Nanina's In The Park

the Bride Spoiler!! Thank you MOON!! Your Awesome!!! and Our Maitre d' Ryan who made it work like a well oiled Machine... We had my daughters wedding reception here on April 29th 2022 . I don't use the word Perfect often but in this case I have no problem saying that NANINA'S gave us PERFECT!!! FOOD FOOD FOOD AND SERIVCE SERVICE SERVICE!! WAY BEYOND EXCPECTATIONS !!! We were spoiled from beginning to end!!I have been in the customer service Business myself for 42 years and have been to many weddings! There's no Comparison NANINA'S IS THE BEST!!! I HIGHLEY RECCOMEND THIS PLACE!!! WE LOVE YOU GUYS!!! THE BOYDS

definitely one to choose. Our guests raved about the cocktail hour, dinner, and desserts.

ight away, as we wanted to look around some more at other venues, but everything kept drawing us back to Nanina’s. Our entire wedding experience was exceptional. Every question and worry I had was answered and alleviated. My wedding was in January at the peak of the Delta variant and I was losing guests left and right only weeks before the wedding, which naturally, caused more stress than needed. Stephen was understanding and tried to accommodate the very best he could. Anthony and Stephen provided us with an unforgettable night. Anthony’s generosity and kindness exceeded our expectations. Vicky was amazing the night of my wedding- whatever I needed, she was there, even when it came down to dealing with one of my vendors who was late to the wedding. Anything by husband and I needed, she was there. My guests are still raving about the food and how beautiful the night was. My only disappointment is that the night went by so fast and I didn’t get to enjoy everything I would have if I were a guest. I can’t thank Nanina’s enough, and I highly recommend!

enced so much attention and the effort that was put into every detail was beyond any expectations we had. Thank you to everyone at Nanina’s for such a fantastic day!!! I would recommend this venue to everyone!!!

t my son and daughter in law had a wedding they would never forget. Nanina's went out of their way to make sure everything was just perfect. They threw in a lot of extras at no charge to make up for switching from a Saturday to Friday night. We received so many calls from our guests that it was the best wedding they had ever been to. Special thank you to Steve for coming through with everything you promised.

eat things to say about him. He was extremely responsive, accommodating, and kind every time we spoke. We were under our minimum for our final numbers and Nanina's helped in so many ways to make up the difference. My bridal attendant was Cristal and my maitre d was Amy. They were both INCREDIBLE! So attentive and helpful. The venue itself is stunning and the food was to die for! I would do anything to relive this day all over again. Highly recommend Nanina's to everyone!

fessional and attentive. From the minute we visited Nanina's, we knew that it was the perfect place to have our wedding reception. Every single person on the staff was professional, kind and above and beyond attentive and helpful. So many of our guests told us that Nanina's made it feel like "love and warmth was in the air". From the moment we booked, Nanina's made us all feel wanted and special. It really was a pleasure working with all of the great caring professionals that provide such an unforgettable experience. I would recommend Nanina's wholeheartedly.

re to work with. Wedding planning during the pandemic wasn't easy but he was there to help us every step of the way. Thankfully we did not have to change or reschedule our wedding, it was perfect. The day of we had Vicky as our maitre'd and she was phenomenal. Vicky and our bridal attendant never once left us hanging, they were there every single second that we needed something from helping with my dress to making sure we always had a full drink in our hands. Our guests are still raving about the food (it was the main reason we chose Nanina's) and we loved that the library room provided enough seating during cocktail hour for everyone. There was not a single detail left out. We would choose Nanina's a thousand times over again and would highly recommend them to anyone searching for their perfect wedding venue!

ist, you do not ned to buy a whole lot to add to the decor. I had a simple centerpieces and flowers for the the sweetheart table and that was plenty. The food was amazing and they even worked with me on the menu to incorporate the fact that my family is Indian and I needed to change things up to accomodate their tastes while my husband's family is Hispanic. Everyone was accomodating on everything except one thing...COVID dates. I understand they are going through so much with the buisness and COVID changes/cancellations, as are all locations, but I really felt that it was such a struggle to get my date changed with the concerns for COVID early in 2021. Eventually we settled on a date, no where close to perfect, but agreeable. Overall, I still think the venue is amazing and I'm sure I would have found no fault if it was not for COVID.

day. Each and every staff member made a point to congratulate us and wish us well. I am so glad we booked Nanina's!

us a delicious breakfast and lunch while we got ready in their bridal suites. Their grounds were the most amazing backdrops for our photos, and it was decorated to perfection. I am still getting calls about how incredible the food was and how our wedding was truly one to remember. We are so thankful to Nanina's for all that they did for us.

still raving about the venue an entire month after our wedding! Everything that was planned went perfectly from initial setup to the very end of the day. I would recommend this venue to anyone!

and Nanina's made that happen for me. Vicky, my coordinator, kept me at ease from the minute I signed the contract all the way until I picked up the last of my things the day after my wedding. There is truly no one who knows the in's and out's of a wedding more than this team. Martha, my bridal attendant, managed to know what I was thinking before the thought even came to fruition. Her attentiveness gave me the confidence to freely go about my day. The food. Where to begin? The cocktail hour is to die for, and the dinner is truly spectacular, followed by an unmatched venetian table and unparalleled after party breakfast/pub food. If food is a priority look no further. The venue itself, is truly stunning. My photos were perfection outside on the bridge and on the balcony, and even though we had a beautiful day, if weather did not work out in our favor, there are plenty of stunning indoor shots on the staircase and in the bridal suite that capture that beautiful elegance that should make you feel like it's your wedding day. The ballroom is also exactly what you'd imagine a ballroom should be. It is truly breathtaking. There is truly no one in the business who does it better. Every thought, need, and want is accounted for, and I truly cannot be a more thankful bride. I'm proud to say that I am a Nanina's bride and I will recommend them one thousand times over. I can not thank everyone from Nanina's enough for making this day happen! Thank you for making me the happiest bride!

