The grand historical estate, Nanina’s In The Park, is a wedding venue nestled within a woodland forest in Belleville, NJ. The estate is home to scenic vantage points, lavish gardens, and architecture inspired by Tuscany. With 50 years of catering tradition and multi-million-dollar renovations, the estate is sure to leave you and your guests in awe.
The idea to transform the 360-acre forest surrounding the Tuscany estate was originally envisioned by Frederick Law Olmsted in 1867. Moving forward, the vision was developed and brought to life by the Olmsted Brothers firm. Their scenic designs can also be seen in New York’s Central Park. While constructing the park, the Olmsted Brothers embellished the narrow stream valley with vibrant cherry trees. The breathtaking design was inspired by the vibrant valleys of Japan, filled with cherry blossoms during the spring.
The combination of the Tuscan Villa and lush outdoor garden will lend your celebration a timeless and picturesque atmosphere. The vast greenery spanning across the grounds offers endless breathtaking backdrops to relish during your wedding day. Before walking down the aisle, get ready in a private suite fashioned Victorian sofas and a balcony, perfect for a pre-ceremony photo shoot. While exchanging vows under the vine arbor, enjoy the ambiance of gurgling streams and flowers blowing in the wind. Inside the extravagant villa, high ceilings held by grand pillars and fireplaces inspired by neoclassical architecture create a sense of refined majesty. The multi-level estate is adorned with crystal chandeliers and regal masterpieces. Leading to the ballroom is a marvelous marble staircase with intricate black fencing. Within the grand ballroom, enjoy a grand feast with your guests while you and your partner sit at the focal point of the room. Beneath the shimmering chandeliers, share a night of bliss dancing into the night on the reflective marble floor.
Nanina’s In The Park is pleased to offer an assortment of wedding packages and exceptional experiences to celebrate your exciting day. Consider booking a horse and carriage ride after the ceremony and enjoy a canter through the park while taking photos. For the reception and cocktail hour, Nanina’s In The Park offers top-rated cuisine and caters to a variety of options ranging from tradition to over the top. The expansive menu gives couples the choice of experiencing fine delights such as hot seafood, a cheese display, a crepe station, gelato, and more. In addition, the venue can add features such as a photo booth, specialty LED lighting, or a projector to enhance your wedding celebration.

I recently had my wedding at naninas on 3/15 and it was the best night of my life! Every single aspect of that week and night was executed perfectly because of the professionalism and communication amongst the entire staff. They truly provide the best service ever.
From our first meeting with Julian to executing on the big day with Vicky and my bridal attendant Martha, I could not have been in better hands. Each of them were extremely attentive to myself and to all of my guests!
The food and drinks were 10/10 and the venue was breathtakingly decorated. Each one of our guests complimented the food throughout the night and texted us afterwards too, raving about cocktail hour specifically! You cannot go wrong any of the options they offer. The venue is stunning as is, but with the vendors Nanina's recommended, it took it to the next level. Can't say enough good things about this place, i fully recommend!

We are still in awe of how perfect our wedding day was! We never had a single doubt that it would be amazing, but experiencing it firsthand exceeded every expectation we had. From the moment we walked in, we were treated like royalty. Every detail was flawless, and the atmosphere was pure magic.
Our guests have not stopped raving about the incredible food, stunning venue, and exceptional service. A special shoutout to Jason, Rob, Maria, Dona, Sally, Julian, and Liz—each of them went above and beyond to make sure we felt taken care of every step of the way. Their attentiveness and kindness truly made our night unforgettable. We will always feel grateful and honored to be a Nanina’s in the Park couple.

Wow I cannot say enough amazing things about Nanina’s!!! I got married here on 1/5/25 and it was truly the best day of our lives. From our first visit 2 years ago to book they made us feel so special every time we came to the venue. Julian was our main contact and was amazing - so attentive and helpful throughout the entire process. Liz also was so helpful every time I would call and come in she would make us feel so welcome - felt like part of the family here. Vicky also helped us and gave us so many amazing ideas - the entire staff is top tier.
The day of our wedding could not have gone any smoother - it was honestly so calm all day - zero stress. They run everything so perfectly that there is truly nothing you need to worry about that day then just enjoying yourself and getting ready to marry the love of your life.
Miriam was my bridal attendant - she was with me from 630 in the morning until 10pm when the wedding was over - she was there for literally everything I needed that day - from holding my dress, helping me use the bathroom and even little things like lipstick touches- truly couldn’t have gotten through the day without her!
Kirby was our Maitre D’ and WOW was he absolutely amazing! They said we would love him and they weren’t wrong! He was so sweet and made sure our day ran so smoothly with no stress.
All of our family and friends are still talking about how it was one of the best weddings they’ve ever been to - from the beautiful venue, amazing food (can’t stress the food enough - SO MUCH FOOD and so good), gorgeous chapel and amazing staff.
If you are looking for the wedding venue of your dreams - look no further!!

From the first time I walked into Nanina’s in the Park, I knew I HAD to get married there. I have been to multiple weddings at Nanina’s and each wedding was truly special and magical!
Our wedding process with Nanina’s was simply seamless! They toon such great care of my husband and I! They also took the time to meet our family to make sure our day was truly something magical.
They truly went above and beyond for all of us! From meeting Julian who helped us so much with just about EVERYTHING to Steve who helped us create the wedding we wanted, we truly could not thank them enough!
There are so many other people at Nanina’s that made our day special as well! From Jason who truly became apart of our family as well as our bridal attendant Sally, words cannot express how wonderful they are !
Nanina’s in the Park is truly a wonderful and magical venue and we could not be happier with EVERYTHING!

When we first saw Nanina's, my husband and I absolutely fell in love and knew that this was where we would have our wedding reception. The communication from the very beginning was wonderful. We were able to use the bridal suites to get ready the morning of the wedding and the bridal attendants were incredible, making sure that everyone was okay periodically! Our maitre'd Vicki was amazing - she took care of everyone so well and really made everything go so smoothly. Vicki and Martha met us on the shuttle and made sure that we were taken care of the minute we arrived back at Nanina's from the church. We could not have asked for a better maitre'd. The food was unbelievable. Our guests could not stop talking about how incredible the food was and the variety of the cocktail hour! They kept finding new stations every time they turned around! Nanina's was also kind enough to not only package up some of the cocktail hour dishes and desserts, but also box the main entree that myself and my husband had not finished. We could not have asked for a better experience at Nanina's!

