Madison Hotel Conservatory Stunned Our Guests and Our Day was Perfect Thanks to their Staff

We hosted our wedding reception at the Madison Hotel in the Conservatory, and it was a raging success! The calm and friendly demeanors of the catering coordinators and staff clearly reflected that they are part of running a very well-oiled wedding venue machine! Joe, Carolina, and the staff were all very in control and made us and our guests feel comfortable. The cocktail hour was lovely and absolutely overflowing with excellent food. All our guests raved about it! The fantastically beautiful Conservatory venue was curated and arranged perfectly. All in all, the Madison Hotel catering staff were gracious hosts and made the entire wedding reception planning process easy. We had a spectacularly dazzling and fun wedding!

Amazing Experience!

15/10 Tim was amazing at helping us with everything we needed. He was easy to work with and easy to contact. He made every effort to assist where he could, and to do so financially as well. We negotiated and Tim was very supportive and never made us feel uncomfortable! The food was great, the space was fantastic, as far as all of that goes, absolutely ZERO complaints. My guests had a blast and couldn't get over the beauty and fun of the venue!

Wonderful venue!

The Madison Hotel was the best venue. The conservatory is perhaps the most stunning room I've ever seen. It took everyone's breath away. The ballroom is a great size and really well laid out with the dance floor in the center. And a huge plus is all of the picturesque locations for wedding photos and portraits: the beautiful exterior, the oak panelled bar, the refurbished dining train cars! Plus, the convenience of having everything for the wedding weekend take place under one roof cannot be understated. We had our rehearsal dinner in the Garden Room, and our after party in GK's Red Dog Tavern, and our farewell brunch in the hotel lobby at continental breakfast. It could not be more seamless. Not only was it easy for us to have everything in one place, but our guests were so appreciative of how easy it was to be able to stay on site. The train ride from Penn Station could not be any easier either, especially for those from the city who were able to travel there and back in one day. Just a super convenient location all around! We had a great time working with Kellen Wittrien and TIm McHale in the lead up, and Joe Zimmerman as our Maitre D' on the day of. We had A LOT of changes to the cocktail hour passed hor d'oeuvres and Tim was incredibly willing to work with us, accommodating all of our requests! Joe also made sure we were well fed on the night of our wedding, bringing us cocktail hour food and packing our dinners to eat later that night. Alexa Verderame was also very helpful with the Room Block set up.

The Madison Hotel is a true gem!

Trying to find a venue that allowed us to have an wedding that was a fusion of both cultures (American and Indian) was a massive challenge, and after looking at many venues and after 2 months we found the Madison Hotel and it felt like the right space, but a voice in our heads kept questions weather this was too good to be true. As the months rolled by and we continued to work with the Tim and the rest of the staff at the Madison hotel, we realized we were working with some of the nicest people we have ever met and their restless pursuit in ensuring our big day was special was nothing sort of inspiring. They were extremely attentive and cared for ever single detail and partnered with us in every single aspect. Weddings can be very stressful and thanks to the entire staff at the Madison Hotel, the venue and the food was something we did not have to worry about.

Coming to the venue, the Conservatory is one of the most beautiful ceremony spaces we came across, the layout of the conservatory where we had the wedding followed by the cocktail hour in the Victorian room and the reception in the ballroom are very conveniently located next to each other. The adjoining restaurants Rod’s steak house and the Red Dog Tavern make for a fantastic after party location and our guests absolutely loved it. Lastly, we had a requirement of an event space with an adjoining hotel as we had a lot of guests from out of town and the rooms at the Madison hotel was nothing short of spectacular.

The food at the cocktail hour and reception were cooked to perfection and the service was on point and ensure everyone got their food on time. The steaks and chicken were excellent but the desserts stole the thunder. The cheesecake spread was out of this world, we had assumed we were getting the plain cheese cakes but we ended up getting 4 different kinds of cheesecake and each better than the other.

We cannot believe we were so lucky to find this gem and everyone at the Madison hotel made our wedding very special.

A Perfect Night

It was such a smooth experience working with Tim and the staff at The Madison Hotel! Tim was dedicated to help us with our questions throughout the process and we really appreciated having him there to communicate with leading up to our wedding. There was a slight miscommunication regarding food tastings which we were at first nervous about but everything turned out amazing and we got got compliments all night about how great all the food was. The cake was great too, we went to Calandras for our complimentary tasting and it was so smooth and easy, and also included in the one price for the wedding which was nice. The whole experience was easy going, they know what they are doing at The Madison all you need to do is sit back and tell them what you want out of their selection of choices, perfect for a laid back couple who doesn’t want to think of every single detail on their own, awesome awesome experience. It was the most beautiful wedding we could have asked for.

The Conservatory is a one-of-a-kind NJ Venue! Dreamy and magical!

