Chris Siversen
Executive Chef-Owner
Chef Chris Siversen’s menu is refreshingly straightforward: a beguiling blend of classic combinations and techniques imbued with just enough personality to add interest and vitality. Siversen’s philosophy is a perfect fit with Maritime Parc’s timeless coastal setting and modern design sensibility. His menu brims with dishes that feel familiar and accessible but surprise and delight with bold flavors. His menu represents the ultimate summation of his life and career to date. The restaurant’s setting flanked by the Liberty Landing Marina feels like home to Siversen, who grew up in Merrick, Long Island in a family obsessed with boats. His first kitchen job was even at a fish house in his hometown. After discovering his calling, Siversen studied at the French Culinary Institute in New York City, he cooked at such landmark restaurants as Alison on Dominick Street and the ‘21’ Club and ran the kitchen at Pamela Morgan’s Flavors. Most recently, he spent almost ten years creating and overseeing menus for the Glazier Group’s successful catering businesses, such as Twenty Four Fifth and Bridgewaters in Manhattan. Along the way, Siversen has cooked for Martha Stewart and Steven Spielberg, for the runway shows of Versace, Armani, Chanel, and Marc Jacobs, and for Presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush.

From the moment we first reached out to Maritime Parc & Priscilla, the staff was incredibly fast, helpful and caring in their communication. They took the time to understand our vision for our wedding day and provided thoughtful recommendations to ensure everything went smoothly. On the day of, the team at Maritime Parc exceeded our expectations - the service was impeccable, the food was absolutely amazing, and the venue itself was stunning. Priscilla, thank you for going above and beyond on the day of our wedding and easing all of our stresses and worries. Our 200 plus guests are still raving about the incredible experience we all had. My wife and I have a new best friend in Priscilla because of the way she made us feel comfortable throughout the entire process and day. We are so grateful to the Maritime Parc team for making our wedding day truly unforgettable. HIGHLY RECOMMEND

Had the best time at Maritime Parc for my wedding! The food and view was incredible and everyone had an amazing time! The staff was so attentive and made sure we had everything we needed and frequently checked in on us! Our sales coordinator Jayd answered all of our emails clearly and quickly and made planning such a smooth process! My guests are still telling me about how much fun they had!

Cannot recommend Maritime Parc enough! All of our guests raved how beautiful the venue was. Between the skyline of Manhattan and the incredible food we knew right away this was going to be our venue. Jayd and the rest of the staff were so kind and helpful the day of and throughout the planning process. We were truly grateful for how kind and courteous the staff was. They made us feel so comfortable and stress free. The day of coordinator and other staff who handled the day of our wedding were also wonderful! I did not have a wedding planner which made me feel a bit worried so if you are worried about not having one and this is your venue, don’t be! They handled little details and treated my husband and I like a king and queen. We had nothing to worry about! The venue itself is big enough to hold a lot of guests and not feel too crowded. They also have a restaurant where you can try the food before your tasting. My husband and I can’t wait to go back on our one year anniversary. If you’re contemplating booking/seeing this venue this is your sign to do it! You won’t regret it!

We had our wedding at Maritime Parc on 10/10/2024, and it was the best decision we ever made! Our wedding size was smaller (85 people), so we immediately fell in love with the Aviary Room (3rd floor) as our venue site. The room itself is gorgeous with no decorations, and the views of the NYC skyline/statue of Liberty are amazing.
Priscilla was our sales manager, and she was such a pleasure to work with! She made everything about booking the venue easy and was beyond accommodating with substitutions/changes.
I honestly cannot say enough great things about the wedding day staff. They all exceeded my expectations and made the day SO enjoyable and stress-free for all of us. They all checked on us the entire day/night and were so kind. They made the day. THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH!
My husband and I were both so happy we chose Maritime Parc. It was the most amazing day/party ever!

Maritime Parc and their staff are absolutely amazing. Throughout the entire planning process, they were incredibly accommodating and professional. They truly go above and beyond in taking care of the bride and groom in ways other venues simply don’t. And the food is outstanding! Having our wedding at Maritime Parc was the best decision we made. I cannot recommend this place enough!

We knew we wanted to host our wedding in Jersey City so our guests could enjoy the skyline and the water views. After shopping around to different venues, we landed on Maritime Parc for 7/20/24 and it was the best decision we made. I truly believe that our wedding planning year was smooth due to working with Maritime’s team. Working with Priscila, the sales manager, was like working with family. She was available whenever I needed her which made getting answers to questions quick and easy. She went above and beyond her role. This venue offers a classy food tasting and cake tasting at their restaurant. Even though they host weddings every weekend, they made us feel that ours was very special and important. We appreciated working with Alexis on our timelines and floor-plan. She was very organized and thought of all the little things that we never would have!! Our day of Captains and Bridal Attendant, Marc, Rita and Patricia were the best!! Always there when we needed them and so so kind. My family members raved about their helpfulness. The entire staff at Maritime (servers, bartenders, valet, etc) were professional and attentive. It is rare to have such good and consistent service at a wedding. Lastly… the FOOD. What other wedding venue serves Scallops over braised short ribs?? None! Choose Maritime for a stress free wedding year!

