Shadowbrook at Shrewsbury

I recently had my wedding reception at Shadowbrook at Shrewsbury and it was absolutely perfect. The venue's decor was stunning and added the perfect touch of elegance to our special 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.

Shadowbrook completely exceed all expectations. From the moment you enter the front gates they treated us like royalty. The bridal assistant (Corrine) and maitre d' (Phillip) had the 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.

My husband and I had the most amazing wedding night, without a worry in the world, all because we had our wedding at the Shadowbrook at Shrewsbury. Everything is absolutely stunning 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!

I seriously cannot say enough amazing things about Shadowbrook. If you are looking for a wedding venue, pick the Shadowbrook. You will have the time of your life and the wedding of 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 😊

My Wife and I just got married at Shadowbrook on 07-24-22. From the moment we walked through those doors when visiting for the first time we were amazed. Arlinda, the sales rep gave 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.

WOW!!...We got married at The Shadowbrook in July 2022. The Shadowbrook went above exceeding our expectations in all categories. The Shadowbrook is an absolutely gorgeous venue with 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!

Fairytale dream come true-no words! We seriously can not say it enough- what a vital part EVERYONE at Shadowbrook was to making our entire day and night absolutely perfect. Every 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.

My Husband and I had our wedding reception on December 17, 2021 and it was the most incredible night ever! We met with Mark and Amy November of 2019 when the building was still under 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!

We were so incredibly happy with everything The Shadowbrook had to offer! We originally booked the venue while they were still in the middle of renovating, and we were blown away by 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!

The decision to book at the Shadowbrook was certainly the best one we made. It proved to be one-of-a-kind. We decided to visit the Shadowbrook because they are known for high quality 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.

The Shadowbrook absolutely knows how to throw a party! We couldn't be happier with our decision to book the Shadowbrook for our wedding reception in October 2021 because their team 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.

We booked the Shadowbrook in hard hats and primarily based on a blue print since it was still under construction. We put our trust in Mark and his team and they more then delivered. 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!

Incredible Venue: I truly don't know where to start. I booked the Shadowbrook before it was even built and trusted the blueprints. Mark helped us out front start to finish. I also 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

My wife and I were recently married at The Shadowbrook. Our experience was incredible, from the first phone call we made to book a meeting , to the day after our wedding. Mark was 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!

Our wedding was held on 4/10/21 after almost a year of rescheduling 4 times due to covid. Most people would think this was a nightmare but honestly the staff at the shadowbrook made 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!

We had our wedding at the Shadowbrook on 12/8/2018. I am writing this review 5 months later and I still don’t think I have the proper words to express how spectacular our wedding was. 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!

We had our wedding reception at the Shadowbrook and we could not be happier! From the minute we walked in our first time, we fell in love and knew that it would be the perfect venue 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!

If I could give Shadowbrook 10 stars I would! I had my wedding 10.26.2018. I don’t know where to start, from the very beginning to the end everything was perfect. The staff was amazing 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!!

My now husband and I walked into the Shadowbrook for the first time in January of 2017- we met with Mark that first visit and were immediately impressed by him, the space, and menu. 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!!

We had our daughter's wedding at the Shadowbrook last week and all I can say is there is absolutely no better place to have a wedding. There really are no words to explain how perfect 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!

I do not even know where to begin. We got married here last weekend and it was absolutely perfect. When we first walked into the Shadowbrook I knew that would be where I would be getting 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.

The Shadowbrook made my wedding the best day of my life! Amy was fantastic to work with in booking and planning! Carl and Stephanie were AMAZING the day of; we couldn’t have done it without you guys!

Oh my gosh. We got married at the shadowbrook this past Sunday, August 19,2018. From the moment we met with Amy last year, there was absolutely no question this would be where we wanted 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.

Our daughter got married at the Shadowbrook three weeks ago. It was simply AMAZING!!! the cocktail hour was by far the best I have ever been to. Our guests are still talking about 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!!

