Samantha Sent on 12/01/2025We LOVE The Madison!
My fiancé and I are getting married at The Madison on 10.10.2026, and I truly could not be more impressed with this venue and their team. Even though our big day is still ahead, the experience so far has been absolutely flawless.
From the moment we toured the space, we felt welcomed, supported, and genuinely cared for. The Madison’s staff is incredibly professional, detail-oriented, and always quick to answer any questions I have (and trust me, I have plenty!). They’ve made the planning process feel smooth, organized, and exciting instead of stressful.
The venue itself is stunning — elegant, spacious, and beautifully maintained. You can tell they take pride in every event they host. I already feel confident that our wedding day is going to be everything we’ve dreamed of and more.
If you’re considering The Madison for your wedding, I 100% recommend them. Their service, communication, and atmosphere are unmatched. We can’t wait to celebrate our special day here! 💍✨ -

The Madison made our wedding day seamless and breathtaking. Everything down to the decor set-up, service, food, etc. was perfect. Thomas did a wonderful job as our wedding coordinator. All staff were professional and personable. We loved everything about this venue!The Madison's reply:

The team of professionals at The Madison is second to none. Justin was professional, kind, and very courteous. Working with Allison, Jessica, and Kailey was a pure joy. As an event professional, working with a group of people who truly enjoy their jobs gives me pleasure.The Madison's reply:

My husband got married January 6th 2024 and this venue was the venue of our dreams. We met with Thomas in November of 2022 and from that moment on we knew this venue was our venue. The staff is AMAZING. There is no words to express how amazing all the staff is from the kitchen staff, the servers, bartenders, and bridal assistants. There also is no words to express how amazing Thomas was except for he was the best "Franck" to my Father of The Bride wedding dreams. The food was wonderful, the drinks were amazing, the decor was immaculate. I could go on for days about this venue. I recommended this venue to everyone. Thomas even allowed for us to retake pictures since our 1/2 year old son was asleep during the ceremony (which Thomas sat in the bridal suite with him and watched Bluey when he woke up halfway through). Thank you for making my wedding dreams come to life and being so amazing.
Love, The BrooksThe Madison's reply:
WE LOVE YOUR LOVE!! If we could do it all over again, WE WOULD!!! So much of this wedding was just perfection because of your amazing vision. AMAZING wedding to host and start of the new year PERFECTLY!! Looking forward to seeing all of your success together in the future!! -

Wonderful!!!
We had our wedding here 5/19 and I cannot say enough good things about this place. Every member of the staff from the event coordinators to the servicing staff to the bartenders are so kind and welcoming. The venue is absolutely beautiful in all areas. My family could not get over how DELICIOUS and plentiful the food was and the cocktails were phenomenal. I had Kailey as my event coordinator and she is so incredibly kind and patient and detailed! Sarah was the assistant coordinator the day of the wedding and she was on top of everything. I had Megan as my bridal assistant for the day and Megan took away any worries or anxieties I had. She was on top of all of my needs and kept my water filled, she steamed my dress and veil for me, and she corresponded with the groomsmen for me when they arrived later. She was my fairy godmother! I really could go on and on about everyone at the Madison. Whoever you end up with (Thomas is also a GEM) you are going to feel so taken care of. Highly highly HIGHLY recommend!!The Madison's reply:
Thank you for your positive review! We loved hosting your wedding. We cannot wait to see all of the pictures, please share some when you can!!! Thanks for shouting out Kailey, she is a hard worker and we want to keep her here as long as possible. Sarah & Megan are a dynamic dup they both have been with us for a few years and they just know how to make your worries and fears disappear. THANK YOU!!! -

The team at The Madison and Thomas, in particular, were exceptional. The venue's beauty was breathtaking, and its cleanliness was without fault. The culinary experience was a highlight, with dishes that transcended traditional event food, both in presentation and quality. Thomas, a true professional, made the planning process a breeze with his patience, knowledge, and helpfulness. The service received from Immanuel, Edward and the staff on the night of was flawless, and every staff member went above and beyond to ensure our guests felt welcomed and cared for. A big thank you to everyone for making this milestone event so memorable.The Madison's reply:
YOU WERE AMAZING to work with!! The photos that came out also just showcased how beautiful your family is. I cannot wait to see your vision for when your daughter gets married one day (in the far future lol). -

Patricia Sent on 12/27/2023My husband and I wanted to give our daughter A memorable Sweet 16! The Madison was the best venue to celebrate this moment.
The room is beautiful. The seating plan was on point as well as the decor such as napkins and table settings in addition to the centerpieces. We chose A young adult menu for the teens and entrees for the adults (filet mignon, chicken and fish). All of our guests loved the food. The staff was very accommodating and kept the night on focus with announcements for dinner, cake cutting and desserts. I highly recommend the Madison.The Madison's reply:
WE CANNOT THANK YOU ENOUGH!! This was a beautiful day and we would love to do it all over again!! We hope to see you again in the future for other monumental events. -

April Sent on 12/11/2023The Madison Mastered The Art of Happily Ever After
Nothing but the ABSOLUTE BEST from our first visit to The Madison, through the planning, and ultimately our wedding day!
Thomas has it covered.. that is all you need to rest assured with! His charisma, organization, and expertise leaves the bride & groom with a sense of calm.
And Megan! Oh Megan. Your wedding day arrives, and you do not have to ask for a thing. She just magically is always standing there, handing you a drink, having your food ready, anything! I literally never had to think that day!
The venue is beautiful, the staff is amazing, food is delicious - there is not one thing left undone. This place has mastered the art of making the perfect beginning to "Happily Ever After".The Madison's reply:
YOU and GARY deserve nothing less than Happily Ever After! You had such a beautiful day and I only wish we could work together more!! -

