The Hamilton Manor

erything she had an answer for EVERYTHING. Olivia, Milan and LJ made sure our night went perfectly. They were thoughtful, and they were kind. The food was AMAZING. Our signature drinks were hits!! Everyone is still raving about our cocktail hour!! I would recommend this venue to everyone! If we could do it all over again, without a doubt it would be at the Hamilton Manor!

y different vibe, where you’ll have your guests on their toes, excited to see where they will be led to next. It gave so much more to the experience. It included everything we wanted, rustic, ballroom luxury and our favorite speakeasy vibes. From the very beginning the staff was incredible. We knew we were getting the all inclusive experience. There was little to no stress planning a wedding (in four months, mind you) with this team by your side. Special thank you to Diana who was there every step of the way making sure all the boxes were checked, but also a shout out to Madison and Andre, everyone made you feel like family from the second you walked through the doors. Every staff member knew who you were before even introducing yourself. Reagan, Caitlyn and Nymere were also great, and let me tell you Gail their server bought the night alive! Not just staff but part of the party! If you’re wondering if you should book this venue, I’m here to tell you it’s a no brainer! Even last minute changes such as having the ceremony inside instead of outside (due to weather) was handled with such grace. We didn’t have a thing to worry about and the ceremony room looked phenomenal, not as if they just slapped it together day of. The day ran so smoothly and still getting compliments on the food (plentiful and delicious) and what a beautiful space it was.

and answered every single one of my last-minute questions right up until the days leading up to our wedding. And the entire Hamilton Manor team including Caitlin and Charlotte were so great to work with and executed everything perfectly on the day of! I’ve heard nothing but awesome stories from our family and friends regarding the staff about how great they were and I couldn’t agree more!! Everyone was genuine and had a passion in what they are doing. We couldn’t have asked for a better venue or a better team to help bring our wedding day to life. We are so incredibly grateful for everything the Hamilton Manor team did to make our day so special! 💛💛

Anytime I had a question Madison would get back to me ASAP. On the wedding day itself, everything ran so smoothly because of how attentive the team was — I truly didn’t have to worry about a thing and was able to fully enjoy the day. The food was delicious and our guests are still talking about it! We were so happy they arranged a little time to ourselves at the end of cocktail hour to take it all in and eat. We are so grateful for the care and professionalism from everyone involved so we could have such a memorable day! 

l. They made the entire planning process feel seamless and were there to help every step of the way. Erin, Hannah, Caitlyn, and LJ were absolutely incredible. They were so patient, kind, and helpful throughout the entire process and especially on our wedding day. Their attention to detail and dedication made such a huge difference in making our day feel effortless and perfect. The food was absolutely incredible — we are still having guests rave about how delicious everything was! The venue itself was immaculate, clean, and every detail was exactly where it needed to be. They set up our décor exactly how we envisioned it, and seeing it all come together was truly magical. The grounds at The Hamilton Manor are absolutely beautiful, and our wedding photos are breathtaking because of the gorgeous landscape and scenery. Every corner of the venue was stunning. I’ll be honest, there were a few moments during the planning process where I felt frustrated because there were certain things I didn’t understand why they couldn’t budge on, especially when they felt like such small details. However, after experiencing our wedding day, I completely understand why they have the procedures and rules they do. Every decision they made was to ensure everything ran smoothly, and it truly showed. I truly couldn’t recommend The Hamilton Manor enough. I wish we could go back and relive our perfect day over and over again! Thank you to everyone at HM for making our wedding day so special and unforgettable. 🤍