idal attendants, and staff are there for you every step of the way, making sure your day is fun and stress-free, leaving you with memories that will last a lifetime. They have two cocktail hour rooms, beautiful outdoor patio and seating, multiple bars, and the best food in the business. Another one of our favorite things about Nanina’s is the ballroom setup. The seating on the upper level is raised a bit, leaving every guest with a perfect view of the dance floor. Our wedding couldn’t of been so special without all the hard work and dedication put in behind the scenes at Nanina’s in the Park. Special thanks to the Maurillo family for making it all happen! We could not have asked for a better experience!

s in th area, BUT Nanina's in the Park Family and Staff Truly KNOCKED IT OUT OF THE PARK! The attention to detail on this Special Day was unbelievable. Wanted for nothing, didn't even have to ask. The Evening flowed pefectly without any glitch whatsoever. The Food at the Cocktail Hour was delicious and as so plentiful it was beyond belief. Dinner was exquisit. Beautiful Elegant atmosphere. As I write this reveiw, 9/19/2021 Ten Days later, attendee's are still contacting us with RAVE REVIEWS. You'll never Find Better!!!! Cordially Rob & Lyn Benaquista

would be my wedding venue. I had tons of options but Naninas had me whole heartedly. From the impeccable food, to the Beautiful grounds and scenery everything was beyond amazing. Our guest are still talking about how great our wedding was. My wedding in fact turned out to be better than I expected and Naninas in The park play a major role in that. I can not Thank them enough. Words can never express my gratitude. If we had to do it all over again they'll be who we go with without a doubt. Everything was perfect. Everyone was so attentive and helpful. I wish I can give you guy 100 thumbs up as a review haha. Thank you again for everything ❤ we appreciate you all that played a role in making our day special.

D, but the team at Nanina's made the process - which would have otherwise been difficult and quite disappointing - the most seamless and happy period of our lives! We could not have done it without them! When our big day finally arrived, every single friend and family member commented on the delicious food, the wonderful service, the friendly and welcoming the staff, and how fantastic the venue was overall! Many even said that it was one of the absolute best weddings they have ever attended! We could not be more thrilled about how our wedding day turned out, despite all of the postponements and challenging moments. Steve, Vicky, and so many other wonderful staff members made our day more than memorable - we cannot thank them enough for all of the support, guidance, and compassion they provided throughout the whole planning process. From the bottom of our hearts, we thank you for everything! For other couples out there deciding where to host your big day - look no further: Nanina's in the Park is the place for you if you want amazing food, fantastic service, wonderful support and guidance from a team of truly terrific and kind people, and a picture-perfect venue to take your pictures and to celebrate with your family and friends. If we could do it all over again, we would pick Nanina's in the Park every single time. ... and we hope you do too!

ltimately in rescheduling. When the day finally came, we were so happy with the way everything turned out! Ivana and Amy our maitre'd and bridal attendant were phenomenal!! Their attention to detail, to mitigate situations that arose and their attentiveness to our needs had us feeling like a prince & princess! IF YOU ARE GETTING MARRIED HERE PLEASE REQUEST THEM!! Our guest cannot stop raving about the great time they had and how delicious the food was! I would love to come back as a guest and enjoy it all over again.

y accommodating and worked with me to find a new date. I ended up moving from an evening wedding to a morning one but everything was still beautiful and they worked hard to make sure we were all happy, even with the early morning start. Giselle was my bridal attendant for the night and she was so attentive and sweet, always there when I needed her and ready and willing to help me track down things I needed. You really cannot find a better venue. All my guests told me it was the best wedding they had ever attended and that the food was amazing, which is probably the highest compliment you can give a venue. The ballroom, bridal suite, library, and outside grounds are all just beautiful. It's really the most fantastic venue I've been to and I cannot recommend it enough. If you are in the area looking for a venue, please go see Nanina's. They will take care of you, your wedding party, your guests, and they will make you feel like you're the only couple in existence while you're there.

... there are not enough adjectives to describe how exceptional they were and are. This group truly understands customer service!!!! Call them and set up a tour.... you won't regret it!

above and beyond to make sure my husband and I were 100% happy. They really made us their top priority throughout this whole journey, especially on our wedding day. I’ve never felt more like royalty in my life and was not expecting that kind of service at all. It was so appreciated. From our bridal attendant to our Matri’d, to working with Vicky and Barry all year long, they really have an awesome team. It’s no surprise why Nanina’s is one of New Jersey’s top wedding venues.

ng to worry about though  Now, fast forward to the wedding day, and everything was amazing! We dropped off our stuff earlier in the week and they set up everything perfectly for day of the wedding. The amount and quality of the food is just indescribable. People keep calling and texting me telling me they’ve never seen a cocktail hour or dessert like it. There are 2 bridal suites! The main bridal suite has 3 getting ready stations and then just a huge room with a bunch of couches, a bar, 2 bathrooms and more, to hang out in for the day. There’s a balcony that’s beautiful for pictures. They bring food throughout the day and made the getting ready process really relaxing. The other bridal suite is off the reception room near the bride and grooms table, so that the bride (and bridal party) can use a private restroom. The groomsmen have their own suite downstairs by the offices, but they mainly just get changed there and then hang out in the library for the day. There are so many locations outside to take pictures, including a cute little bridge and some water features. There’s a beautiful arch/gazebo for outdoor ceremonies. They run a really smooth wedding here. Honestly didn’t have a single issue on the wedding day.