What can I say? The Madison hands down, was the real deal. I was left speechless as was my Husand and our guests on how everything was set up, to the amazing food, the attentiveness, to everything imaginable. The entire staff of the Madison were beyond amazing. I whole heartily recommend the Madison to anyone and everyone. -

Alicia Sent on 10/07/2023Incredible venue and incredible food!!
This venue was absolutely incredible !! The food was phenomenal and a week later I am still having people contact us to tell us how good the food was and how amazing the wedding was. I know people probably think reviewers are biased when making statements like the food being good, but I was actually so impressed. I usually don’t typically like main meals at weddings, but this one I can honestly say the food was sooo good and would 100% go back to eat it many times haha I personally had the slow braised short rib and legit melted in your mouth, it was so good
Everyone had a legit blast! Honestly, it is 100% because of Thomas. He was on his A game and legit had every detail on point from the point of booking down to the day of wedding details. He is super organized and was always quick to answering my many many questions LOL. I would have legit been lost in planning if it weren’t for him. I really highly recommend booking the Madison. The venue is so beautiful, the food is beyond amazing, and the staff will make your planning and wedding day go smoothly down to every detail.

Best Day Ever!
We just had our wedding at The Madison in May and it was the most amazing day! It was all possible thanks to the staff at The Madison. Thomas, our coordinator, took our experience to the next level, with his attention to detail and passion for what he does. He had quick and thoughtful responses to any silly questions I had, and he made my wedding day perfect. Everyone that works there is friendly and great at their job. The food was amazing! Everyone RAVED about cocktail hour, and we opted to add their food truck at the end of the night, which was a big hit. I don't think our day would have been as amazing at any other venue. Would highly recommend! -

Kristin Sent on 01/24/2023An amazing gem of a venue. Highly recommend!
We had our wedding here in Dec 2022 and it was AMAZING. This venue is really a gem and we’re so happy we found it. Thomas was wonderful and made the planning process easy. Everything ran smoothly the day of and Thomas and Kailey even helped drive our kids down the aisle. 10/10 would recommend this wedding venue to anyone! -

Lindsey Sent on 11/02/2022If we had to do it all over again we would 100% pick The Madison.
I can't say enough wonderful things about The Madison.
From the beginning we had a great feeling about The Madison. They were the first venue that we met with that provided upfront pricing. Most venues give you a price that doesn't include tax or gratuity so you don't even realize you are over budget before you even start.
They were welcoming, helpful, and clearly experts in their field. We fell in love with the BEAUTIFUL outside fire place and gave the deposit on the spot.
We originally booked with another wedding coordinator who had left, but The Madison immediately reached out with our new contact's information. Thomas quickly followed up with an email introducing himself and we fell IN LOVE.
Thomas is warm, welcoming, hilarious, and completely adorable. He answered all of our emails in a timely fashion, made a lot of valuable suggestions, and answered all of our questions. During our rehearsal our entire wedding party could not stop complementing how funny, warm, and relatable Thomas was. One of my bridesmaids was so jealous she didn't have a Thomas at her wedding. Even if we didn't fall in love with the outside space we would book solely for Thomas.
For our tasting we had the pleasure of meeting Jake and having him as our server. By the end of our tasting, my mom was asking Jake his schedule to ensure that he would be at my wedding. He knew so much about the food, was extremely helpful with our selections, was personable, and funny. We found out that Jake's mom also works at the venue and we hoped they would be at our wedding.
Luckily they both were and they were FANTASTIC. All of the staff of The Madison the night of our wedding were truly incredible. From giving us a little moment in the bridal suite after the ceremony to ensure we eat, drink, and spend a little time alone together to making sure we had everything we needed all night long. They truly made us feel like absolute rockstars.
If we had to do it all over again we would 100% pick The Madison. -

Adrianna Sent on 09/16/2022The people you hire make a difference!
This is going to be a longer review because I cannot express how different and amazing of an experience we had with The Madison. There were three things that mattered when we went to visit a venue: the place looked nice, the food was good, and the people were people who would have your back if anything went wrong. The Madison is gorgeous, the food is incredible, and Jessica, Kailey, and Thomas are exactly who you want for your wedding! We got so many compliments during and after our reception!
Once we restarted our wedding planning (thank you Covid), we were planning on having a less than 100-person wedding. Many places told us they couldn’t accommodate such a small wedding because we wouldn’t meet their “minimum amount spent.” Other places that still let us visit had managers that were rude or inconsiderate. They also did not seem to care if Covid could again interrupt it. Then I spoke with Jessica. Everything was a confident “Yes, we can accommodate that” or “don’t worry, we have plans in place.” She made me feel important even with a small wedding and was always quick to respond.
When we went to tour the Madison, we met with Kailey. She was so great! She was warm and funny and made us feel welcome. She answered all our questions quickly. I was already impressed with how beautiful the place was when she showed us the Décor closet that housed many things that we could use without having to purchase or pay a rental fee! We had gone in thinking that The Madison might have been a little out of our budget but the fact that they could save us so much money in décor alone helped. Kailey continued to have great communication after meeting us and made us feel confident that we were making the right decision. Also, she made some of the signs for our reception and they were so cute!
A few months before the wedding, we started talking with Thomas about the food and coordination. He even walked me through how the ceremony should go even though we were having it elsewhere! Thomas is so incredibly helpful! He has great recommendations, is quick to come up with solutions, extremely reassuring, and very accessible. When we had some issues with our final guest count, he helped me to relax and figure it out. He made sure we were going to be thrilled with our food, that everything would look nice, and be exactly how we wanted it. I never once felt pressured to do something one way or like I would have to compromise on anything. Thomas met with me two days before when I dropped off our things and carefully went over it with a list to not only make sure we had it all, but so he would know exactly what went back home with us. On the actual day of, Thomas set out food and drinks for us to have some alone time before joining the party. He handled any issues that came up, including with my veil and bustle, and our cake topper falling over (which was actually pretty funny). EVERYONE told us how kind and entertaining he was and they were impressed by how he kept things moving without being pushy or rude. He really made sure everything would be perfect. Thomas even made us some to-go boxes from our late-night cravings bar!
Lastly, the Madison itself is absolutely beautiful. It’s clean and everything is well maintained, especially the little waterfall area. The menu was so customized to our tastes and everyone enjoyed their meals!
If you’re thinking about the Madison, DO IT! It is worth every single penny spent! -

