The Graycliff

I just had my shower at the Graycliff in the sunroom and it was AMAZING!!! From the lighting, to the set up of the room, to the food, to the service, everything was top notch. Our maitre d John was very attentive. Everyone raved over this event and said it was the best shower they’ve ever been to! Thank you Graycliff for making this special day in my life so memorable!

My husband and I got married on 12/28/19 at The Graycliff. The Graycliff exceeded our expectations in all facets before and during the wedding. All of our guests were complimenting us on how amazing and accommodating The Graycliff staff was at the wedding, and how delicious the food was. The entire staff made our day perfect and we couldn't be happier!! John and Michelle were amazing!

100% RECOMMEND. There are not enough words to describe how happy we are with our wedding on 9/6/19. We booked a year & half out & attended 2 open houses to meet vendors & see exactly what a wedding would look there. Cathy & Michelle were quick to answer any questions or concerns we had leading up to that time. They handled of all of our day of coordination & setting the place up exactly like we wanted. While the rain ruined our plans for an outdoor ceremony, they transformed our room for the ceremony seamlessly. Our Maitre’D John made sure that Randy & I had everything we needed at all times & went above & beyond (like cleaning the groom’s white jacket several times & preparing a special plate of food for flower girl). Everyone complimented the food, service & speedy bartenders. It was our favorite night ever! We couldn’t possibly thank them enough.


We had our wedding at The Graycliff on June 1, 2019. We had a guest list of 200 people & our maitre d', John, was absolutely phenomenal. But let me rewind a bit, during our tour they answered all our questions, the owner sat down to work out pricing with us and that's the thing - he WORKED with our budget. The pricing we received for the service and quality we were provided was honestly a steal. They set up our cake through Palermo Bakery & we had such a great time at our cake tasting and most importantly our food tasting at The Graycliff. Everything they did for us was a memory that will last a lifetime, from the initial consultation, to food tasting to our very special day. John and his team went above and beyond to make sure our day was perfect and stress free. All my guests were impressed by the food, venue, drinks and service. I cannot thank The Graycliff and their team enough for making our special day truly memorable and a 5 Star day all around (even with the minor mishaps - which had nothing to do with them). I strongly recommend any and every bride & groom to consider The Graycliff for their big day or any event! They have a life long customer/friend with me and my husband. Thank you!! - The Hincapies

THE GRAYCLIFF IS AMAZING!!!! I don’t even know where to begin. From Michelle, who helped us plan the entire event, Tony, who originally gave us the tour, and helped us book our day, to John and Katherine, our Maitre D’s on the day, as well as everyone else, the staff there goes above and beyond! The way they set up our decorations was perfect. The pianist they provided at cocktail hour was wonderful. The food was outstanding, the beverages were delicious, the service was impeccable, the venue is beautiful, and all at an affordable price!! Our family and friends can’t stop raving about how awesome everything was, and neither can we! We would recommend this place a thousand times over!! 5 stars isn’t enough to describe this venue!! My husband and I can’t thank them enough for helping make our day even more special.

The venue was exactly what we were looking for. The staff was extremely helpful and professional. Everyone told me to expect something to go wrong on your wedding day because nothing is ever perfect but that was not what happened here. Not one thing went wrong the staff was always right there to help in any way they could. Also the food was exceptional. Definitely recommending this venue to all my friends.

Every second of our wedding was wonderful because of the graycliff. People raved about the food. Our staff was fabulous and made sure I was happy throughout the night. They catered to our every need. GET THE VENETIAN HOUR -so worth the money and it’s something everyone will remember.

We couldn’t have had a better experience with The Graycliff! From the initial visit to just check it out, to the food tasting and all the way through our wedding day - every single one of the staff went above and beyond for us. Not only is the venue absolutely beautiful but the kindness of each one of the staff we encountered was top notch! We wish we could relive our wedding experience a million more times!

Greatest bang for your buck! Our day was incredible! they made it so easy that I had zero stress the day of the wedding. They took care of everything for us. They set up all the centerpieces exactly how I wanted them and they even took care of a special memory table that I wanted. People at our reception are still talking about the amazing cocktail hour! The mashed potato bar is to die for! The drinks were great! The venue itself was beautiful and they were always available to answer any questions I had months before. It was wonderful and I would recommend The Graycliff to anyone who needs a venue for an event.