l wedding date (per contract), Nanina’s allowed us to do just that. Steve was incredibly helpful throughout the process and very responsive and patient with our many questions. Fast forward to our wedding day: everything went so smoothly with special thanks to our vendors including Nanina’s. We did not have a wedding planner or day-of coordinator, and we brought our own centerpieces. Liz and her team set up everything perfectly and went above and beyond to ensure the ballroom and our signs were laid out beautifully. I had two bridal attendants – one in the morning while getting ready and one in the evening. Miriam was so helpful in the morning and catered to me and my bridesmaids in the bridal suite along with my husband and his groomsmen, who were getting ready in another room at the venue. Breakfast, lunch, and mimosas were provided by Nanina’s (all delicious). When we came back from our church ceremony, Amy and Ivonne took great care of us. We were getting pulled left and right for photos and video, but Amy made sure that we had some time to ourselves to have a selection of foods from cocktail hour before we joined our family and friends. Amy and Ivonne were so kind and generous with their time and effort to make the evening perfect, and were always there when I needed something. Even when I didn’t reach out, they checked in to make sure I had everything I needed and wanted throughout the night. If you can, definitely request them to be part of your day. I have no doubts they will not let you down. Amy and the staff made sure to grab everything at the end of the night and packed it all up for us. We came back the next day to pick up all our things and they also put together our cake and any leftovers, so there was limited waste. We really appreciated that on top of everything else. We received such kind words from our guests about the night, the yummy food, and great service from the staff. While we don’t miss the wedding planning stress, we do miss the wonderful staff and the perfect evening that was our wedding night!

rofessionalism and the attention to detail from the staff. The venue itself is just beautiful, from the grounds to the ballroom. If food is something that's important to you, then Nanina's is the way to go. Our guests are still raving about the food. The staff was incredible and accommodated everything we asked for. Amy was our maitre' d and from the minute we arrived, she was by our side the entire night, along with Giselle my bridal attendant. They helped make our reception so special and memorable. We were very lucky with the timing of our wedding that most of our guests were fully vaccinated, but the staff managed to keep everyone safe, yet still allowing people the freedom to enjoy themselves. 100% recommend this venue and wish I could do it all over again!

’t have to worry about a thing (even during Covid). Two months later everyone is still talking about how amazing it was! I can’t wait to go back! Thank you for giving us the wedding of our dreams!

her venues we visited, he helped us find a church to get married at rather than push having it at their venue. This was the only venue out of 5 that offered help with that. Whenever we called with a question he answered immediately and explained things thoroughly. He was even there on the wedding day to make sure everything we booked through him was in place. Vikki was the coordinator we worked with a few weeks prior to our wedding. Every request we had, she made it happen. The night of the wedding she was or right hand man and couldn’t do enough for us. Liz stepped in to help at any chance she had, whether it was decorating the venue tha day or helping us find a restaurant for the rehearsal dinner. We haven’t stopped getting calls from family and friends about the attentiveness of Nanina’s waiters and waitresses. If I could give this venue 100 stars I would, they treat not only the bride and groom like royalty, but everyone who is a part of that special day. They exceeded every single expectation we had that day.

wedding flowed so seamlessly and effortlessly thanks to Syrus and our wonderful bridal assistants. The food is beyond outstanding and the guests are still talking about it over a week later. All of the staff made sure that my husband and I got to try all of the food by setting us up private stations for cocktail hour and during the viennese hour. We even got lucky and had the cherry blossoms bloom just in time surrounding their property, which made our photos extra special! I couldn’t imagine having our wedding at another venue and I highly recommend considering them for your wedding venue!

e. From the booking process to our departure on wedding night, Nanina's made our experience 5 stars. Most venues can ensure the bride and groom will have a great experience; Nanina's ensures every guest receives the highest level of service. During the booking process, Julian worked with us to ensure we had the wedding we desired. He communicated pricing, menu options, and timelines with exception detail and transparency. As with most things in life, budgets matter and Julian provided a detailed spreadsheet for us to plan for the cost of our big day. The transparency on pricing and cost was truly appreciated and made our budgeting/planning much easier. After our meeting, we decided to book a Saturday night in January. The food at Nanina's is unbelievable!!! As someone who loves the cocktail hour more than the reception dinner, Nanina's cocktail hour did not disappoint. There is an abundance of offerings (all of which come included) and are absolutely delicious. Your guest will rave about the mac n cheese bar, martini bar with ice sculpture, and multiple other delicious offerings. The cocktail hour is such a great experience where your guest will truly be wowed by the luxury and service of Nanina's. Another great gesture from Nanina's: they allowed us to stop by the following morning and sent us home with trays of food from the cocktail hour, allowing us to enjoy the flavors of our wedding day all over again. The service! We cannot put into words how amazing the service at Nanina's is. Your guest will be amazed by the quality of service at Nanina's. Each table is assigned two servers. They will ensure your guest constantly have their choice of beverage and will keep them from waiting in line at the bar. As a bride and groom, we were absolutely delighted with the service provided by our Maitre'D Vicky and bridal assistant Martha. From the moment we arrived off the limo bus, until we stepped back on the hotel shuttle, we had constant attention. Upon arrival, our bridal attendant Martha, escorted us to our bridal suite and immediately provided my wife with her cocktail hour craving (lobster mac n cheese). Our entire bridal party was instantly given their beverage of choice prior to the start of pictures at the venue. After pictures, Vicky brought us back to the bridal suite to enjoy every single food option served during the cocktail hour. One of the best experiences of our wedding day was just having 25 minutes alone together in the bridal suite to sit, relax, and enjoy the delicious food options. Upon our return to the bridal suite, the staff set a table, had each of our signature cocktails waiting and allowed us to enjoy some alone time together. Vicky even wrapped my dress/me in a tablecloth and changed my shoes. During the cocktail hour, was bustling my dress while I was making rounds to greet the guest. Again, the service is unmatched. It's the little things that set service apart and Nanina's has truly thought about every small element of a wedding day (even if you didn't). While we danced, greeted guest, and enjoyed our reception, our drinks were constantly filled and replaced. Our guest were constantly amazed by the service they received and this is the standard at Nanina's.

