You cannot go wrong with choosing this venue. Lisa was amazing to work with from booking the venue to the day of the wedding. Marcella, Nimfa, and Yasmin were delightful to work with day of. As the bride, I did not have to lift a finger that day or have to worry about anything. This venue keeps you well fed, hydrated while on the dance floor, and takes care of your every need. The bridal suite had all the amenities a bridal party may need and more. Our guests could not stop raving about the food and how beautiful the hall and ceremony space was. I could not be happier choosing the venue for our special day!

We had our large Indian wedding at this venue, and everything was perfect! The vendors recommended by the venue were amazing, the planners let us keep a flexible Indoor/Outdoor Plan based on the weather. The people working the day of made everything easy and were such a help, and I would absolutely recommend this venue to anyone looking to get married!

We had our event on the 15th of this month
( 9-15-2024)…… It was my and reception and we had over 350 guests…. I have no words to even begin to describe how satisfied we as a family are and how happy my son and daughter in law were with my choice of choosing this venue….. Dave is always par excellence but during the event Marcella the Maiter”d and Yasmin the bridal suite attendant went above and beyond to make this a dream experience. Thanks Dave and entire team of Salman and Syeda reception, for making it a memorable and mesmerizing experience.. If I could give 10 stars, I would gladly do that.

We had our wedding and reception at the Marigold in August 2024, and the day could not have been more perfect! Not only is the venue gorgeous, but the entire Marigold staff was incredible to work with throughout the entire process. We initially worked with Dave, one of the owners, to plan everything, and then with the rest of the team on the day of. Chang, our Maitre D, was very organized and kept our day on time, while overseeing all of the set up and breakdown of each part of the events. And a very special thanks to Ninfa, our bridal attendant, who was by my (bride) side from 5am to midnight and anticipated not only my needs, but also the groom's and our parents' needs even better than we could. She made all the difference.
Our guests all enjoyed the wedding very much, and are still complimenting us on how the day went. We highly recommend having an event at the Marigold – they are experts at what they do and it shows!

Our wedding at Marigold was nothing short of magical. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with unparalleled warmth and professionalism. The venue itself is a breathtaking blend of elegance and charm, offering stunning views that provided the perfect backdrop for our special day.
The staff at Marigold went above and beyond to ensure everything was flawless. Their attention to detail and dedication to making our vision come to life was truly remarkable. Every aspect, from the beautifully arranged floral decorations to the exquisite cuisine, exceeded our expectations.
The spacious and beautifully designed event areas allowed us to seamlessly transition from our ceremony to the reception. Our guests were in awe of the ambiance, and many commented on how it was the most beautiful wedding they had ever attended.
We are incredibly grateful to the team at Marigold for making our wedding day an unforgettable experience. If you are looking for a venue that combines stunning beauty with exceptional service, Marigold is the place to be. We wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone looking to create memories that will last a lifetime.

Our entire experience with The Marigold, right from the time of initial contact to the completion of the wedding ceremony was excellent. As a family, we could not ask for more. The venue is spectacular and perfect to celebrate a milestone event, and make memories to cherish for a lifetime. Every member of The Marigold team makes you feel special - always available to answer questions, and to lend a helping hand with a smile - whether it is at the time of booking the venue, or coordinating details a couple of weeks prior to the event, or on the day of. If you are looking for a venue which combines aesthetics with professionalism, and is stress-free, look no further. A special place for your special day!!

My Husband & I had our wedding & reception at the Marigold in March 2024. We are so incredibly happy with our decision of choosing the Marigold. Not only is the venue beautiful, but the staff is amazing & were so accommodating and helpful through the planning process. Dave (one of the Managers) was so great with communication & was really helpful throughout the process. He was kind and was wonderful to work with. Ninfa, my bridal attendant.. there are not enough words that I can say about this woman. She was absolutely an angel. She was so incredibly helpful & so incredibly thoughtful throughout the entire day. During our reception, my Husband & I were having the time of our life & when Ninfa approached me for dinner, I told her we were ok and did not want to eat at the moment. Thinking ahead, she went and packed every single food item for us in containers and at the end of the night when we realized we didn't eat all evening, we had food that Ninfa packed. That's just one example of how thoughtful & amazing she was. Throughout the day, she wasn't just helpful to me (although she focused on my needs the most), but she was helping my Mom change in between the wedding & reception, helping her put her legs up in the bridal suite to relax for a few minutes in between events... I mean, just simply AMAZING. I can't recommend the venue & specifically Ninfa enough!