Where do I even begin! This venue is the epitome of beauty and elegance! We knew the moment we walked through the door that this was where we were getting married. From the second we walked in to tour Naninas to the morning after our wedding, the service and hospitality was next level. Every single person at the venue was an absolute dream to work with. Julian, Steve, and Liz went above and beyond to help with anything we needed, and they made any worry we had completely disappear. The entire planning process was seamless and communication with Naninas was a breeze. One thing that really stood out to us was that every time we stopped by the venue, even unannounced prior to our wedding, they knew exactly who we were and greeted us by name. You can tell that they take pride in quality service and professionalism. Now let’s talk about our wedding day. UNBELIEVABLE! The service, the food, the vibes…incredible. Naninas made us feel like royalty! We both got ready in the bridal suites the morning of the wedding, and our morning bridal attendant Crystal was attentive and kind. Our maitre d’ Vicky and our bridal attendant Marta were everything we could have wanted and more. Talk about a dream team! They were by our side the entire night of our wedding making sure we felt amazing and having the best time. Vicky always made sure I had lipstick on and Marta made sure my hair was perfectly intact. They were so attentive and handled every detail to perfection. If you are lucky to have them as your right hand ladies, you will have the best night or day of your life! We got married in the new chapel and it is outstanding. They out did themselves with this chapel, it is beautiful and grand. Next up the food… OUR GUESTS CANNOT STOP RAVING ABOUT THE FOOD. The cocktail hour, dinner, the Viennese dessert, and the after party had the most delicious and incredible food. Everything was top tier. They even gave us 12 trays of food the morning after our wedding to eat at home. Let’s just say we ate WELL for the next week. Saying Naninas in the Park is a well oiled machine is an understatement. The wedding was flawless and the absolutely best day of our lives. If you have the opportunity to have your wedding here, RUN DON’T WALK. Your wedding will be an absolute dream.

From start to finish, working with Nanina's for my wedding was an absolute dream. This dream was very much brought to life by our maître d', Vicky. She brought our vision to life, and truly went above and beyond to make us feel special and calm throughout the entire night. I truly don't think that we could have had the same wedding we had without Vicky being a major part of it. Nanina's will forever hold such a special place in our hearts - it was the best day ever (I wish I could relive it haha).

I would choose Naninas every time if I had to go back in time. Known for their beautiful grounds, endless and delicious food that people will never stop raving about, and excellent hospitality, there is a reason why Naninas is one of the top rated venues year after year. We were torn between Naninas and their sister venue Park Savoy but Naninas vibe matched better for what we were going for. Julian and Steve were always pleasant to work with and able to make any worry disappear. While Naninas is somewhat on the pricier side of wedding venues in the area you will see that the service you get along with everything else that’s included is worth EVERY SINGLE PENNY! You don’t have to worry about so many small wedding items because Naninas will have them, the venue is gorgeous enough that you don’t have to spend an arm and a leg on decor, and they perform so many weddings that you will not have to worry about a single thing going wrong at your wedding. They truly are a well oiled machine and were able to turnaround the ballroom from a day time wedding in an HOUR! I had DIY’ed a fair amount of decor and Vickie and Liz let me know that some small details might not be able to get done due to time constraints but they were able to not only get it done, but even made it look better than I had planned! They are a well oiled machine and will get the job done. Our Maitre D (Kirby) and Bridal Attendant (Martha) were on a whole different level. From the second we arrived (literally Martha walked me out of the shuttle) we were treated like royalty and they were both always by our sides but still managing the whole wedding at the same time. Martha didn’t let a single hair go untamed or a bead on my dress to be misplaced. Kirby always gave us a heads up on what was next on our agenda and any request was swiftly granted. I truly cannot get over how well we were treated during our entire experience. I could go on for hours about the food. There were so many stations during cocktail hour that all of our guests thought it was the main food for the evening. I wish we had more time to walk around during cocktail hour but we have gotten so many compliments from our guests. The main entrees were just as fantastic as all of the cocktail hour food and they even packed us up around 8 trays of leftover food & dessert the next day. We wanted to choose vendors that work at Naninas often and they all did not disappoint. They are the preferred vendors for a reason!! If you want a wedding that will be talked about for years to come you must choose Naninas !

From the moment I stepped through the doors of Nanina's in the Park, I was captivated by its beauty and elegance. It was an easy decision to choose this venue for my wedding, and I couldn’t be happier with our experience.
Our maître d', Amy, was an absolute gem. She ensured that everything ran seamlessly throughout the day, allowing us to relax and enjoy every moment. Her warm personality also helped me calm my wedding jitters. One of the highlights was when she made sure to pack up a selection of our wedding food so we could enjoy it later—it was such a thoughtful touch that we greatly appreciated!
I also want to give a heartfelt shoutout to Diandra, our evening bridal attendant. She was simply incredible! Diandra went above and beyond in every way. Not only did she help me get dressed and put on my shoes, but she also sewed me back into my dress when a strap broke during cocktail hour before my reception entrance—talk about a lifesaver! Throughout the night, she made sure my husband and I always had a drink in hand and that we were comfortable. Her support and attentiveness made the day so much easier and more enjoyable for us.
Booking with Steve was another fantastic part of our experience. He was friendly and accommodating, making sure we had everything we needed to create the perfect day. Our guests can’t stop raving about how it was the best wedding they’ve ever attended, and the food was a major highlight! Every dish was delicious and beautifully presented, contributing to the overall ambiance of the celebration.
We are incredibly grateful to the entire team at Nanina's in the Park for their exceptional service and dedication. They truly helped us create a magical wedding that we will cherish forever. If you’re considering a venue for your big day, look no further than Nanina's. They made our dream wedding come true!

From the moment we took our very first tour with Julian, to the afternoon we dropped our wedding items and met Jason, (our Maître d'), we knew we were in extremely capable hands. They took care of everything!
Our wedding was on July 21st, 2024. We used the stunning Bridal Suite to get ready. They had another area for the Groom and Groomsman as well. We had our ceremony in the newly built Chapel, our photos around the grounds and the most incredible cocktail hour and reception. Having everything in one location was ideal for us.
The staff knocked it out of the park! The food was delicious and the offerings were abundant. Julian, Jason, Vicky, Cristal (our bridal attendant), and the rest of the team were absolutely incredible! They made our guests feel like family and everyone cannot stop talking about our wedding. We had the absolute best time and highly recommend you check out this venue, you won’t regret it!

From the moment my husband and I toured Nanina’s in the Park, we knew we found our wedding venue. From the outdoor grounds (with a newly built chapel and extended grounds finished right before our May wedding) to the inside elegant decor and ambiance, it was what we were looking for. The details of the outside grounds will immediately catch your eye with their gazebo, fountain, bridge and chapel. Rest assured you will be able to enjoy all of it as it was still close together despite its large grounds. The moment you walk inside and pass the beautiful fountain out front, your eyes are attracted to a glowing white room which will stun you with their dazzling chandelier and grand staircase, which leads up to a cocktail room. Nanina’s also features a second cocktail room inside a library with an old Spanish ambiance that’s opens to the outside grounds. The ballroom features three large chandeliers and your guests are situated around the dance floor and slightly elevated up around the dance floor. The staff is beyond extraordinary. Their attentiveness to your needs and details puts you at ease as you go about the very fast paced day. Jason, our maitre d’, was incredible and catered to us, keeping us on track with timing and moving the schedule around what we wanted and where we were. Diandra and Vicky, our bridal attendants, took extreme care of us. They helped me bustle my dress, change my shoes, and carried a very heavy train all day. They were fantastic and so kind. We used all of their recommended in-house vendors (AW Flowers and Eclipse Events) and everyone knew each other so well and worked great together. Stephen, the sales manager, was incredible and understanding from the start. He was responsive, and always looped someone else in if he was unable to respond. Amy was another professional and easy person to work with. Lastly, the food was OUTSTANDING, top tier and delicious and all the rave for the entire evening. The drinks and the viennese hour were delicious. Our guests from the moment they entered and left had the best time. As did we. We highly recommend any future couples to check Nanina’s in the Park out and book their dream fairytale wedding venue like we did.

