Nanina's in the Park Reviews

From the moment we walked in when searching for a venue, Nanina's staff were accommodating, professional, helpful with advice, and most of all friendly. The venue is gorgeous, the staff on point, and the food was outrageously delicious and abundant. Every moment of the wedding was impeccable. Nanina's in the Park cares for you as if you were family. Holding only one wedding at a time with excellent service for you, your bridal party, and your guests exclusively. Thank you Nanina's for a perfect wedding dream come true! I highly recommend your venue to any bride who ever dreamed of being a "princess" for a day!!!!!!

My wedding at Nanina's in the Park was everything I could have dreamed of and more. The service from the minute we booked until we picked everything up the next day was amazing. Tom helped us plan our day down the perfect detail. Our maitre de and my bridal attendant were nothing short of amazing support for myself and my husband that day. The grounds were beautiful to take photos in, the food was amazing and environment that Nanina's provides was one of the best we could have asked for to celebrate the beginning of our forever.

Nanina's in the park was my fairy-tale wedding dream come true! The grounds are breath-taking and the food is absolutely amazing. I still have guests gushing over what a fantastic wedding we had....the best ever!!! Everything went smoothly the day of and my bridal attendant made me feel relaxed and at ease. I didn't have to worry about a thing! Nanina's in the Park is hands down the best venue to have a wedding in NJ!

You were all amazing from Peter, Liz, Martha, Cyrus to the rest of the staff! The customer service and the food was incredible and went beyond out imagination. We have received so many wonderful reviews from our many guests telling us that "this was the best wedding they have ever attended". Thank you for making our Daughter and son-in-law's wedding so perfect!

Choosing Nanina's in the Park was the best wedding decision I made. Words cannot express the emotion and gratitude I still feel for this venue and amazing people that work here well after having my wedding there on 10/26/23. Everyone really makes you feel at home and so special! I toured 13 venues in New Jersey, before making my final decision on Nanina's, and I am so HAPPY that I did. We worked with Julian who was AMAZING throughout it all. He made sure all our questions were answered and made everything from pre-wedding to post-wedding effortless. The day of my wedding, I was so lucky to have the fun Sally as my bridal attendant in the AM. She is so SWEET and made sure everyone was comfortable and happy while we were getting ready. My evening bridal attendant, Diandra, was awesome! She is a pro at wedding dress quick alterations and adjustments. She was always there when I needed her, and knew what I needed at every second, sometimes even before I knew. Jason was our Maître 'd and was also so nice and accommodating to me and my whole family. He coordinated the event so beautifully all while making sure me and my husband were happy every minute. The whole staff works like a family and you can feel the warm energy all around, Nanina's. The food was AMAZING too! And of course there was so much! All of our friends and family raved about the food and presentation. I could go on and on however, I am ultimately so grateful for each and everyone of the staff and crew who made my day extra special and one I will never ever forget. Thank you, Nanina's!! YOU'RE ALL AMAZING!!!

It will be extremely difficult to explain just how amazing Nanina's in the Park made our wedding reception. Having a wedding in the midst of a pandemic is certainly one of the more difficult choices; Nanina's made it the best choice we have made. From the booking process to our departure on wedding night, Nanina's made our experience 5 stars. Most venues can ensure the bride and groom will have a great experience; Nanina's ensures every guest receives the highest level of service.

The venue is gorgeous with new updates to the ballroom that truly shout luxury. The grounds, library room, cocktail hour space, and ballroom all offer unique decor but flow together well. The expansive space allows for large groups without feeling crowded. The venue provides many opportunities for unique and memorable photos. The ballroom has beautiful high ceilings, long tables, tiered seating, and a large dance floor (recently updated). The cocktail hour space is divided nicely on two operate levels that allows guest to spread out and easily find a place to enjoy the amazing cocktail hour food (more on food below). Just off the library room is a gorgeous, meticulously landscaped garden with fountains, pond, and a bridge. The bridal suite is elegant and charming. The bridal suite offers such beautiful space for pictures, getting ready, and unwinding before/during the big day. The venue is truly beautiful, classic, and elegant.

During the booking process, Julian worked with us to ensure we had the wedding we desired. He combined the standard excellence of Nanina's with our own vision for our wedding. He communicated pricing, menu options, and timelines with exception detail and transparency. As with most things in life, budgets matter and Julian provided a detailed spreadsheet for us to plan for the cost of our big day. The transparency on pricing and cost was truly appreciated and made our budgeting/planning much easier. After our meeting, we decided to book a Saturday night in January.

