The Royal Manor

We recently had our wedding at The Royal Manor in Garfield, and it was absolutely incredible from start to finish. The staff went above and beyond to make our day feel seamless and stress-free. From the moment we toured the venue, we could tell they truly cared about every detail. Our coordinator was attentive, organized, and always quick to respond to any questions we had leading up to the big day.

The venue itself is stunning elegant chandeliers, beautiful ballroom lighting, and plenty of great spots for photos both indoors and outside. Our guests couldn’t stop talking about how beautiful everything looked and how amazing the food was. The cocktail hour and dinner exceeded our expectations, everything was fresh, flavorful, and plentiful.

On the day of our wedding, the staff was incredibly professional and kind. They made sure we always had a drink or bite to eat in hand and checked in regularly to make sure we were comfortable. It truly felt like they cared about us as a couple and wanted our day to be perfect.

If you’re looking for a venue that combines elegance, great food, and top-notch service, The Royal Manor is the place. We’re so grateful to their entire team for helping us create the best day of our lives we couldn’t have asked for anything more.

Our wedding day at The Royal Manor was absolutely perfect — everything we dreamed of and more! From the very beginning, Magda was incredible to work with! She was so responsive, organized, and truly made the entire planning process stress-free and enjoyable.

The day of the wedding, the staff went above and beyond. Our bridal attendant was unbelievably attentive — she was there for anything we needed before we even had to ask, from making sure we had food and drinks to helping with little details throughout the day. The maître d’ was fantastic as well, making sure everything ran smoothly and on schedule so we could simply relax and enjoy every moment.

The food was delicious and beautifully presented, the service was flawless, and the bartenders were amazing — friendly, fun, and on top of everything all night long. They kept everyone’s glasses full and brought such great energy to the celebration.

We can’t thank The Royal Manor and Magda enough for giving us the most incredible wedding day! Every detail was perfect, and we’ll treasure the memories forever!

This venue is absolutely stunning we couldn’t be happier with our choice, and our guests were in awe. If you’re looking for an outstanding wedding venue, The Royal Manor is one you will never regret choosing. The team is professional, detail-oriented, and incredibly helpful from the very first visit. They take the time to answer all your questions, truly listen to your vision, and bring it to life seamlessly.

On our wedding day, the service and support exceeded our expectations. The food was delicious, and the staff went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly. Carmel and Magda were amazing so knowledgeable, attentive, and always available when needed, ensuring every detail was perfect. Amanda was so supportive; as the bride, I felt completely cared for. She made sure I had everything I needed, guided smooth transitions throughout the day, and helped me stay relaxed so I could fully enjoy the celebration.

My husband and I are beyond grateful to each and every team member who contributed to making our wedding so memorable.

I was married at The Royal Manor on June 14, 2024. From the moment we went to venue when selecting where we would have our wedding, my husband and I fell in love with it. Carmel was absolutely amazing throughout the process. It was very easy decision for us. Leading up to our wedding day, the communication and assistance were exceptional. Magda, the general manager, was with us the night of our wedding and the service was top notch. Mario was our Maitre’d and Nicole was my Bridal Attendant. They were on their game all night. The entire staff was excellent. Our guests truly enjoyed themselves. The food and drinks were A+. It was a night to remember, and we are so glad we had our wedding there.

Being completely honest, I was SO skeptical about choosing this venue because there was a lack of reviews. However, you will not be disappointed. I highly recommend having your wedding at the Royal Manor. Our wedding was at the Royal Manor on 8/2 and it was a dream come true!! This was our 13th venue that we visited but we chose the Royal Manor because it is absolutely beautiful, the staff is ABOVE AND BEYOND caring and accommodating, the food is incredible, the bridal suites are fantastic, and the location is convenient.

The venue has the most beautiful outdoor patio. You feel like you are transported out of Garfield when you step outside. It is the perfect space for a cocktail hour extension or for your ceremony. Due to weather, we had to move our ceremony inside and the staff was ABOVE AND BEYOND flexible to help this go so smoothly. The two downstairs rooms are gorgeous. We had our ceremony in one of the rooms and our reception in the other. The rooms are breathtaking. We arrived early to use the bridal suites in the morning to get ready and they had breakfast ready for us!!