There are not enough positive words for the experience we had with the Graycliff! I’ll start from the beginning. My husband and I visited 22 wedding venues in the tri-state area and nothing even came close to what we felt at the Graycliff. Our first visit, we received a tour and met with Michelle - who is the sweetest person ever to deal with when it came to plan our wedding! She broke down the pricing for us, it was very reasonable compared to some of the other venues we saw. Working with Michelle made the entire experience fun. I am Russian, and my husband is half Italian, so we were looking for a venue that would accommodate our cultures - especially one that would provide TONS of food. Tony the owner was great to work with as well, they truly cared about making me feel like I got everything I wanted. They were able to swap out some menu options to fit exactly what we wanted, and they were even able to incorporate some of our Russian type foods. Day of wedding: Our limo was escorted to the side of building directly to the bridal suite, so no one would know the bride/groom had arrived. The bridal room was filled with food and the maître d was constantly around to make sure we had everything and to get us drinks. During the cocktail hour we went to take pictures, all the attendants escorting us were communicating via ear pieces to make sure it was a clear path to the photo location, that no one was there, and bride wouldn’t be bombarded with guests. It was all so discreet and smooth - as if they were trained government operatives! The amount of food at cocktail hour was ridiculous, and everything was perfectly decorated. It also wasn’t just filler decorated food, there were truly tons of DELICIOUS food options for every kind of taste. The pianist that the venue provided was the perfect touch as well. We had bought all the additional food options they offered, and they were honestly worth every penny. Dinner was great! We had heard from multiple guests that the steaks were cooked to each guest’s perfect specifications, which rarely happens at big wedding. No one left our wedding hungry. Dessert was amazing, the fire show was quick but well worth it! There was only 1 bar in the room but there were multiple bartenders and there was never ever a line for drinks - servers brought drinks to the tables as well. We had 120 guests, and no one was ever cramped. Michelle worked with me on table sizes to accommodate all my seating arrangement requests. The dance floor looked deceivingly small, but it was the perfect size for all our guests to dance on. The rectangular shape was also very neat and worked out great! As the bride, you want to feel special on your wedding day and The Graycliff did not disappoint. They accommodated the Russian traditions and had all the things we requested ready so that everything went smoothly. We cannot thank everyone enough at The Graycliff for the most perfect wedding we had! The whole day went by too fast and I did not want it to end. If I had to redo it, I would 100000% pick the Graycliff again. I wish we lived closer, so we could have more events there! Big thank you to Michelle, Tony and the entire wonderful staff and cooks at The Graycliff! - Julia & Matt

We had our wedding reception on August 4. The staff, waiters, and waitresses were outstanding. Some of our guest were quite early, but the Graycliff was happy to provide them with drinks early on. The cocktail hour was wonderful. Service during the meal was excellent. Mike was a great bartender. Michele gave us outstanding service prior to the big day. We had guests from Europe, professors from different universities, and people from all age brackets. Many said it was the best wedding they had ever attended.Best bang for the buck.

I had my wedding at The Graycliff on June 29, 2018 and it was the best decision I ever made. They did a phenomenal job and there are not enough words to say how much I appreciate everything they did! They made my wedding vision come true! My wedding was amazing and all my guests enjoyed themselves. Thank you sooo much!

thats PERFECT....all the staff..food..location...everything .amazing they have a lot of patience with all the process of the wedding... the venue is gorgeous... sooo much food...great taste... i would go back 10 times in there and do iy again...

I had never been to the Graycliff before my bridal shower was thrown there. We had the room that looked like a greenhouse with the glass ceiling and walls. The room itself was beautiful! There was an outdoor space attached as well so people could go inside and outside. The food was delicious and there was a large variety to choose from. Jackie was the "captain" of the shower and she was amazing. She was so accommodating and happy to help. The mimosas were delicious, but on the weaker side. My only suggestion would be to make them a little stronger but otherwise everything was perfect!

