Before it became our beloved event venue, the historic Crystal Plaza was originally a residential mansion. The initial Livingston, New Jersey-based residence was built in the late 1800s by famed architect Stanford White, who was responsible for designing the Tiffany building on Fifth Avenue, the original Madison Square Garden complex and the arch at Washington Square Park in Manhattan, among other landmark structures. While the restored building has since been reincarnated as one of the leading wedding and event spaces in the tri-state area, it still maintains the feeling of its 19th century grandeur, making it a distinct and picturesque setting for special days of all kinds.
Our impeccable, white-glove service begins the moment you arrive. Crystal Plaza hosts only one event at a time, ensuring that our dedicated team focuses singularly on you and your every need. From the elegant Grand Ballroom boasting numerous chandeliers (how the Crystal Plaza name came to be) to the lush gardens that change beautifully with the seasons, there are myriad backdrops to complement your wedding, social affair or corporate event.
Your event is more than just a moment in time for us—we aim to leave a lasting impression that’s filled with joy and satisfaction.

My wife & I hosted our wedding at Crystal Plaza and we could not have dreamed of a better venue for our wedding! The Venue itself is absolutely stunning from the bride/groom suites, the grand ballroom, the atrium, living room and even the bathrooms are award winning!
We were even more blown away by the customer service at the venue! Our point of contact, Max, was so generous and made sure we had everything we could ask for in our dream wedding scenario. Max & Ryan were easy to work with in planning the food and schedule for the wedding day. The amount of food that comes in the package is unbelievable, and it's all delicious! Your guests will be talking about the food alone for years to come.
We can't say enough good things about our Maitre'd Mikhail and our attendants Nina, Lisa, and G who were incredibly friendly, always nearby and willing to provide us with anything we needed while keeping everything on schedule!
Crystal Plaza has perfected the art of hosting a wedding ceremony/reception. The beauty, the customer service, and the quantity & quality of food will give you and your guests the best wedding experience possible!

It’s hard to properly put into words our gratitude towards the Crystal Plaza team. From the moment we toured the venue up until the big day this past weekend, everything was just so professional and easy. During the planning process, the Crystal Plaza team helped guide and create the exact vision we were looking for. On our wedding day, we were blown away by the impeccable service and warmth we felt from your entire team from the moment we arrived to the moment we left! The attention to detail shown by each and every staff member truly made an impact on the entire wedding day and we can’t say enough about how incredible they were. You all made our wedding day so beyond special for us and truly unforgettable! All of our friends and family were blown away by how incredible the food was and how beautiful the venue looked, but especially by the service and hospitality throughout the night!
Where you choose to celebrate the biggest moment of your life is one of the most important decisions you can make and Crystal Plaza exceeded all of our expectations. We are so grateful and appreciative of everything you’ve all done for us. There is no place like the Crystal Plaza!!

Crystal Plaza is THE place if you want a wedding full of great food, great people, and great vibes. We truly cannot say enough nice things about Max, the Janoff family, and the whole staff at CP. From start to finish, from the very first tour to leaving at the end of our wedding... Max was beyond helpful, honest, and supportive. We felt so confident in him and his staff from the get-go, and they made the wedding process and planning so easy and effortless.
Crystal Plaza is known for their food, and wow did they exceed expectations. Usually couples don't get to eat at their weddings, but we sure did! The food, cocktail hour + dinner + dessert, was top-notch. Our guests are raving about it still! Some saying it was just the best FOOD they've ever had, not even just being at a wedding.
Crystal Plaza is a well-run machine. Every staff member is attentive, but not in your way, kind, but not too nice where it felt fake, and they seem like they truly enjoy working together and for each other. Every single attendant, bartender, waiter/waitress, and staff member, were beyond incredible. We did a t-shirt toss during our introductions, and a few glasses of water got hit and knocked over on a few guests. The way the staff RAN over to these guests to help them dry off was so comforting.
Finally, the venue itself is STUNNING. The upgrades to the ballroom, the bridal suite (penthouse) and groom suite (the vault) were perfect locations to get ready and enjoy our family and friends before the wedding. Not to mention, the atrium for the ceremony is what sold us on the venue.
Overall, we HIGHLY recommend Crystal Plaza for a wedding or celebratory event. The food, atmosphere, and staff, are above and beyond, and will leave your guests raving for weeks and months to come! Thank you, Crystal Plaza!

We had the most incredible experience at Crystal Plaza for our wedding! From start to finish, the entire team went above and beyond to make our day unforgettable. The venue itself is stunning, with elegant architecture and beautifully manicured grounds that created the perfect setting.
But what truly stood out—and what all our guests are still talking about—was the food. Crystal Plaza is known for their exceptional cuisine, and they did not disappoint! Every dish was exquisite, from cocktail to the ceremony. The quality, presentation, and flavors were all outstanding, making the dining experience one of the highlights of our celebration.
The staff was attentive, professional, and genuinely caring. They took care of every detail flawlessly, allowing us to enjoy every moment of our big day. If you’re looking for a venue that offers not only beauty and top-tier service but also unforgettable food, Crystal Plaza is the place to be.
We couldn’t be happier and highly recommend them to any couple looking for the perfect wedding venue!

I can’t even begin to describe how amazing my experience at The Crystal Plaza was. From start to finish, they were accommodating, communicative and warm. Everyone is so professional and the venue is beautiful. I couldn’t have done it either without Arielle, my day of attendant!

