“We attended a baby shower at Galloping Hill Golf Course, and everything was wonderful. The venue was beautiful, clean, and well maintained. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made sure everything ran smoothly. The atmosphere was perfect for celebrating with family and friends. It was a great experience.”
“I recently held my baby shower at Zenith Events. The space is clean and intimate. Loved that there was a separate area for food. I booked the gold package and got my money's worth!”
“We had our wedding at the Pleasantdale Chateau this past Saturday, and calling it extraordinary somehow still feels like an understatement. Multiple guests have already told us this was the best wedding they’ve ever been to—and we completely agree.
When planning, we seriously debated between the Pleasantdale and several famous New York City venues. Choosing the Pleasantdale was the best decision we’ve ever made—and that is truly not an exaggeration.
What sets the Pleasantdale apart is the combination of outstanding service and extraordinary food. The staff is attentive, warm, and seamlessly professional in a way that makes you feel completely taken care of from start to finish. Every detail was handled with precision and genuine care, allowing us to actually relax and enjoy our day. And the food—absolutely unreal. Guests are still talking about how incredible every course was, from cocktail hour through dessert.
The property itself is stunning, but it’s the experience the Pleasantdale team creates that makes it unforgettable. Our wedding felt elegant, joyful, and effortless—all because of them.
We cannot recommend the Pleasantdale Chateau highly enough. If you are considering it for your wedding or special event, stop looking. This venue is truly in a league of its own.”
“Amazing venue. I booked it twice for my bachelorette party and wedding a day apart. It worked out great! The staff was very helpful. The building’s historical vibes really make the pictures unique. We were close to 200 people and it didn’t feel crammed at all. Louis in particilar was amazing with all of his help. He really understood me and helped a lot! I would definitely recommend it.”

They staff was very nice and helpful.”

We had an amazing Wedding and we cannot thank the team at Brooklake enough! Our guests still compliment the food…shout out to the fried pickles a crowd favorite! Literally sooooo much food, we could not be happier! The Bridal Attendant Vanessa also deserves a shoutout for being your right hand woman for the day, ready to help with anything you need. Thank you Brooklake!”

“My 5 yr old daughter loves coming to Parteaz Mini camp!! Susan and her staff are so caring, playful, fun and keeps her busy with princess dress up, arts and crafts, music, games and so many fun activities through the day! She’s always asking to come back, I love the flexibility as for a working mom and there’s no school I know I can trust my daughter will be in good hands with Parteaz camp!”
“We hosted my son and daughter in laws baby shower at this event space and couldn’t recommend it enough.

“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.”
“Say man… when I tell you this was the perfect spot for my mother’s 70th birthday celebration!!! The owners are absolutely wonderful, kind, loving and very honest. Very honest!! I highly recommend this place for any event(s) anyone has in mind.
To Tamia and husband, you have my family sincere gratitude ♥”
“I’ve been taking lessons with Monica in Montclair, and the improvement in my game is night and day. She has an incredible eye for technical adjustments—she fixed my backhand follow-through in just one session. She’s patient but firm, ensuring you get the most out of every basket of balls. If you’re looking to actually level up your USTA rating or just hit more consistently, Erica is the pro to see.”
“This was my second time using this hall. Joe and Mark was amazing to work with. They made everything convenient for our event and they were very accommodating. I will be back! It was a pleasure.”
“I gotta say this place looks tough. The inside had good air conditioning, and the studio looked amazing. I would definitely attend or even have an event in here.”
“Came here with my 2 year old. This place is excellent. Huge space, plenty of room for everyone and ton of activities and toys. People are kind. A special shoutout to the onsite cafe- the personal pizza pie will rival most pizzerias in quality. Anyone with a negative review- you must be one of the types that complain about everything. This place is perfect to keep your toddlers engaged and get social interaction with other babies without being on top of each other.”
“Brenda is AMAZING!!! She was accommodating and communicative every step of the way. She was sweet and understanding with any little inconvenience we experienced and was willing to help. I will be booking again!!!! Very nice place to book with.”
“I’m so happy to write this review! I was planning a rehearsal dinner for my son’s wedding. I was not familiar with the area near the wedding venue. I specifically wanted a location to accommodate 50+ people and allow me to bring in my own alcohol. I found The Warehouse online. Right from the start, I was greeted warmly by Lisa, who was able to talk me through the space, menu, staffing, pricing, etc. She patiently answered my litany of questions, worked within my budget, and presented me with a menu and plan for the evening. In a nutshell, the food was fantastic, the space was beautiful (shabby chic/rustic), very comfortable for the group. The staff managing our dinner, led by Noemi, was superb! She attended to every detail, beautifully displayed the bar options, food, and desserts. Not a detail was missed! We never felt rushed in anyway. I highly recommend The Warehouse for any event!”
“Loved this space!! In a great location, space is nice & spacious..it was perfect for my event! Owner is very nice & accommodating. Will definitely book an event here in the future!!”
“We had an amazing experience with Food Company for our daughter's graduation party. The food was unbelievable, and every detail was attended to with such care. Everything from the charcuterie boards to the plated strawberry shortcake was just delicious. Our guests had a wonderful time!”
“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.”
“Fantastic event at YCI!
I had a great experience at YCI! My sister recently held her wedding here, and it was obvious from the moment we were greeted by Dee that we were in expert hands. The space is large and convenient, but the real highlight was the hospitality.
Parking: It can be a little tough since there isn't a dedicated lot right at the door, but there is one within a short walking distance.
I highly recommend YCI to anyone looking to host an event in NJ. I’ll definitely be back!”
“AMAZING venue!! We rented the entire facility for a sports-themed Bar Mitzvah with a couple hundred people. Kids AND adults all had a blast as there was something for everyone. Amy is the BEST to work with - helped to make our vision come alive and kept everything running smoothly all night. Very flexible space - highly recommend!”
“Amazing event space that is both cozy and open. It can be transformed into whatever your heart desires. The rental process is easy, Amanda is communicative and helpful throughout. Courtney, our event host/bartender was the BEST! Hospitable, helpful, attentive and made the best drinks. Would recommend and will definitely be using the venue again”
“I had my birthday party here and Yuvonne was friendly , professional and was so easy to communicate with . The day of my event the associate that was assigned to my party Portia was absolutely amazing. The event space, bathroom and holding area was clean . The place was setup the way I asked and the hall was nice and cool upon arrival. Thank you Yuvonne - The Suite On Park .”
“My daughter had an amazing time at Grooves Unlimited, I am very impressed by the level of professionalism, teaching and dedication they show towards their students. I am so happy we found this place, I highly recommend it to any parent who is looking to improve their children confidence and dance technique.”
“This distillery experience is very entertaining and enjoyable! We came to hang out for my best friend's birthday and had a fantastic time with the owner Rich. We felt so comfortable drinking, hanging out and talking. I would highly recommend coming ro this establishment.”