We are so glad we chose the Marigold for our wedding, even though we live about an hour away. Our guests agreed that it was definitely worth the drive! The setting was lovely, the rooms were spacious, the food was plentiful and delicious, and the staff was extremely helpful. From start to finish, Lisa and everyone else who works there went out of their way to accommodate our needs. I highly recommend the Marigold!

If I could give The Marigold more than 5 stars, I would. The Marigold was my wife and my second stop when we were venue hunting. It was immediately my favorite venue from the start. The grounds are beautiful and I knew it would be perfect for our fall wedding. Lisa was incredible. She was so attentive in answering all my questions, no matter how crazy I thought they were or how many emails I sent. The food package was insane and more that I could've ever imagined that we would have at our wedding. We had everything we ever wanted: amazing cocktail hour, amazing dinner options, and the dessert.. oh the desert! When Lisa mentioned a Donut Wall and Ice Cream Sundae Bar, my wife was sold. There was no way we would choose any other venue. Lisa also recommended a pop up espresso vendor being that the venue does not serve espresso. I was so appreciative because that was something my dad requested (it was a hit!). The food was to die for. Absolutely incredible and exceeded our expectations. People are still talking about how amazing the food was. We also have a few vegetarians in our wedding and Lisa provided so many options for us to choose from. The one we went with was a hit with those family members, which made us very happy. There aren't enough words to express our gratitude for Ninfa (bridal attendant) and Marcella (maître d). They made this day go so smooth. If anything went wrong, we had no idea about it. Everything was handled for us and I couldn't be more appreciative. Ninfa was my right hand the whole day. She went above and beyond with anything and everything that my wife and I needed, from helping me change shoes and bustling my dress to making sure my wife's vest was sitting correctly and tying her shoes. Marcella was the backbone of the whole day. She was attentive to all the needs of that day, making sure I was being taken care of versus me trying to take care of everyone else. She had my back and made sure Ashley and I had everything we needed. Anything we had questions on throughout the night, she was our go to. The staff was so incredibly nice and were the most amazing team I could've asked for in a venue. The bartenders were so positive and full of smiles to us and our guests. My dad requested espresso martinis (with the help of Cupa Cabana) and the bartenders made them absolutely perfect. It was such a nice touch to the end of the evening. I could go on and on about The Marigold and how amazing our wedding was. It was one neither us or our guests will ever forget. Thank you so much to Lisa and the staff of The Marigold for everything. It really was our dream wedding thanks to you all.

We came across the Marigold by chance and boy am I glad we did. The venue is gorgeous and constantly maintained by landscapes and staff. In the time leading up to our wedding, Lisa was very responsive and accommodating in all questions we had for her. The food tasting was incredible and reminded us what we were looking forward to as our wedding day approached. The day of went seamlessly. Anything that “went wrong” was quickly resolved. All staff were attending to me, the wedding party, and our guests. I cannot recommend the Marigold more for exceeding all expectations from planning to execution.

The Marigold was a phenomenal venue from the beginning! I couldn't have asked for a more perfect wedding day. The staff was extremely friendly and professional. The decor both inside and out was well maintained and definitely had a fall vibe to it. The food was out of this world and I was not disappointed at all. The Marigold took care of EVERYTHING, so I felt like the whole process was stress free. A year later and my guests still talk about my wedding and how beautiful it was. There is not one thing I could say I was disappointed about. I recommend this venue to anyone who is looking for a perfect day to remember for the rest of your life!

