I cannot begin to express how incredible our experience at The English Manor was. From start to finish, everything was absolutely perfect. The venue itself is stunning. We looked at over 10 venues and after stepping inside of The English Manor, we knew this is where we wanted to start our beginning. The staff went above and beyond to make sure every detail was taken care of, and we felt so well-supported throughout the entire process. We especially loved working with Troy. I had no doubt that my vision for the night would come to life with him in charge. All our needs were met from the minute we stepped foot into the venue until we walked out. Chrissy was also my bridal attendant and made sure that we were fed and had drinks all night long. The staff is truly exceptional and I could not have asked for anything more from them.
The atmosphere was everything I imagined and more, and our guests couldn’t stop complimenting how beautiful the setting was. Whether it was the ceremony space, the reception area, or the overall ambiance, every corner of the venue exceeded our expectations. Even though it ended up being a very windy day, Troy made sure to still pull off having our ceremony outside and our pictures were breathtaking in the garden.
The food is also incredible. We got married April 13th, 2024 and we still have people raving to us about how great the food was. Food was extremely important to us when picking the venue and they came through with their promise. After each person received their meal, they even came around and asked if anyone would like seconds. We also did the pork roll to go station and that was a big hit. I have people telling me that it was some of the best food they ever had at a wedding before.
If you're looking for a place that will make your wedding day feel like a dream come true, I wholeheartedly recommend The English Manor. They made our day unforgettable, and I’ll always cherish the memories we made there. Thank you so much for making our wedding everything we ever dreamed of! I cannot recommend you guys enough.

The English manor was more than I could ever dream of! The gardens in the back are so gorgeous you don’t even need to decorate! Cocktail hour is AMAZING , the whole place is amazing! The food, the atmosphere, the location is great … I couldn’t have asked for a better day! Marlyn was my day of coordinator and she went above and beyond & ensured EVERYTHING went smooth! When someone stepped on my dress and ripped my bustle, she was standing there with safety pins before I could even blink! She thought of everything that you didn’t think of & I would 10/10 recommend this venue to anyone!

We got married at The English Manor at the end of October, and it was absolutely perfect. Chrissy, our wedding coordinator, initially gave us a tour, helping us envision every detail of our wedding day. We instantly fell in love with the venue’s charm and elegance, from the garden ceremony space to the cocktail hour and stunning reception area.
Chrissy was our main point of contact throughout planning and introduced us to our Maitre D, Marlyn. Marlyn is simply incredible, and we were thrilled to have her by our side on our wedding day. She worked magic in every detail, answered all our questions promptly, and made us feel truly special. I’ll genuinely miss this team; they were nothing short of perfection.
The English Manor has everything you need for an unforgettable wedding—from incredible food that guests raved about long after the day, to beautiful grounds for a picturesque ceremony, a charming cocktail hour, and an amazing reception. The team genuinely listened to our vision and cared deeply about making it a reality. I had no stress on our wedding day because they handled everything. Marlyn’s attention to detail and incredible talent made all the difference; I wish everyone could have a Marlyn on their big day.
The English Manor is, without a doubt, the best place to celebrate your wedding. Our out-of-town guests especially loved the “night cap” station with pork rolls to take home—a perfect New Jersey touch to end the night.

Our wedding at The English Manor was nothing short of spectacular! From start to finish, the experience was seamless, and we couldn’t have asked for a more perfect day.
The team at The English Manor was incredibly professional and attentive to every detail, specifically our planner Marlyn . From our initial consultation to the final farewell, they made sure our vision was brought to life. We were fully able to focus on enjoying the day without worrying about logistics. Everything was beautifully coordinated, from the stunning décor to the delicious catering. Everyone is still raving about the food!
The venue itself is breathtaking, with both indoor and outdoor spaces that provided the perfect backdrop for our ceremony and reception.
What truly sets [Venue Name] apart is the staff. They went above and beyond to ensure that every aspect of our wedding was flawless. The coordination was impeccable, and they were always available to answer questions or address any concerns. Marlyn and Chrissy were always there, making sure we had food and drink at all points throughout the night.
The catering was phenomenal—our guests were treated to a cocktail hour that impressed and dinner that exceeded all expectations.
If you’re looking for a wedding venue that takes the stress out of planning and delivers an unforgettable experience, look no further than The English Manor. 10/10 experience, we can’t recommend them highly enough!

My husband and I just got married a few days ago 8/15/24!! From the moment we toured the English Manor over a year ago we both knew it was the one!! The grounds were all so beautiful and we were shown photos of previous weddings and flowers! We fell in love!!
We met with our maitred Marlyn who was incredible throughout the wedding planning process. She answered all of my late night text messages with no complaints and answered all of my stupid silly questions. She and Chrissy were a dream to work with on our wedding day and catered to our every need. I could not have asked for a more perfect day from start to end and will be recommending this venue to others as well!!!

We had our wedding at the English Manor a few weeks ago and every part of the process was a dream. Chrissy, our wedding coordinator who took us on the initial tour of the venue over a year ago, made herself available whenever we had questions leading up to the wedding and made the planning process super smooth. Chrissy is the best gal in the world to have by your side while planning!!
We were introduced to Maryln, our Maitre'd in the 2 months leading up to the wedding. She answered every question, had a solution to every last minute problem that came up and made sure all of our vendors were perfectly coordinated on the day of.
We've only heard rave reviews from our guests. Everyone loved lovedloved loved the food during the happy hour and dinner. my friends are still talking about our signature cocktails, particularly the watermelon margarita. Thank you to the entire English Manor team for making our wedding day so easy and special!

From the day we toured I absolutely fell in love with the Manor. The atmosphere, the food, and the staff were out of this world and truly went out of their way to make sure our day was nothing short of perfect. Marlyn was our maître-d and she was perfect! She was meticulous with details and helping make our vision come to life. She was always quick to answer questions and day of helped my husband and I relax and soak in all of the wedding. Chrissy was our attendant for the day and she was AMAZING. She checked in on us consistently throughout the evening and made sure we ate and drank the night away! The backyard was beautiful and great for photo ops. As was the space for people to roam during cocktail hour. The ballroom was spacious and had a beautiful marble dance floor to dance the night away! The entire team at the Manor is just absolutely wonderful and I could not recommend this venue more, the most dreamy wedding venue there could be!

