The Hamilton Manor

ot only is the venue itself gorgeous, but the people that work there are some of the kindest people you will ever meet. They truly care about their couples and my husband and I felt that from the very beginning. We had the honor of working with Diana, and throughout the entire process she made us feel at ease and was there with anything we needed. The wedding day ran so seamlessly thanks to Diana and her team. They made sure all the vendors were aware of what to do and when and ensured the day ran smoothly. After the wedding, guests could not stop complimenting the venue and the food. The Hamilton Manor truly deserves an honest 5/5 star rating. 

ding up to the wedding, she made sure all of our questions were answered, and even when we dropped off our items the day before, we felt completely comfortable and confident. On the day of the wedding, everything ran seamlessly, we seriously had no issues. The staff was literally on top of every detail. We had LJ as our Maitre’D, Olivia as our Day-of Coordinator, and Hannah as our Bridal Attendant, and they were all incredible. They kept everything on schedule and made the entire day feel effortless. We also added the Lighting Package and the Bridal Party First Look Package and I can not recommend it enough. It gave us so much extra time for photos and alleviated the stress of having to do everything during cocktail hour! Plus both bridal suites were fully stocked with beverages and sandwiches for our group. I’m also so happy to say that the food ended up being one of the most talked-about parts of our wedding! Not just the overwhelming quantity, but how genuinely good everything was. For cocktail hour, we added the Pressed Cast Iron Panini Station, the Italian Grill, and the Wok Station, and all three were a huge hit. We also decided to add the Lounge Flip Wall and our guests loved it, they kept commenting on how cool it was! For dinner, we chose the duet entrée (Petite 4 oz. Filet Mignon and Blackened Salmon), with Eggplant Rollatini as the vegetarian option, and we heard rave reviews across the board. My husband and I barely ate because of the adrenaline and wanting to be on the dance floor, but what we did have was honestly great. For dessert, we added the Italian Pastry Bar and the Boardwalk Station, which was the perfect ending to the night. We also brought pre-made to-go boxes, and HM helped guests pack up desserts to take home, which was such a great touch after such a full cocktail hour and dinner. Overall, we would choose Hamilton Manor again and again. Everything was executed perfectly, the staff was amazing, the food exceeded expectations, and the entire team was amazing to work with 🤍

ne when we fell in love with the venue. She let us come back with both our families to make them love it just as much as we did! She was soooo responsive to all my annoying and nagging emails, never making me feel like I was annoying or nagging. Throughout the process she was the best point of contact.   Hannah & Olivia were such a great team with keeping me sane during photos and making sure everything was seamless. They were usually within feet of me and never made me feel unattended. They held our cellphones if needed, had tissues ready for those emotional times, kept us on schedule for ceremony time and made sure we were well attended to prior to the ceremony and reception. They ran such a tight ship! Never was I nervous we were going to run late, even though I asked so many times for a time check, they calmed me continuously.  Lloyd (LJ): OMG I can not say enough about LJ. Every single person loved him. He made us, our parents and bridal party feel like family all day and night. He was bopping around the venue before all the festivities making sure everyone was attended to even though he wasn’t on yet. During the reception he was literally the best person ever. We felt like he was family by the end of the night. I’m still hearing about how well attended people felt with him. He made sure one concern we had was addressed appropriately and would not be a further issue due to the severity of it.   The entire team at HM was so great to work with. I met the owner Andre a few times as well and he also made us feel like we were his family the entire process. My vision for my decor was executed perfectly without me having to change a thing!  I’m still hearing about the amazing food and how no one went home hungry! From the beautiful cocktail hour, including our private cocktail hour, to the duet plate (short rib and salmon) to the dessert and late night stations, everyone raved about the quality and quantity!  I’m so happy we chose the HM for our beautiful, special day. Forever will I recommend them to anyone that is getting married!

