had a new drink before mine was empty, my guests never had to wait for assistance and we were always instructed as to what step of the night came next, without the staff being overly intrusive. We also had the pleasure and convenience of having an after party in the hotel's own Christopher's Bar, for the younger guests who wanted to keep the party going. It was the perfect day and my guests were happy that they could stay in one of the modern comfortable rooms after the wedding and after party, rather than having to worry about riding home late and far for some. I can honestly day if we have another grand event, we would happily book with the Heldrich again. In the meantime, we willl continue to frequent The Heldrich as guests in a beautiful hotel with an amazing bar and restaurant = )

We had our wedding reception at the Heldrich and loved everything about it! After staying at the Heldrich for Rutgers' Homecoming a few years ago, my boyfriend (at the time) and I fell in love. Having met at Rutgers, we knew a New Brunswick wedding would eventually be in our future! From the first time that I contacted the Heldrich about hosting our wedding, the service was great. Our maitre d, Andrew Dale, was absolutely amazing! He catered to every last request that I had and made me feel so special throughout the whole process. Cindy Moy, their group booking director, was kind, gracious and extremely helpful despite the fact that I called her for updated room block lists every other day. The hotel itself is gorgeous and very sheek, not only for New Brunswick, for anywhere in this area of NJ. The banquet staff was extremely professional and accomodating and the food was great. I've received so many compliments on how tasty and hot (difficult when serving 150+ people at a time) the food was. If you want a unique, classy reception venue with impeccable service, this is your place!

We had our ceremony and reception at The Heldrich in New Brunswick, NJ. Everything was perfect. From the moment I initially reached out to The Heldrich, their customer service was incredible! No matter how many questions I had, or crazy requests, they were so quick to respond in such a pleasant way. Our wedding day was perfect and better than I could have imagined! All of our guests enjoyed The Heldrich atmosphere and it's location, along with the delicious food and kind service. We truly felt like king and queen for the day. I would recommend The Heldrich to anyone planning their special day!

I cannot say enough about the Heldrich Hotel. I have provided decor for events there on many occasions and, not only is it a gorgeous venue, but the staff is wonderful and the food is amazing. I have never had anything less than a stellar experience there as a vendor. As for my couples, they often share their experiences with their venues throughout the year in which we work together and I have never heard anything but rave reviews!! From Tiffany and Carley in the sales office to Carlos, the maitre de and the front desk staff, they are all consummate professionals. I love that, at the Heldrich, a couple can have their ceremony and reception, book excellent accommodations and give their guests the option of amenities like the awesome spa and restaurant right on site! I highly recommend the Heldrich!