We could not be more thankful to the English Manor for making our dream wedding come true! Marlyn, our maitre'd could not have been more amazing! She worked with us to customize our menu (to be vegetarian and gluten free friendly) and helped everything run smoothly. She was a lifesaver in so many ways- from helping when we forgot items, to helping my partner when her dress ripped down the back on the dance floor, to ensuring we had nothing to worry about on our wedding day! The English Manor staff was all so friendly, kind, and helpful. Our bridal attendant, Chrissy, helped ensure all of our needs were met and constantly checked up on us. We searched for many venues and we chose the English Manor because we thought it was the best value (ceremony, cocktail, and reception food, bar, and cake were all included and they had a discount deal with Elite Entertainment). We especially appreciated the flexibility with which they can transition inside in the case of inclement weather. The weather on our wedding day was variable and this put our mind at ease. Everyone has been complimenting the food, the beautiful gardens, great venue space, and how kind and attentive the staff was. It truly exceeded out expectations! We could not recommend it more!

I write this review sitting on my couch with a huge box of leftover cheesecake I picked out for the desserts. Just one of many examples of how The English Manor treats their brides! They think of so many things I wouldn't even consider. And day-of, I barely had to lift a finger!
These guys went above and beyond for our special day. We've gotten so many compliments in the past 48 hours and so many guests weren't even aware this venue existed! Between the delicious cake they coordinated for us to the way they helped my grandmother get around the premises, I can't recommend them enough. I'd give 10 stars if I could! They also partner with Elite Entertainment for a Sunday party deal that I highly encourage people to check out.

ATTENTION ALL BRIDES!!! Planning your wedding, then you need to book The English Manor!!! My husband and I got married here last November, and I know this review is a little late and I apologize for that, but The English Manor is no ordinary wedding venue. It is HOME!! The grounds are beautiful, the ballroom is gorgeous and the food was delicious. When Mark and I got engaged we looked at 12 different venues and nothing compared to The English Manor. Maddie was absolutely amazing in answering all my questions and helping me throughout the whole process. She reminded us of a friend of ours and we felt so comfortable. Troy was our Maitre’d and we could not have been happier. He made our dream wedding come to life. He was so attentive to not just our needs as the bride and groom but my parents as well as my husband mom and our whole bridal party. He went above and beyond the call of duty. Thank you Troy for that. It was true my appreciated. I strongly suggest you book your wedding here. I promise you will not regret it. We didn’t. It was the best night of our lives and we thank k you English Manor for mains our dream wedding come true.

Choosing The English Manor for our wedding was an outstanding decision that we will never regret. From the onset, the staff and venue exuded warmth and professionalism, creating an environment that our guests couldn't stop raving about.
The one-wedding-a-day policy allowed us to fully utilize the venue, including time before the ceremony for photography. We had extensive decor, and the staff was incredibly accommodating and flexible in helping us realize our vision.
Marlyn, our Maitre'd, and Maddie, our initial point of contact, were nothing short of amazing. The day ran seamlessly, which was largely due to their coordination. We received numerous positive comments about Marlyn from our guests, highlighting her efficiency and charm.
As for the food, it was top-notch. With an Italian family in attendance, the stakes were high, but not a single person had a complaint, which says a lot!
We had around 100 guests, and the venue felt spacious and comfortable. If you're planning a larger wedding with 150-200 people, the venue might feel a bit tight, so that's something to consider.
In terms of cost, the pricing was very reasonable for the value provided, although Saturdays and summer months come at a premium.
One thing I wish I'd known earlier is that there's a Facebook group for the venue where brides and grooms can discuss questions and share experiences. I only discovered this after our wedding, so I highly recommend joining if you choose this venue.
All in all, if you're looking for a venue that offers personalized service, excellent food, and a beautiful setting, The English Manor should be at the top of your list.

Have your wedding here! Do not look any further. When my husband and I got engaged we looked at 2 venues; Radisson at Freehold and The English Manor. The minute that we met with the staff at English Manor, he looked at me and said this is it. Then, we took a look at the grounds and we knew we weren’t going anywhere else. Marlyn is the sweetest and most caring person I have ever met. Her attention to detail is unmatched and she really does cater to your every need and want. The food is out of this world! Cocktail hour was incredible, I really could have stayed there all night. Dinner was phenomenal, I wish I could eat there every single night. They have such an extensive menu and it is worth every single penny!

I had the pleasure of attending my niece's wedding last week at The English Manor. I heard good things about this venue, but Im always suspect, so I was happy that I was going to experience it myself, so I could determine if what my friends were saying was true. I dont shock easily, but I was shocked. The food was the top spectacular and the grounds were beautiful. I was very impressed with the choice my niece and now nephew made when choosing their venue. Also the staff was very accommodating. And I certainly can't forget Troy, the wedding planner; I believe he was called the maitre'd. I watch what goes on around me and Troy was such a great leader of the pack, everything ran on point. I have an elderly mother in a wheelchair and even though Troy had a wedding to run, he took his time to help mother and make sure she was happy and enjoying herself, he won me over just with that. The whole experience was exemplary and I would suggest The English Manor to everyone looking for tradition in their wedding and a fabulous experience.

The English Manor -
From our first visit all the way to the day after our wedding, The English Manor went above and beyond. Every staff member we worked with was so kind, helpful and truly wanted to help us have best wedding day; and we did. On the day of our wedding it rained in the early afternoon and our venue coordinator, Marlyn, was so helpful and flexible in creating a plan. We were able to have our ceremony outside in the gardens and our cocktail hour food stations inside due to the possibility of more rain. They even opened the outdoor bar and made sure the tables and chairs were dry on the decks for any guests who wanted to be outside as it did not rain. Cocktail hour was incredible and our guests are still talking about the food! The beautiful gardens and reception space speak for themselves and are stunning for photos. Truly cannot say enough amazing things about The English Manor and am so happy we had our wedding there!

