W Hoboken

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 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.

We loved everything about our reception coordinator, Gina, head server Monique and all the W had to offer. Our setup was to die for, as was the food and attentive service. We were treated like royalty and the complimentary suite they gave us was nothing short of a dream. Get the cake through Palermo's (not Carlo's), which is included, and do the full candle wall! We also got embroidered bath robes, slippers, macaroons to die for, a tray of pastries and slices of cake, along with wine and beer, left in our suite at the end of the night. They also prepared 2 "to go" meals. I can't sing enough praises about this place and want to come re-visit for every anniversary.

We can't sing the praises of the W enough! We were so impressed by the use of two rooms (Great Room 1 and Lulu's) for the cocktail hour and reception, and that they provided us with a bridal lounge. They threw in many extras in our contract, like ivory table linens, tableware, table signs, and cake knife. Gina Villacres filled in for another venue coordinator who left abruptly and was the most responsive and professional person we worked with. She took care of everything and was a life saver on the days leading up to and including the event. Everything was simply fantastic and elegant without being stuffy. We also got personalized bathrobes and slippers in our bridal suite! Monique the head server treated us like royalty and made sure that our glasses were full as well as our plates. She made us "to go" plates of both entrees and sent those, along with a bottle of wine and several beers and cake, to our suite at the end of the night. We ate, drank, celebrated and slept like kings on our wedding day. Every year on our anniversary we will visit the W to have dinner and maybe even stay overnight. Thank you to Gina and Monique for everything! You gave us an incredible experience that we will remember forever.

Everyone at the W Hoboken was wonderful. They made us and our guests feel so welcome. I was genuinely touched by their care and thoughtfulness on our special day. It helped make an amazing day that much more amazing and memorable.

My husband and I got married at the W on August 11. It was my favorite venue from the beginning and I was set on getting married there since my first consultation. Meghan worked with us to put together the package that worked best for us. Our planner, Hannah was extremely helpful in helping us make the day perfect in the months leading up to it. On the big day, she was available to us all morning and checked in to make sure everything was going smoothly. We had our cocktail hour in Lulus which was the perfect setting! The indoor/outdoor space was set up perfectly. Our reception was just down the hall in the ballroom and it was beautiful!! Everyone raved about the food and the service for both the cocktail hour and the reception. There was no shortage of food and it was all delicious!! The W in Hoboken made our wedding day absolutely perfect!!

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.

My husband and I just had our wedding at the W Hotel. Words can't describe how accommodating and professional the staff were. They did an amazing job to make our wedding a dream come true. From the view to the hotel the venue/ cocktail hour and area etc. was perfect!!!!

Our wedding was absolutely wonderful at the W Hotel in Hoboken. First of all, we worked mainly with Christina and Monica and they were the best! They were super responsive, sweet, professional, organized and just all around awesome. We had both our ceremony and our reception at the W. What they do is split the room and prepare the tables on one side and then break it down after the ceremony. We had sufficient amount of time to take pictures before the breakdown of the ceremony stage. Cocktail hour at LuLu's (an extra fee and not included in the base price) was apparently wonderful (i was whisked away taking pictures with friends an family), everyone was so happy with the food (the seafood bar! the lamb chops, etc!), the view, the location. Everything is was awesome.
The reception went so smoothly. Everything turned out beautiful and the staff was VERY attentive without being visible, they were like ghosts. My husband and I were so happy with our server, Chris, he was so attentive, I had a full glass of wine the entire time! He suggested that we have both the choices for dinner so we could try everything and that was an awesome suggestion. The food, the food let me tell you about the food. It was amazing. Chef Julian is amazing! He worked with us and made everything to our liking. He even worked with us to convert a main dish into an app that was served during cocktail hour, they really did whatever we wanted. Dessert - you get both a cake and dessert included in the package, for the cake you get to choose between carlos (barf) and palermos, obviously we went with palermos. The desserts, we decided to go with the buffet of desserts which were amazing and they were happy to alter some of them to be more fallish (pumpkin, apple ). The bridal suite was perfect for my bridesmaids and I to get ready in. I need to state is that the room for the wedding is modern so you need to spend money on uplighting and flower

Upon entering the W Hoboken, my husband and I knew it was the perfect venue for our wedding- what truly sold us was the staff and the service that they exemplified from our very first meeting. Everyone at the W went above and beyond to make our wedding come to life. From Christina to Monica to Chef Julian and their teams, these individuals were the reason we had the most amazing time not only on our special day but throughout the whole planning process. Whenever we had questions or concerns, Monica and Christina were right there to walk us through everything. Chef Julian customized the menu to our liking and created dishes you would never expect to see at a wedding. Everything he created was delicious and flavorful and our guests are still raving about his food months later! The W Hoboken gave us the modern wedding we wanted with the personal service we needed. Words cannot express how grateful we are for everyone at the W Hoboken for making our wedding so special!
