Shadowbrook at Shrewsbury

I could never truly put into words how incredible and beautiful the venue is. I got married here in February and it was the most perfect day. Everyone kept asking me “how are you so calm” the morning of my wedding and I kept responding “I know the staff here will make sure everything is perfect” and they did! All of my guests are still telling me it was the best wedding they’ve ever been to. Saying it was the best food, best cocktail hour and best service they’ve ever experienced. Working with Carl and Stephanie was such a pleasure. My bridal attendant Gianna and Flip were AMAZING. I’ve never felt so comfortable with someone so quickly as I did with Gianna and she made sure I felt comfortable all day. Especially when we were outside taking photos in the snow! She gave me her jacket and hand warmers in between photos to help me warm up. The day feels like a dream to me because it was just absolutely perfect. I can’t recommend this venue enough!

ng was perfect, food was unbelievable!! I can’t say enough about the Shadowbrook!!!

quite resonated with us the way Shadowbrook did. To say our wedding at Shadowbrook exceeded all expectations would be an understatement. No detail was missed, and everything came together to create an unforgettable experience. The cocktail hour, dinner, flambe show, and Viennese desert was impeccably planned and left us and our guests in awe at every turn. The cocktail hour was not just delicious but beautifully presented. Even after the wedding, our guests continue to praised it as the most remarkable cocktail hour they had ever encountered. Several guests even mistook it for the main dinner due to the exceptional quality and abundance of food and the diverse range of stations. Mark has built a remarkable venue and has truly created an unparalleled wedding experience. His team's service was exceptional, and their meticulous attention to detail ensured that every facet of our day was flawlessly executed. Stephanie, our dedicated wedding coordinator, was a constant source of support and guidance throughout the year of planning. She was readily available to answer any questions and always just a call away. Her expertise made the entire planning process stress-free, culminating in a day that exceeded our expectations. On the day of the wedding, the staff went above and beyond, making us their top priority. The Maître D' and his team executed with precision, ensuring a seamless celebration. Each of our parents and grandparents received their own personal attendants, attending to their every need. Additionally, there were several bridal attendants catering to the bride the entire day for 14+ hours. Shadowbrook brought our wedding vision to life in a way that was beyond our imagination. Our unforgettable experience is a testament to their unwavering commitment to excellence. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Mark, Stephanie, and the Shadowbrook team for making our day truly exceptional.

t kept the entire day on track and did everything in their power to make sure we had nothing to worry about or stress was ABOVE AND BEYOND. The attention to detail, the quality of the service, the amazing food (which all of our friends and family still talk about 1 year later) just completely blew us away. That is before you even discuss the beauty of the property and the building and its new renovations, the Salon for the bride and her friends and family to get ready in is an experience that is a MUST have. If you haven't experienced a wedding at Shadowbrook you haven't truly experienced the best wedding you may ever experience. We are forever grateful to Mark and everyone on his team for making it the best day of our lives.

wbrook delivered above what we imagined for our wedding day and our guests are still talking about how wonderful the cocktail hour was, how delicious the food was and the atmosphere. I also loved how Shadowbrook only hosts one wedding at a time so the staff can attend and focus completely on your event. Our bridal assistant Gianna took care of us from the time we walked in (about an hour and a half before the cocktail hour started) until the very end of the night. She even made sure to pack up some extra food and desserts from the Venetian hour for us, since we didn't have a lot of time to eat! I also highly recommend booking the Venetian hour option, not only for the desserts but the presentation. I won't spoil how well the Shadowbrook does on this but trust me, the money adding this one is worth it.

l day. The food was amazingly delicious and left our guests raving about it for days after. The staff was incredibly accommodating and went above and beyond to make sure that every detail was taken care of, allowing us to truly enjoy our big day.

he night run so seamlessly. Our guest kept raving about how the service was impeccable and it was the best wedding they have ever been too. The food was so over the top and amazing. Literally everything I ate was AMAZING (and I tried everything). People keep asking us about the lobster tails pastries and where they are from. And the lamb chops at cocktail hour were another crowd favorite. In addition to the casamigo shooters and caviar with chilled vodka station. We got married before Christmas and they had it decorated sooo beautifully that multiple people told us they are using those photos for Christmas cards. It was the best day of my life and I would relive it 100 times over. Additionally, Marc and Stephanie were super helpful throughout the entire process of planning and helped calm all bridal nerves, stress and anxiety. They both were super responsive, easy going and great to work with plus they had everything so organized. We did theatrical lighting package and the dancing on clouds. I would highly recommend the theatrical lighting - I was a complete game changer in the room and definitely added to the entire atmosphere.

