Venues & Event Spaces near Lodi, NJ

“This is the best VFW in the state if you’re looking for a space to rent !! Had my wedding reception here and from step 1 Jesse was nothing but helpful and excited as if I were his own daughter. He made sure the space was able to transform into my dream venue and gave us free rein over what we wanted the place to look like. The building is all freshly renovated and is honestly one of the prettiest VFWs I’ve ever seen. When the day of the wedding came everything went wrong on my end and the day was chaotic. I called to let Jesse know and he immediately had the Worlds best bartender Mike call me and assure that the night would run smoothly. Once we got there the party was on, Mike went above & beyond and my family was raving about him afterwords. VFW Lodi made my wedding day one of the best days of my life. I would recommend them 1000 times over!!!”

“Macaluso’s was the absolute perfect place to celebrate my 60th birthday. From start to finish, the service was unbelievable. Carlos and Alex were incredibly attentive to every detail I asked for and made sure everything ran seamlessly. The food was amazing and plentiful. Our guests couldn’t stop talking about it. Everyone was beyond pleased, and the owners could not have been more accommodating. It truly was a night to remember, and I’m so grateful to the entire Macaluso’s team.”

“Thanks again for the warm hospitality. The location is great and the room just feels like home, nice and quite.I personally thanks Saloua for her excellent hospitality and care. Will definitely come back.”

“Choosing The Estate at Florentine Gardens for our wedding in November was one of the best decisions we made. From the moment we arrived, everything felt elegant, warm, and incredibly well thought out — but what truly made our experience unforgettable was the exceptional staff.

Every single person we worked with was perfectly accommodating, professional, and genuinely kind, making us feel completely supported throughout the entire day. Our wedding attendant, Monica, deserves the highest praise and biggest shout out— she was attentive, thoughtful, and always one step ahead of my needs (especially with the many outfit changes). Without her, I don't know what I would've done. My husband and I were able to relax and fully enjoy every moment without worrying about a single detail.

Our wedding coordinator, Samantha, was absolutely amazing throughout the planning process. She was organized, responsive, and incredibly helpful, guiding us with care and expertise every step of the way. Having her support made the entire experience feel seamless and stress-free.

And the cocktail hour food...omg truly the best ever. It was abundant, beautifully presented, and unbelievably delicious. We still hear our guests raving about it and telling us it was the best cocktail hour they’ve ever experienced at a wedding.

The grounds were stunning, the flow of the evening was flawless, and every detail was executed with such precision and heart. It genuinely felt like the entire team at Florentine Gardens was invested in making our wedding perfect — and they absolutely succeeded.

If you are looking for a venue that delivers timeless elegance, unmatched service, and an unforgettable guest experience, The Estate at Florentine Gardens is the one. We would choose it again without hesitation.

Highly, highly recommend ?

“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!”

“I've taken several lessons with Hugh Heo. He has worked with me to relearn how to swing from the ground up. There has been a very noticeable improvement to my ability to play well and consistently after practicing what he has been teaching. I highly recommend him to anyone looking to get better.”

“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 my wife's surprise 70th birthday party at the Park West Loft last weekend and it was a fantastic night thanks to Chris and his staff. The food and service was great and Chris was meticulous about planning the event, yet extremely easy to work with. He made sure everything went smoothly, including surprising my wife, which went off with out a hitch. The venue itself is wonderful, with a NYC vibe, and is well designed for a party.
I would recommend Chris, his staff and the Park West Loft without reservation.”

“We hosted my daughter’s 4th birthday here and the team was exceptional. They were kind, patient and so thoughtful with the girls. Every detail was perfect. Couldn’t recommend enough!”

“My cousin got married here a few days ago and I must say - WHAT A VENUE!
It was beyond gorgeous - both inside and outside.
The food and desserts for the reception was top tier.
Will definitely be keeping this spot in mind for any events in the future.”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5 – A must-do New York experience
The Museum of the City of New York is an absolute gem. We loved every minute — it’s engaging, well curated and brings the story of New York to life in such an interesting and accessible way.The exhibits are informative without being overwhelming, and you walk away with a much deeper understanding of the city, its people and how it became what it is today.
If you’re visiting NYC, this should be on your list. A genuine must-do and a brilliant way to connect with the city beyond the usual tourist spots.”