Nanina’s In The Park gave my husband and I the best day/night of our lives. From day 1 we dealt with Amy and were lucky enough to have her as our maitre D the day of our wedding…she is an absolute GEM.
Sally was my day time bridal attendant and she was fantastic! From making us our coffee, toasting our breakfast to steaming my pajamas…she was the best!
Martha was my night time bridal attendant and she was an absolute angel. The strap on my dress came loose and Martha worked her magic and fixed it to look better than ever. My husband and I were never without a drink in our hand. Martha was so attentive, we couldn’t have asked for better!
To say Nanina’s is a well oiled machine is an understatement. Everything was flawless!!! The food is incredible, our guests were raving for weeks about how amazing it was. Don’t walk, run to book Nanina’s In the Park for your wedding venue. You won’t regret it!

Getting a date for Nanina’s is definitely a competition. I had booked the venue back in 2022, and I got married on 1/06/2024. After the wedding, I now understand why they are such a popular venue and sought after venue. The planning and leading up to the wedding was a breeze with Nanina’s. They were extremely helpful, not pushy like other venues I spoke to, and very communicative with any questions I had. Before choosing Nanina’s, I had toured and spoke with 9 other venues around Northern/Central NJ. Even after seeing other venues and comparing pricing, my husband and I ultimately decided that Nanina’s was the best venue to book. Their prices and what was given was very reasonable. Stephen, Vicky, and Julian were so incredible helpful!
The night before the wedding and the morning of (before arriving to the venue to get ready) was probably the worst I ever felt. I was sick, stressed, had no sleep, and was dealing with some family drama the night before. I actually arrived at the venue crying, but the first person who greeted me outside in the parking lot was Crystal, one of the bridal attendants. She gave me a hug and reassured me, took care of me, and my girls. She was very attentive, professional, and helpful. Crystal steamed all of our dresses! There were 14 dresses total too (I had dresses and traditional wear for everyone)! She also made sure everyone got their drinks, food, and all the details were hung and ready for the evening. Throughout the day, Nanina’s staff was incredibly kind and understanding. Vicky checked in throughout the day and double-checked any details before the ceremony. She also came up with great suggestions for the ceremony. Also, Vicky made sure my grandfather had food during cocktail & dinner even though he had a very restrictive diet.
When evening came around, Crystal said her goodbyes and Martha became my evening bridal attendant. Martha is superwoman. I have so many wonderful things to say about her. I probably would have been a wreck if it wasn’t for Martha. You can tell she has been in the business for a long time and her expertise shows in her actions. Martha was notified by Crystal about my morning, so she knew all the details before I could tell her anything. She did things BEFORE I could even think of them. She bustled, help me change out of my dresses/shoes, made sure I was hydrated, tried to keep me out the cold (since I was sick), and also made sure my bridesmaids were all good on top of all of that. Throughout the night, she stuck by me even when we did a session with the photographers and whenever I needed to go to the bathroom.
Thank you to all the Nanina’s servers, bartenders, and behind-the-scene staff! All of our guests were raving about the service, all the wonderful food, and how attentive everyone was throughout the night. Thank you, Nanina’s, for being so kind. With the crazy weather and the things that happened at my wedding, I’m so grateful for everyone for helping making our wedding day fun. I hope one day I can attend a Nanina’s event as a guest!
Also, I was lucky enough to have their Christmas decorations up for my wedding!

Where to begin?! Nanina's is truly top notch and a well-oiled machine! From the moment we toured the venue, we fell in love. Not only is the ambiance and venue itself breathtaking, but the staff is welcoming and helpful from the start. We toured with Stephen, who is so genuine and kind. We never felt pressured or sales-pitched to book, which was something we appreciated after touring many venues. They truly want you to have a magical day. Once we booked, the staff was always available to answer questions and adjust whatever we needed (whether I called and spoke to Liz at the front or emailed Stephen or Vicky) as well as throw in so many additions and perks with ease and happiness to do so. On the day of our wedding, 02/10/24, we got ready on site and had the venue to ourselves all day. They served breakfast, lunch and drinks and really made sure myself and all my girls as well as the groom and his guys had everything that was needed to be comfortable throughout the day. Cristal, the morning bridal attendant, was helpful in making sure we had what we needed while setting up the decor I provided. The evening bridal attendant, Martha, was so attentive and made sure I was taken care of all night with whatever I needed...and I mean whatever was needed from using the bathroom to a drink, she was on it! Our maitre d was Vicky, a true gem. She was so prompt and professional all night, running the show with such ease - she truly knows what she is doing! All while making my husband and I feel so comfortable and calm. Now the good stuff...the food. WOW. Not only is there so much of it, but it is all incredibly delicious! The cocktail hour had so many stations with such variety, the duet plate for the entree was cooked perfectly and delicious and the Venetian hour was full of so many desserts! We also opted to add on the after party and the diner food and boozy milkshakes were absolutely delicious and a great way to end the night with our guests. We both come from big Italian families and groups of friends who love good food and we have received so many compliments on how amazing and delicious the food was!! There was not a hungry stomach by the end of the night! Nanina's knows how to throw an amazing wedding and truly provides top tier service to all couples and their guests! Our wedding was truly magical and special, I cannot praise Nanina's enough.

Nanina's in the Park gave my husband and I the best day of our lives! We did not have to worry about a single thing on the day of our wedding, and the process of planning was made much smoother by the team. Everyone treated us like family as soon as we stepped through the doors. Steve was an absolute dream to work with, he was always available to answer any questions or concerns we had, and even came in early to give us our final walk-through of the space and finalize our day-of plans. The staff at Nanina's are nothing short of miracle-workers. My bridal attendant Marta was by my side consistently throughout the night and got me anything I wanted, including my reception shoes, extras of cocktail-hour food, any drinks I was eyeing, and fixed my dress when the bustle broke! Amy was our maitre'D and did a fantastic job keeping our vendors and the night on schedule. She even helped us to empty the ballroom early so my husband and I could have a private dance at the end of the night, which was very important to us.
The food at Nanina's is outstanding. Tell your guests to come hungry! The cocktail hour is like nothing you will ever see again, there is SO MUCH FOOD!! Many of our guests came up to us after the wedding and told us that it was the best food they had ever had at a wedding, on top of telling us it was the best wedding they had EVER been to! Not to mention the venue itself is spotless, and the staff works very hard to keep everything clean and beautiful. We had our wedding in December, and the venue was decorated with beautiful Christmas trees, wreaths, and lights all around the grounds which made it very romantic.
If you're considering Nanina's as your venue for your wedding, JUST DO IT! You will not regret making that decision!

