The Meadow Wood

tely outstanding. Everything from our cocktail hour, dinner and Venetian room was amazing. Being from an Italian family, the food was our number one priority and they blew all of us away with their delicious food options. Every single one of our guests complimented the food and the decor because of the recent renovations. The service was great from both the servers and bartenders. My husband asked for all three dinner options and they happily brought us them. The owner was also there and was extremely accommodating asking what he can do for us or if he can bring us anything. I would recommend this place to any bride who wants a wedding with delicious food, beautiful wedding decor and stress free planning. Well done Meadow Wood!

event specialist to work with. The venue is just breathtakingly beautiful and the food was amazing. The Meadow Wood will exceed all of your expectations, look no further!

OVID-19, the Meadow Wood really pulled through to make the outside tent amazing. Although, we were able to use the cocktail dome room, in combination with the ballroom for our cocktail hour, with plenty of social distancing!! Throughout the whole process, she was helpful, supportive, and really listened to our questions and concerns. She always made time to meet with us, whether in person, via phone, email or Zoom. As if wedding planning wasn't stressful enough, throw COVID-19 into the mix, but Dawn didn't skip a beat in accommodating our wedding requests as much as possible. Even as the CDC guidelines continued to change daily or weekly, she kept us up-to-date and was patient through it all. The day of the wedding, all staff wore masks, gloves, took temperature checks of all the guests, worked tirelessly to give our guests, and us, the best service possible, and made sure everyone felt comfortable and safe! Two weeks later and our guests are still raving about the service, food, cocktail hour, dessert hour, venue, etc. It went as smoothly as it would have without COVID-19. I'm so impressed and would recommend The Meadow Wood to everyone getting married! You get everything you pay for and more!

y! If I could do that day over I would STILL choose the venue!

ly recommend The Meadow Wood to anyone looking to have a wonderful wedding experience.

staff were super accommodating throughout the entire process of planning our big day and the food was unbelievable. They really know how to put on an amazing wedding and people are still telling us how gorgeous the place was / how phenomenal the food was. Truly we are so grateful. Thank you to The Meadow Wood staff for exceeding our expectations (shoutout to Brielle!!)

ond my expectations. Everything went on smoothly and without any setbacks. I Highly recommend this venue for any event, my dream day was perfect because of them!!!!!

rful memorable event. Jerry our maitre’d for the event, assisted with offering his great suggestions to keep our guests happy and well fed. The food was plentiful and very tasty and our bartender Joe Cappaccio kept the mimosas flowing! The service was top notch and the wait staff was very polite and very hard working. I have not one complaint I could come up with that would make me give them any less than the highest rating! Thanks for making sure everyone was happy and treated well!

cktail area, and reception hall, blew myself and my guests away. We really had a great experience. They were willing to work with me with certain requests. Can't forget the food. Guests are still talking about the great food, and dessert bar. The day of staff, were excellent. They made sure the day went smoothly. Thank you so much to The Meadow Wood staff for making my wedding day, a day that I will never forget.

Day of : steph was absolutely amazing , all the staff were excellent. Meadow Wood left nothing out . So much food ! Everything was just beautiful. Relatives and friends are still saying it’s the best wedding they have been too, and I agree .

st. Thank You Meadow Wood. Thank You Brielle ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

excellent and my favorite things were the lambchops and fondue fountain. I know my family and I will be rebooking many of our events again at The Meadowwood

to what was going on, even with the major renovations underway. I wasn’t thrilled with the renovations at first because I loved the old style so much but she was always honest and gave me good ideas and suggestions to many aspects of the wedding day. She answered all my questions and emails super quick. Our guests loved the new look and couldn’t stop talking about all the amazing food. Our maître d’ was Stephano and he was soooo great! I never thought twice about any detail of the day. My husband and I were so happy with how everything went and all our guests, almost a month later, are still telling us how much they loved our wedding!

cktail hour and boardwalk dessert station. We used the outdoor ceremony space and were so happy with how beautiful it looked. The renovations all looked amazing and we can’t wait to get the rest of our photos back. We highly recommend couples looking for the most elegant and updated wedding venue look into The Meadow Wood!

