Engaged couples: Look no further for the venue of your dreams. Working with the Nassau Inn was incredible. I signed my contract pre-Covid and we needed to reschedule 2 times. They couldn't have been more accommodating as we navigated those cha...
llenges. The planning of the wedding was organized and stress-free. With many thanks to Jaime for helping to keep me calm and offering suggestions when I was uncertain about different decisions. I'm so grateful for her. We also held our rehearsal dinner at the hotel and we were so pleased with how delicious the food was. It made us even more excited for the food for our wedding! Michelle and Kadie were our rehearsal/day of coordinators and they too were wonderful. They kept the day on track and everything running so smoothly. Brittany was our Maitre D and she continued keeping the event running seamlessly. They all made a point of making sure my husband and I and our guests were taken care of throughout the night. We also hosted a breakfast for our overnight guests and, once again, the food was delicious. It was just what we all needed after a long day of celebrating the day before! Many of our guests have reached out to us expressing how wonderful everything was: The food: impeccable, delicious. We had several guests with food restrictions and the hotel made every effort to accommodate those needs The ambiance: warm and romantic. We barely needed any extravagant decor because the hotel has such incredible charm, we wanted that to shine through. The accommodations: clean, comfortable, and relaxing (I fell in love with my bed and pillows!) The staff: professional, welcoming and considerate. We had several guests with physical disabilities and Ryan was a god-send for when those guests needed assistance with elevators and stairs. Ryan also played an integral role throughout each part of our wedding overall. He made himself available for any help or insight we needed while planning and for the day of. He went above and beyond to ensure our overall experience was a positive one, and he succeeded. Lastly, the setting is like out of a classic Hollywood movie. Literally picture perfect--photographer approved! The square is top notch with sweet boutiques and eateries--excellent for guests to explore during their stay. We are still beaming from our big day. We keep saying how perfect it all was and we can't wait to start a tradition of visiting the hotel for our anniversary. The Nassau Inn truly made our wedding the wedding of our dreams, and from the bottom of our hearts: thank you

or June 2020, and had to cancel due to COVID-19. We quickly gave up our dream wedding due to the pandemic, but Melissa made our perfect wedding day a reality, even during these difficult times. We invited 40 of our closest family and friends, and we had the most spectacular special day, while staying safe, wearing masks, and social distancing throughout the Inn. She was so communicative and accommodating and was absolute dream to work with. She made me feel so special and supported throughout the process, and I still can’t believe how lucky we are to have had such a special wedding day. If you are looking for a beautiful accommodating venue, in the most gorgeous town, book the Nassau Inn immediately !!! :)

Melissa did an outstanding job attending to our every need. The day of the wedding was not stressful because we knew the big day was in good hands. It was so nice to just get to enjoy our big day without having to worry. The dinner and reception was fantastic, everybody loved the food and the staff really spoiled us. I would highly recommend the Nassau Inn.

re. Melissa served as our venue event coordinator, and was in constant contact with us throughout the process. Melissa excludes enthusiasm and her tenure with the Inn has made her an expert at coordinating events within the spaces that the inn has to offer. We had so much fun ironing the details of our wedding weekend with her. Aside from the reception, Melissa also helped us facilitate a Friday night welcome party in the tap room, and a post wedding brunch - if we asked, she made it happen. During the events, Nicole and the event team catered to us and our guests consistently to make sure everyone had what they needed. Everything ran on time, and was setup perfectly, just as it was originally relayed to us. Jaime and Stephanie were our point people in rooms blocks, and in accommodating our family and friends comfortably at the inn. They were both so easy to work with, and were so responsive. Given that the inn is the only hotel in town, we were pleased to be able to have nearly all of our out of town guests accommodated at the hotel. We were so well cared for the entire weekend, as were our guests; from the bellhop, to the front desk personnel to the servers, the entire staff was so lovely and outstanding. We love the Nassau inn and plan to celebrate our anniversaries there in the future!

We can't say enough positive things about the Nassau Inn. First and foremost our coordinator Melissa is fantastic at what she does. She is professional, organized and detail oriented. Everything we ever mentioned throughout the planning process...
was noted and the entire evening was perfection. She ensured we were taken care of every step of the way. She responded to emails in lightning time and was there the day of to make sure the day went without issue. The service was impeccable, we did not go more than 5 minutes without the staff asking if we were comfortable, needed a refill etc. We truly felt so special on our big day. The food is incredible and we received so many compliments from our guests. The food you receive at your tasting is the exact food that is delivered at the reception. Our reception and cocktail hour were more than we could have ever dreamed of thanks to the incredible staff at Nassau Inn. The venue itself is just beautiful and the location is perfect, especially for out of town guests to explore downtown Princeton. Every single staff member from the front desk to the waiters were professional and congratulated us. We can't say enough about the Nassau Inn, book them for your event and you will not be disappointed.

