    Spectacular Transformation of a Classic Wedding Venue

    Growing up on the Jersey Shore, I attended many banquet functions at The Shadowbrook. The Shadowbrook was a classic, but ageing venue.

    The recent expansion and re-imagination into a modern and opulent wedding venue is nothing short of spectacular! I attended a wedding at the Shadowbrook this past Sunday night as a vendor (DJ). The space is beautiful, and perfect for a wedding couple seeking the best in everything.

    Food - delicious! The giant shrimp cocktail was so delicious, the sushi options were immense, and they even served Beef Carpaccio.

    From a vendor perspective, the space is well-designed with a convenient loading dock close to the stage, and lots of storage space for carrying cases. The kitchen was large and immaculate. The space overall is very well-designed and offers infinite photo opportunities.

    Andrew, the Maitre'd - was kind and helpful, and a true team player committed to the wedding couple having the best day of their life!

    World Class Venue With Owners/Staff that make you family.

    I recently had my wedding at the most spectacular upscale venue in New Jersey, and I couldn't be happier with my choice. From the moment we arrived, the staff treated us with such care and attention that we felt like royalty. The service throughout the event was exceptional, with every detail meticulously taken care of. And the food? It was simply outstanding. Our guests are still talking about how delicious every dish was. But what really made our day unforgettable was the ambiance of the venue itself. The elegant decor and breathtaking views created the perfect atmosphere for our celebration. I can't recommend it enough, people will talk about this place forever.

    **Stephanie helped us book this amazing event from start to finish, she was amazing and I highly recommend you speak with her to inquire about a date. Great communication!
    **Mark the owner helped out greatly with our request. He took the time to speak with our family during the wedding and made sure everything was in place. Truly treated like he was apart of our family.

    Nothing less than extraordinary

    The minute we walked through the doors for our tour we knew that this is where we wanted to host our wedding. After visiting roughly a dozen venues in the greater NY/NJ area, none quite resonated with us the way Shadowbrook did. To say our wedding at Shadowbrook exceeded all expectations would be an understatement. No detail was missed, and everything came together to create an unforgettable experience.

    The cocktail hour, dinner, flambe show, and Viennese desert was impeccably planned and left us and our guests in awe at every turn. The cocktail hour was not just delicious but beautifully presented. Even after the wedding, our guests continue to praised it as the most remarkable cocktail hour they had ever encountered. Several guests even mistook it for the main dinner due to the exceptional quality and abundance of food and the diverse range of stations.

    Mark has built a remarkable venue and has truly created an unparalleled wedding experience. His team's service was exceptional, and their meticulous attention to detail ensured that every facet of our day was flawlessly executed. Stephanie, our dedicated wedding coordinator, was a constant source of support and guidance throughout the year of planning. She was readily available to answer any questions and always just a call away. Her expertise made the entire planning process stress-free, culminating in a day that exceeded our expectations.

    On the day of the wedding, the staff went above and beyond, making us their top priority. The Maître D' and his team executed with precision, ensuring a seamless celebration. Each of our parents and grandparents received their own personal attendants, attending to their every need. Additionally, there were several bridal attendants catering to the bride the entire day for 14+ hours.

    Shadowbrook brought our wedding vision to life in a way that was beyond our imagination. Our unforgettable experience is a testament to their unwavering commitment to excellence. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Mark, Stephanie, and the Shadowbrook team for making our day truly exceptional.

    Exceptional Wedding Venue

    From the moment my fiancé and I toured The Shadowbrook for the first time, we knew we were in a very special place. The grounds are impeccable and beautifully maintained; the venue is gorgeous in a classic and elegant way. From the moment you drive through the gate you feel as though you've arrived at a very exclusive and spectacular destination.

    However, what truly sets this venue apart from all others is the level of service provided by every single staff member, top to bottom. From our initial tour to any post-wedding details, Mark (one of the owners) answered all of my phone calls and personally assisted with every facet of the wedding planning process. Stephanie was also a great help with menu selections and day-of details.

