The Legacy Castle

only beautiful, but the food and service was excellent. The owner Mounir is amazing to work with, he truly treats you like family and just wants the bride and groom to be happy with the event. We worked with Michelle and Anwar throughout planning and they were nothing short of professional, responsive, and attentive to detail. On a day that can easily get stressful, the legacy castle team ensured us to relax, enjoy the night, and to trust that everything will run smoothly. They were right!! Our bridal attendants Noella and Michelle, along with our maitre d' were patient, accountable, and treated us like family. THANK YOU for making our wedding day the best day ever, it was truly magical.

love of my life at. It is by far the most gorgeous venue I have ever seen in my entire life! Mounir, Anwar, and Michelle were nothing short of a pleasure to work with from start to finish. They accomadated all of our needs and went out of their way to give us our dream wedding. The wedding was a fairytale, literally. The bridal attendant was an angel and didn't leave my side the entire night. The service was amazing. The food was fantastic. The set up is one of a kind without leaving out any details. My guests could not stop talking about the beauty of the venue, the food, the service, and how it was the most gorgeous and elegant wedding they have ever been to! I can't thank the legacy castle enough for giving me and my husband our dream wedding and our happily ever after.

ire process the customer service was outstanding. Anwar is a true professional, personable, understanding, honest, accommodating and we felt comfortable with him from day one. Mounir is the owner but you wouldn’t know it. He comes out of his office and greets everyone that walks into the castle, we saw him picking up dishes, brought us coffee, answers the phones, and is down to earth. We were blown away by their kindness. We both got chills when we walked into the castle the first time and we knew we couldn’t have our wedding anywhere else! The planning process was organized and easy. Anwar responded to us within minutes and Michele is extremely organized and proactive, they didn’t miss a beat. The day of our wedding, Noelia and Ron rocked our world! We didn’t have to do a thing, they did it all. They were beyond attentive!!! They made the day stress free and easy! Ron and Noelia weren’t only beyond accommodating to us, my parents were blown away by their professionalism. They aren’t a Maitre D and bridal attendant, they are GODSENDS! They brought us in to see our Viennese table before everyone else and I was in tears. The service during the wedding from everyone was amazing. Our guests raved about the food and service! My husband and I (along with our family) are foodies. The food here EXCEEDED our expectations!!! The Legacy Castle was worth every penny and more. I highly recommend this venue. We will have our future events here for sure! Lauren and Ryan 11/9/2018

ude of the venue, large scale parking, and adequate ballroom seating for our guests. In addition, the venue is breathtaking -- from the spectacular grounds to the impressive décor-- tremendous effort was taken to create an awe-inspiring atmosphere at The Legacy Castle. Our event was completely seamless. We cannot say enough great things about how professional, thoughtful and organized everything was. Each staff member we encountered was courteous and extremely responsive to our needs. In the 20+ years of hosting this annual gala, this has been the best experience we have had with a venue. Our guests attend corporate events frequently but all remarked about the elegant ambiance and the overall wonderful experience they had. The Legacy Castle owner and managers aim to please and are responsive to the needs of their clients. I would not hesitate to recommend this venue for a corporate or personal event.

ruction back in the Spring of 2017. We literally watched our venue get built from the ground up and wow, what a transformation it was! Mounir and his team made us feel so comfortable throughout the process and always immediately addressed any concerns we had. Everything was absolutely PERFECT on my wedding day. The food and the service was amazing. I am still getting phone calls and texts from our guests about how it was the most BEAUTIFUL and extravagant wedding they had ever been to. Everyone has also been raving about how extensive and delicious our cocktail hour and Viennese was. My bridal attendant Val was incredible. She was so on top of everything and was constantly making sure that I had a drink in my hand and was taken care of and happy. She kept bringing up food and drinks to our bridal suite, made sure we had every dinner option on our sweetheart table, and even grabbed us a bunch of desserts from our Viennese so we could enjoy some when we got back from taking photos. I am SO thankful that I had someone like her with me all night long! Anything I needed, she was on top of immediately. She bustled my dress, which had 60 loops on it and carried my 15 foot long train everywhere!! Thank you again Val for doing such an amazing job. I don't think I would have gotten through that night without you!! Our Maitre d', Osama was absolutely amazing as well. So organized and on top of everything. The lighting in our room was perfect and the snow falling from the ceiling during our first dance was so magical. (If you are debating doing this or not, please do it!!! Your pictures come out amazing with the snow I promise you will be so happy you did!) I also love that as soon as the doors opened for our Viennese hour, he took us around before anyone else came in to show us exactly what was put out. He made sure every single detail of our wedding was perfect and was very good at communicating with us when he needed to throughout the night. The week of our wedding I had made a checklist and sent it over to the castle. This checklist explained exactly what I needed to be put out that day and how I wanted everything to be put away that night, pictures, table numbers, our favors, wedding signs, our toasting glasses, cake cutter and serving set, etc. Everything was placed perfectly and everything was put away exactly how I asked. Osama and his staff truly went above and beyond with my requests and were very organized. I just can't say enough good things about this amazing place. Michelle worked with me through the entire wedding planning process and I truly felt like her and Mounir were like family by the end. I even gasped when I walked into my own room because I couldn't believe how truly beautiful it was. If you want a true WOW factor, the Legacy Castle is it. Thank you so much again to Mounir and his team for giving us the wedding of our dreams!!!!! I am so happy I chose the Legacy Castle as my wedding venue!!!!