. The bridal attendant Maribel, Maitre'D Stef and the rest of the staff were excellent. They were on top of their A game. Our guests really enjoyed the food. They kept raving about the dessert hour. They were in LOVE with the selection. There was soooo much of everything. Let's just say we had a "to go" donut wall! I also have two family members who have a sensitive stomach and the MWM was able to accommodate their special requests. We also come from a Portuguese family and the venue was able to work with Valenca (Portuguese restaurant) with outside catering. That was a big plus! I want to say thank you to the MWM for making my wedding memorable and beautiful. To the Owners, thank you for being present that evening. You made us your top priority and we truly appreciate it. To Dawn, our sales representative, thank you for your patience. I was very nervous with the construction, but MWM delivered and blew us away. We could not ask for a more beautiful wedding. Therefore, I encourage people to take a tour and book this place for their special event. It is absolutely beautiful! The food, staff, and ambience is spectacular. My husband and I are very happy we chose them. Thank you again!!! Ps- we wish we could relive it again.

re prompt. Everyone was always so accommodating with any changes we wanted to make before the big day (soft pretzels to go, chardonnay instead of champagne, timeline changes, etc.). The winter wedding package was such a great deal--taxes, gratuity, DJ, and photobooth all included. We had a lot of personal decorations, and Meadow Wood Manor set them up just like we wanted! Everyone was blown away by our food at cocktail hour, dinner, and dessert, especially the 50s Station! Guests also thought the venue was very classy and elegant and that it was one of the best receptions they'd attended. Staff were so helpful and even extended cocktail hour for us so my husband and I could attend. In addition to the great food, the venue was so beautiful. Dan was our maitre'd, and he was phenomenal! He explained everything beforehand and made sure we knew what was going on. My bridal attendant seemed a bit uninvolved compared to what I was expecting, though. Infinity Entertainment did a great job. The only cons to our experience were not being told which box had our cake top (so it was put into a car sideways and not refrigerated) and my missing toss bouquet and my husband's second boutonniere. We were never told his boutonniere had been moved, and my florist claimed she had someone bring in my toss bouquet even though another assistant originally told Meadow Wood Manor I didn't have one. The florist suspects it was used for decoration elsewhere, so I'm not sure where the miscommunication happened, but Meadow Wood Manor made me a bouquet from excess flowers so I could still do my toss. That meant a lot and shows they go the extra mile for clients. Overall, we couldn't imagine having our reception elsewhere. Such a wonderful experience, and we are so thankful for everything Meadow Wood Manor did to make our day perfect.

ay. After working hundreds of weddings there, my husband was adamant that we do something different and look at other venues to make it special. However, after searching other venues throughout north New Jersey, he finally came around and realized they could not compare to Meadow Wood. We knew the attention to detail, amazing service, and unbeatable menu that Meadow Wood has to offer. They were able to create such an amazing day for us that did not compare to any wedding we worked in the past. The sales staff and the owners made the entire process smooth and stress-free. The servers were extremely attentive and my bridal attendant Yami and our maitre d' did an outstanding job making sure everything was perfect for us. Their new cocktail hour menu was such a huge hit with all of our guests that we are still hearing compliments over a month later. Not only was the quality of the food amazing, the quantity was unbelievable. With food being our number 1 priority we can safely say Meadow Wood greatly exceeded our expectations. I could go on and on but it would just be more of the same: me talking about how amazing Meadow Wood is! There is no doubt in my mind that we picked the perfect venue for our perfect day!

asonably priced! The staff are wonderful and extremely attentive on day of the wedding. I worked with Mary Ellen throughout my whole planning and she is so kind and very helpful. I loved how they only do one wedding at a time here. My guests were very pleased. They loved the beauty of the venue and could not stop talking about how amazing the food was. I had an amazing and beautiful wedding with Meadow Wood Manor playing a huge role in making it amazing and highly recommend this venue.

at a time which makes the venue feel more personal to the bride and groom. Food is great and cocktail hour food is amazing. All staff there is friendly and kind and helpful. Thank you MWM for making our dream wedding come true.

