Mrs Z. Sent on 12/26/2023my experience was great
I had a lovely experience- it did not start out that way- but when issues started- Jason and Mark committed to making sure the process was good. My experience was so great and the day before - i was allowed to be in ball room for hours setting up my own things and the free reign Jason and Mark allowed us was appreciated - Each tome we provided requests or feedback we were obliged. One thing i will request - please clean the elevator- my entrance went viral on social media platforms and of course we did not notice on the day of- the glass was disgusting. It definitely should have been cleaned. Otherwise - my experience w the Grand was one that we will
never forget- we hope to use them again in the future. Other than the dirty elevator(glass) there was no stone unturned at the grand- the staff, the food, the cleaniliness and professionalism was a 10! And adrianna - my day of bridal assistance was the absolute best. She assisted me the entire day and she completely committed to being my assistant and was perfect. Thanks to the Grand! -

Choosing The Grand as our wedding venue was one of our best decisions! From start to finish, their professionalism and attention to detail were outstanding. They went above and beyond to make our special day perfect. The quality of their service exceeded our expectations, and their team's friendly demeanor made working with them a joy. Our guests were thoroughly impressed with the delicious food, and we couldn't be happier with the results. Thank you, Jason and Mark, for helping to make our wedding dreams come true! -

Loved every minute!
Just had our wedding on 06/04/2023. Working with Chris was so easy- he was so responsive throughout the whole thing. We were SO blown away at the packages given. Our cocktail hour was the biggest one anyone has been to- guests were able to go outdoors on the balcony and have food and drinks. People are RAVING. We worked with Chris as our coordinator, but day of we had Mark. Mark was amazing!! He made sure everything ran smoothly, and he was so calm and professional at all times. Mark was a rockstar day of. Chris also came to check up on us and was so helpful throughout the whole process. Shoutout to bridal attendant Kim also- there for us at all times and always asked what our favorites are or what else she can do for us. AMAZING 10/10. -

Not really much more that I can say than that everything was perfect. Jason and his incredible staff, especially Chris, exceeded every expectation in every aspect from our first meeting to seeing us off at the end of our night. We looked at many venues, until we visited the Grand, and it quickly became evident that our search had ended. Can't say thank you enough, and please, if you are reading, book this venue! -

My husband and I could not be more satisfied with our wedding venue!! They really care and went above and beyond for us! You could NOT wipe the smile off my face our wedding day. Our cousin is much better with words and had this to say after attending…
“What a party, you guys left no stone unturned. The place was decorated beautiful, the fireworks surrounding your dais were Gucci quality! The food from start to finish was delicious and the booze was top shelf. I went from a cocktail hour filled with shrimp, lobster, and oyster to a beautiful main ballroom where an artist painted a beautiful live portrait of the affair. Awesome menu too, there was something for everyone filet mignon, salmon you name it. Another hi-lite of the evening was when cousin Jose got that beautiful elegant violinist woman to play the Tito Puente ensemble wow! One things for sure it was most definitely the grooms side of the room that offered all the entertainment. Hahaha. I had a blast! All kidding aside it was a beautiful night and I wish you all the best God Bless.” -

Wedding Bliss!
The Grand was an absolute dream come true. From the moment I stepped into the Grand and was greeted by Jason, i knew this was the place that was going to make all my dreams a reality. Jason was AMAZING, he worked with us on every detail, was so friendly and down to earth and even checked in with us on multiple occasions during our wedding day. The level of organization and attentiveness is something i’ve never experienced until this wonderful place! Not only do our guests continue to rave about the food, cocktail hour, atmosphere and overall experience, they rave about how polite and attentive the staff was as well! If you’re looking for a venue to host your special day, look no further! They truly make you feel like you’re apart of the team and I couldn’t have asked for anything better. Sal our Maître d' was heaven sent! He was attentive, always checking in and running around to ensure that everything went off without a hitch and I will forever be grateful for that! I couldn’t have dreamed of a better place to host our special day and I cannot recommend The Grand enough, you will not be disappointed! They really make it such a fairytale experience, with memories to last a lifetime! -