There is no way to put into words how beautiful of a wedding that the Shadowbrook puts together. Amy was a pleasure to work with throughout the whole process- making it easy and stress 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.

We absolutely loved our entire experience with the Shadowbrook for our July 2018 wedding! The character and charm won us over when selecting a venue. But the professionalism and 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!

We had our wedding here in July 2018 and the entire event was spectacular! We received many rave reviews on the food (especially the cocktail hour and Viennese dessert addition which 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!!

Wow! Shadowbrook truly delivered our dream wedding in every single aspect possible. From the start of the wedding planning process to the final moments of the wedding night, the team 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.

Incredible! My wife and I had the amazing privilege of hosting our reception at the Shadowbrook. Words cannot describe how perfect the night was. I have never seen a staff that was 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

The Shadowbrook truly provided my husband and I with the wedding of our dreams. Every single person that assisted my parents, husband and I were unbelievably professional and on top 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!!

I got married at Shadowbrook in May. My husband and I keep saying that we want one of our friends to also get married here so we can experience the magic all over again. We planned 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.

My daughter had wedding at shadowbok on January 27.,2018. we always knew this venue had impeccable reputation. It was better than we expected. Amy was so button down and professional 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.

We had a June wedding at the Shadowbrook in 2017, and it was perfect! We have been to over a dozen weddings in the last two years, and I can confidently say that our cocktail hour 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!

My husband Marc and I cannot say enough about our November 17th wedding at the Shadowbrook. This was the first venue we saw, and I knew after seeing three more than anything else would 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!

e planned our NYE wedding with Mark, Dan, Amy and all of the Shadowbrook family for the last year. The level of detail, professionalism and care for each bride and groom expressed 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)!!!

My December wedding was a dream come true! The holiday decor is absolutely stunning. My guests cannot stop raving about cocktail hour and the amazing food and staff. Carl and Stephanie 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!

WOW. Our wedding at the Shadowbrook was an absolute dream and then some. We started off working with Amy who was always so nice and easy to get in touch with and communicate with. 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!

There is no reason to not have your wedding here. The entire staff goes above and beyond. Request to work with Carl and have Stephanie as your attendant - they are professional but 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!

We worked with Amy for the initial planning. She was always friendly and helpful. When I had a question, I would email. As often as not, my phone would ring with Amy on the other end 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.

If I could give higher than 5 stars, I would. We worked with Amy from the start. When she said that we don't have to worry about a thing, she was spot on. If you are looking for a 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!!

This place was UNBELIEVABLE,hands down the best time I've ever had in my life. The food was amazing, all of the guests were blown away, and they literally treat you like a VIP with your own secret service. Unreal , 4 months later and we still get compliments. Amazing!

Words will never be able to truly describe how amazing Shadowbrook and staff are. Our wedding was an absolute dream come true and I would give anything to relive it! Our guests are still raving about how gorgeous the venue itself is as well as how delicious the food was. Dan and Amy were wonderful throughout the whole planning process and were extremely understanding of a nervous out of state bride. Matt and Stephanie made sure that the day/night went as smooth as possible and the attention that was given to us and our family will never be forgotten!

We cannot THANK the staff of Shadowbrook at Shrewsbury enough for our incredible dream-come-true Wedding! We were so impressed by the incredible people who made our Wedding so perfect! Mark, Dan, and Amy were so helpful in the planning of our wedding reception and reassured us that everything would be great – and it was better than we could have ever imagined! Stephanie and Matt were so attentive and helped us along each step of the way on our day, we had no stress at all and we could enjoy every single moment. Matt and Stephanie – you truly are amazing! You were so professional and supportive throughout the entire evening. The cocktail hour was just overwhelming. We received calls and messages from our guests for weeks afterward raving about the food. Dinner was just perfect and the Viennese Dessert Hour was like a dream! Overall, the food at Shadowbrook was exceptional and the service and bar staff were a delight! We highly recommend the Shadowbrook at Shrewsbury – and hope we can get invited to a wedding there sometime soon!! 😊