ough the doors, we fell in love with this venue! Each location within the venue offers a different and unique atmosphere - whether it's the sophistication of the Library Oak Room, the whimsy of the outdoor arch and photo ops, or the breathtaking glamourous ballroom. The staff were very professional and our Wedding Director, Cheyenne, was so quick to respond to all of my questions. And as a professional event planner, I had a lot! Cheyenne (Wedding Director), Kristen (Day of Coordinator), Milan (Bridal Attendant), and Lloyd (Maître D') were AMAZING! They were so attentive and were able to anticipate our needs before we even needed them. We've gotten so many compliments from our guests about the staff, as well as the FOOD! So much food! And not just food. DELICIOUS food! Everyone in attendance left happy and full. I cannot say enough positive things about our experience at The Hamilton Manor. We would choose it again and again. It was truly the best day ever and I cannot thank their team enough!

this was our perfect venue. Our friends and family were blown away by the venue. They cannot stop talking about how beautiful every space was and how this was one of the best cocktail hours they ever had! The entire staff was beyond incredible, starting with Diana, who made us feel at home right away and made sure every single detail was perfect. We couldn’t have asked for a better day-of team, who kept everything running smoothly, made sure every single ask was accommodated, and ensured all the guests were taken care of. Special shout out to Olivia, Carmen, and LJ for going above and beyond to make our wedding day truly unforgettable. We could not recommend Hamilton Manor more for anyone looking to have their wedding there, and we hope to return as guests and experience it all again!

ilton Manor was the first and only venue we looked at and we secured the date that day & it was the best decision we could have made! From the staff to the food to the grounds, it was all magical. We cannot say enough incredible things about every staff member here. We didn’t have an ounce of stress because they were there for us every step of the way! They were organized, responsive, and genuinely invested in making our day perfect. On the day of, they handled every detail with such care and professionalism that we were able to fully relax and be present, which is truly priceless! We had so much fun with everyone!  Special shoutout to Melissa, Emily, Hannah, and LJ for being absolute rockstars and really showing us so much love!!  Thank you thank you thank you to The Hamilton Manor for being a part of the best day of our lives!!! 

unforgettable day of our lives. We first discovered The Hamilton Manor in August 2023, and from the moment I stepped into the ballroom, I was completely overwhelmed (in the best way). It was an instant, emotional “yes.” Every detail of the venue is stunning and impeccably maintained. While the barn underwent some changes over the past 2 ½ years, any hesitation quickly faded, as it ultimately enhanced the beauty of our wedding day. The bridal and groom suites are equally impressive. They were spacious, elegant, and thoughtfully designed. If you can, definitely recommend doing your getting ready photos there! Although we were flexible with our wedding date (we wanted to avoid spring & summer), The Hamilton Manor was nearly fully booked for 2025. We were honored to become their first booked wedding for 2026! Diana gave us our tour and ended up being our wedding director as well! Diana was exceptional throughout the entire planning process. She remained consistently communicative, patient, and incredibly attentive—always answering every question (even when I asked the same one more than once). As the big day approached, her support only increased, and she was always available when we needed her. From last-minute changes to special surprises, she handled everything with grace and expertise. Her kindness and dedication truly set her apart, and we feel so fortunate to have worked with her. On the day of the wedding, we were supported by an outstanding team: Caitlyn (Day-of Coordinator), Charlotte (Bridal Attendant), and LJ (Maître d’). They were nothing short of phenomenal, truly a dream team! Caitlyn and Charlotte ensured that everything ran seamlessly, allowing us to be fully present and enjoy every moment. I had been nervous about having the rehearsal on the same day, especially with a large bridal party, but Caitlyn managed it flawlessly - it was organized, smooth, and stress-free. LJ brought such a wonderful energy to the day, always making sure we had a drink in hand and a smile on our faces. He even jumped in to assist our photographers with a creative elevator shot, which was an unexpected and memorable moment! And of course, the food deserves its own recognition. Every glowing review you’ve read is absolutely true. The cocktail hour was beautifully presented, and the variety and quality of the food were exceptional. We chose the signature cucumber margarita and it was a standout! Our guests are still talking about it! We initially had some hesitation about the duet entrée, but it ended up being perfect, as our guests could not stop raving about the meal. To the entire Hamilton Manor staff - THANK YOU! From the planning process to the execution of our wedding day, you made this journey seamless, joyful, and truly unforgettable. We are so grateful to be part of the Hamilton Manor family and we miss y’all! With all our love, The Shuldhams❤️