We were married on April 7, 2018 and had our reception at the Graycliff. Kathy and the rest of the team were a pleasure to work with and our Maitre'D, John (both of them, there were two!!) were above phenomenal. There were a few snafoo's but nothing that took away from the reception or the perfection of the reception itself. There was only one major issue which we believe had to do with one particular nameless staff member whom we informed management about. Kathy, John & John (our Maitre'D's) and the rest of the team where absolutely amazing and we cannot thank them enough for all their hard work and dedication. We highly recommend them and will use them again in the future for other events.

The Graycliff was absolutely amazing. All the guests complimented the food. The staff was so helpful and made the entire day a complete breeze. I didn’t have to worry about anything!

I don't even know where to begin. I had my wedding on September 1, 2017 and I must say I am in awe!!! I booked with the Graycliff because of its customer service, great food and package. However, I was reluctant and slightly embarrassed by the lack of upgrades. I expressed all of my concerns and the staff did what was necessary to make me feel confident in my decision of having my wedding there. I walked into my reception and was amazed!!!! My entire experience was awesome!!!!! I can't thank Tony, Kathy, Michelle, Ahmed and our Matre D (I can't recall his name) for knocking me off my feet! I highly recommend the Graycliff to every bride!!!! You will not regret it! So many people have called, emailed and texted that my wedding was the best they have ever attended!!! Thank you so much Graycliff staff for making my dream wedding come true!!

My then fiancé and I were engaged in June 2016. When we visited The Graycliff in August for our June 2017 wedding we knew our search was over. Our ceremony took place outdoors at their beautiful gazebo. They followed my special instructions to the letter. My guests cannot stop talking about the delicious food, decor, atmosphere and impeccable service. The staff before and during the wedding was excellent. Whether you're looking for a venue for your ceremony and/or reception, a Sweet Sixteen or a special anniversary I highly recommend The Graycliff...trust me they will not disappoint you!

We held our wedding reception at the Graycliff on April 30, 2017. Our friends and family cannot stop raving about this venue; from the cocktail hour, to the food to the impeccable service! John was the best maître d' we could have ever wished for. The staff was so attentive and made sure everything was running smoothly... they also made sure my husband and I had time to eat, and we always had a drink in hand! I could not have imagined a more perfect day. THANK YOU!!!

My husband and I got married here on April 22, 2017. Our wedding was beyond amazing! Our wedding guests raved about the food- especially the cocktail hour! A special thanks to John and Tony for saving our night after a horrible limousine company debacle. I highly recommend this venue for all future weddings and/or special events!

I can not say enough good things about the graycliff! if you get married there...make sure you have John as your maitre d!! He was absolutely amazing! he anticipated our every need before we even knew we needed it! when i dropped off my decorations i had a very vague directions of where to put things...and john took control and set everything up and it was amazing!!! we received so many compliments on cocktail hour, the food, the decorations, the drinks EVERYTHING! Highly recommend.

My husband and I got married on 9/9 and everything was AMAZING! From the moment we met with Ms. Cathy and her staff back in October 2015, the Graycliff provided nothing but exceptional service. Anytime I had a question (and I had many), Ms. Cathy and her staff responded very quickly. They made my husband and I feel so special! The food, drinks, and decor we astounding! Our Maitre D', John, was the ABSOLUTE BEST! He was there from the beginning to the end, making sure we had everything we needed and more. Ms. Cathy, John, Tony, and staff, we cannot thank you enough for making our wedding day everything we could've hoped for and MUCH, MUCH, MORE! If you are looking for a wedding venue, please HIGHLY consider The Graycliff. You will not be disappointed!

My husband and I got married here in February. It was an absolute DREAM COME TRUE! Cathy is an absolute doll and John was so on top of everything. I couldn't have asked for a more beautiful, over-the-top and most of all gorgeous wedding! We got so many compliments about everything, especially the food! That cocktail hour is a hard one to forget! We hope one day we will be invited to an event here to relive the day, it was really that perfect. Everyone is friendly and they really cater to anything that you want. If you are a control freak like me, this is the place for you! You tell them anything and they just say "no problem." Now that's service! Would highly recommend this venue to anyone for any occasion!

Everything was amazing from beginning to end.

We attended a surprise 50th last night Top Shelf Service My Family loves coming to this place I love the bar area with the huge piano really sets the mood .... I highly recommend to place to all my Family and Friends.