Believe everything you’ve ever heard about this venue… WOW. They are a well oiled machine. My husband and I were absolutely blown away by the level of service we received not only on our wedding day, but the entire lead up to the day. They made the planning process an absolute breeze and made it so easy for us as a DIY couple to set up the decor we made and bring our vision to life.
Our maitre de Vicky and bridal attendant Martha were OUTSTANDING throughout the day/night, at times quite literally getting on their hands and knees for us and they truly did not let us lift a single finger. We were treated like royalty the entire evening and I kept joking I felt like I was going to turn into a pumpkin once the clock struck midnight.
Lastly, the FOOD. Nearly every single guest has told us they were amazed at not only the quantity but more importantly the quality of the food! Believe the hype, it exceeds it.

If you want to plan a wedding that no one will ever forget - call Nanina's in the Park. I had been to a wedding there as a guest years ago and remember being impressed, but being a Nanina's couple takes the WOW factor to a whole new level. The menu is absolutely divine, but they knock it out of the park with their customer service. Wedding planning was a breeze with their team, and the day of was truly magical. Sally, Deandra and Jason did not miss a single thing - they treated me & my husband like gold and made sure things were taken care of so seamlessly. We had a Friday wedding, so we were offered the bridal suite from 7AM onward--with breakfast & lunch provided, which alleviated the question of where to get ready & when/what to eat. We arrived at 7:30 AM and Sally was waiting with open arms (literally) to carry in all our bags, boxes, etc. She made sure we had everything we needed, kept us on schedule and even fixed our centerpieces when they arrived a bit out of sorts. Deandra took over for her when we returned from the ceremony, and she was just as delightful- anytime we needed something, she was immediately on it. And then there's our maitre'd Jason--words cannot express our gratitude for him. I don't know how someone can be so on top of every detail during such a busy evening, and still appear as calm & warm as humanly possible. At one point during the reception, my husband wasn't feeling well and before I could say anything, Jason whisked us into our bridal suite and had warm tea & ginger ale for us within 60 seconds. It wasn't one of the more glamorous parts of the evening, but it was a true example of their phenomenal customer service. The team didn't just treat us like customers, they treated us like family. They had our signature drinks at the ready at all times and consistently made sure we were okay without being overbearing. A million thank you's to this incredible team for making our day so special. Now that I've raved about the staff, let me rave about the FOOD! Exceptional is an understatement--it's been a month and people are still telling me they're still full from our wedding. Guests raved so much about the cocktail hour, someone even said they could die content if that was their last supper. We did a buffet-style reception, and everyone was just as thrilled with all the stations provided. Going into wedding planning one of my priorities was the dessert, and the Viennese display did NOT disappoint. They had everything--my biggest regret was not getting to try it all! Aside from the incredible food, the venue itself is just stunning. We knew we wanted a Christmas wedding, and in our first meeting when Dominic said "no one does Christmas like us," he wasn't kidding. The decor was simple but elegant, and many guests thanked us for their next year's Christmas card photo! All in all, it was a perfect day at the perfect venue. We both come from two big Italian families, and so far no one has had a negative word to say--and that's saying a lot! If you are looking to book your dream venue, you've come to the right place.

An absolute DREAM wedding venue! From the moment we stepped into Nanina’s at the Park when visiting venues, we knew that it was the perfect place for us. The team at Nanina’s was incredibly helpful and their family oriented atmosphere really stood out to us. We originally met with Julian, who walked us through everything Nanina’s has to offer but never put any pressure on us. He assured us that this was to be our big day and they want only to help make the best day possible. Leading up to the wedding, we began to work with Amy, who was our Mater Dei during the day. She was incredibly helpful leading up to the Wedding Day, helping us to keep organized and make sure that we weren’t forgetting any details. On the day of the wedding, Amy and Martha were truly the best we could have asked for. They had directions for us at every turn and, more importantly, kept a fresh drink in our hands almost as soon as we finished the last one. We were able to maximize the time we spent together and with our friends and family without a single worry about anything! And of course, the food. The food was out of this world AMAZING. There was so much food and every single thing was absolutely delicious. Every single day since the wedding people have said something to us about how it was the best food they’ve ever had at a wedding! We were saying how we wish Nanina’s had a restaurant we can go to every week! Overall, we are so lucky to have the Nanina’s in the Park team be a part of our wedding… they are truly the best there is at all levels!

There are no words to fully express how I felt having my wedding at Nanina's. Everything was just perfect, and the day was just completely magical. Every step of the way as we prepared for our wedding with Nanina's was stress free, and easy to talk to people there. We met with Stephen the first time we were looking at venues. He went over everything immediately, and gave us so many different prices as we went over various open dates. We just got married last Thursday, 11/16, and I would love to relive that day. The pictures on the website are gorgeous, but don't do them justice until you see the venue in person.
It is so nice to have the entire venue to yourselves without other weddings or receptions going on at the same time. The garden area is so beautiful, and it was one of the many things that made me want to get married at Nanina's. We also had the option to arrive at the venue early and get served breakfast and lunch as we got ready. It is worth every penny. While we were waiting for the photographers to show, (we were ahead of schedule after hair and makeup were done), we were taken down the ballroom to take a look at the decorations. I was surprised they got everything set up so fast, and everything was better than I had imagined it. I had zero input because everything was well put together and was just overall happy and excited, but my husband afterwards, (I didn't know until after the fact), double checked everything to make sure everything was in place.
The attendants, Sally and Diandra, are super sweet, and they were so helpful as we got ready. Our coordinator, Amy, worked hard to make sure everything went on schedule, from the photography to the ceremony to reception, everything. And I am very lucky the weather held up during the whole day. The backup ceremony would have been the ballroom, which is gorgeous and is so spacious. We had the ceremony outside, and the day was just absolutely perfect. We also got some shots with some fall colors with the photographers, and it was amazing. I can't wait to see those shots.
Now, onto the food. Every time I mentioned Nanina's to friends to vendors, and others when they have asked where we are getting married, we were told that the food was amazing. My co-worker's niece got married at Nanina's, and she remembers the food being amazing. They were all correct. The food was spectacular. I wish I could have taken all of the food home, from cocktail hour to the main course. All of our guests have expressed how much they enjoyed the food. Chef Vincenzo is amazing.
The desserts. There were so many. I also wish I could have taken home all of the desserts. The viennese was amazing, and so many sweets. Everything was just amazing, and went perfectly and smoothly. If there is one word I can describe Nanina's, probably just one: Magical.
Definitely recommend having your wedding here. And soon they will have a Chapel on the grounds. They are currently building one. So there will be three different options to have the ceremony performed: outside on the patio, the ballroom, or the chapel. Thank you Nanina's and to all of the staff there. Everything was just magical.

