The cocktail hour, reception, and Viennese table filled with flamed cordials and sweets were amazing!!! If I had known this, I would have never booked our wedding at the manor. My husband and I were treated to a delicious meal during Christmas time on the house and w We had an amazing wedding at The Manor in November 2017! My wife and I got married a little over a month ago, and our wedding at the Manor was extraordinary! Service was fantastic - all the feedback we've received is that the staff was so nice and efficient (there was never a line at the bar). ), and the service was impeccable! On our card& gift table we had 1 large gift basket. Our Matre De and personal attendants were so wonderful the day of the wedding - I was so at ease! I have to say the venue is gorgeous! It was complete chaos. As we are walking through, he informs us that there would be NO FLOWERS ANYWHERE on the grounds in November. The Manor is absolutely gorgeous! And I don't mind because it went smoothly anyway. Our 3pm ceremony in the gardens looked amazing. And they made it look so pretty! When I came across the Manor, I immediately fell in love. The grounds are beautiful as well, though we did not get to take many photos outside due to the afternoon rain showers. Every detail was taken care of, nothing was left out. The Manor was by far the best value for price. Also, MaryAlex is BY FAR THE MOST AMAZING wedding assistant that there is ANYWHERE I would HIGHLY suggest that you ask for her to be a part of your wedding. The staff were all nice, helpful and very accommodating for us. th, predicting every need (and even pinning up my dress when my husband stepped on the train and ripped out the bustle! I heard from guests that the meat option was even cooked to each guests' order (Well done, medium, etc.). If you're shopping for locations in the area (we live in Brooklyn, most guests traveled from NYC without any issue), do yourself a favor and check out The Manor. Big thanks to Preston for all your help! We turned around with a question, and he was gone; as if we were a ghost! I was married August 5th at The Manor and I can't imagine having it any other way! I LOVED HER! As we got closer, our banquet manager, Jimmy, was always there and answered all of my questions in a timely manner. If I could go back & change it, I wouldn't change a thing! We had our ceremony, cocktail hour, reception and after-party all at the Manor and, if I could do it all over again, I wouldn't change a thing! I hope that interested couples looking for a venue keep in mind that it is not just the venue you are booking, but the people who you will be working with. We would recommend the Manor to anybody! And for a location so exquisite, the price was surprisingly affordable! ge things around to suite our desires and our budget. rear their heads for what seemed like next to no work. Everyone raved about our wedding, from the decorations, to the food, to the natural beauty of the Manor. They even set up cold water outside for our guests. The dance floor was a perfect size for all of the guests to dance all night, the food was AMAZING, and the service was great! The Manor was truly a magical place to get married! Great for a summertime wedding. The Manor was the first venue we saw and honestly nothing else compared. Unfortunately, this is the memory I have of my wedding day. The food was delicious and the bartenders were accommodating. )..I cant say enough about her. Despite that, however, the wedding went without a hitch and the photos were beautiful and the guests were all happy and satisfied! They were so kind & always there when we needed them! Our wedding at The Manor was absolutely perfect. And while our first impression of Rolf was not a great one, he was ok and friendly and helped us out towards the approach of our wedding date. He was humorous, kind and professional. I know there wont be any flowers but there wont be any greenery? He answers No, nothing So Ill just be surrounded by dirt? Yes. this to the beauty and professionalism of the The Manor! Jennifer who was our onsite coordinator was extremely helpful in the process and very organized. (Danielle and Andrew 82816). The Matre D and bridal attendant were there at all times helping me get ready and making sure we were well fed on our special day. A WASTE OF TIME, GAS, AND MY COURTESY. Thank you, thank you, thank you! Very professional. Thank you so much for making our day so extra special and memorable. I would certainly do more events here if I get the chance to! The grounds are beautiful and my guests enjoyed the food and raved about the cocktail hour ( I didn't get to try the food because of the We recently had our wedding reception at The Manor in the Virginia Room and it was absolutely wonderful. My guest are still raving about it even a month later. We were able to do some photos outside and the First Look was outside as well. The key to this success is in the fact that the Manor is a restaurant year round, meaning you have on site access to excellent food and not just a nice place to have a party where the food is trucked in from somewhere else. Also, the flowers outside didn't really bloom yet so it would've looked pretty outside but not as flowery/lively as I would've wanted. He came and proceeded to tell me that everyone has the right to use the Manor's grounds, regardless of the timing of the event. We got about halfway through our ceremony outdoors - absolutely beautiful grounds! If you want great food for your wedding - this is the place! Instead, we were told that it was our mistake. So no reassurance that a stranger wont walk into my ceremony or my guests wont be directed to the wrong space. The bridal suite was convenient, easy, and great to use for my wife. I was concerned it would be extremely expensive, but I was very happy to find out that it wasn't when my fiance and I wen to visit. Oh my! rked with throughout our planning process were very helpful and accommodating. were picture perfect with flowers and greenery all around. The ONLY con was during our booking, we were told we could not negotiate the price per head for the ceremony because they STRICTLY