t have asked for anyone better to run point the day of our wedding. She’s absolutely brilliant. We are so grateful for the team at Nanina’s for making our day so special. Everything was so seamless, the food was spectacular (our wedding was 4 months ago and people are STILL raving about it!). We would absolutely recommend the venue (or any of the sister venues) for a wedding day or special event. We definitely plan on coming back for a vow renewal years from now! Thank you all for your amazing service and for making our day so perfect!

h turned out stunning. We booked here about 13 months in advance and unfortunately the majority of this time frame was during the pandemic which brought many uncertainties into the wedding planning process. Julian was diligent in answering every question I had and continued to keep me updated with the ever changing guidelines. He made sure that everything was perfect given the last minute hiccups of a damaged outdoor tent due to a winter storm and a new curfew guideline just 7 days before my wedding day. Regardless, I had a perfect wedding at Naninas! Gisele and Cyrus were incredible the day-of. They made sure everything ran smoothly, that we were fed, and even assisted with fluffing my veil for photos and my repairing the clasp on my dress moments before entering the reception! Getting married during a pandemic is unbelievably stressful but Nanina’s did everything they could to make our day feel so normal and special while also being safe for our guests. Thank you Nanina’s in the Park!

athtaking during Christmas, and the decorations make everything so magical. The food was top notch—my family and friends are still telling me how it was the best wedding that they have ever been to. Vicky went above and beyond the entire night and treated me and my husband like true royalty. Martha was also simply amazing and attended to our every need! Steve answered all our questions immediately and was always so reassuring! I wish we could do the night all over again!

yed in touch with me. When Covid hit they did whatever they could to accommodate my fiancé and I and continued to answer all my questions as well even when they were closed. When we visited the venue after they reopened everything was still maintained beautifully which impressed us that they still maintained their property even during a shut down. The staff made sure that I had a perfect wedding despite the stressful circumstances of the pandemic and it was clear as day that they work hard to give each bride a unforgettable experience. Naninas held up to their reputation as one as the top venues because not only was their service unremarkable but the food was probably the best I ever had. My guests have been calling me about how amazing all the food was and how much food they give. The cocktail hour and dessert display is something like no other and every single station was better than the last. The entree selection and quality was also amazing. My bridal attendant helped me throughout the entire party and was literally by my side making sure I didn’t have a single issue the entire night. Getting married during a pandemic is very stressful but naninas truly took all the weight off my shoulders the second I entered their venue. I will never forget the experience I had with them and I am forever grateful for the staff at Nanina’s. I would recommend this venue to any couple looking for an unforgettable experience. Thank you for giving us our dream wedding and for not only making it happen , but making it FLAWLESS.

arms. It literally felt like we have been there before. It was a warming welcome! The venue just took my breathe away & I immediately could envision us on our wedding day. The staff worked so well with my husband and I. Having such a wonderful maître d to work with was a breathe of fresh air. I could definitely say I was a covid bride. The anxiety and stress from covid was already enough and planning a wedding on top of it was the icing on the cake. The staff and owner was always on our side during this unforeseen difficult time. They were always at reach and always gave encouragement and never would let us just be in the dark. We were always so understanding and so were they. I am so happy we got married on our original date! Three weeks later and we still have people complimenting how great the food was!! My bridal attendant was AWESOME! I mean she made me laugh and basically took great care of me. Overall, they handled the pandemic very well. I was worried all the time, however, they were always positive and I loved that. Great communication between everyone we worked with. I cannot wait until I can go back there. It’s a wonderful venue and we highly recommend!

ry and few people left sober. Lol From the start, Julian and Syrus had been patient, professional, and thorough with the process. We know they deal with several couples at the same time (that I’m sure had several questions like us) and they handled it all with grace and without a single complaint. They always made us feel special and always made time for us. We never felt like we were forgotten about or like we were just another number, that is how perfectly they treat their couples and it doesn’t go unnoticed! It takes special people to work in the wedding business. You have to deal with other people’s stresses that are complete strangers, and put your own feelings to the side for the sake of the couple. For that, we can’t thank them enough! I know I’ve said a lot but somehow I feel there aren’t enough words to express how thrilled we are to have had our wedding at Nanina’s! We can’t wait to come back as guests! My friend’s parents got married at Nanina’s 20+ years ago and they still talk about how amazing their day was...and I know my husband and I will do the same for years to come. It was truly an unforgettable day! ❤️

me if I needed anything. She helped me pack up all my belongings. Answered any questions I had. I can’t rave enough about how much of a queen I felt like. Syrus, the maître d’ from my final run through to the night of my wedding was phenomenal. He went out of his way to help us and make sure we were 100% satisfied. He kept everything running smoothly. THE FOOD. If quality food is on the top of your “venue must haves list” then look no further. I had people coming up to me all night raving about the cocktail hour food, their dinner and the Viennese hour. A lot of guests had to take their meals home because cocktail hour provided so much great food! I can’t say enough positive things about the food!!! The grounds & ballroom- even for being married in February, the photos I’ve seen so far on their grounds and in their new ballroom are just top notch. The lighting and brightness is just incredible. Couldn’t of imagined anything better!

evening, was there every step of the way. Every time I turned around, she was there with exactly what I needed! She even scrambled to find me a pair of flip flops that past brides have left behind because she was worried about me dancing barefoot! Having a Friday wedding, we had the place to ourselves all day and were able to get ready there. The guys had a man cave with a TV and couch, and the girls had a beautiful room upstairs, perfect for hair and makeup. There is not one single thing I could say bad a bout our wedding. Liz made sure that we left with everything we came with (she told us to go back to the hotel, relax, and come back in the morning to pick it up and not to rush). Julian was so great with answering my countless emails and making sure every detail was perfect. Cyrus was great at making sure our bridal party knew what to do and when to be where. We really could not have asked for a more beautiful wedding. We had so much more fun than we thought we would have and gosh, the venue makes for the perfect place for photos!