I chose The Conservatory at The Madison Hotel as the venue for my bridal shower in May 2022. This venue was one that I had on my list for a very, very long time (even before getting engaged!) so they were one of the first calls I made once I knew my date.

|| The Conservatory is a dreamy, stunning, one-of-a-kind venue in New Jersey. I had the vision for a garden tea party themed bridal shower, and The Conservatory was the perfect backdrop for this event. As soon as you walk through the doors, it feels like you’ve been transported into a scene from a movie - the sunlight, plentiful seasonal flower arrangements (all of which are included as part of the decor throughout the year), classic chandeliers, and tasteful decor make for a very elegant event.

|| We were able to work with the event staff (Amy was lovely!) to customize the floorplan, table arrangements, and other small details. We wanted a completely vegetarian menu and they were able to accommodate that happily. We also wanted to set up a desserts table with a tiered cake, and they were open to us bringing in our own desserts. We were able to go in ahead of time to decorate, and got enough time to break down afterwards as well.

|| The staff at The Madison Hotel is lovely - they made sure the food was refreshed often, coffee/tea was always flowing, and our guests had only kind things to say about all of them. The food was delicious!

|| In addition to showers, The Conservatory would also of course be a lovely venue for a dreamy ceremony and/or reception (the hotel has additional ballrooms that could work for a larger reception as well). Given how gorgeous the surroundings are, you’d only need minimal decor to bring the whole event together.

|| One tip - given how popular this venue is, they book up really quickly for showers , especially during peak months (April-June I believe), so make sure you reserve your date WELL in advance. I reached out around October for a May weekend lunch time slot, and there were already only a few options available.

|| The Conservatory at The Madison Hotel is a gem of a venue in New Jersey, and I’m so grateful to have gotten the chance to host an event there!

Exceptional

My reception was held in the conservatory space of the hotel and it was absolutely stunning. The space needed very little decore because the flowers and greenery are already there. I simply created my center pieces. Charles, the catering manager, helped us with the planning process and allowed us to make a number of menu customizations included an added meat to the carving station, another dessert station, and an additional passes plate during cocktail hour. Our Matre’ D, Joe, was also excellent day of and worked with my day of coordinator to ensure our DIY things were set up and broken down. He also had cocktail hour food brought up to our suite which allowed my husband and I to enjoy the food privately. He was friendly and so accommodating. With the wedding package we also received a free one-night stay for the night of our wedding as well as an upcoming free stay for our one-year anniversary.

The food was also incredible! Honestly I cannot say enough good things about this venue. We even had our rehearsal dinner at there attached restaurant and loved it. The price I’m adding to the review included all our guests, vendors, and menu additions.

Exceeded Expectations

We knew we wanted to get married at the Madison Hotel from the first time we stepped into their Conservatory as guests. It's a beautiful venue, and having everything on-location is so convenient. When we finally had our own wedding there this past summer, it exceeded our expectations, thanks in large part to the people we worked with. We communicated primarily with Tim throughout the planning process, and he was so patient and responsive to our many questions and requests, especially during renovations. He helped us organize a rehearsal, an after party, and a morning after breakfast, in addition to our ceremony and reception at the venue. Everyone he put us in contact with, from hotel staff for our room block to Red Dog Tavern for our after party, were equally helpful and professional. Our assigned maitre d was Charles, who made sure we had absolutely everything we needed for the wedding, from walking us through a rehearsal, to setting/cleaning up decor and making sure we always had food and drinks. Everyone at the Madison Hotel truly is a wedding expert, and we were so thankful for how easy they made things, enabling us to have the most memorable time ever.

Beautiful Venue & Wonderful Staff

We had our wedding reception and morning after brunch at The Madison Hotel. We knew from the start that this would be our wedding venue. I found the hotel through google and we booked a tour for the following week. We had visited several other venues and my husband did not like any of them. The second we stepped into the hotel that all changed. From the beautiful Victorian design to the breathtaking all glass conservatory, we fell in love with the venue. It was the first venue my husband said he actually liked. We worked with Amy for most of the planning. Amy was easy to work with and responded quickly (she does work I think Thursday-Monday’s so if you email her during her days off she does have on out of office auto response, but she gets back to you the day she’s back). She was able to guide us through the planning process and answer all my questions along the way. On wedding day my maitre’D was Kellen. Kellen was equally amazing to work with! She worked with my coordinator to make sure everything went smooth. The reception was beautiful and ran so smoothly. Kellen even made sure I got a taste of everything at cocktail hour by setting up my own private table for my husband and I to have a moment of peace to eat! All my guests highly praised the staff. They kept saying how attentive everyone was from the maitre’d to the bar staff to the waiters. All the staff were amazing and you could tell they knew exactly what to do and have perfect timing. The morning after brunch was fantastic as well! All the food was delicious for both the reception and the brunch. My guests keep saying how great everything was. I highly recommend having your reception at The Madison (and do the morning after brunch!).

Beautiful Conservatory!

The Conservatory at the Madison Hotel was our dream venue, and everything about it was perfect for our wedding day. We had our ceremony and reception in the conservatory and the victorian suite for our cocktail hour (especially grateful the Madison Hotel offered us this change last minute when the room became available!). We worked with Tim MacHale during the planning phase, and he was always responsive and accommodating. We also loved that they updated their dog policy, so our dog could be part of our wedding day! Our Maitre' D for our wedding day was Joe Zimmerman, and he was very kind and attentive, making sure we had time to eat and got us water or drinks. We didn't have to worry about a thing! Joe went above and beyond to ensure that all our items were set up where we needed them (welcome bags, signature drink signs, guest book frame, flip flops for the reception, etc.) and moved everything up to our suite at the end of the night.

The entire staff is also incredible and kind! During the day, they brought us extra full length mirrors and mini fridges when we needed them in our get-ready rooms. They turned around the rooms impressively fast, and we had many compliments on the food too. The only drawback was that due to renovations at the hotel during the wedding, there were limited bathrooms available. Besides that, we all had an amazing time, and so many guests said it was one of the most beautiful weddings they've been to!