After touring multiple venues, we knew from the moment we stepped foot in the Crystal Plaza that this venue was the one. Everything from booking our wedding date, discussing the details and executing our vision was perfection. We had great communication with Iris, Talmia and the rest of our planning team and had a few meetings in person or over the phone to discuss the fine details. They made sure to incorporate components of each of our cultural backgrounds and really took into consideration our interests when it came to enhancement options we could choose from.
The day of the wedding went seamlessly. The Penthouse is a gorgeous and spacious bridal suite with hair and makeup stations. The Vault is an extremely cool area for the guys to hang out with a pool table, cigar humidor and golf simulator. The Crystal Plaza team made sure that our wedding party and family were well taken care of while getting ready at the venue. We each had a bridal/groom attendant the whole day which really took the stress off of our wedding party so they could really enjoy the day with us.
We had our ceremony in the Atrium and it was absolutely stunning. The food at cocktail hour and dinner was amazing. They had really creative displays of the food stations and passed bites at cocktail hour that our guests really enjoyed. The drinks were delicious; I am still dreaming of their "Wedding Wake Up" espresso martini. The service throughout the night was exceptional. The team was so attentive to all of our guests.
I would recommend this stunning venue to any future couple without hesitation. We wish we could relive our wedding day. It was truly a dream come true and everything we wanted in our special day.

we had our wedding at the Crystal Plaza on July 14, 2024 and it was one of the best nights of our lives! From day, one meeting max at the crystal Plaza to Wedding day service was exceptional! We came to this venue because we were looking for a place that did kosher catering and had some background in Russian style foods and let me just say they completely blew us away! The staff was great the entire night and everything ran smoothly. Special shout out to my bridal attendant who fixed my dress when someone completely ripped every single bustle out of my dress!! I highly recommend the crystal plaza and we cannot wait to hopefully come back for another party in the future!

Crystal Plaza is the perfect wedding venue. There are multiple indoor and outdoor settings for every part of your ceremony and reception and each is unbelievably beautiful. The areas where the bride and groom get ready are beyond your expectations. The food is DELICIOUS and creative. RUN to this incredible venue!! And ask for Max Janoff, who will make your process seamless.

We had our wedding here on 4/6/24 and could not be happier with our experience. Guests are still talking about the food and how great the wedding was! Iris was a pleasure to work with and helped us plan from day one in August 2023 to our April wedding 8 months later. She answered every email and phone call with patience and helped until the very end plan the wedding of my dreams. I was in the bridal suite with my bridemaids starting at 8:30am and Ariel and Chloe were the best attendants. They assisted and helped me and my party with whatever needed. Chloe was fantastic getting me in and out of the vehicle to the church and helped with anything I could possibly need until the end of the night. Mikheal was the lead Maitre D and him and his team were absolutely wonderful, and constantly refilling drinks for me and even my parents! Crystal goes above and beyond to make your day special and unforgettable. Other reason why I chose this venue is they only do one wedding at a time and you have the option to use their amazing bridal suite space and the vault. Great for pictures, room to get ready- and plenty of hang out space. If you’re on the fence- Book here! You will not regret it. PS- Get the Traveling Treats if you want your guests to talk about your wedding months later!! 😊

We celebrated our special day at Crystal Plaza on April 13th 2024 and it was truly an amazing experience from start to finish. Since our first meeting with Hunter 11 months ago to the end of our wedding night, everything was prepared and executed at the highest level. The attention to detail, impeccable organization, and genuine care shown by the entire team made our wedding day everything we hoped for and more. They helped curate the day exactly how we envisioned.
With a guest list of 300, finding the perfect venue can be a challenge, but Crystal Plaza effortlessly accommodated our needs. Their space was just right for our party size, and they were incredibly flexible and accommodating throughout the planning process.
Mikheil, our maitre d', was fantastic. He ensured that everything ran smoothly on the day and kept in touch in the lead-up to the wedding, putting our minds at ease. Our bridal attendants were also wonderful, always on hand to help and make sure we had everything we needed.
The food was outstanding. Our guests couldn't get enough of it and we're still receiving compliments about the entire night. Overall, we couldn't have asked for a better experience. Crystal Plaza and their staff truly went above and beyond to make our wedding day unforgettable.

We had an amazing wedding at the Crystal Plaza! They did absolutely everything to make sure the day went smoothly. They were professional, organized, and very accommodating to every request. We had the ceremony set up outside, and when it started to rain they quickly started to set up inside. Then when the rain passed, they reset up everything outside! The venue was beautiful, the gardens were lovely, and the rooms to get ready in very pretty and spacious. All of the attendants were very friendly and helpful, constantly checking in with us to make sure we were all set. Special shout out the Mikheil for coordinating everything!

We had our wedding reception at Crystal Plaza on March 15, 2024 and I don't even know where to begin! I'll start by saying because of Crystal Plaza, we had the best day of our lives. When touring venues all I kept saying in my head was that I wanted something fresh and different. From the moment I walked in the door, I could sense that about Crystal Plaza. The venue holds onto the classic elegance you look for in a wedding, but with everything they have to offer, it puts a modern and fresh twist on classic beauty. Max took time to go through all aspects of our day at Crystal Plaza and was polite and accommodating since day 1. They were responsive and helpful through all of the wedding planning and when the day came we felt like royalty. The bridal and groom suites are out of this world and the bridal attendants are extraordinary. They even asked if I was too hot or cold and adjusted the temperature all day for me! They brought me a smoothie made there by request because I was having a hard time eating with all the excitement! I could go on and on. The cocktail hour is like nothing I have ever seen before and the food for dinner is actually delicious whereas at many weddings that is not the case. Every guest has been raving about the food, the service, and the seamless nature of our day. The best decision we made was booking Crystal Plaza for our wedding!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about our winter wedding at Crystal Plaza and the incredible team of warm and dedicated staff. While wedding planning can certainly bring on the stress, our wedding planning process with Max and his team was not only enjoyable, but FUN! His professional expertise, honesty, and attention to detail was invaluable and beyond appreciated.
This is not your average wedding culinary experience. It's obvious Crystal Plaza cares deeply about cuisine and we were blown away by every bite and sip. Our guests have not stopped raving about the culinary experience and the unique presentations of food and drink.
The Penthouse and Vault (where the bride/groom/bridal party/groomsmen get ready) is out of this world. There is no other venue with this level of accommodation for both the bride and groom. It was so much fun treating the bridal party to a morning of pampering and having the groomsmen be just as excited about getting ready in the morning was incredible. They won't stop talking about the golf simulator and cigar lounge.
I cannot recommend Crystal Plaza enough. 5 STARS ALL AROUND!

