Buttonwood Manor was the perfect place to have our wedding! Sue and Maria were personable, responsive, flexible, and helpful the whole time from the initial tour to the big day. Th...
e ceremony out on the deck overlooking the lake was beautiful. We had many guests comment on how good the food was, both at cocktail hour and during dinner! And for everything that was included, this venue was a real bargain. When the rest of the wedding planning was stressing me out, Buttonwood was the one thing that was easy to work with and never caused me any extra stress. I will never get married again (see reference to stress!) but if I had to I would absolutely go with Buttonwood!
We’re so happy we booked our wedding at The Buttonwood, they were such a great place to work with. We originally had our date set in 2020, and they made rescheduling so easy. For...
ever grateful to them about that. They’re a really affordable option for such a nice venue, with so many things included, and they didn’t hit us with any hidden fees. We were looking for “fancy on a budget” and The Buttonwood delivered! Everything was very clearly communicated and Sue was incredibly helpful every step of the way. Also shout out to the kitchen guys, when we lost a dessert for a guest with a bunch of dietary restrictions they made her a fruit platter really quickly so she could eat with everyone else, it was really sweet of them and it meant a lot to us.
If you're looking for a beautiful venue with AMAZING FOOD and one that you can actually AFFORD, look no further. Our big night was absolutely perfect here at the Buttonwood Manor. ...
Everyone has raved to us about how amazing the food was from the cocktail hour and all the way through dessert. The view of the lake through the wall to wall windows is just beautiful and the room has a simple yet classic elegance feel for which I was looking. Sue and Maria were both extraordinary with planning and setting up the rooms. They were extremely accommodating to my desires on décor and just about everything. For instance, Maria advised me since I wanted a very dark/moody look to my wedding (I requested all black linens) to spruce up the table with some tealight candles since she knew the dim lighting during dancing hours could make it difficult for some guests who would prefer to stay at the table. Also, my husband is a big sushi fan and Sue was able to accommodate our bridal party with two large sushi boats during the two hours we had in the bridal suite prior to the start of cocktail hour. This was along with a large cheese and fruit spread. The sushi was a big hit for my bridal party and was also another way to spoil them a little for being a part of our special day. Another example, there were certain liquors included in the package that I knew my guests would not drink. Sue substituted certain bottles for us for ones we knew our guests would all order. It's the little things like this that made my husband and I really happy and thankful to have worked with Sue and Maria.
Amazing place ! They did all the work and it went smooth
Thank you Buttonwood Manor for the most amazing wedding! My wife and I had our wedding at the Buttonwood in early September 2017 and it was absolutely perfect. The service was impe...
ccable. The grounds are beautiful and made the perfect backdrop for the ceremony and pictures. The food was incredible and we have had guest after guest tell us how it was the best food they ever had at a wedding. To top it all off, Buttonwood is probably the most reasonably priced venue in Monmouth County. We could not have imagined our wedding day going any better!!
I was amazed at how beautiful the venue looked! I gave staff my decorations and told them what look I was going for, the room looked better than I could have imagined. My guests th...

e always polite, professional, and helpful. Our Maitre D' Janice was amazing! She made sure our wedding went off without a hitch. Even with it raining they were able to transition quickly and efficiently to an indoor ceremony. You can tell she really cares about her clients, and we didn't feel like it was "just another party" for her. She made sure my husband and I were taken care of. The food was also outstanding both for the rehearsal dinner and reception. I would definitely do another party here!

, Andrea hung the tulle and bows herself, for us, the morning of. The landscaping was beautiful for the pictures. And the food was great! We had to reschedule the date 2 days before the wedding because of Hurricane Irene. They were wonderful, and didn't charge a fee for the change. We wouldn't have gotten another Saturday until November though, because they were all booked, so we had to do a Sunday. We weren't trilled about that, but it went great. My daughter had the wedding of her dreams!
The service was great, everyone received their food selections in a timely manner- it wasn't rushed. The food was hot and delicious. Service was attentive but not intrusive. Cake s...