Words wont do justice to express how grateful we are to the whole team at The Marigold. We picked this venue for our daughter’s wedding reception. The venue was perfect and the staff was awesome. Right from the moment we arrived at the venue to the end - all were extremely helpful. They were so flexible that a last minute request to extend the end time by 30 minutes was immediately accommodated. Not only did they do that, they also took it upon themselves to call up the shuttle service to request them to run the shuttle for 30 extra minutes. Thanks Dave and team, for helping make a memory of our lifetime! We could not have done it without you!

Not only is it a beautiful venue but the staff is truly amazing. Lisa was always so kind and responsive throughout the whole process! She really helped in making our experience run smoothly and seamlessly. Marcella and Nimpfa were the BEST martie d’s. We couldn’t have been happier to have them both by our side that day. They went above and beyond the whole day. The Marigold is phenomenal. I am so grateful for all the staff! I highly recommend choosing The Marigold!

Dave was always super easy to communicate with and answered all of our questions thoroughly. Dave and his team were also flexible as some of our plans kept changing last minute. The day of our wedding was magical. The staff, especially Ninfa and Maricella, made the day completely stress-free. They had thought of and anticipated anything that we might need such as extra bobby pins, safety pins, and more. They were able to keep our day moving on schedule without making anything feel forced. They were able to direct people (both members of the wedding party and guests) with ease to make sure that everything was flawless. They also made sure that we, the couple, got a chance to sit and eat and just breathe for a minute in the middle of our big day. I can not say enough about how amazing they are! And if that were not enough, the venue itself is absolutely gorgeous!

The Marigold provided the perfect setting for our Hindu wedding ceremony. The venue's exquisite architecture and stunning decor created an ambiance that perfectly complemented our traditional ceremony. The attention to detail in every aspect, from the beautifully adorned mandap to the vibrant floral arrangements, was simply breathtaking. Our guests were in awe of the elegance and beauty that surrounded them.
Furthermore, we would like to extend our heartfelt appreciation to the entire Marigold team. Your impeccable service and warm hospitality made us and our guests feel incredibly welcome. From the moment we arrived at the venue until the last guest departed, your staff ensured that everything ran smoothly. The level of professionalism exhibited by your team was truly commendable, and we are grateful for the seamless execution of our wedding day.
Although we did not have a reception, the Marigold's team assisted us in creating a memorable experience for our guests during the ceremony.

We had our daughter's wedding and reception at The Marigold. We found this experience to be amazing, especially our experience planning with Mr. Dave Bajaj. He guided us through the entire planning process, and alleviated all the concerns we had until the end of the events. We would also like to take the time to talk about the extremely helpful bridal attendants who succeeded in keeping the star of the event, the bride, calm through the hectic weekend. All in all, everyone at The Marigold team was helpful in this important moment of my family's life. We will be forever grateful.

Today marks one week of our Perfect Day! It was perfect. We had the best team. I am lost for words for the organized professionalism, and the enthusiasm that The Marigold, Somerset provided for our grand wedding day. Marcela, my Maitre d' was just amazing, She listened and respected all my requests. My assistant Nina I love her. I was very focused on saving memories and boy did they give me just that! I thank them both because they made me feel like a Queen, attended to all my needs and wants. Marcela and her team made sure we enjoyed every moment, cocktail, reception, our sit down dinner was just delicious. OUR guests love all the staff, they were very polite professionals. I felt no stress. I was in good hands. It's a day that goes so fast yet I remember vividly the details of our wedding day. I am so happy we use The Marigold for our venue. Lisa always kept informed and attentive to all my needs. The service was outstanding. Thank you again we are locals and The Marigold definitely will be part of any future family celebration!. The venue package was flexible, affordable and accommodated to individual needs . We are Hispanic, so food, location plus service is important and The Marigold gave us just that!. Credit to my husband Juan Carlos for picking the location with a family of 6 and living 7 minutes away was a BIG bonus!.

