We were looking for a venue that would provide us a space that we could make our own as we envisioned a celestial-themed wedding, complete with planets hanging from the ceiling. Our contact, Stephanie, was fantastic and so prompt in responding to emails, which was great as I was seeking a responsive venue as it would make all the difference in coordinating with other vendors in the wedding planning process. On the day of, Stephanie worked with our day of coordinators, our vendors, and everyone on staff to make our day truly unique and memorable. For our day, we used the available bride and groom suites, the cube room, and the ballroom area divided into sections for cocktail hour and the reception. The Ballroom area has built-in light settings that really set the mood and added to our vendors' existing uplighting and our guests were able to take advantage of Golden Hour to take pictures on the walkway outside of the ballroom area as well, making for heavenly photos. We also took advantage of Bell Works' Bell Market Catering to feed our vendors breakfast and lunch on our wedding day and that was conveniently delivered to the groom's suite in a timely manner. I would definitely recommend Bell Works for anyone needing a large space for out-of-this-world ideas!

I don’t know where to begin—Ellie and the rest of the amazing Chalfonte team gave us the wedding day of our dreams! From inquiring with Ellie a year before our wedding up until the day of, Ellie was there for us, answered every question thoughtfully and made us feel seen and taken care of throughout the whole process. We did a family style menu and everyone loved it. Our guests were RAVING about the food especially the fried chicken!! We only had a few guests with dietary restrictions who sought us out to tell us how impressed they were with their meals! Shoutout to the chef and kitchen crew—you guys rock. Above all, everyone who works at The Chalfonte was incredibly kind and went above and beyond for us. The drinks were an absolute hit. Our guests loved them and the bartenders who served them up!! The cocktail hour on the porch was beautiful and we heard from so many guests how much they loved it! We had an eight piece band that fit perfectly in the reception space, plenty of room for dancing, eating and talking. Front desk crew—Maddie, Maggie, Alexis and co. were so wonderful to us and all of our friends and family. The Chalfonte is a special place. We are immensely grateful to everyone there. We look forward to the days when we get to go back and visit! Amazing team!!!

Getting married at the Allaire Chapel was a dream! The entire process was smooth, and the rules/parameters were clear and easy to understand. Cynthia was a delight to work with. The building is beautiful, historic (was repainted the day prior!) and is just the right size to feel the love during your ceremony from friends and family. The vibe during our ceremony was incredible. Something you can't get in a larger traditional church. Plus, the ringing of the chapel bell at the end of our ceremony was just incredible! I highly recommend the Allaire Chapel to any couple wanting an intimate, beautiful, historic space. Rain or shine, this chapel is stellar. Thank you Cynthia for making our wedding day amazing. We cannot recommend enough.

I would like to sincerely thank the Monmouth Park team, specifically Jenna and Casey, for the most amazing engagement shoot session we could have ever asked for. Being from the area and frequenting the track often, it just made so much sense to have photos taken at a place that meant so much to the both of us. Up until touring the facility to see what opportunities there were, I had no idea how much the track had to offer for engagement shoot backdrops. Let me say, the possibilities were truly endless. I couldn’t be happier with the various amounts of photos we have to choose from to use for our Save-the-Dates, wedding website, and of course, to plaster all over the house. To say that I am so in love with how they came out would be an understatement. Thank you, again, Jenna and Casey, for making that possible for us!
