Sterling Ballroom at the DoubleTree Tinton Falls

off without a hitch. The guests couldn’t stop raving about the food and how beautiful the space was. I wish I could do it all over again.

with a little over a year to plan and Allison and staff never missed a beat when it came to being in touch with us when we reached out. The service and food were absolutely amazing and people who attended are still talking about it.

about the food

again, because it was such an awesome experience. I did not feel stressed at all. She, along with her staff accommodated every request and guided me along the way. Allison made sure that I was happy throughout the process and made me feel comfortable asking my millions of questions. She answered all emails quickly, so I never was waiting and wondering. Nemo was also incredible to work with. I am extremely easygoing and really didn't have a plan for the ceremony, nor really know how to plan for one. He gave me the best suggestions and made sure everything ran smoothly. During the night he was constantly around and checking in and making sure everything from the temperature of the room to the ligthing to the food aand services was exceeding expectations. My only hope is that someone else I know has a wedding at the Sterling Ballroom so I can attend as a guest! An extra perk was having the hotel attached to the venue where we were able to continue the party at the bar for a little then enjoy a nice breakfast in the morning! I could not have asked for a better experience and I cannot even stop thinking about our favorite day! Again, if you have the chance to work with Allison, Nemo, and The Sterling Ballroom you will not be disappointed!

al day. They did an amazing job and I highly recommend them for any event.

married here in September 2021, to say that the organization of their wedding day was HORRIFIC! Their Maître D' was aptly named Nemo, because we spent the entire evening looking for him after everyone was introduced into the reception! Dinner was delayed OVER AN HOUR and he blamed the delay on his waitstaff and said how they weren't doing their jobs. Well, that would pretty much be because the Maitre D' was not in the room directing them as the Maitre D' is supposed to do!!!! I am in the business and had a discussion with him along with the mother of the bride. He gave us some song and dance about how he had to go get liquor from the liquor storage and that took over an hour. About 15 minutes after our discussion, he pulled the mother of the bride aside to assure her I didn't know what I was talking about, and he did a FANTASTIC job, her one son had to stop in the hallway to be sure she was ok because of the manner Nemo was talking to her. I had emailed the General Manager, Brooke Gordon and the Catering Sales Director, Allison McCarthy on Sunday, October 10, it is now November 6 and I have not heard a single word from them on how they plan on responding. My cousin had to postpone her wedding FIVE TIMES, they gave her a hard time, but they were finally able to have the wedding in September. My cousin was also told if they didn't do it then, they were going to lose all the money they put down on the wedding (their original date was 2 weeks after lockdown, so final payment had already been made). STAY AWAY FROM THIS HOTEL AND BANQUET FACILITY - THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT YOU OR YOUR GUESTS - THEY JUST WANT THE TIP AND THE MONEY FOR THE BANQUET AHEAD OF TIME TO GIVE YOU CRAPPY SERVICE AND BE OBNOXIOUS! On top of the fact, the 1 bartender was wearing leggings and a pullover jacket behind the bar, with her hair sloppy all up on top of her head. The other 2 bartenders were wearing jeans and different golf shirts, not a uniform I would expect for a wedding banquet. Some of the servers did not look professional with shirts hanging out and vests unbuttoned. If it was not for their DJ (a true professional), the photographers would have missed the parent dances (Nemo sent the photographers out of the room to take a 15 minute break and then started parent dances without them - the DJ ran out in the hall to find them so they could document the occasion!) I wonder if this new review will make them respond to me or the mother of the bride for their Maitre D's behavior - although I do doubt it. Next stop, HILTON CORPORATE!!!! I wanted to give them no stars, but it wouldn't let me do that, 1 star is a GRACIOUS rating.

ve all are gust and no dancing. And personally I don’t feel comfortable with having that many people in one place. We asked them if we could cancel they told us we would own them 75%. We got an attorney. Our attorney sent them a letter and it’s been over a month and we have not heard back from them. If we do not hear back from them I am going to go to the newspaper and blast them all over. I want is my money back.

passion she puts into her job and her couples and always makes us feel so excited and stress-free. We had to postpone our wedding date to 2021 due to COVID-19 which was so difficult and emotional, but she helped make it such a smooth process and did not give us the runaround at all. We cannot wait to celebrate safely with our guests next year (hopefully without masks) and just want to thank Reena for all that she has done for us.

ready for what was next in our planning journey. Even on the day of the wedding she was always there, making sure every detail was smoothed our. Nemo was phenomenal and kind-hearted. Without him, the pressure of making sure everything was timed perfectly would have been so stressful! Everyone was so genuinely helpful and friendly, from the director to the servers to the head chef. EVERYONE! I am so blown away, I feel like I couldn’t possibly thank everyone enough. I will recommend Double Tree to everyone I know, just so I can attend more weddings there!

fashion, and they will constantly be in contact with you to go over your event. The atmosphere is beautiful, the food is delicious, and the set up was perfect! My guests cannot stop raving about the food! I am beyond thankful that I had my wedding here, I could not of asked for a better place!

room and knew immediately this was our dream venue!! The food was AMAZING and you get sooooooo much for your pricing! The cocktail hour was tremendous with so many unique personalizations. My guests haven’t stopped raving about it!! The entrees were amazing — totally not your “average wedding food”. Many of my guests have told me this was one of the few weddings they thoroughly enjoyed their entree at. The venue is local to a bunch of great picture stops (we went to Monmouth University and loved it). Guests also loved the convenience of staying at the hotel after. Our wedding ended at 10:30 and we all partied in the hotel bar until about 2am. Most importantly- Reena and Sue are a DREAM to work with! I worked with Reena most often. She was extremely accommodating, professional, fun, and the best spirit to work with! I never felt stressed out when working with her. She has such a contagious positive energy that we always looked forward to when going to the hall. We even had a few issues with our contract from a previous employee that we booked with and when I brought them to Reenas attention she immediately apologized and corrected everything- didnt give me the runaround at all. On the day of the wedding, the Matri’d Nemo was so professional I literally didn’t worry about a single thing and trusted him 100%, and everything came PERFECT! This venue was absolutely above and beyond amazing!!