r friends, and we couldn't be more grateful. Every part of our wedding felt like a dream. Our ceremony was rustic, romantic and whimsical, cocktail hour had the most incredible Italian speakeasy feel, and the ballroom completely took our breath away. The high ceilings, stunning chandeliers, and grand balcony entrance created such a magical moment that made our day truly unforgettable. But what truly makes The Hamilton Manor so special is the people you have by your side throughout your wedding journey, especially Diana. If you have the opportunity to work with her, consider yourself incredibly lucky. She was so much more than our coordinator. Throughout this entire process, she became a true friend. She was always there to answer every question, calm every worry, and make sure every detail reflected exactly what we envisioned. On our wedding day, having Diana by our side made everything feel complete. And trust me, you are going to need someone like her through your journey, trust me! Seeing everything we had worked so hard to plan come to life was because of her and we are forever grateful. We truly cannot thank Diana, Andre, and the entire Hamilton Manor team enough for giving us the wedding of our dreams. If you're looking for a venue that is breathtaking, timeless, and filled with people who genuinely care about making your day as special as if it were their own, this is your venue.

de us feel supported and excited every step of the way. A huge thank you to Cheyenne, Caitlyn, Hannah, and Lloyd—they were absolutely amazing to work with. They were always helpful, responsive, and genuinely cared about making sure everything went smoothly. Having such an incredible team behind us made the planning process so much less stressful. The venue itself is absolutely beautiful, and our guests are still talking about how gorgeous everything was. The food was also incredible—so many people told us it was some of the best wedding food they've ever had! On the wedding day, every staff member we encountered was friendly, attentive, and went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. We were able to relax, enjoy every moment, and celebrate with our family and friends knowing everything was being taken care of. We are so grateful to the entire Hamilton Manor team for making our wedding day so special and unforgettable. We would recommend Hamilton Manor to any couple looking for a beautiful venue and an amazing team to bring their wedding vision to life!

ot only is the venue itself gorgeous, but the people that work there are some of the kindest people you will ever meet. They truly care about their couples and my husband and I felt that from the very beginning. We had the honor of working with Diana, and throughout the entire process she made us feel at ease and was there with anything we needed. The wedding day ran so seamlessly thanks to Diana and her team. They made sure all the vendors were aware of what to do and when and ensured the day ran smoothly. After the wedding, guests could not stop complimenting the venue and the food. The Hamilton Manor truly deserves an honest 5/5 star rating. 

ding up to the wedding, she made sure all of our questions were answered, and even when we dropped off our items the day before, we felt completely comfortable and confident. On the day of the wedding, everything ran seamlessly, we seriously had no issues. The staff was literally on top of every detail. We had LJ as our Maitre’D, Olivia as our Day-of Coordinator, and Hannah as our Bridal Attendant, and they were all incredible. They kept everything on schedule and made the entire day feel effortless. We also added the Lighting Package and the Bridal Party First Look Package and I can not recommend it enough. It gave us so much extra time for photos and alleviated the stress of having to do everything during cocktail hour! Plus both bridal suites were fully stocked with beverages and sandwiches for our group. I’m also so happy to say that the food ended up being one of the most talked-about parts of our wedding! Not just the overwhelming quantity, but how genuinely good everything was. For cocktail hour, we added the Pressed Cast Iron Panini Station, the Italian Grill, and the Wok Station, and all three were a huge hit. We also decided to add the Lounge Flip Wall and our guests loved it, they kept commenting on how cool it was! For dinner, we chose the duet entrée (Petite 4 oz. Filet Mignon and Blackened Salmon), with Eggplant Rollatini as the vegetarian option, and we heard rave reviews across the board. My husband and I barely ate because of the adrenaline and wanting to be on the dance floor, but what we did have was honestly great. For dessert, we added the Italian Pastry Bar and the Boardwalk Station, which was the perfect ending to the night. We also brought pre-made to-go boxes, and HM helped guests pack up desserts to take home, which was such a great touch after such a full cocktail hour and dinner. Overall, we would choose Hamilton Manor again and again. Everything was executed perfectly, the staff was amazing, the food exceeded expectations, and the entire team was amazing to work with 🤍