My husband and I had our wedding at Maritime Parc in June and it was soooo special. Priscilla was amazing to work with - super responsive and helpful throughout the whole planning process, and the entire staff who was there day-of was so sweet! The views were beautiful and our guests had the best time. Could not be happier with our decision to have our wedding here :)

I would not change one thing about our day at Maritime Parc. The staff (Rita and Patricia! THANK YOU) were excellent, I didn't have to ask for anything! The food was outstanding, and the drinks and bartenders were GREAT! The clean and organized venue makes the Bride and Groom feel so special. If you want an extra special day - this is the venue!

Our daughter’s picture perfect wedding was this past weekend! The views looked like a movie set, the food was incredible and the service and staff were amazing. From the very first meeting with Priscilla, we were impressed! The entire planning process was a pleasure, She was available and attentive every step of the way. The wedding coordinator Alexis was on top of everything we needed to do for the weeks leading up to the big night. Rita and Mark handled EVERYTHING the night of the wedding and the bridal attendant was amazing. Maritime Parc really knows how to throw a party! We were able to enjoy every minute of our celebration knowing they had all of the details covered to perfection. We only wish we could do it all over again and would not change a thing! We couldn't be happier!

We were blown away by the staff at Maritime Parc. From our very first tour to the day off, it was a perfect experience. Our staff the day of was completely stellar. My bridal attendant kept me hydrated! The Maitre’d and captain made it all happen without us even noticing. The servers and bar tenders left our guests in awe with the remarkable service. I wish we could have a wedding here every year! Go with this venue, you will have a stress free experience.

Extraordinary. Unique metro/retro waterfront location with spectac views of NYC. Priced similar to other NYC waterfront venues with all the bells and whistles in Brooklyn and Queens, but with easy parking on site, eager-to-please staff on all levels and SERIOUSLY FANTASTIC food for 200. Two levels with an iconic spiral staircase.
Floor to ceiling window views of Manhattan and Statue of Liberty. Wrap-around porches with firepits. Marina for a
dramatic entrance if that's your vibe. Easy access from NYC, 20 minutes in an Uber. Bar/restaurant attached to the property for early arrivals. Bride and grooms' salons. Spotless.
We had a very long list of big asks, were coordinating across several states, and made several MAJOR changes to the menu... Sales Manager Jayd was unflappable, professional, personable. Working with Event Manager Jette over more than three months was an absolute pleasure, she is so dedicated and experienced, and her constant communication and attention to getting the tiniest details just right was over-the-top. Finally, our day-of team led by Marc and Rita could not have been ANY better, in ANY
aspect. They run a very finely tuned operation, and it shows in the culture of the training and dedication of the staff to creating the wedding of your dreams.
Perfectly packed remnants of the night before from both salons, decor, flowers, wedding cake were all neatly arranged and waiting for pick up the next day.
Finally, their pricing was competitive re the other big name waterfront venues in Brooklyn and Queens. While you are planning, remember that all pricing at all venues will have an upcharge of another 30+percent.
We felt we received excellent value for the price, memories for a lifetime, and would recommend Maritime Parc without hesitation.

Our wedding at Maritime Parc in November was AMAZING!! All of the things I was slightly worried might not go as planned were executed perfectly thanks to the MP team. For starters, the Maitre 'd and Captain set up the space exactly as we had hoped and everything looked beautiful. The bridal attendant was so helpful and attentive throughout the whole night and even did my bustle for me (which my mom was super worried about getting right). Having the bridal suite was so helpful as our wedding reception required a few outfit changes.
The space itself is stunning and looks gorgeous both during the daytime and the night with the city skylight in the background. We got so many compliments on the view. I also really wanted a space with a separate room for cocktail hour and the 3rd floor cocktail hour space was gorgeous. The MP space also provides a variety of different settings for all the guests. I was worried that the space might feel too spacious for our ~185 guest count, but the dance floor was full the whole time, people were able to talk and mingle by the bar while still hearing each other, and people went outside on the veranda the whole night to enjoy the view. It truly lent itself to a special night for all types of guests.
Lastly, we got a lot of compliments on the food, dessert (donuts and sundae bar), and signature cocktails we had. All in all, the MP team went above and beyond and we had the most wonderful wedding of our dreams. I would highly recommend booking at this wedding for a beautiful, NYC skyline wedding!

There are no words that can adequately describe how much we loved our experience with Maritime Parc. From the very first meeting, we fell in love. The customer service is out of this world, from the planning process to the day-of, the food was absolutely next level (and we are STILL receiving compliments), the space and views are unmatched, and we truly could not be happier with every single aspect of our wedding.