Tiffany A. Sent on 10/11/2022Best Day of my life! Thank you to everyone at The Grand
The Grand exceeded my expectations in every way. It was a dream. It was the most magical night of my life. From the ceremony, to cocktail hour, to the Grand Ballroom with our elevator entrance. It was an experience I will never forget. The location is absolutely beautiful and the staff is an absolute delight. Special thanks to Jason Baldanza, you stuck with us through the pandemic and gave us the wedding of our dreams. You will always be a friend and we are so grateful to you. Joanna and Mark were also amazing and made our day feel seamless and stress free. I would highly recommend The Grand for all special occasions and I will be booking them for future events :) -

Best day of our lives!!!!
I truly do not have enough words for this venue! From the moment we walked in and toured with Jason, we immediately fell in love!!! Not only was Jason & all the staff extremely attentive and always got back to me right away, they made sure my day went perfect. Our day was literally PERFECT! Not ONE hiccup that went wrong. The Grand is gorgeous, the food is incredible (everyone told me how they have never seen a cocktail hour like that), our Maitre’D, bridal attendant, servers bartender Etc. I cannot thank them enough for making our day beyond our wildest dreams!! -

Giuliana C. Sent on 05/21/2022Best venue and staff!
If I could give 10 stars I would! My fiancee and I were a Covid wedding and were forced to push our wedding date several times. Jason and The Grand staff was not only accommodating but extremely considerate of our situation. Jason was phenomenal, honest, understanding and transparent throughout the whole process. I wouldn't be surprised if this venue ends up being the premiere spot for a wedding in NJ! If you are looking to book The Grand for your big day DO IT! Thank you Jason and The Grand staff for going up and beyond for us!! -

I had my wedding at the Grand and they exceeded all of my expectations! It was truly my dream wedding. The cocktail hour was amazing with delicious food and people are still talking about that amazing elevator entrance! The entire staff was so great to work with- especially Jason, who worked with us throughout the entire experience, answering every question I had right away and giving us our dream wedding! I would highly recommend The Grand for any and all special occasion you may have. I will definitely be booking them in the future. -

Jen Sent on 04/02/2022Amazing!!!
I got married here this past March of 2022. I have nothing but amazing things to say. First and foremost, if you have the chance you absolutely must meet/and or work with Sal. He was basically the equivalent of hiring a wedding planner and was available at any time to answer questions, give suggestions and went above and beyond to make our wedding special.
The venue itself is gorgeous, my niece still refers to our wedding as "the ball". And honestly because the venue itself was so lavish and beautiful we didn't have to stress about DIYs or decorations. We went with simple flower centerpieces and the room did the rest. The next most important thing to us was the food. It was delicious and there was so much variety! Also would highly recommend the Viennese room, amazing!
Planning a wedding was super stressful but The Grand and all the staff really worked with us along the way to customize things to our taste and meet our cultural needs for the event and actually delivered on all their promises. Can't say enough good things about this venue (and Sal) and neither could our guests!

The Ultimate Wedding Venue
Where do I begin... The Grand is the ultimate package when it comes to wedding venues. We could not be happier with our experience.
We planned our whole wedding from across the country in California and Jason made the entire process incredibly easy. It was like we were local the entire time. Jason was around for the full event on the day of, making sure everything was moving smoothly and we had everything we needed. The rest of the staff also went above and beyond to ensure everyone was having the best time. Specifically, our bridal attendant, Celeste was absolutely amazing. She made sure we were taken care of all day long.
Our guests have repeatedly said our wedding was the best one they've ever been too. Some even said they were stuffed for days after the amount of food that was offered. The cocktail hour, the dinner, and the Viennese table far exceeded our expectations. And to top it all off, the staff packed up left overs for my wife and I to enjoy the next day. Which was exceptionally thoughtful as we were too busy to eat much during the actual day.
If you trust the Grand to host your wedding, you will not be disappointed. They truly understand what it means to organize and put on the perfect wedding. The facilities are breathtaking that there's so many places for photos. We would do it all over again if we could because it was so easy and enjoyable! Thank you to everyone at the Grand for giving us the most perfect day! -

