About this vendor
On a hilltop in Totowa, New Jersey, before it was an event venue, the previous owner was quite the collector; he salvaged hospital columns, transit-hall ironwork, even World's Fair stone, weaving them into headquarters.
Decades later, we kept the soul, added the comforts, and opened it to celebrations and gatherings. We called it The Chariot.
The moment you pass the gates, history meets you with pier chains from the Hudson that were worked into the landscape, Barnert Hospital marble at the threshold, and a reclaimed iron door from the Paramount Theatre.
The Chariot is a wedding venue located in Totowa, NJ.

The ballroom itself is absolutely breathtaking. The high ceilings, beautiful chandeliers, and classic design created the perfect backdrop for both our ceremony and reception. Everything felt timeless and elegant, yet warm and inviting. Our guests could not stop commenting on how gorgeous the space was and how impressed they were the moment they walked in.

Every detail was handled with care, and we never once felt stressed or worried. The coordination was flawless—everything ran smoothly, on time, and exactly as planned. It allowed us to fully relax and enjoy every moment of our wedding day.
The food was outstanding and one of the biggest highlights of the night. Cocktail hour was abundant and beautifully presented, with a huge variety that kept guests talking all night. Dinner was equally impressive—delicious, perfectly timed, and served hot to every table. We are still receiving compliments about the quality and quantity of the food. The Chariot truly delivers a five-star dining experience.
Another thing that stood out was how attentive the staff was to us as the bride and groom. We were constantly checked on, offered food and drinks, and made to feel like absolute royalty. That level of care made a huge difference and did not go unnoticed.