We feel that a rating of 5 stars is not enough for this gorgeous and fabulous venue. We are giving them at least ten stars! We reserved this venue for our wedding in July and were blown away by the level of attention and service that the venue provided. We worked with Lisa, a fantastic star; she guided us through the planning process and offered all sorts of options for our event with a great vendor list. We always felt like we were in excellent professional hands. We were given a bridal and a groom suite on the day. Also, we were assigned a venue hostess/manager and a bridal attendant. We cannot tell you how magnificent these ladies were. We want to promote Yasmin and Carolina; they treated us like kings and queens from beginning to end. In addition, we heard from guests that the waitstaff and the captain of the evening's service were phenomenal and attentive to the guests' needs. We did not realize how fast and chaotic the day could be, and to have a team guiding us through the day helped us tremendously. The venue is stunning and Insta-worthy; we couldn't take a bad picture if we tried. Our day was a dream, thanks to The Marigold and their top-class team. We continue to receive compliments about the venue and the wonderful folks that helped us on our special day. We highly recommend The Marigold and hope they receive awards and acknowledgments for their achievements. Thank you so much to Lisa, Yasmin, Carolina, and the rest of the fantastic Marigold team!

We held our daughter's wedding at The Marigold. It was a perfect day at a picture perfect venue. From everything leading up to the wedding until the actual day, the entire staff of The Marigold was a dream to deal with, The venue is absolutely gorgeous, the grounds were impeccable and perfect for an outside ceremony, the food was excellent and did not disappoint. The Bridal Room was spacious and had everything we needed to prepare for the wedding. I want to especially mention and thank Lisa for being there to answer all of our questions and for her guidance and assistance in planning our day. A special huge THANK YOU to Marcella and Yazmin .. our Maitre d' and bridal attendant - they were beyond amazing ..they were extremely helpful throughout the day, often assisting both myself and my daughter before we realized we needed them. Both of them and the entire wait-staff went above and beyond seeing to our needs, both before the ceremony and throughout the night, as well as our guests. The room was set up exactly the way my daughter planned, they attended to every detail - relieving us of any stress. I would strongly recommend The Marigold to couples searching for the perfect wedding venue!

Besides a ridiculously happy new wife, I'm a gigging violinist who's played at 50+ weddings, and my own wedding was one of the best I've ever seen!
Lisa at the Marigold was incredible. She will make you feel taken care of and heard from start to finish and will be honest and open about what they can give you. We did not have a big budget, so they worked with us to give us what we wanted without breaking our bank.
We had our indoor ceremony in the Sandalwood Ballroom, the loveliest space for a smaller wedding (we had 126 guests). On the day, I the most incredible maitre d and second helper that were constantly checking in and making sure we had what we needed (our bridal suite was stacked with mimosas and playing our favorite tunes!) During our complimentary tasting for our menu, we actually came while a wedding was going on downstairs and they brought up the food as it was being made! We had wine, champagne, and beer available, and got to take home a box of mini cake samples. That gave us a solid idea of what to choose and how the food would be, and we were super pleased. The wedding day was seamless, and our guests said it was one of the most fun, beautiful, and well-done weddings they had been to.

We loved having our daughter's wedding at the Marigold (May 2022). The venue is absolutely beautiful - spacious and modern with many different size rooms as options. One of the rooms has an outside feel to it with stone walls and large windows on two sides with views of the lovely outdoor spaces. We fell in love with the beautiful outdoor areas that we were able to utilize for our cocktails and a different area for the ceremony. The bridal / groom suites and large with closets, private bathrooms, and amenities that made our day so comfortable.
The staff are not only SO pleasant and helpful, they worked well together to have a seamless affair. Everyone we encountered made us feel important and special. Our sales liaison, Lisa, was a gem. She was welcoming from our first visit, anticipated our every need, and ensured smooth logistics on the day of.
What a lovely experience - I would highly recommend.