    On the day of, the salon staff, M'aitre D and bridal attendant took excellent care of our family. They anticipated our needs before we even knew what we needed. Corinne was an absolute godsend as a bridal attendant and Andrew was extremely helpful and organized with our timeline and dinner service.

    The servers and bartenders treated all our guests like VIPs. Service was seamless and 100% on point without being pretentious or stuffy. The Viennese hour was simply incredible and sent the party over-the-top.

    Most of our guests shared with us that this was the most beautiful wedding they have ever attended, and my husband and I can't help but agree! We are still getting phone calls weeks later from guests raving about the food and the service. A thousand thanks to Mark and the entire staff at The Shadowbrook for making our wedding dreams come true! It was more spectacular than we could have ever imagined.

    Outstanding Service at Shadowbrook!

    The team at Shadowbrook provided outstanding service for my wedding on New Year’s Eve! My husband and I have been fortunate to attend and enjoy many events at Seasons and The Venetian, and have become accustomed to experiencing an exemplary level of service from their venues, but somehow, our wedding at Shadowbrook still managed to exceed all of our expectations for quality and excellence. Throughout the wedding planning process, we received personal care and attention to every detail, which carried over to the day of the event. Upon arrival, our guests were warmly greeted at the entrance by their staff, immediately making them feel welcome and special. Everything about the event itself was spectacular: the service was attentive but not intrusive, and every member of their team conducted themselves with the utmost professionalism. The venue itself looked stunning, and the overabundance of food was as impressive as it was delicious. The cocktail hour, sit-down dinner, and the dessert hour were all first-rate, from the quality, variety, and presentation of the food to the exceptional service throughout the evening. Our wedding at Shadowbrook was all that we hoped it would be, and more!!!

    Quality and Service beyond your wildest dreams!!!

    The whole team at Shadowbrook, from communication with Mark (the owner), Stephanie who helped us plan every last detail of our unforgettable day, to our Maitre D and their team that kept the entire day on track and did everything in their power to make sure we had nothing to worry about or stress was ABOVE AND BEYOND. The attention to detail, the quality of the service, the amazing food (which all of our friends and family still talk about 1 year later) just completely blew us away. That is before you even discuss the beauty of the property and the building and its new renovations, the Salon for the bride and her friends and family to get ready in is an experience that is a MUST have. If you haven't experienced a wedding at Shadowbrook you haven't truly experienced the best wedding you may ever experience. We are forever grateful to Mark and everyone on his team for making it the best day of our lives.

    07-24-22. The Best Day Ever!

    My Wife and I just got married at Shadowbrook on 07-24-22. From the moment we walked through those doors when visiting for the first time we were amazed. Arlinda, the sales rep gave us the best tour, proving us with history of the venue and an insight of how our special day would be. Mark- one of the owners, was so responsive during the wedding planning process and his assurance made us feel at ease during the stressful wedding planning months. Stephanie was also super helpful as we were getting close to the wedding day. Now for our special day, words can’t express how happy and content we were with the venue! We truly felt like royalty from the second we stepped foot on the property. The Shadowbrook offered not only some of the best food but also sensational and phenomenal service. My Wife and I still have family & friends calling us raving about the delicious cocktail hour and how they never saw so much food in their lives. Our bridal attendant, Gianna, was fantastic, providing my wife and I with everything we needed the entire day. The Maitre d’ and entire waitstaff was on their A game, focusing so much attention on our guests by filling cocktails quickly and providing stellar 5 star service. Our guest even noted the service to us that’s how on point it was. The attention to detail this venue offers is unbelievable. Also the venue itself is just absolutely BEAUTIFUL, the recent renovation was truly done right. The art deco decor is elegant, classy, and timeless. We highly highly recommend for any couples looking for a wedding venue to not have any doubt at all and to book the Shadowbrook. This place is a gem and very well run. We have both been to many weddings but no other place can top the quality service, food, & beauty you will receive here. Thank you so much to the number 1 venue in NJ for giving us the most amazing wedding, a day we won’t ever forget as well as our guest. We Can’t wait to hopefully be back as guests one day.

