“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!”
“The Pleasantdale Chateau is an amazing venue! I felt I was transported back in time to a Tudor Castle. The food and drinks were top notch! It was a unique and very pleasant experience”

“SOMA backStage Reading Series - New Musical: She Reached For Heaven the actors were great. The play was very good, albeit I would recommend that the beginning be tighten as it was a little slow. The ending also needs a little work.
It was great to be able to attend a work in progress.”
“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.”
“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!”

“This was our second year having our daughter's birthday at Parteaz. She loved the first party so much that she talked all year about her next party at Parteaz! Our experience was just as fantastic the second time around. Everything was polished, professional, and organized. We didn't have to lift a finger and could be confident that everything would be taken care of. The space was clean and beautifully put together, and the staff was really kind and fun. Most importantly the kids all had a terrific time!”
“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!”
“My wife and I love Sticks. You love everything about Sticks; The service, the vibe, the music and the patrons. Everyone is very friendly. We always feel welcome.”
“My band played here this past weekend and I was blown away by how good the staff was. They keep everything clean and tidy, the food prep was outstanding and facilities are beautiful all around. There was even a Karen who tried to spoil the party but the staff jumped all over that too ? well done guys!!!!”
“The food and service has always been "TOP NOTCH". I have come with multi family members on different occasions. The owner always greet me with a smile and return to table to make sure everything is up to par.
I only regret is that they are only open Thursday to Sunday.”
“It's always a pleasure to visit local distilleries, especially ones that know how to craft a real cocktail. Although we only sampled two drinks, we can safely recommend Heathermeade (Tree City vodka) based on the high caliber drinks we ordered. We were delighted by the traditional Old Fashioned and by the Cucumber Cranberry vodka.”

“The show was amazing the seats we had were off to the side. Highly don’t recommend because some parts we couldn’t see. The seats were locked close together. The theater was very clean and offered a variety of drink led & snacks. We will be back however purchasing sets in the middle”
“I dealt with Brenda and she was absolutely wonderful. It was such a smooth process from start to finish. When I walked in the day of the party the hall was spotless !!! That made it so easy to get straight to decorating, they give you ample time for set up and cleanup.”

“Our first time at UCPAC's Hamilton Stage was very positive: We saw high-level acting, singing, musicianship and stagecraft (via, Sondheim's "A Little Night Music") that was closer to Broadway than to community theater, at a reasonable price. We sat close up, in an easy, intimate venue, with free parking nearby. We'll be checking out other productions there, for sure.”
“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!”
“Doug from outside services from the best tour and history of the course. He took time out of his day to show me around the course bc i was visiting. Im excited to revisit. Doug is the best. 14 years of

“We had the beautiful room on the 2nd floor. We received many compliments about the brick walls. The flower wall that the staff set up for us was a big hit. Everything worked out perfectly. I would recommend and use again.”
“I had my wedding at the Richfield Regency and it was such a dream! Trish and the team made our wedding planning so smooth and it all came out so beautiful! THE FOOD... wow, it was delicious! My guest are still talking about my wedding and how good the food was and let's not forget about the dessert presentation, that was one of my favorite parts! Thank you Trish & team once again for making my special day so perfect!”

“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.”
“We had my wife's 40th birthday party here and had a great time. The has a hip and modern cocktail bar atmosphere perfect for our group of about 25 people but I think the space can easily be comfortable for 50+. The bartender they provided was a great mixologist and super friendly. I would use this spot again!”
“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.”