We wanted to have a stress-free wedding and The Marigold did just that - Lisa has been so kind and attentive since the first time we met until the day of our wedding - making sure every detail was noted. Ninfa & Marcella were amazing and constantly checked-in to make sure the timing of everything was perfect and helped with setting up, keeping us fed and so much more. We have received so many compliments on our wedding from the food to the wonderful service - we would chose The Marigold all over again if we could!

My fiance and I knew almost immediately upon walking into The Marigold that we'd get married there. After 3 tours, Lisa was the only one who asked us about us - our story, our engagement, what we wanted, what we liked, what we cared about. It truly seemed like she would work with us and make sure we had the wedding of our dreams. The Marigold also has tremendous perks - like booking by a certain date and receiving an upgrade. I'm so excited for what's to come during the next year and am so happy to be able to get married at the beautiful Marigold.

Lisa and the entire Marigold staff provided us with a fabulous wedding reception! As the parents of the bride and groom, we received countless compliments from guests regarding the food, the service, the Sandalwood Ballroom and The Marigold itself. We found the wait staff, bartenders and the rest of the staff outstanding. The bridal attendant was so mindful of our daughter’s needs. The staff regularly checked in with us to ensure that the evening was proceeding as planned and to offer their assistance if needed. The maitre d’, Marcella, was the best!!! She took care of so many of the details which allowed us to enjoy the evening. Our new son-in-law summed up the evening best, “Perfect”.

The Marigold was absolutely amazing! They went above and beyond and helped manage any stress I had. When my husband and I walked into the Marigold, we immediately knew it was the one. The interior designs/ballrooms feel grand and well done. The outdoor patios are gorgeous. And they always maintain everything so well. We also love how helpful the staff is at The Marigold - they were always handing out waters, tea/coffee, and always made sure I was doing okay on my wedding day. They attended to all the guests and gave out welcome drinks/asked them if they ever needed anything/etc. The venue also includes great lighting features! We worked with Dave Bajaj and I cannot recommend him enough. He is very kind and cares so much about your happiness. He would do anything to make sure that I did not feel stressed, and I am so grateful for him! Their Maitre D (Chang) was also amazing. Chang wanted me to have no stress on the day of the wedding and so anytime something came up, he took care of it right away. We had some issues with flowers, centerpieces, weather, etc, and Chang was always on top of it. We also worked with Jamie who was so patient with all of our questions the two weeks prior to the wedding. She was thorough and made sure everything was followed up with! My husband and I loved The Marigold. We would choose that place over and over again, we love it! So happy we got married there!

Having our reception at Marigold was the greatest decision we ever made. Everyone from Jessica, Jamie, Marcela, Yazmin were all amazing people to work with and they made our day very very special. The attention to detail and needs of their clients was their utmost priority. They took care of every little detail. Marcela our Maitre'd was a jack of all traits. From carrying my boxes to helping with dress fitting, she was there every step of the way. Also a shout out to Marigold's co-owner Tony. I bet at no other venue could you find a owner who would hold your dress train for your entry. Tony was so professional, warm and kind hearted. He bared with our crazy schedule and was always available to chat if ever needed. I cant say enough about marigold. Would certainly have any of my families major events here hands down. Thank you Team marigold

I really cannot recommend The Marigold enough. I was married there on June 26, 2021 and my wedding day was literally a dream come true. We knew we loved this venue since our very first tour, and from that moment on, from booking to planning, it was a seamless process and Lisa was incredibly helpful every step of the way. Everyone at The Marigold works to make sure everything was perfect and exactly how you want it, including the Maitre D, bridal assistants, and wait staff. Our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception were absolutely beautiful and we have since received countless compliments and amazing feedback from our guests. The outdoor ceremony spaces are gorgeous and extremely well-kept. The cocktail hour space and ballrooms are modern and extremely elegant. And one of the best parts, the food was to die for! There were so many options to make sure there was something for every single person, I can confidently say no one left hungry. I relive my wedding day over and over again in my head, because it really was the happiest, most perfect day and I have everyone at The Marigold to thank for that.