So we looked at The Madison because it came by word of mouth, but it was literally the best decision ever! Thomas was the most amazing person and was so helpful with everything and anything we needed to make our wedding happen. Simple beautifully done and I honestly didn’t give him much to work with, but Thomas really made it happen! Glorious!!! -

The Best Wedding Venue!
Marcus and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The Madison made everything so easy, and special. From the second we walked through the door, Jessica and Thomas were welcoming and so accommodating. Jessica made everything so easy. From answering my silly questions to even helping us decide on decor. Don’t overlook this place for your wedding. It’s literally everything and more and I can’t thank the staff at the Madison enough for making our day perfect! -

Party of the century!
I have to take a deep breath in writing this review as I am still mesmerized by the outcome of my daughter’s wedding at The Madison. When we started this journey of finding a venue we were looking for a location that did only one wedding a day, was small but elegant and was reasonably priced. We went to various places but none hit all our demands like The Madison. Our first contact at The Madison was with Jessica Crespo. I outlined my thoughts and asked if they could work with it. And in Jessica’s professional and lovable manner she said yes. And she began to outline what we could do to make the day special. After months of planning, through COVID shut down, military deployment and family illness, The Madison continued to support us when the wedding date needed to be changed. During this time of transition from one wedding date to another, Thomas Stanimirov joined the team of planning our event with Jessica. What can I say as the combination of Thomas and Jessica provided the one two punch that vaulted our wedding in a direction that exceeded my original plans and expectations. On October 15th, 2021, after more than 2 years of planning it all came together. We were blessed with unseasonal weather and The Madison provided a breathtaking backdrop to our daughter’s candlelight wedding. When I arrived I was in tears as the venue had been transformed into a picture perfect setting that was beyond any words that I could formulate. The food was outstanding, the staff was exceptional (kudos to Brenda for holding down the bar) and at the end of the night we wished we could do it all again. You know your party was impressive when guests text you the next day saying thank you for inviting us to your wedding. The groom who is not easily impressed says it was THE PARTY OF THE CENTURY!
The Madison went above and beyond in helping us with this wedding and in many cases they were addressing issues that technically did not fall under your job description. This is an amazing place and quite frankly a hidden gem of a venue. I will continue to sing your praises and will recommend your venue to anyone looking for a special location. -

Adrianna Sent on 01/29/2022December Wedding of our Dreams!
Our wedding was December 10th,2021 (postponed from December 11th,2020). Our experience with Jess and her team was seamless! From the very beginning, we felt comfortable with our decision to choose the Madison. When booking our wedding, we were faced with the uncertainty of being able to have our wedding on the original date that chose due to the pandemic and she assured us that no matter what happens, it will be the most special day and she stuck to her word. Jess was very responsive and offered many different options to meet our vision and budget. The entire night of our wedding, we were bombarded with compliments about the food and drinks especially our cocktail hour. Our reception room was absolutely magical! Jess and her team along with our florist (Petal Pushers) decorated it perfectly. We had a medical emergency at our wedding involving a family member and she and her team handled the situation perfectly. They were attentive, checked in with my husband and I, and checked in with the vendors to make sure that once things were settled, the party would continue. We cannot recommend the Madison enough for your special day! Thank you so much for making our day as magical as it should be, we wish we could relive the day over and over! -

Great setting, people, and price!!!
We got married at the Madison in September 2021. Everything was set up beautifully, and we had an incredible time. Also, Thomas was very helpful and on top of things the day of my wedding! They were also very flexible with their packages if you do not want alcohol or other dietary changes. It's a beautiful location for pictures, and they will treat you well on your special day!! I recommend the Madison to anyone looking in South Jersey! -

Exactly what we wanted!
I knew from the moment I stepped in the doors to tour the Madison that we would be booking our wedding day there. And I am extremely glad we did! My husband and I were not interested in a big ballroom wedding. The Madison matched our vibe perfectly! The team at the Madison executed our big day with such ease. I couldn’t be happier with how everything went! Not an oopsie or snag whatsoever in the day. Jessica and Thomas are both so amazing at what they do! I literally feel like I was planning a wedding with friends I have known for years. With every crazy cancellation or Covid restriction, Jessica was there for everything and anything I needed. She answered every question I had (and boy I had a lot) & was there whenever I needed her. I cannot thank her enough! Thomas was so amazing at coordinating the day so much so that guests are STILL mentioning to me how much they all loved him. And for good reason! From the moment I met him I knew I was in the right hands. I wish I could have him coordinate my life. Thank you to everyone at the Madison! We are so lucky to have had you be apart of our big day! Everyone do yourselves a favor & book with the Madison! -

