We had a small, beautiful wedding this fall at Lulu’s. Ariel helped us through every step of the preparation process, and was there to manage everything at the wedding. She was beyond diligent and attentive in responding to our every question and need. The ceremony and reception were both lovely, and guests were all very happy with the service, the food, and the wedding cake. The hotel overall is a great venue, and all our guests were excited to be there. Our hotel room was also beautiful with a spectacular view. We had a wonderful experience.

We held our ceremony and reception at Lulu's at the W. The space was recently acquired by the W as its own event space.

It was a great space (both indoor area and outdoor patio) that has the most amazing view of the skyline! I liked that the space had built-in décor (to the tune of five giant chandeliers, built in up-lighting with customizable color options, string lights, fireplace) that are all available at no additional charge. While we only had a few guests, the space could certainly accommodate a larger group, as it offers two bars and its own set of (numerous) private bathrooms.

We had 11 total guests (including ourselves) and had to literally purchase every plus-up option available in order to reach the room minimum for Thursday night. This meant that we got to try pretty much everything on the menu! The food was just delicious- and cooked perfectly!

The W offers a really solid wedding package (priced per person) that includes a cake (Carlo's or Palermo's) and even a wedding suite for the night of the wedding!

We felt like the staff the night of the wedding was very attentive. Chris was the biggest help! I set up the wedding the morning of, and he was constantly checking in on me to be sure I ate, had something to drink, and just had a moment to stop, laugh, and enjoy my day. Both he and Rosie were on service for us that evening- and were always there when we needed them!

Anya was our bartender, and she was also fantastic. She would always seem to appear with a drink in hand whenever anyone needed it! She even brought drinks to the table when we were seated for dinner.

Admittedly, I am not the easiest person to work with, as event planning is part of my business- and I handled my wedding in the same manner I handle all of my clients' events (buttoned up with attention to detail). This meant occasionally pestering the W's staff with ultra-picky questions. Hannah was extremely patient with me, and was very helpful throughout the process.

We love this hotel and stay there frequently even though we live in the area. My husband proposed in this hotel. It was almost a foregone conclusion that we would marry in this hotel. Its a very popular hotel for weddings because its beautiful, convenient, reasonably priced, completely full service, close to EWR and one stop on the train from NYC. The view of New York City must be seen to be believed, certainly better than almost any view from within the city.

Janell was our event planner and she was fantastic. She would respond promptly to our emails and phone calls at most any hour of the day or night. She was very organized and helped us deal with all of the rooms including some really pesky last minute (literally) changes. She helped us with some of the printing and she let us ship packages to her direct from Etsy or wherever.

Her in-depth knowledge though of how to make the W work efficiently though was where she really came into her own. She knew how to time everything so the toasts and the musical breaks and the cake cutting and the food ordering and the times to move people into the ceremony and then into the reception and how long the florists would need to transfer the flowers and everything was where her expertise really shone through. She worked with our incredibly complex spreadsheets and our ever changing seating plans. She knew all the vendors and their relationships were smooth and respectful. While the festivities were going on she decorated our room with balloons and pictures from our engagement photos.

Also of mention were the excellent servers especially Monique who is a consummate professional in every way. She was so attentive and so sweet and caring and always checking up on us and ensuring everything was going as planned. We really would've rather had her in the ceremony to hold our hands and tell us everything was going to work out fine there too.

We love this hotel in general but for our wedding it was perfect.
