My partner and I were married here in November 2025, and from the moment we walked into the venue for our tour, we knew this was the place where we wanted to celebrate our big day....
The space is stunning, welcoming, and immediately feels special.
Carissa is AMAZING. From the very beginning, it was clear how much she genuinely loves what she does, and that passion shines through in every interaction. We planned our wedding from out of state, which could have been incredibly stressful, but Carissa made the entire process feel seamless. She was always quick to respond, incredibly organized, and never hesitant to offer her honest, thoughtful advice (she truly knows the venue inside and out).
Fast forward to our wedding day, everything was absolutely perfect. The entire team was attentive, professional, and fully invested in making sure our day was exactly what we envisioned. We felt supported, cared for, and able to truly enjoy every moment.
Two months later and our friends and family are still raving about the venue, the food, the service, and the overall experience. We could not recommend Felina more for your wedding day. Book it! You won’t regret it.

A huge part of what made the night so flawless was the leadership behind the scenes. Carissa, the General Manager, is truly exceptional. Her planning, organization, and overall execution were unmatched. Every detail was thought through, every transition was seamless, and her team delivered at the highest level. She gave us complete confidence from start to finish and absolutely delivered.
Ricardo, the maître d’, brought an incredible energy to the entire evening. His presence elevated the night in a way that’s hard to describe: attentive, charismatic, fun, and completely on point. His enthusiasm, professionalism, and overall awesomeness made us and our guests feel celebrated every single moment.
The staff as a whole was outstanding: polished, kind, and perfectly in sync. And the food? Truly unforgettable. Every course was phenomenal, beautifully presented, and still being talked about by our guests days later.
Felina didn’t just host our wedding, they elevated it. Between Carissa’s unmatched execution and Ricardo’s unforgettable energy, our wedding night exceeded every expectation we had. If you’re considering Felina for your wedding or any special event, look no further. This team is elite, and we will forever be grateful for the incredible night they gave us.

y with Felina. The checkered floors are stunning (we're still hearing about how much guests loved that feature), the soaring ceilings with the gorgeous light features, and of course the focal point of the vault door. It's a perfect wedding venue if you're looking for something that's a little bit unique but still incredibly classy and breathtaking. Because the venue is just so naturally stunning, you truly don't need to add too many florals or decor if that's not your vibe.
I cannot say enough about how delightful and easy and FUN it was to work with the Felina team. Our initial meeting with Carissa was outstanding! She was organized, efficient and super transparent and honest about the whole process. I felt like she could be a true partner to us throughout the whole planning process. She and her partner, Samantha, just always managed to absorb my stress after every meeting and call. They're the exact kind of people you want on your event.
Our wedding was literal magic and the Felina team was a huge part of that. They are professional and polished - they are thinking of things before the thought even forms in your brain. We felt so at ease that if we had forgotten something then their team would be on top of that. I kept waiting for something to go wrong or some kind of hiccup and it just never happened. Our bridal attendant and maitre' D kept things flowing flawlessly- we didn't have to lift a finger and actually got to have that feeling of being the guests of honor. Oh and the food? AMAZING!!! Our guests were blown away by how much and how amazing the food was at the cocktail hour - the delicious dinner was an amazing cherry on top. Felina is honestly on top of everything!
Working with wedding professionals is literally a game changer and I highly recommend it if you want the most fun and stress-free day.
I can't say I would ever want to plan another wedding again haha; but if I had to, Felina would be a no-brainer.

Felina was the only venue my husband and I toured, but we just knew it was the place for us. Growing up in North Jersey, we both knew and have been to venues all over this area. ...
As awesome as those places are, we didn’t want the traditional ballroom, catering hall experience. I grew up just 10 minutes away from Felina, so I was surprised to come across it during my wedding venue search; I had never heard of it before, as it had only been open for about 3 years at the time we booked. We could not have made a better decision having our wedding at Felina. It is such a unique and stunning space. It made the most beautiful backdrop for our big day. Not only is the venue space stunning, the food was fantastic. Before booking, my husband and I went for dinner and were very impressed with our meals. Our guests are still talking about how delicious the food was. Everything at cocktail hour was fantastic. Adding on the mozzarella and raw bar were great decisions as well. Another highlight was our food tasting, which was such a nice experience to share leading up to the wedding. I also cannot say enough good things about our memory-maker, Carissa. She is THE nicest, happiest, most knowledgable, just all around best person to work with. Working with Carissa was a true highlight of having our wedding at Felina. I could not recommend Felina more!