jjjjjjjj

The moment we drove up to the Shadowbrook we knew that we had found our venue! Not only is the venue itself absolutely stunning... but the staff was extremely accommodating & the service was top notch! We were in contact with Amy, Danny and Mark (the owner) throughout the entire process, & they were always attentive to all of our questions, concerns & requests. From day one we had our hearts set on having both our ceremony & cocktail hour in the outdoor garden area knowing that this could be greatly affected by the weather. Leading up the wedding they were in constant contact with us & assured us that they would do everything in their power to help our vision come to life. Unfortunately the morning of our wedding the forecast called for very high temperatures & a chance of rain... we were forced to move our cocktail hour indoors. We lucked out & were able to have a beautiful, romantic outdoor ceremony. The cocktail hour was not what we had originally pictured in our heads, instead it exceeded all of our expectations!!! They displayed all of the food (beautifully) indoors & opened up the french doors on both sides of the mansion so that our guests were free to eat/drink on the tables outside, listen to our band & explore the gardens. Stephanie was my bridal attendant & Matt was our maitre d' and they were both amazing... accommodating every possible need! It was actually like they were reading our minds the whole night! Our guests are still raving about every aspect of our wedding! The food is out of this world, the service is unmatched, & there were so many tiny details that just set this apart from any other wedding we've been to. From providing our guests with cool, scented towels after the ceremony, to the fresh mozzarella cheese being made in front of our guests, to the shots being passed out on the dance floor (as per our request)! We could not say enough good things about this place! Thank you to everyone for an absolutely amazing, flawless wedding!

Danny, Mark, Amy, Matt and Stephanie and the rest of the staff all did a phenomenal job from start to finish!! We fell in love with the old world charm of the building and from the time we booked to our wedding date things only changed for the better with updates throughout the property that just made things even more beautiful! Throughout the process Amy never got annoyed despite my thousand and one questions! They accommodated all of our requests without a bat of an eye and made sure to take care of everything the day of so we didn't need a day of event planner. We ended up deciding to join our guests during cocktail hour and we were very happy we did because we got to eat and enjoy all of the food! Everyone always says you never eat at your own wedding - but thanks to Stephanie this certainly wasn't the case throughout the evening! We got to taste everything - all of the food was excellent! Our guests are still raving how extensive cocktail hour and the Viennese hour were. The service was also top notch - the tables were spotless and the shots & drinks were endless - we did not go a moment without drinks in our hands. We had so many people come up and tell us this was the best wedding they've ever been to. Thank you for everything you guys did to make it a fairy tale wedding for us! We will definitely be back! :)

When my husband and I first started looking at venues we decided we wanted to look at no more than five halls. The Shadowbrook was number six. We are so glad that we decided to look at one more! When we first toured the hall they were still in the process of making a few renovations. After speaking with Mark, Dan and Amy we knew we were in good hands and trusted that they finished product would blow us away. The estate is spectacular and every inch is kept in pristine condition. They kept in touch with us every step of the way and were always available. By the time our wedding day came, I felt like they were old friends. Everything about our reception was absolutely fantastic. The place is run like a well-oiled machine. The staff is constantly in communication with one another via earpieces and knew when we had to be where. Our guests were blown away by the cocktail hour and still devoured their entrées. The maître d, Matthew, was extremely attentive and went out of his way to cater to my mother in law the whole night and made her feel really special. My bridal attendant, Victoria, was my absolute favorite person in the world that day. She was cool, calm and collected the whole night and her attitude put me at ease. She did everything! My wine glass was always full, my dress was fluffy and I was able to enjoy the night. I hope that I get to attend a wedding there as a guest one day so I can really soak it all in. To be honest, there is no shortage of wedding venues in New Jersey. You can find a dance floor anywhere. You can’t always find GOOD people who are passionate and knowledgeable about what they do. This can make all the difference in the world.

