“Great venue. Easy access to tickets for a variety of events available online. Staff are all personable and accommodating. Parking can be challenging, but not impossible. Lots of dining options in town and nearby Maplewood.”
“I recently celebrated my 50th birthday at the Women’s Club of Glen Ridge, and it was an incredible experience from start to finish. The venue is beautiful and created the perfect atmosphere for such a special day.
Elizabeth was extremely helpful during the planning process—from helping with floorplans and securing event licenses to coordinating with vendors. Her attention to detail made everything seamless and stress-free.
Luis was also fantastic on the weekend of the event—professional, attentive, and supportive throughout. Thanks to their team, the event was a great success. I highly recommend the Women’s Club of Glen Ridge for any special occasion!”
“Great Theatre for families and couples and just with friends or yourself! A variety of different shows throughout the year keep them comming back for more. Check out the Classic movie nights in an Authentic MOVIE PALACE !!! ?”
“I threw a birthday party for my husband and I have to say this place was amazing. The owner was super helpful, very responsive and the staff were amazing, we had a blast. I would highly recommend this place!”
“What an amazing venue, La Masion did not disappoint me or my guests, 5 years ago I celebrated my 45th birthday, it was so amazing then that I returned to celebrate my 50th. I recommend this venue to everyone celebrating. Yamel was so patient and the most helpful person I’ve ever worked with when it comes to the organization of a party. Thank you La Masion Venue, thank you for the great memories you’ve helped me create!”
“We had our first and second baby shower here and I will keep recommending everyone to book this place for an event! Lina is such an amazing host, I couldn’t put in words how helpful and kind she was the whole time. Since we were returning customers, she helped us so much more than we could have ever asked for! She goes above and beyond and really made my experience feel like a breeze. You will not go wrong booking with them.”
“We recently celebrated our daughter's Sweet 16 at The Grand at Ruby Falls and everything was absolutely perfect from start to finish. Frank was a pleasure to work with, and his team was exceptional - every staff member was attentive, professional and completely on point. The food was delicious, and I'm still getting texts and calls from guests raving about how amazing the party was. I highly recommend this venue and will definitely be hosting future events here.”
“The venue is in excellent condition. Beautiful. Parking was a bit confusing. Pre-paid Parking next to the CPAC was not available to retrieve from the website as indicated on the web page. There was a guy asking to be paid at the entrance of the lot but he had no credentials (uniform or otherwise) indicating he worked there. I took a picture of him and his vehicle.”
“I had my daughter’s 1st birthday here and everything was great! Trish and John are so nice and accommodating and were very responsive through email answering any questions. Very easy to work with. The staff was nice and willing to help in anyway, the food and drinks were good and all our guests were happy! We received a lot of compliment on what a nice party it was!”
“We hosted my son and daughter in laws baby shower at this event space and couldn’t recommend it enough. The owner was respectful, communicative, and very accommodating especially when we received news that a snowstorm was coming on the day of the event. She helped us to coordinate a new date and time to ensure our celebration happened. The event space was spacious and in a great location! We had an amazing time!”
“My brother got married here earlier this month and it was an amazing experience working with everyone at sapphire grand! The maitre ds were so helpful and on top of things, the venue is stunning, the food was delicious and everything was very well-organized! I would definitely recommend it for anyone!!”
“Indigo art studio was great for our son’s 6th birthday! They took care of everything and were so kind and accommodating. The party was a lot of fun for the kids and the adults. The party space is large and really cool, with a stage and graphics projected on the wall. Highly recommend!”
“Really enjoyable little nature spot. We tried to go to the New York Chinese Scholar Garden, but I don't think it was open on the day we went. So that was slightly disappointing but it's still a really cool place to walk around and be in nature. Went this past summer and I forgot how cool and vibrant green the grass was! It was a hot July day, but the trees and greenery adds a bit of a cooling sensation. I would recommend (or just giving myself advice) visiting in the spring or fall, for sure.”
“I recently had my baby shower in this venue.
I honestly had a great time and a great experience. Ellis and his team were so helpful and made my event go by super smooth. Everybody was really helpful and nice. The food was excellent, service was great. 10/10 loved the team that was helping me.”

Venues And Event Spaces
“I rented this venue for my son’s 1st birthday party yesterday and it was absolutely perfect! The space was beautiful inside. I love the brick finish and the bar is nice. It was so clean, love the open dance floor, and just the right size for our guests. The space was a good size. Was able to have a soft play area, a mini bouncy house, and a Dj, and still have room for a backdrop ,games and dancing room. Catered from them and the food was delicious, especially the Chicken Francese and Chicken Parmigiana (still getting text about the food from guests).The staff went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly, any questions they answered no problem, and the service was top-notch from start to finish. It was also very affordable compared to other venues I looked at. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Definitely highly recommend for any special event!”
“The place was great for spending time with friends and family. It was small compared to other bowling places I have been to but it doesn’t take away the fun I have had. The food was decent, not great but not the worst but the fried broccoli was a bit mushy. Other items were great, so were the sauces. Overall, this place can be visited for a good time.”