ator Caitlyn, our Bridal Attendant Hannah, and our Maître d' Adrian were incredible and made everything seamless. Also, special shoutout to server Gail who really had the party going! We loved having her dancing with our guests! Everything was planned and executed perfectly and we just had to show up and have fun! Our guests also kept raving about how attentive all the staff were and how smoothly everything flowed. They really know what they're doing and helped walk us through the entire process. We felt like true VIPs the entire day! What initially sold us was the venue itself. I don't know how much I really need to say about that because once you see it, you know. Every single nook and cranny is so beautiful and impeccably maintained. We wanted somewhere elegant and classy but also a little rustic and fun and HM completely nails it. Every time I came back to make payments or meet with our director I noticed even more details. I really just love being in the space. We need to take a moment for the food because WOW. Everything from the cocktail hour spread to the dinner to dessert was delicious. My only regret for the day was that I didn't get a chance to try every single food because I know it was all amazing. Time and stomach space just wouldn't allow it. We got so many comments from our guests about how good everything was! We got our cake from Palermos through HM as part of the package and holy cow I will be dreaming about that cake for the rest of my life. The Hamilton Manor also recommended some great vendors for DJs, photo, etc. We used their list and loved working with every single one of our vendors. Big shoutout to Limelight Entertainment, Limelight Photo & Video, Ivy On Main Florals, Prop Hair Studio, and Rev. John O'Sullivan! Our wedding day was everything we could have dreamed and more! I want to shout from the rooftops about how great our entire experience was. I am now trying to convince any and all of my engaged friends to have their wedding here so I can keep coming back.

rything. She walked us through pricing with total honesty which meant a lot to us since not every venue is so forthcoming. Not only did we appreciate the staff from the start, but we fell in love with the venue itself. Every space in the venue is stunning and so much is included in the price that it simplified the planning process.  The entire planning process was seamless. Diana sent guidelines about what we needed to complete every step of the way and was extremely responsive to any questions that we had. I was also impressed with their patience with me. I am a control freak and sent an extensive document with photos of where I wanted all decor to be placed during drop-off and they adhered to every single instruction flawlessly.  While I was thrilled to be able to add so many personal touches to the venue, the venue itself is stunning without any added decor. I had always wanted a barn wedding while my husband wanted a grand ballroom, and Hamilton fully delivered the most beautiful combination of both of our needs. One thing I would recommend is to utilize the extra two hours for photos that they offer so that you can really get a chance to enjoy the venue the day of. Not only did this allow for us to take photos in every unique space, but it also gave us a chance to enjoy the space with our family and bridal party. As we utilized the space for extra photo time, we had the best service all day in the bridal and groom suites. The suites were beautiful and fully stocked with food and drinks that kept everyone happy all day. I was also beyond grateful that the staff took my dietary restrictions (gluten and dairy) into consideration. Not only was the bridal suite stocked with gluten free and dairy free snacks and drinks for me, but the staff was careful to ensure that everything I consumed the entire day adhered to my restrictions.  Not only was the venue accommodating with allergy-friendly food options, but the food overall was phenomenal. We had attended a wedding there before and loved it, but ours exceeded expectations. The cocktail hour had endless options and dinner was phenomenal, with the duet entrée truly standing out — I’m still dreaming about the short rib. Dessert was unique with options I have never seen at weddings before. It is not every day you can get fried Oreos and churros with your wedding cake. Every bite was incredible and our guests are still raving about the food. Overall, the variety and quality included in the price per plate were incredibly impressive. The staff truly set The Hamilton Manor apart. Diana coordinated everything flawlessly. Our day-of coordinator, Caitlyn, went above and beyond (even bustling my dress and entertaining my three year old nephew during photos). Milan, my bridal attendant, and Lloyd, our Maitre D’, were attentive, fun, and genuinely invested in making the day perfect. The entire team felt like they were celebrating with us. Getting married in NJ can feel financially overwhelming, but The Hamilton Manor was an incredible value. For the stunning venue and everything included (food, alcohol, cake, service, décor, and more), it was worth every penny. If you’re considering The Hamilton Manor, book it. It was the best decision we made, and we would choose them again in a heartbeat. 