Shadowbrook at Shrewsbury exceeded all of our expectations. Our wedding was absolutely perfect! We are still hearing from our guests, 2 months later, about how great the service and food were! We wouldn't have changed a single thing!

Everything was 100% PERFECT. After our wedding I even received a "thank you" card from one of our guests, because the food and service were both so good. My only complaint is that they are SO on top of it, they kicked us out on time for the next wedding while we were still having so much fun but I get it :)( they did have a wedding 1 hour later). .

Just had our wedding on March 18 and could not have asked for anything more. From the very beginning, the staff at the Shadowbrook did everything they could to make sure we had the best day ever. Everyone was so professional and easy to work with. On the day of, our maitre d and bridal attendant were absolutely phenomenal, anticipating our needs before we even knew what we needed. And the food. Oh my. Beyond words. Everyone was floored by the cocktail hour and the dinner that followed was just as good, the only complaint we heard was that people were running out of room in their bellys to eat everything. They really did everything to make it a magical night and could not have asked for anything more.

From our very first meeting until our wedding day, the staff at Shadowbrook has been the most professional and helpful in executing our wedding vision. Our guests were blown away by the amazing and endless food and the charm of the grounds. The maitre'd and bridal attendant were there helping the whole night run smoothly. We had booked an evening winter wedding in the oak room with cocktail hour in the other halls/rooms. It ended up being a very warm day and we were able to utilize the grounds for outdoor pictures. Would highly recommend The Shadowbrook for anyone looking for an elegant venue, incredible and plentiful food and drinks, and a stellar staff to execute your event!

We cannot even begin to express the appreciation we have for the owners and staff at Shadowbrook. If we were to choose 1 word to describe our wedding day it would be “magical”. Jimmy was an absolute pleasure to work with and really took the time to review all the details with us to ensure our wedding day was flawless. Dan and Mark were not only so helpful but so nice! The day before our wedding, November 17th, we received a phone call that they recommend our wedding ceremony be outside IN NOVEMBER (expected to be in the low 60s which was rare)! They were so confident it was the right choice they happily set-up the entire outside with flowers, heat lamps, and torches after it was already disassembled for winter. The thought and work they put into our ceremony was above and beyond! We so appreciated there every effort to make the day so memorable. The outside ceremony was simply breathtaking (they were right). Matt and Stephanie, OMG! They were SAINTS! They were always 10 steps ahead of us and knew what we were going to need or ask before we even did. Our bridal party (who have been in a ton of weddings) were in awe at how attentive they were the entire day. They were blown away! During the reception the staff was impeccable. My grandfather asked if we paid the staff extra to follow him around to make sure he was good (we did not pay extra). That is how GREAT the service was! Beyond the service and staff you will get the most amazing and high quality food there is to offer. Everything from the cocktail hour to the main course to the dessert was flawless. They even made special touches to fit our preferences like an IPA bar and gator bites! The venue itself was also gorgeous with the stunning details inside and out. As beautiful as this venue was it somehow still felt warm and inviting. We were absolutely BLOWN AWAY by how incredible our wedding was. It was above and beyond what we ever imagined. THANK YOU AGAIN from the bottom of our hearts for treating us like royalty and family. ~Nicole & Steven 11/18/16~