    A flawless wedding venue

    I seriously cannot say enough amazing things about Shadowbrook. If you are looking for a wedding venue, pick the Shadowbrook. You will have the time of your life and the wedding of your dreams. Every single detail is flawless. The food, drinks, atmosphere, staff, ambiance, everything is 10/10. The bridal suite to get ready in was so fun and the food was great. The bridal attendants during the day were awesome. As for my day of bridal coordinator, Stephanie, she seriously made my wedding. We had fun together, she made me so calm and took care of literally ANYTHING and EVERYTHING. She got whatever we needed. She was the best. Danny, the maître d, was super helpful and on point of everything. Marc was also such a key part in making our night absolutely flawless. They all had the timing down perfectly. It is such a smoothly run operation. As the bride, I seriously could just enjoy every single minute and know they were taking care of it all for me. Every single employee was kind and attentive. So many of our guests commented on this. Arlinda was the original key point person that sold us on the venue.
    The dance floor is huge. The room is spectacular. There is a stage for the band. The food is delicious. The cocktail hour is out of this world. There are so many different stations for food. They have little mini drinks that go around with fun food items. The ice luge was a hit. It is almost a month later and all my friends and parent’s friends are still talking about the wedding.
    I cannot thank Shadowbrook enough. You gave us the best day of our entire lives. We will forever remember it all and miss that day. We love looking through our pictures to relive it. Thank you, thank you Stephanie, Marc, Danny, Arlinda, and every single employee at Shadowbrook.
    We hope to one day go back to the Shadowbrook as guests to enjoy it all again 😊

    The Shadowbrook is STUNNING!

    WOW!!...We got married at The Shadowbrook in July 2022. The Shadowbrook went above exceeding our expectations in all categories. The Shadowbrook is an absolutely gorgeous venue with a dedicated staff and delicious food. From the moment our guests arrived through the entrance gates to the spectacular ‘to go’ stations at the end of the night, every detail was to perfection! Our guests could not stop raving about the amazing service, jaw-dropping grounds, and unbelievable food! Our bridal attendant Gianna and our maître d’ Andrew were incredibly kind and thorough. They took care of everything for us, we didn’t have to lift a finger! They made sure all events from the evening went smoothly and to our liking. Throughout the planning process, we met with Carl, Dan, Mark, and Stephanie. They answered all of our questions with expertise and made us feel confident that our wedding day would be exactly how we envisioned. The Shadowbrook was the perfect venue for our special day!

    Best decision we made

    The decision to book at the Shadowbrook was certainly the best one we made. It proved to be one-of-a-kind.

    We decided to visit the Shadowbrook because they are known for high quality service and food. On top of that, they recently renovated in 2020 and the site has a "wow factor" at every turn.

    Starting with the beautiful entrance gates, guests head down a long driveway lined by evergreen trees before pulling up to the impressive mansion style venue. And upon entering the building, jaws drop at the long hallway lined with marble floor and gold chandeliers. The overall venue feels like a combination of old New York/Gatsby paired with the Palace of Versailles.

    The real win-factor for me was the brand new ceremony space. It's a separate building that gives you the indoor/outdoor feel. For brides who want to be married outside but can't control the weather, this is an absolute win. The space is gorgeous and has the ability to open up the side "walls" to let the outside, in. Or, if the weather is too poor, the walls stay down but they are clear, so you still get the sense of being outside, but protected from the elements.

    Our wedding day was 70 degrees and sunny. The walls were all open, letting in the fresh air as the sun was setting. The space is lined with evergreen trees... bird chirping as I walked down the aisle. It was magical.

    But that's not all. Their reputation for high quality staff, service, food was 100% accurate. It's the first thing that our guests commented on; they all said that it's the best service they've ever seen at a wedding and that the food (lots of it!) was all delicious. Every single guest has said "best wedding I've ever been to".