parison to other venues. I even purchased the lower package and it included so many cocktail hour food stations/passed apps and of course, open bar! Mary Ellen was our main contact and was very helpful throughout the planning process. Connie was our day of coordinator and was very helpful with our rehearsal (the night before) and day of. She made sure everything was set up the way we wanted it and guided the entire ceremony run through. This was so great because our officiant had a flight delay and did not get there on time to help with the rehearsal. The food at this venue is top notch and they offer the biggest and best cocktail hour. Months later we still get compliments about this from our guests. Our ceremony was held in the outdoor courtyard and was absolutely beautiful. The bride gets to choose up to an hour before whether the ceremony will be outdoor or indoor. This was so great for us because it was raining on and off the entire day and it was so important to me to have the ceremony outside so our dog could be included in it. I did get a little push back from the venue on this, which was a little frustrating (they were concerned about the rain), but at the end of the day they respected my decision and made it work! Overall, this venue was perfect for our day and I’m so happy we picked the Meadowwood Manor!

ent above and beyond from the moment we were greeted at the door everything went without a hitch. Thank you to everyone that made our daughter and son in laws wedding PERFECT!

tment was nothing but top notch. Our guests were treated like kings and queens. All of their needs were met and we’ve heard nothing but great things from our family and friends who attended. The fact that the owner was on site for the wedding was comforting and also enjoyable. Our DJ came with our package and he was simply amazing. I cannot say enough good things about our bridal attendant and maître d’. They went above and beyond to make sure this occasion was extremely memorable. As a surprise to us the DJ played when you wish upon a star as we exited. To say I left with tears of joy, is a mere understatement. The only thing I wish is that I could live it out again. My husband and I are looking forward to visiting the Meadowood Manor again.

ere able to help us with especially since we were in a heat wave and last minute changed our first look to be at the venue. Any bride looking for a gorgeous venue with great food I would highly recommend going to Meadow Wood Manor!

rfectly. Our guests are still complimenting how beautiful the venue was and how amazing the food (especially cocktail hour) was. I highly recommend Meadow Wood Manor for any event!

ever attended. As a bride I had no worries as their team ran everything so smoothly and they made my husband and I feel so special. I cannot say enough good things about our experience. This is truly a hidden gem!!!!

esome wedding it was!) The food, of course, was spectacular, but what stood out most to us was the Meadow Wood's dedication to service from the beginning to the end. Not only were we brought freshly baked brownies and refreshments and made to feel at home when we first visited, during the reception, the groom's 90+ year old grandparents were getting overwhelmed with the noise levels so the staff took them to a table in the other room, lit some candles, and brought their dinner to them there (to quote my grandmother-in-law, "it was like our honeymoon!"). When we were taking bride+groom pictures around the grounds at the beginning of cocktail hour, the staff also made sure to go out of their way to bring us some of the butler-passed hors d'oeuvres so that we could enjoy the food as well. That level of service was unexpected, impressive, and highly, highly appreciated. As a couple planning the wedding from 5 hours away, we also appreciated how much easier Mary Ellen and her staff made it to plan from afar. They were highly accommodating with our less frequent visiting timeline and had great vendor recommendations for us, which made the choices easier and gave us peace of mind since the vendors were used to coordinating with the Meadow Wood (we actually ended up not even needing a wedding planner or day-of coordinator because of this!) All in all, it was a wonderful wedding, and the majority of the credit can be tied back to the Meadow Wood. If we could do it all over, we would 100% pick the Meadow Wood again, and we're hoping we can return in the future as wedding guests!!

had a great reputation. The planning process was pretty seamless. Mary-Ellen and her team led us throughout the stages of our wedding planning process from booking our date, to the tasting dinner which was meant to feel like a mock wedding, to the rehearsal. The grounds and ballroom for our ceremony and reception were big enough to accommodate our relatively large guest list of approximately 210 guests. Our guests are still raving about our wedding, especially the cocktail hour where there was a variety of food including a Caribbean station. All in all, it was a great experience and we highly recommend the Meadow Wood Manor.

going hungry. The venue was so pretty with all of the decorations taken care of and plenty of great spots in the venue to take pictures. We could not have asked for better food or more fun than we had. We used officiant Susanne Wilson and DJ Rich from Infinity Entertainment which was recommended by the venue. Both were outstanding and I highly recommend them.