fantastic to work with ! they made it so easy from the day i booked it till the very end! they went above and beyond for me. i can’t thank them and their staff enough ! all of my guest say it was the best wedding they have ever been to! people didn’t even want it to end .. and niether did we! i cant wait to experience it as a guest in june!!! i promise you wont be disappointed!!

and Osama were the best people to work with. They all made sure that our wedding was exactly what we wanted! My husband (ah weird!) is a huge Knob Creek fan but he didn't see it at the bar during our walk through. What did they do? They ordered a TON of bottles and made sure he had his favorite manhattan on our special day :) I cannot say enough positive things about this venue. If you're looking to blow your guest away with first class service and breathtaking architectural detail while also having the most magical day/evening of your life... then booking your wedding at The Legacy Castle is a no brainer.

re first class .Mounir, Anwar, Osama we cannot thank you enough. Truly " The Best".

and Anwar were so accommodating and treated us like family. They responded to every phone call and text from us and our daughter. The reception was incredible, the staff and service amazing, and the food was beyond delicious. Every single guest had nothing but praise and told us it was the best wedding they have ever attended. Because of their commitment to making us happy, my daughter had the fairytale wedding she always dreamed of in the most beautiful castle ever!! Thank you! Thank you ! Thank you!

ver dreamed of! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!

have enough great things to say - Love, love, love!

or small. I had no doubt in my mind that this venue, once completed, was going to be anything but spectacular. I can't thank this team enough for the amount of detail and hard work they showed us throughout my entire wedding process. There is no venue out there like this from style to service!!

rvice and food. There is no other venue out there like this one and it is truly a gem , one of a kind .

been to a more amazing wedding and they doubt they ever will. Nothing more needs to be said. Thank You

happier! Anwar, Munir, Osama, Michelle, my bridal attendant Luisa, and the list goes on, were all the absolute best! Wish I can relive the day! So thankful!

so open minded and welcoming to all of our guests and made this experience so much easier for us. On the day of, the staff cooperated so well with my bridesmaids and to this day my maid of honor RAVES about our bridal attendant. They worked to make this day the best it could possibly be and I couldn’t have imagined doing my wedding anywhere else. The owner is hands on and present to make sure everything goes as promised. So thankful for the legacy castle and would recommend it to anyone looking for a classy, well kept and regal venue.

tacular! His entire staff has been ready and willing to answer all of our questions and address any concerns. The venue is over the top and we can’t wait for our guests to see this jaw dropping castle. I have zero doubts that this will be the event of a lifetime!

s! So accommodating and understanding, and even the owner, Mounir, reached out and made sure everything was going as we had planned! Our maitre D, Osama, did the most amazing job keeping our party organized and on time! When my husband and I arrived to the venue he took us to our party room and gave us a private showing to make sure everything was set up to our liking, he also explained the whole timeline to us and coordinated the speeches and special announcements with the DJ to keep everything running smoothly. He also watched my three nieces before they were introduced on the dance floor and did an amazing job with them! Osama kept to the timeline he promised without flaw and made the party so relaxing for my husband and I! I also wanted to give a special thank you to the host attendant, Anastasia. She made sure my husband, my kids, and I ate and drank and had everything we needed from the second we walked in until the second we walked out. She was super attentive and was always right there if I needed anything! Not to mention how amazing the staff was with helping us pack up and even carry our things to our car for us! The food during cocktail hour was unlike anything we had ever seen, beautiful displays and endless amounts of delicious food our guests could not stop talking about how great everything was! Thank you so much for making our sons Baptism day so fun and easy for us, we had the most amazing time! We can’t wait to have our future parties at The Legacy Castle!