From the first time we toured the venue, my husband and I were blown away. It is modern, chic, and not your traditional ballroom venue. The views are incredible of the NYC skyline (and I am from the hudson county area and even I was blown away!). Our sales contact, Priscila was fantastic from day 1 all the way to our last week of the wedding. We lover her!! The staff are so attentive, warm, and caring. Both Priscila and Alexis, the event coordinator answered our questions quickly and promptly via text, phone, or email - and we had many questions during wedding planning. The Food is DELICIOUS, our cake was delicious, the space is bright and airy, and at night romantic, modern, and city chic. My guests were blown away by the cocktail hour, lobby, food, and reception. 10/10 recommend. Even the day of staff- Marc, Rita, and our bridal attendant were wonderful. We had a wonderful experience and would not trade it for the world. Do not hesitate to book MP if you are unsure.

We recently had our wedding at Maritime Parc, and our sales manager Priscilla was amazing to work with from start to finish! Maritime was the 2nd venue that we toured and from the moment we stepped foot inside we knew we had found a hidden gem! The venue has stunning views of downtown Jersey City, and the Manhattan skyline. Venue aesthetic and food were two top priorities for us when looking for a venue, and Maritime Parc did not disappoint - guests are still telling us that this was the best food that they have had at a wedding! My sister has a severe nut allergy, and the team was more than accommodating in creating a nut free menu for our wedding, and even offered additional alternatives to replace items that were supposed to contain nuts.
We worked with Alexis during the last 3 months of our engagement, and she was very thorough in answering all of our questions, and made sure that every detail was covered. She was also flexible in allowing us to drop off and pick up decor at a time that worked best for our schedule.
Our day of team at Maritime was also incredible! We were greeted the moment we arrived, and they were so attentive throughout the whole evening! The team helped bustle my gown, so that my mom and sister could enjoy cocktail hour, and my husband and I had a drink in our hands at all times! We also received many compliments from our guests about the friendly staff and bartenders - the service was on point the entire night! Priscilla went above and beyond and even drove my husband and I to our afterparty, after our shuttle did not arrive.
Picking Maritime Parc was one of the best decisions we made, and we truly could not have asked for a more perfect team and setting for our wedding! We love that we can go back to Maritime Parc and eat at the restaurant - the staff is always very friendly and the food is amazing! We could not recommend Maritime Parc more!

There aren't enough words to describe how amazing Maritime Parc is. We booked it almost two years ago for our wedding this past weekend and they have literally held our hand throughout the whole process. Priscilla is top notch and goes the extra mile in every way. She feels like family at this point. The food is amazing and the drinks were strong and plentiful. Our guests are still talking about it and said "best food i've had at a wedding". They made the wedding planning process enjoyable and were so accommodating. The word no is not in their vocabulary, they do everything in their power to make things happen. We worked with Jette, Mark + Rita (Maitre d) and Patricia (Bridal Attendant). They were all amazing. I can't recommend Maritime Parc enough!!!

I got married at Maritime Parc July 29th this year and it was the most perfect day! Working with Maritime has been an overall perfect experience. Priscilla is incredible to work with and answers an email or a text in a split second! From the moment we toured we knew it was perfect! With amazing views on NYC on the water, this venue was the perfect mix of an indoor venue with outdoor features. Every step of the way the venue was great and day of everything ran smoothly and everyone was so attentive. We still have people letting us know that the wedding was so perfect and elegant and how much they loved the food! I would 100% recommend maritime as a perfect wedding venue!

Maritime was actually the first venue my husband and I looked at and we immediately booked it a few hours after we saw it. Our guests couldn’t get over its beauty. It’s in the perfect location being right on the JC marina and having views of Lady Liberty and of course the NYC skyline. The venue is immaculate. The staff is a well oiled machine and the food is incredible. Not a single thing was missed. I cannot recommend this venue enough!! What an incredible team of people. Our day wouldn’t have been the same without each one of them. Thank you so much, Maritime! We will be back to eat at the restaurant and relive the most special day of our lives.