hold only 1 ceremony per day. I feel, especially in today's economy, that a wedding venue should treat every single prospective customer with utmost respect and courtesy, regardless of how they look or what kind of car they arrive in. Everything was fine after the ceremony started. If you want to have the ceremony there, I can virtually guarantee you won't get the same value for money spent anywhere else. I can only imagine the staff they hire, if the people who are in charge are so rude and unprofessional. We were able to do everything there - getting ready in their beautifully renovated bridal salon, photos on their stunning property, the ceremony, reception, and even the after party upstairs in their bar - how much easier can it get!! Our reception was held in the Imperial Room, which was the best. While The Manor is a bit old school in their setup (mostly paper forms instead of online for example) they make up for it by being super attentive, accommodating, and professional in the months leading up to the wedding. She explained that they cannot take cards & we had to take the card out of the basket. I've received nothing but compliments about how gorgeous the venue was and amazing the food was. & 100% better than the actual maitre d, although he They said linens would be ready by 9am to setup centerpieces but only some linens were out. beautiful as the pictures make it out to be. Classic refinement, formal gardens, elegant table settings, and five-star cuisine--all designed to create an impressive backdrop for an experience to cherish for a lifetime. In the suite, they brought 2 bottles of champagne for 12 people and left the room. They set up our reception hall beautifully. The Manor is and will always be a staple venue in the state of New Jersey and we looked at so many Naninas in the park couldnt touch that place. Our meal was $300 so although the gift certificate helps, be prepared to pay out ya a**. This felt like a very tacky&classless comment. Stop searching and book with The Manor!!! She was incredible at keeping the timeline moving along nicely. I'm glad we found The Manor. It's like a little village with Parisian luxury throughout the interior. The food was fantastic! We only had two options for linen colours. He came over to our table and yell in a loud tone , very embarrassing tone of voice, after we had just spent over $500, at that racist place. The room where our reception took place, the imperial room, was recently re-done and the it looked phenomenal. Jennifer answered every. A bridal attendant will cater to your personal needs but not your wedding guests and family matters. The issues go on. I had brought my mother and maid of honor along with me as well, but instead of conversing with all of us, getting our opinions, or getting any sense of what we were looking for, he solely talked to my mother about each room we saw. I always want a romantic garden wedding and The Manor def is the perfect match! e needed. Then a blonde woman, carrying papers, folders and other office items enters the building. It was the most perfect day. She really went above and beyond. I thanked the guest who gave us this gift, because it was very extravagant and generous. They were professional, organized, and very easy to work with. They can also do a lot of extras that not all venues can do. He also has an excellent staff that assists him. I cannot recommend The Manor enough. There were signs posted, but no direct information. My aunt and uncle got married here over 30 years ago, and their kids have been to weddings here in the last 5 years. She was calm and her presence was steadying. As we were exploring the space, he WALKED AWAY FROM US! The only mistake was that they put the wrong color flowers on my wedding ca Everyone from the beginning to the end were a joy to work with. The cake came with the venue, can you believe it? We had a perfect day, truly. The one downside of The Manor is the number of events it can handle. Roman was our banquet manager through the whole process leading up to the day and we were ecstatic to find out he would also be our maitre'd. The venue was our most favorite part of wedding planning because not much needed to be done in terms of decorations, the staff was an absolute joy to work with, and it was affordable at that. Roman and Rolf were both super friendly and helpful. Ever. Would definitely recommend having your wedding here! And they let my maid of honor bake gluten-free cupcakes. -Raffaele & Anna Marzello. due to the venue. I was able to rip open the plastic and take only the card. The Manor was our top choice of venues. I want to begin by listing the positive outcomes of choosing The Manor. In short, our marital experience was incredible in a way that would never have been possible without The Manor. However, there were two other weddings going on at the same time and my bridal party ran into the other bridal parties several times throughout the night. On the day of the wedding the staff continued to be fantastic. Also, we were not greeted by a helper or bridal assistant at the door. The venue was perfect - Rolf was perfect - everything was perfect hell even in October the garden we got married in was filled with flowers which was such a shock to me! Any minor hiccups were taken care of right away. The service impeccable! From planning to the day of, everything was taken care of. I dont have the words to describe how perfect our day was because of The Manor. Not only we were awed by the venue from the start, but the level of service was second to none. From our first visit (it's GORGEOUS) and meeting with a wedding coordinator/manager Rolf, we knew it was a very special place. The ceremony was indoors and our reception was in their Imperial Room. I feel as though the staff should do a better job of allotting times to take pictures in front of the archways. Only one was set up. They said its the best wedding they have been too! With 3 other weddings going on, folks were ending up in my wedding and visa versa. The staff pretty much gave us free reign of the gardens for photos. ktail hour was a lot better than the entrees but my guest didn't seem