Liberty House Restaurant and Events Reviews

My husband and I recently hosted our wedding at Liberty House this past October and it was an amazing experience! We worked with Casey Townsend and she played a key role in making our wedding so special and memorable.

All of our guests had a fantastic time and we received so many compliments on the service and the setting. The staff was warm and gracious throughout the event and made us all feel so welcomed. 

We had a very specific vision for the menu and service and Chef Nick worked with us to create a unique experience for our guests and then executed everything we had discussed seamlessly the night of. Everyone raved about the food both during cocktail hour and dinner, all of which was absolutely delicious! 

Both my husband and I both work in hospitality - I oversee events for a restaurant group in NYC and my husband was formerly a chef and is now a culinary director for a global company. We had very high hopes for the party of our lifetime and the team at Liberty House exceeded our expectations in every way.

Liberty House really is such a special place and we now know it was the perfect choice for our wedding!

My husband I got married at Liberty House on September 1. It was truly the most magical day and turned it so much better than anything we could have imagined. The staff there is incredible! Our event coordinator was Casey and she was so helpful, flexible and easy to work with from day one. We didn’t have a wedding planner but together we planned the most beautiful day.

So many of our friends and family have told us that our wedding was the most fun and beautiful wedding they had been to in years. But more importantly, Casey and Liberty House helped us mark the beginning of our journey in such a beautiful and special way. We are so so grateful and would recommend them to anyone.

Huge credit to Liberty House! My wife and I just had an amazing wedding here. Many thanks to all the staff of the night. They took care of us really really well

My husband and I got married here on June 30, 2023 and the whole experience was incredible. We worked with Casey and I couldn’t have asked for anyone better. She was honestly a selling point for me as I didn’t meet any other venue planner that matched her. The views are unbeatable and the whole day went so smoothly. I cannot recommend enough!!

My wife and I got married on May 19th, 2023 at Liberty House and had Casey as our event stylist. When you think about how you want wedding planning to go, who you'd want to work with, and how you want your day executed - that is exactly how everything went with Liberty House and Casey. They made everything so simple on us during the planning process - Casey was so on top of every little detail and ensured we had everything we needed for the perfect day. All of the staff on the wedding day, from the wait staff to the bartenders to the bridal assistant, were amazing to work with and were great to our guests. Do I even have to mention the views and pictures that come along with this venue as well? We both can not recommend Liberty House and working with Casey enough. With the kindest and most helpful staff and the best food and drinks we looks forward to also celebrating our anniversary here in the years to come.

My husband and I were married at Liberty House, Jersey City in April 2023. Liberty House was the first venue we toured and we knew immediately that this was where we wanted to get married. The views of the Manhattan skyline were spectacular and we loved the lower-level outdoor patio and cocktail room and the wrap around porch on the upstairs grand ballroom. We worked with Casey as our wedding coordinator throughout our planning process. Wedding planning can be a stressful experience; however, Casey alleviated a lot of that stress with her responsiveness, upbeat attitude, and helpful suggestions on all vendors and wedding day setup and breakdown. Additionally, prior to picking out your final wedding day menu, Liberty House hosts a food/wine/cocktail tasting where you can try each dinner option and various hors d’oeuvres and passed apps along with table wines and signature cocktails. This was a fun and tasty way to make our selections.

On the day of our wedding, Casey made certain every detail was to our liking and worked closely with our vendors to ensure our wedding was set up exactly how we envisioned. We had initially planned to have our first look in the garden, but mother nature was not on our side – fortunately Casey was. She even shuttled us in her own vehicle up to the old train station in Liberty State Park for what turned out to be the perfect backdrop, providing some of our favorite memories and photos from our big day. She went above and beyond to ensure our wedding ran smoothly, even after some last-minute change of plans due to the rain. My maître d (Jacqui) assisted me with my intricate dress bustle, made sure I ate before partaking in all the toasts, and saw to it that my husband and I were well taken care of all night. Our guests RAVED about our food, specifically the fresh mozzarella station at cocktail hour and the delicious short ribs during dinner. The level of service was unparalleled, and the entire staff made our guests feel welcome and taken care of throughout the festivities. Also, you and your guests would be hard-pressed to find a better backdrop for photos and selfies with the unobstructed city skyline visible through the floor-to-ceiling windows or the wraparound patio – this ballroom is truly a magical place to dance the night away. Thank you SO much to Casey and the entire Liberty House team for putting together and executing the wedding of our dreams – we can’t say enough great things about all the care and effort that went into our special day!