We saw Maritime Parc as our 2nd or 3rd venue visit out of 12 total. My fiancé wanted city views and coming from a big Italian family I cared about great food most of all. We loved that this venue did not have the traditional crystal chandelier ballroom. The reception room illuminated ceiling tiles are so unique and the white walls felt so fresh. We loved the outdoor decks on the third floor/ cocktail hour and second floor/reception room.
In order to help us decide which venue to choose, we tried the restaurant and it quickly became our favorite restaurant!! We compared every venue to Maritime Parc and finally decided to book our big day here. Priscila was so wonderful in helping us to book our wedding. She is so personable and made me feel comfortable calling her to ask anything at all. I felt like she became my friend. Alexis was very organized in gathering our final information and day of requests which made us feel heard and cared for. Marc and Rita greeted us with giant smiles and willingness to listen and help with our decor and logistics. They did not forget a single detail we mentioned. Patricia was a wonderful bridal attendant. She made sure we had all the food we wanted to eat in the bridal suite and drinks in our hands (or water!) all night long. She and Rita helped to bustle my gown before heading to cocktail hour so that my MOH didn't have to stop enjoying herself.
Our guests have told us how memorable the food was at our wedding here at Maritime Parc. We were all having so much fun at the wedding that we extended our wedding an extra 30 minutes which was so unexpected, and so worth it! All of these main players, Priscila, Marc, Rita, Patricia, Alexis, have been working at MP for many many years which I believe speaks volumes. If they have enjoyed working together for so long, this has to be a great establishment from top to bottom.
My now husband and I will continue to go back to Maritime Parc again and again to enjoy the AMAZING food and cocktails at their restaurant. The head chef and chefs here must LOVE what he does because you can taste the care through the cooking. I can so confidentially say that MP makes my favorite cocktail I have had anywhere, period: San Sabo. The food is the #1 reason we chose this venue. The views were #2. The confidence we felt in the staff caring about our big day and that they would take care of us was #3. Everything is was just natural. If you are concerned about treating your guests to SUPERB wedding food (not typical wedding food) and a gorgeous atmosphere, choose Maritime Parc.
We would do it all over again if we could.
Thank you to Priscila and everyone at Maritime Parc!
Love,
Kristina & Chris

The food, views and wedding team there are amazing through and through. Our day of captains were Mark and Rita. They were great and made sure my vision was executed perfectly. I gave a 4.5/5 because the event coordinator whom you work with leading up to the event, Alexis, was mostly unhelpful when we were making decisions or changes leading up to the wedding and seemed overall bothered by our requests. Additionally, we felt she was rigid when we requested basic, but out of the box ideas. Also, the “bridal attendant” was nowhere to be found the day of when my husband and I needed something. However, with good people around you it won't be much of a disturbance/bother. Otherwise, amazing venue with unbeatable food and views!

Maritime Parc is an INCREDIBLE wedding venue. Their level of professionalism is unmatched. Working with the staff to set up the thousands of details for our wedding was seamless. The staff was responsive, attentive and knowledgeable. We KNEW we were in good hands. Let’s not forget the STUNNING views of the city skyline and the DELICIOUS food both during cocktail hour and reception. Our guests RAVED about the venue and how gorgeous it was. I would 100% recommend a wedding here!!! Your venue will be an “easy” partner to work with among the 20 or so vendors required for a wedding! 5 stars, 10 out of 10!

What a beauty!
After visiting several venues, we knew Maritime Parc was the perfect space for us!
As a same sex couple, it was of most importance that the venue we chose was inclusive and experienced with LGBTQ+ weddings. We instantly fell in love with the different rooms, cleanliness, and location.
Even as a big wedding venue, we always felt like they were personally catering to us. From the beginning, the sales team and event coordinator were there to answer all our questions and keep us on track.
The food was spectacular! Every item from the greens to the desserts tasted fresh, balanced, and delicious! Food was a crucial piece of our planning, and our expectations were far exceeded.
The bar and drinks were exceptional! We had and adults only event with people ready to party and that exactly what happened!
The service was impeccable! Never was there an empty glass of plate sitting in front of you. We really felt like the entire team was happy to be there making our celebration a reality! Super special shout out to our event captain and bridal attendant. These professionals went above and beyond to assure we had everything we needed throughout the night.
If you’re looking for extraordinary food, service and breathtaking views on the Hudson then look no further than Maritime Parc for your event! The restaurant is also a must!

The team at Maritime Parc knows what they are doing! We worked with Jayd and Alexis leading up to the event and they could not have been more helpful. They both replied quickly, no matter how silly the question, and would just pick up the phone and call if anything needed more clarification. The team that worked the event was fabulous. We did not have to lift a finger the entire night. The bridal attendant was so kind and looked out for us when we didn't know we needed it! This place is a well oiled machine - not to mention the food!! We have been told by so many guests that it was the best wedding food they've ever had. Cocktail hour blew everyone away. Between the views, architecture, staff, and food you will not regret your choice to get married at Maritime Parc!

We had the most amazing wedding at Maritime Parc. Our guests could not stop talking about the food and service. We were immediately drawn to Maritime for the city views and modern room and we were blown away by our final product. We had an excellent time working with Sales, owner of venue and our staff the day of the wedding were amazing. Our one flaw was our event coordinator. Unfortunately we did not feel she provided any solutions and was always saying "no" to our ask to add on items to the party. It became difficult to work with her in the end and I wish Maritime would have allowed us to work with someone else. She didn't make you feel special at all for booking your wedding there and in fact did not treat you as a client it was purely business. I would definitely recommend Maritime Parc for a wedding, I would just hope someone could work with a different event coordinator because it made planning challenging when it didn't need to be and was supposed to be fun.