The best staff
The madison is the first and only venue I visited. From the first visit with Jessica I knew it was perfect. Jessica was so warm and inviting. She is one of the nicest people I ever dealt with. The space was perfect, they were all so accommodating ( I’m the case of covid being an issue) and I love the story behind the owner and this venue.
Thomas was also an angel. He was my day of planner and from the moment we met we were instant friends. He kept everyone in line and the day moving smoothly. I loved everyone so much I emailed them afterward and told them how much I was gona miss them! -

We had our ceremony and reception at The Madison. It was a little more than three months from booking to wedding. Thomas and Kailey supported us along the way. They were great and no written review will do it justice. Food was excellent and every guest said so. The price was great and included so much with none of them being anything short of high quality. Cake was included in the price and our choice to work directly with the bakery. The signature drink was perfect and the bartenders were friendly and accessible. -

Tiffany Sent on 12/17/2021Book The Madison!
We are so happy we chose The Madison for our wedding. It was seriously the easiest and best decision we made during the wedding planning process. I would consider it to be an all-inclusive type of wedding venue without being overpriced - the value is worth every penny! Especially considering the fact that they set up, decorate, and tear down everything for you is so so helpful, do not underestimate how much work it is. It truly felt like the Madison staff took care of everything day of! Working with Jess, then Thomas was so easy! They are so sweet and definitely care about you having the best day possible. Our friends and family are still telling us over a month later that the venue was so beautiful and unique, the food was great, and Thomas was the best. Definitely consider The Madison for your wedding!

Thomas was the most amazing energetic wedding coordinator ever! He made our special day that much better. He was always there to talk to and never minded how many questions we had. At the end of the night he even spent a little time to celebrate with us on the dance floor. Everyone there was talking about how amazing and helpful he was!!! -

My husband and I are so, so happy we chose to have our July 31st wedding at The Madison! Each and every team member at The Madison contributed to our perfect wedding and reception. A special shout-out goes to Thomas for being simply awesome! As a planner, I started worrying about the flow of our wedding and reception. At our rehearsal, Thomas eased all of my worries with his easy-going but professional spirit. He was within arms-reach as he guided us in cutting our multi-layer, three-flavored cake from DiBartolo's which was delicious and garnered rave reviews from our guests as did the venue and our decor. I would be remiss if I didn't mention the special lady who grabbed a root beer from The Madison's food truck just for me. Thank you!
We are so appreciative of the amazing staff at The Madison who were professional, respectful, and accommodating in helping to make our day unforgettable. So unforgettable in fact, we'd do it all over again! -

The Madison was an exceptional choice for our rescheduled wedding. My husband and I were on the fence with holding a renewal ceremony since our original wedding date had to be postponed. We were so happy with our choice to hold the event. I can not say enough good things about this venue - from their flexibility to their effort to get to know you personally, we felt completely taken care of on our day.

Despite the limitations from covid, my wife and I both felt that we were in great hands and that was true from start to finish. I've heard people usually remember two things from a wedding ceremony, for us it was our vows and the venue that everyone raved about. That included great food, great ambiance, and smooth prompt service. We loved the Madison! -

Beat decision we made !
My husband and I got married here on 4/11/2021, we originally were going to get married at a Cescaphe venue in Philly, but with PA having tighter restrictions we stumbled upon this incredible venue and made our wedding happen! THOMAS was absolutely amazing and helped us plan a wedding in 5 WEEKS! He is friendly, professional, always available, flexible and full of ideas. Jessica and Bianca also were great and helped us along the way. The staff were super nice, guests are still talking about the cocktail hour. I got so many compliments the night of the wedding, asking how I found this beautiful venue! This was the best decision we could have made to move our wedding to The Madison, best day of my life ! -

Love love love. Bianca and Thomas AMAZING. Covid had our original wedding cancelled and they pulled our wedding together in 10 days. I did NOT want to reschedule, but one we walked to them and I realized how easy they were going to make it, I was 100% in.
Every single person said they could not believe it was last minute planned and they would have thought it was original venue.
Can’t say enough how awesome they were. -

Megan Sent on 12/06/2020The best wedding venue out there!
We had our wedding on 11/21/20 and it was the most perfect and magical day of our lives! We fell in love with the beautiful courtyard with the fireplace and bistro lights for our ceremony. The reception was outdoors under the tent. The tent has bistro lights and they did an outstanding job setting it up! Jessica was helpful, organized, and flexible while planning a wedding during a pandemic. Her attention to detail and insight helped to make our day better than we ever imagined. Thomas is also an asset to the team and was extremely organized and helpful on the day of our wedding. We had a brunch wedding and the food was to die for! Many guests shared that the food was the best they ever had at a wedding! The tables outside in the tent were spaced out and everyone felt safe. We will never be able to thank Jessica, Thomas, and the entire staff at The Madison for everything they did to make our wedding the best day ever!!! -

The perfect venue for the perfect evening. The staff, the venue, the everything was perfect. Working with Jessica and Thomas was like having two fairy godmothers. If I called jessica or emailed she was always there to reassure and or help fix the issue. You would think with Covid she wouldn’t have time but not once did she make me feel unimportant to her pressing brides. Thomas was an Angel my day of. If I didn’t have a husband I would’ve fell in love with him. Even the staff helped when I needed a guest tended to. If you’re second guessing working with them, DON’T. Great food, great places for on site photos, and great staff. -