As soon as I walked into The English Manor, I knew I wanted to get married there… and I’m so glad that I did!!! The English Manor is such a special place; it’s gorgeous both inside and out, all of the staff are great to work with, and the food is amazing!
The day of my wedding it poured rain the entire day… which of course is every bride’s nightmare. Despite this, Troy and the rest of the staff did everything in their power to make my day beautiful and magical.. and they succeeded! My family and friends are still talking about how amazing my wedding was and raving about the food (and it’s been 3 months!) I wish I could go back in time and relive my wedding day just to experience it all over again!
Brides, definitely choose The English Manor as your venue! You won’t regret it! 🤍

This venue is the perfect place to get married! The venue gives an English garden vibe with beautiful crystal chandeliers! The staff is friendly, caring, and supportive! We did not have to worry about a thing because the staff at the English Manor had it all taken care of! We especially want to thank Marlyn Azala who was our wedding coordinator. She listened to our suggestions and made them a reality at our wedding and made everything go smoothly. The food was amazing as well and there were so many options to choose from! No one left hungry! The staff made sure we were taken care of every step of the way!

We could not have been more happy with our experience. From the minute we booked we felt so cared for. The maitre’d that led us through our initial tour no longer works at English Manor, but that was no issue whatsoever. Marlyn picked up like she had been with us from the very beginning. EVERY email was answered with ease IN THE MOST TIMELY OF FASHIONs, and all concerns (really more so questions) were addressed.
Our details meeting was so thorough and I went into our day feeling completely confident that my vision would come to life. IT DID AND THEN SOME. Again, I truly believe this was all because of Marlyn and Jen. I am Type A, so this was something I was very concerned about. From the minute we set foot on the venue property the morning of our wedding until the minute we left we were absolutely blown away. Marlyn and Jen were just so above and beyond anything we could have ever imagined. I would’ve had Marlyn at my wedding as a guest because I love her so much. I went through my day stress free without any type of professional coordinator (which was shocking for me!). marlyn handled absolutely every single detail and issue that arose. (Again, none of which were her fault lol.)
Marlyn walked around with me, carried my bouquet, made sure my phone got to my good friend to snap some photos, made sure I had a drink in my hand every minute I wanted it, and just thought of absolutely everything. She even SCRUBBED the dirt off my dress from the rain so it was perfect.
I cannot recommend this stunning venue enough! Although, a team is only as good as their players. so, more importantly, i cannot recommend marlyn enough. Our guests are still raving about the venue, scenery, food, and atmosphere.
We are so happy with our choice! And ILY MARLYN, SO MUCH. 🤍🥹✨

We cannot say enough great things about the English Manor and their excellent staff. From start to finish they were responsive, helpful, and attentive. They always answered our questions in a timely manor.
The grounds were the perfect backdrop to our September wedding. Even with the threat of rain, we were able to hold the ceremony outdoors and make the day-of decision to switch the cocktail hour inside to avoid the 6PM showers. Everything went off without a hitch.
The food - everything was absolutely fantastic. The cocktail hour options were endless and had options for all dietary preferences. Dinner selections were elegant and perfectly prepared. Our guests couldn't say enough great things about the food - and we couldn't agree more.
Troy, our maitre'd, was wonderful. He brought our very detailed vision to life and we couldn't imagine the the day without him. His attention to detail and commitment to making the day perfect was appreciated beyond words.
You will not go wrong with booking the English Manor. Now to only convince our friends and family to get married there so we can be guests there!!! Thank you, EM team, for the best day ever!

My wife and I got married here last week and now that everything is settled down we can sit down to write this. The English manor was hands down the most beautiful and wonderful place we've had the privilege to be married at. Last year when we were choosing places for the ceremony we landed on the English manor and at first we were stressed we wouldn't know what to do once we set a date but very luckily they gave us someone to help. Our Maitre'd Troy was so unbelievably helpful. As the wedding approached and it came time to buckle down and start planning Troy was INCREDIBLE. He helped us with practically everything we ever could've needed. Every time we had a question it was solved within a day. He even went above and beyond and helped with the wedding even 2 days before which he really didn't have to. Between Troy and everyone at the english manor, Our wedding was no doubt the happiest day of our lives. The food was perfect, the ceremony was beautiful and the planning was so specific it went down to the littliest detail. We were given so much care even as we arrived early. Ultimatley we had so much freedom and support between everyone that we can confidently say that we can recommend everything about the english manor and especially Troy who went above and beyond. We had a winter wedding and the outside lights were so beautiful we took so many photos out there. Even during the wedding we had the support of everyone it was so nice to just be able to focus on our big day. If you're thinking about a beautiful venue with great food, staff, and really helpful people, look no further.

We held our wedding at The English Manor two weeks ago, and it was absolutely incredible! We had the BEST day thanks to the staff of The English Manor!
The property is gorgeous for photos, and offers both indoor or outdoor ceremony and cocktail hour- which for a late fall wedding was helpful because although we envisioned an outdoor cocktail hour- the staff quickly transitioned to an indoor cocktail hour.
I was able to bring in all my own decorations and the staff made sure to place everything as I asked. When we walked in the venue for our wedding, everything was set up perfectly. We didn't have to do an ounce of work! Every thirty minutes someone came up to us and asked if we needed anything, and they planned ample time for us to eat and drink throughout the reception. We truly spent the day relaxing, and soaking up every minute of as a bride and groom should.
Our maitre'd Marlyn was incredibly attentive and professional. She made sure every detail was to my liking, and met all my expectation with such patience and kindness. I feel so lucky to have worked with her! Without even having to ask her, she saved menus, our cake, and mementos from the wedding night for me.
Minutes before the ceremony, my dress sleeve ripped- and I swear four staff members swooped in out of nowhere to sew me up. Then after the ceremony, Marlyn made sure the dress was secure and my morale was okay before the reception. I was so rattled, about my dress-but her kindness made me feel so much better.
We highly recommend The English Manor to any couple! I'm still getting compliments on the food and drinks!