WHERE TO BEGIN!! It is hard to put in to words how incredible the experience of getting married at the Crystal Plaza is. We had the pleasure of working with Ryan Howell for our wedding, and it was PERFECTION.
From the first time I walked in to the venue, to the very last song at the After Party, Ryan made us and our entire family feel at home and left NO detail untouched. We felt like royalty the entire planning process, Ryan and his team guided us a long the way, always checking in through the year+ of planning, providing guidance and recommendations.
Leading up to the wedding, Ryan and the Crystal Plaza were extremely organized, responsive, and so beyond instrumental in making our vision come to life.
And now to the actual wedding day, all we can say is WOW. Every single minute, my husband and I were taken care of. Ryan and the team went above and beyond to make sure the entire day flowed seamlessly. Big shout out to ALL the bridal and groom attendants- they even brought us COLD towels on the dance floor to cool us down! The getting ready suites are BEYOND spacious and the perfect place to get ready, to the staff providing us blankets and hot water in between pictures when it was chilly out, to the absolute INCREDIBLE food- I could go on and on about how amazing this venue is.
Our guests cannot stop raving about the food, flow, seamlessness, and service at the wedding! Throughout the entire wedding process, Ryan and the Crystal Plaza alleviated the common wedding stressors because they really are experts. The Crystal Plaza KNOWS what they are doing and we could not recommend it enough!

We had the most amazing experience planning our wedding at Crystal Plaza! Every member of the staff was incredible to work with - from the early planning stages to the day of details. The venue itself is also beautiful, and the food was truly amazing! Not only was cocktail hour incredible, but also was the main course and the desserts. We received so many comments after our wedding about how gorgeous the venue was (including both bridal and groom suites) and about how delicious the food was! We really had the best time and wish we could do it all over again!!

If you want to get married in the Tri-state area, there is absolutely no competition for The Crystal Plaza in Livingston, NJ. Every indoor and outdoor space of the venue (including the new bridal AND groom suites) is beyond stunning even before you add your own touches, the staff is completely unmatched (before, during and after your wedding), and the food is to die for from start to finish.
As someone who grew up locally, The Crystal Plaza is a venue I frequented as a kid for Bar and Bat Mitzvahs and then again as an adult for weddings and corporate events. Even as a teenager—long before the recent renovations that now include some of my favorite spaces—I knew that The Crystal Plaza was my dream future wedding venue. I got married this past New Year's Eve, and as expected, The Crystal Plaza did not disappoint.
The Janoff family—longtime owners of this impeccable NJ staple—could not have been more accommodating. Max Janoff was there for me every step of the way, from helping me pick my date, to reminding me when it was time to make my seating chart, to smiling along with me on the Big Day despite the holiday.
I also cannot say enough about my bridal attendant, Chloe, who became my constant companion from the minute I stepped through the door bright and early with my bridal party. Moments that could have otherwise been stressful became a breeze thanks to Chloe. She even thought about day-of preparations that I may not have otherwise—such as taste-testing my somewhat complicated signature drink and taking notes back to the bartenders before my guests arrived.
The Crystal Plaza is one of those venues where even if everything imaginable goes wrong, the team not only has a solution, but makes sure you have the best possible day no matter what.
Beyond that, I would have gotten married at The Crystal Plaza for the signature lamb chops alone.
Luckily for me, my now-husband agreed that my dream wedding venue was his dream venue as well. Neither of us needed to look any further than The Crystal Plaza, and a few months later, we wouldn't change a thing.

Crystal Plaza came highly recommended to us by several respected vendors within the South Asian wedding industry as having a newly renovated space and spectacular service. We planned our wedding in less than six months. CP had one date available which we quickly snagged, and I can honestly say having our wedding at CP was the best decision we made for our wedding.
We worked with Ryan Howell primarily to plan our event - he was professional, responsive, and kind. When my parents met Ryan for the first time at our final walkthrough, they were blown away by his pleasant demeanor and charming nature because he has a natural way of putting you at ease and making things happen for you in a timely and professional manner. He worked with us in this manner from beginning to end. While most venues find gentle ways to tell a couple “no,” Crystal Plaza found every way to tell you “yes” for all of your ideas and thoughts. They were truly wishmakers willing to do anything and everything to make your experience a pleasant one, and we appreciated that they never lost patience even when last minute things arose close in time to the event as they often do with weddings.
This experience was not only specific to Ryan but the entire CP staff - Office Manager Talmia who was equally professional and responsive at all times leading up to the wedding, Isaac who was friendly to greet us every time we walked through the doors (even at 4 am when we started hair & makeup the day of), as well as the Maitre D team, bartenders, attendants, and servers who worked hard for our full-day event from 9 am to past midnight for 300+ guests.
Our guests have not stopped raving about their experience at our wedding and in particular, the impeccable service. We are so thankful to CP for hosting the most memorable affair for us and being the most lovely people to work with during a stressful time. They are a family business and treat you like family.

My husband Peter and I got married at the Crystal Plaza on Friday September 22, 2023. It was truly magical and better than we ever could have imagined. The place looked beautiful and the food was absolutely delicious. We received compliment after compliment about how the food and venue was one of the top our guests have ever experienced. Of course all of these things played an important part in making our day so amazing, but what really left an impression on Peter, our families, and myself was the staff.
From the beginning, every email and phone call encounter I had with the receptionist she was pleasant and helpful. Everytime I came to the venue I was greeted by the smiling face of the man sitting at the front desk. When I arrived at the venue on Thursday to drop off items Marianne helped sort through everything and took detailed notes to make sure each item was in its correct place on Friday and nothing was left out.
When we arrived at the venue we were given a cheerful welcome. Both my AM/PM bridal attendants were always at my side, making sure I ate and had a drink in my hand. Any spill on my slip or gown was quickly washed away and they flooded me with compliments helping me feel my best all day long.
In the groom suite my husband had one guy with him all day. Yesterday my husband and I found out that when my husband dad went to get dressed his white tuxedo shirt was sent in the wrong size and did not button. In a panic he went to the groom attendant for help and within minutes he came back with a white tuxedo shirt that fit my father-in-law... I mean that alone speaks volumes to how prepared the Crystal Plaza and all of the staff is. It was taken care of so quickly that the bride and groom never even knew about it.
The Maitre d were absolutely amazing, they made sure our first look went off without a hitch, they quickly moved the family and bridal party from the balcony to the ballroom so everyone could get a perfect view of the first look. Even as the reception was happening everyone kept coming up to us to make sure we didn't need anything, to run to the suites to grab an item for us. An unknown dietary restriction from a guest came up and the chef quickly and happily made him a chicken cutlet- the guest was floored and so impressed the venue did this.
And Max, you are one of the main things that sold us on the Crystal Plaza, so welcoming, funny, and genuine. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you so so much for giving us the wedding of a lifetime.