When reviewing the menu during our initial meeting, we couldn't believe all of the food options. The menu is absolutely unbelievable. At our wedding we were BLOWN AWAY by the delicious food. This cocktail hour was unforgettable! There was so much food. Our guests were crazy for the kebobs and the carving station. The pierogies and potato pancakes will be the best you've ever had! Ask for the chicken fingers in your package, you will not regret it. We are dreaming of the chicken fingers!!! Also, the drinks were outstanding, our bartenders were unbelievable!!!!

When we first toured, Carmel showed us around. She was so kind and welcoming. We loved her honesty and transparency about the Royal Manor, she was not pushy at all and answered soooo many questions that I had. She worked with us to meet our needs. Once we booked the Royal Manor she continued to be so helpful whenever I needed her, I can credit my perfect wedding to her dedication. The manager, Magda, is also phenomenal! She is so smart, patient, and dedicated to her job. You can tell that she has established a working environment where people are happy because everyone was just so terrific at the Royal Manor. The day of our wedding, the service was incredible. The waiters were so hard working and we felt like everyone was doing such a fantastic job setting up to make everything perfect. Nicole our bridal attendant was working so hard to make the day so special and Wojciech the maitre'd was wonderful coordinating with the DJ, my bridesmaids, the officiants, and the photographer to keep the day running smoothly.

My wife and I got married at the Royal Manor on 10/7/23. From the moment we stepped foot on the property, we were captivated by the surprising scenery and elegant charm that this venue offers.
The Royal Manor staff were beyond exceptional. Their attention to detail, professionalism, and warm hospitality ensured that our special day was perfect. Carmel was such a delight to work with. Her diligence and transparency during the initial planning made us feel so comfortable, and she was so quick to provide guidance on any areas that we needed help with. Magda was an absolute star on wedding night as she stayed on top of every little detail and made sure that we didn't have anything to worry about on our night.
The catering services were outstanding. The food was delicious and beautifully presented. Our guests still talk about the amazing cocktail hour and dinner menu.
The venue itself is an elegant masterpiece -- the lobby, the ballroom, the outdoor waterfall fountain, the garden... Everything about this place creates such a beautiful atmosphere of romance and serenity. We have countless stunning photos that we will treasure for a lifetime, thanks to The Royal Manor's captivating beauty.
We highly recommend this venue to any couple looking for a magical and unforgettable experience. Thank you, Royal Manor, for giving us the perfect start to our forever!

My now husband and I went venue shopping for our wedding a month after our engagement in November 2021 and it was very overwhelming to say the least. The day we went to see the Royal Manor for the first time, we had seen about 3 other places the same day. We were quite tired to say the least. It must have been fate because we were about an hour early for our appointment and instead of meeting with whoever we were supposed to, we had the pleasure of touring the venue with the amazing Carmel. She did not push us to book The Royal Manor, she simply showed us the entire property and talked to us on a deeper level, understanding how overwhelming this process was for us. We felt so comfortable talking to Carmel. She went as far as telling us that it didn’t matter where we chose for our wedding venue but that our wedding day would be the best day of our lives no matter what. We immediately fell in love with the Royal Manor, but more importantly we felt like this venue was the perfect place for us because Carmel was not trying to sell the venue to us like the rest of the venues we saw. We came back two weeks later with both of our parents and Carmel went above and beyond. We got to try the food at the venue and tour it while they were preparing for another wedding. Once we officially booked The Royal Manor, Carmel told us that we could contact her at any time with questions or anything that we need. I must admit, I definitely abused that in the one year of planning our wedding, but Carmel was always so attentive and responsive to me and all my needs, as was the General Manager, Magda! A week before our wedding we came to see the venue with our event decorator and when I found out Carmel was scheduled off the day of our wedding, I insisted that she must be there as she played such a significant role in us booking this venue. Magda of course made Carmel come into work that day! They have been so wonderful to work with. When I decided last minute that I wanted my signature cocktail drink to be a lychee martini, something they don’t normally serve- Magda made sure she was able to get this for me last minute. Our wedding day was a dream come true. The Royal Manor went above and beyond. We received so many compliments from all our family and friends on how beautiful the venue is and how wonderful not only the cocktail hour was but how great dinner was! My husband and I are both Indian and most Indian weddings are at the Venetian or the Westmount, so this was something different for all of our guests and they were truly impressed and wouldn’t stop talking about how grand our wedding was. Not to mention they have a huge beautiful bridal suite, where all 26 of our bridesmaids and groomsmen fit and we had food from our cocktail hour served to us there.
Thank you so much to the Royal Manor, Carmel, and Magda for help making our wedding day truly amazing!