g and every single staff member is remarkable. We got ready in the salon, and it was worth every penny. The attendants took such good care of us, we had everything we needed (breakfast, lunch, drinks, steamer, even crazy glue). One of my bridesmaids even thanked me for letting her be a part of this great experience. HUGE thank you to Dan, Corrine, and Carl for all they did the day of to make sure we had the time of our lives and for listening to our vision and executing it flawlessly, and to Marc for answering every single one of my emails with a personal phone call, and to all of the waitstaff and bartenders for being so attentive and caring with our guests. Since our wedding, we keep hearing the same feedback: 1. every bite of food they ate was phenomenal, 2. the staff was unbelievable and 3. every single aspect of the venue and its ambience was gorgeous. As the bride and groom, we wholeheartedly agree with all of those statements. If you have the opportunity to get married at the Shadowbrook, from one bride to another... BOOK IT!

your dreams. Every single detail is flawless. The food, drinks, atmosphere, staff, ambiance, everything is 10/10. The bridal suite to get ready in was so fun and the food was great. The bridal attendants during the day were awesome. As for my day of bridal coordinator, Stephanie, she seriously made my wedding. We had fun together, she made me so calm and took care of literally ANYTHING and EVERYTHING. She got whatever we needed. She was the best. Danny, the maître d, was super helpful and on point of everything. Marc was also such a key part in making our night absolutely flawless. They all had the timing down perfectly. It is such a smoothly run operation. As the bride, I seriously could just enjoy every single minute and know they were taking care of it all for me. Every single employee was kind and attentive. So many of our guests commented on this. Arlinda was the original key point person that sold us on the venue. The dance floor is huge. The room is spectacular. There is a stage for the band. The food is delicious. The cocktail hour is out of this world. There are so many different stations for food. They have little mini drinks that go around with fun food items. The ice luge was a hit. It is almost a month later and all my friends and parent’s friends are still talking about the wedding. I cannot thank Shadowbrook enough. You gave us the best day of our entire lives. We will forever remember it all and miss that day. We love looking through our pictures to relive it. Thank you, thank you Stephanie, Marc, Danny, Arlinda, and every single employee at Shadowbrook. We hope to one day go back to the Shadowbrook as guests to enjoy it all again 😊

e us the best tour, proving us with history of the venue and an insight of how our special day would be. Mark- one of the owners, was so responsive during the wedding planning process and his assurance made us feel at ease during the stressful wedding planning months. Stephanie was also super helpful as we were getting close to the wedding day. Now for our special day, words can’t express how happy and content we were with the venue! We truly felt like royalty from the second we stepped foot on the property. The Shadowbrook offered not only some of the best food but also sensational and phenomenal service. My Wife and I still have family & friends calling us raving about the delicious cocktail hour and how they never saw so much food in their lives. Our bridal attendant, Gianna, was fantastic, providing my wife and I with everything we needed the entire day. The Maitre d’ and entire waitstaff was on their A game, focusing so much attention on our guests by filling cocktails quickly and providing stellar 5 star service. Our guest even noted the service to us that’s how on point it was. The attention to detail this venue offers is unbelievable. Also the venue itself is just absolutely BEAUTIFUL, the recent renovation was truly done right. The art deco decor is elegant, classy, and timeless. We highly highly recommend for any couples looking for a wedding venue to not have any doubt at all and to book the Shadowbrook. This place is a gem and very well run. We have both been to many weddings but no other place can top the quality service, food, & beauty you will receive here. Thank you so much to the number 1 venue in NJ for giving us the most amazing wedding, a day we won’t ever forget as well as our guest. We Can’t wait to hopefully be back as guests one day.

h a dedicated staff and delicious food. From the moment our guests arrived through the entrance gates to the spectacular ‘to go’ stations at the end of the night, every detail was to perfection! Our guests could not stop raving about the amazing service, jaw-dropping grounds, and unbelievable food! Our bridal attendant Gianna and our maître d’ Andrew were incredibly kind and thorough. They took care of everything for us, we didn’t have to lift a finger! They made sure all events from the evening went smoothly and to our liking. Throughout the planning process, we met with Carl, Dan, Mark, and Stephanie. They answered all of our questions with expertise and made us feel confident that our wedding day would be exactly how we envisioned. The Shadowbrook was the perfect venue for our special day!