My husband and I had our Indian wedding ceremony at Crystal Plaza a few weeks ago and it was the absolute best experience. Since we booked them last year, Ryan (the venue coordinator) and the crew have been so easy to contact and were so flexible about our needs. The day of the ceremony, my husband and I each had our own attendants who made sure we had everything we needed from water and snacks to running communication between people when needed. Ryan personally came to the bridal suite to see me before the ceremony and ran through my schedule with me and kept everything on track for the whole ceremony. At the end of the night, the crew helped us pack up everything from the ceremony and the suites and load our belongings into the car as well.
Aside from the best service I've ever seen, the venue itself is absolutely gorgeous. The outdoor spaces were a hit for guests taking photos and the ballroom was everything we'd hoped for in terms of a gorgeous and luxe looking ceremony. The bridal suite was so spacious and convenient for getting ready too, something that cannot be overlooked when decided on a venue. All in all, we could not recommend this place more highly - the whole night felt like a dream and we felt so well taken care of. Thank you so much to everyone who made our special day possible!

My husband and I got married at Crystal Plaza last weekend and we were absolutely blown away. We admittedly had high expectations going in because of its stellar reputation, but they were exceeded with flying colors.
The staff there is top-notch, and bent over backwards to ensure everything was perfect. All throughout the process, our coordinator, Iris, went above and beyond to work with our planner and other vendors to ensure everything was executed flawlessly. My bridal attendants, Lisa and Alejandra, and my husband's attendant, G, were truly exceptional — I'm rarely at a loss for words but they were really that good. They made us feel like royalty the entire day, and knew what we needed before we even asked for it. They help with these small details that you don't even realize are so important day-of, and trust me when I say, they are reason enough to book your wedding at Crystal Plaza. The maitre D, Mikhail, was also exceptional at making bowties for my husband and his groomsmen. Of course, it doesn't hurt that the venue itself is absolutely stunning, chic, elegant, and classy. The bridal suite blew my friends away, and we had the best morning getting ready before the rest of the day began. The food there is the best of the best, and if you know, you know: the cocktail hour at Crystal Plaza is legendary. Our guests are still raving about the food a week later.
If you can have your wedding at Crystal Plaza, DO IT. It lives up to the hype and then some. If we could do it all again, we'd pick Crystal Plaza every single time. Thank you to Iris, Alejandra, Lisa, G, Mikhail, Max, and the rest of the CP team — truly the best in the business.

It’s hard to put into words how happy we were with Crystal Plaza as our wedding venue. The modern, elegant feel of the venue had us hooked as soon as we toured it. Ronni specifically was a huge factor as to why we felt our venue choice was the right one; it’s not just about the venue but the people involved. Ronni led the entire process from day one. She was so accommodating and made sure anything we needed was taken care of with no concern. We can’t thank her enough for all the work she put into making our perfect day. Every room, from the cocktail room to the ballroom to the bridesmaids suite to the vault (groomsmen suite) is sleek, classy and elegant. The look and feel of the venue speaks for itself, but Ronni and her team really went above and beyond to make our wedding special. The staff and Matre De were extremely attentive and our day flowed effortlessly. As far as the wedding itself, we’re still getting comments from our friends and family on how delicious (and plentiful) the cocktail hour was, and got so many compliments on our add-ons like the Champagne Hand Wall and the sushi, as well as how accommodating the service was. Initially we had 2 bars for the guests, but being our guests were very excited to party, Ronni and her team opened up a third bar for us. This definitely left us and our guests happy as we had guests on the dance floor all night, rather than waiting on the bar lines. We would recommend Crystal Plaza a hundred times over! Your wedding day will most definitely be the day of your dreams!

My hubby and I just got married at Crystal Plaza, trust me when I say that they go above+ beyond any expectations that you can have for your wedding. At the initial appt to walk through the venue, we booked our wedding right there on the spot. Big shout out to Ryan-our point person from the 1st phone call, the 1st walk through, throughout the wedding planning, and there for the execution the day of. Its so reassuring to have continuity of care throughout the stressful time of planning a wedding.
The moment we walked in, the place just got better and better. The bridal suite is to die for, and by far this place has the best grooms suite i've ever seen. Yess Kings you can have your own man cave of your dreams and not a shady small closet to get ready in! LOL
The service though, you walk in and you are catered on from the beginning until the end. First, the Bridal Attendant of my dreams, Marianne. She worked our wedding as a Bridal attendant, but she was so much more. She could have and should have been our month/day of wedding planner. She was present when we dropped off all of our decor and she gathered info of how we wanted things to be set up in case there was a problem with the wedding planner. Day of the wedding, she comes walking in with a Ube cold brew and a ube cream puff (she knew that I - a fellow Filipina loves all things ube.) She was there with her survival kit giving my bridesmaids anything they asked for from bandaids, to tequila shots, to taking our fire bridal gang pics, to even going down to help organize all the favors in the ballroom correctly when my wedding planner was no where to be seen. During the first look, it was hott and humid, Mari had a personal electric fan, was fanning me off and dabbing me with a cold towel. She carried my long train around so it wouldnt get dirty before the ceremony. It started to rain during our private vow reading and we looked to the side and Mari was already walking up to us with another attendant with clear umbrellas, like how cute and prepared is that!?
She single handedly bustled my massive train gown (she took a class for it and girl it shows!) She took out the makeup stain I didn't even know was there and the mud on the dress right before I walked down the aisle. My bridesmaids told me after the wedding that whenever they needed something and was about to look for someone to ask, Mari was already there able to help them. Mari was everywhere. She took pics of us whenever we wanted and even had my Polaroid camera ready for the cute intimate cocktail hour pics. Even right to the end of the night, Mari was ready with our decor and signs, and even helped my husband pack the cars. Start to finish service like that is unmatched. Everyone - bridesmaids, family members, vendors - were all impressed with my "wedding planner" Mari. Thank goodness she was there to pick up the slack of my lack there of Wedding planner. I had the best bridal experience there because of Marianne!
Also big shout out to Mikheil and Robin! They were key in running the rehearsal prior to the ceremony, and making sure the event went smoothly and on time, as well as being there for the groom and the grooms men. Our guests cannot stop raving about our wedding. They kept saying that was the best wedding they had ever attended. They were shocked to find out that the cocktail hour food kept being replenished, as well as being asked if they wanted more of the main course. What other venue does that? CP is the best!

