There aren’t enough words to praise the Nassau Inn!
Our wedding was all we could dream of and more. We waffled a little when trying to find a venue about the size of the wedding w...e wanted, but we knew we wanted a location between NYC and Philly, with historic charm, places to stay nearby, great photo opportunities, and of course great food! We saw the Nassau Inn and the smaller Palmer Room upstairs with Lobby 2 and fell in love. 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!