are actually walking into a castle when you step inside Legacy Castle. My guests were taken away with its beauty and glamour. Next the staff... outstanding! Anwar and Michelle were so helpful and attentive throughout the entire process of scheduling and planning the shower. They were accommodating and willing to help with any request. An absolute pleasure to work with. The staff the day of the shower were just as amazing. Our maitre d' and bridal attendant as well as the wait staff and bartenders were courteous, friendly, attentive, and helpful. Everyone genuinely wanted to help and make sure that everything went smoothly. Lets move on to the food...magnificent! The food and presentation at the cocktail hour was beautiful, delicious, and plentiful. All of the guests were full just from cocktail alone. The sit down dinner was equally wonderful with a beautiful presentation. The owner, Munir takes great pride in his venue and stopped by to make sure that we were happy with everything. I have gone to many showers and weddings and eaten at many high end restaurants in both Manhattan and abroad. I can easily say this is the place to go for an event in NJ. I am so happy that we finally have a venue with both elegance and exquisite food in NJ. We will definitely be having many more events at The Legacy Castle in the future. Thank you all for an unforgettable day!

perly trained to ensure that the event went smoothly, but they also made sure the bride and grooms every need was met. Decor wise, the venue speaks for itself - ROYAL. It is one of the most gorgeous venues you will ever book. I am so happy to say I was married in this venue. I worked directly with Anwar, and he is amazing! He made sure all of our questions were answered and all of my last minute changes were done without me freaking out. Anwar showed great professionalism and left a great impression on my family and I. We are getting ready to book our next family wedding here because of the service. The food/dessert was worth adding into your package. I've never had so many happy guests and compliments on food selection. Lastly, I have to compliment the bridal attendant Ang, she was truly a life-saver and one of the best bridal attendants I have ever seen. The legacy castle truly takes their time to train their staff to meet their standards. Definitely book this venue!

a venue that you would look into. The food was exquisite; the venue is a beautiful, enchanted castle; the service is stellar-- they will bend over backwards for you, say “yes” to virtually any requests, and all with a kind professional attitude. The owner Mounir and his son Brandon, are very pleasant, humble people and professional. Since the beginning of the process until the end of our fairytale wedding, they made us feel special and cared for. Many of our guests told us it was the most beautiful wedding they have ever been to. Everyone was amazed at the beauty and grace of the castle. The food was so delicious and abundant in the cocktail hour and dinner. In the Legacy Castle, as many of my guests said, there’s nothing that could have been any better, everything was perfect. Anwar helped us plan everything and he was always there for help. During the wedding Angelia was on top of all our needs and requests. Anything you need, she will get it done for you. Their attention to detail and level of service is just amazing. From the preparation to the day of the wedding, everything went smoothly. If you want THE BEST in every way for your wedding, the Legacy Castle is your only option. Thank you Legacy Castle Staff, for making our wedding such a happy, beautiful, magical, memorable day. - The Rahal Family

e us feel amazing and did everything for us from day one. The staff of the Castle is a great example of true customer service from the valet to the coat check to the personal assistant we had (Febe) and our amazing maitre’d. The food and service was amazing. I can’t wait to host another party here. The Legacy Castle is the place to be and #1 for sure. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Eric and I are truly grateful for everything. Regard, Eric & Charisse Pagan

ly welcome. There is no venue that comes close to the elegance and hospitality that the Castle has to offer.

k you Mounir for creating such an amazing place!

ve party last night & felt obligated to write a review today about how lovely it was & what a fantasic time was had (by everyone!) Extravagance at its finest!

ely booking my baby shower at this place!

eaven every detail was taken care of! Thank you so much for everything you guys are the best!

uble set of doors. Breathtaking is an understatement. The service was impeccable! My bridal attendant Febe was like a little fairy! Not a single thing was missed or overlooked. Our guests could not stop complementing the food. During the wedding, Mounir went out of his way to go and buy a certain liquor that a guest wanted that they did not have. Anwar, Michelle and Osama went above and beyond to make sure our night and all planning involved went smoothly. After experiencing working so closely with the TLC team for several months in planning the most important day of our lives, we are confident this venue will have many many successful years. They truly strive to make every bride’s wedding a dream come true. Monica and Tory Marino