Maritime Parc was the most beautiful and perfect wedding venue for us. From the moment we saw the space, we knew we wanted to get married there! Everyone we worked with was so professional - Priscilla, Alexis, and Rita were all such critical parts of our wedding planning process & the day-of and we couldn't have asked to work with a better team. Our guests commented on how beautiful the venue was, how truly amazing the food was, and how professional the staff had been. We are so thrilled with how smoothly the day went and can't wait to see all of our photos to relive it again. I highly recommend working with Maritime Parc for your wedding!

If I could give one million stars I would!
Maritime Parc blew my expectations out of the water from our first meeting with Priscila through our wedding. Priscila immediately made us feel like family and like she had our best interests at heart. Throughout the entire planning process, the entire Maritime Parc team was an absolute joy to work with.
Our wedding day was the best day to ever exist and every single thing was PERFECT! Priscila, Patricia, Alexis and every person at Maritime helped to make our day amazing. It's been over two weeks and I haven't stopped smiling.
A few highlights:
-- the FOOD. From the pasta stations at cocktail hour, to the perfectly cooked and hot scallops in the entrees, to the most delicious carrot cake-- the food was amazing, wonderful, and perfect. One of our guests said "You never leave a wedding raving about the entree, every dinner is always the same. I've never had this good of a dinner at a wedding." Our guests could not believe the quantity and quality of food. It's like eating at a nice restaurant and not the same boring chicken or fish options like you have at most weddings.
-- the aesthetic of Maritime Parc is what every bride who wants a chic, classy, city wedding needs. From the huge windows with unmatched views of Manhattan and the Statue of Liberty to the amazing vaulted ceilings in the aviary room, to the wrap around patios with plenty of seating and fire pits on each floor-- the venue itself is a dream. You don't need to have wild floral arrangements during the reception or the ceremony because the venue speaks for itself (it also photographs incredibly well).
-- the acoustics in the cloud room are unmatched. Having a really fun party with great music was super important to us. We didn't want the music to be too loud or have an echo and the acoustics of the room were absolutely perfect.
-- the team at Maritime is beyond amazing. Every person at Maritime made sure that my husband and I (and all of our guests) were having a great time the entire night. I'm pretty sure one of the bartenders lined up 25 shots at once for a group of guests! The Maritime team also set up the venue with our personal effects beautifully and made set up incredibly smooth for all of our vendors.
I could not be happier with selecting Maritime Parc as our wedding venue. I can only hope someone invites me to a wedding there so I can go back :)

Beyond fabulous! Jayd was fantastic along with all the staff. Food, service, details, etc. - everything was perfect. So very pleased and overjoyed with this venue.

THE GOOD:
(1) Booking: Our sales manager, Jayd, was fantastic! She promptly responded to all our questions and worked with us to find a great date and package that worked with our budget.
(2) Space: Maritime Parc (MP) is a beautiful venue. The reviews and photos don't do it justice, go see it! If your numbers work, have your ceremony on the top floor. Both floors have wrap-around terraces and floor-to-ceiling windows, which our guests loved.
(3) Food: MP has unbelievably good food, from the cocktail hour through dessert. The dishes are also unique - instead of chicken, steak, and fish, you can get things like a duo of beef (short rib and steak), seafood pasta in lemon sauce, and scallops with ribs. Cake was a big hit!
THE BAD:
(1) Party Rental Return: We rented items from Glam Party Rentals. After our event, Glam informed us that 114 pieces were missing, which never happened to them before. MP then found 84 of the items, but then refused to ship them back or return them (Glam is 30 min away), even though clearly their error. When we inquired with our event coordinator, Alexis, again about the remaining 30 items, she said it was Glam's responsibility to gather their items and count them before leaving. Alexis also gratuitously pointed out to us that our contract says that MP is not liable for rented items. Glam's scheduled pickup time with MP was the day after our wedding, so we’re not sure how they were expected to search an entire venue the night of our wedding. We dealt with this as we were preparing to leave for our honeymoon. In the end, we had to pay for 30 missing items.
(2) Bridal Attendant: One of the most important things a bride & groom can have is an attentive bridal attendant so that you can make the best use of the limited time on your special day. We basically had no bridal attendant. When we raised that we hadn’t seen her all day to the maitre'd at the reception, she came over one time and we didn’t see her again all night.
(3) Ceremony Rehearsal: We went over our ceremony details with Alexis in advance of the wedding. Our rehearsal was a mess, and the maitre'd and captain stood in the back and shrugged their shoulders when we asked for help getting people in place. When everyone was there, they again just stood in the back, so our planner stepped in to coordinate the rehearsal, despite being told by MP that they’d do it.
(4) Cocktail Hour Bar: Alexis suggested we do an indoor-outdoor bar at cocktail hour, which we took her up on. Despite perfect weather, there was no indoor-outdoor bar at cocktail hour, just one indoor bar, and the line was long until the end. Whenever we speak to guests about our wedding, the running joke is that nobody could get a drink at cocktail hour.
OVERALL: We’re glad we had our wedding here and would choose MP again. The venue and food were excellent, and it was a beautiful wedding. However, our experience was soured by these service issues. If you're going to have your wedding here, we recommend speaking to your event coordinator in advance about these issues but beware that these or other things may happen at MP. We also recommend having a planner who can pick up the slack, as ours did, in case MP drops the ball on the day-of logistics. We wish that we felt the same level of service and support on the day of our wedding and dealing with the issues afterward that Jayd had given us throughout the booking process.