Book Liberty House for your wedding venue! Not only is it stunning, but a well-oiled machine. Vivian was our venue coordinator and was always responsive with emails leading up to the day. The tasting was so much fun for our family to attend, and we have to say, the food was absolutely delicious. The day of, we were treated like royalty. Jacquie, our bridal attendant, brought us food and drinks and made sure my dress was bustled. They set up our decor, but the space truly doesn’t need much! Whenever a guest had a question, it seemed like someone appeared out of thin air to help. Our guests still can’t stop talking about the cocktail hour, and about amazing Annette, the head bartender. We would pick Liberty House over and over again.

We do not know where to begin to express how AMAZING The Liberty House venue was for our wedding. From the moment we booked, we were thrilled with this beautiful venue, fine cuisine and all that the Liberty House property had to offer. Liberty House had great suggestions for vendors (JR Floral Designs and Emma Cleary Photography). Our Coordinator, Vivian Bifulco, was fantastic and guided us with her expertise! Vivian was hands-on with helping us select the menu (the “tasting” was incredible) as well as being flexible to details that we wanted to incorporate during the event to make sure that our wedding day was all that we dreamed off. We knew the venue provided views that are unbelievable. It rained on our wedding day but our planned garden ceremony was moved into the grand ballroom with confidence and ease. Our guests were blown away by the delicious food offerings, cocktails, and the unsurpassed table service that they received. The weather cleared after the ceremony and a spectacular view of Manhattan sparkled throughout the evening. Our wedding day could not have been more perfect!

I literally don't even know where to begin about our experience with Liberty House. YOU GUYS. GET MARRIED HERE. My new husband and I tied the knot here a few weeks ago, and there are not enough words that exist to explain how fabulous Liberty House is. We had been working with the literal queen of the universe and a woman I have grown to both adore and respect, Danielle, for the 13 months leading up to the big day. She was EXTREMELY responsive on any and all questions that we had and did everything in her power to help. She was not only knowledgeable about vendor recommendations but was honest and truly wanted to help. I cannot say enough about her expertise, energy and overall FUN -- she is one of my most favorite people on earth. Next, I had the most perfect bridal attendant in the world named Sara. Brides - this is the woman you want by your side on the day of. She was filled with little tricks and made sure that I never went without a drink or a snack. She never left my side and I literally cried at the end of the wedding because I didn't want to say goodbye to her. ASK DANIELLE IF YOU CAN HAVE SARA BE YOUR DAY OF ATTENDANT!!! Every single person who works at Liberty House is someone who I want to hang out with -- they make you feel so special and are complete experts at the wedding scene there. They have an answer for every single question and will bend over backwards to help. In addition to the team, I would be remiss if I didn't talk about the venue itself. The views of Manhattan are the BEST you can find as Liberty State Park and gorgeous greenery leads your eye to the skyline. Stunning -- even for this born and bred New Yorker. Our guests from near and far were absolutely blown away by the beauty of the venue itself as well as the views. The Grand Ballroom upstairs has a chic new floor, and the massive windows allow for a view from any seat up there. Ridic. Also - the food is absolutely AMAZING: a HUGE PERK that Liberty House is also a full restaurant. The cocktail hour food was delish and my guests told me that it was the best entrees they have ever had at a wedding (we went with the Short Rib and Halibut - YUM). I am running out of character counts but I am telling you - I looked at a ton of venues, I have been to a ton of weddings, and you absolutely cannot beat the service and the experience of Danielle, Sara and the entire Liberty House Staff. DO NOT WALK - RUN to book this venue for your special day -- you won't regret it. Danielle and Sara -- miss and love you so much!!! Thank you for making our day the best one ever.

We were originally supposed to get married at Liberty House in June 2020, but with Covid-19, we deferred until 2021 and Liberty House was very accommodating. In 2021 we decided to hold off for one more year so we could have a reception with friends and family at a more comfortable time. It was well worth the wait. Danielle was always available and get things moving or answer any question we had. The weeks getting closer to the event we were able to work with the venue to get all in order and on the day it was a blast! The staff working our party were really helpful getting last minute things done so we didn't have to worry. The ceremony area was perfect. The cocktail hour area downstairs had a ton of food and drinks at the ready, and the food was really good for all ages (although the kids probably loved the sliders and fries most!). The reception was in the main room upstairs and we loved the room with its wide open views of manhattan, and the wrap around terrace. Given the time of year and the warm weather a lot of people spent time out there enjoying the views and warmth. All of the food was amazing, the salads, the pastas, the meats were all really good - especially the lamb! Their choice of bakery for a cake was also a great selection - thank you Liberty House for picking Palermo's - their Cannoli cream and Lemon flavors in our cake were amazing. All in all, we were so happy we selected the venue to have our wedding at. Whether it was the food and drink, ALL of the staff, or the location, everything added up to a great day!