ute changes they made sure it was done. We didn't have to worry about a single thing the day of our wedding. We were able to just enjoy ourselves. The guest were able to enjoy themselves and they raved about the service they received. The food, the presentation, the variety, the quantity, and the quality was fantastic. Highly recommend for any event you're planning.

hey are doing. You can read pages and pages of positive reviews and still have hints of doubt about the unknown of what to expect, but my expectations exponentially exceeded. My family is filled with judgmental foodies, the hardest critic of all being my father who is a classically French cuisine-trained elderly Chinese man. My dad, in addition to all of my guests, raved about the food. From cocktail hour to Viennese hour, Nanina's did not skip a beat. I genuinely loved and appreciated having a moment with my husband immediately after the ceremony finished in the bridal suite with our own cocktail hour set up! It was precious to have those moments alone while also getting to try all of the food privately without having to simultaneously mingle with our guests. Martha was hands-down an angel sent from above! She was the bridal and groom attendant who was so on top of our needs. She not only tended to me to make sure I was happy at all times, but she was quick to assist a bridesmaid with her dress. Martha has seen it all and has a solution for everything! There was one point I turned around on the dance floor and Martha was bringing me a cup of water ensuring that I stay hydrated! I need a Martha everyday! Alvaro was our Maitre D who expertly made sure our event ran as smooth and seamless as possible. I cannot reiterate it enough just how much everyone at Nanina's knows what they are doing. My night ran flawlessly. All the staff were so on top of filling waters to clearing plates. All my guests felt like royalty with the service they were treated to! If there's any future couple reading this review, please invite me to your wedding at Nanina's! My only regret is not being a guest at my own wedding! Julian, Steve, Liz, Martha, Alvaro, Joe Maurillo (whom I never met but I also owe many thanks to) and Nanina's Staff- there are no words to express my gratitude, but thank you endlessly.

were offering in a clear and concise manner that made it easy for us to see exactly what we were getting. We left with two jars of Nanina’s famous sauce and our wedding venue booked! Steve was so easy to work with and helped us with all of our questions! They were able to set up an impromptu tasting that worked with our schedule since we live out of state. Our bridal attendant Giselle was so attentive, helpful, and listened to everything we requested! I had laryngitis the week of my wedding so requested a cup of lemon tea, and my cup was never empty, she had me filled with lemon tea all night! Vicky was so helpful during our final meeting and was the point of contact for anything we needed out of Giselle’s reach on the wedding day. Our family and friends are still bragging about how amazing the wedding was! The food, the staff, and of course the venue itself was the best in the business. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to start our happily ever after!

when I walked in. From start to finish, the staff at Nanina’s went above and beyond to make sure our day was special. We had our wedding on a Friday and had the venue to ourselves the entire day. My girls, my mom, niece and myself got ready there in the morning and the morning attendant, Myriam was great. They also served us breakfast (donuts, fruit, baked goods) and lunch (pasta and wraps), which were delicious. Cyrus was our Maitre D and was phenomenal. Martha, my PM attendant was amazing! She made sure everything went perfect for me and always had my signature drink ready for me. She did everything and more. Our wedding was November 29, 2019 and people are STILL texting me with how amazing everything was. People can’t stop talking about food because it was that fabulous. We also did jars of sauce as our favors through Nanina's, so our guests went home with delicious sauce! Nanina’s was also set up for the holidays and it made everything more special. We booked with Vinnie and I keep saying that booking with him at Nanina’s was the best decision we ever made.

r hyped. To start with, we arrive at the venue and are asked to step into a waiting area by the ceremony site. Once in the waiting area, the bride sends a family member of hers over to us and said how she didn’t want us there and we need to move..but once we walked back toward the entrance, the staff wanted us to go back to the waiting area. We were left in limbo until it became closer to the ceremony time. Then the ceremony space opens and a waiter says how’s there’s champagne to be bad but once we got it and walked back to our seats, the same waiter came back to everyone and took their glasses away because they didn’t want drinks outside.... The ceremony then starts and the entire sound system was crackling and screaming so everyone was paying attention to that over the actual wedding.... We go into the cocktail hour which is poorly set up mind you and they failed to mention to anyone that there was food on both the top floor and bottom. They also were late with finishing set up for the dinner space and had us all waiting in the cocktail hour from 6-8!! Who does that?? Food was ehh. Nothing compared to the Westmount Country Club! The actual room we were in for the wedding was actually nice however the bar tending area was really bland. Nothing fancy about it, just placed in the corner and the bartenders were super slow paced. You’d see a huge line and then no one was dancing because they were waiting for drinks. Very award and confusing the whole night. I know that as a former bride myself, I wouldn’t have wanted my guests to deal with all of that instead of have a good decent time at my wedding so I wanted to warn future brides thinking of going here. I didn’t even get married at this venue but it was bad enough for me to go out of my way and say something.

can’t stop talking about the food! Two special shout outs. Julian was so great to work with. From the start he went above and beyond and because of that every little detail was perfect and all we’ve heard from our guests is glowing reviews. He checked on us multiple times throughout the day and even helped us pack our car after the wedding was over. And to Giselle, Our day-of coordinator, who is just beyond amazing! She steamed my dress, got me food when I was hungry, carried my train and bouquet all around as we took pictures in the freezing cold and even sewed my dress when I ripped it. Thank you, thank you, thank you! We wish we could do it all over again! - The Guzman's

room at Nanina's and held off on signing the contract. We made an appointment to tour Nanina's for the following day.  Upon arrival, we were met by Liz who is one of the nicest people that you will ever meet. She led us downstairs to meet with Vinny regarding dates and details.  Long story short, Vinny was welcoming, receptive to our needs, and went above and beyond for us, making it difficult to want any other venue than Nanina's.  We knew right away that this would be the best place for our wedding reception and signed the same day. We were also excited to be one of the first weddings held in the new ballroom.   Fast forward a few weeks and we were able to attend the food tasting with our immediate families in the "old ballroom" for the last time. The food was second to none and we knew it would be difficult to pick a few dishes since they are all amazing.  As our wedding date was within striking distance, we met with Vicki to begin finalizing the specifics of the big day, seating arrangements, final numbers, and other pre-wedding arrangements. While we were there, we saw the finished ballroom and were blown away at how beautiful it looked. The staff at Nanina's worked with us up until and even after the wedding and made sure we had the best day ever, which is a cliche for weddings, but ours was in fact, the best day ever.  During the wedding, our maitre'd, Alvaro and bridal assistant, Sally made sure everything went according to plan.  Our guests are still raving about the food, decor, and wedding in general. From cocktail hour to venetian hour and everything in between, there was something for everyone to enjoy (and they did!). We would recommend Nanina's in the highest regard to anyone looking to book a wedding, or any event for that matter. We can't wait to go back for our next event!