“All of the staff and programs at East Jersey Elite Allstars are incredible. I enrolled my 5-year-old niece in their tumbling program in January, and she has seen significant improvements in her tumbling progress ever since. Coach Michaeleddie, specifically, is amazing at giving instructions and constructive feedback, making the experience fun and challenging for kids. I'm looking forward to continuing our partnership with this gem/gym in Bayonne!”
“Thank you so much everything came out beautiful thank you teresa for you decoration people couldnt stop talking and the owner is the best, i recommend the place.”
“Fantastic place. This is the perfect place to celebrate a birthday party. They will enjoy getting pampered with extra fun singing & dancing with friends. Fun place.”
“Foi fundado em 1880 . Em 1887 foi realizado o primeiro evento de duplas masculinas do US Open , na época era chamado de Campeonato Nacional dos USA. Localizado em South Orange NJ e’ o segundo mais antigo de New Jersey. Atualmente é super frequentado pelos tenistas associados, possui um amplo espaço para eventos, um ótimo lugar para família.”
“We had the pleasure of hosting two pre-wedding events at Moghul Ballroom and we couldn’t have been happier with our experience. From start to finish, Mr. Shekar was incredibly helpful, attentive, and professional. He answered all our questions, worked closely with us to create a menu that perfectly suited our guests, and was present during the events to make sure everything ran smoothly.
The staff at Moghul Ballroom went above and beyond to make sure both events were seamless and enjoyable. The ballroom itself is beautiful and elegant. Every detail, from the setup to the service during the events, was handled with care and attention.
We truly appreciated the genuine effort to make our events special. We received countless compliments from our guests about the food and service. We highly recommend Moghul Ballroom for any special occasions!”
“In just a few days, the upcoming Lunar New Year brings the Year of the Dragon on February 10th among East and Southeast Asian cultures. It’s fifth in the 12-animal Chinese zodiac cycle and the only animal that’s a mythical creature. This afternoon, my partner and I arrived at the Woodland, located off of Woodland Road in Maplewood, to celebrate Lunar Fest NJ 2024—Maplewood Arts & Culture. Completed in 1930, the Georgian Revival-style mansion and adjoining auditorium have been a hub for Maplewood’s vibrant cultural and civic life for over eight decades. The unique event features lion dance, performances representing Chinese, Mongolian, Thali, and Korean cultures, children's activities, and delicious food trucks, which brought out the crowd.”
“I love the lower level of the Museum, which tells the history of the Island. The first floor is more about the nature on the island, and the second floor displays archaeological items and panels about the hospital for TB. You don't need to buy tickets in advance, and the staff there were nice.
One thing I didn't like about the museum was the music on the lower level, but other than that, it's a good place to check out. Taking pictures is allowed, but no flash and no videos.”
“Brilliant place for an event. Yes, it's in Newark, but don't let that turn you away. It has easy access from I-78 and while your event is running here valet parking in an extremly well lit parking lot gives you comfort on that end as well. The first level is eye candy for anyone into vintage cars or bikes. No, not a collection with a lot of depth, but that's not why you would be here. Upstairs is a spacious area for your event to continue in a more serious fashion. There is even a glassed in space perfect for the cigar smokers in your party. Though I do not know the details of the sourcing, the food served at the event worked out really well too.”
“Fun and convenient. Very close to our neighborhood. They offer trainers and clinics for all ages. Our eight year old participates in the clinics and loves to go there recreationally as a family adventure.”
“I recently visited Union Sports Arena to explore it as a potential venue for a private event and had the pleasure of chatting with Ken. To my surprise, the facility is more expansive than it appears from the outside. Ken graciously gave me a tour, showcasing the main rink complemented by a smaller practice rink and a snug indoor field area.The upstairs food shop exuded a welcoming atmosphere, making it seem like a fantastic spot to unwind. Additionally, they offer birthday rental options.They've been there for over 22 years, yet it's a spot I've driven by countless times without paying notice. Tucked off Route 22 a bit, it doesn't stand out from the highway, but nonetheless, it left a lasting impression on me with the story of why they started and the very family-oriented goals they practice.As I consider Union Sports Arena for my private event, I can't help but recommend it, especially for those venturing into hockey at various training levels. The facility seems to boast a great coaching team, promising a nurturing environment for learning and development.”
“I had the pleasure of hosting my twins' first birthday at the Mediterranean Manor, and I can't say enough about the fantastic manager, Mela, and the entire experience. Mela's professionalism and attention to detail truly made the event special. The food was excellent, and the spacious room provided a comfortable and welcoming atmosphere for our guests. The service was top-notch, and I couldn't have asked for a better place to celebrate this important milestone. Thank you, Mediterranean Manor and Mela, for an unforgettable experience!”
“I had a wonderful stay at the Crowne Plaza Newark. The service was outstanding, with Gladys, Diana, and Molly all going above and beyond to ensure a great experience. The rooms were clean and comfortable , which was helpful for my stay that had an early morning trip out of EWR the next day . The staff’s friendliness truly stood out, and I would highly recommend staying here. Thank you for the excellent hospitality!”