This was the first venue we visited (after calling many!) and we fell in love with it and booked almost right away. Stephen was our main contact and he was incredibly responsive and great to work with throughout all of the prep. The day of the wedding went perfectly. They really are professional and are a well oiled machine. Our maitre d and bridal attendant were absolutely amazing, Vickie and Moon. I honestly cant say enough good things about them. Moon especially helped me with my dress and veil while we were taking photos. Really they went above and beyond. The grounds are beautiful for photos. We also had our ceremony outside. We have gotten so many compliments from our guests about the venue in general but especially about the food!! SO much food and everything was delicious. Everyone was wowed. No regrets, absolutely more than happy with Nanina's!

Thank you so much for your kindness, patience, flexibility, & passion. You were such a special part of my day and did it all the while staying effective & efficient. No detail has gone unnoticed. You are all so lovely, work so well together, and could tell you enjoy what you do. Amy, thank you for your precise timeline and attention to detail, you did not miss a beat, and I truly felt like I could not have thought of a single thing that you were not already ahead of and handling. You made my day what is was, effortlessly. Thank you Nanina's, for EVERYTHING, The venue in entirety, the food from soup to nuts, the staff and hospitality, this is truly a day we will be talking about for a very long time.
Thank you again

Nanina’s in the Park… AMAZING. Everything was absolutely perfect. We got married in August and we are still hearing our guests rave about the venue. The grounds, the food, the staff. We couldn’t have asked for anything better.
The grounds and venue were so beautiful. So many great photo opportunities. The outside and inside are immaculate. The food was never ending and excellent. The only regret was being too full to try it all! The Nanina’s staff goes above and beyond for you. They are truly one of a kind and absolutely amazing at what they do. Vickie and Martha were the best!! They were on top of everything and always made sure we were satisfied. They were professional but treated you like a friend at the same time.
We would get married at Nanina’s 100 more times if we could. We can’t say enough positive things about this place. We had the best time at our wedding because of them!

We are still on cloud 9 from our wedding. Our day was absolutely perfect! The team there is incredible. The hospitality is top notch, the food is insane, they went the extra mile to make sure my husband had plenty to eat with his allergy. We have guest calling about how incredible the cocktail hour was and how great the service was. For our evening Vicky was our Maitre’ d and Martha was our bridal attendant these ladies know how to run a wedding! They were 2 steps ahead of me all night. We worked with Julian from the start and he was always there to answer any questions we had. Liz is also a sweetheart that was so helpful. I would pick Naninas 100000 times again if I could.

My husband and I had our wedding at Nanina’s 6 days ago. Our experience was amazing and even that is an understatement. We lived every minute of the day in the moment and we have Nanina’s excellent staff to thank for that. By the way the food: out of this world!!
Right away I just have to say that Mounia, my bridal attendant, is a person of excellence and an incredible asset. If you book your wedding here you need to request Moon. She took care of every single one of my needs and beyond. She touched up my lipstick consistently, put in my veil, bustled my dress, made sure I had food/water/drinks every step of the way. She knew what I needed before I needed it and really made my day stress free. Not only was I impressed with Moon but my family and guests commented on how wonderful and attentive she was.
My bridal attendant Sally in the morning was excellent too! Sally was friendly, helpful, and very attentive. She worked hard to make sure the first half of our day went smoothly.
Cyrus was our Maitre’d. He was on top of everything and made sure we were happy!
The servers for each of my guests table were awesome and my guests were impressed by the service they received. My aunt said “ the waiter for our table was so good, they remembered everything we asked for.”
Shout out to everyone who helped us in the planning process. We planned our whole wedding while being away on travel nursing assignments.
Steve was a pleasure to work with the entire time. He answered all our questions in a timely manor. Jason made us feel super special during our final planning meeting. Liz made sure all of our appointments were made and all our ducks in a row.
Even though Nanina’s does so many parties, they still made us feel like we were the most important couple! Expectations exceeded!

Every single thing about Naninas is fab-u-lous! From the suites to get ready in to the outdoor gorgeous grounds. Every single thing is perfection. Planning with the team was a dream and they took so much stress off of the process. They are amazing. Steve and Amy helped plan our wedding and she was our Maitre’D on the day of. She was always accessible when we needed to ask anything and made us feel extremely relaxed. She was in the middle of planning her own wedding but you would never know because she was always helping with ours.
THE FOOD!!! People are still talking about the food. Every single crumb was delicious. We are secretly hoping someone we know gets married there so we can go as guests. We are even planning to host future events here just so we can come back!!!
I didn’t even know a bridal attendant for the day of was a thing but boyyyy do you need one. Which brings me to:
Mounia. I can not begin to express my gratitude for Mounia. Did someone send her from heaven because she was a literal ANGEL on my wedding day. She took care of things before I even thought of them or had the chance to ask about them. She touched up my makeup every step of the way and made sure my hair and veil looked exactly how I wanted before each set of photos were taken. She carried ALL my stuff for me so it was handy whenever I needed anything. She made sure I was fed, hydrated and comfortable. Speaking of comfortable, she literally got on her hands and knees to change my shoes under the table while my husband and I got to sample food from cocktail hour. All for the sake of saving time so we could enjoy cocktail hour with guests. WOW! She moved a mile a minute and was somehow always right there when I needed anything. I now consider her a friend and can not imagine what my wedding would have been like without her. She made a drastic difference in how I felt overall and the marvelous outcome of everything. I feel like I need to call every wedding venue to make sure their bridal attendant game is on par with Mounia. There are no single words to describe my experience with her and all of the Nanina’s team.
I highly recommend anyone getting married to seriously consider Nanina’s and definitely ask for Amy as your Maitre’D and Mounia as your bridal attendant

Naninas in the Park is nothing short of spectacular! From the beginning of planning Julian and Liz were responsive, helpful, and made us feel confident our day would be special! No words could prepare us for what an incredible day the team at this venue would truly provide us! Vicky and Moon were a dream team making sure everything was perfect and my husband and I always had what we needed! Even fixing my bustle when it broke so I could continue dancing the night away! From the service, to the jaw dropping ballroom, and finally the FOOD (we will NEVER stop talking about the food) this venue made all of our dreams come true! We could not thank them enough for the best day of our lives!

I don’t know where to start. Our wedding was a literal fairy tale. Nanina’s was our number one after looking around and honestly it was the only one. The cocktail hour alone sold us, but the grounds, the staff, just everything about it we had to have. Booking was a breeze and felt super comfortable with Stephen from start to finish. Never was he pushy and never did he mind my millions of questions. Our maitre d Jason and Bridal Attendant Crystal were angels! Everything we wanted, we had, and we never even had to ask. We turned around, it was there (food, a drink, a tissue, a safety pin) or it was done for you (making sure our shuttle was there for guests going back). I didn’t have to think or do anything other than enjoy our special day. I don’t know how you can ever thank someone enough for allowing you to be present on a day you often are told “oh you won’t eat or enjoy most of what you paid for”. We beyond enjoyed ourselves because of the thoughtful, forward thinking and insanely caring staff. Liz was a pleasure any time we stopped by with payments or picking up and dropping off items. I don’t think I would have had a wedding unless Nanina’s had a time and date available. I wouldn’t dream having it anywhere else!