r price. When I first met with Mary Ellen, she spent 2 hours walking us around, going over the menu, and answering all the questions that I had. She is the only person at any venue who told us about event insurance since we were having our wedding in the winter. I brought my husband back to see it, and he was sold as well. In my opinion, this is how a business should be run because they are concerned and interested in each client rather than the bottom line. Mary Ellen was excellent with answering any questions I had through e-mail and in person. The food tasting gives you an excellent idea of what is available to choose from and everything is delicious! The chef even came out to answer any of the guests’ questions. We set up a meeting to pick out our food early because that worked best with our schedules, and Mary Ellen had no problem accommodating our request. They are willing to listen to any ideas you have to make your wedding unique, and are honest if they do not think something will work best. They will work with you to come up with a better alternative as well as listen to any dietary needs. The tailgate stations was the hit of the cocktail hour. Our guests said they were full even before dinner, and then the dessert room and cordial bar just put it over the top. Jodi was very helpful during the rehearsal, and they are always extremely organized. We got several compliments about the wait staff, which is one of the many reasons we picked Meadow Wood Manor. They do not train their waiters as a banquet hall might, but they trained them as if it is a restaurant so they are extremely attentive to the tables they are assigned to and will bring a guest another drink without even being asked. Dan, our maître d’, was always checking up on us and making sure that we had everything we needed and saw all of our rooms before guests were let in, which was a nice gesture. My bridal attendant was extremely helpful especially when my bustle broke. It is nice to be the only wedding there. It has a nice homey feel, which I know is how they designed it to be one giant home. Our guest really liked having the center room to talk and caught up with each other. I cannot tell you the number of compliments we have receive about Meadow Wood. They made the process easy and stress free. I highly recommend the Meadow Wood to anyone!! Thank you for help making our night so special!!!

ganized, which made it easy to communicate and create our perfect reception and stood out among the other vendors we looked at. We opted to use their vendor and decoration package. They did an amazing job creating a beautiful reception that was warm and inviting. The staff even used all of my handmade decorations and other items I had left them.They allowed my husband and I to be the first ones into the ballroom and had our photographer ready to take our picture as we entered, which was such a nice touch. Our reception was incredible. The timing of cocktails, dinner, and dessert was perfect and made for a lot of time on the dance floor. Their day of staff did an exceptional job making sure we were taken care of all night. The staff helped me with my dress before we entered our reception and continued to assist me the remainder of the evening. They provided us food and drinks up in the suite before our event started and I never had to ask for any thing all night. They even kept our dinner plates hot while we were visiting guest tables. The food was outstanding. I enjoyed everything from cocktails to dessert. Our cake was made by their baker at Gourmet Touch Bakery and was wonderful. We specially asked for a white chocolate martini as our signature drink. It was great. They even decorated the glasses with flavored sugar. We have received nothing but compliments about everything.

omeone's home combined with incredible food and outstanding service. The cocktail hour was the best I have ever been too! The extras like a beautiful wedding cake, gorgeous ice sculpture and signature drink are just a few things that come with the package. The incredible desserts and cordial station were the perfect ending to an outstanding day!

it to whatever you would like. I have received so much positive feedback from guests. We had about 200 people and NOT one thing went wrong. The food was excellent and the entire day of, they took care of us. I highly recommend this venue for weddings!

Mary Ellen was extremely helpful and responsive with all of my questions and concerns. She went above and beyond to work within our budget, make sure all of our requests were met, and paid attention to every detail. Our guests cannot stop raving about our wedding day! From the decor, to the food, to the service - everything was phenomenal! Many people have told us it's the best cocktail hour and food they've ever experienced at a wedding! The sea bass was cooked perfectly! We chose filet mignon since that's typically a crowd pleaser, but the chef specially prepared the NY strip for my husband. The staff was SO attentive to our every need, especially our maitre d' and bridal attendant. Even when my bustle broke late into the night, she was right there to help fix it! My husband was especially impressed that the owner, Jeff Beers was there to meet with us at our initial visit and attend our wedding reception. During cocktail hour, he greeted us in the bridal suite with a gigantic platter of the most delicious lobster we've ever tasted! As a graphic designer, I wanted to design my own stationery including place cards and menus, and I was very specific about the placement of our items and decor. I was so impressed when I saw everything was set up exactly as described. The staff at the Meadow Wood truly pays attention to every detail! I can only hope that we'll be lucky enough to attend a wedding at the Meadow Wood Manor as guests some day. They are an affordable option without sacrificing quality and service! We HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend the Meadow Wood to anyone looking to make their wedding dreams a reality.