Just under a year from our wedding, we were invited for a tasting. For the tasting, we were allowed to bring four guests. The tasting was such a great experience where we were able to get a preview of the service/food we should expect on our wedding day. The staff at Nanina's did not disappoint as they reaffirmed why we decided to book with Nanina's.

Six weeks prior to our wedding, we met with our Maitre'D Vicky to review all the details for our wedding day. Vicky is super easy to work with and she ensured all our wants and needs were met for our wedding day. She is extremely detailed and certainly eased any stress of the big day. The week of our wedding, we had many items to drop off at the venue. Nanina's and Liz made this process incredibly seamless. We dropped off the items and they took care of the rest. Liz walked us through the venue to show us exactly where all our items (guest book, memorial table, seating chart, etc.) would be placed and our particular preferences. All of which were exactly as discussed on our wedding day. Again, the service at Nanina's is unmatched.

The food at Nanina's is unbelievable!!! As someone who loves the cocktail hour more than the reception dinner, Nanina's cocktail hour did not disappoint. There is an abundance of offerings (all of which come included) and are absolutely delicious. Your guest will rave about the mac n cheese bar, martini bar with ice sculpture, and multiple other delicious offerings. The cocktail hour is such a great experience where your guest will truly be wowed by the luxury and service of Nanina's. Another great gesture from Nanina's: they allowed us to stop by the following morning and sent us home with trays of food from the cocktail hour, allowing us to enjoy the flavors of our wedding day all over again.

For dinner, our guest raved about the quality of food. The chateaubriand was so tender it didn't need to be chewed. The red snapper topped with lump crab meat was bursting with flavor and freshness. Our guest could not have been happier with the meal options. Choosing dinner table side and not pre-selected is a great feature from Nanina's.

The service, the service, the service. We cannot put into words how amazing the service at Nanina's is. Your guest will be amazed by the quality of service at Nanina's. Each table is assigned two servers. They will ensure your guest constantly have their choice of beverage and will keep them from waiting in line at the bar. As a bride and groom, we were absolutely delighted with the service provided by our Maitre'D Vicky and bridal assistant Martha. From the moment we arrived off the limo bus, until we stepped back on the hotel shuttle, we had constant attention. Upon arrival, our bridal attendant Martha, escorted us to our bridal suite and immediately provided my wife with her cocktail hour craving (lobster mac n cheese). Our entire bridal party was instantly given their beverage of choice prior to the start of pictures at the venue. After pictures, Vicky brought us back to the bridal suite to enjoy every single food option served during the cocktail hour. One of the best experiences of our wedding day was just having 25 minutes alone together in the bridal suite to sit, relax, and enjoy the delicious food options. Upon our return to the bridal suite, the staff set a table, had each of our signature cocktails waiting and allowed us to enjoy some alone time together. Vicky even wrapped my dress/me in a tablecloth and changed my shoes. During the cocktail hour, was bustling my dress while I was making rounds to greet the guest. Again, the service is unmatched. Throughout the entire reception, Vicky and Martha made sure every single detail was perfect. It's the little things that set service apart and Nanina's has truly thought about every small element of a wedding day (even if you didn't). While we danced, greeted guest, and enjoyed our reception, our drinks were constantly filled and replaced. Our guest were constantly amazed by the service they received and this is the standard at Nanina's.

We could not be happier with our choice to have our wedding at Nanina's in the Park. They made our wedding day an experience will cherish for a lifetime. Julian, Vicky, Liz, Martha, and the entire staff at Nanina's THANK YOU!!! Truly set the standard for the wedding day experience.

Highly recommend Nanina's in the Park for any bride and groom looking for an unreal experience.

I fell in love with Nanina's from the moment I arrived. The gardens, the entrances, the cocktail hour rooms, and, of course, the ballroom are exquisite. Everywhere you turn is a photo opportunity and the decor transports you to a beautiful, elegant mansion that welcomes you like a home. The renovations have taken Nanina's to the next level of perfection while the staff pays attention to every detail to make sure you are happy with your event. Vicky is the absolute best and I enjoyed working with her. The food is to die for while the presentation is amazing! I only wish the day lasted longer and we had more leftovers to take home ;)

Nanina's in the Park made my dream wedding a reality! The food was spectacular, the ambiance was spectacular and I did not have a worry in the world. They truly know what it takes to throw a 5 star wedding! Thank you!