Mounia Deodato is the absolute #1 reason I will always recommend Nanina's in the park. She was the absolute best bridal attendant i could've ever asked for. She helped the day go so smoothly and was just there for me whenever I needed something. She was absolutely amazing and i am beyond grateful to have met her. If you are getting married at Nanina's you need to request her!!!!

My husband and I were completely blown away with everything Nanina’s had to offer but we couldn’t have imagined how perfect our wedding day would be. The staff made everything run completely seamlessly and made sure our needs were always met and we always had everything we need. Our bridal attendant Deandra was AMAZING. No words can describe how thankful we both were to have her by our side always making us feel welcomed and comfortable. There was never a beat missed by her she was constantly everywhere all at once. Anytime we needed water, a tissue, someone to hold the veil or literally to fan us off she was there and ready. Our maître d’ Cyrus was amazing as well making the entire day run smooth and making sure all our guests were well taken care of. Stephen also was amazing with always communicating before the wedding, helping to answer any questions we might have had and he even stopped by the wedding to ensure it was all running smoothly.
Now on to the FOOD. Our guest cannot stop talking about the food. There was SO much and it was all so incredibly amazing. There wasn’t one thing anyone had any complaints about. My husband and I got about 20 plates of cocktail hour food brought up to the bridal suite after the ceremony and we were completely blown away. It was awesome that we were still able to try all the food we wanted because we decided to skip the cocktail hour. Dinner was also amazing and even though my husband and I physically couldn’t eat from all the adrenaline, the staff packed up our dinners for us to enjoy the next day. Dessert was nothing we could have imagined. We were brought into the room to check it out before the guests were able to and got some amazing pictures with the flambé. The staff also grabbed some plates of dessert for us to try and set it up on a table reserved for us.
We have absolutely nothing negative to say at all. Not one thing went wrong and even if it did, it must have been resolved quickly and we knew nothing about it. If you’re considering Nanina’s for your wedding, I absolutely recommend it!!

I got married here on May 5, 2023 and the day was magical. Everything was absolutely perfect. Our guests are still raving about how good the food was and how our cocktail hour was the largest they’d ever seen. The grounds looked beautiful and our pictures came out stunning. Our Maitre D was Vicky and she was amazing! She took care of all the details and made sure everything went perfectly. We didn’t have to worry about a single thing with Vicky in charge. Our bridal attendant was Mounia (Moon) and she too was amazing! They both always made sure we were well fed and had a drink. My husband was shocked at how much attention even he got, being helped in and out of his suit jacket and being given food and drinks in the groom’s suit. Mounia was by my side all day/night. She carried my dress for me outside to make sure it didn’t get dirty, she took pictures alongside my photographer so I had my own pictures to look at the next day, she was always there to bustle my dress, and she brought me several pairs of shoes as the night went on so I was comfortable. Vicky and Mounia feel like family after our wedding. We cannot thank them and everyone else at Nanina’s enough for making our day so perfect and being a part of the best day of our lives.

Let me first start by saying WOW!!
We had the pleasure of working with Vicky for our wedding and again let’s just say Wow! Vicky and Nanina’s made our wedding day a dream we could have never dreamt of, it was absolutely perfect. They say it’s tough to have a perfect wedding but Nanina’s accomplished it. We had over 200 people and I’ve gotten close to that many calls and text about how great and some say it was the best wedding they’ve ever been to. We are so thankful for everyone at Nanina’s for making our day amazing.

I would HIGHLY recommend having a wedding or any event at Nanina’s in the Park! We recently had our wedding reception there in May 2023. This venue is so intimate and beautiful. The ballroom is grand, the food was AMAZING. The grounds in the back are also stunning and romantic. And let me tell you they’re really fake care of you there. The maitre’d was with me the entire day and made sure everything went as planned. Our guests said they’ve never been to a venue like this and we’re just very impressed with the service they received. Thank you Nanina’s in the Park for making our wedding day so special

The level of service you will receive at Nanina’s on your wedding day is second to none. I was aware there would be a Maitre d’ and bridal attendant but did not expect just how much they would take care of us and ensure everything went smoothly. Our Maitre d’ Jason Oh was on top of everything and kept the day moving and organized. There are a lot of moving pieces on your wedding day but Jason made sure everything went according to plan- and it did! I don’t know where to even start with my bridal attendant Mounia (Aka Moon). She made me feel like royalty, catered to my every need, and half the time getting me something I hadn’t even asked for yet (but was thinking about). She was such a doll and really went above and beyond to make sure I was taken care of. She’s going to be a memory from my wedding day that I will never forget!
The food is of course out of this world and the venue is beautiful. But you can gather all of this from pictures online. When choosing a venue it’s important to know what’s going to go on behind the scenes, and I promise they know what they are doing and will make sure your wedding dreams come true!

Nanina's In the Park literally saved our wedding. We had to change venues, and Nanina's was amazing from start to finish. They were reasonably priced and included nearly EVERYTHING. Just incredible.

Throughout the entire planning process everyone was so accommodating, especially Amy who helped us with all the details. We are still receiving compliments about how our guests enjoyed the food and service. Not to mention how beautiful the venue and grounds were. This place is nothing short of spectacular and if we were to do it all over again, we would pick Nanina’s every time.

Special shout-out to Steve, Liz, Sally, Moon, and Jason - they made the process from start to finish so seamless from booking the venue to the very last minute of some shuttle troubles - I did not have to lift a single finger. From accommodating my requests the day before, always bustling my dress, and filling up my drinks. We cannot thank you enough

We had the best time at our wedding and we would give it a 10/10 for all the details from planning to day of wedding day perfection! My husband and I worked with Julian & Jason to finalize our perfect day and Liz was always so helpful in getting us to the right people when we we stopped by or called. Personally I had the best experience with both my Bridal Attendants Sally in the morning & Diandra in the evening until we packed up and left.
Diandra made sure that I was not under any stress before walking down the aisle and during the entire reception and was always by my side. Jason our Maitre’d was hands down the best person to have by our side and made sure he wasn’t rushing us on our big day but was always there to make sure we were taken care of. As a Korean Bride it was even more helpful to have Jason understand a little bit when speaking to my parents and making them feel heard, but he definitely made sure my husbands family was taken care of as well and everything was perfection. All of our guests said the venue was absolutely stunning but the service & FOOD was hands down the best food out of a lot of the North Jersey venue standards. We are still getting calls and texts about the amazing wedding ! Thank you everyone for making our wedding day so special!