venue? I said if so that’s where I want to be married. I’ve always wanted to get married in a castle after our trip to Ireland back in 2011. For so long i would just refer to this place as the “castle” with no real idea when this place would be finished I just had a gut feeling I had to wait. Fall of 2016 came around and I had gotten word that this place was on track and going to be opening for Fall 2017, My husbands dad placed numerous calls trying to get in touch with someone to see if this was true. We had gotten an idea that they were set to open late fall. As soon as I was able to book a date I did and I happened to be the very first wedding to be booked. I remember the first time we toured just sheet rock and rooms being designed, the owner son Brandon gave us a tour top to bottom and answered all the questions I had. Amira the owners daughter who runs the Legacy Castles social media sites also played a big role in my journey planning this day! She had reached out to me via social media seeing I was getting married there, we had an instant connection, she would update me with photos and details so I wasn’t stressing prior to my big day! She made me feel comfortable and at ease during what would usually be a pretty stressful time. I was lucky enough to even have Amira come and visit me personally that day as I was getting ready in my bridal suite! Although there were a few hiccups with partnership along the way. The owner Mounir and the staff never gave me and my fiancé a reason to doubt ourselves or the choices we made by sticking with The Legacy Castle. What sealed the deal is when we were able to do a food tasting at the Legacy Castle I was blown away the chef was amazing the food was incredible! Totally upscale and elegant it gave me butterflies how good it tasted and knowing this would be served on our special day. Michelle and Anwar helped us in any way possible and made sure no question was left unanswered. Flash forward to our big day we worked closely with our bridal attendant Febe who was absolutely amazing and made sure every detail was done to perfection. We were personally greeted by the owner Mounir who treated us like family. Overall our day and experience was amazing. We look forward to attending events in the future at the Legacy Castle and keeping a close friendship with the Badaan family. Sincerely Amanda & Joe

ven get to the wedding day, let me just say that the staff, from day 1, was so helpful and honest. Back when the castle was still under construction, I had to be assisted by someone who works at the Brownstone, but he had messed up my schedule and didn't even register our event as a wedding, nor did he include a ceremony (he has since been replaced by the Castle's awesome staff so no worries). Even so, Mounir, the owner of the castle, kept the price that I was originally quoted, even though he could have easily increased the price from those changes alone. On my wedding day, we honestly weren't 100% prepared in regards to the centerpieces. We ended up bringing a bag full of random plants, flowers, books, and lanterns. The castle's staff set up EVERYTHING for us. They used these items in ways we didn't even think of. They set up our party favors, programs, and pretty much everything else so neatly. My bridal attendant was Angelia, and she was just the most amazing person ever. She even noticed a hole in my dress and sewed it up for me before the ceremony!! She constantly made sure that my husband and I were cared for, whether it was serving us food or retrieving our belongings... And once the wedding was over, all our centerpieces were neatly packed in boxes along with leftover food and cake, and everything was brought to my car for me. All our guests were in awe at how beautiful and amazing the place looked and many of them said my wedding was like a fairy tale wedding. Truly, the staff made us feel like a prince and princess in our own castle and I can't thank them enough for how hard they worked to make sure everything was perfect. Mounir, Anwar, Angelia, and all the staff who took care of us--chefs, servers, custodians, everyone...they truly made our day special.

venue in person for first time. Words cannot even explain just how absolutely beautiful this venue was. From the staircases, to the chandeliers, to the hand paintings on each wall, every detail of this place is out of this world. My sister had really wanted a christmas tree there for her wedding, and the owner Mounir Badaan went out the night before her wedding, bought a tree, and had set it up special for her. It was a great addition as you walked in for family and friends to take photos next too. They did a beautiful job lighting it and decorating it. That was just one of the many things he did extra for her. Any other requests she wanted, he made possible. Every vision she had, he made come true. Even the owners daughter, Amira was in contact with my sister as the venue was being built and stopped in personally the morning of her wedding to visit us in our bridal suite as we were getting ready just to give her best wishes. On top of the owner and his daughter being amazing, all the other staff was extremely helpful and kind helping us with our rehearsal dinner. I was so nervous because I've never been in a wedding before but everyone helped me feel comfortable and confident. Truly an amazing family. The one girl Febe who worked there was so great. Anything we needed, she was there. She was very on top of making calls to make sure everything was delivered, and was running around all day and night to make sure everything was perfect and running smoothly. All our family and friends that came to the wedding were blown away with the venue itself, and the food that was there. From the cocktail hour to the dinner itself, the food was delicious. Everyone couldn't get over how many stations were set up for the cocktail hour and how good the dinners were during the reception. I got to speak to the owner personally during the reception and he is one of the most down to earth people I've ever met. I told him how amazing the venue was and how amazing his staff is and he was so humble with everything. Overall my experience at The Legacy Castle was truly amazing. I would highly recommend this place to anyone and everyone.