ely perfect and went beyond our expectations. Jeff, the owner, was so thoughtful and considerate to all our family and friends who attended the wedding. The staff was very attentive and pleasant; the food was incredible and the venue was exceedingly beautiful! The Meadow Wood Manor truly gave my daughter and new son-in-law the wedding of their dreams!!!

ons and about 20 passed appetizers. When the bride and bridesmaid were in the suite they even brought the appetizers up to us. Everything was an open bar. Then the reception room was beautiful. All the food was delicious, and there was even so much dessert and a whole dessert room. You can get even a bananas flambe dessert show. Best of all, the cost was the same compared to other venues for so much more. If you were looking for a lower budget they would work with you to cut out additional things you won't need and they give you a full list of dates and prices so you can pick what works best for you and your budget. (We planned our wedding only 7 months out so got a discount on a august date they did not fill up!). The site is beautiful, the staff is fantastic and caring, the food is delicious, and they were plenty of drinks. This place has everything you are looking for. I wish I could give them more than 5 stars!

e even had a few last minute changes that the staff accommodated without hesitation, and they were beyond accommodating when we did not reach our expected guest count. The food and the service on the night of our wedding were incredible (I'm still thinking about the sea bass!) Many of our guests have said that ours was the best wedding they have ever attended. I even had a friend tell me that she will consider Meadow Wood Manor for her own wedding!

pful; taking time and care to answer every question we had. The staff at the MWM is incredible, everyone from the owner, to the chef, to the wait staff took their time to meet with us to help ensure our day would be perfect. I have received a lot of feedback from many guests about how attentive the staff was throughout the entire night. Our bridal attendants were phenomenal and took care of our every single need, and anticipated what those needs might be. They made sure we had favorite items from the cocktail hour at our sweetheart table so that we didn't miss a thing. I am still receiving rave reviews about the cocktail hour, and all of the food throughout the entire night. I have been told that it was the best cocktail hour people had ever been to, my dad said the sea bass entree was the best he's ever had, and my father in law is still talking about the filet mignon. My cousin even made a point to come and tell me how amazing the vegan entree they made for him was. People always remember the food, and we could not be happier with the food at the Meadow Wood Manor. My husband and I are hoping we can attend a wedding at the MWM as guests in the future! We would recommend the MWM to anyone we could, they are truly the best!

ommend this venue!

s the only option for us. Right off the bat everyone made us feel like our wedding would be personal and intimate, not like a lot of other venues looking for a check. They truly care about every little detail of the day to make it perfect for you and your family. Everyone is extremely friendly and helpful every step of the way. They were incredibly accommodating in every way imaginable and I truly cannot stress enough how amazing everything was here. Our guests are still raving about how beautiful everything was and how delicious the food was. SO many people came up to us that day and days following, telling us it was the best wedding they have ever been to. Every single person I worked with there throughout the planning process was so kind and open to any suggestion we had. They truly made their venue feel like home to us that day. I have heard horror stories about wedding venues giving so many problems, but it was completely smooth sailing with planning! Honestly, the best people to surround yourself with planning a wedding! No matter what season you are getting married, Meadow Wood is the perfect place to book! AWESOME experience from day one!

They made everything easy, and thought of every single detail. The most beautiful wedding venue that we could have asked for! Rave reviews from guests on the cocktail hour, dinner, open bar, and of course the gorgeous venue! Our guests were blown away by the Meadow Wood Manor and so were we. :-)

uggestions. On the day of our wedding, we had Paula as our bridal attendant. She was fabulous and so helpful (even coming to the rescue with safety pins)! When planning a wedding for around 150 guests it can be a daunting task to ensure everyone's dietary needs and preferences are met. MWM went above and beyond when it came to food! The amount of variety they offered throughout the night and accommodations they made for anyone with dietary restrictions was outstanding! All of my guests could not stop talking about how delicious everything was and about the amount of food to choose from. To MWM, thank you so much for everything! Our reception was a dream come true all thanks to you. For any brides that are considering Meadow Wood Manor, book them. They will ensure that you and your guests have a truly magical night!

ustomers. Every step of the way since then the staff has been so accommodating. We know they are going to make our night so special.

to accommodate our unique ideas, and were so friendly the entire time. We had no worries or issues with them while planning or on our wedding day. Now we are just hoping that someone else we know gets married there so we can enjoy it again!