“Yesterday I used the Workville Space for a team meeting with 10 people. It is a fantastic office space! The customer service is exceptional! Booking via email was super easy with a live person able to answer all questions. Once we arrived the reception administrator was super helpful and helped me set up my equipment. He was available throughout my meeting to help with any needs or questions. The space was clean, bright, professional and perfect for our needs. I will definitely be returning! I highly recommend Workville!”

“John, the manager, made my experience phenomenal. I'm an avid bowler who brought some out of town friends, he made our experience the best !! I recommend this place 100 percent. Ask for JOHN!”

“As a wedding photographer, I've worked at A LOT of venues. I've had the pleasure of working at Seasons a few times now and I must say the staff is not only helpful to me, but they go out of their way for the couples. And the food is VERY good. Highly recommend @caseyfphoto”

“Came here to watch a Knicks game with the Chicago Bulls. The arena is massive and always crowded but plenty of food options and restaurants. The service is always prompt and easy. Great ambiance for any sporting events or social gatherings.”

“We have not been able to stop raving about Riverview and about our experience there. I can’t say enough good things about The Riverview. The team made sure our event was more than we could have ever imagined and asked for. I must have called over 50 venues before choosing this one, and not a single place came close to the level of professionalism, kindness, and attention to detail that Stefania and Arthur showed us. My mother, who owned a party planning business for years, even said she’s never seen a venue handle things this smoothly and thoughtfully.

From the very beginning, they went above and beyond. They thought through every tiny detail - things I wouldn’t have even known to ask about. They were incredibly responsive, even on weekends, after hours, and late at night and always made us feel like we were their top priority. Because we live far from the venue, Stefania not only arranged a virtual walkthrough for us, she then actually went through the space herself, gathered  photos of each area, and sent them to us with descriptive details so we could decide which rooms we wanted to use for specific parts of the wedding. They were incredibly accommodating and flexible. They were on-top of scheduling multiple meetings to make sure our whole event was perfect and exactly the way we wanted it to be.

They offered so many thoughtful touches - like including a beautiful bench option for under the bedeckin and even a chuppah - and packed so much into the package that most venues would charge extra for. They kept in constant communication, checked in regularly, and scheduled multiple meetings to ensure we felt completely ready.

The day of the wedding, everything was flawless. My father is handicapped, and they took the time to sit down with us beforehand to plan everything out carefully - even measuring the aisle to make sure it was comfortable for him. That level of care meant the world to us.

The venue itself is absolutely STUNNING - it is so regal, elegant, and well-designed. Our photos came out gorgeous. Friends of ours are still talking about the gorgeous venue and how beautiful all the pictures came out. What stood out most was the team's honesty and transparency; nothing was hidden or last-minute. They even helped us make decisions that a typical venue would never get involved in, essentially stepping in like our own event planners when we didn’t have one.

I can honestly say I’ve never felt more taken care of by a company. One guest actually told me during the wedding, “I’ve never seen a more relaxed bride,” and that’s 100% thanks to Stefania and Arthur at the Riverview team. Their coordination, communication, and genuine care made our entire experience with them unforgettable. Truly blown away by Riverview and could not recommend them enough!!”

“Comfortable seats with amazing leg room. The theater kind of needs a little tlc but clean.

*****Call Me Izzy - Excellent show and story. Leaves you thinking at the end. I was Johanna Day and she was wonderful.”

“Excellent customer service and overall experience from the second our cab pulled up! The room was perfectly clean, including the bathroom and kitchen. Bed was very comfortable. Breakfast room service is exceptional, dinner, not so much. At least what we ordered for dinner wasn't good. It was the fettuccine and suppose to be a white wine sauce if I remember correctly. The pasta tasted microwaved, and there was hardly any sauce. A better bet would be to go to the Italian restaurant downstairs for dinner, and the restaurant upstairs (where room service is from) for breakfast. We LOVED our French toast, potatoes and peppers, sausage, and berries. So so good. We ordered pastries the next morning and those were really good too. Housekeeping did a phenomenal job as well! We will be back :-)”

“I attended JFRE event last month or another name is Japanese Food & Restaurant Expo. It was super nice to see tons of vender and restaurant owner. It is a good opportunity to get contract and explore more high quality or get a good deal for your business if you are in this industry. The convention has separate section between food, drink and equipment. It was less people in the morning but super packed in the afternoon.”