    As the bride and groom, we cannot thank the staff enough. My bridal attendant, Gianna, was absolutely incredible. I don't even have the words. I truly felt so comfortable with our Maitre'd team. They immediately demonstrated that they were experts in the business. Because of them, I felt like I could actually relax and enjoy the day.

    And along this journey, we felt so supported by the the Shadowbrook leadership team. Any question we had was answered quickly and with understanding. We met with several different people throughout the planning stages, and we were always treated with kindness, support and respect. If we could do it all again, we would.

    Fairytale dream come true-no words!

    We seriously can not say it enough- what a vital part EVERYONE at Shadowbrook was to making our entire day and night absolutely perfect. Every person we worked with through this entire process, Especially Mark from the beginning was absolutely amazing. We booked Shadowbrook at the beginning of construction without even seeing anything built abs had full confidence in Mark and the entire team that our dream would be brought to life abs that is exactly what happened!!

    Everyone we encountered throughout these past 2 years- exhibited professionalism, willingness to help and patience that stood out above the rest.
    Shadowbrook is the epitome of elegance and beauty. No words to describe how beautiful every inch of this venue is! Photos are absolutely amazing and our guests were in awe all night!!!
    We will forever be grateful for our maitre’d Dan, as well as my bridal attendant Corrine — who both were two of the most amazing people and crucial
    To making our day and night as PERFECT as it was. We will be raving about our day for years to come… every aspect was more perfect than we even could have imagined!!!

    The Best of The Best

    We booked the Shadowbrook in hard hats and primarily based on a blue print since it was still under construction. We put our trust in Mark and his team and they more then delivered. Everyone at the Shadowbrook is friendly, helpful and willing to do anything for their couples. We had multiple phone calls with Mark and Amy during the construction and our planning process and they never rushed us off the phone, put us at ease with some of our concerns and were always available for us. As we got closer to our wedding date Stephanie and Danny took over and they were even better to deal with (if that’s even possible). Stephanie took detailed notes during out meetings and little offhand comment we made were taken care of without us even realizing she was doing it. The day of the wedding Stephanie and Danny were amazing. From the second we got there to the minute we left they were by our side making sure everything was going as we had hoped it would. They were incredible. Our guests had an amazing time and we are still getting texts and calls from families and friends saying it was the best wedding they had ever been too. The Venue is stunning, food was absolutely incredible and every single worker was professional, kind and overall just amazing. It’s tough to put into words how overwhelming happy we were having our wedding at the Shadowbrook. It really is the best of the best and we really hope some of our friends get married there because we can’t wait to go back!

    There is no other choice! You MUST book here...

    When my family and I sat down with Mark and Amy last November (2019), we knew that we wouldn’t be looking at any other venue because NOBODY would ever make us instantly feel like family the way they did. When we first toured Shadowbrook, they were just starting their renovations but Mark’s transparency, his confidence and professionalism made us comfortable; so we knew we could entrust my sister’s wedding in his hands. As anyone who has tried to plan anything during these uncertain times can tell you, it is crucial to maintain communication during the planning phase to ensure flawlessness; and that’s what Mark and the Shadowbrook team provided us.

    But even knowing, trusting and having confidence in Mark and his team, I still remain in awe of how PERFECT every aspect of my sister’s wedding went. Danny was an AMAZING maitre’d and Stephanie the BEST bridal attendant anyone could ever ask for. The staff were all super friendly and attentive to all of our guests for all of their needs and wants.

    EVERYONE RAVED about the cocktail hour and my only hope is that I can someday get invited to a wedding at the Shadowbrook just so that I could get the full experience. Brittany was the attendant for myself, my parents and our family, and we can’t thank her enough for always checking in to see if we needed anything. My glass never got the chance to be empty because I would be 3/4 of the way done and a replacement was already on the way. Oh, and that chandeliers, but more specifically the Chihuly chandelier that’s just before the grand ballroom... WOW 🤩 WHAT A STATEMENT PIECE!!!