One Word: INCREDIBLE. That is the best way to describe everything about this venue. We got married on 9/25/2016 and from the time we went to tour this place through the day of our wedding we couldn’t have been more thrilled with everything about, and everything involved in having our wedding here. Everything they said they would deliver they not only met our expectations but greatly exceeded them. On the day we booked our date, we were somewhat nervous that we’d “only” have 8-9 months to plan everything. Mark and Amy told us not to worry that they would help us find our vendors and be there to help us every step of the way. And when they followed through with that it just put our minds at ease that we were in good hands. We knew we could trust them and that’s important. Mark, Danny, Amy and the entire Shadowbrook staff are extremely professional, responsive, easy to work with and even though they are extremely busy, they do the little things and go the extra mile to make sure you feel important. They all came to see us on the day of our wedding and congratulate us. All of the little details they make sure to pay attention to and that’s before we ever talk about anything relating to the actual day of the wedding. So let’s get to that: first, the venue is absolutely gorgeous and the recently finished remodeling has given the place an extra touch of class. We had our ceremony and cocktail hour outside and it was simply stunning, we can’t wait to get our pictures back. The ballroom looked amazing and intimate. One other thing to point out is that a lot of brides and grooms don’t fully get to enjoy the experience of their big day because they’re running around busy, greeting guests, etc. Shadowbrook made sure that we got some time to ourselves to step back and enjoy it all and that was really appreciated. Quality of Service – unbelievable. Our guests are still raving about not only how much food there was at the cocktail hour, but also the quality of it. Some of guests told us it was the best food they’ve had at a wedding. During the reception, they have a dedicated server at every table meaning that no one went to long without a drink and didn’t always have to go up to the bar to get one. Everything about Shadowbrook and the staff is first class. We’d like to thank Mark, Danny, Amy, our Maitre D, bridal attendant, and entire Shadowbrook staff for making our day even better then we possibly could have imagined. We will be forever grateful.

The Shadowbrook exceeded all of my expectations! From day one I felt taken care of. The food was amazing and all of my guests said it was the best food they've ever had at a wedding. Our maitre'd took care of everything and made the nigh run smoothly (and my bridal attendant was super attendant). I enjoyed the entire night and was never worried about anything going wrong. Down to the smallest detail, the Shadowbrook was there to make sure you had a wedding night that was special to you and memorable for guests.

When we began venue searching, we came across Shadowbrook. We immediately fell in love with historical, Victorian charm. After a few ups and downs with changes being made to the venue, we couldn't be happier with the way our wedding turned out. Mark made sure we were happy every step of the way and went out of his way to learn about our food likes and dislikes. Brittany, our bridal attendant, and Matt, our Maitre d' were absolutely phenomenal. They were on top of everything the day of the wedding and made sure all of the pictures we wanted to take before the wedding were taken. They were a step ahead and made sure everything was perfect. The food was absolutely amazing. I generally do not enjoy food at weddings; however, the food was absolutely fantastic. The service was impeccable. We couldn't ask for a more beautiful, perfect venue. If we were given the opportunity to have our wedding again, we wouldn't change a thing! Shadowbrook is a truly one of a kind place!

I really do not know where to begin. Our experience with Shadowbrook was fantastic in every way. My husband and I could not have been happier with everything!! The planning process: Shadowbrook was so great during the entire process. Jana was always so helpful answering random questions we had (and we had quite a few), and it really put us at ease. Amy and Mark were also great when we were directed to them. Mark was also very helpful with the menu. The wedding day: Danny was so organized and again, put us immediately at ease. He was so professional, and we immediately felt confident that everything was under control. He worked with our vendors to make sure everything was set up correctly and would run seamlessly - which it did!! We are so grateful for all of his help and for taking all of the stress off of us! Brittany (the bridal attendant) was also incredible! She was by our side the entire day. My husband and I did not have to worry about a thing! Every time we needed her for something she was there. My bridesmaids and I could not get over how helpful she was and how we would have been lost without her. Professional and so sweet, it was like she read our minds the entire day. Brittany, thank you so much for everything! Ceremony: We had our ceremony outside, and it was so beautiful. The garden is so well kept (which we knew from the first moment that we saw it). Cocktail hour: After the ceremony, Brittany brought my husband and me upstairs to the bridal suite while the guests and bridal party started downstairs. She brought up a wide selection of food just for us. We went down for the second half of cocktail hour where we got to mingle with our guests. I'm sure you can handle cocktail hour however you like, but we took Shadowbrook's suggestion and went up for the first half. It was such a memorable part of our night. We were glowing after the ceremony and it was so nice to take 30 minutes to just be alone with one another and take everything in! Also, once we got down to the cocktail hour, we were happily overwhelmed with seeing everyone and would probably not have had much food otherwise. So many of our guests said that the cocktail hour spread was remarkable; a few guests did not realize there was dinner afterward since there was just so much food! Reception: SO MUCH FUN and it just flew by. There was plenty of room for our band and still lots of room on the dance floor! (Side note: The ASAP band was incredible. The energy they brought to the reception was like nothing else - so many people told us they never saw so many guests up on the dance floor). The bar was regal and a fun spot for guests. The food and service was also great, as expected! After the wedding: We are still receiving compliments from guests RAVING about the wedding! It's such a great feeling to know our family and friends had such an amazing time. From the food and drinks, to the service, to the beautiful estate and grounds, we are still glowing!