Our wedding was an absolute fairy tale. I cannot thank the team at Liberty House enough. We originally were supposed to get married in May of 2021 and made the very difficult decision to postpone to April of 2022. Danielle was EXTERMELY helpful and accommodating throughout all the changes and our needs/wants. We had our wedding in the Grand Ballroom and the room is absolutely gorgeous. We had about 200 people and a 10 piece band and it was plenty big enough. We were able to fit a 36 person bridal party table which was very important to us in place of a sweetheart table. The food....... INCREDIBLE. All of the guests have raved about the cocktail hour to us. We have been to several big family weddings in the past year and this cocktail hour was better than them all. We only added on the raw bar with the standard stations and it was plenty of food. Also, everyone who ordered the short ribs for dinner raved about it. The view of the city skyline is unmatched. We were very lucky and had a gorgeous sunny and 65 degree weather day and the pictures came out amazing. There are just so many photo opportunities at the venue and the park it was hard to find time to for them all. I cannot recommend this venue enough. Just perfect!!!

All I can say... BOOK THIS VENUE. We worked with Liberty House for two years after COVID caused us to push our wedding a full year from December of 2020 to December of 2021. Two days before our wedding this year (we had the wedding on 12/18/21) the Omicron variant wreaked havoc on NYC and New Jersey, and I was an absolute wreck considering it was too late to push the wedding again. Danielle, Reggie and the entire Liberty team did everything they could to calm down and ensured we would have the most magical evening. WE DID!

Our guests RAVED about the incredible food, drinks and service. They felt completely taken care of and with so many out of town guests who had never been to a wedding that close to NYC - they were completely in awe of the caliber of the staff and the beauty of the venue.

After pushing our wedding and talking about nothing but this wedding the last two years... it was everything we could have wished for. I'm not even that sad it's over, because I truly enjoyed every single second. Jackie made sure I ate (GET THE SHORT RIB!!!), drank and felt completely at ease - so I regret absolutely nothing. It was perfect.

My husband Kevin & I could not be more grateful that we chose Liberty House as our venue and therefore Danielle as our incredible coordinator. We feel like family and are so blessed. We can't wait to come back every year for our anniversary.

I mean what more can we say but WOW! From the minute we booked the Liberty House and told people, all they could say was "We can't wait to come to your wedding!" and many were they right! From Danielle helping us book it in February to our wedding reception in September we had nothing but a perfect experience. Danielle was always available to answer questions, give us her opinion based on her experience and even just talk about other things than the wedding planning. The tasting they provided was also top notch. The people who we worked with that night, Jackie, Virgnia, Annette and the other wait staff were so friendly and always on hand to help. Add all that with the city skyline as our backdrop, you seriously couldn't ask for a better place to hold your event. The scenery was beautiful but the people who are affiliated with the Liberty House made our night unforgettable! You will not be disappointed if you choose the Liberty House....we can't wait to go back for our 1 year anniversary dinner!

Liberty House was an easy choice - the venue itself is beautiful, the food is amazing and the staff is very attentive. We first booked pre-COVID and they made the entire process extremely easy, including helping us move our wedding date. Danielle helped us through it all and was great to work with! Our wedding day went so smoothly and all of our guests couldn’t stop telling us how much they loved Liberty House. A big thank you to Danielle and her staff for making our day so special!