I just got married on Friday, March 9, 2012 and it was the best day of my life. I have been working with Peter from Nanina's since day 1 and I was ecstatic when he was our maitre'd for the evening. My husband and I felt like royalty. We felt like we actually attended the wedding, in terms of being able to experience everything. We ate, we drank we danced, we had a BLAST. My bridal attendant was Sol. She was a complete doll. Every time I turned around she was there to take an empty glass out of my hand and replace it with a full one. Peter was basically our personal body guard. He was there every moment making sure we got anything/everything we needed, and just making sure things ran smoothly overall. Our favorite part was having our own reserved table at the cocktail hour. We were able to enjoy the bet part of the wedding. Peter sat us down and endless drinks and plates of food from every station was brought over to us. The set up was perfect! We were in the middle of the room, so people came over to us to say hello, while we were enjoying every bit of the most delicious food. This way we were able to party with guests during our reception, rather than go table hopping thanking people for coming and missing the whole wedding. We requested red bull at the wedding because its a fan favorite, and Peter didn't even blink before providing it for us. The chef Vincenzo is unbelievable!!!!!! From the cocktail hour to the AMAZING venetian hour, I can not express to you how delicious and abundant everything was. I cant wait to get our pictures back from our photographer, especially to see the ones of the food. Our guests are still raving about the wedding, from the food, to the top shelf liquor, to the cool stadium like seating, to the unbelievable service. If you dont get married here you are truly missing out! We LOVED our wedding at Nanina's in the Park!!!

Nanina's offers an exceptionally good atmosphere-cocktail hour offered a nice variety of food and main course & desert were great. Staff was extremely attentive to detail and I'd highly recommend this venue for your wedding reception.

Also there was a wedding photo booth at reception which was the hit of the event! www.nextgenphotobooth.com. Based on all the above we easily give it "5 Stars".

Best night of our lives! Everything was perfect. Our friends and family are still raving about the day.

I highly recommend Nanina's in the park to brides and grooms looking for a wedding venue in the NYC area. The food is outstanding, they do one wedding at a time and are true professionals. This was the only venue I went to that truly included it all in the per person price. The cocktail hour was to die for and the Viennese hour was a hit too. They also packed up leftovers for us that our guests were able to munch on during the after party. Overall, Nanina's is really the best place to get married!

There are not enough good things to say about Naninas’s nor will there ever be a post that will do them justice. Everyone at Nanina’s is FABULOUS! We got married on 11/25/18 and literally they helped us have the best day ever. From the moment we stepped in to book the venue, to the morning I arrived to get ready, alll the way to us leaving the venue at night on the shuttle - everything is top notch. The food - is literally the best and that cocktail hour was more than you expect it to be! The venue is so beautiful and our pictures are grand, because of the beautiful backdrops they gave. Julian, and the entire team made our wedding day - a day straight out of a fairytale and there were absolutely no hiccups. We know we made the best decision ever, by choosing Nanina’s in the Park. We will forever be thankful for their attention to detail and for treating us like the king and queen for the day!!!

Wow I cannot say enough amazing things about Nanina’s!!! I got married here on 1/5/25 and it was truly the best day of our lives. From our first visit 2 years ago to book they made us feel so special every time we came to the venue. Julian was our main contact and was amazing - so attentive and helpful throughout the entire process. Liz also was so helpful every time I would call and come in she would make us feel so welcome - felt like part of the family here. Vicky also helped us and gave us so many amazing ideas - the entire staff is top tier.
The day of our wedding could not have gone any smoother - it was honestly so calm all day - zero stress. They run everything so perfectly that there is truly nothing you need to worry about that day then just enjoying yourself and getting ready to marry the love of your life.

Miriam was my bridal attendant - she was with me from 630 in the morning until 10pm when the wedding was over - she was there for literally everything I needed that day - from holding my dress, helping me use the bathroom and even little things like lipstick touches- truly couldn’t have gotten through the day without her!

Kirby was our Maitre D’ and WOW was he absolutely amazing! They said we would love him and they weren’t wrong! He was so sweet and made sure our day ran so smoothly with no stress.

All of our family and friends are still talking about how it was one of the best weddings they’ve ever been to - from the beautiful venue, amazing food (can’t stress the food enough - SO MUCH FOOD and so good), gorgeous chapel and amazing staff.

If you are looking for the wedding venue of your dreams - look no further!!

If you want the most beautiful wedding with the best food on the planet, this is definitely the spot!! Everyone was responsive and delightful to deal with.

It has been over a month since our New Year’s Eve wedding and we are STILL getting phone calls about how wonderful our wedding was and how great Nanina’s is! From the moment we walked in for our first visit we were blown away by the beautiful décor and wonderful atmosphere. We visited Nanina’s twice before contracting and both times we had other guests of theirs coming up to us to tell us to stop looking for the venue because Nanina’s was the best, and they were right!