If I could pick one word to describe our wedding experience at the Shadowbrook, it would be phenomenal. When we got engaged in 2014 this was the first venue we looked at and instantly fell in love with the charm, and vintage elements of the early 20th century mansion. Amy was so helpful in booking our date and making sure any questions we had were answered. When new ownership took place, our experience became even more enhanced. Mark was thorough and took great care to ensure all the planning made our day flawless. He worked with us to draft a seating plan and menu options. On the day of our wedding Brittany, our bridal attendant helped us feel like royalty. She was extremely attentive to our needs, making sure we had champange and food in our bridal suite, she assisted with my veil and dress during pictures and was a life saver when a bit of make-up got on my dress. Our guests are still raving about the beauty, class and delicious food at the Shadowbrook! They will remain a family venue that we return to for years to come!

Words can not even begin to describe the experience that the Shadowbrook provides. My husband and I had our wedding at the Shadowbrook in July. I am the absolute hardest person to please and I am EXTREMELY particular. The Shadowbrook absolutely blew me away in terms of their service, attention to detail, and the quality of their food. I had booked with the original owners in June of 2014. And when I received the news of new ownership I was very nervous. The Shadowbrook is a very classic estate and has a very particular charm to it, I was nervous that under the new owner ship the renovations would cause the venue to lose that charm. I had periodically visited to see the updates and they were fantastic. The new owners helped restore the mansion in a way that made it 100 times better than it was when we first booked. The day of the wedding it was an absolute tortential downpour, the weather was horrible, but once every one was inside the cocktail hour that was quickly forgotten. The food was in such abundance and such high quality my guests were besides themselves. Room after room after room FILLED with every type of food you can imagine. Every type of h'ors dourves you could think of was passed. The ice luge with every type of liquor to chill your shot, the exquisite sushi display and the room filled with an Italian feast are just a FEW of the stations we had at our cocktail hour. The seated dinner was phenomenal, our guests could not believe how amazing every tasted. All of their food is such amazing quality. The most outstanding was the vienese hour. My guests were saying they walked into Willy Wanka's chocolate factory. Chocolate fountains, every type of cookie, cake, pastry and cordial was served. Crepes, waffles, ice cream and gelato carts, cotton candy, pop corn, just to name a few. It was a completely unreal experience. Aside from the absolute over the top phenomenal food, the service is exquisite. The Maitre Brittany was on another level as was the bridal attendant Stephanie. Everytime I turned around she had a fresh drink waiting for me and my husband. She had plates of every type of food offered at cocktail hour set aside for us so that we didn't miss anything, same for the vienese hour. The both of them were absolutely phenomenal and could not have provided better service. Each table in the ballroom had their own server. Our guests didn't need to leave their table, except of course to dance. The servers brought them their drinks, took their orders, brought them shots. What ever our guests wanted, the servers took care of it. I have never been to a wedding where the service was so on point and so accomodating for guests. The Shadowbrook at Shrewsbury knows how to host an event. The new owners worked with us to ensure all of our requests were met and went above and beyond to make sure that we were pleased. If I could do it all over again I wouldn't go anywhere else. This venue and the owners are top notch. I am praying that a friend gets married there so I can go back and experience it all over again. The grounds and gardens are beautiful and had it not been a monsoon outside we would have had our cocktail our and photos outside. This venue is so gorgeous and has so much to offer. It truly wish we could do it all over again!!