Our wedding was October 2022 and we could not be happier with our choice of venue. Over the last two weeks, we keep hearing comments from all of our guests about how incredible everything was: the food, the space, the gardens, the staff, everything. From the moment we walked into The English Manor two years ago, we were so impressed by the aesthetic beauty of the grounds, the professionalism of the staff, and the spectacular wedding packages. Their website is wonderfully clear and perfectly transparent, so we want to focus on some aspects of important to us here that could not be as easily found on those pages. Lisa (the owner) actually gave us our tour originally and we fell in love with her spunk and clear passion for her business. One particularly impressive distinction that she showed us was the state-of-the-art sound system that allowed music to be blasting on the dance floor while not overwhelming the entire space and therefore allowing guests to be talking at the tables without shouting (our guests loved this). Maddie in the office was around to happily answer any questions we had over the two-year process promptly and efficiently and worked with us to ensure that all of our needs were addressed. Wedding planning during an ever-changing pandemic was less than ideal and Maddie worked with us to keep us as calm as possible each step of the way. Along with Maddie, Marlyn (our fabulous maitre’d) worked with us to accommodate some specific dietary needs for some of our VIP guests to ensure everyone not only had food to eat but options at that throughout the night. While the food was terrific, we are beyond impressed by The English Manor’s policy of donating all leftover food to a local shelter at the end of the wedding. The passion for giving back to the community left a very important impression on us. One last note of appreciation is needed here on The English Manor’s inclusive nature. As a gay couple, we wanted to make sure that our wedding left us both feeling empowered and celebrated at all moments. Lisa, Maddie, Marlyn, and the rest of the staff actively did this and then some. Our cocktail hour even featured a pumpkin with two grooms carved into it! Everything was perfect and we are so beyond impressed by everything here and grateful for the people who made it happen. Thank you all so much.

Troy was amazing to work with from start to end! If he is your Maitre D’, trust that you are in great hands! We were not sure what to expect as we hadn’t seen many reviews, but we knew we were in great hands regardless. During our finalization meeting, Troy spent so much time really understanding our needs, wants, confusions, and everything in between. He gave us a no-pressure vibe that gave us the confidence that our day would turn out perfectly. As our wedding day grew closer, he was never hesitant to let us know what he needed from us, or what we had not thought about. He was always available to us and responsive to our questions day or night. There were many times that we texted him late at night not expecting a response until the next day, but we received responses within minutes. During our rehearsal he really pieced everything together for us and gave our bridal party and family the confidence in knowing what to expect the next day. He brought a sense of calm to us throughout the entire process, and we knew that on the day of, we would be fully taken care of. He really made sure that our wedding day was perfect, and we left the venue at the end of the night without a doubt that without him, that perfect bow on the day would not have happened. We can’t recommend Troy enough! He really is an amazing person!

We LOVED the English Manor - they immediately made us feel special, not like we were just one of many couples getting married there.
They assigned us a maitre'd, Kristi, who was so friendly and always available to answer every little question.
This venue is perfect for any couple like us, who wants to get married in a lovely venue and does not want to make a thousand decisions and hire individual vendors for food, cake, drinks, etc. The fact it's all included was a HUGE selling point - the only things we had to provide was music, flowers and a photographer.
Definitely check them out - you won't regret it!

My husband and I had our wedding in April at The English Manor! It was absolutely beautiful! As someone with many food allergies, the English Manor was able to accommodate and ensured that the food was safe. Our ceremony took place outside and it was beautifully decorated by Marlyn. She went above and beyond on our wedding day to make sure things ran smoothly. My husband and I were able to have some time alone in the Bridal Suite to eat during cocktail hours. We’ve heard many times that brides/grooms do not get to eat on their wedding day but Kyle, Marlyn and the team ensured we eat. It’s 3 months later and our guests are still talking about how fantastic the food was. The Bacon Bar at the cocktail hour is definitely highly recommended!!! They helped bring our dream wedding day to life and it is a day we will hold close to our hearts.

My husband and I got married at The English Manor on May 28, 2022, and we could not be happier with our decision! We had high expectations for this venue based on the many glowing reviews we had read, and yet our wedding day was even more perfect than we could have imagined. If you want a beautiful wedding venue run by professionals who will ensure you don't have to worry about a thing on your big day, this is the venue for you. The photos available online of this venue simply do not do it justice — you have to see it in person. As my father in law said, it's so beautiful that it can't be described. The grounds are STUNNING, and on our various visits during the wedding planning process, there were always landscapers working to maintain it. We loved the fact that our guests were able to move from the outdoor ceremony area to a separate outdoor cocktail area and then to the indoor ballroom throughout the night, and our coordinator, Marlyn, was helpful and attentive. But the number one reason to book this venue is, without a doubt, THE FOOD! I work in food media, so having amazing food at my wedding was a priority. The cocktail hour absolutely blew us away. There were stations upon stations of food, including a raw bar, bacon bar, mac and cheese bar, and a grill station. Dinner was also delicious, as was the cake from Pastry Chef in Tinton Falls. Our guests are still raving about the cocktail hour and the food in general. Throughout the night, Marlyn and her staff worked tirelessly behind the scenes to make sure that everything ran seamlessly. I felt so relaxed on my wedding day, and I know that's because I was in such great hands at the English Manor. We also loved the proximity to Asbury, Belmar and other beaches on the Jersey Shore. I did a lot of research before choosing a venue, and I can say with confidence that the English Manor also provides a great value — the whole event felt a lot more expensive than it was in reality. It's truly the perfect venue!

When I got engaged this was the first venue I visited. After booking another venue and losing my deposit due to Covid, I came back to the venue I originally wanted and knew confidently that my day would be magical and in good hands. Boy was I right! We just got married on 7.2.22 and my guests are still raving about the food, the venue inside & out & the convenient location. I primarily worked with Marlyn and she was amazing. I hope our paths cross again cause she was completely awesome! Thank you to everyone over at the EM for bringing us the wedding day or our dreams! Love Mr. & Mrs. Lambert

There are not enough words to truly describe how incredible The English Manor is as a venue. We knew we felt at home the first time toured. Down to the last detail, Marlyn was extremely attentive and helpful in all aspects of our day. She was extremely organized and made us feel confident in putting our day in her hands from our first meetings to walking down the aisle. They were also very understanding and accommodating of our needs for accessibility, and had a solution for every question or detail that came up. Their entire staff was lovely and so attentive, making sure that we were all having an amazing time and that we had everything we needed at all times. Having a “one wedding at a time” venue made the ceremony and reception so intimate and incredible. It goes without saying that the grounds of the EM are the most picturesque and gorgeous setting for such a romantic day, and the ballroom is absolutely incredible! Between that and the food, we have so many of our family and friends still raving to us over how amazing our wedding was. Everything came together perfectly, even getting to have our ceremony and cocktail hour outside on an iffy weather day. The sun was shining and everything worked out wonderfully with their guidance!