ne when we fell in love with the venue. She let us come back with both our families to make them love it just as much as we did! She was soooo responsive to all my annoying and nagging emails, never making me feel like I was annoying or nagging. Throughout the process she was the best point of contact.   Hannah & Olivia were such a great team with keeping me sane during photos and making sure everything was seamless. They were usually within feet of me and never made me feel unattended. They held our cellphones if needed, had tissues ready for those emotional times, kept us on schedule for ceremony time and made sure we were well attended to prior to the ceremony and reception. They ran such a tight ship! Never was I nervous we were going to run late, even though I asked so many times for a time check, they calmed me continuously.  Lloyd (LJ): OMG I can not say enough about LJ. Every single person loved him. He made us, our parents and bridal party feel like family all day and night. He was bopping around the venue before all the festivities making sure everyone was attended to even though he wasn’t on yet. During the reception he was literally the best person ever. We felt like he was family by the end of the night. I’m still hearing about how well attended people felt with him. He made sure one concern we had was addressed appropriately and would not be a further issue due to the severity of it.   The entire team at HM was so great to work with. I met the owner Andre a few times as well and he also made us feel like we were his family the entire process. My vision for my decor was executed perfectly without me having to change a thing!  I’m still hearing about the amazing food and how no one went home hungry! From the beautiful cocktail hour, including our private cocktail hour, to the duet plate (short rib and salmon) to the dessert and late night stations, everyone raved about the quality and quantity!  I’m so happy we chose the HM for our beautiful, special day. Forever will I recommend them to anyone that is getting married!

ough the doors, we fell in love with this venue! Each location within the venue offers a different and unique atmosphere - whether it's the sophistication of the Library Oak Room, the whimsy of the outdoor arch and photo ops, or the breathtaking glamourous ballroom. The staff were very professional and our Wedding Director, Cheyenne, was so quick to respond to all of my questions. And as a professional event planner, I had a lot! Cheyenne (Wedding Director), Kristen (Day of Coordinator), Milan (Bridal Attendant), and Lloyd (Maître D') were AMAZING! They were so attentive and were able to anticipate our needs before we even needed them. We've gotten so many compliments from our guests about the staff, as well as the FOOD! So much food! And not just food. DELICIOUS food! Everyone in attendance left happy and full. I cannot say enough positive things about our experience at The Hamilton Manor. We would choose it again and again. It was truly the best day ever and I cannot thank their team enough!

this was our perfect venue. Our friends and family were blown away by the venue. They cannot stop talking about how beautiful every space was and how this was one of the best cocktail hours they ever had! The entire staff was beyond incredible, starting with Diana, who made us feel at home right away and made sure every single detail was perfect. We couldn’t have asked for a better day-of team, who kept everything running smoothly, made sure every single ask was accommodated, and ensured all the guests were taken care of. Special shout out to Olivia, Carmen, and LJ for going above and beyond to make our wedding day truly unforgettable. We could not recommend Hamilton Manor more for anyone looking to have their wedding there, and we hope to return as guests and experience it all again!

ilton Manor was the first and only venue we looked at and we secured the date that day & it was the best decision we could have made! From the staff to the food to the grounds, it was all magical. We cannot say enough incredible things about every staff member here. We didn’t have an ounce of stress because they were there for us every step of the way! They were organized, responsive, and genuinely invested in making our day perfect. On the day of, they handled every detail with such care and professionalism that we were able to fully relax and be present, which is truly priceless! We had so much fun with everyone!  Special shoutout to Melissa, Emily, Hannah, and LJ for being absolute rockstars and really showing us so much love!!  Thank you thank you thank you to The Hamilton Manor for being a part of the best day of our lives!!! 