We booked the Shadowbrook back in October 2014 with the original owners. I loved the vintage look and feel. Also, my parents had their reception there back in 1979 so the history behind it really attracted us to the venue. When I found out about the new owners, I was definitely concerned that those details that I fell in love with would be taken away. For the two years leading up to our wedding day, we would often visit to see the progression of the changes. By the time we got married in June 2016, the renovations had subsided and we were so impressed. The updates were definitely necessary but enhanced all those feelings I felt the first time we saw the venue back in 2014. The new owners still kept that old world charm but brought the Shadowbrook to life. On the day of our wedding, we had the most perfect weather. Our ceremony/cocktail hour were outside and everything surpassed our expectations. The food was absolutely PHENOMENAL and the service was out of this world. Danny made us feel like celebrities and made sure that everything went perfect that day. My bridal attendants were so helpful and attentive and really took any stress away. The operations of this venue are absolutely impeccable. The staff worked so well together and really made sure it was the perfect day. Our friends and family are still raving about it!! It was the best day of our lives and we cannot thank the staff enough for helping our dreams become a reality.

Our guests' experience mattered more to us than our own, and they were THRILLED! We received so many compliments on the food, place, and service. Everyone commented about how beautiful the mansion and grounds looked - "like a dream"! Everything was meticulously maintained and nothing short of spectacular (note they've refreshed much of the place, including stunning marble floors). As for food, most people enjoyed cocktail hour so much, they couldn't even finish their dinners - although everyone took at least a bite and commented that the food was top notch. We were also stuffed from cocktail hour so couldn't eat much but made it a point to try everything on our table and loved it all. Our salads were crisp and fresh, mains absolutely delicious, and each dish just looked fabulous! We were in our suite for most of cocktail hour so checked in with our guests (especially outspoken family members :)) on food variety and speed of service - amazing feedback all around. As for service, our guests were pleasantly surprised by the level of attention - one of my husband's friends joked that as he turned around during dinner to look at something beyond his table, one of the servers rushed to check if he needed anything. This is exactly what I wanted to hear from my guests! We also had a fantastic experience working with everyone, starting with amazing Amy! The very sweet and generous owner met with us early on during planning finalization to tie out some details and share advice - very detail oriented and helpful, even advised on dietary restrictions by dish! We met with Maitre D Jerry a few days before the wedding to drop off wedding items and review the final plan - we LOVED him! Very easy to deal with and insightful - took care of every detail and all of our requests (surprise for groom mid-reception, add'l groom's dessert with special service instructions, etc.). Jerry managed the whole event and staff flawlessly. Similarly, bridal attendant Brittany was Super Woman - she took her job very seriously (and sweetly!) and took incredible care of us throughout the day. We were in our suite after the ceremony for most of cocktail hour and she made sure to bring up multiple rounds of food so we can try most dishes (impossible to try all upstairs) + emergency spot cleaning when I spilled some food :). She shadowed us throughout the night, making sure we looked perfect for all photos and didn't need a thing. At the end of the night, she packed everything for us and made our families' jobs so much easier! Fantastic service all around - we couldn't have picked a better venue and team!

Our wedding at the Shadowbrook in August of 2015 was above and beyond what we could have ever imaged! We booked our wedding around the time of the change in ownership, and were incredibly pleased with the professional and helpful staff. The already gorgeous grounds and building were transformed into a more modern take on this historic estate between our first trip there and our wedding day. Our ceremony was performed on-site in gorgeous gardens which transformed into a backdrop of our monogram for the guests to view from the reception. The cocktail hour was overflowing with spectacular displays of food and drinks, and our guests marveled at how delicious and perfect everything was. We were able to quickly take care of pictures and our bridal assistant Brittany made sure that we had time to ourselves in our bridal suite to sample EVERY bit of food that our guests were dining on. We then joined our guests towards the last half of the cocktail hour, and neither us or our guests wanted it to end! Our reception was held in the Oak Room, which was newly outfitted with marble floors to replace the carpeting that was previously there. Our florist worked with the Shadowbrook closely to cover the chandeliers in flowers, and to outline the room with tea lights to create the classic warm feeling room that I had envisioned. The reception was again full of delicious foods, from the appetizers to the desserts. There is no shortage of food, and to top it off, the food is some of the best I have ever had at a wedding. The caring staff including Brittany, Danny, Jerry and Mark made sure to make us feel like they were as invested in the success of our event as if it were their own wedding. There were no issues, no complaints, nothing I would have changed about the day. I couldn't be happier with our decision to hold both our ceremony and our reception at the Shadowbrook and would highly recommend it to everyone looking for a wedding venue in NJ.

