“My son had his 9th birthday at NVSA. He and his friends had a great time playing basketball and kickball! All the staff were really friendly and accommodating. Definitely recommend this place for birthday events!”

“Grateful, with my friends for giving me the opportunity to meet and share with them in such a beautiful place, on the first floor enjoy the dance atmosphere with delicious food and drinks ideal for birthday celebrations and on the second floor enjoy with family in the same way celebrate birthdays, anniversaries, marriage proposals, etc.”

“I have passed by many times but never had an occasion where u til last night. I was pleasantly surprised once I stepped inside because the outside is rather plain and doesn't hint of the tasteful and elegant inside. The front door opens to a lovely atrium area adorned with a huge flower arrangement in an urn with a bar and seating area. It is lovely tan and brown marble with bronze lighting fixtures and comfortable and booth seating. The food was done very very well. In stark contrast to a wedding I went to at a different well known catering hall a few weekends ago, the buffet was on point. The fried calamari was brought out small trays at a time often so that it remained crispy on the buffet. The cheese was delicious and actually tasted like cheese. The chicken franchise was tasty of lemons and butter and not overdone or mushy. The coating wasn't falling off in a wet heap like we sometimes see. The salads were fresh and delicious. The roasted peppers were certainly made in house because they had roasted flavor with brown grill marks and the garlic slices tasted like freshly sauced garlic. The drinks were on point. The bartender assured me she could make a good old fashioned, and indeed she did! I highly recommend this place”

“Had such a great experience booking this venue. Management was extremely accommodating and easy to reach . The venue was spacious and I rented both top and bottom to give the kids space to run and play! Would definitely book again”

“MO’s Banquet Hall is top notch! I would recommend this hall to anyone looking for a place to throw a party. Max is amazing and very helpful made my daughter’s Sweet 16 run smoothly and took the stress off of me and I was able to enjoy the night. The bartenders were amazing no complaints the photographer and videographer captured beautiful pictures and so attentive all night! If you are looking for a place this is it a one stop shop..Max again thank you for your service and your dedication and for making my daughter’s Sweet 16 a night we won’t ever forget!”

“My experience at the restaurant was a bit overwhelming due to the noise and crowded atmosphere, especially on a Friday night with live music. Despite the tight arrangement of tables making it difficult to move around, the food and service were excellent. I particularly enjoyed the vegetarian dish with pasta and plan on returning for it. My friends also loved their salmon dishes and couldn't stop raving about how delicious it was. Overall, while the ambiance was not to my liking, the quality of the food and service made up for it.”

“Have been there several times (for a celebration of life, several big family birthdays).The food is very good. The hospitality is excellent. Price is fair for a large gathering. They are very willing to accommodate special requests at the events you have there.”

“My spouse and I looked at around 11 other venues, and none come close to what you get at The Estate at Florentine Gardens. First off, the whole venue is GORGEOUS, with a beautiful, freshly made ceremony room, cozy but classy cocktail room, and a spectacular elegant ballroom for your reception. Even the hallways, groomsmen suite, and the bridal suites are amazing - they're big, stunning and are perfect for getting ready. If you're considering a winter or summer wedding, this venue is perfect. Even you're in the summer and it gets rained out, you'll still have a picture-perfect ceremony room, so really there is no need to worry. We did our wedding just a week ago and it was amazing!Not only does this venue wow your guests in terms of how it looks, but the staff are INCREDIBLE. We worked with Samantha (our event consultant), Jeffery (our maître d'), Monica (our bridal attendant), Max (helped with the groomsmen) Sal (entertainment services), DJ Tony Gia, and Shar (videographer). From day 1, Samantha was always enthusiastic and patient about our many many many questions that we asked throughout the whole entire year before our wedding. She was a joy to work with! Everything was done professionally and the answers provided truly reflects how much this venue knows and understands how to run a good wedding. Monica, Jeffery, and Max were with us the day of the wedding and they truly ran the show behind the scenes. They were there to answer any questions, take all the stress off of us and our families, and made sure everything was on time and done well. There was really nothing we needed to worry about because Jeffery, Monica, and Max were well coordinated and knew exactly what to do, even with our outside vendors (photographer and florist).One of the best things about The Estate at Florentine Gardens is that they also have amazing entertainment services. If you end up booking this venue, we highly recommend using Sal Travis and his team. Sal was always ready to provide us good song selections and help us craft our package for what we would like to have (lighting, videography, DJ, sparkler towers photo booth, ceremony music, and so much more). DJ Tony Gia was the best - he kept our dance floor up and dancing the whole night and was an amazing MC. Sal's team of videographers were also outstanding and blew our guests away. They were able to catch everything live and even produce an amazing wrap-up video to display at the end of the night.Our friends and families members who have been to so many weddings before said that our wedding was the best wedding that they have ever been to, and we know that it's because The Estate at Florentine Gardens is 1. beautiful, 2. provides the highest quality of service, and 3. is truly working to ensure your day goes smoothly, and 4. the food is so DELICIOUS!! (we had endless amounts of food flowing from our cocktail to reception to after, everyone said they were so full and thought it tasted so so good)!So a HUGE THANK YOU to the Florentine team for making our wedding day the best day it could have ever been.”