person we worked with through this entire process, especially Mark from the beginning was absolutely amazing. We booked Shadowbrook at the beginning of construction without even seeing anything built and had full confidence in Mark and the entire team that our dream would be brought to life… and that is exactly what happened!! Everyone we encountered throughout these past 2 years- exhibited professionalism, willingness to help and patience that stood out above the rest. The execution of the night was absolutely seamless. Shadowbrook is the epitome of elegance and beauty. No words to describe how beautiful every inch of this venue is! Photos are absolutely amazing and our guests were in awe all night!!! We will forever be grateful for our maitre’d Dan, as well as my bridal attendant Corrine — who both were two of the most amazing people and crucial To making our day and night as PERFECT as it was. We will be raving about our day for years to come… every aspect was more perfect than we even could have imagined!!! Everyone at Shadowbrook and every detail is unmatched.

er construction, we walked in very excited to see this venue especially since my parent got married at this venue 30 years ago prior. We were blown out of the water with all with all the renderings and all that was included in the wedding package, we could not wait to book for January 8th, 2021. Due to the pandemic we decided to push to later in 2021, we are so grateful that Mark and team were so incredibly accommodating during these crazy times. Our Maître D was Dan and our bridal attendant was Corrine, the entire staff treat us like royalty and made our day run so smooth. Every time we turned around, they were there with a plate of food or a new drink. Our parents felt so special throughout the whole day as well. Our guest are still reaching out saying it was the most epic wedding they have ever attended. From the gorgeous building and grounds to the amazing cocktail our down to the top-notch service. The surprises never end, we were shocked when the gelato and donut trucks were set up as our guest existed the building. We cannot thank the team at the Shadowbrook enough for giving us the best day ever! We hope to attend other events at this amazing venues in the future!

y all of the beautiful finishes they chose! From start to finish, the staff was wonderful to work with. We had our ceremony on site in the chapel, which was absolutely stunning! Dan and Stephanie did an incredible job making sure we had all that we needed with no stress. Stephanie was the most attentive bridal attendant; she brought us food from our cocktail hour to enjoy in the bridal suite, made sure we always had a drink when we wanted one, helped fix the bustle on my dress, and even found me on the dance floor with a cool towel to make sure I wasn’t too warm! Our guests raved about the service, the food, and the absolutely incredible venue itself. We also used The Shadowbrook’s on-site lighting company, and were so impressed by what they were able to do to make the room come to life. We would highly recommend The Shadowbrook to anyone looking for spectacular service, beautiful old-world glamor, and a fantastic wedding celebration!

lity service and food. On top of that, they recently renovated in 2020 and the site has a "wow factor" at every turn. Starting with the beautiful entrance gates, guests head down a long driveway lined by evergreen trees before pulling up to the impressive mansion style venue. And upon entering the building, jaws drop at the long hallway lined with marble floor and gold chandeliers. The overall venue feels like a combination of old New York/Gatsby paired with the Palace of Versailles. The real win-factor for me was the brand new ceremony space. It's a separate building that gives you the indoor/outdoor feel. For brides who want to be married outside but can't control the weather, this is an absolute win. The space is gorgeous and has the ability to open up the side "walls" to let the outside, in. Or, if the weather is too poor, the walls stay down but they are clear, so you still get the sense of being outside, but protected from the elements. Our wedding day was 70 degrees and sunny. The walls were all open, letting in the fresh air as the sun was setting. The space is lined with evergreen trees... bird chirping as I walked down the aisle. It was magical. But that's not all. Their reputation for high quality staff, service, food was 100% accurate. It's the first thing that our guests commented on; they all said that it's the best service they've ever seen at a wedding and that the food (lots of it!) was all delicious. Every single guest has said "best wedding I've ever been to". As the bride and groom, we cannot thank the staff enough. My bridal attendant, Gianna, was absolutely incredible. I don't even have the words. I truly felt so comfortable with our Maitre'd team. They immediately demonstrated that they were experts in the business. Because of them, I felt like I could actually relax and enjoy the day. And along this journey, we felt so supported by the the Shadowbrook leadership team. Any question we had was answered quickly and with understanding. We met with several different people throughout the planning stages, and we were always treated with kindness, support and respect. If we could do it all again, we would.

really knows what they are doing. The property is absolutely stunning and all of our guests' jaws hit the floor when they walked inside! We booked pre-construction and the venue blew our expectations out of the water when we saw it finally finished. We initially booked with Mark, and something about him and his team made us feel like we were in such good hands compared to some of the other venues we looked at. We were right, the entire Shadowbrook team was so responsive throughout the planning and gave great advice whenever we had a question. The day of the wedding, we compare their staff to the CIA because they really are always one step ahead and have everything down to a science to ensure the night runs smoothly! We were treated like celebrities, and our guests said they "felt pampered" while there. The food is incredible, and the displays they have for cocktail hour are amazing, our guests could not believe it. Corinne was my bridal attendant and was by my side for any little thing I needed. She brought us food during cocktail hour, drinks throughout the night, and no request was too small or silly for her to help with. She even bustled my dress and helped me get to the bathroom so my bridesmaids could go have fun! Overall the Shadowbrook is spectacular and we have nothing negative to say about our experience with them throughout the entire planning process and wedding day.