We decided to go look at Shadowbrook because we knew people that have got married at The Venetian as well as Seasons and were blown away by their service and great food. When we heard the same owners bought Shadowbrook we knew we had to go look! The renovations were being started when we went and they still had a lot to do. Mark told us everything would be done by the time we got married and he was right. It looks amazing, such a great transformation. Mark and Yana were such a pleasure to work with! When we arrived at Shadowbrook we were greeted by Brittany and Danny. I can not say enough about both of them they were beyond amazing!! Amazing venue, staff and service! We could not of picked a better place to get married.

We got married in Shadowbrook on Sunday April 3, 2016. Hands down the best wedding we can ever imagine. Even our guests kept raving about Shadowbrook and up until now we still get feedback how it was the best wedding ever. It had the charm that we were looking for. We wanted something cozy, has that old world charm, classy and different from all the other wedding venues in New Jersey. We booked with the previous owners of Shadowbrook so when we heard that it was sold we were worried but our apprehensions went away when we found out the owners of Venetian took over. They did such an amazing job with the renovations. The place now has more glitz and glam with the old world charm which exactly fit our style and exactly what we were looking for. The place is perfect! The grounds were gorgeous and I'm so happy that even if it was cold and windy we were still able to take gorgeous pictures outside. We are so thankful to Mark and Danny coz they thought and gave us the downstairs room for our ceremony since our wedding band needed more than an hour and a half to set up at the oak room. Even if I had hoped for an outside ceremony, our inside ceremony turned out to be perfect as well. Now the food!! Best wedding food ever! I'm saying this not because it is our wedding but we have been to many weddings before but this is by far the best. Me and my husband are certified foodies so trust me on this one. Our guests were blown away by the food during our cocktail hour. It was overflowing with amazing food. It had anything and everything you can think of. Amazing display and passed hors d'oeuvre. I had chateaubriand for dinner and it was perfectly cooked like how i want it, medium rare, tender and flavorful. The vintage bar is one of my favorites! They kept the look which we love. We enjoyed the bar and so did our guests. ;) Lastly, at the end of the day it's the service that matters the most. Brittany was an amazing bridal attendant. She made me feel comfortable right away, knows exactly what she's doing and I wasn't wrong when i trusted the she has all our needs under control. Danny is great to work with also. He is available for us at all times and he is an expert at what he does. Jana and Amy are also great. I would hear back from them right away whenever I have questions and concerns. They are easy to get in touch with and made me feel at ease from the day we booked up until our wedding day. We are very pleased and very much satisfied with our experience. We had the wedding of our dreams at the Shadowbrook.

From the second that we walked into Shadowbrook, we knew we had found our venue. The entire place is stunning, matching old world charm with careful updates. During the planning process we worked with Amy and Dan, both of whom were extremely helpful, not to mention friendly. All of our questions were answered, and all of our special requests were accommodated. Now, 2 weeks after our wedding, we are still having people reach out to us to say that we had the best wedding they have ever been to and they want to have their weddings at Shadowbrook. The abundance and quality of the food was incomparable. The cocktail hour was spread throughout multiple rooms, and everything was delicious. The service was that of a 5 star restaurant, and the Viennese hour, which opened with a fire show, is making