unforgettable day of our lives. We first discovered The Hamilton Manor in August 2023, and from the moment I stepped into the ballroom, I was completely overwhelmed (in the best way). It was an instant, emotional “yes.” Every detail of the venue is stunning and impeccably maintained. While the barn underwent some changes over the past 2 ½ years, any hesitation quickly faded, as it ultimately enhanced the beauty of our wedding day. The bridal and groom suites are equally impressive. They were spacious, elegant, and thoughtfully designed. If you can, definitely recommend doing your getting ready photos there! Although we were flexible with our wedding date (we wanted to avoid spring & summer), The Hamilton Manor was nearly fully booked for 2025. We were honored to become their first booked wedding for 2026! Diana gave us our tour and ended up being our wedding director as well! Diana was exceptional throughout the entire planning process. She remained consistently communicative, patient, and incredibly attentive—always answering every question (even when I asked the same one more than once). As the big day approached, her support only increased, and she was always available when we needed her. From last-minute changes to special surprises, she handled everything with grace and expertise. Her kindness and dedication truly set her apart, and we feel so fortunate to have worked with her. On the day of the wedding, we were supported by an outstanding team: Caitlyn (Day-of Coordinator), Charlotte (Bridal Attendant), and LJ (Maître d’). They were nothing short of phenomenal, truly a dream team! Caitlyn and Charlotte ensured that everything ran seamlessly, allowing us to be fully present and enjoy every moment. I had been nervous about having the rehearsal on the same day, especially with a large bridal party, but Caitlyn managed it flawlessly - it was organized, smooth, and stress-free. LJ brought such a wonderful energy to the day, always making sure we had a drink in hand and a smile on our faces. He even jumped in to assist our photographers with a creative elevator shot, which was an unexpected and memorable moment! And of course, the food deserves its own recognition. Every glowing review you’ve read is absolutely true. The cocktail hour was beautifully presented, and the variety and quality of the food were exceptional. We chose the signature cucumber margarita and it was a standout! Our guests are still talking about it! We initially had some hesitation about the duet entrée, but it ended up being perfect, as our guests could not stop raving about the meal. To the entire Hamilton Manor staff - THANK YOU! From the planning process to the execution of our wedding day, you made this journey seamless, joyful, and truly unforgettable. We are so grateful to be part of the Hamilton Manor family and we miss y’all! With all our love, The Shuldhams❤️

ator Caitlyn, our Bridal Attendant Hannah, and our Maître d' Adrian were incredible and made everything seamless. Also, special shoutout to server Gail who really had the party going! We loved having her dancing with our guests! Everything was planned and executed perfectly and we just had to show up and have fun! Our guests also kept raving about how attentive all the staff were and how smoothly everything flowed. They really know what they're doing and helped walk us through the entire process. We felt like true VIPs the entire day! What initially sold us was the venue itself. I don't know how much I really need to say about that because once you see it, you know. Every single nook and cranny is so beautiful and impeccably maintained. We wanted somewhere elegant and classy but also a little rustic and fun and HM completely nails it. Every time I came back to make payments or meet with our director I noticed even more details. I really just love being in the space. We need to take a moment for the food because WOW. Everything from the cocktail hour spread to the dinner to dessert was delicious. My only regret for the day was that I didn't get a chance to try every single food because I know it was all amazing. Time and stomach space just wouldn't allow it. We got so many comments from our guests about how good everything was! We got our cake from Palermos through HM as part of the package and holy cow I will be dreaming about that cake for the rest of my life. The Hamilton Manor also recommended some great vendors for DJs, photo, etc. We used their list and loved working with every single one of our vendors. Big shoutout to Limelight Entertainment, Limelight Photo & Video, Ivy On Main Florals, Prop Hair Studio, and Rev. John O'Sullivan! Our wedding day was everything we could have dreamed and more! I want to shout from the rooftops about how great our entire experience was. I am now trying to convince any and all of my engaged friends to have their wedding here so I can keep coming back.