you her word as if she has the authority to, but may not live up to it because she has absolutely no control over the decisions of her team. Anwar is extremely rude, unethical, and will throw Michelle under the bus whenever convenient. The owner, Mr. Badan, is a real-estate business man who does not understand normal business practices of the venue/catering industry. His business and operating partner, Manzo, pulled out (lots of media articles about this online) and that may have resulted in Badan losing the industry expertise that he needs. The team promised that they were holding the date for us, and when we were ready to give the deposit after making sure our preferred vendors were available on that date, they told us that the date had already been taken and apologized for this "human error". They then gave us another date and Michelle gave us her word that she would it hold it for three days. Except Anwar called the next day to tell us that he has gone ahead and booked another party for that date. He then had the gal to rudely tell us that we should have put a deposit down if we wanted that date (except that our promised date was not available when we went to put the deposit down). By this time, we were sure that their mistakes are not human errors but intentional (probably because they were getting more money from another party). Every other venue we considered held dates for us in good faith (this is an industry norm). If they had another interested party waiting, were graceful enough to call us and give us the option of putting down a deposit within 24 hours. Ultimately, we went for a venue that is a bit farther but a lot more beautiful, and that beauty is not only external but also reflects in the conduct of the staff, who we will happily deal with for the rest of the year.

e ultimately blown away by the amount, and variety, of delicious foods that their kitchen provided, along with service, which led us feeling like true royalty. Attention to detail seemed like a priority, and we definitely felt that - each detail was on point. The staff couldn't be more fabulous - all 230 guests couldn't stop raving all night about the quality, and amount of food (from the cocktail hour to the amazing viennese desserts), to ice sculptures, nothing was left unattended. Our guests mentioned how much they loved having cocktails on the balcony, overlooking the water, and felt like the day was a "magical experience". Anwar, along with the entire staff, were the most professional, patient, and pleasant people to work with. From the beginning of our journey with them, right through our wedding day, they treated my new husband and I like a king and queen, in their unbelievable castle. We highly recommend booking your next event, and especially wedding at The Legacy Castle - you will feel like true royalty. 👑

you enough!

ghly recommend it for any event

d who was on to of everything. The place was breathtaking, the food and drinks were delicious and my shower was something I will never forget. Very happy Tommy Manzo is no longer affiliated with the Castle! I highly recommend the Castle!

oing to unfold. The staff is truly helpful and they make you feel at home. They even allowed us to take pictures there for my engagement shoot. For any bride or groom shopping for a venue, I strongly suggest to check them out.

someone there to make you feel right at home. To say that this place was incredible would be an understatement. Not only is it gorgeous, but from the minute I walked in to book my appointment, I was treated like family. Anwar and Michelle did a wonderful job with helping myself and my fiance with our planning, and it almost seemed as if they had known us forever! A note to future brides: the bridal suites are to die for! By the time we left the castle, we were sure we had chosen the right place. I am so excited for my 2018 Fall wedding!!

stle should be your first and last stop- they’ll help you from A-Z! Highly recommend!! Cannot wait to see how successful this venue will get when it’s completely done!

o made this experience that much more for us. He went above and beyond to make sure that our day was exactly what we had always dreamed of. If it wasn't for Tommy my experience would not have been the same. When my limo did not arrive to pick us up from The Castle, Mounir did not hesitate to offer his personal car, to drive us himself, to where we needed to be. I could not thank everyone enough for helping to make my day that much more special. On top of all of that, you are also provided with a Bridal Assistant. My Bridal assistant was Angelia and she was just as over the top as the venue. She was by my side the whole night making sure that my veil and dress were always laid out perfectly for pictures. She was equipped with all of the emergency things a bride would need on her big day. At one point I had ripped the hook for my bustle and she sewed a new hook back on. The venue, food, staff , and owners were amazing and I could not have asked for more.

in my mind that my wedding will be amazing! Thank you so much!

tched to anything in the tri-state area. The attention to detail thoughout the property is breathtaking. We also had a chance to meet with the owner and his daughter who shared their vision and passion with us. The food and cocktail package was overwhelming! We couldn't imagine being married at any other venue. We look forward to our wedding at The Legacy castle!

stina G is referring to. This place has been transparent and clear on pricing and have been more than available every time we have reached out. Highly recommended from what we see and can't wait for our big day! Oh and the food options look incredible!!

enus, after party menus and pricing. Afterwards, they didn't answer my emails or phone calls for over a month. When I finally got in contact with someone, we set up another apt. Only to find out they changed the menu they originally gave us, shortened the time of the event and open bar, couldn't tell us where the ceremony or after party would be, and lastly, tried to charge us $300 pp instead of the $175 pp we were quoted the first time and even had a copy of the contract, but still refused to keep their word. Completely unprofessional, not even a courtesy call or email afterwards apologizing for wasting our time. I was understanding to many things being it was under construction and still working out all the kinks, but the lack of customer service and sticking to their original agreement was very disappointing and concerning. How many things would they have changed on us along the way?