would.  We had previously attended a wedding at HM as guests and we texted our parents and told them that this will be our wedding venue. Sure enough once we set our first appointment with Diana, it just solidified everything.  From day one Diana was amazing to work with. She is so friendly, and the sweetest person ever. From first walk through to EVERY little detail forward, Diana was there making everything as smooth and easy as possible. Even through my crazy middle of the night emails, she assured me everything was okay and going to be amazing and it was nothing short of that.  When the day of came, we didn’t feel worried or stressed we knew we were in good hands with the HM team. Caitlyn and Hannah were there from the second I arrived the day of, making sure I had everything I needed. Even falling over snow to help me lol. Truly a dream team.  LJ our maître d was our own hype man through out the entire wedding reception. He was there on the dance floor with us, making sure we were good, that we ate, had drinks etc.  Everything about this day was PERFECT!  Our guests did not stop talking about the amazing cocktail hour was , the dinner, and how beautiful the venue was. They have not stopped raving about that night and honestly we can’t either. I cannot recommend The Hamilton Manor enough for all future brides and weddings. Truly the best night and dream come true 🤍🤍

g of the night, we felt completely cared for, supported, and celebrated. Diana, our wedding director, made the entire planning process feel effortless. She brought such calm, confidence, and organization to every step. No question was too small, no detail overlooked. Because of her, we were able to truly enjoy our engagement knowing everything was in the best hands. On our wedding day, Kristen ensured that everything flowed perfectly. I never once felt stressed or overwhelmed because she was always one step ahead, quietly making sure each moment unfolded exactly as it should. She allowed us to be fully present, soaking in every second without worry. Milan, my bridal attendant, was truly my fairy godmother. She anticipated needs before I even realized I had them. From adjusting my dress to making sure I had water, a moment to breathe, or anything at all, she made me feel so special and cared for. I will never forget the comfort and kindness she showed me throughout the day. Lloyd, our maitre d’, went above and beyond in every possible way. If our hands were empty, he was there with a drink. If we or our families needed anything, he was already taking care of it. His attentiveness, warmth, and genuine care did not go unnoticed. He made us and our loved ones feel incredibly important. And the food was beyond incredible. Truly a 1000 out of 10. Our guests are still talking about it and telling us they have never experienced a wedding quite like ours. The quality, presentation, and service were exceptional. Hearing our friends and family say it was the nicest wedding they have ever attended means everything to us, and that is such a testament to The Hamilton Manor and the amazing team behind it. We wish we could relive the day over and over again and somehow make it last longer. It was elegant, joyful, seamless, and filled with love. We are endlessly grateful to The Hamilton Manor for giving us the wedding of our dreams and memories we will cherish forever. With all our love and gratitude, Alissa and Jarred

as amazing as it was, the staff at Hamilton Manor were nothing short of amazing. The staff felt like family, from our maître d’, LJ, my bridal attendant, Hannah, Erin, Olivia and all the staff at HM! They truly know how to make every wedding feel unbelievably special. They made sure we ate, always had a drink in our hand and were having the absolute most fun! My dress was not easy to bustle and somehow the girls along with my wedding planner got it done in 15 minutes (even my seamstress was shocked lol)! I couldn’t recommend Hamilton Manor any more, our guests are still raving about the food, atmosphere and how much fun the wedding was! Side note, it also rained on my wedding day, and it had absolutely no effect on me or my husband! The wedding was just as beautiful, the photos were just as breathtaking and it went off without a hitch despite the crazy weather! And that’s most definitely a nod to how stunning the venue is outside and inside, and how great the staff do at making sure absolutely nothing puts a damper on your day, even a hurricane lol!  If you want a venue that has so many stunning photo opportunities outside and inside and staff that feel like friends and family, look no further! Truly the easiest and best choice I made during wedding planning!  To the Hamilton Manor staff, THANK YOU again from the bottom of our hearts for one of the most unforgettable, spectacular nights of our lives! I would recommend you guys 1000x over, but you already know that! Love always, The Matthews