It’s been three days since my wedding and everyone who was invited are still raving how beautiful the English Manor was. This venue is nothing short of amazing. We had the most beautiful ceremony, and the reception was top notch. This venue comes with so much while being extremely affordable! I barely had to bring in any decorations because they have everything, even centerpieces! The food is amazing, and there’s SO MUCH FOOD! The staff there is super knowledgeable, quick to answer any questions you have, and is with you every step of the way. My maitre’d Marlyn was super attentive, helped me with everything, and answered every question I had without hesitation and with a smile on her face. I can’t recommend the English Manor enough!

From the moment we walked into the English Manor, we felt like we were home. The warmth and kindness of the staff, the beauty of the rooms and the grounds, and the personal touches are all just small parts of why we know we made the right choice for our wedding day. The staff were so accommodating to us and truly listened to every single thing we asked for and mentioned what was important to us. The wait staff, the hospitality staff, kitchen staff, and management all treated us like family and that allowed us to fully trust them for our special day.
The English Manor is absolutely a hidden gem and we have never seen or experienced another venue quite like it. Our wedding day was perfect, in the midst of a pandemic with many changing rules and regulations, Kristi and the staff made everything seamless and absolutely everything we dreamed of.
If you are hesitant to pick a venue-we get it! But from the bottom of our hearts, The English Manor has something for everyone and they will not steer you wrong!

This place is a hidden gem! We specifically wanted a unique venue with a cozy garden vibe that did one wedding at a time and we fell in love with the grounds and people instantly. We had one other appointment at a different venue which happened to be on the same day we came here and as soon as we saw the other spot, we knew the English Manor was it for us. Lisa worked with us to find budget friendly options and to accomodate some very specific requests we had.
Planning our wedding was very stressful as we were initially a Summer 2020 wedding that got postponed due to covid. The English Manor worked with us to change our wedding date and alter our contract for minimum guests. They answered all emails and calls very promptly and rescheduled weddings in a fair and organized way. On the day of our wedding, Marlyn was out maitre'd and went above and beyond for us. She met with us prior to the wedding to get a sense of what we wanted and she definitely prioritized what we discussed. She single handedly kept everything moving on schedule despite many issues coming up with other vendors the day of the wedding. When we missed cocktail hour due to photos running late, she had a table brought to us with all of our favorites from cocktail hour to snack on while finishing up family pictures. She checked in with us multiple times during the day, especially when we were starting to run off schedule and stood up for me when she saw other vendors setting things up in a way I clearly would not have wanted. Despite all the chaos that went on, she kept everything running on time and made sure we had a great time.
The food was amazing (we still have guests commenting on that filet mignon), our garden ceremony was everything we wanted, and the ballroom was absolutely gorgeous. Look no further, this venue is amazing!

My husband and I got married here on November 28th, 2021. We were originally supposed to get married on October 4th, 2020. Like most couples, that changed due to covid. The English Manor was MORE than accommodating, kept us up to date every step of the way and answered any questions we had promptly. When the time came closer to our November date and we finally met our maitre'd Kristi, everything began to fall into place. On the day of our wedding, my husband and I were blown away. It was truly everything we imagined it to be and more. The grounds, the food, the service, everything was AMAZING! So many of our guests, both during and after, told us how beautiful our wedding was. We got many compliments about how great the food was and how amazing the staff was. Kristi remembered every little detail and made sure that we had everything we needed throughout our day. If you're unsure of a venue for your wedding, have it at the English Manor. You will not be disappointed!

My wife and I can not speak highly enough of The English Manor. Our maitre d Kristi was phenomenal. She went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. She made our vision for our wedding come true and exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend working with Kristi! All of the staff was excellent. We would not change a single detail about our wedding thanks to The English Manor. They kept the grounds beautiful, the sound system was amazing, and the staff did not miss any details. Dinner was on time and all of our guests felt cared for. Our guests have continuously commented on the perfection of the venue and the staff. We highly recommend booking your wedding or special event at The English Manor! Ask for Kristi, she is awesome!

The English Manor is one of those unassuming places from the outside, then you get inside and it’s like you’ve entered another world. It was a total last-minute addition when my mom and I were looking at venues and it was the only one that I immediately dragged my (now) husband back to – that same day! The reception room is beautiful and the grounds (garden, patio, deck) are gorgeous! We wish we had been able to have the cocktail hour on the patio, but you know summer in Jersey (need I say more?). But we were able to have the ceremony outside and our guests definitely enjoyed the covered deck during cocktail hour. The food was so good and there was SO much of it – so many guests actually asked me if there really was dinner after the cocktail hour. Tinton Falls Pastry Chef’s cake was one of the best wedding cakes I’ve ever had. After all the confusion and uncertainty of postponing/rescheduling a wedding during a pandemic, Kristi was amazing to work with as maître d’! She was upbeat, organized, and always there if I had an issue (before the wedding and of course on the day of). Kristi thinks of all the little details, sets any decorations up beautifully, and packs everything up neatly to take home at the end of the night.
We’re so glad we waited to finally be able party it up here!

The English Manor is the definition of a "hidden gem"! My wife and I could not have possibly wanted anything more. The garden is absolutely beautiful along with the cocktail hour patio and the newly refinished ball room. The staff was proven to go above and beyond to make sure every guest was taken care of. Our maitre d' Marlyn was fantastic! The food is incredibly delicious. The cocktail hour choices, the main meal and the cake (which is made by Tinton Falls Pastry Chef) were A+++. Every single one of our guests was raving about the venue. Thank you for being such a beautiful and awesome place!