. Everyone at the Shadowbrook is friendly, helpful and willing to do anything for their couples. We had multiple phone calls with Mark and Amy during the construction and our planning process and they never rushed us off the phone, put us at ease with some of our concerns and were always available for us. As we got closer to our wedding date Stephanie and Danny took over and they were even better to deal with (if that’s even possible). Stephanie took detailed notes during out meetings and little offhand comment we made were taken care of without us even realizing she was doing it. The day of the wedding Stephanie and Danny were amazing. From the second we got there to the minute we left they were by our side making sure everything was going as we had hoped it would. They were incredible. Our guests had an amazing time and we are still getting texts and calls from families and friends saying it was the best wedding they had ever been too. The Venue is stunning, food was absolutely incredible and every single worker was professional, kind and overall just amazing. It’s tough to put into words how overwhelming happy we were having our wedding at the Shadowbrook. It really is the best of the best and we really hope some of our friends get married there because we can’t wait to go back!

emailed Amy weekly for an update. Everyone at the Shadowbrook was professional and amazing to work with. The team they have is unbelievable, and made our day seamless. I truly don't know how to thank the Shadowbrook enough for the most magical day of our lives. We waited for the place to be built after looking at 11 other venues, nothing else compared. During COVID they were so understanding and worked with us and found us our perfect rescheduled date. When the day came, June 11th, 2021, from the moment I arrived everything went perfectly. Dan the Matre'd was amazing! Our parents felt so special throughout the whole day. The salon to get ready in is perfect. They provide champagne and food all afternoon. Then the bridal suite is gorgeous to hang out in and take photos. My Bridal attendant, Stephanie, was absolutely amazing. She was right by my side all day and was such a huge huge help. She made sure everything was perfect. She helped the groom as well with whatever he needed. The ceremony onsite was stunning and the Shadowbrook helped make sure everything was on time. During the cocktail hour the Matre'd made sure our parents tried all the food. the guests were blown away! For the reception, the service was impeccable and the place looked gorgeous. The venetian hour was a huge successful and all our guests said it was the best wedding they have ever been too. I truly cannot thank the entire team at the Shadwobrook enough. Your blew our expectations away. It was everything we could of ever dreamed of and much MORE!!! It was truly the best day of our lives. Thank you!!!!!!! The Boscia's

professional, fun, and, and a well rounded expert at his craft. Mark and Amy picked up every call, and answered every text immediately while we were planning our wedding. The food, the drinks, the service was an experience on its own. My family and my wife’s family were catered to hand and foot. My wife and I felt like royalty. Carl and Danny were great, they had eyes on us and the whole party all night long. At times it felt like they were teleporting, amazing how they could move so fast. I turned around and they were behind us, I couldn’t even get the question or request out, they had the answer (amazing). Stephanie was a God send. She spent the whole night with my wife helping her, and being right by her side. She was attentive, kind, and an all around good person. Looking back we couldn’t imagine our day without her. She has truly become a part of our memories of the day. It’s been 3 days since our wedding and our phones haven't stopped ringing with our guests raving about the amazing time they all had, from the decor to the service, there was nothing by 5 star reviews of the venue. The team at The Shadowbrook is without a doubt the best. Our wedding was spectacular, we are forever grateful. Thank you to the whole staff. Because of the Shadowbrook our forever has had the most magical start. We love you guys!

e it so painless & took care of us from the very beginning. We worked with Mark the entire time & he is nothing short of amazing. He was so easy to communicate with, he was caring, and genuinely wanted us to have the wedding of our dreams after a rough year- which he did make happen! I was speechless the night of our wedding, the venue is INCREDIBLY beautiful, the food was amazing & the staff was just so attentive, friendly & helpful the entire night. Stephanie our bridal attendant I swear was a magician. I needed something & she was standing there with it 2 seconds later. Danny & carl were incredible & because of them there was not one glitch in our night. This staff has it down to a science , what an operation they have going. I would also highly recommend utilizing the bridal salon - the girls had such a blast in such a stunning setting which made it so special. This is a wedding all of our guests will be talking about for years & I can’t wait to go back!

as. From the moment we met with Amy, I knew the Shadowbrook was the perfect place for us. The planning process was effortless as the staff is so fantastic. The night of our wedding everything was absolutely perfect. The food was AMAZING! Our guests are still talking about it all these months later!! Carl and the staff are professional and attentive. The service was incredible as was our bridal attendant Stephanie, who helped us the entire night. I really can’t say enough about the Shadowbrook. They gave us the best wedding ever!