    The Shadowbrook team superseded any expectations myself, the bride, our family or any of our guests could have ever imagined. 3 days later our guests were having withdrawals from such a great party.

    My recommendation is to take any advice that they give you because they are the experts and models for the wedding business. They align themselves with only the BEST vendors. I wish them continued success and I know once we can return to normal, it will be nearly impossible to book a wedding at their venue because the dates will fill quickly.

    I can’t possibly say enough and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this venue!!

    Exceptional venue

    WOW! This venue is exceptional in all aspects. The entire team at Shadowbrook is the definition of professionalism and class. I could have never imagined that my wedding would have turned out as amazing as it did. Mark, Amy, Dan, &Stephanie were an absolute dream team to work with. Do yourself a favor and just book your next event here!! Everything from the venue itself (which is absolutely BEAUTIFUL), to the food (which my guests are still raving about days later ), to the service (which was impeccable and all of my guests commented how courteous and attentive the entire staff was ) is well worth every penny. This is the first and only venue I looked at -- and I literally have no regrets. It was the perfect wedding! I am still getting calls on how this is the best wedding my guests have ever attended. You will not be disappointed!

    The best day ever!

    Incredible Venue: I truly don't know where to start. I booked the Shadowbrook before it was even built and trusted the blueprints. Mark helped us out front start to finish. I also emailed Amy weekly for an update. Everyone at the Shadowbrook was professional and amazing to work with. The team they have is unbelievable, and made our day seamless. I truly don't know how to thank the Shadowbrook enough for the most magical day of our lives. We waited for the place to be built after looking at 11 other venues, nothing else compared. During COVID they were so understanding and worked with us and found us our perfect rescheduled date. When the day came, June 11th, 2021, from the moment I arrived everything went perfectly. Dan the Matre'd was amazing! Our parents felt so special throughout the whole day. The salon to get ready in is perfect. They provide champagne and food all afternoon. Then the bridal suite is gorgeous to hang out in and take photos. My Bridal attendant, Stephanie, was absolutely amazing. She was right by my side all day and was such a huge huge help. She made sure everything was perfect. She helped the groom as well with whatever he needed. The ceremony onsite was stunning and the Shadowbrook helped make sure everything was on time. During the cocktail hour the Matre'd made sure our parents tried all the food. the guests were blown away! For the reception, the service was impeccable and the place looked gorgeous. The venetian hour was a huge successful and all our guests said it was the best wedding they have ever been too. I truly cannot thank the entire team at the Shadwobrook enough. Your blew our expectations away. It was everything we could of ever dreamed of and much MORE!!! It was truly the best day of our lives.
    Thank you!!!!!!!

    Speechless!

    We had our wedding at the Shadowbrook on 12/8/2018. I am writing this review 5 months later and I still don’t think I have the proper words to express how spectacular our wedding was. From the moment we met with Amy, I knew the Shadowbrook was the perfect place for us. The planning process was effortless as the staff is so fantastic. The night of our wedding everything was absolutely perfect. The food was AMAZING! Our guests are still talking about it all these months later!! Carl and the staff are professional and attentive. The service was incredible as was our bridal attendant Stephanie, who helped us the entire night. I really can’t say enough about the Shadowbrook. They gave us the best wedding ever!

    Unforgettable Experience!

    We cannot thank Shadowbrook and its staff enough for giving us such amazing memories that we will cherish forever! The team here goes above and beyond to make sure you have the absolute perfect wedding. They’re highly professional and go out of the way to make sure there is no stress on you or your families at all. As soon as we arrived, I felt fully confident that they had everything handled and they did! The staff has earpieces to stay in communication with each other to make sure everything goes smoothly. They make you feel special, like your royalty! The maitre d’ was so kind and helpful with us all, as well as my bridal attendant who helped hold my flowers and carry my dress while taking pictures. She also bustled my dress which was a huge bonus! They were incredible. The staff is great, but the food and service is just as spectacular. Most of our guests told us at the end of the night that it was the best wedding they’ve been too.