Finding the right words to express our overwhelming excitement with choosing Felina as our wedding venue feels nearly impossible. Hosting approximately 150 guests this past weekend...
, our event unfolded flawlessly. The staff's attentiveness ensured that every detail was meticulously executed, from a well-managed bar ensuring drinks flowed continuously to the unceasing rave reviews about the delicious and plentiful food. Throughout the night, both we and our guests felt exceptionally cared for - our guests loved the space and found it to be exceptionally photogenic. We received many compliments on how beautiful the venue was.
Our pre-wedding rehearsal dinner at Felina's restaurant was equally exceptional, making sure our family and friends received excellent service from beginning to end.
Carissa, undoubtedly the cornerstone of our experience, handled our myriad inquiries leading up to the event, and supported our unique requests with unparalleled grace and efficiency. She truly epitomized the excellence of Felina's team.
Overall, we could not ask for a better experience than what the staff at Felina delivered. The first-rate service gave us confidence that we would be well taken care of for our big day - and they delivered. Don't hesitate to choose Felina, you won't be disappointed.

Our guests were all also obsessed with the food, some saying it's the best food they'd ever had at a wedding before!!! Although this venue does not have an official bridal suite to get ready in, they still have a smallish bridal suite that came in handy the day of the wedding. It was big enough for both our bridesmaids and groomsmen to hang out in together and it was nice for us to have a private bathroom/a place we could put all our stuff. Thank you again Felina for an AMAZING wedding day!!!!

Choosing Felina as our wedding venue was almost as easy as saying yes when my husband proposed! When we got engaged and started looking at venues, we found Felina during an online ...
search and immediately booked a tour. We were looking for a venue that was NOT a traditional ballroom or a farmhouse, and the moment we walked into Felina, we knew we found the perfect venue for us. From the modern, classy chandeliers, to the timeless vault door, gorgeous marble black and white floor, and all of the other beautiful elements, Felina checked off every box. Planning a wedding in 6 months without a wedding planner or outside coordinator is no small feat, and we could not have done it without Carissa, who truly lives up to her title as Felina’s “memory maker.” Not only is Carissa one of the nicest people we have ever met, she was attentive, responsive, and professional from start to finish, and executed every little detail we wanted on our wedding day above and beyond our expectations. All of the staff at Felina are so nice and professional and helped make our day so special and go seamlessly. In addition, all of the food from cocktail hour to dinner was delicious and our guests are still raving about it! The pre-wedding tasting was such a special (and delicious) experience and really got us excited for our wedding day. Everything was so fresh and it’s clear that the chef puts a lot of thought into creating a true farm to table experience. We cannot recommend Felina enough and keep saying we’d love to go to another wedding there as guests! We can’t wait to celebrate anniversaries and other special events in the future at Felina!

If you are searching for a unique wedding space that does not feel like another banquet ballroom then look no further! My husband and I knew that we both wanted a unique space with...
some history. We toured dozens of old mansions, and other unique spaces when I came across Felina via a google search. From the minute we walked into the space we were in awe. The beautiful lights, the big windows, the bank vault. We immediately knew this was our dream venue. To top it all off, we were able to try the food at their restaurant before the wedding day. We loved it so much that Felina quickly became one of our favorite date nights. My husband and I were engaged for 2 years so we were in the wedding scene for some time and from what I can tell, Landmark Hospitality is nothing short of perfection. Their staff always went above and beyond for us. Shawn was always a friendly face at the restaurant, Carissa was super responsive from the minute we met and worked with us on all of our wishes for the day, our day of staff was super professional. We could not have asked for a more perfect day and more perfect venue. Food, service, ambiance, this venue checks every single box. Thank you so much Felina staff, we will remember you all forever.

s, provided an enchanting atmosphere that elevated our celebration. It was actually the first and only venue we looked at before booking our date a year and a half ago.
It is hard to mention Felina and not mention Carissa, a true pleasure to work with and the nicest person you will ever meet. As the head of events, Carissa played a pivotal role in ensuring that every detail exceeded our expectations. Her expertise and dedication were evident in the seamless coordination of our ceremony and reception, making our day truly magical. We could have not done this without her!
The culinary experience at Felina was nothing short of extraordinary. The menu left a lasting impression on our guests, who couldn't stop raving about the delicious food. We also cannot stop talking about how amazing the tasting was a few weeks before the wedding. It was truly a mini wedding in itself with other couples and families.
Frank, the maitre de, orchestrated the reception with finesse, ensuring that the service was impeccable.
A special thank you to Annie, our bridal attendant, whose unwavering attentiveness added an extra layer of comfort and joy to our day.
Felina, with its stunning venue, exceptional food, and outstanding service, surpassed all our dreams for the perfect wedding. Five stars don't seem enough to express our gratitude for the memories you've helped create.
We look forward to sharing many more memories at the restaurant!