Beautiful venue, amazing staff, drinks and food. Kristi was the maître d' for my daughter's wedding. She felt like an invested family member and didn't miss a beat. From start to finish, was perfection and we loved having the whole place to ourselves. We utilized every garden, deck and room available to us which also adds to the amazing experience at the manor. Almost every guest stayed till the end and were sad once it was over. I wish we could do it again. Simply perfect.

1000000 Stars. I don't even know where to start. The best day of our lives, all thanks to the WONDERFUL staff at the English Manor! We fell in love with this place the second we pulled up. We booked in Feb of 2020, right before the world shut down. Planning a wedding with so many ups and downs was terrifying, but we knew we were in the best hands - whatever happened. Communication was always easy and Kristi is simply amazing. We were so thrilled when we were told she'd be our Maitre D. She literally became a friend to us during our planning and we couldn't have imagined our day without her. The food was PHENOMENAL, the staff was SO friendly and kind.. the grounds and ballroom are stunning. It was everything we've ever dreamed of and more. To put it simply, I can't recommend this venue enough!

How do I even put into words how incredible the staff at English Manor is? From the moment we walked in on a rainy January afternoon we felt at home! The charming atmosphere of the manor mixed with its trendy amenities made us feel like we just stepped into a fairytale.
Although, Covid forced us to reschedule our wedding, never once did we feel the stress and anxiety we heard from other couples planning to get married during this time. From upbeat phone calls assuring us our day would be worth the wait, to prompt email responses when we had questions, Kristi was phenomenal!!!
Fast forward to July 24, 2021 a day that will be forever considered, the best day of our lives! The entire day felt like a dream. I still can not get over how this venue completely exceeded our expectations! From the outrageous food to the beautiful grounds surrounding the outdoor cocktail hour, our guests are still raving about our wedding a month later! We we’re humbled by so many saying this was “the best wedding they’ve ever attended.” There was not a simple touch missing. This of course, is all thanks to the our incredible maitre’d, Marlyn!!
If you are thinking about The English Manor, think no more! Your fairytale wedding is waiting for you here!

We just married here yesterday and I could not get on here and write a review soon enough. To say that it was incredible is an understatement, it was FLAWLESS. I don’t even know where to begin! The food was the best I’ve ever had, the decor was gorgeous, it was clean and perfectly arranged. Marlyn was a lifesaver because my bustle came undone and no one could fix it, there she was instantly to help and saved the day. She was so good at keeping us on task and getting us food and drinks. I wish it didn’t go by so fast because it was the best wedding I’ve ever been to! My guests all pulled me aside and said that they couldn’t believe the venue and how perfect every little detail was. Thank you so much for giving us the most amazing wedding. You are professional, kind and wonderful people

True story: I knew that I wanted to get married at the English Manor before I even got engaged. Just from seeing the pictures online I knew it was going to be the perfect venue. My husband and I visited and booked right after getting engaged and the rest was history. Our wedding on 7/16 was the absolute best day. Despite the stress that came with having to reschedule our date due to COVID, it was all worth it. Kristi was our maitre d and made sure my husband and I had the best day. She made sure that we got to try every cocktail hour food and brought it up to the suite for us so we could have a few minutes to ourselves. She also helped glue my shoes back together after they fell apart - she truly went above and beyond! Everything went so smoothly, I really didn't have to worry about anything that day. Our guests are still raving about the food and have said it is one of the best weddings they have ever been to.

If you need to pick a wedding venue - you MUST pick the English Manor. They by far exceeded any expectation that I had. My husband and I got married here on 6/25/2021 and a little over a month later, my guests are still raving about the venue, the grounds, the food, the ceremony, the cocktail hour, the reception, the drinks, and the service. Our Maitre D was Kristi and she went above and beyond with everything that she did to make our day more than perfect. Kristi answered every question we had, no matter what time of day and constantly put my mind at ease. Kristi is so personable too and she makes your finalization appointment stress free and so much fun and I felt like I knew her forever because she was so easy to talk to. Kristi guided us in picking out the delicious food selection for our guests, and even packed us up leftover dinners, which was amazing to enjoy the next few days later. The English Manor has the most beautiful grounds with breathtaking gardens to get married in. There were flowers everywhere, and tons of spots outdoors to take gorgeous photos in. We did our first look outside on the bridge that leads into the ceremony space. Our ceremony took place in the garden outside, followed by a cocktail hour on the deck/patio with a beautiful waterfall in the background. The English Manor has tons of options to offer for cocktail hour - we picked the boardwalk station, which was a guest favorite. The reception room is gorgeous, and looks even more amazing filled with all of your guests and all of your details perfected. There is also a room with a gorgeous stone fireplace and coffee table that you can decorate however you would like. A few days before the wedding, I dropped off a bunch of stuff to decorate with. Some of the stuff I wanted in specific places, but I also told Kristi to put some of it where she thought would look nice and I cried when I walked in the reception room. My vision came to life. My husband and I could not stop smiling all day and we owe it all to Kristi and the staff at the English Manor. Thank you for making our day PERFECT. You will not regret selecting the English Manor as your wedding venue!!!

WOW WOW WOW. The English Manor exceeded our expectations. We had to reschedule our wedding twice due to COVID and moved out of Jersey right before our wedding. Kristi talked us through every step and was available via call, facetime whatever we needed. She was so on top of everything from the rehearsal and day of. She even packed up to go boxes for us to eat after the reception.
The venue is wonderful with the ceremony in the gardens. No one will go hungry at the cocktail hour as they overload you with delicious food. We're still hearing complements about it!
Just can't say enough good things about this venue.

I cannot even begin to explain how much we loved our wedding at The English Manor! We are still getting texts days later from guests raving about everything! Kristi was absolutely wonderful and made planning so easy and fun, especially during COVID! We weren't able to have a food tasting due to the pandemic so I had been a little nervous, but I shouldn't have wasted single moment worrying about it because the food was out of this world! We did the filet mignon and chicken juliette and everyone was thoroughly impressed. The whole day was absolutely magical from beginning to end and I 100% recommend this hidden gem to anyone who wants a personalized, one-of-a-kind wedding in an intimate setting!