o charming and we just loved the history of it. The space was perfect for an intimate wedding and the service and food was amazing. I have to add that the food tasting was so nice. We had a private room and Melissa was great to work with. She is so on point with everything! We worked with Jaime throughout the process and she was absolutely amazing – so sweet and thorough, always quick to answer any questions. My family and I loved her. Our wedding day we worked with Toni and Nicole and they were both fabulous! Toni was always there to ask if I needed anything and everything went smoothly. The entire staff was so kind, professional and accommodating. There was another wedding on the same day as ours in the ballroom. You would never know because the space was on separate floors so we never ran into them. I would recommend though booking their valet service if your wedding falls on a busy weekend. They had recommended we do that and we regrettably opted out. There was a minor parking issue the day of and while it worked itself out - some guests did end up missing the ceremony (which is totally our own fault). We defiantly regret not booking the valet, as it defiantly would have been worth it for us. Overall we have zero complaints and couldn’t have picked a better venue. We highly recommend them!!

As far as planning went, the team made it as easy as could be, which was an extra plus, since I was wedding planning long-distance while in grad school. We worked with Jamie Wolf during the bulk of the planning process and with Melissa Dill on the day-of. Both were such a pleasure to work with!

kept everything on schedule the day of the wedding and set up the venue beautifully with the decorations we provided. Our wedding was very "DIY" and thanks to the Nassau team everything looked very classy. A big plus for us was having the Yankee Doodle Tap room on site. We had a lot of family and friends traveling from out of state and didn't want the party to end when the reception was over. We all headed to the tap room and got to really catch up with a lot of our friends and family in a more intimate setting. You also can't beat the location. For our guests many came earlier in the week or stayed for a long weekend to enjoy the Princeton campus and the local hiking trails. It was everything we hoped for and we had a blast just as must as our friends and family did. I would recommend this venue for any affair no matter how classic or casual.

We used the Terrace for the ceremony and the Senior room for the cocktail hour and the Ballroom for the reception. We also had lovely suites for the bride and her bridesmaids and for the groom and his groomsmen to get ready. The Nassau Inn is full service and so they provide tables and chairs and linens as well as delicious food. The cost was reasonable. It was chilly for the outdoor ceremony so the Inn, at Jaime's direction, threw in hot cocoa and apple cider. I could go on and on. I can't recommend Jaime Wolf highly enough.

We did the pro/con thing but we knew –like you know your fiancé is “the one,” that this is where we wanted our special day to be. We chose the Palmer Room for it’s more intimate feel, allowing us to celebrate with just our nearest and dearest (about 80 people), and it was just what we were going for. The bonus was getting the lobby space up there as well as use of the patio right in front of the Inn’s iconic red door. The location can’t be beat! We walked over to Princeton U’s campus and took some amazing shots. The food is stellar (as is the cake they get through their affiliated baker), and the staff is fantastic. We worked with Marianne and right from the beginning we knew it would be a great experience. She was responsive and patient with all our questions (even the weird ones), always made sure we will comfortable with the planning process and willing to help in any way possible. Marianne also helped us so much with ideas for little personal touches we wanted to incorporate but weren’t sure how. Marianne became not just our catering manager, but a friend. Jaime helped us with our room block and was wonderful as well! She made sure we understood the room policies, accommodated some strange family concerns, and we had beautiful suite for the night of the wedding (and as the bridal suite the morning of). As mentioned, the food is great! Unlike many couples we actually got to enjoy our meals, the staff makes sure you’re taken care of and get to eat your meal. The whole catering staff that night was fantastic. We got to enjoy our food and our reception because we knew there was nothing else for us to worry about: it had all been taken care of. None of our guests had a single complaint the whole evening! In fact they said it was one of the best weddings they’d ever been to, and one family member even admitted we may have set a bar. We didn’t set out to, all we wanted was to have a wedding that was uniquely us, just how we envisioned, and that people would say “yes that was them,” and that’s exactly what we got – all thanks to the Nassau Inn and its staff. If you’re looking for the perfect place for your wedding, with great atmosphere, great food, and the best staff you could ask for to help make your dream day come true – look no further than the Nassau Inn. We wish we could do it all over again!

ly and patient. Melissa was our main contact and she answered all of our questions in a timely manner and patiently listened to all of our concerns. Melissa was unable to be our banquet manager on our wedding day but her colleague, Jerry, was equally knowledgeable about our wedding and helpful! The weather on our wedding day was extremely fickle and kept alternating between rain and sunshine. Jerry listened to our stressful uncertainties about whether or not we wanted use our indoor back up. In the end, when we decided to have a indoor ceremony, jerry acted quickly and we had our ceremony in the Senior Room and our cocktail hour in lobby 2. The back up plan was executed wonderfully and both rooms were beautiful. I managed to steal a few bites of hor d'oeuvres in between greeting the guests and the food was delicious. Our reception was in the Prince William Ballroom and the room was set up beautifully and all the details we wanted were present. I did remove one star from service because at least one of our guests was given a vegetarian meal instead of the steak he ordered. (But he said the vegetarian meal was delicious!) We chose to have a room block with the inn and setting it up was extremely easy. Jaime, who helped us with our room block, was great at updating us on how many rooms were booked and whether or not we needed to increase the number of rooms. Thank you to the staff of Nassau Inn!