If you are looking for a wedding to delivery everything you want from start to finish you have to go see Jessica and her team at The Madison. They are phenomenal! Hands down, my wife and I just got married 10/17 and we loved everything. Thomas is a delight and made sure the night went off without any issues. Julie was awesome during the day when my wife was getting ready and refilling beverages and making sure everyone was happy. Jessica from the first time we met her to the day of our wedding never missed a beat, she’s quick to respond to emails and never gets tired of hearing from you! She’s so professional and personable to make sure that our wedding was everything we wanted and more. Diane is a rockstar too, she was there for the rehearsal dinner, jumping in helping her team and the night of the wedding. The Madison has such a great team and treat each other with so much respect that it shows in the work they put forth when it comes to your special day. Words can’t describe how happy we were with this venue. It was beyond perfect! -

Best Day Ever!! Highly Recommend!
We had our wedding on February 16, 2020 at The Madison and words can't express how magical our day was. From the minute we saw The Madison we fell in love with it.
Jessica throughout the whole process was always checking in with us. Any questions I had she responded quickly and just so kind and patient. On our wedding day Jessica and Julie both went out of there way to make sure everything was perfect for us! They both are amazing!!
Our guest for the entire night kept coming up to us and for weeks after could not stop complimenting the food, the staff, the atmosphere and how amazing our wedding was and we owe that all to The Madison and all the staff that helped us throughout our wedding! I wish I could give it 10 stars! -

Bryan Sent on 12/31/2019The Madison Review - Highly Recommended!
We had our wedding at The Madison on October 6, 2019 and it truly was the perfect venue for us and our guests!
The first thing I saw when I went to check out The Madison was their courtyard and instantly knew this was where I wanted to say "I Do"! We had our ceremony outside in their beautiful courtyard in front of the fireplace. It was so romantic and exactly what I envisioned when I walked down the aisle. We also had our first look in the courtyard and it was the perfect spot for this as well because it was such a beautiful moment that was private, but our bridal party and family got to catch a glimpse through the doors, which they loved and we loved, too!
The bridal suite offered a great space for me to finish getting ready in, quickly freshen up during the night or use the private bathroom and also give me and my new hubby some time to chat privately and relax for a little before we had our ceremony.
All of our guests said the food and drinks were amazing! They loved cocktail hour, devouring all the bacon wrapped scallops and mac and cheese bites they could get their hands on and loved how much room and ample seating they had to enjoy the cocktail hour. This was definitely something I took into account before booking because I hate when you go to a wedding and want to enjoy cocktail hour but have no where to sit and eat. Our guests also loved the 3-course dinner and had a choice of 3 options as the main course, which was great! Our signature drinks were movie-themed from our favorite movies, Anchorman and The Big Lebowski, and they nailed it with our requests for a scotch-based cocktail and white Russian!
We would also like to give a HUGE shout out to Jessica, our wedding coordinator for The Madison! She. is. AMAZING. She was so easy to email with back and forth leading up to the wedding, always swift responses and so helpful with any questions or concerns we had! On our wedding day, she took all of my decor and arranged it beautifully! She was always there if I needed to ask her something or need a drink to steal my nerves haha. She is such a wonderful person to work with and truly made our wedding day carefree. We really can't thank her enough for everything she did for us.
Looking back on our wedding day, we think of how everyone kept coming up to us during the night to rave about how beautiful the venue is and how they never heard of it before coming here for our wedding and was absolutely was blown away by the venue as a whole. It made us so happy to see them fall in love with The Madison just like we did when we first walked in. The venue was just so "us" and we are so happy we chose it for our wedding day. If you're looking for a venue that is beautiful both inside and outside, with all its swankiness and warmth, The Madison is it! It's a south jersey wedding venue hidden gem! Thank you so much for having us!

We got married on 8/17/2019 at The Madison. From beginning to end it was a 10 out of 10. I had visited many venues with family (husband worked strange hours). The Madison was the 1st venue he visited with me and fell in love immediately.
The Madison is over an hour away from where we live but that did not sway us at all. We were slightly hesitant that people would not show due to the distance but quickly dissolved the thought as we knew the drive would be worth it.
My experience was nothing short of amazing through and through. Jessica and Julie are 2 of the most amazing people I've ever encountered. They were a pleasure to work with from day 1. They constantly checked in and sent me reminders/to do lists to ensure nothing was missed and was all squared away before the big day. Whenever I felt stressed or unsure they would jump into action assuring me everything would work itself out. They helped out with a number of tasks that were not asked of them or required. I felt very comfortable and relaxed with them. Jessica and Julie went above and beyond to bring my vision to life. We were able to literally utilize the venue from sunup to sundown. Our makeup literally began at 8am. Makeup was in the wine cellar which is absolutely stunning.
Our family and friends were in complete awe of The Madison and the service received.
The food (cocktail and sit down dinner) and drinks were top notch.
Everyone loved the courtyard ceremony area and the fireplaces.
They let me make a number of modifications to our food and drink selections and executed them PERFECTLY. I couldn't have been more satisfied.
Jessica was a pue god send on the day of the wedding.
Her energy was contagious and dedication was unexplainable.
She arrived bright and early to the venue to begin helping with last minute tasks.
Jessica took control and got down to business and business she meant.
She’s AWESOME an actual modern day WONDER WOMAN!
Jess wrapped up all of our food and some desserts from our Viennese table as she realized neither of us had eaten anything. THANK GOD SHE DID BECAUSE WE WERE STARVING AT THE END LOL.
Online photos do NOT do The Madison justice. It needs to be seen up close and personal to take in all the beauty it has to offer. It is truly a hidden gem. We could not have made a better choice. Our day was absolutely perfect, from the pre ceremony festivities down to the reception.
Sending a huge THANK YOU to everyone at The Madison.
We appreciate that you all help to make our special day that much more SPECIAL.
XOXO Mr. & Mrs. Smith -