We looked at three venues before visiting Maritime Parc. By this time, I was getting very frustrated with the other venues and the many inflexible restrictions they had. It felt like they were more concerned about being heard than listening to our needs.
This, however changed the moment we visited Maritime. From our first meeting with Jayd, Sales Manager, we felt welcomed! She listened to what we wanted, answered all the questions we presented, offered suggestions when asked. She couldn’t have been more pleasant. I left that meeting with a huge smile on my face, I turned to my husband and said “ This is it! That’s our venue!”
The staff were incredible, from the Maitre’d, bridal attendant, servers, doorman; everyone was amazing and professional. On our wedding day, as soon as I walked in, I was greeted and escorted to the bridal suite, served a drink and food immediately. Through out the ceremony, the bridal attendant made sure I had a drink, I had food, asked me how I was doing, if I needed anything. I felt well taken care of. The most beautiful part was, right when we were about to leave, one of the staff members approached my husband and I and expressed how beautiful it was to be part of our wedding event she said… “we couldn’t help but notice how much love and joy was being shared with your friends and family, this really was a beautiful wedding to be part of.” That just made my day!!
Beyond the amazing stuff, the venue itself is spectacular, the best views overlooking the Manhattan skyline. Ample opportunities for amazing pictures, beautiful ambiance. The food was delicious! The cake was delicious!
If I could give Maritime Parc more than five stars, I would.
Thank you Maritime for making our dream wedding come true.

Do yourself a favor and get married at Maritime Parc! Not only is the venue beautiful and the food amazing, the staff is absolutely top tier. From our first tour to our wedding night, everyone was so friendly and easy to work with. They really have planning and running a wedding down to science. Leading up to your wedding they provide you with all the information and timelines you could possibly need, but in the event you still have questions, they are always quick to get back to you. On your wedding night they keep everything running so smoothly that the only thing you need to worry about is getting married! I cannot hype everyone at Maritime Parc enough. To the couple getting married, a wedding can be stressful and overwhelming, but they make it a breeze (it's like they do it every weekend!)

My husband I held our wedding ceremony and reception at Maritime Parc on August 5th, 2022. Maritime Parc was the first and last venue I visited. It is simply perfect. Whether you are on the ground floor, second floor (ceremony/reception) or third floor (cocktail hour) there are no better views in Jersey City of Manhattan. They are perfect from every angle. The food at Maritime Parc is beyond (literally the most delicious tasting and also never ending). The service impeccable. The ambiance is classy. There is no detail left unturned. From our very first meeting with Priscila, Sales Manger, to our food tasting, to dropping off materials the day before, to the wedding day itself- it was all EASY. Priscila is like talking to your best girlfriend. She just gets it and makes you feel so comfortable throughout the entire process, literally always available to answer any question you may have. Alexis, our event coordinator, was also incredible. Even while planning her own wedding which took place just a couple weeks before ours, she was constantly accessible, helpful, resourceful and patient with questions and changes - even up until the last day. On the day of the wedding, Rita, Marc and Patricia (Maitre'd's/ bridal attendant) were the most accommodating, calming, kind, professional people I've ever worked with. Not just to us, the bride and groom, but to our parents, family and bridal party - essentially anyone they encountered. Truly a dream team. I cannot say enough amazing things about our wedding day experience. I would pick Maritime Parc in every lifetime.

Maritime Parc was the second venue that we visited and we could not be more happy to have chosen them to host our wedding! From the beginning, they worked with us on our budget, and were super responsive throughout the planning process. We especially loved meeting with Alexis to plan out the final details leading up to the day of - she made everything so easy and accommodating to our needs. On the day before and day of the wedding, Rita and Marc, our coordinators, and Patricia, our attendant, ensured everything was executed seamlessly! We were so relaxed knowing that they had everything covered, and they even packed up extra food for us to take home after the wedding.
The views of the Manhattan skyline and the Statue of Liberty during cocktail hour and the reception were priceless, and the balconies were such a hit with guests for hanging out and photos! The food was delicious - would recommend the carving station and Korean BBQ for Cocktail Hour as our guests really like them. Maritime Parc includes a cake with their wedding packages which was helpful because we did not have to hire an outside vendor, and it really was a great cake! We would definitely recommend Maritime Parc!