I cannot say enough good things about The Graycliff. From the first time I walked in, I immediately liked it. It is a very warm and comfortable place with very welcoming employees. It is also one of the few remaining venues that offers a free food tasting before you book. We were also invited to a lovely open house so we could see how the room looked for a wedding, sample food and drink and meet with other vendors from the area. Now the wedding. They set everything up for me exactly as I asked without me having to lift a finger. My matre de John went above and beyond to make my husband and I happy. The amount of food at cocktail hour was unbelievable and the service was top notch. You couldn't ask for better, even at the Venetian. My guests were very happy and so were we. Thank you Graycliff!

We just got married on October 2nd and unfortunately it POURED the entire day. The staff at Graycliff were wonderful. Charlie took care of every detail as the night went on. Fabulous time and the food is AMAZING. Thanks Graycliff for a spectacular wedding!

We just got married on July 19 2015, Our Wedding was amazing. All our guests are still talking about how they the stuff welcome them and how they had such a great time from the beginning through the end. All our guests are amazed at the quality of service and compliments the food. We absolutely enjoyed our wedding at the Graycliff. We loved everything the place, food and the service. Our maître D, John was excellent and so professional, he accommodated all of our needs and paid such great attention to all details. We had a great reception. We are coming back for sure, we highly recommend this venue. Five starts rating ( A+)

My husband and I got engaged in December 2013 and The Graycliff was one of the first places we thought to look at. From the moment we walked in we were greeted with big smiles and a warm staff. John helped us select our wedding package and helped us decide on all of the details. He was an asset to us during the planning process. He was super kind and amazing help. No matter how many silly questions we may have asked he was always helpful to the very end. The day of our wedding, August 30, 2014, was like a fairytale wedding come to life. Everything was perfect and went off without a hitch. Our maitre'd was the most kind and pleasant person. She made sure that everyone and everything was in place and attended to every one of our needs. The food was amazing, and was there food! Everything was set beautifully and was delicious! The staff at the Graycliff is extremely professional and helpful. A big thanks to the staff at the Graycliff for making our fairytale wedding come true!

My husband, family, friends, and I could not be happier with The Graycliff. Everyone there was always professional, patient, and helpful from the day we visited until the day of our wedding. They even set up and displayed our wedding programs, seating cards/table, and all the little extras like votives, giveaways, basket of flip-flops, and placed my late dad's framed photo on an easel near our sweetheart table. These gestures extremely helped to alleviate the stress of the-day-before-the wedding preparations. Finally, it was the day! Everything was great! The staff lead by our maître D was on point! All flowed very smoothly. My husband and I received many compliments how great our wedding was: the beautiful place/ballroom; the abundance of delicious food during the cocktail hour; and the professional and accommodating staff. My best friend plans to renew her vows here because she and her husband loved the place so much. At the end of the night, the whole wait staff were all present to make sure all our personal items were gathered and even assisted to help load it in our vehicles. If you are planning a special event, especially a wedding, you must choose The Graycliff! They are very affordable, flexible, courteous, and just overall great! Did I mention how great cocktail hour was?!? Thank you Graycliff for making our special day stress-free and a success!

My husband and I had our ceremony and reception at The Graycliff in the same room. After the ceremony, they sent everyone to the cocktail area to flip the room into the reception room. It was flawless and looked absolutely beautiful. They didn't forget anything we had brought to be put out. The maître-de was extremely calming and made sure everything and everyone was in place when it needed to be. We even had an issue with the flowers showing up late, and he got the phone number and took care of everything so I could relax before the ceremony. From booking the event to the final minutes of our wedding, everyone at The Graycliff made our day so special!

My husband and I just got married on June 14th, 2014 and our reception was at the Graycliff, From the first meeting with Cathy, the Banquet Manager, to booking to scheduling the food tasting and cake tasting, all the way up to the actual reception we could not have asked for better service. The entire staff, from Cathy to Tony to John to Charlie, helped us with scheduling our rehearsal dinner on the premises, and made our families feel like all they had to do was have a great time. The food was phenomenal; there are LOTS of choices for cocktail hour and the actual dinner. We had our reception in the Grand Ballroom, with our cocktail hour in the Greenhouse, and they provided us with many options for linen colors, napkin colors, and we were able to design the room however we saw fit. The ballroom is very pretty and spacious. The bartenders were very friendly and the waiters/servers were phenomenal. They, also, did a wonderful job at refunding us money when out of town guests canceled the week of; we called them and they asked us to come in and we had our money back in two days. They were, also, very professional and allowed my grandmother to make my wedding cake; in fact, when we delivered the cake the day before they were incredibly helpful. It was an incredible day, and a HUGE thank you to the Graycliff for their role in it!