My husband and I cannot give enough stars for Crystal Plaza! Beyond being such a stunningly beautiful venue, with THE BEST food--in-house Kosher catering!--that our friends and family cannot stop raving about, they are a dream come true when it comes to wedding planning. We felt like we had hired a wedding planner for the amount of work and organization that they did for us, but that's just their professionalism and what they do to ensure that each wedding goes perfectly. Max and Talmia guided us through the entire process, from hiring the earliest vendors to making last minute adjustments the weekend before the wedding. Then the day of the wedding, Mikheil guided us all, from where to step when, getting help for last minute requests, and making sure we were all comfortable, stress free, and having the best time. Ethan, Nina, and Julie were incredible attendants as well, ever-so-sweet and helpful. Thank you all for the best wedding ever! We're hoping all our friends get married here as well so we can keep coming back.

Max. We want to thank you and your family and your staff at Crystal Plaza for an amazing Wedding event. The venue was spectacular. You told us you were going to go "all out" for us and now i know what "all out" means. The food was flat out amazing as was the service considering we were almost 300. The DJ, Larry Gold was as advertised. Special thanks to Chloe and the attendants who made life so easy for us. Being father of the bride at that affair felt like being king for a day. The kids wanted to dance their asses off and they certainly got their wish. The afterparty looked like a rave. Epic and Awesome.

I am still in shock at how perfect Crystal Plaza was for our wedding. They guided us every step of the way, and have thought of everything. They always responded quickly in the planning stages. We always felt taken care of. Such a well oiled machine.
The day of planner was AMAZING. Literally every single detail was scheduled, planned, and executed to perfection.
Bridal attendant was there to hold my dress anytime I took a step during family pictures - I barely noticed her but she was perfect.
They work with their preferred vendors seamlessly, my parents and I were able to enjoy the entire day without any stress. Even after the wedding, they followed up with us to make sure we had all leftover food, centerpieces, etc.
I highly recommend this venue to anyone and everyone!!

my wife and I recently held our wedding at The Crystal Plaza and it was beyond everything we had ever dreamed of. We had extremely high expectations coming in given the extraordinary reputation the Crystal has, but we were blown away so far above and beyond our most lofty expectations. The venue, staff, food, vendors, and workflow are second to none. There is not a detail that isn’t considered and the day-of staff makes sure you and your entire wedding party are attended to every minute of the day. We heard from dozens of guests that the food was the best they’ve ever had at a wedding. And the venue is absolutely stunning, recently renovated, and designed in a way that makes for an unforgettable night. I would recommend any and everyone who has the opportunity to partner with The Crystal Plaza to do so!!!

If I could give this venue 100 stars, I would. I don't even know where to begin other than... PERFECTION. Pure perfection. From the moment I got to the crystal plaza the morning of the wedding, I felt ease. Everything was taken care of and I have never seen a machine run smoother in my life. They have an answer for EVERYTHING. I at one point looked at my brides attendant and needed a tooth brush, 2 minutes later I had one. Chloe was my hero all night.
This is just one example of the level of service... Another example is Ryan, the Maitre D. Ryan is the wedding coordinator VIP. He made our entire day/night flow with NO HICCUPS- ZERO. Who else can confidently say nothing went wrong at their wedding?! At one point in the reception someone noticed my earring was missing, and sure enough Ryan found it in .2 seconds. This is just what the staff at crystal plaza does, they do it all!!!!
Max Janoff was our planner- he truly outdid himself. We told him our vision, and from there he took care of the rest. His recommended vendors were absolutely in sync with everything we had hoped for in our day and more. Everything over exceeded our expectations, from the lighting, to the cocktail hour, to the band, the florals, the table set up... you name it he made sure it flowed. He knew what details were needed and where and left no stone un-turned.
Leaving crystal plaza the night of my wedding was heartbreaking and I will forever be grateful to them for giving me and my husband the best night of our lives.
For you upcoming brides... there is no other place.
If you are looking for the best wedding venue around with unmatched staff, then book at crystal plaza.

My (now) husband and I just had our wedding at the Crystal Plaza in April 2023 and WOW WOW WOW, how happy I am that we chose their location.
From the moment we came to the venue we knew it was the place we wanted to celebrate. They treat you as a part of their family. Max and his team supported us with every question and need throughout the entire planning process and connected us with the highest quality vendors. They also help you to make decisions that are the best for YOU and don’t push you in any way shape or form. They want you to create your dream day and are there to make it happen.
Then on the actual day of our event I felt like a true queen for the day. The bridal attendants and maitre d waited on us hand and foot and were so kind and personable. When the guests were finished with their drinks, a staff member was there in a moment’s notice to take their glass and ask them if they wanted another. The team is impeccable and the food is NEXT LEVEL. My grandfather is an Italian man who is very particular about his food and his parties and he was floored by the quality of everything!
You can even do your bouquet toss from the balcony and that was so much fun. The bridal attendant came upstairs with me and we were both so excited together, it was adorable!
They round out the night with traveling treats that are passed out on the dance floor to keep everyone dancing until the final moments of the party and everyone was in love. I’ve never seen so many people on the dance floor at a wedding. There was so much love in the air.
JUST DO IT!! The Crystal Plaza is perfect and I keep saying I wouldn’t even go back and do it again because I’m so happy with our day that we couldn’t do it better!

