About this venue

The Sapphire Grand is an all-inclusive wedding venue located in Deptford, New Jersey. Owing to the many event spaces available here, it offers a truly splendid place to host a wedding. At this breath-taking lakeside venue, couples can throw their ceremony and reception, meaning there is no need to travel elsewhere after they have said ‘I do’.

Facilities and Capacity

For the moment when you and your significant other say your vows, exchange rings, and become officially married, a variety of spaces are available. For those planning to get married between April and November, the Terrace Garden would be a suitable choice. A covered space, it also benefits from views of the nearby patio and beautiful lake. Also between April and November, the wedding party can gather in the Sunset Garden to share in the special moment as the couple gets married. Also a tented area, it is more than suitable for exchanging vows and for photo opportunities. When the weather is not cooperating, the couple and their nearest and dearest can enjoy the ceremony indoors. Arranged and decorated in the style of a chapel, it becomes a fitting space for such an important moment. Once the pair have become official newlyweds, the reception can begin in earnest.

The party can gather in the wine cellar as they mingle while indulging in some wine-tasting. Guests can also make their way to the Terrace Room where they can sit and dine. Up to 150 people can be accommodated here as they enjoy views of the nearby lake. A ballroom is also available on site - here, as many as 250 guests can come together for a memorable event. Elsewhere, a number of banquet rooms provide space for a collective 450 guests, making them suitable for couples planning grandiose affairs. For those who want to prepare and get dressed at Auletto Caterers, get-ready rooms can be availed of.

Absolutely amazing- highly recommend

I would highly recommend Aulettos for a wedding venue. The location is beautiful and the staff are so amazing. I really enjoyed working with Jim and the team took all the stress out of wedding planning. Not to mention, the food was amazing my guests could not stop talking about the food!!

Look No Further

If you are looking for the perfect venue for the wedding of your dreams,look no further. From the moment that we arrived for our appointment,we knew that we made choice. Jim and his staff were attentive,professional and made us feel welcome. I can honestly say that they made the entire process stress free and we had a beautiful,classy,epic wedding,that our guest are still raving about. Every detail was perfectly executed. The beautiful ceremony under the tent with the lake,the bridge,meticulously kept colorful gardens, the fountains that light up at night and change colors,the waterfall and bamboo along with the gorgeous peacocks on the property were the perfect backdrop for a fairytale wedding. Our guest absolutely loved the cocktail hour in the wine cellar with different wines from around the world, complete with delicious horderves. Followed by the epic reception that took place in the gorgeous,spacious ballrooms that was beautifully decorated like something from a magazine. The food was delicious,the staff was phenomenal,I didn't have to lift a finger the entire night. I know that I am going to miss someone's name so I am going to just say thank you to Jim once again and everyone else who worked to make our, Dream Wedding Celebration possible!!!❤️

Everything we could have imagined

Our wedding at Aulettos was everything we could have imagined and more. We wanted a low key, smaller, and stress free wedding with quality food and good alcohol. Aulettos did all that and more. From working with us to the payment schedule, alcohol choices, autumn specials, and the actual help from the staff on the day of, it was literally the perfect day. I did NOT want a gaudy, flashy, ballroom wedding with over-the-top lights and gadgets. I wanted my wedding day to be about my husband and I’s love and celebrating that and that is exactly what Jim and his family gave us at Aulettos. I can not say one bad thing. Every single one of our guests told us it was the best wedding they’ve ever been too. They treated us like family from day one. They even gave me a literal boat of the sauce with my steak for dinner because they remembered I loved it so much from the tasting. I wish I could give them 100 stars. I will be forever grateful.

Perfect Location

When searching for a venue for our intimate wedding, we wanted a place that had beautiful scenery, great food, attentive staff, and the ability to have the ceremony and reception in one place. Auletto’s ended up checking off all those boxes. From the beginning, Jim and Jamie Auletto were a joy to work with. Each meeting was productive and professional. They answered all our questions, explained the process, and reassured us that our day would be amazing; and it was! Our day of staff, especially Barb and Jamie, were just the best. Anything we needed was done, including holding and umbrella over my head in attempts to keep me dry. As for the food…delicious. So many of our guests have commented on not only the variety of items, but just how good everything was. Even our guests with dietary restrictions were pleasantly surprised with their options and ability to customize to their needs.
We are so very grateful to Jim and Jamie and all of Auletto’s staff for making our day, despite the rain, just perfect!

Auletto's exceeded our already high expectations

My husband and I got engaged in 2019 and started shopping around for vendors around the beginning of 2020. We booked Aulettos in February 2020, as you know that means we had to work around the pandemic. As soon as we left the venue after meeting with Jim we knew this was the place. The outside and garden areas have so much natural beauty, and we were so excited to get pictures under the large cherry blossom tree. We were torn between a traditional venue and a winery and the cocktail hour in the wine cellar was very much on point with what we were looking for. Aulettos also had a smaller minimum than other venues we toured which was great because my husband and I don't have the largest families. I did a bunch of research and read tons of reviews and realized this was the place.

Fast forward to December 2020 and we were still in the place in NJ where no dancing was allowed and we decided to move our wedding to April 30th, 2022 instead. We wanted the party of our dreams and that's exactly what we got! Jim and Jamie were very responsive and understanding of our change in date and were there to answer any and all questions. When other brides were stressing about if their venues were going to be weird about changing dates or anything, I wasn't worried as we knew we were in good hands with them You can tell Jim is very passionate about weddings and he was so pleasant to work with!

We had our wedding this past April 30th and it was amazing! The weather was perfect and we just had the best time, it went too fast! We got tons of compliments on our venue, cocktail hour, dinner, and just wedding in general. We had so many people come up and give us compliments throughout the night. The cocktail hour seemed like it was a huge hit with our guests. We loved the idea of the outdoor area as well as the wine cellar for guests to mingle. We did the seated dinner and dessert cart and that was a hit as well as the cheesesteak send off. I just want to mention the one attendant Jamie, a woman with red hair and glasses was my angel during the night. She overheard me mentioning something with the cake wasn't right and came up to me and offered to fix it as well as helping my husband fix our neon sign that wasn't on the right setting. She was right there with a safety pin when the one sleeve of my dress came unhooked and just helped so many other times during the night. She was amazing and I just really wanted to mention how much we appreciated her help. The whole staff was very friendly and we appreciated our request for our signature drinks honoring our animals being accommodated. Everything went so smoothly I couldn't believe it.

Aulettos has been around for a long time and you can see why. They're friendly and passionate about what they do, I would choose them over and over again and definitely recommend them to other couples!

Thank you Aulettos!

We had our wedding at Auletto Caterers in September 2021 and it was such a fantastic experience! Jim, Jaime, and all of the Aulettos' staff were so lovely and easy to work with. They stuck with us through two covid postponements and made the planning process so smooth every time. We had the Terrace side of the property and the space and gardens were so beautiful and natural without feeling overly manicured and fake. The wedding day went so smoothly too--thanks to the organization of Pat and the rest of the staff we didn't have to worry about any logistics and got to just enjoy the day. The food was excellent, both for cocktail hour and the actual dinner. We'd wholeheartedly recommend Auletto Caterers to any couple hoping for a lovely and smooth wedding day!