We recently had my daughter's wedding at Maritime Parc and it was fantastic!! The venue is beautiful inside and out! Everyone we dealt with, from the planning to throughout the wedding, were friendly, helpful and offered excellent advice. The food (from the cocktail hour, main course and dessert) was delicious. The layout of the room was spacious, with beautiful lighting and views. From the minute we walked in, the bridal attendant, captain and maître d' took over and made us all feel comfortable and ready to party! We danced, drank and ate all night!!
We couldn't have asked for a more perfect wedding! I would recommend MP to anyone looking for wonderful wedding experience!

Maritime Parc was the perfect venue for our intimate wedding of around 70 guests. It was a bit challenging for us to find a venue that accommodated a smaller guest list, and we couldn’t have chosen a better place! It’s such a unique classy layout instead of the typical ballroom wedding venue. Especially in the warmer months, it was nice that the guests could hang out inside or outside and enjoy the beautiful Manhattan skyline on the balcony. The food was also top quality and service was excellent! My bridal attendant, maitre d, and Priscilla and Alexis were wonderful to work with! They were very quick to respond to all my emails.

We had the most perfect wedding day and Maritime Parc knocked it out of the park! The venue is beautiful, the food is spectacular, the staff is welcoming and accommodating. From the very beginning, we knew were were in good hands with Maritime. Due to covid, we had to push our wedding date a year and they were so understanding and easy to work with - I can't count the number of times we said to each other, "wow we are so glad we chose this venue!" I had friends who were in similar situations due to covid, and they did not have the same easy experience with their venues and we felt so grateful to have clearly chosen the right place! Priscila and Alexis are wonderful to work with and really brought our vision to life! The food, the views and the service is out of this world. Our guests have not stopped raving about our wedding! We wish we could get married at Maritime 1000 more times - choose this venue and you will be sure to have the best day of your life!!!

We could not have been happier with our decision to go with Maritime Parc as our wedding venue. It was the first venue my husband and I saw, and I knew it was the one! It had just the vibe I was looking for - classy, architecturally interesting, and stunning views!
We had such a wonderful experience working with the entire Maritime Parc team, from Jayd our Sales Manager, to Alexis our event coordinator and finally our captains and bridal attendant - Marc, Rita and Patricia - you're in great hands with this team. They go above and beyond to make your day the one you dreamed of.
And the food! It's amazing! Our guests were raving about how much and how good it was. Everything was truly perfect!
Run and book your wedding at Maritime Parc!

In our search for the perfect venue for our wedding, we visited many places, but Maritime Parc left us breathless! The minute my husband and I went to visit the venue back in 2019 we knew that this was the venue for us. The breath-taking skyline and incredible architecture on the inside sold us. 3 floors with beautiful views, with up to date amenities all to ourselves from the night before the wedding and through the day of.
We thought the views would be our guests favorite part, but we were wrong. THE FOOD! OMG, endless array of passed hors d'oeuvres, cocktail stations of our choice, 2 fantastic dinner options (we did duo of beef and salmon) and lastly the dessert! All we can say is WOW. Additionally, the sales manager Priscila helped us throughout the year and was such a blessing. She was so personable, was willing to work with us on ideas that we had, and was always readily available to speak with us about any concern or question that we had.
On the day of the wedding, we met our lead captains Rita and Mark, along with our bridal attendant. They were unbelievable, and made us feel so special. They tended to every need, kept a drink in our hands, kept the party moving, guided guests and I'm sure so much more behind the scenes that we may not have noticed. They even packed up all of our decor and belongings at the end of the night so that we could pick it up the next day! We can not be more thankful for how this venue and its staff treated us from the day we put down a deposit to the final pickup after our wedding!

Wow this venue was beyond amazing from start to finish. We signed the contract November 2019 and worked with Priscila as our sales manager. She was sooooo great to work with. Due to COVID we decided/had to postpone our wedding a full year. Priscila and the venue made this postponement such a seamless process. They were beyond accommodating and we can't thank them enough for that. Leading up to the wedding we worked with Alexis as our coordinator, again, such a great person to work with. She kept everything in line, hit all the details, and made sure we felt comfortable going into our big day. The day of we had the BEST team, Rita, Marc, and Patricia. AMAZING AMAZING day and experience. We didn't have to worry about a thing, everything was set up perfectly. The food, the service, every detail was so amazing and done so professionally. My friends and family keep raving on how amazing the venue was. I cannot recommend this venue enough. Thank you so much Maritime Parc for making our special day so perfect. We couldn't imagine it any other way!

The entire day and event above and beyond exceeded our expectations. We were complimented constantly about the beautiful space, the seriously delicious food (and so much! everyone left full!), and the attentive staff. The day was so smooth and easy, and we were able to relax and enjoy all of it. The Maritime truly delivered on every level.