dal party’s needs! So organized, so professional, so beautiful! Words cannot describe what an amazing experience my husband and I had. The food!! The drinks!! Omg we couldn’t get enough! We danced, loved, and party all day and the whole time my bridal asst and matradee were on point! They organized everything with such detail. I highly recommend this venue if you are truly looking for that Romantic, classy, top notch, Elaborately decorated venue! It was so memorable I can get married there over and over again.

pen, but when someone forgot their dress pants, Giselle was right there with an extra pair! Talk about saving the day!!! She was super calm which made me feel at ease and relaxed. I can't than her enough for everything that she did for me! Syrus was my Maitre'd, and he made sure that everything went as planned! He is amazing! Nanina's in the Park is beyond beautiful! I wish I could do it all over again! thank you so soo much!

vice days, and weeks after the wedding!! We couldn’t have imagined a more perfect day!! Thank you!!!

d she was so incredibly helpful. She made sure that I had everything that I needed even before I knew I needed it. She even was able to help fix my dress when I had an issue with my sleeve breaking. It is the most gorgeous venue I have been to and the food was incredible. All of our guests raved about how good the food was and how it was the best wedding they have been to. I highly suggest going to Nanina's in the Park if you are looking for a gorgeous venue in New Jersey.

he course of the evening. We discovered Nanina’s because we had been wowed while attending friends’ weddings and a fundraiser on their beautiful grounds and have friends who have had wonderful experiences there. From the beginning of the planning process, Vicky considered our priorities. She listened and gave suggestions and advice. She projected confidence and familiarity with receptions such as ours. She continually told us to trust her and her staff’s magic and never gave us any reason to doubt her. She and they did not disappoint. Vicky was always a phone call away. Our conversations with her in-person in her office or over the phone were always friendly, informative and efficient. She valued our time and knew when we wanted fast, quick answers or a more in-depth conversation. Our questions, no matter how small, were always answered thoroughly. She explained things clearly if we were confused and helped us plan aspects of the reception we had not even considered. Her suggestions were truly the best. Throughout our months of interactions, Vicky would reply to phone messages within minutes. Vicky made our payments convenient for us. She accommodated us in every way. Our cocktail hour and food station expectations were met and she even secured some of our favorite brands of alcohol. The food’s quality and presentation are consistent. From our tasting to other events we have attended at Nanina’s, we continually leave stuffed and raving about the selection and taste of the food. Our guests barely ate our delicious Romeo and Juliet chateaubriand and shrimp Nanina’s entrée because they were full from the extravagant cocktail hour. When we delivered our decorations, place cards, etc. the day prior, Vicky received us with an efficient system and we knew that she would set up everything, decorate, and even decorate our cake with flowers the way we wanted. When we arrived in the ballroom for our reception, our guests and we were blown away. Martha, our bridal attendant, met our every need. We had drinks in our hand the entire evening. She regularly and unobtrusively asked us what we needed and knew where we needed to be at all times. She knew how to manage Lauren’s long dress to keep it present for photos but out of the way. Even towards the end of the night, Martha brought ice to soothe Lauren’s feet! Both of us wished we had Vicky and Martha in our lives everyday since they truly made us feel like royalty throughout that special day. Our dance floor was packed the entire evening. Our guests are still raving about how amazing the night was and how much fun they had. Young and old left satisfied. Choose to have your wedding at the best reception hall in New Jersey, Nanina’s in the Park.

ately clean, and most people were lovely to work with. The food is abundant and amazing. I love that they only have one package, so there's no confusion and everything financial-wise is very cut and dry. There are no surprise fees etc. when working with this venue. I do have one complaint however. From the time we booked the wedding up until the final day, we were shuffled around from person to person one meeting to the next, and we found it a bit strange. First Julian, then Vicky, then Cyrus, then another person at the front desk, then brand new people (bridal attendants) the day of. This made me uneasy as a bride and unfortunately a few things were not executed to my vision, despite lots of notes and instruction - there were just too many hands in the pot. It would've been nice to have ONE contact person at the venue who I could share my details with and not have to worry about those details getting lost and muddled. That all being said I have no regrets about choosing Nanina's for our venue. We had an amazing day overall that we will remember and cherish forever.

venue for our wedding. Naninas was the best decision ever! Throughout our entire wedding planning process Julian was amazing to work with. He answered every call and every email with all of our questions. He was always so pleasant and happy when speaking with us. Julian, Vicky, and Martha truly made our wedding day beyond perfect. It was everything we dreamed of and more. When our party bus arrived Martha and Vicky were there to greet us. Julian then checked in on us and made sure everything was what we wanted. They all did everything to make our evening so much fun. To this day our guests are still talking about our wedding saying it was the best they have ever been to. All of our guests raved about the food, desserts, and the stunning ballroom. THANK YOU so much to the entire Naninas in the Park staff. You are all so amazing and we appreciate everything you did to make our wedding such a fairytale dream come true day! We are filled with such love and happiness when we look back at our wedding day. Naninas in the Park will always hold such a special place in our hearts! We loved everything about our wedding reception and we did not want the night to end! Thank you so much!