I can not say enough wonderful things about Danielle Villa and the team at The Liberty House. They made our special day an absolute dream come true! If you are looking for a venue that will wow your guests and have them talking for months to come, this is the place! Danielle Villa was so helpful throughout the entire process. Having to reschedule the wedding once due to Covid, and then dealing with the uncertainty of almost having to postpone again just weeks leading up to the second date due to an unexpected health condition, Danielle Villa was so understanding and did everything she could to make our dreams come true! She was there for us through it all and reassured us that the day would be perfect, no matter when it happened. She definitely, without a doubt, delivered on this promise! After hearing the horror stories of so many friends and family members postponing their weddings at other venues, I must say that Danielle and The Liberty House were a blessing! Danielle was like our own wedding fairy godmother! I truly do not know how I could have gone through the stress of planning our fairytale wedding without Danielle’s help and support throughout the process. From the delicious food, to the breathtaking views, I could not believe the magical night that started our lives together. It was everything I ever imagined it could be and more. To all couples searching for the perfect venue, BOOK THIS PLACE! You will not regret it! My husband and I can not wait to return to this stunning restaurant that means so much to us in a few months to celebrate our one year anniversary, and then continue this special tradition reliving the best day of our lives every year to come! We can not recommend The Liberty House enough! Not only will your wedding day be perfection, but after the day has come and gone, you will look back and be so thankful that you booked your wedding at this breathtaking, fantastic venue, where the staff becomes family and goes above and beyond to create beautiful memories and a night you will never forget!

The Liberty House team was an absolute pleasure to work with, particularly Vivian Bifulco. From the moment we had our first meeting with her, to the very end of our wedding she was engaging, flexible, and made the entire experience enjoyable.
We had booked the Liberty House before the COVID pandemic and Vivian remained flexible and understanding the entire time, particularly as we approached our wedding day.
As for the event, she and the entire team were well organized and friendly with all of our guest. They anticipated our needs during the entire event and made our night truly magical. It has been a month since our wedding and our guest still talk about how beautiful the venue was, how friendly the staff were, and how good the food and drinks were!
There are several factors that make for a memorable wedding day but Vivian and the entire Liberty House team were by far one of the most impactful ones and my wife and I already want to host another event there!

We cannot say enough good things about Danielle and the entire staff at Liberty House! Danielle went above and beyond to help us have the most perfect wedding day. We were originally supposed to have our ceremony and reception at Liberty House in June 2020 but due to COVID we had to change our plans. After postponing everything to November 2020, Danielle helped us change our plans once again to a small last-minute ceremony in September 2020 and a reception later in 2021. Danielle helped us navigate a crazy and stressful situation all while remaining calm, thoughtful, and professional. She answered all of our many questions and worked hard to put us at ease. The wedding itself was simply perfect. Danielle helped me sneak in and hide when my husband and I arrived at the same time but didn't want to see each other until our first look. Throughout the ceremony and dinner, Danielle and the entire staff made us all feel safe and comfortable. To top it all off, the view of the Manhattan skyline was stunning and everyone agreed that the food was delicious. We’re so excited to go back to Liberty House for the reception in 2021 (Danielle, get ready to party with us). Don’t waste your time looking at other venues and go check out Liberty House!

We had the most amazing wedding ever thanks to the gorgeous liberty house. It’s the coolest most beautiful venue ever & Danielle was super supportive & helpful throughout the process. My bridal attendant Zoe was fabulous. The food, drinks & views were everything!!

Words cannot describe how perfect everything was on our wedding weekend! Danielle at Liberty House went ABOVE and beyond. Our original date was october 31st, but due to Covid we decided to move the date up and reduced our original number to a small intimate affair. She worked with us for the past month and a half as we scrambled to pull things together in such a short amount of time while making sure that all things were going to be corona friendly. WOW! All we want to do is throw another event there because they hands down know how what they are doing! The food was incredible and each and everyone who worked there was SO kind and helpful. THANK YOU LIBERTY HOUSE and Danielle for making our day beyond magical. Can’t wait to come back again! WE LOVE YOU - Maria & Matt

We got married at Liberty House last night and it was amazing. We had to postpone our original wedding from July due to COVID and Vivian and Danielle at Liberty House were amazing with helping us transfer our date and making sure to explain the COVID safety measures in place, etc. Vivian was very patient with me insisting the ceremony be outside despite the rainy day and everything turned out perfect. The food was excellent, and the service was amazing. Zoe was my bridal attendant and she was amazing too. Beautiful venue, beautiful views and amazing service. Can't wait to come back for future events :)

The best decision we ever could have made for our wedding day was booking The Liberty House. The moment my husband and I stepped into the venue we felt welcomed and immediately connected with the incredibly kind team that makes The Liberty House so magical.

We were lucky enough to work with the amazing Danielle Villa. We don't have the words to express how perfect Danielle was as our support system and partner in planning our special day. She was with us every step of the way, and made sure we were on top of every single detail. Danielle and the entire team were very responsive to every email or phone call, and are there to make you feel comfortable, supported and taken care of leading up to and on the wedding day.