PERFECTION! Kristie and The English Manor Crew went above and beyond not only on our Wedding Day but every single visit. From showing my parents to the tasting, and then the final visit the service was 5 stars and above! My husband (a foodie) missed the tasting so during our final visit Kristie had food sent up for him.
Also, we wanted to surprise our guests with a second look and Kristie helped sneak us in to snap photos in the ballroom. We even had an emergency and Kristie and the staff handled it and kept the party moving right along.
I cannot thank her and the staff enough for creating our beautiful dream wedding. Our friends and family still talk about the amazing food!

My husband and I just got married yesterday and I felt so compelled to write our review ASAP. Our entire experience from the second we walked in 11 months before our wedding date was incredible. We had the privilege of working with a few different ladies through the planning process and they were each so helpful with all of my silly questions and concerns. As our wedding day approached we were absolutely blessed to meet and work with our Maître D, Kristi. Our day would not have been as amazing as it was if not for her... she was kind, helpful, understanding, and honestly just all around wonderful (my husband and I just keep saying we just want to be her friend lol). Every detail was executed flawlessly by all of the staff - from set up, to food, and all around friendliness. Before the night was over guests were continuously coming up to us to compliment the venue, staff, and food - which was INCREDIBLE. The presentation and taste blew us all away and I’m super grateful they sent us home with leftovers so we get to enjoy it twice! We’re seriously hoping a friend gets married there so we can experience the magic again. We were truly so blessed with our entire wedding day and are beyond happy our guests had just as much as we did. So many said it was the best wedding they have ever been to (and of course we agree)!!

My husband and I got married at The English Manor on 12/7/2019 and we cannot say enough great things about our experience. From the day we booked the venue (18 months ahead of time), until the day of our wedding, the service was incredible! There are a lot of horror stories out there about planning a wedding and everyone at The English Manor made it the easiest and smoothest process for us! They were always available to answer any questions beforehand either over the phone or email. We came to the venue multiple times to show our families and also for our menu tasting, and the staff was always welcoming and professional.
On the day of our wedding, The English Manor staff really made the day go flawlessly. Our Maitre D Marlyn went above and beyond for us and she was truly amazing! She was so organized and detail oriented and she made our vision for our wedding day come to life. Our head waitress Silvana was so attentive and made sure we always had food and drinks with us throughout the night. Not only were we impressed with the service, but our guests raved about the service we received. We have had so many people compliment the service the night of our wedding and for the days following.
Not only was the service incredible – but the food was outstanding! The English Manor was super accommodating to dietary restrictions and they were able to slightly tailor our menu to adjust for that. We are so grateful for that and could not believe the quality and how great everything tasted! The cocktail hour food was incredible and so were the entrees! Our guests were so impressed by the taste and the endless options throughout the night!
The grounds were decorated for Christmas and it was the perfect touch for our winter wedding! The staff did a great job decorating and we hardly needed any decorations of our own. The venue is absolutely stunning both inside and out!
We had such a wonderful experience & would recommend The English Manor to anyone! If you’re looking for a top tier wedding venue that truly goes above and beyond, this is the place for you! Thank you to all of the staff & our Maitre D Marlyn, you all made our day the best day of our lives. We are so thankful to have chosen The English Manor for our wedding venue!

The outdoor space was everything I was looking for & the inside was even better! The new reception room was gorgeous, especially with the changing of lights to the color of your choice. The food was AMAZING, my guests couldn't stop raving about it & the service with just so professional & on point! When you needed a drink Kristi was there with one in your hand for you! I can not even explain how perfect everything was! Kristi made my vision come true with the setup of all the decor I made. I like to THANK Kristi most of all for answering all my emails & texts, but also THANK YOU to the whole staff that made that day the most memorable of my life!

I wish I could go back in time and redo our wedding day over and over! Our wedding day at the English Manor was absolutely perfect! The outside ceremony was beautiful and the cocktail hour is still being talked about! Our guests said that they were so full from cocktail hour that they barely made it through dinner. The food just kept coming out and it was delicious!
The service was exceptional! All of the waiters were very attentive to our guests and you never had to wait for a beverage :)
Above all I have to thank our Maitre d’Kristi for all of her patience, time, and care throughout our entire experience. Leading up to the big day she was always available to help and answer all of my questions. I had so many details/decorations to be set up and she made everything so beautiful. She always checked in on me making sure I was okay throughout the entire day! I feel so lucky that I was able to work with her for our wedding day! It was everything I hoped it would be and more! I definitely recommend the English Manor for your wedding day!

The English Manor nailed it. We had our wedding in August ‘19 and could not recommend the English Manor any more. From our very first visit, we knew the English Manor was our dream location. The grounds are beautiful for outdoor ceremonies and outdoor cocktail hours (natural and not too manicured which was great since we wanted a rustic feel) and the inside ballroom was just recently updated. It’s tasteful, classic and not overly lavish (again, something we were looking for - we wanted an authentic and non-pretentious feel). The food was downright delectable and we still have friends and family talking about how much they loved certain items 3 months later! The funny thing is that each person who raves about the food seems to have a different item that they enjoyed most. This showed us that the food all-around was excellent and not just a few select items. The English Manor also allowed us to do a taste testing with our parents which seems to be rare these days and was a much added bonus (and also fun!). The dance floor is a little on the smaller end for 150 people but we also had a big dancing crowd in which a good 50% of people consistently danced the entire night. The smaller dance floor made it look somewhat full but we saw this as a positive because it felt lively! Last but not least, the staff and especially our maitre’d Kristi Lippiello were incredible! These people love to put on weddings and it shows! They made our day so special and worry-free by taking care of all of the details - even ones we missed ourselves. Everyone was lovely to work with and Kristi was very accessible and knew how to put a bride at ease. Looking back, it’s surreal how stress-free our wedding experience was - the wedding day itself and the months leading up to it - and this was in large part due to the English Manor. Again, we cannot recommend this place any more. Other than our decision to marry each other, our selection of the English Manor as our wedding venue was the best decision we made for our wedding day!