rything. She walked us through pricing with total honesty which meant a lot to us since not every venue is so forthcoming. Not only did we appreciate the staff from the start, but we fell in love with the venue itself. Every space in the venue is stunning and so much is included in the price that it simplified the planning process.  The entire planning process was seamless. Diana sent guidelines about what we needed to complete every step of the way and was extremely responsive to any questions that we had. I was also impressed with their patience with me. I am a control freak and sent an extensive document with photos of where I wanted all decor to be placed during drop-off and they adhered to every single instruction flawlessly.  While I was thrilled to be able to add so many personal touches to the venue, the venue itself is stunning without any added decor. I had always wanted a barn wedding while my husband wanted a grand ballroom, and Hamilton fully delivered the most beautiful combination of both of our needs. One thing I would recommend is to utilize the extra two hours for photos that they offer so that you can really get a chance to enjoy the venue the day of. Not only did this allow for us to take photos in every unique space, but it also gave us a chance to enjoy the space with our family and bridal party. As we utilized the space for extra photo time, we had the best service all day in the bridal and groom suites. The suites were beautiful and fully stocked with food and drinks that kept everyone happy all day. I was also beyond grateful that the staff took my dietary restrictions (gluten and dairy) into consideration. Not only was the bridal suite stocked with gluten free and dairy free snacks and drinks for me, but the staff was careful to ensure that everything I consumed the entire day adhered to my restrictions.  Not only was the venue accommodating with allergy-friendly food options, but the food overall was phenomenal. We had attended a wedding there before and loved it, but ours exceeded expectations. The cocktail hour had endless options and dinner was phenomenal, with the duet entrée truly standing out — I’m still dreaming about the short rib. Dessert was unique with options I have never seen at weddings before. It is not every day you can get fried Oreos and churros with your wedding cake. Every bite was incredible and our guests are still raving about the food. Overall, the variety and quality included in the price per plate were incredibly impressive. The staff truly set The Hamilton Manor apart. Diana coordinated everything flawlessly. Our day-of coordinator, Caitlyn, went above and beyond (even bustling my dress and entertaining my three year old nephew during photos). Milan, my bridal attendant, and Lloyd, our Maitre D’, were attentive, fun, and genuinely invested in making the day perfect. The entire team felt like they were celebrating with us. Getting married in NJ can feel financially overwhelming, but The Hamilton Manor was an incredible value. For the stunning venue and everything included (food, alcohol, cake, service, décor, and more), it was worth every penny. If you’re considering The Hamilton Manor, book it. It was the best decision we made, and we would choose them again in a heartbeat. 

would.  We had previously attended a wedding at HM as guests and we texted our parents and told them that this will be our wedding venue. Sure enough once we set our first appointment with Diana, it just solidified everything.  From day one Diana was amazing to work with. She is so friendly, and the sweetest person ever. From first walk through to EVERY little detail forward, Diana was there making everything as smooth and easy as possible. Even through my crazy middle of the night emails, she assured me everything was okay and going to be amazing and it was nothing short of that.  When the day of came, we didn’t feel worried or stressed we knew we were in good hands with the HM team. Caitlyn and Hannah were there from the second I arrived the day of, making sure I had everything I needed. Even falling over snow to help me lol. Truly a dream team.  LJ our maître d was our own hype man through out the entire wedding reception. He was there on the dance floor with us, making sure we were good, that we ate, had drinks etc.  Everything about this day was PERFECT!  Our guests did not stop talking about the amazing cocktail hour was , the dinner, and how beautiful the venue was. They have not stopped raving about that night and honestly we can’t either. I cannot recommend The Hamilton Manor enough for all future brides and weddings. Truly the best night and dream come true 🤍🤍

g of the night, we felt completely cared for, supported, and celebrated. Diana, our wedding director, made the entire planning process feel effortless. She brought such calm, confidence, and organization to every step. No question was too small, no detail overlooked. Because of her, we were able to truly enjoy our engagement knowing everything was in the best hands. On our wedding day, Kristen ensured that everything flowed perfectly. I never once felt stressed or overwhelmed because she was always one step ahead, quietly making sure each moment unfolded exactly as it should. She allowed us to be fully present, soaking in every second without worry. Milan, my bridal attendant, was truly my fairy godmother. She anticipated needs before I even realized I had them. From adjusting my dress to making sure I had water, a moment to breathe, or anything at all, she made me feel so special and cared for. I will never forget the comfort and kindness she showed me throughout the day. Lloyd, our maitre d’, went above and beyond in every possible way. If our hands were empty, he was there with a drink. If we or our families needed anything, he was already taking care of it. His attentiveness, warmth, and genuine care did not go unnoticed. He made us and our loved ones feel incredibly important. And the food was beyond incredible. Truly a 1000 out of 10. Our guests are still talking about it and telling us they have never experienced a wedding quite like ours. The quality, presentation, and service were exceptional. Hearing our friends and family say it was the nicest wedding they have ever attended means everything to us, and that is such a testament to The Hamilton Manor and the amazing team behind it. We wish we could relive the day over and over again and somehow make it last longer. It was elegant, joyful, seamless, and filled with love. We are endlessly grateful to The Hamilton Manor for giving us the wedding of our dreams and memories we will cherish forever. With all our love and gratitude, Alissa and Jarred