We were married at The Treasury at Felina in September 2023. If you are considering this wedding venue then my husband and I highly recommend scheduling an in-person tour to truly ...
appreciate the natural light in the space, dine at their onsite restaurant, and be prepared to heavily invest in your florist as the space would have appeared bare without our florist’s installations. (Thank you again to Olivia’s Floral Designs & Events in Wyckoff, NJ!)
For background, we secured our date in October 2022 and anticipated meeting the guest minimum of 135 people for our onsite ceremony and black-tie reception. On our wedding day, we had approximately 100 guests; and the Felina allowed for us to allocate the remaining food and beverage minimum towards food and beverage enhancements (pre-ceremony champagne, additional food stations during cocktail hour, dessert enhancements for the guest tables, late night bites). Our guests were extremely pleased with the food and beverages offered throughout the evening, and we felt this was the most important part of the guest experience. We should also mention several of the items on the restaurant menu are offered as part of the standard wedding package and/or wedding enhancements, which is ideal for pre-wedding celebrations or future anniversaries with your future spouse!
During our wedding planning process, we enjoyed working with the onsite wedding coordinator and receiving their input as it related to our wedding day timeline. To our knowledge, the Felina team worked well with the other wedding vendors and were attentive to our wants and needs on the wedding day.
Although this is not the most affordable wedding venue in the area, we felt it was money well spent and we highly recommend this wedding venue for couples in the greater New York City / North Jersey area!

ith Felina. First, the venue is truly unique and beautiful. It really provided the perfect backdrop for our wedding photos and more than lived up to our expectations. We had several guests comment on it being one the most beautiful venues they've ever attended a wedding reception at - and we agree! Besides the timeless look, the food throughout the night was delicious and plentiful. We absolutely loved the cocktail hour menu - it even impressed the pickiest eaters among our family and friends. As a bonus, the tasting before the wedding was so much fun to do with our families and they were super accommodating for us! They executed the His & Hers drinks perfectly, and the staff were incredibly attentive to us the whole night (at no point did we have an empty glass or plate!). The staff was really great throughout the evening, but Carissa is truly the star of Felina. She patiently answered the hundreds of questions we threw at her in the lead up to the wedding, was extremely understanding when we got caught in traffic and were late to the walkthrough, and was absolutely amazing on the day of. She really helped work her magic to make sure none of the details were overlooked and with some quick thinking even helped avert a mini-"disaster" one of the vendors almost caused. We could not recommend Felina (or Carissa!) more highly! Felina was worth every penny and we're so glad we chose it to host our reception!

Carissa was the absolute best. Every single question that we asked, she had an answer to. She was extremely responsive and in the days leading up to the wedding and on the wedding day she and her team made our day memorable. We are weeks out from our wedding and our guests are still raving about how good the food, drinks, and service was at Felina. The venue is gorgeous with the vault and floating chandelier. There are so many good spots to take gorgeous pictures. There are 2 bars and the drinks kept flowing! If you are worried about the ceremony and reception being in the same place, don’t stress! They flipped the room in 42 min flat and as our guests were eating and drinking on the mezzanine during cocktail hour. Our guests didn’t even notice the room flip. It was also nice that on the day of our wedding the Felina rooftop was open to the public. So after the reception our guests could go to the roof to buy their own drinks and enjoy the view of Ridgewood. I couldn’t be more happy with picking Felina to have our ceremony and reception and if I had to, I’d pick them 100 more times. Thank you for making our wedding day so special for me, my husband, our families and friends!

She was clearly knowledgeable and had some tricks up her sleeve (cue fixing my husbands bout in 0.2 seconds with a needle). Our wedding food was very important to us and Felina certainly was an A+. We tried the restaurant before booking our wedding and we’re blown away. When we did our tasting the food was fabulous and totally held up to the wedding day. The staff at Felina did such a great job truly made the day so easy for us. Anna was my bridal attendant and she was so attentive and helpful.