Tom was very helpful in explaining all of the details to us when we were getting started, and he shared his expertise with us on how we should plan the evening so we had a full blown wedding AND New Year’s Eve bash! Vicky and Liz received countless calls and emails from us and they were always ready and able to answer our questions and help us with our planning. Peter was our maitre d’ but he was so much more. He made sure we had crossed every T and dotted every I before our wedding day, and on the day of our wedding, he was like a caring father, making sure that we ate, drank, and had fun! Martha was our bridal attendant and all I had to do was look in her direction, and through some amazing ESP she always seemed to do what I was just about to ask for. It’s obvious that she has done this a million times before and that she really cares about the wedding party and making sure all their needs are met.

The food at Nanina’s in on another level. I am an event planner and have been to many hotels and restaurants around the world, and Nanina’s had some of the best food I ever tasted. Chef Vincenzo is most humble person you will ever meet, and he sincerely just wants to make good food that people can enjoy. And the variety!! I think the only complaint we had the entire night was that there was too much good food to choose from and that people were too full to keep eating!

Many thanks to owners Joe and Barry for working with us so that we could have the most wonderfully memorable wedding! Nanina’s is like a family, and walking into Nanina’s is like being invited to someone’s amazing home, and we are honored that they opened their home to us and our family and friends. On the night of our wedding, a cousin told is this was by far the best wedding he has ever been to in his life, we couldn’t have asked for a better compliment. Now for all our friends looking for their wedding venues, we tell them no question, go to Nanina’s!!

Our wedding was literally out of a dream. Nanina's exceeded the mark on both food and service. Vicky made planning as easy as could be and made the day of flow seamlessly, even fixing the bustle of my dress as it started to fall throughout the night, she thought of things before they happened and made sure we did everything we wanted to do throughout the night. Martha, made sure we (bride and groom) were good with drinks throughout the night, she even realized when my groom left his tux jacket in the bridal suite and immediately realized and ran up to grab it for him before his mother son dance. Our guests are still raving about the food, especially the mozzarella cocktail station, martini bar and Zeppele filled with Oreos and Nutella. Thank you for helping to make our wedding the most unforgettable day and night, it meant the world to us!

Where do I even begin! This venue is the epitome of beauty and elegance! We knew the moment we walked through the door that this was where we were getting married. From the second we walked in to tour Naninas to the morning after our wedding, the service and hospitality was next level. Every single person at the venue was an absolute dream to work with. Julian, Steve, and Liz went above and beyond to help with anything we needed, and they made any worry we had completely disappear. The entire planning process was seamless and communication with Naninas was a breeze. One thing that really stood out to us was that every time we stopped by the venue, even unannounced prior to our wedding, they knew exactly who we were and greeted us by name. You can tell that they take pride in quality service and professionalism. Now let’s talk about our wedding day. UNBELIEVABLE! The service, the food, the vibes…incredible. Naninas made us feel like royalty! We both got ready in the bridal suites the morning of the wedding, and our morning bridal attendant Crystal was attentive and kind. Our maitre d’ Vicky and our bridal attendant Marta were everything we could have wanted and more. Talk about a dream team! They were by our side the entire night of our wedding making sure we felt amazing and having the best time. Vicky always made sure I had lipstick on and Marta made sure my hair was perfectly intact. They were so attentive and handled every detail to perfection. If you are lucky to have them as your right hand ladies, you will have the best night or day of your life! We got married in the new chapel and it is outstanding. They out did themselves with this chapel, it is beautiful and grand. Next up the food… OUR GUESTS CANNOT STOP RAVING ABOUT THE FOOD. The cocktail hour, dinner, the Viennese dessert, and the after party had the most delicious and incredible food. Everything was top tier. They even gave us 12 trays of food the morning after our wedding to eat at home. Let’s just say we ate WELL for the next week. Saying Naninas in the Park is a well oiled machine is an understatement. The wedding was flawless and the absolutely best day of our lives. If you have the opportunity to have your wedding here, RUN DON’T WALK. Your wedding will be an absolute dream.

Had our engagement party there! The food and service was excellent! They recently renovated the rooms as well, therefore the room was update to date and gorgeous. Would hopefully love to have our wedding there as well!