The Marigold was the best wedding venue in Somerset County. I had attended a few weddings here earlier and was impressed by it. When it came to hosting my daughter's wedding, Marigold stood out on the top.
Marigold management and staff became an extension of our family throughout the wedding planning process, days leading up to and on the day of the wedding. Their advice was very valuable and helped us with executing our plans. They were very prompt and yet flexible with us as needed. Especially during COVID, we were not sure how things would work out. But, they calmed us and assured us that every effort would be made to make it a beautiful event and it did!
The bride, groom, wedding party and all the guests had only positive feedback about the venue and access to various locations for photo shoots.
We are so glad we chose Marigold for my daughter's wedding.

My husband and I are extremely happy with our decision in deciding on “The Marigold”, the place is absolutely gorgeous. The food was delicious, from the horderves to the dinner. We select the salmon and steak filet mignon which was cooked to perfection. The cake stunning exactly what I imagined and taste soooo good. Lisa is amazing she was there from start to finish she made us feel comfortable and made sure everything was perfect. Through this pandemic she took a lot of worries and stress of me. She responds right away and was always available even when she isn’t working to answer any of our questions. I wouldn’t have made it through the day without her. Marcela was hand and foot from the moment I step foot into the building until I left she made sure she was by my side and easy to work with. Staff is wonderful! The Marigold gave us a memorable wedding day!

The Marigold in Somerset was the perfect wedding venue! It was beautiful, the staff was amazing, and it was affordable. Lisa helped us plan every detail and Marcella was an amazing coordinator on the evening of the wedding in working with our Emcee to make sure everything went perfectly! All of this was included in the already reasonable rates--in other words, I was able to plan and hold the wedding without hiring an outside planner and coordinator!!
Dave at the Marigold made every step of the process smooth and easy for us. He supported us throughout the planning process and responded to every call and text even on his days off! I couldn't have imagined picking a better venue for my daughter's wedding. I highly recommend The Marigold in Somerset, NJ!

We had my daughter's wedding booking at other venue, and they can't cooperated , and allowed well enough to have indoor/outdoor wedding there. At the last moment, we have contacted Mr. Bajaj, and all of Bajaj brothers have helped us lot. It was an experience of a life time. The venue set up (six feet parts as per CDC) is extremely beautiful indoors and outdoors. The entire Marigold group starting from Mr. Bajaj the owner, and brothers Dev, and Sunil to the management and staff treated us so well just as if we were their own family. Julie and our Maitre'D were extremely professional and very helpful to my daughter at every step in coordinating and executing everything for the entire event. The outside dinner set up was well prepared as per CDC guideline - out standing. We received so many compliments for the venue and service as well as their catering which we had from the Marigold during this pandemic time . It was truly a very happy and positive experience for my family. Since we know the Bajaj family and their service from long over 20+ years , we would definitely recommend this venue for your events. Marigold is the only place the event can took place during the current situation. I don't think our wedding event would had possible at any other NJ venue. We will surely be hosting future events at Marigold.

We are 100 % satisfied with the service we received from The Marigold and staff and highly recommend them.

A lovely venue tucked away in an unassuming neigborhood in the heart of central Jersey. My husband and I held our wedding reception here in October 2019 and had a wonderful experience. Lisa was lovely to work with throughout the planning process, always available to answer questions and even helping us work through some tricky last minute changes. The venue itself is gorgeous with both indoor and outdoor settings for guests to enjoy and pictures to be taken. I especially appreciated that there are separate spaces for cocktail hour and dinner. My guests raved about the food, especially the generous cocktail hour treats. The whole staff are incredibly professional and attentive and made the whole evening run so smoothly. And for this level of service and amenity, you can't beat the price! I would highly recommend The Marigold for your next event, wedding or otherwise.