If you've made it to this page and are reading this review, save yourself the time, stress, and energy and sign the contract with Felina. Seriously, do it. This venue is Landmark'...
s hidden gem: modern/gorgeous/unique, a fantastic team, and incredible food.
Before finding Felina, my husband and I spoke to several other NJ-based venues. With these venues, it felt as though we were just another couple moving through their wedding-making factory. We wanted an experience that felt unique to us. From our first conversation with CJ, the Event Director at Felina, we knew we were in good hands. CJ took the time to get to know us and bring our vision to life. His attention to detail, expertise, and level of accomodation not only made planning enjoyable, but also easy! We didn't even need to hire a day-of coordinator because CJ was on top of everything: from building and executing on the timeline, to coordinating with our vendors and ensuring that every detail was picture perfect (PSA: he sets up a mean candy bar!).
If CJ and the space itself aren't reason enough to choose Felina, do yourself a favor and have dinner at the restaurant. The food is UNREAL and I promise it's just as good when they're serving 150+ on your wedding day. We are still receiving texts/calls/DMs from family and friends about how incredible the food was... even better, the chef made us a special bride & groom platter of all the canapes so we were able to taste everything even though we were getting pulled in a million different directions during cocktail hour.
Thank you to CJ and the entire team at Felina for giving us the most magical wedding day ever! Here's hoping we're invited to another wedding at Felina soon!!

I had a vision for the venue - I did not want a typical ballroom, which is very hard to find in NJ. When we looked at Felina they hadn’t had many weddings (due to Covid), but the ...
vibe was exactly what I was looking for, the venue is so different and beautiful. Although it was a bit nerve-wracking, we got SO lucky when the staff completely changed 2 months before our wedding. The event coordinator, CJ, swooped in and completely eliminated the concerns we had. He was so accommodating with last minute details, and although we only worked with him for 2 months, it felt like he had been involved from the start. He really knows what he is doing when it comes to events, and has added so many great touches to the wedding day experience at Felina (more table sizes, more candle options, more décor, more options for cocktail hour) that had not been done by the previous coordinators. The day-of, we had the pleasure of working with Natalie, Lisa and Jeff. All of them were absolutely wonderful, and SO attentive to us. Natalie, the bridal attendant, was my savior. She went ABOVE and beyond to make sure I was taken care of, I wish I could get married again just to hang out with her. Natalie and Lisa even re-pinned my entire bustle after it ripped and helped fix my hair when it became a bit crazy from dancing. Our guests have been raving about the food and drinks, as well as the service from the wait staff. We can't thank the staff enough and would highly recommend!

If I could give more than 5 stars, I would! This venue is GORGEOUS, and the food is so delicious, but the customer service from the staff is bar none. When we started the process w...
e worked with an event coordinator that didnt leave me with high hopes, but the venue was breathtakingly beautiful - but in the last 4 months of planning - in swooped Christopher, and GAME CHANGER!!! He got the vibe, he was so accommodating, and fun to work with! I am so glad I got to see him on my wedding day! The bridal attendant was literally an angel, she saved me, my feet, and my sanity during the entire event. I would highly recommend this place to anyone who wants a grand but yet intimate venue. Bonus, you can come back to the restaurant on your anniversary :)

My husband and I had the same vision for our wedding. We wanted to celebrate our marriage in a unique and beautiful space, eat great food and dance to good music. We thought our li...
st was pretty simple, but after searching for months, nothing spoke to us. Then a little venue that was under construction came up in our search. Upon entering Felina, we were sold. The space wasn’t complete but the vision was there, and after dining in the restaurant, we knew our checklist would be filled.
We had a little bit of a different experience than any other couple will have going forward, dealing with construction and change of contact, but through it all, we received the best communication with the GM Mike. Mike made our entire experience wonderful- and we are so grateful for the time and energy he put into our day.
The venue is simply stunning. From the beautiful bridal suite, to the unique chandeliers, the space is full of detail. While not all spaces were complete during our wedding (the board room will be updated, as well as an outdoor bar in the future), we know that this space will only get better. We even chose to have our photos inside and outside the building because it was a gorgeous backdrop!
Now, the food. Any comment we received about the food at the wedding was the same: “It’s the best food I’ve ever had at a wedding!” While we only got a few bites in between talking with guests, having dined in the restaurant every chance we got, we knew the food would be phenomenal. Chef Anthony and his team did the best job! Fresh, local food at its best. On top of that, the service was spectacular. Anywhere you turned there was someone to help, someone to serve or clear a plate, there was never a moment during our day that I felt I was missing something or things weren’t getting done.
A few weeks before the wedding, when we were doing one of our walkthroughs, my husband and I both said that this venue is going to take off. This place will book fast, and with good reason. The day of was stress free, and above all else, it was so much fun! The only complaint - it went by way too fast! Thank you Felina for an unforgettable experience! Trish & Drew