Crystal Plaza was my top choice for my wedding venue based on the pictures alone but meeting Max and the rest of the staff there on my tour made the choice even more obvious. The venue itself is absolutely gorgeous - the indoor ceremony space is one of my favorite rooms. With just a 6 month engagement, I was a bit nervous about securing vendors but with Max's help I booked my vendors in record time. Max and his staff helped make the planning process and lead up to the wedding easy.
My wedding at Crystal Plaza was unbelievable in every way from start to finish. From getting ready in the beautiful suites, to the delicious food and drinks, to the impeccable service - everything was truly top notch. We were told countless times by our guests that the venue was beautiful, the staff were true professionals and the food was out of this world (our guests loved our cocktail pairings with the cocktail hour stations and the traveling treats format of dessert). Weeks later we are still getting calls about it being the most amazing wedding someone has been to.
The staff at Crystal Plaza are all fantastic - the attendants were extremely attentive (shout out to Chloe for the emergency bustle pinning when mine broke!), Ryan, our matri d' kept everyone on track all night. We knew we were in good hands from the start after meeting Max and his guidance is what helped create an unforgettable evening for us and our guests. The team really brought our vision to life and our wedding was a dream come true.

Crystal Plaza…wow! Iris and the entire Crystal Plaza team was phenomenal. We scheduled our wedding about 7-8 weeks out after a debacle at another venue and it was nothing short of amazing. We recommend Crystal Plaza 10 out of 10 times. The care the team provided us was phenomenal and personalized. Food was amazing and we were able to try everything prior to making our selections. I can’t say it enough how much they care about the bridal party and the guests. We had a private happy hour before the guests arrived to make sure we ate and were taken care of. We had personal attendants that made sure we were good to go all night. Everything was amazing.

The Crystal Plaza will feel like a second home forevermore. From the chandeliers to the extraordinary bridal and groom suites. From the stunning cocktail hour to the unparalleled ballroom. Allan and his team were so helpful, fun and kind throughout the entire planning process. We loved that the Crystal Plaza has been family run for generations and the passion they put into every inch of the mansion is so apparent. Everything is kept pristine - they have thought of everything! They truly brought our dream wedding to life. Everything looked spectacular! The food was fantastic and the light at our ceremony was beyond heavenly, like something out of a dream. We can't thank the Crystal Plaza enough. Our day truly sparkled. - @katrinaeugenia

I just had my wedding at Crustal Plaza last night, 1/20/23. It was an overall dream venue, from the staff, to the food, to the venue itself, truly amazing! Everything was executed perfectly. I couldn’t have pictured a more perfect day. A special thank you to Hunter for making this all happen for us and Mickell for making sure everything ran smoothly the day of! Wish I could relive it again and it hasn’t even been 24 hours.

Oh, what a night it was! Now that the dust has settled, I can wrap my head around the incredible memories! Allan Janoff, Crystal Plaza, what can I say? You helped us make our daughter’s wedding the wedding of her dreams! Without your guidance, outstanding food, magnificent venue, and incredible staff we would never have been able to make it the most special and perfect evening it was. You reacted to every question, small or large as if it was the most important question of the day. You responded to every email, phone call, and request with the same sense of urgency that we felt, even though they weren’t really urgent…you respected us from the moment we walked into your office and went out of your way to accommodate every line item we had. Thank you for that.
Your staff, what can I say? They are kind, polite, professional, and they treated us like royalty. The day was just perfect, from the moment we arrived. The bridal party in the Penthouse, and the groom and his groomsmen in the Vault, surely an experience they will never forget. The ballroom was magnificent, the service was impeccable, and the food was delicious! Our friends and family are still raving about how incredible everything was. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for the memories that will last a lifetime!

The best of the best! We had our daughter's wedding here on October 22, 2022. Every aspect - the delicious and abundant food, the elegant and stunning atmosphere, the impeccable service - was perfect from start to finish. This venue is in a class by itself. The one-of-a kind bridal penthouse salon and suite and the bridegroom's vault are not just beautiful spaces - they are experiences. We spent the entire day "partying before the party" in these fabulous facilities. The Janoff family has run this business for generations, they are true professionals, and they aim to please. Thank you so much to Max, Mikhael, the maitre d' team, the bartenders, and the wait staff. Thank you to Chloe in the bridal suite, to the men's vault attendant, to Talmia in the office, and to the nice gentleman who answers the phone. Thank you all for a flawless experience.

There are truly not enough words to express how amazing this venue is. My husband and I got married there 15Oct2022 and we are still just in absolute awe of how incredible the day was. The moment we first met with Max we immediately felt like we were part of the family. Max made the whole wedding planning process incredibly seamless; despite all of our MANY requests, him and his team did not hesitate to meet our demands and answer any of our questions. Our wedding day was hands down the best day of my life and I truly believe it had everything to do with having it at Crystal Plaza. Every single person we interacted with from the staff on our wedding day was more than accommodating, and I will never be able to thank Max and his team enough. If you are considering Crystal Plaza for your venue, there is no need to look any further. They are hands down the best in the business.

Booking our wedding at the Crystal Plaza was the best decision we ever made! From the moment we first walked in the door, we were greeted by Max Janoff like we were family - we immediately felt right at home and knew that we had just found our dream venue. By the time we first toured Crystal Plaza, we had already toured quite a few venues (8+) but Crystal Plaza was unlike anything we had seen at the other venues in North Jersey.
The venue itself is absolutely stunning. From the chandeliers, to the cocktail hour space, to the ballroom, to the gardens, to the atrium, to the penthouse bridal suite, to the groomsmen’s vault - every space is beyond gorgeous and distinctly unique. However, what stood out even more to me was the incredible service and staff.
Truthfully, the decision was easy (as it should be)!
Leading up to the big day, Max and his team were very responsive via email (which was so important to us). Their answers to our questions were always helpful and honest. We were so confident that Max and his team would perfectly execute our dream day because they were so detail-oriented and provided us with great feedback based on their personal experiences.
After the wedding, we asked many of our guests - what are the top things that stood out? The answers were pretty consistent - the service, the food, and Max. These are the best answers that we could hope for. We have had MULTIPLE guests tell us this was one of the best weddings they’ve ever attended.
Our wedding day at the Crystal Plaza was one of the best days of our lives, and it’s all thanks to Max and his team. Do yourself a favor and book asap!!