rents' straight from a business trip. But when I walked into the meeting they were all having with Nancy and Jeff (the owner, who is very hands on) everyone was laughing, enjoying food, and having a great time. Jeff actually went downstairs and fixed me an entire plate of food on the spot because I hadn't had lunch. This is honestly what makes MWM so special, the warmth and generosity everyone at this venue treats you and your family with. This vibe really permeates through the whole staff and was something we experienced every time we met with the venue - whether to plan out major details for the day, to attend a tasting, or just to drop off or pick up items. They excel at making you feel welcome, and frankly at home every time you come in - which I think is a key to excellent customer service. And then there's the value that we really felt we got by choosing Meadow Wood Manor - which really starts with the Cocktail Hour which was just ridiculous. They had options for everything and even threw in additional items for us at both the cocktail hour and dessert (as if we needed more food). One of our guests actually told me that they chased down one of the waiters who was walking around with a tray of lobster meat and unfortunately got to her when the tray was just empty. He asked her to come find her if she came back out, and figured - "there's no way I'm ever going to see her again." Sure enough, 5 minutes later she found him and his friends with a full fresh tray of lobster (which by the way, we didn't know we were getting as part of the menu we ordered). But again, I think that goes to their entire staff's mentality to make sure guests (not just the bride and groom and immediate family) leave their venue happy and satisfied. Lastly, we had a lot of aspects of our wedding that were very specific to us - like where we wanted certain photos placed or how we wanted things laid out - and instead of getting annoyed or ignoring these requests - they took the time to listen to us and make sure all these little requests were made. At the end of the night we had a lot of guests come up to us just completely blown away by how much fun they had (had a few people tell me it was the greatest wedding they'd ever been to) - which is absolutely what we wanted - and MWM's high value placed on guest satisfaction, attention to detail, and all the ridiculously delicious food at every stage in the night contributed to a great party that for us, and our friends and family - was absolutely unforgettable.

to get married. We chose Meadow Wood Manor for the staff, the incredible food, the attention to detail, and the awareness of each and every guest. The staff is absolutely INCREDIBLE (we should know we were part of it!) but being on the other side of things made us realize even more how inexplicably special each staff member is. From the hostess greeting each guest, to the servers and runners who work tirelessly to make sure everything is perfect and each guest is the happiest they could possibly be, to our AMAZING bridal attendants Gloria & Alli - who tended to us and our bridal party every minute of the evening. Next is the owner, Jeff, who makes sure that everything is going smoothly and is there to personally check on the guests at each table after dinner is served. Our Matre'd Donald was beyond incredible - making sure there was not ONE thing we wanted or needed throughout our night. My husband and I chose Meadow Wood because we wanted our guests to feel as special as we did for them spending their night with us - Meadow Wood Manor made that happen. The FOOD oh my goodness- I am a HUGE fan of eating - the choices are endless and magnificent - all of our guests were full by the end of cocktail hour (something we heard every event we worked over 8 years - and it held true with our guests too!) and there was still salad, dinner, and dessert! The grounds are incredible - the large romantic staircase, the warm welcoming lobby you can decorate with your own photos to make it feel like your living room, the grand ballroom which has breathtaking chandeliers - all while still maintaining this feeling of warmth and coziness. There will never be enough words to explain how perfect Meadow Wood Manor is and how absolutely perfect they make each and every person feel at each and every event. Many of our friends and family asked us why we would get married at a place where we both had worked for 8 years, we had tasted all the food, we knew how the party would be run - to that we ALWAYS replied - when something is a perfect, you don't need something new. We KNEW Meadow Wood Manor was perfect, we knew they would make our dream wedding a reality and that's exactly what they did. We are forever thankful to the place that we met for brining out story full circle in the most perfect of ways! We love you guys! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