The Liberty House offers an amazing food tasting event where you get to try so many menu items from cocktail hour items to entrees and more. The venue is very accommodating if you want to adjust or add anything you want served on the wedding day.

The day of our wedding could not have been more smooth, organized and stress free and we attribute the majority of that to the team at The Liberty House. They followed our schedule of events perfectly, had so many food options for our guest and kept the alcohol/bars flowing. There was never a line at the bar, and we had 200 people at our wedding.

If you are deciding between The Liberty House and another venue, DEFINITELY move forward with The Liberty House. You will not be disappointed and your day will be everything you've ever hoped it would be!

xx Ryan and Drew

Liberty House was a dream come true!!! The best service. The most amazing food. Breathtaking views. This place had it all. We loved working with our coordinator, Vivian. She was fun to work with, super knowledgable, and accommodating. She went above and beyond for us by allowing us to use all three rooms at Liberty House after realizing we were the only couple booked that night. Not only that, Liberty House had fun food options for our guests, like a donut wall and mozzarella station. The tasting was also a really fun experience for us. We highly recommend Liberty House if you want an unforgettable, delicious, and fun experience!

Five weeks before our daughter, Jaclyn Michelle, was scheduled to get married at Liberty House in Jersey City she received a text from "C" her Event Coordinator at Liberty House saying she was no longer employed there. Jaclyn & Zach, who had been working with C for 17 months planning the wedding, had an appointment with C that week to finalize all the wedding details that were mostly verbal up to that point. C was great at telling Jaclyn not to worry, she would be there to make their wedding day perfect; so to say Jaclyn was upset would be a gross understatement!

I called Liberty House immediately and was put through to Danielle Villa, Director of Events, who tried to assure me that my daughter's wedding would be perfect, and she (Danielle) would be personally taking over Jaclyn and Zach's wedding. I had many concerns, but after meeting (3.5 hours) with Danielle the following week to review and document all the details, I/we began to relax and have confidence.

Jaclyn and Zach got married at Liberty House on 8/17/19; and the wedding was perfect! Danielle Villa along with the rest of the staff at Liberty House did everything they possibly could to make everything from the outside ceremony, the cocktail hour, the reception, and the after party the best it could possibly be!!

What originally felt like a disaster was truly a blessing in disguise, and my daughter and her husband had the wedding of their dreams!

Liberty House is the perfect wedding venue. Vivian, our wedding coordinator, walked us through everything on our first meeting and we even got to see the ceremony and reception set up as they were hosting a wedding that day.
Vivian is so lovely and amazing to work with. From the beginning, she answered all our questions, even before we booked with them. Then, she made the process of planning a wedding very easy giving us recommendations with vendors. Even when it came time to decide on our menu options, she was able to accommodate our requests. My husband and I are happy how everything came out.
We got married on Memorial Day (Vivian sold it to us when she mentioned that the restaurant is closed on Mondays) and we had the whole venue to ourselves. We were the only weeding that afternoon/night and it was exceptional. I know, I even thought who gets married on a Monday, but it was worth it. Because we were the only wedding in the afternoon, Vivian was able to accommodate us and gave us the middle of the garden as our ceremony space (and we decided this the day before the wedding).

The most important thing for us was for all our guests to have fun, and we accomplished it. Family and friends are still talking about the food and how mesmerizing the venue itself was. Half of our guests came from out of state so it was important for us that they could go back and have the memory of the NY skyline. And let's not forget about The food which was delicious. We had buffet style so we had plenty of food for our guests to choose from. What else could you ask for, amazing views, delicious food and open bar.

The best decision that we ever made was getting married at Liberty House and having Christina Hope as our Memory Maker. The views at this venue are all that you need for a dream wedding but this place does not stop with just the views. Everything was honestly perfect and exactly as we wanted it. From the food, to the decor, to the staff - we couldn’t have asked for anything better.

Christina was a real standout and helped make our wedding everything that we wanted. She was there for us from start to finish, Monday through Friday, Saturdays, Sundays, holidays, and even when she was on vacation without reliable cell service. Her dedication to making sure that every detail was perfect still surprises us. If we were to say that she went above and beyond, we wouldn’t be giving her enough credit. Christina started out as our Memory Maker and ended up as our friend.