“Midtown loft was great to work with the whole time! My wedding came out amazing. They were very responsive to anything we needed the whole year we were planning with them. Could not recommend this venue enough!”

“I hosted my husband’s surprise 40th birthday party at Halo Lounge, and I can't say enough about how incredible the entire experience was! From start to finish, everything was seamless, stress-free, and exceeded all expectations.

Sal, the owner, was an absolute pleasure to work with—very responsive, friendly, truly accommodating, and so easy to work with. From our first meeting, he walked me through every detail, making the planning process effortless. He stayed in touch throughout, answered all my questions, and ensured everything was set up exactly as I envisioned.

The venue itself is next-level! It has a cool nightclub vibe (can easily transform the space to fit your event type), with a state-of-the-art sound system, an incredible light show, and a massive 32-foot bar that was a huge hit with our guests. The flexible seating and table setups let us customize the space exactly how we desired. Super easy parking.

What really sets Halo apart is how much they offer to simplify event planning. We booked their Starlite DJ, and he was phenomenal—playing all our favorite songs while seamlessly mixing in his own picks to match the crowd’s energy. He kept the vibe high all night and was amazing on the mic! They also offer catering services, backdrops, photo booths, décor add-ons, and much more, making the entire process so much easier!

And let’s talk about the Halo team—absolutely amazing! Our two bartenders were pros, serving up fantastic drinks and handling our crowd of 60 effortlessly. Huge shoutout to Julio—the true MVP of the night! From setup to the very end, he made sure everything ran smoothly, handled any requests with patience and a positive attitude, and went above and beyond to help. Julio, you are the best!

My husband had an unforgettable night, and our guests haven’t stopped raving about how fun the party was and how unique the venue is. If you’re looking for the perfect place to host an incredible event, Halo Lounge is the place! We will definitely be hosting future events at Halo and recommending it to our friends and family. Highly, highly recommend! Thank you, Sal! ?”

“We just got married at Edgewood Country Club on New Years Eve and it was the most amazing night of our lives. This venue blows any NJ venue away. We are so grateful for Eric, Taylor, Aramis, and Vicky for being everywhere we turned that day to lend a helping hand and for running such a spectacular day of events for us. Every single wedding guest cannot stop talking about the food and the beauty of the venue. We are thrilled we chose Edgewood CC for our wedding and we wish we could relive the day over and over again. I cannot recommend them enough. They know what they are doing and do it with joy!! Thank you to everyone at Edgewood you really are rockstars!”

“Gorgeous venue for a special occasion! They can do just about anything you envision. Staff is professional, world-class, and wonderful. The location is fantastic, being a few blocks from Times Square, and in a central location on Broadway. The space is upscale, luxurious, and classy.”

“We loved this quiet, quaint hotel in the best location. The only downside was a strange smell in the hallway and elevator, which may have been due to the extreme cold. We would stay here again.”

“Instructors for kids programs are excellent. 4 yo has been really enjoying going to class for the last year and looks forward to class every week. Skills progressing rapidly. Highly recommend”

“10/10 experience - perfect for any occasion whether you’re on your own or with a group. Our instructor Carmine was so kind and helpful & the BYOB night was so fun!”

“We got married at Glen Ridge Country Club in June, and I couldn't recommend it more! The entire team was amazing- they were so easy to work with and made the whole process enjoyable and fun! They listened closely to our vision and ensured every detail was exactly what we wanted. On the day of, Paige and her team handled everything flawlessly, allowing us to fully enjoy each moment without stress. We’re so happy we chose GRCC for our wedding—it was truly perfect!”