e for us - and we were not wrong! The building itself is beautiful and the gardens are exquisite. Mark, Dan, Carl, Amy, and everyone else at the Shadowbrook were so helpful, kind, and accommodating to us; they really made what should have been the most stressful part of the planning process a breeze! They helped every step of the way, even when we were working with other vendors. The whole process went smoothly and the day-of was no different. They helped coordinate with everyone to make sure everything was just right, and our bridal attendant was there with us all night. The decor, service, and attention to detail at the Shadowbrook is absolutely stunning. The selection and quality of food are out of this world. There truly are very few words that can possibly describe how amazing of a job they do. We keep hearing feedback from our guests which include words like "amazing", "unbelievable", and "mind-blowing". These are just the start when it comes to the Shadowbrook! They were the perfect venue for our perfect day. The family knows what they are doing, and there is a reason why all of their venues are at the top of the list. We cannot recommend the Shadowbrook enough - if you are looking for the best, look no further!

zing we started planning with Carl but every person we dealt with through our process was nothing but kind and accommodating. Planning a wedding is very stressful but working with Shadowbrook and their staff put my nerves at ease. The day of the wedding went perfectly! Our guests could not and still cannot stop complimenting on how great of a night it was from the presentation, to the tentative staff, to the food!They all said it was the best food they had ever had at any wedding. I cannot say enough about Shadowbrook!!

. We walked out knowing that we had found our venue, and signed our contract within a week. Being in the business myself, I had high expectations- and to say they were met is a complete understatement. Mark and Amy were on point the entirety of the planning process, and the day of our wedding was nothing short of perfection! Carl and Serena are everything that a bride and groom deserve on their wedding day: patient, communicative, doting, fun, organized, flexible, and at the ready to take care of anything you may need from the second you arrive to the moment you drive away at the end of the night. The entire staff was professional, yet personable, with every single guest; our parents were especially taken care of by their assigned servers to make sure they got to enjoy cocktail hour to the fullest. We just got back from our honeymoon, and the entire time we were away we would continuously get texts and emails from friends and family just RAVING about the service, food and bar selection. IT IS KILLER! The cocktail hour alone is enough to make you cry since it takes up both sides of the mansion (guests were constantly in shock and the variety), not to mention the butler passed hors d'oeuvres on top of all it! One of the ice carvings (which is included) at the raw bar station was even made to match the logo on our invitations exactly! Dinner and desserts are no less impressive with restaurant-quality options and presentations. I'm starting to reach the limit so I'll end with this: all in all, I CAN NOT imagine having had our wedding anywhere else. If you want the ultimate wedding experience, go to the Shadowbrook!!

rfect the experience was from the planning to the actual party. Mark and Amy were so great to deal with, any question, concern or request was met with kindness, knowledge, and prompt attention...right down to a request of blue champagne (to honor the bride's grandma), there wasn't anything that we threw at them that they didn't accommodate. Then we were given Matt and Stephanie...Matt the Maitre D and Stephanie, the Bridal Attendant..they were absolutely fantastic from the minute we pulled up to the venue. We felt like royalty for the night. The level of service from every single staff member, the unbelievably delicious food, the beautiful venue, it was all just perfect! I highly recommend the Shadowbrook at Shrewsbury for any special event you are planning!

etting married. The venue is absolutely breath taking. And then you start meeting the staff and it gets even better. We met and booked with Mark who was fantastic, answered every question imaginable and whenever I asked to speak with him he got right on the phone and calmed my nerves. He was there the night of our wedding and made sure everything was great for us. Not only did he make sure everything was great at the Shadowbrook but he also recommended the best vendors possible for DJ, photography, limo, shuttle services and even hotel accommodations. Next comes Amy who is the most perfect person ever, she is definitely in the right field of work! She knows so much about The Shadowbrook and what is going on. Nothing was too big nor too small for her, she made sure everything was going to be perfect for us. Right down to the blue champagne we wanted for our toast. Our Maître D was Matt and our bridal attendant was Steph, there is not enough I can say about them. Every time I turned around they were there with a plate of food or a new drink, or my lipstick that Steph carried around for me all night long. At the end of the night I was frantically trying to sample the dessert and Matt told me to enjoy the last few minutes we had left and he would package up some dessert for me, well he packaged an entire tray of delicious desserts that we're still enjoying! Even Dan was fantastic, I met Dan for the first time when I had my drop off appointment but he was there the entire night of our wedding and he also made sure everything was perfect and kept asking if we needed anything, and even got us drinks and food. Every time I went back to our sweetheart table there was a new cold fresh drink waiting for us whether we took one sip or finished the glass from the other drink a new one was there for us. From booking this venue over a year and a half ago to our wedding night I can not say enough about how perfect it all went. There was literally nothing to worry about and everyone deserves a wedding like that. I have a few friends who have gotten married at other venues and they have said "this went wrong, this went wrong...but no one would have known but me..." well I can happily and confidentially say nothing went wrong. People always say something will go wrong nothing is ever perfect.. well our night was PERFECT. The food was amazing, it's almost a week later and people are still raving about it, the staff was fantastic quick, prompt and made everyone feel important. They made sure to treat us like royalty all night long and that is exactly how we felt, like a king and queen! We seriously cannot thank the entire team enough at The Shadowbrook for making our dream into reality.