it staff was too. The food was AMAING!

ndly and accommodating. Highly recommended!

al, helpful, and reassuring whenever we had questions or concerns. Reena went above and beyond for us, contacting corporate to get approval for certain things we wanted at our reception. Sue raced through the hotel five minutes before the ceremony (in a blouse she wore specifically for us, because it had details that matched our wedding theme) hunting down a pair of white flip flops for me to wear since I couldn't walk in heels anymore. These two women are rockstars and I wish we could get married over and over just to have the opportunity to work with them again! Nemo, the Maitre D, took our wedding vision and brought it to life better than we imagined. Some people may find it difficult to hand over all their items (centerpieces, signage, decorations etc) to someone else and trust they will follow instructions perfectly, but I PROMISE you cannot do better than Nemo! The team at the Sterling Ballroom made it too easy for us, and allowed us to really enjoy the last few days leading up to the big event without having to feel rushed or stressed. We happened to get married on an unexpectedly hot afternoon, and even Missy from the front desk came out with water during our family photos to make sure everyone was doing okay! THE FOOD IS AMAZING. Our guests have not stopped raving about it for nearly a month and we are begging our engaged friends to choose The Sterling Ballroom so we can fully take advantage of all the food we missed at our own wedding! Although Nemo did bring plates up to our room for us to enjoy afterwards :) You really can't do better than The Sterling Ballroom! What are you waiting for?! :) :) :)

mazing throughout the entire planning process before the big day. They were always so positive and helpful with answering any and all questions we had! Nemo was wonderfully helpful from our first meeting with him as we dropped all of our decor and day-of items off, and was constantly present and asking us if we needed anything throughout the night. Our guests could not stop complimenting the venue and food. All in all we had an amazing time and literally could not have asked for anything more. They really went above and beyond to make our day as perfect as it was! Would definitely recommend!!

estions and they were very friendly, professional and accommodating. We were married on 9/20/19 and they made it so memorable. The venue, and food and beverage offerings were top notch. Not to mention, the staff working the event were first class. If you get a chance to work with our Maître D, Nemo he will not disappoint. He is there for whatever you need and when you need it. I am thoroughly impressed with our experience and the whole team. Please get in contact with Reena and Sue ASAP for your wedding inquiries, they really made ours an unforgettable one!

our wedding and want you to have the best time . They don’t miss a beat ! They work hard to make your budget work for you ! I never felt like I had to cut corners , they made sure I had everything I could have wanted! Right up until I was about to walk down the aisle they were checking in ! Aside from the amazing food and drinks, the ballroom was set up exactly how I imagined, even better ! I had the absolute best time at our wedding! If I could do it all over again I would still choose them ! A huge thank you to the dynamic duo Reena and Sue ! And not to leave out Nemo who set up our beautiful ceremony and reception !!

literally within minutes.  They are the most caring, accommodating, and kind people you could ever meet.  They truly will do everything in their power to make sure your day is perfect. I cannot say enough about how amazing they are.  Nemo helped us with all of the set up and made sure everything ran smooth the day of the wedding.  He did a phenomenal job and ran around like a maniac to make sure we always had a drink and were always happy.  All of our guests raved about the food, the service, and how beautiful the ceremony area and the reception room were.  These people gave us our dream wedding and we really cannot say enough good things about them.  Reena, Sue, and Nemo are truly amazing at what they do and we are so so happy that we chose the Sterling Ballroom!

yone complimented how everything from the food to the cake to the lights was perfect. I thank Reena and staff for making my fairly tale wedding come true!! We could not have asked for a more perfect venue. All guests stated this was definitely the wedding of the year. Just Fabulous!! We definitely appreciate you guys (Reena, Sue, and Nemo)!!

something more joyous! Reena & Sue are the best there is!! I must have asked a zillion questions, some multiple times, and they were always willing to help and answer them each and every time! They helped me make sure every detail needed was taken care of. The entire staff at the Double Tree of Tinton Falls & Sterling Ballroom were helpful, courteous and very friendly. We HIGHLY recommend using this location for your wedding, sweet 16 or any party! Thank you again to Reena & Sue!!! Kevin & Kristine

t. They offer great packages that include bonuses such as extra appetizers served during the cocktail hour and an ice cream / sundae station for dessert. We felt the package we chose was reasonable for everything they offered, and within this package was much flexibility to personalize our event. The Doubletree definitely delivered on the day of the wedding. The tables were set beautifully, the uplighting was atmospheric, and the bar was generous. Several guests remarked that ours was the best wedding they ever attended. Thank you Doubletree At Hilton for an extraordinary experience!

fully. Every detail was thought out. We also stayed in a beautiful suite the night of our wedding. Thank you for making our day so special.

was affordable! Another huge selling point for us was that they only do one wedding a night, so they really put all their time and focus on making your night perfect and making you feel special. You can make your package as simple or as extravagant as you want. Our experience turned out to be completely amazing, thanks to the help of Reena, Sue, and Nemo our maitre de (to name a few). The food was fantastic, amazing service from the staff, and the rooms are beautiful and clean.