Kristen, Hannah, and Lloyd, made it a day to remember. From locking in on the day three years ago, Diana was always there. She was extremely easy to talk to and was always so excited for us as our wedding day was approaching. She was not only our wedding director, but truly was a friend during the entire process. When my husband and I were shopping around for a wedding venue, all that I had asked for was rustic but romantic, and the Hamilton Manor DELIVERED. The barn was the most beautiful place to get married in, and the lanterns were a bonus! But the reception area was breathtaking- it truly brought tears to my eyes because HM brought my vision to life.  On the wedding day, it was truly seamless. From the personal photos taken during the time our photographer was taking photos of my husband and I outside, to the organization of our LARGE bridal party before the ceremony. NOT TO MENTION!!! The cocktail hour was phenomenal. All of our guests have ranted and raved over the food, and it couldn't have been a more amazing experience. I will say, many of my guests have spoken very highly of LJ- saying how respectful and attentive he was. But Kristen and Hannah were also SO amazing. They both attended to every ask that I had before the ceremony, and I am eternally grateful.  HM- We hope to be back as a guest for a future wedding. Thank you for everything! 

NJ and after we toured The Hamilton Manor we knew right away this was the place for us. Our guests are still reaching out over a week later to tell us how beautiful the venue was and how great the food was. From the bride and groom's perspective, our day was absolutely perfect, not a single complaint as everything was as smooth as can be. Erin, Kristen, Hannah & Lloyd, helped make everything go smoothly and accommodated all of our needs and wants to make our day so special. We had used Limelight Entertainment as our DJ, Marquee Photo & Video, Ivy on Main as our florist, and Palermo's bakery for cake. The Hamilton Manor offers a little bit of everything for everyone. Anyone looking for a wedding venue in NJ we strongly encourage you to add The Hamilton Manor to your list. We are extremely thankful for the entire Hamilton Manor team and all the vendors that made our day so special.

the day, was so helpful and responded quickly whenever we had questions. On the day of our wedding we had Erin, Ella, Olivia, and Llyod (LJ). Everyone was SO attentive and so nice not just to us but to our bridal party and our guest as well. They made sure everything was set up beautifully, made sure the day ran smoothly, made sure my husband and I ate and always had a drink. After the wedding, we kept talking about how great they were and how we felt so attended to the entire day and night. The food here is AMAZING. They offer you so much and everything was so delicious. Our guests continue to rave about the food! This was hands down the best night of our lives thanks to the Hamilton Manor. I cannot recommend them enough!

food, to the photos, ceremony, cocktail hour & reception- everything was seamless and so enjoyable. Not only is the venue extremely beautiful, the staff is efficient, attentive & made the entire experience as stress free as possible. The food is to die for & the service was incredible. Every need was met & it was a night that we will continue to reminisce on for the rest of our lives.  

respond, and easy to communicate with. She made the planning process feel seamless and stress-free. The venue itself is absolutely beautiful, and our guests couldn’t stop raving about the different spaces throughout the property. The food and cocktail hour were truly second to none — so many options and everything was absolutely delicious! The day-of team went above and beyond to make everything perfect. Olivia, our bridal attendant, and Caitlyn, our day-of coordinator, were AMAZING — so kind, accommodating, and on top of every little detail. And Lloyd, the maître d’, was a total crowd favorite who really kept the party going all night. Hamilton Manor gave us the wedding day of our dreams, and we couldn’t be more grateful for the entire team that made it happen. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a beautiful venue with an incredible staff!

with us in a timely manor!! Day of the wedding we were taken care of so well by the entire team, my husband specifically loved LJ!! He made sure our drinks were never empty! My family also loved their server Gail!!! She not only did her job well but had a great time doing so!! Our family and friends were blown away by how much food we had, and how good it all was! Love the crew at Hamilton manor, I wish we could relive our day over and over again. Highly recommend them to organize and put on your special day 🤍

She always got back to us in a timely matter and during a process that can be very stressful she made us feel very calm throughout the whole thing, any moment that we felt a little anxious about any situation she was able to really make us feel better about it. When the big day finally came, we also had the pleasure of working with Kristen, Olivia & Lloyd. They really made the entire night flow so perfectly. I highly recommend booking your wedding at the Hamilton Manor!