t without you guys!

anted to get married. Starting with Amy, who was absolutely 100% amazing every single time we talked to her. No question was too small, no request too large. She helped us with anything and everything we could have wanted. Her attitude is amazing and is just a wonderful, warm person. And I’m not sure I will ever be able to describe how amazing the wedding was itself. It rained all day, and I really wanted the ceremony outside - unfortunately, we couldn’t, but let me say —- I was not even a little disappointed. The ceremony was incredible and beautiful. The food and the service was absolutely perfect. And Stephanie, the bridal attendant, may be my favorite person in the world. I had the best, best day of my life, as did my new husband. Thank you for making all our dreams come true. We are still floating! Everyone keeps telling us how it was the best wedding they have ever attended. Additionally, the service our parents received was unbelievable. Everyone we spoke to has also expressed how amazing the service was. Thank you all so, so much! All we keep saying is how much we want to go to someone else’s wedding there so we can experience it again. Just incredible.

t it!! The variety was incredible. The dinner choices were unbelievable and equally exquisite . The service was over the top. No one ever had to wait for a drink or for their water glass to be filled. The servers were so professional and courteous. My daughter's attendant was simply the best. Carl, Dan and Mark made sure every detail was attended to. The venue is classy and the gardens are beautiful. The value far surpassed the cost. I couldn't imagine having my daughter's wedding any place other than the Shadowbrook. Have your wedding there....you will be thrilled!!

ress free. She was always available, even for silly little questions. Carl, the maitre d, was nothing short of amazing. He was present and aware of everything going on, before it even happened! Carl set the room up in a way that I could have never imagined. We dropped off a bunch of stuff and said we trusted him- and sure enough, everything exceeded all expectations. Serena, the Bridal Assistant was the cherry on top! She was so helpful all night. The cocktail hour is amazing, the service is amazing, the grounds are amazing, and Shadowbrook offers both an indoor and outdoor access- which was lovely for an an August night. I cannot express how unbelievably perfect the whole night was. I would recommend the Shadowbrook without hesitation.

attentiveness of the staff really made everything extra special. Amy was great in responding to all my emails prior to our wedding. Matt and Serena did an amazing job taking care of us on our day. We received so many compliments on the food! All of our guests were gobsmacked at the cocktail hour! Everyone left full and happy! We are absolutely thrilled with our experience there!

ich we are so happy we did), venue, gardens, and overall decor. It is impressive that they produced such a high volume of a variety of food while keeping the quality high. Numerous guests pointed out that the service was also fantastic. We always had drinks at our table and our personal assistants were very attentive to our needs. The flow of the night was very smooth. And they also allowed us to incorporate our dog into the ceremony and created a beautiful ice sculpture with his photo! The gardens looked very beautiful especially on the sunny day that we got. In summary, everything was fantastic and we didn't have a single complaint. We would highly recommend this venue to anyone looking to celebrate a special occasion. So many of our guests said it was the best wedding they'd ever been to. I know they are closing soon temporarily for expansion but if you hire them in the future you won't be disappointed--this management team is known for keeping the quality, service, decor, and food top of the line!!

am here goes above and beyond to make every single detail of your wedding perfect. We have Amy and team to thank for that! The venue itself is beautiful, with classic charm and meticulously maintained outdoor gardens. Picture perfect! The staff is beyond professional and outgoing making sure everything is taken care of so that you can enjoy your special day to the fullest, no stress! The food was even better than we imagined it would be. We still have guests commenting on how unbelievable our cocktail and Viennese hours were. The selection and display of it all was magnificent. We highly recommend Shadowbrook to any couple looking for the perfect venue for their perfect day. We can only hope now that we are invited back here as guests so we can experience the magic all over again.