You hear it all the time that Nanina's is the top venue in New Jersey, but when you experience it and LIVE it, you gain a whole new perspective. Immediately as my husband and I walked through Nanina's doors, we were stuck on this venue. The entire team are absolute professionals and provide unmatched service making you feel like the most important bride and groom around. My guests can not stop raving about the never ending cocktail hour food selection and the impeccable service and atmosphere. My husband and I had our wedding this past weekend on 2/9/18. Every one of my dreams came true that night at Nanina's. Syrus, Julian and their team worked so unbelievably hard to make sure every part of our night was smooth and effortless. We danced from the moment we walked in to the last minute. The staff made sure all of my small details that I worked so hard on were displayed in the best fashion and they accommodated our guests to the fullest. I am blown away by this venues outstanding support for their bride and groom couples and I am wishing and hoping that a friend gets married here soon so we can re-live our day and enjoy it all over again. Thank you all for such an amazing experience that we will remember always.

I don’t even know where to start with Nanina’s. All I can say is Nanina’s just does it right! The venue is gorgeous and recently renovated. The planning process, even during a pandemic, was seamless thanks to Steve and his team. The day of our wedding flowed so seamlessly and effortlessly thanks to Syrus and our wonderful bridal assistants. The food is beyond outstanding and the guests are still talking about it over a week later. All of the staff made sure that my husband and I got to try all of the food by setting us up private stations for cocktail hour and during the viennese hour. We even got lucky and had the cherry blossoms bloom just in time surrounding their property, which made our photos extra special! I couldn’t imagine having our wedding at another venue and I highly recommend considering them for your wedding venue!

We had a dream wedding. The venue was beautiful, food was delicious, and the staff were incredible. Everyone was kind, attentive, and accommodating. We are so grateful to everyone who worked with us leading up to the big day and on our wedding day. Each and every staff member made a point to congratulate us and wish us well. I am so glad we booked Nanina's!

Nanina's in the park is the BEST venue in North Jersey. The food cannot be beaten!!!!! After attending a wedding at Nanina's in the park I knew that is where I had to have my own wedding. Our wedding was months ago and guests are still raving about the food!! The staff is wonderful to work with and truly make your day special.

My husband and I got married at Nanina's in the Park this past May 10, 2013 and it was truly a dream come true. Peter, Vicky, Martha, Vincenzo and the ENTIRE staff at Nanina's are extremely professional. Words will never be able to express our gratitude for creating the most perfect, magical, beautiful day. It was beyond what we ever imagined. Peter establishes a very personal bond and allows you to feel confident that he will handle everything. Martha, is by far, the world's greatest Bridal Attendant! Her attentiveness and professionalism was impeccable. Every single time we needed something whether it be to hold my lipstick, fix my dress, or calming your nerves, she was there. Flawless. Vicky is great... her fun and exciting attitude made us feel like she really cared and had all of the details under control. Peter and Martha did a phenomenal job of providing us with a little bit of everything during cocktail hour and making sure ate and took time for ourselves throughout the night. Everyone is still talking about the variety and quality of food. Vincenzo is the most amazing and friendly chef. He will give you whatever you need/want. We could go on and on... The staff at Nanina's created and executed our dream wedding and we are forever grateful. Nanina's in the Park is TRULY THE BEST and we would not have changed one single thing.

Ryan and Tara Barnard

We chose Nanina's in the Park for our wedding, they were the first and only venue we looked at. We had never heard of them before and after one visit (and experiencing other weddings at other venues) we knew it was the one. We dont regret it for a second. All of the staff was so professional and efficient in everything they did. Giselle, the bridal attendant was always in 3 places at once, consistently 1 step ahead of everyone. Liz was always there to help answer any questions we had along the way and made sure everything kept flowing. Vicki was wonderful helping us coordinate leading up to the wedding as well as keeping everything going day of. And Rich was absolutely amazing as our Maitre'D. He was always right there when we needed him, making sure the entire day went smoothly and stood on course without getting in the way or making us feel rushed. We got ready there and held the ceremony on site. The entire day was amazing and Nanina's staff was perfect the whole way. We never had to worry about a thing. We are still getting compliments on everyone, the bartenders being able to suggest drinks with the food people were eating, the waitstaff keeping everyone's drinks full before they even thought of it themselves, to the valet and coat check keeping things moving swiftly. Cocktail hour was like nothing anyone had experienced before, everyone loved the martini bar and we're pretty sure people will.be talking about the tripe for years to come. The chef is just as amazing as the staff. The Venetian hour topped all others we've seen as well. From the gelato to cream brulee and even the coffee station, nothing but perfection. Oh, and did we mention price? Can not beat it. We can not stress enough how amazing Nanina's is and we can not wait to attend another event there!