    Before my wedding, I’ve ran into people in town who have attended weddings at the Shadowbrook and they all have the same response, “Best wedding ever! Will never forget it!” I highly recommend the Shadowbrook if you’re looking to wow your guests and have them keep talking about it weeks later, even years later! Thank you Shadowbrook at Shrewsbury!

    I do not even know where to begin. We got married here last weekend and it was absolutely perfect. When we first walked into the Shadowbrook I knew that would be where I would be getting married. The venue is absolutely breath taking. And then you start meeting that staff and it gets even better. We met and booked with Mark who was fantastic, answered every question imaginable and whenever I asked to speak with him he got right on the phone and calmed my nerves. He was there the night of our wedding and made sure everything was great for us. Not only did he make sure everything was great at the Shadowbrook but he also recommended the best vendors possible for DJ, photography, limo, shuttle services and even hotel accommodations. Next comes Amy who is the most perfect person ever, she is definitely in the right field of work! She knows so much about The Shadowbrook and what is going on. Nothing was too big nor too small for her, she made sure everything was going to be perfect for us. Right down to the blue champagne we wanted for our toast. Our Maître D was Matt and our bridal attendant was Steph, there is not enough I can say about them. Even Dan was fantastic, I met Dan for the first time when I had my drop off appointment but he was there the entire night of our wedding and he also made sure everything was perfect and kept asking if we needed anything, and even got us drinks and food. The food was amazing, it's almost a week later and people are still raving about it, the staff was fantastic quick, prompt and made everyone feel important. They made sure to treat us like royalty all night long and that is exactly how we felt, like a king and queen! We seriously cannot thank the entire team enough at The Shadowbrook for making our dream a reality.

    My now husband and I walked into the Shadowbrook for the first time in January of 2017- we met with Mark that first visit and were immediately impressed by him, the space, and menu. We walked out knowing that we had found our venue, and signed our contract within a week. Being in the business myself, I had high expectations- and to say they were met is a complete understatement. Mark and Amy were on point the entirety of the planning process, and the day of our wedding was nothing short of perfection!
    Carl and Serena are everything that a bride and groom deserve on their wedding day: patient, communicative, doting, fun, organized, flexible, and at the ready to take are of anything you may need from the second you arrive to the moment you drive away at the end of the night.
    The entire staff was professional, yet personable, with every single guest; our parents were especially taken care of by their assigned servers to make sure they got to enjoy cocktail to the fullest.
    We just got back from our honeymoon, and the entire time we were away we would continuously get texts and emails from friends and family just RAVING about the service, food and bar selection. IT IS KILLER!
    The cocktail hour alone is enough to make you cry since it takes up both sides of the mansion (guests were constantly in shock and the variety), not to mention the butler passed hors d'oeuvres on top of all it! One of the ice carvings (which is included) at the raw bar station was even made to match the logo on our invitations exactly!
    Dinner and desserts are no less impressive with restaurant-quality options and presentations.
    I'm starting to reach the limit so I'll end with this: all in all, I CAN NOT imagine having had our wedding anywhere else.
    If you want the ultimate wedding experience, go to the Shadowbrook!!

    There is no way to put into words how beautiful of a wedding that the Shadowbrook puts together. Amy was a pleasure to work with throughout the whole process- making it easy and stress free. She was always available, even for silly little questions. Carl, the maitre d, was nothing short of amazing. He was present and aware of everything going on, before it even happened! Carl set the room up in a way that I could have never imagined. We dropped off a bunch of stuff and said we trusted him- and sure enough, everything exceeded all expectations. Serena, the Bridal Assistant was the cherry on top! She was so helpful all night. The cocktail hour is amazing, the service is amazing, the grounds are amazing, and Shadowbrook offers both an indoor and outdoor access- which was lovely for an an August night. I cannot express how unbelievably perfect the whole night was. I would recommend the Shadowbrook without hesitation.

    Absolutely perfect!!