as incredibly attentive to each and every guest from the beginning of the night until the end. The staff managed every step and event of the night flawlessly, allowing my wife and I to fully celebrate the occasion with our guests. From the white glove service to the regular guest check-ups, its obvious that Shadowbrook perfected their service and truly care about every detail. The food was absolutely delicious! Completely exceeded any expectation. The cocktail hour was unreal - filled several rooms and each contained a specific theme that we and the guests loved (seafood, Italian, steak, Mexican, etc). Each dish was such high quality and we especially loved the seafood extravaganza add-on. The bar was set high and it continued to the dinner service and Viennese hour, which again, spanned several rooms! Not one person left disappointed or hungry . All of the guests had a BLAST! We're still talking about the food and experience weeks later. A very special thank you to the staff that made it a night we'll never forget - Dan, Carl, and Amanda

p of EVERYTHING. The entire planning process was stress-free thanks to the amazing team at Shadowbrook. Amy, our wedding coordinator ensured us that our vision for our wedding would truly be brought to life and wow, was she right! The day of the wedding was beyond perfect and the staff was on point. Matt, our maitre d' and Stephanie, our bridal attendant were absolutely amazing, catering to my husband and I's needs all day. Anything we could possibly think of was handled by them. They made us feel like royalty all day/night and our guests told us the same of the wait staff! We also added an extra hour to our reception and had different diner food stations and hand passed appetizers, on top of the insanely extravagant cocktail hour. Our guests are still raving about the food and service! We are so thankful for this place and wish we could go back in time to have our special day all over again. Would highly recommend!!

ed our wedding with the help of Amy at Shadowbrook, and she truly is the best. You can tell she loves what she does and makes the whole process easy. The wedding day itself was perfect. We wanted an outdoor wedding ceremony but with rain in the forecast we weren’t sure if it could happen. Shadowbrook worked with us and had options available for both indoor and outdoor ceremonies. They made the call an hour and a half before that we were good to have the ceremony outside and it was so beautiful. The grounds are well manicured and really make such a nice ceremony space. Cocktail hour is over the top good- so much food and it’s all cooked perfectly. Dinner was so good that we had people taking to-go boxes of food they didn’t finish. And finally, the service was incredible. Stephanie was my bridal attendant and she was so sweet and helpful all day. Matt ran the show like clockwork. Guests were delivered drinks and whatever else they needed all night. There could not have been a more perfect place for our wedding day.

al organizing this event And always answered all the questions with kindness.Danny who coordinated all decoration was unbelievably helpful. Danny helped set up event exactly how our vision was and went over more than we asked for. Mark, the owner was extremely easy to get along and made sure our requests were met as best as he can. The venue looked amazingly magical. The food!!! It was unbelievable! I am very critical when it came to food tasting and was truly amazed. Guests couldn't belive how good it was! All the foods were so tastfully prepared.Many guests thought the cocktail hour foods were main meal and couldn't belive that more were on the way in dinning hall. We had so many guests tell us this wedding was the best wedding they attended. We are so glad we chose Shadowbrook to host my daughter's wedding. If you are looking for Venue you want to impress your guests, Shadowbrook will be top of the ranking.

was above and beyond anything we have experienced. Our Maitre D, Matt, was on top of everything. He listened to what we wanted and how we wanted the night to flow. The bridal attendant, Stephanie, was great. The associate who showed us the venue, Dan, was also present on our wedding day ensuring that everything went smoothly. Amy was extremely helpful and responsive in the months leading up to the wedding with seating, cake tasting, and random questions that we needed answers to. Our friends and family still rave about the beauty of this venue, the service, and above all, the cocktail hour. I highly recommend this venue and can't wait to attend another's wedding here! Thank you, Shadowbrook team!

ould pale in comparison. Amy, Victoria, and Matthew were the staff we worked most closely with. They were fantastic!!! Amy assisted us with the planning process and made sure that all of our wants and desires were met. Victoria and Matthew went above and beyond the day of our wedding to insure that the day ran smoothly! Victoria never left my side and Matthew never missed a beat in directing the flow of the day. And of course... the food was all the rage! My guests are still talking about the cocktail hour and the Viennese hour. I couldn’t imagine getting married anywhere else. I recommend the Shadowbrook to anyone looking to get married somewhere when they know they’re being given the best food, care, and attention. Trust me... you’re in good hands!

by the Shadowbrook is outstanding. I truly felt like a princess the night of my wedding with the help of Matt, Stephanie, Dan and Carl. The entire evening went as amazing as we could have dreamed. Cocktail hour provided our guests an abundance of food that we have continuously heard such amazing reviews of almost two weeks later. The Shadowbrook itself provides the most beautiful background and atmosphere for our wedding vision, but the staff were able to flawlessly support the wedding vision with our detailed personal items (e.g. picture frames, clocks, votive, etc.). When a groomsmens pants ripped, the entire male staff offered their sizes in order to try to rectify the problem!!! We couldn't believe how generous and what amazing customer service each individual wanted to provide to us. When my Husband's tux jacket had a tear, Stephanie had it off and sewn before I even had a second to think about it. Mark really leads a team that is respectful, provides phenomenal customer service and the utmost professionalism we have seen at all the weddings we have attended. I would highly recommend the Shadowbrook for your next event and if anyone wants to invite us, we would LOVE to go back real soon (or every weekend)!!!

anie truly made the day so perfect. I couldn’t have imagined it without them. This is the classiest, most beautiful, romantic venue full of history and deserves the 5 stars. Thank you so much for everything!

