**HAD TO WRITE THIS AMAZING REVIEW** (And I almost never post reviews online, I just read and research on hours end) PLEASE READ WITH LOVE AND CONSIDERATION!!!
My husband and I h...ad our wedding reception at the Royal Manor in October 2022 and we couldn't have been happier with our decision!!! From the very beginning, Magda, our event coordinator, was incredible in every aspect of the planning stages and the execution of the day's timeline. She never missed a beat! The venue itself is exceptional. Modern elegance with a beautiful cocktail as well as reception ballroom space that is extremely spacious and well laid out. The grounds have plenty of picture moment opportunities, including an outdoor gazebo, beautifully colored outdoor waterfall, white pergola, stunning landscaping and planted flowers. The experience is nothing short of spectacular! When your guests arrive, there is a nice long drive up along well kept pavers towards the front grand doors with Valet Parking (unlike other venues that are along major highway routes and require immediate turning in, which can be unsafe). Directions from all points of New Jersey/New York are extremely easy to follow and won't make anyone lost or late to your special day!
Magda, who we got so close with, was remarkable at personalizing our wedding package. A wedding is an exciting time in one's life, but it also requires making the right decisions. In times where staying within budget matters, you can be sure that at the Royal Manor they work WITH YOU, not for themselves or their bottom line as unfortunately quotes from other vendors manipulated in doing so (side note: one other venue, when I called for general pricing per guest, started belittling me for choosing a "Saturday" date stating that it's the most expensive day, while another venue was tackling on additional fees for the smallest additions and expressing shock about extending the party from the traditional 5 hours only). However, at the Royal Manor, we felt comfortable from the very beginning and were never questioned on our decisions. My husband and I were able to take our time making appropriate selections about the dinner food options, which Hors d'oeuvres would be appropriate for our guest population during cocktail hour, and overall working on the seating arrangements, and day of timeline. The process of booking and working throughout the year with the venue in preparation for the big day was truly seamless. Organization and communication, as well as quality and client satisfaction is top priority at the Royal Manor.
Our guests and ourselves loved the delicious food that the chefs prepared (guests were having their phones "eat" before themselves when they were served!) because the plate presentation was unlike any restaurant. Even dessert, left everyone in awe when the cocktail room was transformed into the "Viennese Table" space consisting of sugar heaven! Churros, donuts, ice cream, Italian pastries, popcorn, you name it, and it was there! Also, included was our wedding cake from the most amazing Italian bakery, Calandra's, and a personalized Ice Luge at the bar for an elevated alcohol drinking experience. Overall, there are simply not enough words to express the perfection that was achieved from such a smart wedding venue selection by my husband and I. Please go ask to speak with Magda for an initial meeting, and TAKE THE TOUR! Stay within budget, and be shocked at how far your money goes!!!!