this venue was absolutely perfect. I only pray I get to attend more weddings here as a guest so I can experience it all over again. Top notch service here everyone who works there makes you feel like family. Nothing but amazing things to say about Nanina’s.

ing was Perfect and organized! Our matre d Cyrus and bridal attendants myra and martha were super helpful throughout our wedding day/night. We couldn’t have pictured our wedding to be any better then it was!

rything was a dream come true. The venue was recently renovated and it looks even more beautiful than it previously did. The food is delicious, fresh, and the best I’ve had at a wedding. The guests are still talking about how delicious the food was and how great was the staff. We also met two of the owners & they were very nice and welcoming. I’m extremely happy with how will my wedding went. Thank you Naninas.

r was endless, dinner was amazing and desert, everyone is still raving about it! From the day we booked our wedding, to almost 1.5 years later, our wedding arrived and the staff at Nanina's was nothing but wonderful. I was able to stop in at any time to see the construction progress. Liz was amazing, so helpful and always there when you needed her! Martha was my bridal attendant, she was literally with me from getting me off the party bus, to me leaving at the end of the night to get back on the shuttle. She never left my side! Lastly, Cyrus was our Maitre'D, he was amazing! He asked us every few minutes, what we needed, what drink we wanted, what food we wanted. All i can say is I wish I had eaten more! The food was so fresh. It's amazing to hear your guests love the wedding so much! I will hope to go back to Nanina's for future events, amazing staff! Wish you all the best with the new ballroom!

cause of Vicky and her team! Thank you a million times, all of our friends and family are still raving "Best wedding we've ever been to!"

olutely amazing. They go above and beyond for their weddings. Our guests cannot stop raving about how amazing our wedding was. I did not want for anything while at Naninas. Truly an exceptional venue.

od!! People are still talking about how amazing the food was. Wish we could do it again at Naninas!

helped with our finals and Liz at the front desk, everything was absolutely amazing. On the day of the wedding, everything ran so smooth! One of our pictures for the memory table was misplaced and Cyrus made sure to get it reprinted for us on photo paper and have it framed before the cocktail guests arrived. Marta, our bridal attendant, was amazing. She even helped get a stain off my dress after my husband spilled a little buffalo mac and cheese during our private cocktail hour. We were even brought a plate of everything being served to enjoy for a few moments alone before we headed down to join everyone else for cocktail hour which was an amazing touch! Right before I was about to walk into the room for the main entrance, Marta was on her hands and knees adding another pinned bustle to my dress so that it looked more even (she was incredible)! Two weeks later, we are still hearing from friends and family reaching out about how incredibly amazing our wedding was. Our DJ (from NY) who has been to multiple venues all over the tri-state area commented that he has never seen anything like our wedding at Nanina's. We cannot thank you enough for making our dream wedding come true. We hope some of our friends get married here in the future so we can be guests!! Love the San Felippo's

lowing smoothly and every guest was taken care of. Cooperation between the photography staff and the Nanina's staff could not have been better. Wedding Ceremony was outside in the garden and even though it was November and 40 degrees that day, everything went great! Cocktail hour was the finest I have ever seen in terms of service, variety of hot and cold dishes (including a raw bar) and the reaction from the many guests in attendance. The Reception was nothing short of outstanding. The Nanina staff ensured that everything ran smoothly and flawlessly. Guest had choices of excellently prepared entrées and all the guests commented on how great the food was. Music, dancing and all the wedding activities went as planned! Of course, the other exclusive thing is that Nanina's only does ONE wedding at a time! So you don't have bridal parties crashing into each other on their "special day". Yes, this place is expensive, but when you consider what you are getting: top service; excellent cocktail hour and wedding food; a very well run and well staffed wedding event and the fact that Nanina's will make your wedding a hit and something to truly remember - it is definitely worth it!

w gets it. From our first visit with Julian we were immediately treated like family members, he patiently answered all of our questions and never pressured us. Once we booked the rest was easy. They have numerous high quality recommended vendors which made most of our other hiring decisions very easy as well. The grounds are extremely well kept and you have the entire venue to yourself on your wedding day. The food is outstanding in taste and amount and I'm still learning about cocktail hour stations that I missed. Every employee is accommodating over the phone and in person and are happy to meet almost any request. They made sure that the bars would be stocked with BudLight for my Groom, allowed my in-laws to have their home-made wine served during the cocktail hour, and encouraged my dad to have a cigar station set-up outside. My bridal attendant Marta made sure I was never without a drink, that my dress was always off the ground, and that my wedding-Uggs were on my feet as soon as my heels became uncomfortable. She was always one step ahead of me. Our day-of coordinator Vicki went so far above and beyond that she deserves a 5-star review of her own. Between fielding my mother's phone calls the week leading up to the wedding, to coaching our best man on how to properly handle the garter he caught, to actually driving my father-in-law back to our hotel at the end of the night when he missed the last shuttle home, there is literally nothing she won't do to make sure your wedding day is perfect. My expectations and the expectations of our guests were so far exceeded that the only regret is that we can't do it all over again (thankfully we still have some leftovers in our freezer). HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

amazing, especially the macaroni and cheese bar! I highly recommend Nanina’s in the Park for any event! Thank you for making our wedding the best day of our lives!