as amazing as it was, the staff at Hamilton Manor were nothing short of amazing. The staff felt like family, from our maître d’, LJ, my bridal attendant, Hannah, Erin, Olivia and all the staff at HM! They truly know how to make every wedding feel unbelievably special. They made sure we ate, always had a drink in our hand and were having the absolute most fun! My dress was not easy to bustle and somehow the girls along with my wedding planner got it done in 15 minutes (even my seamstress was shocked lol)! I couldn’t recommend Hamilton Manor any more, our guests are still raving about the food, atmosphere and how much fun the wedding was! Side note, it also rained on my wedding day, and it had absolutely no effect on me or my husband! The wedding was just as beautiful, the photos were just as breathtaking and it went off without a hitch despite the crazy weather! And that’s most definitely a nod to how stunning the venue is outside and inside, and how great the staff do at making sure absolutely nothing puts a damper on your day, even a hurricane lol!  If you want a venue that has so many stunning photo opportunities outside and inside and staff that feel like friends and family, look no further! Truly the easiest and best choice I made during wedding planning!  To the Hamilton Manor staff, THANK YOU again from the bottom of our hearts for one of the most unforgettable, spectacular nights of our lives! I would recommend you guys 1000x over, but you already know that! Love always, The Matthews

Kristen, Hannah, and Lloyd, made it a day to remember. From locking in on the day three years ago, Diana was always there. She was extremely easy to talk to and was always so excited for us as our wedding day was approaching. She was not only our wedding director, but truly was a friend during the entire process. When my husband and I were shopping around for a wedding venue, all that I had asked for was rustic but romantic, and the Hamilton Manor DELIVERED. The barn was the most beautiful place to get married in, and the lanterns were a bonus! But the reception area was breathtaking- it truly brought tears to my eyes because HM brought my vision to life.  On the wedding day, it was truly seamless. From the personal photos taken during the time our photographer was taking photos of my husband and I outside, to the organization of our LARGE bridal party before the ceremony. NOT TO MENTION!!! The cocktail hour was phenomenal. All of our guests have ranted and raved over the food, and it couldn't have been a more amazing experience. I will say, many of my guests have spoken very highly of LJ- saying how respectful and attentive he was. But Kristen and Hannah were also SO amazing. They both attended to every ask that I had before the ceremony, and I am eternally grateful.  HM- We hope to be back as a guest for a future wedding. Thank you for everything! 

NJ and after we toured The Hamilton Manor we knew right away this was the place for us. Our guests are still reaching out over a week later to tell us how beautiful the venue was and how great the food was. From the bride and groom's perspective, our day was absolutely perfect, not a single complaint as everything was as smooth as can be. Erin, Kristen, Hannah & Lloyd, helped make everything go smoothly and accommodated all of our needs and wants to make our day so special. We had used Limelight Entertainment as our DJ, Marquee Photo & Video, Ivy on Main as our florist, and Palermo's bakery for cake. The Hamilton Manor offers a little bit of everything for everyone. Anyone looking for a wedding venue in NJ we strongly encourage you to add The Hamilton Manor to your list. We are extremely thankful for the entire Hamilton Manor team and all the vendors that made our day so special.