8/10/19 Perfect Wedding!
I cannot think of one negative thing to say about our experience with The Madison. My husband and I got married on Saturday August 10th, 2019. We booked the venue in January, eight months prior. It was the first and only venue we visited. Not only is it beautiful and unique, but the pricing is extremely reasonable. The food is delicious! All of the appetizers were homemade, not frozen! The garnish and display made it look gourmet. Food was awesome, the DiBartolo’s cake was included, and we did not have to pay for the bar for any guest under 21. The meals were all picked by my guests the night of the event. No mail in meal cards. Super accommodating for allergies and kid meals.
The Madison was stocked with decorations of all kinds. We could pick out anything we wanted to use at no extra charge. They even did the decorating for us! Julie and Jessica were both a pleasure to work with. Both of the ladies did every job possible – I saw them both serving dinner, cake, drinks, tending the bridal suite, managing the ceremony, controlling ceremony music, and even fluffing the train of my dress just moments before I walked down the aisle. They were at The Madison before I got there, and did not leave until well after the wedding was over. Anything we asked, they graciously provided. The day would not have been the same without them. 100% Service.
Anytime I emailed Julie or Jess, they would answer immediately. They had us come in 2 or 3 times for planning meetings. Leaving each meeting, we were more excited and less stressed than when we first came in. They sat with us for hours answering any questions we had and giving us tips.
The guests and I give rave reviews for how neat the ceremony space was. The outdoor courtyard with the string lights was the exact type of ambiance we were looking for when first booking. They will accommodate an indoor ceremony at no extra charge for poor weather conditions. Bathrooms are modern and super clean. The staff all around could not have been more nice.
I have recommended and will continue to recommend this venue to anyone I speak with. It really was a pleasure working with Julie and Jessica in making our perfect day.

Would HIGHLY Recommend!
Booking our wedding through the Madison was the BEST decision we made! Jess and her team made everything so easy and were on top of every detail from start to finish! I can definitely be a bit of a control freak, but every team member was timely in responding to e-mails or phone calls and made us feel confident that everything was under control. Jess was SO helpful in getting all of the decor organized leading up to the wedding and the entire team made our visions come to life exactly as we wanted for the day of. We got married in early October and the outside fireplace made for an absolutely beautiful backdrop for our ceremony as well as photos! We received so many compliments from our guests about how beautiful the venue was and how amazing the food was! During our reception Jess made sure we had everything we needed at all times, whether it was a refill on our drinks, a plate of hors d'oeuvres during cocktail hour or even wrapping up our dinner entrees in to go boxes since we were having too much fun to sit down and enjoy it (oops!) We wish we could relive our day over again and would highly recommend this venue to anyone! -

We got married 9/28/19 and it truly was the best day of our lives. We booked the venue without having visited in person as we lived across the country at the time. It may seem silly, but the gorgeous oval back chairs for the ceremony and reception initially attracted me to the venue (I am not a fan of the tyical chiavari wedding chairs). We were a little nervous throughout the beginning of the booking process but once we met Jessica, everything changed. There are not enough words to express the gratitude we have for her. She helped walk us through the day-of planning (we were a bit clueless on some things) and her experience and suggestions were so helpful! We booked the wine cellar for the girls to get ready in and it was absolutely perfect. We were able to bring our own food and mimosas etc. and our hair and makeup artists had everything they needed in there (mirrors, outlets, space, chairs, etc.). Jessica was there bright and early in the morning helping to set things up and she made sure we had everything we needed. We took our photographs at The Madison and in walkable locations and we are SO glad we did this; the pictures all turned out PERFECTLY. The only thing I wish we thought of was to get the outdoor fireplace on during our pictures (we had it on for the ceremony and it was unbelievably beautiful). When we had our tasting, the food was good but honestly we weren't WOWed by anything. However, at the wedding, EVERY single thing was ABSOLUTELY OUTSTANDING. I was still getting compliments from guests a week after the wedding at how amazing the food was, especially the filet mignon! The venue was the perfect size for our 115 person wedding. Our guests were so impressed with the beauty of the venue and so many specifically mentioned how gorgeous the cocktail hour room was. I loved that we had the option to use rectangular tables for the reception instead of the typical round tables. I could write a book on how perfect our wedding day was, and the first 10 chapters would be dedicated to thanking Jessica for help with planning, spending 17 hours working the day of our wedding, and wrapping my filet up in a to go box when she saw I didn't get to it so I could eat it on the way home :). Of course, thank you to everyone else at The Madison (especially Edward and all of the wonderful servers and the cooks) who made our day so special! XOXO Jaclyn & Scott -

