Everyone at The Grand is PHENOMENAL! We had the most perfect wedding! Everything was flawless! It was a dream come true! They executed every single vision that we had perfectly. It was the best day of our life, and the staff was on point and ready to help with anything!
We are so beyond happy and wish we could relive our wedding over and over again! The Grand will always hold a special place in our hearts. They brought our Disney inspired wedding come true! Jason was AMAZING to work with and plan with! -

Susan Sent on 11/03/2024"Magical Day"
My son and Daughter-in-law were recently married at The Grand, October 26,2024. From the moment we drove up to the venue we were greeted with the utmost care and kindness. It was a beautiful sunny day but a little windy, The staff were concerned about the chilly wind and whisked us inside so we would be more comfortable. The Maitre d , loved his yellow tie! The bridal staff, the hostess staff, all that were involved were professional, attentive and overall amazing. It was truly a dream come true for the couple, their families and friends.The food was incredible, the atmosphere beautiful and overall a truly magical day! Thank you to The Grand for creating such a special day , We are eternally grateful. -

We got married at The Grand on 9/7/24! Best day ever! We worked with Jason from the beginning to the very end. He answered any questions we had throughout the entire process. We fell in love with The Grand right from the beginning and we are so glad we were able to have our wedding there. We got married at a church and we made our way over to The Grand afterwards. We had some rain on and off throughout the day, but we were able to take some beautiful pictures in the bridal suite and in the gardens before cocktail hour. Our pictures came out absolutely beautiful! One of the things we loved about the venue was the... -

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! -

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... -

One word: INCREDIBLE . The staff, the food, the communication, everything was incredible. I had the pleasure of working with Jason since day one he was very attentive and understanding. It took two long years for this day to come and he kept communication down to the days after the wedding. The day of I worked with Mark and Cecilia they were both very patient with me. Cecilia was there every step of the way making sure I was always comfortable. Mark made sure my husbands glass was always full. The food was amazing, all my guest gave it a 10/10 the food did not run out. The entire experience was amazing and I wish we could do it all over again!
See you for our 10 year anniversary 💙 -

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... -

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. -

Tiffany 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 :) -

Giuliana 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!! -

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... -

Meiki Sent on 11/25/2021You have to see this venue in person!
Wedding 11/14/21: We loved our entire experience at The Grand! We booked our day in January 2019 for May 2020 but COVID had other plans for us. General Manager Jason B. worked with us through several postponements until we were finally able to have it this past November 2021. The Grand never gave us a hard time about changing the date and went far beyond our expectations to ensure that we were happy through the entire process. Our guests absolutely loved the food, the service and the aesthetics of the venue. When we chose the venue in 2019, it was going through a transformation from its former name The Bethwood to The Grand and you have to see it... -

Kimberly Sent on 11/07/2021Absolute perfection
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... -

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. -

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... -

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. -

What can we say, but WOW!!! The first moment we stepped into The Grand and met Chris we knew this was our venue! We booked our wedding for august of 2020 and were devastated when we had to postpone it, but Chris and Jason made it so easy! Fast Forward ro Aug 15, 2021 our day finally came!! Chris and Nathalie were the absolute best! Nathalie attended to us so perfectly and was such an angel! The food was incredible, the staff perfect, and the space impeccable! We will have every event at the Grand from now on! If you want a seamless, beautiful affair you MUST book The Grand!!! -

Jillian Sent on 07/27/2021Our wedding was a dream!
I would’ve NEVER wanted to have our special day anywhere else! Literally, everyone has told us that this was the BEST wedding they’ve ever been to and it’s because of the staff, beauty and experience that came along with the grand!
Chris, Jason and Sal were more than we could’ve imagined! They were extremely helpful, especially Jason! We wanted for nothing!
My husband is a chef and wanted to go in for a food tasting before booking. They were so open to it and even better, the food tasted just as amazing the day of our wedding!
If you are looking for a venue that’ll literally knock the socks off, the grand is it!!!! We are so thankful for everything! Our wedding was absolutely FANTASTIC! -

It's been more than three months since our wedding on 10/10/20 and guests are still gushing about how perfect everything was! From the superb service and attentiveness of the staff to the beautify of the venue and the food was just...WOW. We could not have been happier with our venue choice. We worked with Jason at The Grand for two years leading up to our wedding and he is just the best!! Jason was very responsive and accommodating and his guidance through Covid and the options and ways he handled everything, we could not have asked for more! And I have to shout-out Julie, our bridal attendant, she was beyond amazing! (she even packed us a full dinner for... -

Kate Sent on 01/03/2017There is absolutely NOTHING bad I can say about The Bethwood. Sure, in the beginning two of managers ended up quitting and we got the run around, but once we landed Steve Goodman - that was it! He was absolutely amazing! Every single thing we wanted, he gave. Even things my husband and I didn't think of, he had it! He was always available for us - phone, email, whatever! We had BP members from out of state, and he allowed us to come in and look at our rooms whenever we wanted, without any fuss. The food was better than delicious, our Maitre D - Dominic - was a GODSEND, and, since we got ready there, the help... -