My wife and I could not be more pleased with our wedding at Crystal Plaza! We had a wedding with 200 guests and wanted a venue with a nice outdoor garden area for the ceremony and a classy interior for the reception, and this place fit perfectly. In our first meeting with Max, he made it clear that he'd be very responsive and easy to work with. A lot of our vendors were familiar with the venue and we had no problems at all. The bridal attendant for my wife and everyone else that helped support us on our wedding day were very attentive and fast with any request we had. We are very happy with the venue and with the services provided and highly recommend Crystal Plaza.

My wedding day was perfect and I wish I could relive it 100 more times. No one will beat the Crystal Plaza. Staff is great but specifically RYAN who went above and beyond for us AND our guests. Thank you for making our wedding day magical and memorable for everyone !!

My fiance and I were scheduled to have our wedding september 2022 at crystal plaza, We had Iris coordinating our event. Due to unforeseen circumstances, we couldn't hold our wedding on the date we hoped for. We reached out to the venue explained the situation. Max Jannof and Iris reached out to us, they told us to pay 28k on top of 10k we had paid to hold the date, so they can release the date(per contract). If somebody books the date, we get our 28k but the 10k is final. Its sounded legit, business is business, we sent a paycheck $28k. Date was not released, and we did not hear from them. Had 2 of my friends reach out to the venues, inquire what days they had left for 2022, all the dates were offered except our date that was to be released. I reached out to both Max and Iris and these were Max Exact words "WE HAVE OTHER IMPORTANT DATES WE HAVE TO HAVE BOOKED, YOU SHOULD HAVE THEM REACH OUT TO ME DIRECTLY". Clearly they had pocketed 38k out of us, without doing any services to us, why should they bother releasing the date. I was so frustrated and I really yelled because we are a young couple who saved up to afford the wedding we wanted. We tried to have Max postpone our wedding for us, initially he offered us a monday , september 22 and told us to add 20% of the total cost(57) which technically will bring us close to 70k for a monday wedding. Did not make sense to us since we had paid for a weekend, requested a sunday. Max offered us two dates in February, one date in December and the beginning of march. Still with a fee of 20% additional to the total cost. For a winter wedding. He told us, it's the demand. Gave us 3 days to make the decision, or he will cancel the wedding. Honestly we couldn't make the decision, it's not what we wanted, we cant settle to pay 70k for a wedding in the snow storm. Our 38k was scammed away from us, our wedding dream was taken away from us, I lost so much respect for this venue. For a venue we told more than 8 month in advance that we will need to move the date and also agreed to even pay 20% of the fee not to work with us and tell us that we are

RUN don’t walk to book your wedding at the CP!!! I got married at the Crystal Plaza a little over a week ago and it was truly magical!! Everything was absolutely perfect and better than I could have ever envisioned. As the bride and groom, we truly felt like a king and queen – they took care of our every need and made it so that our wedding was truly flawless. I received texts/calls from the majority of my guests saying how incredible the wedding was and that it was the best one they have ever been to by far.
The Staff: Everyone we interacted with at the CP from our very first meeting to coming back the next day to pick things up was INCREDIBLE. They were attentive, kind, made us feel like the only bride and groom they were working with, and just made us feel so comfortable. We booked our wedding with Max, who always responded to emails during our planning process and was available to us. Ryan was our Maitre D and we just loved him!!! He made the day run so smoothly, thought of everything and was so calm. He made sure everyone was where they needed to be when they needed to be. Special shout out to Chloe and Isaac, our attendants, who literally helped my husband get a stain out of his shirt minutes before our entry into the reception. They were amazing.
The Food: We booked a kosher wedding and didn’t have high expectations for the food. But we were so wrong!!! The food from cocktail hour, to dinner, desserts and after party were all fantastic. And the presentation was remarkable! Everyone loved the food!!
The Ceremony: Their new indoor ceremony room is stunning, modern and bright. We didn’t have as many flowers as some people do there but you really don’t need much because the room by itself is stunning! Again the staff thought of everything and provided all the ceremony items we needed – wine, glass to break, easel, table, etc.
The Reception: The grand ballroom is remarkable – they recently redid the carpet and the dance floor. The round dance floor is AMAZING and part of the reason we booked. Ryan helped us with figuring out the best way to set up the reception and provided his thoughts on the best timeline for the night.
Bridal Suites: These rooms are bigger than our apartments and truly amazing!!! My husband spend the day in the vault with his friends – they have everything you could want. The bridal suite is huge and when we arrived it was stocked with food and drinks! There are lockers, beautiful mirrors, flowers, salon. It is amazing.
Everything about the Crystal Plaza was a dream come true. I would HIGHLY recommend it for anyone looking to have a stress free beautiful wedding.

I can’t begin to describe the amazing day the wonderful crew at Crystal Plaza created for my daughter, her husband and every single person in attendance. From the bridal suite to to grooms suite…the cocktail hour, the reception…the food, the drinks…The staff made sure every detail was handled perfectly. They were there all day if we needed them, but were not intrusive at all. They made sure everything was perfect and let us just enjoy every second of this magical day. Our every request was fulfilled without any hiccups. And most importantly, my little girl had the most amazing day!!! Max and everyone at Crystal Plaza made her dream day happen. Thank you all. Hoping my other kids want to get married here as well!