to notice because the bar & ambiance were absolutely divine. excitement of the day). The Manor was the perfect wedding reception for our 11/7/14 wedding! We had our ceremony in the beautiful garden, the cocktail hour in the beautiful glass room with access to the fountains and our reception in the Regency room. The food was absolutely delicious. ing process was great but when the major stress set in right before the wedding they were there with me every step of the way. I would make the same decision again if I had the chance. Thats the best word to describe this venue and the services they actually provide. This worked out perfectly fine for me because my vendors were all recommended by The Manor and were used to working there, but I could see this being a problem if you bring in vendors who are not used to the venue. It was a bit overwhelming when we arrived due to the number of parties leaving and arriving and it took a minute for us to figure out where to go. r and easy going personality, he truly was a joy to work with and we trusted him completely! With well over a half-century track record of creating successful wedding celebrations, our couples can rest easy knowing their most important day is in good hands. I came to The Manor to take a tour of the space for my wedding set for a date in 2022: plenty of time to prepare. It's so convenient that there is a bar upstairs so the after party continued there and our friends/family who wanted to keep the party going stayed. It was magical start to finish! ng - including the beautiful ceremony space and bridal "walk". Little things, just keeping things honest. The cocktail hour food was pretty good, but my guests complained that they were rushed, and ushered into the dining area before getting a chance to truly enjoy the cocktails. We've been here on multiple occasions, and had always thought very highly of the venue. The staff is very friendly and professional. had, that the place was beautiful, and food was delicious. Naomi, our Maitre D, was essentially a wedding coordinator and a venue coordinator wrapped up in one person. Food was super solid as well, easily a step up from any other venue I've been to. The arch was covered in beautiful flowers. Thank you so much to everyone at The Manor! ree. During the cocktail hour we explored the terraces/waterfalls/fountains as the sun went down and again, it's a sight to see. We were in the Imperial Room and it was gorgeous at night (with the fountains in the background). He had also assured us that the ladies could use the bridal salon before-hand even though our ceremony was at a church. The only. . Everyone at The Manor is extremely professional and give the best of customer care. The staff here is the most helpful an Dont waste your time. Our banquet manger Rolf W. Shick was the BEST! I would highly recommend any couple to go with the Manor - it's reasonably price and you get so much for your money. The food was good but it wasnt hot. They exceeded our expectations in every possible way, f Our wedding day was picture perfect thanks in large part to The Manor and everything they did for us. The food was also soo good! The grounds are absolutely beautiful and really well maintained. So, I guess it really depends on who you get as your point-person. I advise any and all couples in this area to at least consider having your big day here -- you will not be disappointed! A moment in our life, that should be a memory of a joyous event, will forever be linked with frustration, disappointment & embarrassment. As soon as the ceremony started the Matre D was with me the whole time, including the bridal attendant. I'm not sure if Roman had assumed we couldn't afford it, or if he had a long day and was tired, but we were so rushed through the whole process it was so easy to say "absolutely not" to this venue almost immediately. My wife asked for a lot of custom things and The Manor was very flexible with scheduling. Snacks were a nice bonus! Dinner was impeccable - and the reception area is stunning with all dark wood and a gorgeous chandelier over the dance floor. They made sure our day was everything we dreamed of. So as Im walking along the cracked paver pathway, I asked As I am walking along here Ill just be surrounded by dirt? Would highly recommend The Manor to anyone! Like everything else, there were pros and cons, but it didn't stop us from having an incredible and beautiful wedding! They also couldn't get over the bartenders' service the entire night. The only thing we were kind of disappointed in was the cake it was very dry but the outer design was neat. The venue itself is spotless and decorated with lavish detail. Otherwise, it was perfect. Needless to say, we did not get to take all the pictures we wanted and our food was cold. I did not have one complaint about anything the entire evening. I was always able to arrange a meeting when I wanted to and was always met on time. The event managers at the Manor were a bit slow with responses to email & returning calls but overall efficient. Fortunately, they charge the remaining non existing guests as vendors, so they were half price which ended up saving us a ton! We worked with Rolf and he was great and always on top of things. We couldnt be happier with e Every since I was a child I wanted to get married at the Manor. The day of our wedding was absolutely amazing. Everything went so well. We are still receiving thank you notes from our guests saying what a beautiful and amazing wedding it was we can best attribute Wow, The Manor helped to make my wedding magical. You will not hear your guests say they ate "typical wedding food." The girls and I were given food and drinks in our private dressing room. You won't be disappointed! The service and helpfulness it was just wonderful. ing glass room and Virginia Room. He was so curt we honestly weren't even sure we were getting a tour! I have never been more appalled by disrespect than I was when first walking in to the Manor in West Orange. I want to start by saying that it rained on our wedding day, and therefore could not have our ceremony outside and had limited photo opportunities outside.