I have had a wonderful experience so far with Julie at The Madison! She is responsive, professional, and I feel great that my wedding is in capable hands! As an excited bride, I’ve reached out with several questions I don’t even necessarily have to ask yet, and I’m always given a prompt and friendly response. And the venue is beautiful! I can’t wait for my wedding next year!
update: Where do I even begin? The Madison was the second venue I looked at. I was toured by a former event coordinator Julie who was so very friendly and informative- I left the venue and called her in the car to book! She was amazing to work with and extremely accommodating. Then comes Covid. The Madison made postponing stress free! They gave me reasonable options for postponing or were willing to work with me to help my event happen within the current CDC guidelines ( they now have a beautiful tent). I decided to postpone and it was seamless. I have heard horror stories from other brides about difficulties with postponing and none of that happened with The Madison. I was reassigned to another event coordinator after Julie left that I only worked with for a few weeks, then I was reassigned again to Thomas. Again, a seamless transition. It was like he had been working with me on my wedding since day 1. THOMAS IS A GOD SEND. He is friendly, caring, accommodating, and you can absolutely tell he loves his career. He made me feel like we were the only event that was happening even though they have tons of different types of events at The Madison all the time! He always did anything and everything he could to eliminate any worry or stress (not that I was given much to worry about). He went ABOVE AND BEYOND to ensure our wedding day was 100% perfect and Thomas and the entire staff knocked it out of the park. They worked flawlessly with all of my vendors on the day of, set up my decorations perfectly, and were quick with dinner service and friendly to guests. The food was fantastic, the venue looked stunning, and all of my guests have been telling me how impressed they are. Not many had heard of The Madison but they’ve all left remembering it. I cannot thank the staff, and Thomas, enough for what they’ve done. Thomas turned a year that became stressful for many couples with postponements into a stress free experience for us. My bridal party adored him as well! We also hosted our rehearsal dinner at The Madison and it was just as perfect as our wedding day! Down to each server making sure we had what we needed. If you’re not sure where to host your wedding, or any event for that matter- I highly recommend The Madison. They will not disappoint from food, to drink, to service- you will impress your guests! -

What can I say about The Madison? The Madison hosted the most important day of our lives. Our wedding ceremony was held in the beautiful Madison Courtyard and our reception was held in the swanky Café Madison. The Madison staff far EXCEEDED our expectations. Julie who took the lead on coordinating our day was so kind and gracious to us. She was patient and understanding. Her creativity took our wedding vision to a level that we could never have imagined. THE SERVICE WAS GREAT!!! Our guests had nothing but positive reviews and feedback about their experience and high praises of how beautiful the venue is. So I just want to thank all those at The Madison for making Our Wedding Day special. I could not have imagined our special day being even close to what The Madison Experience gave us. Again…The Best Day of My Life!!!! Much thanks and appreciation to The Madison. -

Best food and service
The venue is great, classy and quality, not filled with glitter or outdated art or finishes. The food is amazing and the stone fireplaces are perfect. What puts this place over the top is the service. They really want to make the day stress free and they are so kind. They seem like they all enjoy working together. The best attendants were Jess and Julie. They went over the top to make sure things ran smoothly and everyone had a good time. Cake was good. Mac and cheese balls are so good. The inside courtyard and various rooms are stunning. I used my own vendors mostly and it was no problem. -

Sue H. Sent on 05/20/2019You will be delighted with The Madison, elegant and tasteful
From the first moment when we called The Madison to view the venue to the evening of our wedding when we departed bearing gifts and left-over wedding cake, the whole experience at The Madison was wonderful, and just what we hoped our wedding would be.
The Courtyard boasts a majestic brick fireplace where our ceremony took place on a beautifully sunny Friday afternoon in May 2019. The beautifully decorated, intimate indoor bar area is perfect for cocktail hour, and leads into the large reception room where dinner and dancing took place.
We chose the food station option for our wedding, and we are glad that we did. The butlered hors d’oeuvres were plentiful, varied and delicious, served with a smile by the knowledgeable waitstaff. The bar staff was friendly and very accommodating. Our choice of pork and prime rib were juicy and flavourful, and don’t even get me started on the delicious cannolis and cream puffs, let alone the incredible wedding cake provided by Di Bartolos (as part of the package).
Our wedding party took advantage of the bridal suite a couple of hours before the wedding until we left, which was very comfortable, gave us a place to leave all our belongings and gave the few teenagers in our party somewhere to hang when the adults started embarrassing them by dancing.
Julie Gonzales was our guide on the day, and I can’t say enough good things about her. She went above and beyond, even to the extent of following us with a bottle of champagne to ensure we never ran out of something to drink!
Both Julie and Jessica Crespo were professional, kind, warm and gracious. Nothing was too much trouble for them. Our wedding day was beautiful, well planned and above all enjoyed by everyone who attended. We received so many compliments about how elegant the venue is.

My husband and I couldn’t have picked a better venue for our wedding on April 14th, 2019. Everything from the first look pictures, to beautiful fire place during the ceremony, the cocktail hour to the reception was nothing less than perfect. We got many compliments on how beautiful this place was. We couldn’t have agreed more!! On top of all of that the customer service was amazing.😊 Julie Gonzales was so on point!! She made sure everything stayed on time and pushed to make sure we got through the ceremony before any rain 🌧. Lol. She was so awesome with my 2 year old son who wanted nothing to do with being a ring bearer when it was show time. With no thought she grabbed him and kept things moving and when we returned back inside from the ceremony he was asleep I her arms. 😊 That was truly a highlight of my special day. The staff overall was amazing. My guest raved about the bar tender and the great the drinks, while others were so impressed by how good the food was. The Madison is highly recommended by myself and Kevin. They were able to capture that intimate feel we both wanted and still include all the bells and whistles making everything perfect. Don’t hesitate to book here!!