The wedding of our dreams! Everything was as perfect as I imagined. The venue speaks for itself with the breathe taking views, but more importantly the staff and the food was superior. Priscilla and Alexis are an elite team to work with. They responded right away and were more than accommodating with our unique requests. In addition the day of staff makes your day go by seamlessly. I can not say enough about them, they made my wedding day stress free and listened to every direction. As for the food, ...my guest are still talking about it! If you are looking for high quality food this is your venue. Everything is fresh never frozen. Our cake (provided by the venue) was easily the best cake I've ever had. Alexis helped us with our special request for a rum cake with whip cream frosting. The attention to detail at this place is unmatched. Highly recommend!

Maritime Parc was an absolute dream!!! The Aviary Room is breathtaking. We booked the venue sight unseen and we were so overwhelmed with how beautiful the ceremony space was, and how breathtaking the view. The weather was perfect for our Sept wedding. My father kept saying how everything was "First Class" at Maritime Parc, from the food (epic), to ceremony space, and just overall vibe. Everyone we worked with was extremely helpful and just made our day perfect! And did I mention how good the food was? And menu options, amazing cake! I could go on and on!

Our guests have not stopped giving us compliments and we can't blame them! I wish I could relive the day over and over again because it could not have been any more perfect <3

We got married at Maritime Parc in September and the night was absolutely perfect. The venue is of course absolutely breathtaking, but outside of that, the food is incredible, the team is beyond professional, helpful and good at their job. Our guests could not stop raving about the food, saying it was the best food they ever had at a wedding and the beauty of the venue. The staff was incredible to work with. Everyone from Priscilla to Alexis as venue coordinator, to our bridal attendant and captains. They anticipated our needs all night and took care of everything. As a couple who also had to delay due to covid, the venue worked with us to change the date without issue. If you are looking for a beautiful venue with an incredible team, Maritime Parc is your place!

We just celebrated our daughter's incredible wedding this past Friday at Maritime Parc. We are so thankful to Priscila Gruberman and Marc Haskell for their patience in helping to make this event so amazing. Getting to this date wasn't easy as we had to reschedule 3 times, but we finally had the event. Every aspect of the wedding was executed meticulously by their fantastic team. The venue space is absolutely beautiful with views of Lower Manhattan and the Statue of Liberty. We had the beautiful view of the city during the ceremony. Our guests had access to the balconies during both the cocktail party on the third floor and on the second floor where we had dinner and dancing. We've been getting continuous feedback from our guests regarding the venue and the delicious food. We'd also like to thank and recognize the team during the wedding including Mark, Rita, Daniella and Alexis. Anyone looking to host an event should strongly consider Maritime Parc. Thanks you all so much again for making this a dream come true for all of us. Maxine & Gary (Parents of the Bride)

My Husband and I booked our Reception and Ceremony at Maritime Parc. Our Wedding being on 8/7/21 - and let me tell you, our guests are STLL talking about how over the top the space was. Originally we were planned for 8/29/20 - but due to Covid, you know how that goes. Maritime Parc was SO VERY accommodating. They moved our date at no charge! Priscila, MP Sales Manager, was above and beyond. She would check in us periodically and throughout the planning process. She helped to answer any questions we had (even silly ones). And even recommended other Vendors for us to use. She really wants you to have the perfect day, and is willing to do whatever she can to ensure that happens. Not something you see in a Venue Sales Manager! Her heart and soul is truly within her work!
Marc, one of the Owners was also great to work with. He helped us a lot throughout the Menu Process. Stand up guy!
Now on to the food. The food is farm to table. Not what you're used to at Wedding Receptions. Although the portions are a bit smaller than expected, the quality makes up for it. Cocktail hour was HIT! From the Duck Risotto to the Pigs in the Blankets (done classy), there's more than enough options to choose from. I've been to Wedding's with a Cocktail Hour that's overwhelming. Not to mention the grade of the food or atmosphere is not high. Not MP - the authenticity and value is there! And let me tell you they BRING IT! The passed hors d'oeuvres and signature cocktails are a nice touch, as guests are usually too busy talking to think about getting food or a drink. Since we did our Ceremony at MP, we rented the top space for the Ceremony & Cocktail Hour. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! It was great because guests could enjoy the outside space while mingling and sipping on drinks. All while snapping a few photos in front of the Freedom Tower.
The reception was excellent. The staff at MP ensured my Husband and I ate, and always had a drink in hand. They were accommodating and set up the space to our liking. If you do plan on any DIY decorations - ensure you give photos and instructions on how you want them set up. The staff will follow your guidance, if given. Unlike typical Wedding Receptions, the space is modern. No carpeting with a wood dance floor in the middle. The wrap around balcony is where most of my guests spent their time. Which also made for great photo opportunities throughout the evening. Cake was included (not typical for Wedding Venues) and was delicious. At the end of the evening MP staff packed up all our belongings ensuring we left with everything we came in with - or had dropped off prior. This was a huge help considering that's the last thing your thinking of during your Wedding Day.
Hands down if I could, I would give MP more stars. Before our Wedding, my Husband told his coworker about the Venue - in which she visited and booked instantly. Shows you just how special the space and staff are!