We had such a phenomenal experience working with the Marigold last July; they deserve a five star review and more. Lisa was available whenever we needed her and we never had to worry about getting in touch. Despite the crappy weather, we pulled off a fantastic ceremony and things went off without a hitch. As a bride, it was such a relief not having to worry that we might miss our opportunity for an outdoor ceremony! In the end, we had a beautiful ceremony in the sun room, and our pictures don't do it justice! Our guests raved about the cocktail hour, saying that there was so much food and everything was delicious. The staff was also so courteous and helpful to me and my guests. On two occasions I couldn't find my bridesmaids and got stuck in my dress. One of the Marigold attendants literally came into the bathroom with me to help pry me out. It's that type of attention and willingness to go the extra mile that made us so glad we chose this venue. These guys are true professionals and went out of their way to make our wedding day special.

We recently had our wedding at the Marigold on October 19th and it was truly unforgettable. The Marigold had a beautiful outdoor gazebo for our ceremony, a wonderful glass cocktail hour area with seating inside and outside for guests, and the reception hall had built in lighting as well as projectors that made this venue such a hit.
Big thank you to the Marigold and their team for making our wedding day so smooth and effortless. I highly recommend this venue as they are truly accommodating to anything you need!

I'd like to thank The Marigold for a wonderful event. One that I may add will be cherished forever.
My husband and I couldn't have selected a better wedding venue than The Marigold. This was the first venue that we checked out and instantly knew we found exactly what we were looking for. The staff was easy to work with and not only was the venue much nicer in person than the photos they gave us a price that couldn't be beat. One of the most important parts of.a wedding is the food and their cooks did a phenomenal job. Our guest told us that this was hands down the best wedding that they've ever been to, that speaks volumes.

We had our wedding at the Marigold, the Sandalwood room on September 28th 2019, and it exceeded our expectations. Lisa was amazing, and everyone did great work there. The reception room was set to just as I had imagined and looked perfect. There was another event that day, but we couldn't even notice the noise. Everything was on cue. The maitre d was there whenever I needed her. The only thing if I had to pick something out was the cocktail hour room lighting was not set to the right color, and I needed to get that fixed. I am a person that it's hard to make me happy and I am picky, but honestly everything really turned out to what I had imagined it to look like. They also gave double steak and a huge Venetian display. The dance floor was spotless. We also got the spotlight, which is extra but is worth it. I would recommend the Marigold for a wedding.

We worked with Lisa when choosing this venue and through the whole planning process, and she always made sure we had all the information needed so we understood what was happening and when. From choosing the menu to the decor and details even down to the type of tables we wanted she was incredibly helpful through it all. The night of the wedding we had exceptional service! We always had enough to eat and drink, and were always asked if there was anything else we needed. The food during the cocktail hour was both abundant and delicious! Our main dish and accompanying dishes were just as generous and delicious as well! The employees were on top of every dish, drink and/or dessert that was coming out, and made sure everyone was served accordingly. Overall a very classy presentation and great service from all involved at the Marigold!

Very beautiful venue close to home!
Lisa and her staff were amazing from start to finish. First before we decided on the Marigold (nobody we knew had ever tried it before), meeting Lisa and having her show us the venue was a pleasure. The place is gorgeous, spacious, and she never pressured us to make a decision.
All the time leading up to the wedding Lisa was always available for any questions. The week before the wedding when we went to finalize the details, we had way less people than we planned for. Not a problem for Lisa - she came up with a solution that would not leave us paying for empty seats! We were amazed and very grateful.
On the wedding day the staff was nothing short of stellar. They helped us in setting up the room - from setting up centerpieces to lighting candles. They were very flexible throughout the night when we decided to extend cocktail hour, were wishy washy on whether or not we wanted to take pictures with each table and when we were deciding on when to do the cake presentation. Angie was a rockstar!! From helping my wife with her wedding dress, to snagging the last piece of cake for me, to always being within an earshot to get us whatever we needed - she was simply awesome! Mario and Chang were also very helpful.
The bridal suite was very chic and spacious. There was never a shortage of drinks - soft drinks, water, champagne - whatever we needed was there. They also brought up some appetizers from the cocktail hour as we were getting ready.
The night went smoothly and all of our guests were very happy. At the end of the night, the staff helped us gather our things from the bridal suite, brought them downstairs for us, and helped us load the car. After they had closed and locked the doors, me and my wife were standing outside chatting with some guests. One of the staff asked us if we wanted some water - she unlocked the doors and went back inside to get us each a bottle of cold water! Simply top notch service from start to finish. Very impressed with this place and will recommend to all family and friends.