Our wedding was Saturday and we are still in shock about how perfect our wedding reception was. Nanina’s in the Park blew us away and made every vision and more come true. The food was incredible and our guests repeatedly told us they’ve never seen anything like it. The cocktail hour was everything we were promised and more. The presentation was stellar, every single item was delicious, and the night was just flawless.
As the new couple, we spent a few minutes in the bridal suite sampling the food before we went and greeted our guests and we got to try everything, and I mean EVERYTHING! They brought ALL of the food to us, along with our signature drinks, and we were able to sit and take in the moment by ourselves. Great way to start the night and it ensured that we got to try the amazing food.
Dinner was amazing and I can honestly say that it took my breath away when I saw the the beautiful ballroom decorated and set up. All of our guests have said how attentive and friendly the staff was and raved about the Chicken Sorrentino and Chateaubriand.
As we sat at the sweetheart table and looked out into the ballroom at our guests and the display, I truly couldn’t help but just smile. My vision came to life and Nanina’s was a huge part of that.
The viennese display was mind blowing- I could not get over all that was served and neither could our guests. If you wanted a dessert of any kind, it was there. Once again, the presentation was stellar.
The staff was truly so kind to my husband and I on our big day. Vicki was our Maitre D and she made everything flawless for us from the time we did the final details to the big night. My drink was always refilled, she helped us know where we needed to be so that we didn’t miss anything, and she is truly just so good at what she does.
Our bridal attendant Deandra was so helpful and sweet. We took photos outside and it was a cold day but she stayed outside to help adjust my train during the outdoor photos and we really appreciated that. She was with us all night helped with anything we needed.
The venue was so easy to work with- we were able to collect our items the next day and they even sent us home with food. ..SO much more than we were expecting, and we can now enjoy the food with family and recap the wedding for days to come.
If you are considering Nanina’s in the Park for your wedding venue, don’t hesitate and book it. You will not be disappointed. It truly was the best day ever!!!

Nanina's in the Park is the absolute perfect venue!! My husband and I got married at Nanina's in the Park on 1/8/2023 and it was such a dream. We wish we could do it all again and are dying to be guests at a wedding there so we can experience it all again!! From the time we booked with them, I felt confident they would take good care of us and every interaction after that reiterated that. I booked the bridal suite for the morning of our Sunday wedding and it was so cozy and relaxing, and they fed us throughout the day prior to the start of the wedding. Moon was my bridal attendant in the morning and she was phenomenal. She ensured everything was set up to our liking, helped me get ready, and made me feel like I was in good hands!! Deandra was my bridal attendant after the ceremony and she was also amazing!! She was so fun and attentive throughout the night. I was sad to say goodbye to both of them!! Cyrus was our maitre d for the night and he was incredible. He made sure everything went perfectly and on time. He was so friendly and professional. He helped make our night so perfect!!
When we went out to the cocktail hour our guests were already telling us how amazing of a wedding it was!! The ballroom looked absolutely beautiful for both the ceremony and reception, everyone loved the library area for cocktail hour, the Christmas decorations were still up and added a lovely touch to the day, the food was incredible and never-ending, and the drinks were also delicious! People are still raving about the wedding and that is all thanks to Nanina's. The staff there felt like family by the end and I cannot recommend them enough. They really know what they are doing, and are kind, thoughtful, and professional. The space is beautiful and perfection. I never wanted to leave and for the night to end!! Cannot recommend Nanina's enough. Oh! and they sent home trays and trays of leftovers the next day when we picked up our stuff. my husband and I were so happy as we didn't eat as much as we wanted to (as all brides and grooms experience) and the food was still amazing even leftover!! An amazing venue for a reasonable cost (at least for a Sunday wedding in January!).

Naninas wedding venue is an absolute dream 💭 come true.. The grounds, food, bridal suite, cocktail hour set up, ballroom layout, reception, overall service - owners, maitre d, bridal attendants AND staff are truly unmatched. My husband and I are so happy we booked our special day here and are dying to be a guest at another Naninas wedding in the near future. Since it was Christmas season (decor was up for the season thru Little Christmas, 1/6) we got to take advantage of the beautiful lights and seasonal holiday decorations (lit Christmas tree in entrance and library, poinsettias, decorated mantle in ballroom, etc.)
Throughout the day (and leading up) everyone was extremely polite and professional. The communication was top notch - they answered any and all questions. We felt so prepared after our finals meeting which was such a relief 1 month out. Our guests were raving about the cocktail hour food & ballroom reception. Our maitre D and bridal attendants were spot on. So appreciative. Would love to relive this day over and over.

We recently got married at Nanina’s on December 3, 2022 and I am STILL in awe when I think about it because they made our wedding day that incredible. If you are debating Nanina’s vs another venue, BOOK Nanina’s you will not regret it. Over a month later and we are still getting compliments from our guests saying it was hands down the best wedding they have ever been to. Our experience with the team at Nanina’s was nothing short of perfect, and I mean that with the upmost sincerity. From the start, both Steve and Liz were amazing - communication was excellent and they made what could’ve easily been a very stressful year of planning extremely easy and it was smooth sailing. Vicky (our Maître D) was exceptional - they gave us the powerhouse team the night of our wedding, and Martha (my bridal attendant) was an absolute angel. I honestly am so grateful for the entire staff at Nanina’s, I didn’t have to worry about a thing the whole night. They treated us (along with our friends and family) like royalty. And of course, this goes without saying.. THE FOOD👏🏻👏🏻 Unbelievable - if it is feasible for you highly recommend the over the top menu. We knew we wanted Nanina’s from the start but we were absolutely blown away at how everything came together. Perfectly executed & went off without a hitch. I hope down the road we can book Nanina’s for a future event, they feel like family!

Just got married at Naninas in the Park last night and had to write a review as soon as possible. This was the most incredible venue . The event planners were helpful, and the staff working that night was incredible. We have to give a special shout out to our bridal attendant Moon. If you’re getting married there, having Moon is a must. She made sure we were taken care of every second of the night.
The food was excellent. No one left hungry that’s for sure!!

We got married on 10/20/2022 and Nanina’s was an absolute dream. From our very first meeting through pick-up the day after, we were treated like royalty!
The generosity and kindness of every person was unmatched and we can’t begin to explain how great the 2 bridal attendants were on our wedding day.
The venue itself is so stunning. We had an outdoor ceremony and the landscape was so naturally beautiful that we didn’t feel the need to add any of our own decorations.
The food. Let’s just take a moment to acknowledge how AMAZING the food there is. You simply can’t compare the quality and amount of food they offer to any other wedding venue.
Honestly, we have nothing negative to say about our entire experience with Nanina’s and we can’t wait to be at another event there!

Nanina's in the Park is more than a reception venue. It is a wedding EXPERIENCE unlike any other in NJ. We just had our third wedding there, and they continue to exceed even the highest expectations. It is four days later and guests are still calling to say this was the best wedding they have ever been to. The cocktail hour is a culinary experience. I strongly suggest the Over the Top menu with the Lobster and Mozzarella stations. It is well worth it. The spacious ballroom with ambiance lighting enhances the experience for your guests. The Venetian hour was two hours--and second only to the cocktail hour.
Overall, the service and professionalism of the staff at every level makes this an exceptional event.