This review is so hard to write because I just don't know where to begin - Everything was so fabulous! The ballroom has just been redone and is beautiful, the food was delicious, the Inn itself is beautiful and full of history, and the guestroo...
ms are a delight. But if I had to choose, I guess I would say that I have 3 favorite things about this venue: 1) It's very affordable and tastefully decorated. It seems to be hard these days to find an affordable ballroom reception hall that leaves out the tacky extras (like ice sculptures and LED lighting), but the Nassau Inn is actually classy. 2) Location Location Location! You couldn't ask for a more beautiful town to get married in than Princeton. My husband and I were even able to quickly hop over to the nearby Princeton campus and took some really beautiful portraits. But the biggest draw was that my entire 80 person family was coming from out of town, mostly flying, and all found it easy to get to, and there was lots for them to do in the down-time. Most of my guests were even able to take the train directly from the Newark Airport to Princeton without an issue! 3) I saved the best for last: The staff was amazing. I worked with Keir for about a year to get my party just right, and she was fabulous. She had great ideas, was quick with her responses, and beautifully navigated a sticky in-law situation. She was there for me every step of the way, from seeing the venue for the first time, to carrying my train as I was about to walk down the aisle. She helped the event run as smoothly as possible, and she's very sweet and funny to boot! Jamie, the guestroom coordinator, was also very accommodating, cheerful and easy to work with. If I had to do it all again, I'd do it here for sure.

My husband and I chose the Nassau Inn specifically for it's ability to provide a cozy and elegant setting for our smallish wedding (50 guests). The food was superior- tasty and well prepared rather than haute cuisine, and the packages we had t...
o select from were wonderful. The Inn was gorgeously decorated for the winter holiday season, and the grand fireplace lent a merry air to our cocktail hour. The staff was courteous, helpful, and outgoing. Keir, the banquet coordinator, went above and beyond to help us make the little personalizations to the packages that made our night very special and unique to us. Our guests loved the craft beer bar offering especially the Nassau Inn's willingness to include brews that were not part of their listed offerings. During our stay, they fulfilled our need for stools and high chairs, room service and umbrellas, accommodated all of our vendors' requests and schedules. I couldn't have dreamed of a better location for our intimate Winter Solstice wedding.

My mother-in-law planned a wonderful rehersal dinner at the Nassau Inn. She is not from the area, and from my understanding, the coordiantor there was very helpful and followed up with all questions in a timely manor. The food was very good...
- certainly more food in the buffet than the 20 guests could even imagine eating - probably enough for 40-50 people. The room looked very nice and the hotel, overall, is a neat Princeton experience and piece of history. My only concern was the price. Granted, it is Princeton, but by simply serving less food at the buffet (also creating must less waste) the price could have been reduced significantly. Although it was a beautiful experience and more than we could have expected for our rehersal dinner, I felt bad that his parents spent quite a bit of money on it. (The buffet proposal we first saw would come to probably close to $2000.00 for just shy of 20 people for the room and food.)

We chose the Nassau Inn because of the close location to our church in Pennington, and because of the historic architecture. I worked with Marianne, the Catering Manager, throughout my entire planning. During this time, she was very PATIENT ...
and ACCOMMODATING to my vision and needs. Even though my wedding was small, 40 people including bride and groom, Marianne never made us feel as though we were not as important. The service was HIGH QUALITY and STRESSLESS. On the day of our wedding, 10-9-10, we, and the guests, were blown away with how the staff organized my vision. They worked very well with the florist and other vendors to create the warm family atmosphere we wanted. When I arrived, the videographer told me that I am going to love the look of the dining room. I believed him, because the reception area looked great. We chose the Palmer Room, which was naturally decorated with reds, browns, and warm lighting. The guests loved this area of the inn. It is perfect for the bride who is having a Fall or Winter (Christmas) wedding. The hors d'oeuvres, appetizers, drinks, and cake were EXQUISITE. Our only complaint was the entree, as it did not taste like what we had for the tasting. It was not horrible, just not to our liking. Of course this one flaw will not stop us from recommending it. Overall, everyone enjoyed and filled up on everything else, so by the time it came to the entree, my husband and I were already full. I was also saving room for the cake. The cake was GREAT and YUMMY. Chez Alice made the cake for their venue. We had the Frasier and Mango Mousse....mmmmm...could eat some right now. We saved the top tier for our one year anniversary, so guess I can wait, or go into Princeton to buy a slice....mmmmm... Overall, I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND, the Nassau INN.