I just got married here on September 2,2022 and could not be happier with this venue, the management, and service from start to finish. Truly exceeded our expectations. My husband and I had specific dietary requests (he is vegetarian and does not eat milk products either) and the venue was able to accommodate all our requests. They answered all questions prior to the wedding and ensured they understood our vision. Shout out to the incredible manager, Magda, for getting all the details! She was an absolute joy to work with.

The day of our wedding was so smooth and everything went perfect. Our bridal sweet had drinks already and our maitre’d made sure to bring our favorite ones up. All our food requests were brought up during cocktail hour so we could eat before mingling with our guests. Our maitre’d made sure we were happy and taken care of all night.

The food was DELICIOUS. I got texts all the following day complimenting the cocktail hour. Many people said it was the best wedding they’d been to. I was thrilled from start to finish! Thank you to everyone at the Royal manor for making this special day perfect!

This is probably going to be a lengthy review but after the great experience we recently had at the Royal Manor in Garfield, NJ. I felt that it was warranted as I wanted to include the details that made this event so fabulous.

On August 7, 2022, my daughter, Maggie, and her “former-fiance-now-husband” were married at the Royal Manor in Garfield, NJ. It has taken me more than a week to write this because I am still focusing on how wonderful the ceremony and reception were! All I want to do is look at the pictures and the videos of what I considered a perfect wedding. The staff at the Royal Manor could not have done more to make this lifetime event so great.

There are way too many people to thank since they were all remarkable but we cannot say enough about Carmel! Carmel basically managed the ceremony, reception, the food and even provided information on the local hotels which she visits personally before booking guests to ensure that the accommodations would meet the expectations of the guests.

Carmel was also instrumental with her assistance in selecting the items we wanted to include at our wedding. The “tasting” included delicious ceviche in champagne glasses, shrimp tempura and shrimp cocktail that were among the best I ever had (and I’m fussy), scallops, oysters, stuffed clams, lamb and a Mexican station, a Polish station, etc., etc.. And these were only a few of the items included during the cocktail hour. My daughter also had a margarita bar outside on the patio and a beautiful ice luge for the vodka. To top things off, one of the first things guests encountered upon entering the cocktail hour was a very nice gentleman who treated everyone to a show of making homemade mozzarella. It was fabulous!

Of course, I need to thank Kelly who was my daughter’s bridal attendant. Kelly was constantly available to fulfill last-minute requests and make sure everyone in the bridal suite was taken care of. Kelly and Magda, one of the managers, were bringing in pitchers of soda, water, assorted wines and lots of great ‘hors d’oeuvres to snack on while we all prepared for the ceremony. I never realized how important a bridal suite was but since we were in it for several hours, we all enjoyed the comfort of the cushioned furniture and of course everyone in the bridal party loved all of the mirrors. There was also a private bathroom and another large room with circular tables so anyone who needed to escape the craziness could do so and calm their nerves in peace and quiet.

We would also like to compliment the maitre d’hotel, Tek, who oversaw the various staff members who were working the venue that evening. Everything was so extremely well organized and I loved that even after the cocktail hour waiters were still coming into the reception hall where everyone was getting seated for dinner. I loved this because I was able to snag a couple of shrimp tempura appetizers that were incredible.

I cannot recommend this venue highly enough. The ballroom is huge (seats 600) and there is also another very large room where cocktail hour is held. Off of the cocktail hour room is a very nice outdoor patio with a bar. It is large enough so that anyone who wants to have the ceremonly outside can do so and it is a beautiful patio with a waterfall and lovely flowers.

Thank you, everyone, at the Royal Manor for making this such a spectacular event! Three or four days after the ceremony we were still getting texts from people who complimented the food, the staff, and the overall logistics of the Royal Manor. I am so glad that my daughter and son-in-law chose this venue—and believe me, they checked out several before booking. I can’t think of a better place to hold a wedding. The staff at the Royal Manor truly did a magnificent job. Thank you.