Five stars is not even close to a high enough rating to truly explain how absolutely amazing Crystal Plaza is. I know many brides say they had the best wedding... it has been three weeks since my wedding and my husband and I are still receiving messages "that was absolutely the best wedding I have ever been to." I never imagined having as amazing of a day as I did. Absolute perfection. From start to finish.
Planning with Crystal Plaza was a dream for any bride - especially my Type A self. Max is just so accommodating and aims to make his customers as happy as they can be. Iris was so detail oriented I did not have a worry in the world about the little things - and she has the most calming energy. Talmia is so kind and responds so quickly to every email. The maitre'd team and attendants are the highest quality staff around.
We started our morning in the bridal suite. My first attendant checked on me so often making sure I had everything I needed. She even checked on all the other girls (all 22 of them...). They gave us breakfast and lunch all while we were getting ready.
The same is to be said for my husband! All of the guys had a blast in the groom's suite! Golf simulator, pool table, barber chair, you name it they've got it. They were just as attended to and pampered.
Throughout the reception we were never unattended. Ashley and G were fixing my lipstick, handing me and my husband a new drink whenever we turned around, making sure we were eating. They even made sure the parents were happy.
At one point we were dancing and my husband was sweating... I kid you not his attendant walked up to him with a cold wet towel. There was not a single thing they missed.
Now this is all great... but I have not even touched on the food. I have never been to a wedding and actually enjoyed every single thing I ate. Cocktail hour... my god amazing. Dinner... who ever goes to a wedding and says their dinner was out of this world?!... best steak I ever had! Dessert - No words to explain how amazing.
For cocktail hour our guests complimented everything, but these the most: lamb chops, cheeseburger sliders, whole pig, bao buns, raw bar, mac and cheese, quesadillas.
For appetizer we did the 5 compartment plate - people keep saying they have never seen anything like it.
Shot Carts!!! We had 2 shot carts on the dance floor... this got everyone loosened up. The dance floor was packed the entire night.
Dessert - you MUST do the Traveling Treats. People never had to stop dancing. Over 15 desserts came to the dance floor and every table. I am telling you people dancing with ice cream cones, donuts, brownies, milkshakes, cannolis. Insane.
Italian Bakery Finale... MUST HAVE. People still say this was so cool. Everyone filled a box of the treats they wanted as they left.
We had our after party upstairs and it was perfect. Little snack foods for all the tipsy friends. And an awesome balcony for cigars.
There are simply no cons. I am begging friends to get married here so I can go back as a guest. You are treated as royalty from the moment you walk through the doors. Not a place in New Jersey can hold a candle to Crystal Plaza. So many venues are factories and constantly pump out the same wedding every single weekend. This was like nothing I had ever seen. I am so sad it is over! If you are looking to make your wedding day the best day of your life... book it here. It will be a dream come true, the most magical day you could ever imagine.

My wedding experience at Crystal Plaza was nothing short of extraordinary. The team there is so caring, reliable and fun to work with - truly a dream for any bride. Max took our wedding to the next level- he shared tons of ideas that made our wedding extra fun and memorable for our guests. He was also super responsive, helpful, and worked so well with us (and I'm not the easiest bride to work with- I have a lot of opinions & questions) to make our wedding truly spectacular. Ryan was our day-of event manager who also added to much to our wedding day experience. From tying the grooms bow-tie to being a positive presence, he was awesome.
Now some details...
The food: Incredible- guests RAVED about our food afterwards. The traveling desserts on the dance floor were so fun and delicious. We also did a savory surprise at the end which was beyond.
The bridal suite & grooms room: Incredible- made the getting ready experience SO much fun for our bridal party. Getting ready in the bridal suite really made me feel like a princess.
The atrium: amazing room for a ceremony - the skylight was beautiful and made us feel like we were outside without any stress of weather issues :)
Every aspect was executed perfectly.
I would give 10 stars if I could!!!

It is hard to put into words how truly incredible the Crystal Plaza is. From the minute we started working with Max, he made our dreams into a reality. The Crystal Plaza took care of EVERYTHING and made wedding planning absolutely stress free. From the food, to the service, to the lighting, to the INSANE bridal suite and vault, the Crystal Plaza has it all. Thank you Max and the entire Crystal Plaza staff for making our wedding the most magical, unforgettable night of our lives.

The Crystal Plaza was truly the most unbelievable amazing place to get married! The attention to detail and the high quality service is unlike any wedding venue I've experienced before (and I've been to a lot of weddings... some at the fanciest venues in NYC). From the minute we walked in for our tour we were intoxicated by the smell (The Crystal actually smells like the 1 Hotel in South Beach). Every room had our jaws dropping, from the atrium with glass ceilings and a modern feel, to the grand ballroom, to the bridal & groom's suite, we were shook. Wedding planning is very stressful, but when we walked into The Crystal we felt a weight lifted off our shoulders. After we chose our date, we were made to feel like VIPs from day one. We were so impressed by the quick response time to all of our questions. Max Janoff and his team helped us customize our wedding exactly the way we wanted it. On our wedding day, all of our friends had the best time getting ready in the massive and stunning bridal suite, and the vault was the coolest man cave ever. My bridal attendant Chloe was one step ahead of me always. She was like a guardian angel. My husband's groom attendant Ryan was beyond helpful and awesome. When it came time for our ceremony, Ryan and Chloe made sure no one saw my dress before hand (which was really important to me). They used walkie talkies to coordinate when the music would change during the precession. It was such a smooth run operation, it was mind blowing. Saving the best for last: THE FOOD. OMG. The Crystal is actually a fine dining establishment, not a catering hall. The sushi station, raw bar, guac station with tequila shots (inside a hollowed out lime), the miso cod, the short ribs, the mini hot dogs, the mini burgers, the grilled cheese & tomato soup, I could go on and on. Our family and friends have probably told us 1,000 times that they have never had food as good at a wedding (or an event) before. Also, there was NEVER a line at the bar, which everyone really REALLY appreciated. The Crystal's amazing staff was at everyone's table making sure they got their drink orders in, which is not something I've ever seen at a wedding before. The party was unreal, magical, the best night of our lives. I will be looking for every excuse in life to host another event at The Crystal Plaza. I cannot thank the Janoff family and the Crystal Plaza team enough for making our day everything we had ever dreamed of!

We had my daughters' wedding this past weekend at Crystal Plaza. I have to say, it was pure perfection; from start to finish!
The service, food and venue itself is all phenomenal! The new Atrium room is spectacular! The Vault for the groom and his groomsmen is amazing! And the new Bridal suite is simply beautiful! The Janoff family has thought of everything to make the most perfect wedding! Don't look anywhere else!
