Our Champagne Brunch Wedding at The Madison Hotel

From start to finish, they were genuinely awesome. They picked up napkins for our guests, packed all of our décor for us at the end , and always had water ready when we needed it. They even held our wedding suits and décor, which took a huge amount of stress off our plate.

Every vendor they recommended was excellent, and the hotel itself was beautiful. The continental breakfast was a small thing, but it ended up being really helpful for our guests the next morning.

The maître d deserves special mention; kind, seamless, and incredibly professional. Everything felt handled without ever feeling rushed or impersonal.

There are honestly too many thoughtful details to list, but what stood out most was that they made us feel heard, valued, and respected throughout the entire process. That may sound obvious, but it’s rare. It meant everything to us.

Supportive Team, Perfect Wedding Day

We had an incredible experience at The Madison Hotel and their team from start to finish. Tim, thank you for being such a constant presence throughout the planning process. With a few different reps over the year, it meant so much to have your steady guidance and support - and that of your team - along the way. Planning a wedding is no small feat, and as a first-time bride, having a process that felt so easy and organized made all the difference.

On the day of the wedding, Jose ensured the entire night ran beyond smoothly. From the moment we met him, we felt completely supported on what can be one of the most overwhelming days of your life. The food was absolutely amazing - our guests were raving about it all night - and the service was timely, attentive, and seamless. We truly felt taken care of every step of the way and couldn’t be more grateful to this team for helping make our wedding day so special.

The Madison Hotel❤️

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We had our wedding at The Madison Hotel, using the Conservatory, and it was nothing short of magical. The space itself is absolutely beautiful, and the team went above and beyond to make our vision come to life. They even allowed me to set up my trees behind the sweetheart table, which made the room feel so personal and like Christmas 🎄❤️

Our Maitre D’, Jose, was truly exceptional — attentive, kind, and at my every beck and call throughout the entire night. He made sure everything ran smoothly and that we never had to worry about a thing.

The food selection was fantastic, with so many great options, and everything was delicious. They even added decorations to our cake for us and followed our instructions perfectly, which was such a thoughtful touch.

The entire experience felt elegant, seamless, and special. One tip: definitely pay for the uplighting — it completely transforms the space.

We couldn’t have imagined a more perfect place to celebrate our wedding. Highly recommend The Madison Hotel to any couple looking for a truly unforgettable venue.

Best day ever

We could not have chosen a more perfect venue for our wedding than The Madison Hotel. From start to finish, the entire experience was seamless, elegant, and genuinely joyful. The hotel itself is stunning—classic, romantic, and impeccably maintained—providing a beautiful backdrop for both our ceremony and reception.

The staff went above and beyond at every step. Every request was handled with care, and nothing ever felt overlooked or rushed.

The food was outstanding and received endless compliments from our guests. From cocktail hour to dessert, everything was delicious, beautifully presented, and perfectly timed. Our guests also loved the convenience and comfort of staying at the hotel, which made the entire weekend feel special and effortless.

The Madison Hotel truly knows how to do weddings right. It’s a venue that combines timeless charm with exceptional service, and we will forever be grateful for the unforgettable memories created there. We cannot recommend it highly enough to any couple looking for a truly magical wedding experience.

Stunning Reception in the Madison Hotel Conservatory

My wife and I had a wonderful reception at the Conservatory room at the Madison Hotel. Leading up to the event, they were very clear with communicating details and they were helpful with accommodating our requests. Our reception was beautiful and went smoothly, and our maitre’d and the staff were incredibly professional. We felt that the level of service and planning was well worth what we had paid. Would highly recommend the Madison Hotel to anyone looking for a venue for their wedding.

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.