Where do I even begin. My now husband and I instantly fell I love with Naninas. We met with Julian and had the most amazing vibe from him. He helped us with any and everything and went above and beyond.
Fast forward to our wedding day 11/17/2022. My bridal attendant Deandra I don’t even have the words to describe how AMAZING she was. My 4 year old son was sick and she was with him the whole time and took care of him like he was hers. And our maître d’ Jason OUT OF THIS WORLD. He was so funny and so easy to talk to. He made sure everything ran so smoothly. The food was unbelievable my guest are still talking about the outrageous cocktail hour. Over all 10000000/10 is how I rate them. Best night of our lives.

I cannot express enough how thankful we are to Nanina's in the Park for an absolutely incredible wedding day and night. They are organized, kind, and know what they're doing. As soon as we arrived, the team was ready to walk us through all parts of the day and help us. The food was out of this world - my family is still sending me pictures of cocktail hour and the dessert stations. The team is attentive and ready to help at any moment. Our maitre D was Vicky and bridal attendant was Martha, and they were quite literally the reason our day went so smoothly and how we were able to enjoy it to the fullest. They pulled us away quite a few times for private moments (during cocktail hour, avoiding the crowd before ceremony, seeing the reception hall before our guests, and getting a presentation of the dessert before our guests), and we were able to take in our wedding fully. I can't thank them enough for the most perfect wedding day!!!

We got married at Nanina's on 9/22/22. Honestly the best wedding venue!! From the moment we booked everyone has been so friendly and helpful. The day of the wedding went smoothly. Amy was phenomenal and she helped us to create our dream wedding as we did not do certain things traditionally. The entire staff is amazing. Our guests keep raving about the food and how great everything was. If you are looking for a venue Nanina's in the Park will not disappoint. Thank you to all the staff we are so happy and grateful for all of you.

Nanina’s was the best and greatest venue and I am so happy my husband and I decided with them. Originally, we met Steve and were corresponding with Steve but towards the end for final details with spoke more with Vicky. We expected a lot more NOs for our guest and they were able to drop our minimum which helped us a lot. The day off, EVERYTHING WAS FLAWLESS. Vicky was our Maitre’D and Moon was our Bridal Attendant. Both of them were top notch and took care of us both and we love them for that!

We got married at Naninas July 14th, 2022. From the minute we toured in August 2020, Nanina’s made us feel like family. Stephen always answered any questions we had. Being the only wedding that day was very important; I rented out the bridal suite for the day and we had the entire place to ourselves! We had breakfast upon arrival and our entire wedding party had lunch as well which was provided. We had both a morning and evening bridal attendant. Moon set up ALL the decor exactly as we wanted. She made sure we had anything we ever needed. Giselle was the same. She held my dress while I walked during pictures and the minute I thought about being thirsty she had water there for me. She even did a major sewing job on one of the groomsmens suit pants that ripped just hours before our ceremony (review for that below). Nanina’s staff is EVERYTHING and truly knows how to create beautiful weddings. Our Maitre D was Ryan, he was equally as fantastic. Kept us on time, this guy knew exactly what he was doing and did it well. The food is phenomenal & they give you more food than you could ever imagine. BOOK NANINA’S LADIES!! You will not be disappointed!

ABSOLUTELY BLOWN AWAY!! Daron and I had the most magical wedding ever thanks to everyone at Naninas. We cannot thank the entire staff enough for making the whole wedding process as easy and laid back as possible. Also, a special thanks to Amy, she was the absolute best on the wedding day and took care of Daron and I the entire night!

We had our wedding on July 16, 2022 at Nanina's. It was beyond perfect. Everything went exactly how it was planned (and if it didn't, I never knew!). The staff was incredibly accommodating, detail oriented, and always one step ahead. We worked with Steve, Vicky, and Giselle the most and they were all fantastic :) As the bride, I never had to think about a thing all night, everything was taken care of.
The space itself is gorgeous - the ballroom was redone and its the perfect canvas for any type of decor you would want. The cocktail and Viennese space was spacious and the food was able to be spread out so nothing felt squished. The outdoors is so pretty, with great landscaping, a nice patio, and a park-like scene with a waterfall and bridge over a small pond. I am so excited to see our photos from the night!
The FOOD. It was so delicious and the amount of options was unbelievable. Even though there were so many different options, all of it was amazing. Everyone raved about the food, from cocktail hour to dinner entrees, and even dessert!
Another thing I really liked was that before we went down to cocktail hour, they had all of the cocktail hour food options brought to the bridal suite for my husband and I to eat before we went down (because of course we would be too busy talking!) It was so smart, and it was so appreciated!
The planning process went extremely smoothly. From the moment we walked in for the first tour, we felt at ease. After booking, they contacted us with any follow up information they needed and once the date got closer, they outlined exactly what we needed to do to prepare. Nanina's was very flexible with dates and times for our decor drop off.
I would highly recommend booking your wedding with Nanina's. It was truly the best day with the most amazing food and prepared event staff. All of our guests raved about the night, which made us so happy!

Naninas in the park truly made our wedding day a dream. They make the couple feel very special the moment you walk into the venue till the second you leave your wedding night. They really spoil guests with the cocktail hour and elaborate dessert table. Our guests are still raving about the food! They are flexible and will work with the couple to what fits their needs. We also had our ceremony in the grounds and the grounds were beautiful in June.I worked with Liz and Steve before the wedding day. Giselle and Cyrus the day of the weddding.Everyone was professional and made the process run smoothly. These people really know how to run this wedding venue. It was a perfect night because of the service and food. I recommend this place to any bride and groom

Future brides listen to me carefully if u don’t use this place for ur wedding, u already took a big loss!! I kid u not, they know what they r doing. Down to the extreme tiniest details.

Vicky, Mounia, and Ryan were my biggest MVPs!!! They made sure i was always taken care of. It’s as if they already knew what i needed. Things i asked for that u wouldn’t think u needed they had!!!! The food is extremely delicious, the service is impeccable and the venue itself is beautiful!! I literally didn’t have to worry about anything! I will always love naninas In the park!!

Nanina's was absolutely amazing! Everyone there is so professional and helped make our wedding day spectacular. The service is unbelievable, they cater to you so well! From the beautiful well kept landscape, to the gorgeous inside, and the most delicious food, we highly recommend using Nanina's as your wedding vendor. We have had endless phone calls from family and friends telling us it was a wedding they will never forget.

Naninas knocked it out of the park ! (No pun in intended ) Starting from the day we booked with Steve, who was so helpful and always available for any question we had during the planning process. Our wedding reception was beyond amazing and more than We could have imaged .
Vicky our Maiter D is the best of the best, the whole evening was seamless because of her ! Along with Vicky , Julian, my Bridal attendant was by my side the entire night helping with anything I needed .
You cannot ask for a better venue. The food is delicious, especially the cocktail hour, people were calling and talking about how great it was for weeks after. The ballroom is so stunning and made it feel so magical. I will say I was so calm all day because I knew I had nothing to worry about having my wedding at Naninas . Of course a beautiful venue with incredible food is important but having the A Team that Naninas has is what We truly believe made our wedding one of the Best !