“The rockleigh is an amazing venue ! Beautiful ballroom great staff amazing food. And vendor friendly. Zara & Jeff are awesome to work with. Can’t wait to do more events !”

“I HIGHLY recommend RAIN. My daughter’s bat mitzvah was epic. Scott and Miriam covered every detail making it so easy and simple to throw a smooth and fun event. The DJ, emcee and dancers were incredible and had the whole crowd - from ages 2 to 52 dancing for the Bat Mitzvah girl- they just get it! And the space is so easy to customize to your own look. The parking made it very easy for our city friends to pull up and have a blast!! Thank you so much Scott and Miriam!!”

“If you have never been to the Seasons you are missing out! The seasons is one of the top venues in New Jersey and an absolute treat to photograph a wedding at!As a wedding photographer it is super important to work at a venue that has scenic opportunities so that may couples don't have to find an outside park somewhere to do their photos. The Seasons does not disappoint with that! They have beautiful waterfalls, a gorgeous garden area and an amazing indoor staircase! (see attached photos)Finally lets talk about their AMAZING cocktail hour! It's honestly the thing i look forward to the most when working here!I highly recommend this venue for anyone on the fence looking to book it!”

“I must say that the concert I attended this past Saturday was a true delight. What a majestic theater. Every detail from the floor to the ceiling is so intricate and beautifully displayed. The location itself is a work of art. Feeling amazed still.”

“I recently attended the catholic daughters of the Americas Court, Saint Anne. 100 th Anniversary.The entire staff was on point, swift and courteous!! Our food was delicious. The view overlooking the Hudson and the TZ bridge was beautiful. We were waiting for a rainbow!! Decor was so tastefully done. ? Can’t wait to go back for another event.”

“Love this place. Christy has created something truly beautiful, uplifting, and communal. From the giant windows, tall ceilings, varied seating options, quiet area, multiple phone booths, I love being here. And love all the events that come with membership. Christy's impeccable taste is evident in everything from furnishings, to styling to amenities, and her warm spirit invites us all to be kind to each other.”

“As a florist, working at Edgewood Country Club is always a wonderful experience for myself and my team.As a client, planning my sister’s baby shower with my mom - we were blown away with how well Eric and the entire team at Edgewood took care of us.Everything was seamless, the food was incredible and the service was not only top tier but thoughtful.For example - I made a joke at one of our meetings about how I loved espresso martinis and Eric added a note to our food and beverage order immediately to ensure the staff was able to make espresso martinis that day!Speaking of Eric - in my work life I’ve worked with easily hundreds of event managers in New York and New Jersey and Eric is a standout talent in this field.Love love love this place!”

“Food is pretty good. I didn't love the special that I had but it was okay and I really liked the appetizer of the burrata. My friend had the veal parmesan and she said that she really liked it.”

“My absolute favorite restaurant of all time. Best lobster bisque you will ever have in your life! All the meats are cooked to perfection, and the sides are amazing. Salad bar is top notch also.”

“Went to F&J Pine with my wives for my birthday. Place was packed with family & friendship. Had a delectable spread of seafood, Zuppe de Pesce, Calamari Calabrese, & Penne a la Vodka. Ate like king & queens!! *Chef's kiss* 10/10 recommend. Bring a friend & stellar vibes.”