The Graycliff was the perfect venue for our Christmas wedding. The decor was beautiful and provided a real Christmas feel. The staff was amazing to work with; they were professional and friendly. The food was great, and there was tons of it from beginning to end. All my guests had an amazing time! My husband and I would highly recommend the Graycliff for your wedding or event!

I absolutely enjoyed my wedding at the Graycliff. I loved the food and the service. I highly recommend this venue. John, Kathy and Tony make you a part of their family

The Graycliff was absolutely amazing, great food, amazing service. Will so come back here for future events!

Our Wedding was amazing. All of guest are still talking about how they had such a great time. They are amazed at the quality of service and compliments the food. Everyone thought the cocktail hour was the main event. Our guest was also very impressed with the banana flame show. John was excellent, he accommodated all of our needs and paid such great attention to details. We had a great reception.

Had my wedding at The Graycliff and I loved it! It is absolutely elegant, gorgeous, breathtaking! The service was great, food amazing in taste and abundance, and my guests all had great things to say about it. If I could give it more than 5 stars I would!

We just had our wedding at the Graycliff. We had really good experience with the staff there. They are quite helpful and are always trying to accommodate to our needs. Also the food at the Graycliff is very good - not the wedding reception food you usually get but yummy food our guests actually enjoy. The staff made sure that I got to eat something too as the bride. Overall, I highly recommend the Graycliff!

THE GRAYCLIFF WAS MORE THAN I EXPECTED.. THEY MADE MY DAY SPECIAL..THEY ARE VERY PROFESSIONAL AND THE FOOD AND SERVICE IS THE BEST.I RECOMMEND THEM TO EVERYONE.

This was my reception venue and I can't tell you how wonderfully the staff was! All of my guest commented on the pleasant staffs and over the top atmosphere of the venue. Our Matradee John was absolute blessing!!! He made our entire reception absolutely magical. The food was delouse and abundant. The bar never had a line and there was cocktail waitresses walking around making sure your glass was always full. I would recommend the venue to all of my family and friends!

The staff at The Graycliff knows exactly how to turn your dreams into reality when it comes to your weddings. My husband and I were blown away with how helpful everyone was when it came to making our day perfect! Working with Cathy was a breeze and never did we feel like we didn't know what was going on. From the statements our guests have made, the food was unbelieveable. The fireshow that was performed at the end of the night is something that people are still talking about. The creation of the candy buffet bar that was used as our favors looked like something out a fairytale the way it was designed by the team at The Graycliff. We highly recommend booking this venue and ask to work with Cathy and John!!!

They were so easy to work with through the whole planning process. They were flexible and such a value for the quantity and quality of the food that you are paying for. The wait staff was very accommodating to the needs of our guests. John was always one step ahead of us and was amazing. Our guests had a great time and gave so many compliments to the Graycliff. We HIGHLY recommend using them.

I couldn't have asked for a better wedding day! Tony and his staff made sure everything was picture perfect!! No detail was left undone!!!

I can't say enough great things about the Graycliff. Our wedding was the week after Hurricane Sandy and The Graycliff was up and running without any problems. The food was amazing, and we have received numerous compliments about it, especially the cocktail hour. The staff was accommodating and willing to work with our every request. Everything turned out perfect! I strongly recommend this venue!

you must book The Graycliff! The quality of food and service was beyond what we expected. Our Maitre D was on top of everything, we did not have to worry about a thing on our wedding day. From when we booked our date to the end of our reception, the entire staff at The Graycliff did an excellent job!!

I Highly recommend the Graycliff! They were amazing!! The food was delicious! Unfortunately i missed the cocktail hour due to my stupid hair dresser showing up two hours late but all my guests keep raving about how much food we had and how excellent it was! John the Mait r d was soo nice and always made sure we were ok and had whatever we needed. The fireshow was really cool and all our guests were thrilled with it. Overall, we had a great experience and the best wedding!!Hight highly recommend!