Working with The English Manor was such a joy from start to finish. They provided us personalized attention from the first minute we walked in the door, and were always prompt and precise in their communication. We were a little overwhelmed with the wedding planning process, and knowing the people at The English Manor were always available for assistance and to answer any questions meant the process was that much smoother. We worked with a number of different people - Alex, Victoria, and Kristi (our amazing Matre D') - and each and every one of them was wonderful.
Our wedding day was beautiful, in no small part because The English Manor did an outstanding job. We are so glad we chose The English Manor for our wedding. Thank you!

My daughter's wedding was an absolutely amazing wedding from start to finish. The grounds are beautiful and just perfect for an outdoor ceremony at the gazebo followed by a spectacular cocktail hour on the deck and surrounding waterfall patio. The reception took place in the elegant ballroom. Kristi, our maitre 'd was truly incredible. She handled all of the details from beginning to end for a flawless presentation. The entire staff worked as a team to provide our guests with the service that one would expect at a wedding. The food was so plentiful and truly delicious! The guests are still raving and some have said that it was the best wedding that they ever attended! We had 150 guests, but the space is capable to handle more than that amount. From the moment the bridal party arrived, we were welcomed and attended to by Kristi and her team. The arriving guests were also greeted by Kristi and attended to with a Welcome Bar and a Goodbye Bar! The ballroom is beautiful with understated elegance. The large dance floor and creative lighting options helped to make it a truly fun evening! The liquor flowed at the open bar and was attended to by the very capable bartenders. I will emphasize that The English Manor which hosts one wedding at a time was absolutely the perfect choice for my daughter's wedding. Many, many thanks to the entire English Manor staff!

The English Manor was one of the last venues we looked at and I'm SO GLAD we found it. Honestly, look no further than this place. From our first meeting, we always felt so well taken care of. They should really pride themselves on their "one-wedding-at-a-time" mantra. During any meeting, call, email exchange, our tasting, and the reception itself, we always felt like we had the staffs full attention. We never felt like any request was too much or that we were asking too many questions. Our maitre d, Marlyn, was one of a kind & made sure our vision came to life, everything ran smoothly, & that our guests (particularly our families & wedding party) were well taken care of. The reception, ceremony, and cocktail hour spaces are beautiful. The bridal & groomsmen suites are also an awesome perk. The food was FANTASTIC. My now husband is a chef so the food quality was important and The English Manor more than delivered. All of our guests raved about it. The cocktail hour had a lot of variety & everything was delicious. The reception dinner was out of this world & the french-style service is such a unique touch that all of our guests loved. I've been to around 10 weddings in the past couple of years and honestly you really can't beat The English Manor's package. Not to mention the all-inclusive bar selection. Also, I'd like to note that The English Manor is close enough to the shore that we were able to do first look & wedding photos on the Asbury Park boardwalk before our evening ceremony. You really can't beat the location - it's close enough to the shore to do pre & post wedding activities but it's far enough away that you don't have to deal with the crowds. Truly, The English Manor was one of the best decisions we ever made.

All I can say is WOW! This place had it all, location, food, and staff were out of this world. Our whole family was impressed by how professional everything was done throughout our whole wedding process.
To start the outside grounds are just absolutely stunning. We had a summer wedding and the outside was the most amazing backdrop of our ceremony and cocktail hour.
The food was beyond impeccable and impressive. I’ve been to many weddings where I have left hungry and disappointed. Let me tell you there wasn’t one thing I ate that was not delicious. From the apps to the dinner and dessert, our guests all raved about how delicious everything was.
Lastly, the staff. I was so lucky to have gotten to work with Kristi as my maître d’. She went above and beyond her duties and made our day truly so special. She was beyond sweet and caring and really made us feel right at home. I couldn’t have asked for a better person to leave our wedding in the hands of than her.
I could talk for hours about how amazing our experience was. We can’t thank everyone enough at the EM who made our wedding day come together so perfectly!

My husband and I got married on 5/25/19 and from start to finish our day was impeccable--all because of EM. Kristi, Lisa and the whole team was the epitome of dedication. They made us feel like we were THE most important people in the world that day regardless of how many times they've done it for other couples. The food (people still talk about our cocktail hour), the new room (stunning!) and the sequence of the entire day was sheer perfection. Anything we needed/wanted was answered. I could not boast enough about this venue. They will make your dream day come true.

Saturday, July 13, 2019 my daughter, Katie and her fiance’ Chris got married and the reception was at the English Manor. I can’t say enough about the beautiful venue The English Manor is. Their maitre d Kristi greeted the bridal party and took care of their wants and needs. She was wonderful, nothing was ever a problem for Kristi, from the planning stages to the end of the evening.
The bridal party took pictures on the beautiful grounds at the English Manor. One of the many reasons we picked the English Manor was to take pictures on the grounds, from the front with the stately manor look, the antique barn doors to the back with the bridge, the gazebo , the waterfall set in an amazing garden of flowers and foliage. When they finished the bridal party pictures they joined their guests at the Welcome Bar set up in the Garden Room. The Welcome Bar was a huge hit for guest who arrived early. The cocktail hour was outside on the great patio where the food was plentiful and delicious and the drinks were flowing. Dinner was served in the elegant ballroom. Dinner was amazing, every option was delicious. Guest were raving how good the food was! The bride and groom cut the cake and dessert was served. The cake was delicious and included in the package. The bride had picked the cake she wanted at a cake tasting with about 12 options. Also, mini ice cream cones were served on a bed of sprinkles and pastries were placed on each table. The servers, the bartenders, and all staff at the English Manor were professional, friendly, and attentive.
I would like to thank Lisa, the owner, for such an amazing venue. A special thank you to Kristi who paid so much attention to detail and kept the day and evening running smoothly in her sweet and friendly way.
I am so glad we had our daughter’s wedding at the English Manor. The guests comments were, “best wedding”, “so much fun”, “had a great time”, “food was amazing”, “best wedding I’ve ever been to”, as they were passing the exit station with pork roll, egg, and cheese sandwiches wrapped up so the guests could take one home!
Amazing, Incredible night!
Debbie--Mother of the Bride