“We cannot leave Avenue enough stars.We used Avenue event space for our sons bar mitzvah and we could not be happier.From the moment we met Arial, his customer service was amazing.You can truly feel that he cares about your event.The communication was always quick and painless.The venue is gorgeous and they have everything that you need, from the food, the entertainment, their staff and service. We could not be happier .We truly recommend them for any life celebration!”

“They were amazing helping us with our first dance. We both had limited dance experience but Yavet was patient, fun and challenged us to learn a really cool dance!”

“My kid was a bit shy and scared at first, but the instructors here are wonderful. They will guide you all the way through and are very patient. They give one on one lessons as well. Great vibes and the kids are always ready to hit the bag.”

“I had my daughters 9 birthday here and she had an amazing birthday. The staff was the absolute best. Extremely accommodating! Everything was super organized and clean.”

Ask for Mike the bartender.Kid-friendliness: They have chicken fingers, hamburgers mozzarell sticks and french fries for the kids.Wheelchair accessibility: Everything is on the first floor with spacious room to get through tables.”

“There are simply not enough words to express our gratitude for the exceptional job the staff of The Royal Manor did hosting our daughter's wedding. From our first meeting with Carmel, we were confident that we had found the perfect venue for the celebration. Our guests raved about both how delicious the food was and the amazing selection! Honestly; however, aside from the food and ambiance, it was truly Carmel, Magda, Mario and Amanda, to name a few, who made my daughter and son-in-law's wedding a night to remember!”

“The BEST venue for what we needed! Celebrated our baby boy’s 1st birthday here a few weeks back. We used their clown who did face painting, animal balloons, and cotton candy as well. The kids loved it, even the adults wanted to get their faces painted! Lourdes was amazing and accommodating from the first day we met her. Answered all of our questions and was always available to contact in case of anything. Would recommend (and already have) to my friends for all future events. Thanks again Lourdes!”

“Let me start by saying that I am the bride that did not want the hassle of a wedding but ended up having one anyway. A huge factor was the staff at the Westchester Manor and how incredible they were. From the beginning of the planning process until the big day, John Gresia and his team made the process of wedding planning a breeze. John had recommendations for local vendors, in which we used his vendor John for the photobooth, and we cannot say enough good things! Aside from being a beautiful, local venue, the food and attention to detail were excellent. My husband and I had our reception at the Westchester Manor on November 11th, 2023 and it exceeded our expectations in every way! We received positive feedback from all our friends and family, which made it all the more worth it. Our guests to this day are still complimenting us on the service and the food served from cocktail hour, through dinner and dessert. John was always available to answer any questions, was super accommodating through the process, and made everything run even more seamlessly the day of. I cannot wait to have future events here. Thank you John and the team!!”

“Without any hesitation at all, I HIGHLY recommend Powerhouse Studios Paramus. Lisa Messing and staff covered everything to ensure a perfect party. Emcee Devon kept the party going all night long and the kids were beyond happy. Not only was the place amazing and the food incredible, but the staff happen to be some of the kindest people. I LOVED working with Powerhouse and I got many comments from my guests on how incredible the space and food is. I give them an A+++”

“This venue was amazing! The place is very clean. The waiters were very friendly. The chefs too and the food is delicious. Overall this place was absolutely amazing with great service.”

“It was easy to get into for me being handicapped. Employees were polite & friendly. Nice screen. Unfortunately seats were difficult to get out of AND coming out they locked the main doors & sign said exit side door where there was no way a handicapped person could walk or be pushed in wheelchair. That said, we may give it another shot.”

“Celebrated my 32nd birthday with my home girls and the wait is insane if you're not there all together to be seated so make sure your RSVPs are there when you arrive and you have to arrive on time cause waiting for a table is crazy ...the food was bomb like wow the music and the atmosphere was really good the service was a bit off we would ask for something and get it 20 to 30 min laterParking: If you don't get there 2hrs before your event parking is impossible.Kid-friendliness: Kids were in here to my surprise but only for the birthday brunches and dinners after that they were gone because of the adult night hours”
