Venues & Event Spaces near Rutherford, NJ

“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 went here for a social event but did not stay. It is really a very beautiful hotel from what we saw: lobby, bathrooms, conference rooms, common areas. Staff was very helpful. There was a restaurant called Finch and a bar but we didn't use either.”

“Definitely recommend! This is my second time coming, it’s fun and a good time for any event: birthday, anniversary, date night, bachelorette! There are numerous candle scents that you can mix and match.”

“Where do I even begin with this stunning venue. Well let’s start with the most amazing human being Garry he was the most kindest and energetic person from the moment we walked through the door and than to the big day he made us feel like family and made feel at home. Cheers to you Garry, you and your amazing staff as well was the most supportive and attentive ever. They made sure that our bridal party, parents, grandparents, and of course us had anything and everything we needed. We couldn’t be any more happy that we got share such spectacular day. If I could give this venue more stars I would give 1,000,000 stars. Everyone that came could and can not stop raving about this venue. Highly highly recommend these amazing people and this gorgeous venue. YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED.”

“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.”

“Beautiful solo date/ date night experience. The staff makes you feel welcomed and comfortable. The instructions are very easy to follow. All the amazing scents to choose and the vast variety of vessels. I had an amazing time with my mom for her birthday. Thank you to the staff for making it such an amazing night.

Would definitely recommend I would definitely come again with my friends!”

“This theatre takes you back into time with its preservation! The Christmas Show featuring the Rockettes was superbly executed keeping the audience attentive and captivated through the show! A must see when in NYC during the holiday season.”

“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!”

“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.”

“This place was really cool! A bit crowded in the begining but once you finish the history hallway, youre free to explore the station with more room. Its quite cold in there except for the metrocard display. The gift shop is also nice and it has a nice selection of items (however it can be pricey) I got there at 1230pm and left when it closed at 4pm.”

“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!”

“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!”

“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.”

“My girlfriend and I attended the Valentine's Day Concert last night and it was a WONDERFUL event. The selection of music was wonderful and the musicians were amazing....”

“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 always appreciate venues that offer both incredible views and a seamless experience—and Tribeca Rooftop + 360° does exactly that. The rooftop provides one of the best panoramic views of NYC, making it a stunning backdrop for portraits, especially around sunset. Indoors, the modern, open space can be transformed to fit any couple’s vision, whether they’re going for something classic, romantic, or contemporary.

Beyond the aesthetics, the team here is fantastic. They’re organized, professional, and make sure everything flows smoothly, which makes a huge difference in how stress-free and enjoyable the day feels for couples (and their vendors!).

If you’re looking for a wedding venue with an unbeatable cityscape, great lighting, and a team that truly knows how to run an event, Tribeca Rooftop + 360° is always a great choice.”

“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!!”

“Lots of delicious options at the wide spread of food stalls. A diverse crew of people, students, families, and the rest of us taking a breather from our ordinary shopping chores.Fun to try new cuisines, excellent quality across the board.A little strangely laid out, but the confusion is part of fun.”

“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.”

“The most amazing community center with an incredible selection of events, offerings and exhibits to support local! Loved coming here for an event- everything was so community focused.”

“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.”

“Nestled in tranquility, Housing works bookstore invites you to savor a book over a steaming cup of coffee. The impeccable service, though unobtrusive, adds to the charm. While the book collection isn’t extensive, it remains a delightful haven for leisurely moments.”

“I absolutely love love love The Little Gym. We were looking for something new to put our daughter in that she would actually enjoy. She is always talking about how much she loves her gymnastics class and her coaches, especially Coach Kayla. Coach Val, Coach Kayla and Coach Sophia are the best!!! My favorite thing about the classes is how they have different themes and switch it up all the time to help keep her engaged and excited week after week. Highly recommend!”

“We like to stay here for a couple weeks at a time
Location is near Chinatown near all the good food
Rooms are spacious and affordable
Everyone is very very kind

They give you two waters that can be refilled on floors 2 and 15
The front desk also had Kore coffee deals
Fridges are empty, which is good for long-term stays
The cleaner went out of her way to ask if we needed our room cleaned while we were out for breakfast”

“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.”

“The Pixel Lab was super nostalgic! From the front, it looks tiny but they offer a lot. There were a bunch of classic video and arcade games and I love that it's only $25 for a game pass or pay per hour. The day pass includes unlimited all you can drink fountain sodas and seltzers too so you'll never go thirsty here. You can also bring your own bottle and/or food and watch movies they play on a projector on the back wall. My boyfriend and I had a great time here, especially playing classic games on the Nintendo. Highly recommend for a fun night out!”

“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 :-)”

“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!”

“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”

“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.”