The Shadowbrook itself is a breathtaking venue with history imbedded in every detail. Since we had a winter wedding, all of the decor for the holidays was absolutely beautiful. ALL of our guests had a blast and couldn't get over the unbelievable cocktail hour and food overall. Carl and Stephanie were so accommodating and professional. They even had a spare pair of flip flops for me. This is a 5 start venue all around. I would recommend any couple looking for venues to make an appointment here! The best of the best!

fun and so nice! The Shadowbrook is gorgeous and unlike any other venue. The feeling is warm and intimate. The decor is gorgeous. Not your typical wedding hall at all. Our guests can’t stop raving about cocktail hour, the incredible service, and how beautiful the night was. The interior gets decorated so nicely you really don’t have to do much or bring in your own things - they do such an incredible job, especially during the holidays! Best venue ever!

nd within 10 minutes. That kind of responsiveness was evident throughout our relationship. We also dealt extensively with Mark, who is one of the owners. His hands-on approach to our event was what really made the difference. We had some dietary requests that involved massaging the menu quite a bit for both the cocktail hour and dinner. He was incredibly responsive to our needs, even asking me a last question at the cocktail hour. We were also concerned about having enough time on site for photographs, as there was an afternoon wedding also. Mark made sure we had access to the bridal suite upon our arrival, as well as the grounds for photos. Shadowbrook is a gorgeous facility, both inside and out. Our plan, which I highly recommend, was to have the ceremony outside and the cocktail hour inside (although guests can take their food and then sit outside). The flowers on the property by the end of the summer are incredibly beautiful, as is the outdoor space for a ceremony. I spoke with Danny, the General Manager, several times within the 36 hours prior to the ceremony, to understand how and when we would make a call for inside vs. outside. He was super calming. When we arrived at SB, we were greeted by Danny, Matt, our Maître D, and Stephanie, our bridal assistant, all waiting for our arrival. From the moment we arrived until we left, they catered to our needs. Matt was amazingly attentive but also incredibly calm, as little things came up that needed my attention. Stephanie was also amazingly helpful. We had an issue with the bustle on my daughter’s dress, which Stephanie expertly solved. We were introduced to our table waitress while we were taking pictures. She told us that she would have a table reserved for us during the cocktail hour. She whisked us away to that table immediately as the ceremony ended and brought us some food and drink. That was incredibly important – to eat something – before we began to circulate. It took maybe 10 minutes, and it really assured a perfect night. She continued to cater to our needs at the party. My one regret is that I was too excited and involved to really have an appetite. What I did taste was simply delicious, but I didn’t sample nearly enough. I’d like to go back as a guest!! All of our guests raved about the food, the quantity, the quality, the presentation. Shadowbrook is known to have an outrageous cocktail hour. Our guests, who have been to plenty of nice affairs, spoke about our wedding as one of the best they had ever attended. Shadowbrook had a lot to do with that. The service was impeccable; many of our guests also commented on that. Also the flow of the evening was perfect. We have been to many weddings that seem to drag – too much time spent sitting, not enough time for dancing. We worked with Mark (and our band, Renegades, also spectacular – see that review) to describe our vision in terms of the pacing of the party and they made it come to life. We absolutely loved our experience with Shadowbrook. From beginning to end, they were good listeners, accommodating to our needs, and delivered excellence. If I had to do it all over again, there is almost nothing that I would feel a need to do differently. Check out Shadowbrook, you won’t be disappointed.

turn-key operation (all-inclusive), you seriously do not need to look elsewhere. They are now part of The Seasons and Venetian owners, which are extremely well known in NJ for their food and service. Everything from the grounds of the mansion, to the food, cake venue (Palermo), SERVICE, bridal attendant, bar tender, you name it... the guests will want to come back for another event. There is more food than you could even imagine with NO lines during the cocktail hour!! And the service was top notch. Guests never comment about the service, but all we heard after the wedding is that their drink was never empty and the food was unbelievable. Everything from the chairs and linens to the food and décor, you literally just bring yourself the day of and you are ready to party!!