Best Wedding Ever!
The Grand is the BEST wedding venue. Our wedding was an absolute dream because of The Grand. We had an earlier ceremony & reception (11:30am start time) & everything The Grand dealt with went so smoothly. We worked with Jason from the very beginning & he really went above & beyond for us. I am Active Duty & got stationed in Virginia halfway through wedding planning & Jason was so so helpful. He was available for every phone call, question, & whenever our parents needed to swing by because we were unable to. Jason is such a kind man; he is beyond exceptional. On our wedding day, we had Sal as our maitre'd & he is also beyond exceptional. Any bumps or hiccups that may have happened during the day, we were unaware of it because of Sal's attention to detail & quickness. He made sure we were happy & well taken care of throughout the day. Sal was a highlight of our wedding day. Without Sal & Jason, our wedding day would not have been as remarkable as it was.
While The Grand is a beautiful venue with fantastic staff, its food is out of this world. We were so blown away at the spreads & quality of food. Many guests thought cocktail hour was the reception because of how grand it was. Our guests could not stop raving about their experience. We are so grateful for the grand & already thinking about what other events we can have there! We recommend The Grand a million times over to everyone. The Grand is the best, without a single doubt. -

We worked with Sal at The Grand and he made every dream come true! This man answered every text and phone call I sent him and was always so helpful, kind, funny, and cheerful. We postponed our wedding from last year and he made the process a breeze.
The venue itself is absolutely GORGEOUS and such an absolute dream to get married at. From the outdoor ceremony space to the cocktail room to the grand ballroom, every space is something out of a fairytale. Marble floors, opulent chandeliers, just absolutely gorgeous and timeless.
One week after our wedding, we are still getting texts and calls about how amazing the food was. One guest described the cocktail hour as "Disneyworld for food". There were just so many options, and all were unique and incredible (even reheating the to-go boxes they made for us the next day since we missed much of it!). The dinners were also fabulous (we had either filet mignon, chicken, or salmon) and everyone loved them and is still talking about them. We also had a fun jack-o-lantern ice sculpture on display, courtesy of The Grand, and for fun, Sal threw a batman mask onto our suckling pig (it was a Halloween wedding and we really wanted to have some fun with it)
My day-of bridal attendant, Carolina, at The Grand was also so wonderful and kind. She was by my side for everything I could have ever needed, whether it was to help pin my veil or grab a glass of water (or run upstairs and grab some food from the cocktail hour for us haha). Such a lovely person
If you are looking for a breathtaking venue with the best food around, and extremely organized, professional, and accommodating staff, look no further! -

Do Not Sleep On This Venue.
We had our wedding in September 2021. Days later our guests are still talking about this event. The cocktail hour impressed everyone, it was not only a beautiful place, they also have delicious food. The day of the wedding everything worked so well, 100% on professionalism. Thank you Jason and your team, you truly made this wedding fantastic. Exceeded our expectations. We are so happy we choose this venue for our wedding, We wouldn't change a thing. -

We were originally going to get married somewhere else but heard they were closing and needed to find a new venue. I am so glad we find The Grande. We spoke to Sal who was also our Matre D. He was answered all our questions and of course we were one of those weddings who were postponed twice. We lucky out with the weather so we can have an outdoor ceremony. They just remodeled our room we had our wedding in. Our guest still talk about the venue and the food. Also I was not expecting the bridal suite to have champagne and food. Also our bridal suite assistant Julia was great as well. She made sure I had everything and that my drink was always full. -

Meg Sent on 10/14/2021MUST HIRE! Absolutely AMAZING venue & employees
OMGG please go see this venue. I know there are countless beautiful venues, but Jason really sold us and we're grateful we booked here. From day one, we could tell that everyone at The Grand genuinely cares for each couple. We reached out to Jason countless times during COVID with concerns and he was always so reassuring/helpful. No matter how big or small the question was, Jason was always there. He made planning a wedding so less stressful because he created such trust with him and his staff. They seriously go above and beyond to make you happy!!!!! Day of we worked with Sal and Julia. They were both AMAZING. We didn't have anything to worry about the entire night. They were there to help us the entire night and were absolutely wonderful to work with. Our guests were in love with the venue (it's absolutely gorgeous), but couldn't believe how attentive, quick, and professional the staff was. We also did the grand entrance and it's totally worth it (the bride and groom are introduced in an elevator coming up from the floor). Everyone is still talking about the entrance, the grand, and how wonderful the staff is.