taff. A few months later, we are still receiving compliments from our guests saying our wedding was the best wedding they have ever been to, and we even received a thank you card from a guest for hosting such an impeccable event where attention to detail was very apparent – this is all because of Nanina’s. Every person we spoke to and worked with at Nanina’s provided us with a level of comfort that is inexplainable and they helped plan our wedding as if it was their own. On our wedding day, Vicky and Marta were by me and my husband’s side every step of the way. Before we could even ask for something, Vicky and/or Marta was already there to help – it was as if they read our minds. There were so many things that each of them did throughout the night to make sure there wasn’t one thing for us to worry about, even things as little as putting my flats under the table I was sitting at so that I could quickly change and not miss a beat during the reception. Right after the ceremony, Vicky led me and my husband back up to the bridal suite to take in the moment. When we got there, the table was filled with an assortment of food from the cocktail hour. I really appreciated this because it gave us a chance to spend a few minutes alone after being married and to eat, something we probably wouldn’t have done if we went directly into the cocktail hour. By the end of the night, Vicky and Marta felt like family! The grounds and the interior of Nanina’s are beautiful and it didn’t even phase us when the rain resulted in a change of plans for our ceremony. We knew Nanina’s would make the ballroom look beautiful for the ceremony and quickly set up the ballroom for the reception and they didn’t disappoint. The food was above and beyond anything we could have imagined and the service was out of this world. We can’t wait to get invited to a wedding at Nanina’s!!

evening a fairytale! Martha even helped me pull off ICING Chris during the garter!!!!! Everyone has been raving about our cocktail hour... and that was my number one request for my wedding! We wanted to leave an impression on our friends and family, and I think we accomplished it! I can't thank Nanina's enough for bringing my vision to life. The food, the people, the accomodations the day of! It was all amazing! Thank you all for making this the best day of my life! PS: Can I still stop by for some sauce and a cocktail?!

a hitch because her. Martha our bridal attendant was also fantastic and made sure we had everything we needed. I could not have asked for a better day. Having our wedding at Nanina's was the best decision we could have ever made.

om the beginning of the planning process to the end, everyone was wonderful and every question that I had was answered quickly and efficiently. We worked with Rich and I will honestly say he was one of the reasons that my wedding was so great. He helped me with every stage of planning for over a year and a half and I cannot thank him enough. It has only been a week since my wedding day and every day I have gotten compliments about how amazing the food was or how beautiful everything was. If you are looking for a venue that does it all, Nanina's is the place!

med us. Not only did he give us a wonderful tour, he even invited us for a food tasting the very next day. At this point we haven't even decided to book yet! The food was absolutely delicious and we were sold. All the guests at the party kept telling us how amazing the food was. They were blown away not only by how delectable the food was but how much! From the roasted pork to the lobster mac & cheese .. then the eggplant parm to the steak with vegetable medley on a stick.. and don't book without the Venetian hour, the creme brulee is out of this world. All of the workers the day of my wedding were amazing as well. My maitre d Vicki was a god send. Not only did she bustle my wedding dress the right way, she made sure my wedding went by smoothly and stress-free. I don't know what I would've done without her. My wedding dress was all over the place but Vicki managed to pull out a million safety pins and fix it in a jiffy. VICKI IS THE BEST!! Marta also helped me all night, making sure I okay and drinking water and eating! Nanina's in the Park is the best, GO BOOK NOW :)

Almost four months later, we still have guests telling us all the time about how our wedding was amazing! The cocktail hour is literally the best around. Our ceremony was inside the ballroom and stunning. Our outdoor pictures came out amazing, even without the flowers the grounds were beautiful and well kept. We worked with julian who was very helpful and patient with us along every step of the way. The bridal attendants and maitre d were on top of everything. Anytime we needed anything, they were there in a blink of an eye. My bridesmaids and I arrived very early that morning and got ready in the bridal suite. Thanks to sally, I didn't have to worry about a thing. She made sure we were on schedule. I can go on an on. We hope to be a guest of a wedding there very soon, especially for the cocktail hour. Thank you Julian, Sally, and the rest of the naninas staff. Thank you, Thank You, Thank you. Naninas is the best!

very attentive to us and to our families the whole night. The food was absolutely outstanding and so many of our guests said it was the best wedding they had ever been to. The only thing I thought was a little unprofessional was that everyone we spoke to there (Rich, Julian, Peter, etc) kept calling the maitre’d tip a “maitre’d fee”, and calculated out what you should tip them before services were even given. What they were verbally referring to it as (“fee”) was different than what it was written as in the contract (“tip”), which made you feel like you were required to pay the amount that they calculated. I am a firm believer in the fact that tips are given based on service, and you really can’t predict how that will go before you’ve been serviced. They ended up doing a great job, but like I said, you can’t predict that in advance. Also, the amount they gave us was calculated as 5% of the total cost, but in that total cost was also a service charge for the wait staff, so the maitre’d “fee” (tip) was on top of a pre-existing service charge meant for the wait staff, which I also don’t agree with. They shouldn’t be getting tipped on someone else’s tip. That part sort of felt like they were trying to get one over on us, and when I asked Peter about it I kind of felt pressured to pay the amount they told us because he made a point to tell me that they’ve “never had anyone not pay it”. I know that at the end of the day, it’s a business, but the people paying for services shouldn’t FEEL like it’s just a business. With that being said, the food was incredible, service was great, and the venue itself was beautiful. Tons of food. All of our guests said it was the best wedding they’d ever been to. I still would recommend the place overall, just be wary of what they calculate for tips!

ire team are absolute professionals and provide unmatched service making you feel like the most important bride and groom around. My guests can not stop raving about the never ending cocktail hour food selection and the impeccable service and atmosphere. My husband and I had our wedding this past weekend on 2/9/18. Every one of my dreams came true that night at Nanina's. Syrus, Julian and their team worked so unbelievably hard to make sure every part of our night was smooth and effortless. We danced from the moment we walked in to the last minute. The staff made sure all of my small details that I worked so hard on were displayed in the best fashion and they accommodated our guests to the fullest. I am blown away by this venues outstanding support for their bride and groom couples and I am wishing and hoping that a friend gets married here soon so we can re-live our day and enjoy it all over again. Thank you all for such an amazing experience that we will remember always.

of, with Syrus and Martha as our groom and bridal attendants, everything was incredible. Every time we turned around they helped us with every step of the day. The food was fantastic, they made sure we ate the day of. The place was decorated exactly as we requested. Our guests were treated with such courtesy and respect, and so were we. It was nothing short, but a fairytale.