ABSOLUTELY STUNNING... Words can not express how incredibly beautiful my wedding day was. The two life saviors Diane and Julie took my vision to the next level.
At first my experience started off a little rocky in the beginning stages of me planning with the Madison, but as soon as Diane Bobak and Julie stepped in my wedding day dreams came to life. They really listened to what I wanted and took it above and beyond what I could have ever imagined. They were so caring and compassionate towards me and my wedding party. I felt so close to them like family, that was how much they made me feel comfortable and really made me feel like a queen. The décor and setup was nothing short of a fairytale. I am so blessed that I was able to work with those two beautiful souls. Trust me when I say whatever you envision for your wedding day, they will make that come true tenfold.
The hours of my wedding I had a attendee named TJ who amazing and sought me out where ever I was and made sure I had plenty to drink and to make sure I was good all around. I was literally treated like royalty. The way that they waited on me hand and foot.
The food was absolutely delicious, from start to finish the Chef truly has a gift. All of my guests were extremely please and happy with the décor, food and late night food truck to top it off. I had nothing but positive feedback from my guests. They are still staking about it 4 months later calling it "the most beautiful wedding that they have ever attended."
You'd be very wise to choose this place if you want to live out a true royal fairytale. They have made my wedding day truly memorable and something I will cherish forever I wish I could do it all over again.
There is so much more I could say but I am running out of characters. Bravo Madison I would give 100 stars if I could.

Eric and I had one of our first dates at The Madison and when we started planning our wedding, it was the first and only venue we looked at. I literally cried tears of joy in the car after I met with the Director of Catering, Laura and they actually had our wedding date available! I fell in love with their romantic courtyard with the hanging bistro lights and couldn’t wait to get married in front of their gorgeous outdoor fireplace. Unfortunately for us, it rained right before our ceremony and we were forced to bring the ceremony inside, but it worked out better than I could’ve imagined. The fireplace in The Madison Room was just as beautiful and we decorated the mantle with candles and flowers and it looked amazing in pictures. And we were still able to capture our First Look in the courtyard before it started raining! The Madison was incredibly accommodating with our budget and we were able to customize our food options. The head chef even met with me to discuss my food allergy and threw in extra items to make sure I had enough to eat! Our guests could not stop raving about the food and the atmosphere! But the best part about our special day was the outstanding service The Madison provided from start to finish. From the first day we met, Laura and I just clicked. She was warm and welcoming and I felt like I’d known her for years. She kept me calm throughout the whole process and I just knew we were in excellent hands. She and her assistant, Julie make such a great team, remembering every family members names, making sure all of our guests were happy and taken care of, staying organized, and most importantly, being at our sides for every question or concern we had and genuinely putting our minds at ease. Shout out to TJ, our banquet captain, who was a rockstar, professional, and attentive to all our guests needs, all with a smile on his face. It seriously was the best day ever and we owe it all to The Madison for exceeding every expectation and making our day beyond special! -

Jessica Sent on 11/25/2016The Madison was the perfect venue for our wedding. I was able to get my hair and make up done for my big day in the Wine Cellar area with my bridal party for no extra fee. My husband and his groomsmen were able to stay out of sight in the Towne Tavern until the ceremony. The staff, especially Jessica, was pleasant and easy to work with throughout the entire process. The venue had a unique, romantic setting for an outdoor ceremony. The reception hall was the ideal size for our party and provided plenty of space. The food was outstanding, especially the hors d'oeuvres, and the wait staff were prompt and courteous throughout the night. Our guests were treated wonderfully and continue to praise the venue weeks after our event. The Madison far exceeded our expectations and gave us the evening we always envisioned! -

Sarah Sent on 01/07/2016The Madison was an amazing choice of venue and their staff was outstanding! Our wedding was above and beyond everything we ever dreamed.
We worked with Jessica, the director, who is professional, dedicated, and talented. She listened to our ideas, asked questions, welcomed our vision, and brought the wedding of our dreams to life.
The Madison itself is an incredible venue. They have beautiful stonework and a fireplace in the courtyard, impressive waterfalls on the wall inside, high ceilings, a swanky yet cozy modern cocktail lounge, and an elegant reception room.
We had use of the outdoor courtyard, bar, ballroom, wine cellar, and bridal suite for our wedding. We had a 4:30pm wedding and were allowed in as early as 10am (most places were only 2-3 hours early). We loved that we could all get ready there (girls in the bridal suite, guys in the wine cellar), which maximized pictures and made it very convenient.
Our wedding ended up being on a day that was misty, cold, and windy. Having all the rooms at The Madison meant we got so many different and amazing indoor pictures. It looks like we went to 6 locations to capture the amazing shots our photographer got, but it was all at The Madison!
Finally, food was very important to us. We ate there several times and were so impressed with the creativity and quality. At our wedding, we were not disappointed! The only thing I wish is that there was more at cocktail hour and at the dessert bar, because the food disappeared very quickly and no more was brought out. But our families are big eaters. Everyone kept telling us how great the food was!
So many people told us this was the most incredible wedding they had ever been to. They raved about everything from the helpful staff to the décor to the gorgeous facility. We felt like we hit the jackpot with this venue and staff.

Jaclyn Sent on 08/18/2015If I could relive my entire wedding day over and over again at The Madison, I would. There isn't a single thing I would change, nor a single thing they could have done to make me happier. From the moment I stepped inside I was thrilled with the decor, the ambiance, and especially the pricing options and flexibility. Jessica Connor was attentive to our needs, friendly, organized and detail-oriented. The wedding planning process can be harrowing, but Jessica was often my stable ground in those rocky waters. The cocktail lounge, outdoor cocktail lounge, wine cellar, bridal suite, and ballroom were all available for our use. My guests commented that it was some of the best food they'd ever had! I never thought we could realistically afford what we ended up getting, but The Madison literally made my dreams come true. I would HIGHLY recommend this establishment to my closest friends and family.