I had my wedding at The Graycliff this summer and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. The staff was amazing, especially the maitre d' John who was the best. The food was excellent, the service phenomenal, the attention to detail impeccable and ALL of my guests had a great time. I would recommend The Graycliff to any bride who wants to be certain her wedding will be worry-free.

As soon as we arrived they took us to the bridal suite, i was already running late but i wanted to have a pic in our room before all the guest were in there. Even though we were running late they allow us a few minutes for the pictures. Also my husband grandfather was not able to get into the bridal suite but the staff was great and brought them food to their table, even though cocktail hour was over. The room was great, they were able to work with me even 2 days before the wedding when i had to make some sitting changes. Everybody was amazed about the food i had lots of compliments of the good service. They made us feel like royalty. The fire show was great but all the desserts were even better..... Until the very last minute they got in touch with our hotel shuttle.... Amazing i wish i was able to enjoy the cocktail hour but i was running late.... I cant wait to be a guest at one of the Graycliff's wedding. We were also able to use the projector for some pictures with no charge :)

The Graycliff really exceeded all of our expectations. All of our guests loved the food, the service was wonderful, and our maitre d' John was really helpful and courteous. We had a budget that they worked with, but still provided the best service one could expect at their wedding. The statues outside made for some beautiful photos. There were no glitches or anything for our to worry about for our big day, because the staff at the Graycliff took care of everything to perfection. We were really happy to have chosen it as our venue.

The staff was great, I felt very attend to. The venue was fabulous. All my guest had an amazing time and are still commenting how beautiful everything was!

I am so glad that my now husband and I chose The Grayciff to host our wedding. It was by by far the best decision we could have made. Cathy was absloutely fabulous she delivered on everything we requsted. The staff the day of the wedding was great and the food was outstanding. My husband and I couldn't partake of the dessert bar and the staff packed up boxes of goodies to take with us. I would recommend The Graycliff again and again.

We saw a lot of different reception sites and the Graycliff was the best fit for having both the ceremony and reception. They were very nice and helped us plan a perfect wedding going over every detail with great care. Because it was a June wedding other venues were charging $$$$, but the Graycliff worked with our budget and gave us plenty of options. They happily answered all our questions and made us feel at ease for the big day. The day of the wedding was fantastic and a breeze. I was a diy bride without a professional planner and the staff at the Graycliff took care of everything; I didnt have to worry about anything they set up every last diy project beautifully. We were invited for a full menu tasting and tried everything from appetizers to entrees before the big day. Our guests are still talking about how great the food, and cocktails were for our wedding. They helped us pick out the perfect menu for cocktail hour and reception,no one left hungry. Everyone particularly loved the cheese carvings and the ice sculptures. Our maitre d made us feel like royalty and kept the entire bridal party on schedule. The staff were very courteous and professional the entire time, our guests all felt like VIPs. We took amazing photos in their newly renovated garden area, it was the perfect setting for both modern and traditional photos. There was another event on our day and we did not even notice, it was like the whole venue was just for us. I highly recommend the Graycliff to all diy brides on a budget who want an elegant dream wedding.

beautiful venue, incredible staff, the food was delicious, not at all like most reception food, cocktail hour was abundant, maitre'd was incredibly attentive to my husband and I, took care of us from the moment we got there to the moment we left. would absolutely recommend. Best value for the price.

We had our wedding at The Graycliff in May, 2012 and our guests are still talking about what a fabulous place the Grayciff was. Our maître d, John was fantastic, he was on the ball from the second we set foot on site. The cocktail hour was more then I envisioned and all of the food was delicious! When there was an issue with the hotel transportation John and the Graycliffs owner jumped right it to assist us. I would recommend the Graycliff time and time again!

The Graycliff really made everything seamless for our reception. The food was amazing (I wish I got to eat more of it) and the staff was always so courteous and professional. We loved working with them from start to finish. They were always extremely accommodating. At one point I thought I would need a day of coordinator but with the Graycliff, I really didn't. They took care of everything for the reception!