    To say the Shadowbrook gave us the most spectacular day of our lives is an understatement. Every detail was extremely well thought out, done with perfection and we couldn't have asked for a better team to help us along the planning process. From the endless amount of delicious food that people are in awe to eat, to the epic after party at the venue (which included even more food!), our wedding is still being talked about by all as the best wedding they have ever been to. Unfortunately the day of our wedding it rained for the one hour we were supposed to have the ceremony outside. The shadowbrook team, however, seamlessly moved the entire ceremony into the ballroom without even batting an eyelash or letting the guests be affected. During the entire night the staff was over the top supportive and there for anything we needed or even thought we might need! I would highly highly highly recommend the shadowbrook for your event--it will for sure be the best day of your life!

    We had our wedding here in July 2018 and the entire event was spectacular! We received many rave reviews on the food (especially the cocktail hour and Viennese dessert addition which we are so happy we did), venue, gardens, and overall decor. It is impressive that they produced such a high volume of a variety of food while keeping the quality high. Numerous guests pointed out that the service was also fantastic. We always had drinks at our table and our personal assistants were very attentive to our needs. The flow of the night was very smooth. And they also allowed us to incorporate our dog into the ceremony and created a beautiful ice sculpture with his photo! The gardens looked very beautiful especially on the sunny day that we got. In summary, everything was fantastic and we didn't have a single complaint. We would highly recommend this venue to anyone looking to celebrate a special occasion. So many of our guests said it was the best wedding they'd ever been to. I know they are closing soon temporarily for expansion but if you hire them in the future you won't be disappointed--this management team is known for keeping the quality, service, decor, and food top of the line!!

    We had our wedding here July 2018, and were honestly in love with it from our first tour. Amy helped us through the entire planning process, and made it really easy. She suggested handing out Chik Fil A at the end of the reception which was such a huge hit I can't even explain it. She helped us make the best decisions for ourselves, not trying to ever upsell us or make us uncomfortable. The mansion is gorgeous and charming, and the Oak reception room is beautiful.

    The day of the wedding was incredible. We were WAY behind schedule, but the maître d' and bridal attendant were kind, patient, helpful, cheerful and overall a wonderful support. While there may have been chaos behind the scenes I didn't know it. They kept everything moving, all while listening to me and my groom to ensure we had the perfect day.

    My guests truly keep bringing up the white glove service. They never had to go to the bar - drinks were constantly brought to them, even outside during the cigar hour. Of course, those who did choose to go to the bar were greeted by excellent bartenders who kept the drinks (including shots) flowing.

    The food -- beyond. Truly delicious, the standard cocktail hour will wow everyone. We're talking a vodka shot ice luge surrounded by caviar, sushi and sashimi, seafood, pizza, pasta, burgers, a whole suckling pig, passed hors d'oeuvres ... it was over the top in the most excellent way.

    Lastly, the grounds. Part of the reason why I picked Shadowbrook is because I wanted a venue that 1) didn't look like the regular hotel ballroom and 2) had outside areas where guests could walk, stroll, or talk in silence away from the party if they wanted. Well, the grounds at Shadowbrook at just that. Fountains, flowers, outside seating, everything you could want. Our guests were pampered and loved the gardens.

    We hope a friend gets married here one day so we can enjoy it all over again!

    Wow! Shadowbrook truly delivered our dream wedding in every single aspect possible. From the start of the wedding planning process to the final moments of the wedding night, the team here goes above and beyond to make every single detail of your wedding perfect. We have Amy and team to thank for that! The venue itself is beautiful, with classic charm and meticulously maintained outdoor gardens. Picture perfect! The staff is beyond professional and outgoing making sure everything is taken care of so that you can enjoy your special day to the fullest, no stress! The food was even better than we imagined it would be. We still have guests commenting on how unbelievable our cocktail and Viennese hours were. The selection and display of it all was magnificent. We highly recommend Shadowbrook to any couple looking for the perfect venue for their perfect day. We can only hope now that we are invited back here as guests so we can experience the magic all over again.