I couldn't have been happier with my experience with all the staff at The Marigold! Lisa, especially, made our experience amazing. She was there for us whenever we needed and made sure we felt comfortable throughout the whole process! All of the staff the day of the wedding including but not limited to Lisa, Marcella, and Juli were soooo accommodating! The food at the Marigold was better than we remember from the taste testing! All of our guests were so happy with the experience and food. I would recommend this venue to ANYONE! Thank you to everyone at the Marigold for everything you have done for a day we will remember forever!

We had our wedding at the Marigold last week and I cannot express enough how impressed I was with the venue, the staff, and the entire overall experience. Lisa did an amazing job orchestrating the event. The maître d's, Chang and Marcella were absolutely incredible and made sure everything ran smoothly. Even the waiters and waitresses were fantastic and so astute to everyone's needs. There was one lovely lady in particular, Angie, who somehow always knew what I needed and was always there! I received so many compliments from our guests on how great the staff was. I have been to many weddings and parties and have never witnessed such a fantastic team as I did at my own wedding. I highly, highly, highly recommend booking your event at the Marigold. You will not be disappointed!

We recently celebrated my daughter and son in law's wedding at The Marigold. I cannot say enough about the beautiful venue, fantastic food and excellent staff. Lisa was a pleasure to work with from beginning to end. She was friendly, helpful and so willing to accommodate all of our requests. The staff was so attentive from the time we arrived in the morning until the end of the evening. They made sure the party flowed smoothly and all of our guests' needs were met. The food was fabulous and served and prepared beautifully I want to thank everyone at The Marigold for helping make this night so memorable.

We had our wedding and reception at The Marigold on August 18th, 2019 and every single member of the team there from Dave to the staff level is absolutely AMAZING! Both of us and our families are so impressed with how effortlessly both our wedding ceremony and reception were executed! We did not feel stressed on the day and everything was handled PERFECTLY by Chang and his team! Chang is very sweet and kind! :) Julie and Dave handled our pre-event planning and they are very responsive, approachable, and make you feel like family! Lastly, my mom had to unexpectedly use their kitchen to put together an offering for the Hindu ceremony and everyone welcomed her inside with open arms!

My husband and I had our wedding at The Marigold and words cannot express how beautiful everything was. The venue itself was exactly what we were looking for in terms of food, atmosphere, scenery and overall experience. Julie, Lisa and Marcella were absolutely PERFECT. These ladies made sure everything ran smoothly and went above and beyond in making sure our special day was amazing. THANK YOU!
The food and drinks were great! All of our guests commented on the quality of food being served. I must say the venue played a huge part in the success of our wedding. I highly recommend The Marigold to all couples looking for the perfect venue for their wedding! our guests are still talking about how beautiful everything was!

We had our daughter sweet sixteen party at Marigold and it was just spectacular. Everyone had an amazing and unforgettable experience. Facility is very beautiful and spacious ( Main entry, cocktail reception area, outdoor arrangement and main ballroom hall ) which make every guest feel welcome and special. Mr Dave and his staff members are very humble and extremely professional . They made sure each and every detail was taken care of and executed the party flawlessly. We got great feedback from our guests and everyone had amazing time. The Marigold is absolutely breathtaking. We were not only satisfied but overjoyed with the liveliness of the staff members and Mr Dave himself. My daughter's quote says it all "Marigold made the best night of my life even more memorable" . Thank you Marigold. Special thanks and shout out to Dave and Tony!