staff was so nice. The food was fantastic! Mandy was our bridal attendant and she was really great on the day of helping me with whatever I needed. The other day of staff were great as well. We did not do a ceremony rehearsal, instead I had made a list and drew a picture of how I imagined it and the woman at Meadow Wood (I want to say her name was Nancy, but I don't remember) did a fantastic job of making sure the bridal party was where they were supposed to be. We arrived 3 hours early the day of to take pictures and they provided champagne and snacks. The men enjoyed the "man-cave" downstairs! The bridal room is the best we saw anywhere! very spacious! The staircase was perfect for photos. We also loved just how beautiful the whole space is, especially the cocktail hour room! We did not need to provide any of our own decorations because it is already so beautiful! It was also great to be able to bring all our things a few day early and have the staff all setup for us. I would've given 5 stars however, I had just a few comments: 1. On the day of I felt like the ceremony and then subsequently the cocktail hour and reception all started 15-20 minutes late and I still don't know why. 2. Many of our guests told us they did not know dessert was out in the other room, I don't know if it was ever announced or not. And I did not get any of our wedding cake, there were slices on our sweetheart table but they were taken away before we had a chance to go back to the table to eat it. 3. I wish they would've told us ahead of time they would be bringing us into the reception room early to try all the cocktail hour food otherwise I would not have tried so hard to eat food while we were in the cocktail room and would've instead been mingling more. However, even with those complaints, I would not have changed a thing because it was the best night of our lives and I can't imagine it being anywhere else!! I would highly recommend Meadow Wood to anyone for a venue!!

een too. Meadow Wood made my wedding a fairy tale and the entire night I felt like a princess. I wouldn't have changed a thing about it. They used all the decorations and ideas that my husband and I wanted making it such a personal and loving reception environment. My wedding was PERFECT.

we could enjoy our night to the fullest. The food was outstanding to say the least. We received so many compliments on the amount of food and the taste of everything. I cannot thank the chefs enough for adding our special requests in a flawless fashion. Overall, we had a wonderful experience and a magical night thanks to the Meadow Wood. Our long journey as a couple was rewarded with this wonderful place!

he contract after feeling comfortable by gaining our trust. Here are the key points about why this venue is one of the best in the Tri-state area. 1. Schedules only one wedding at a time and great for those not interested in cookie cutter experiences. 2. They go above and beyond to "customize" your wedding to your needs and personality as a couple. This is important because they make it about you as a couple and they have a great place to make it as your home inviting your guests so they can share on your special day. 3. They are organized and will walk you through the process. You are not expected to know everything and they answer your questions and give great ideas to make your wedding ideas become reality. 4. The food is absolutely amazing. They go at lengths to make sure your food allergies of you and your guests are met to the highest standard of safety while maintaining the integrity of that world class taste. 5. The staff is very friendly and will make sure you will enjoy your day. It's almost you feel like a king or queen. How does this happen? It starts from the top with their owner Jeffrey. He has an extensive background on food and catering. Also, the venue is about 11 years old with a classic authentic look. New yet has that nostalgic feel as you walk in the front doors for the first time and see that grand star case. As a groom, I would highly recommend the Meadow Wood Manor. I am a crazy hockey fan that met my wife at a Devils Rangers game. They went above and beyond to make our dream New Jersey Devils themed wedding come true by mixing all of our favorite things into one night. Meadow Wood Manor became my house for one special wedding night and every person of my 178 invited guests told me that was the BEST WEDDING EVER PERIOD. That's only because the Meadow Wood Manor matched the type of effort and enthusiasm my wife and I put into our wedding. It takes to tango and if you follow what they say as they guide you while putting in the necessary effort, YOU WILL HAVE THE WEDDING OF YOUR DREAMS AND MEMORIES THAT WILL LAST A LIFETIME! In full disclosure, I am writing this the day after our wedding and still on Cloud 9. And the best thing about it is that my wife and I can relive that moment once a year when they do an anniversary dinner for all of the couple that were married there!

ur menu selections, etc. Our tasting kept being pushed off by one of the employees at Meadow Wood until we ended up at a tasting a few months before our wedding - we were annoyed to say the least. Then as we moved closer to the wedding I was given a 15 page Microsoft Word document to complete and submit 2 weeks before the wedding. The document took me 5 hours to complete because there was so much detailed information requested. I submitted the document within the timeframe requested. When we arrived at Meadow Wood the night before our wedding to conduct the rehearsal the staff messed up the entire document. They left our Best Men and Maids of Honor and family members out of the ceremony and the employee who was leading the Rehearsal proceeded to argue with me about what order I would like my family and bridal party members to go down the aisle. We had one hour reserved for the rehearsal dinner - thirty minutes was spent fighting with this employee and the other thirty was spent rushing through the ceremony process. The day of the wedding I arrived early with the bridesmaids. That same employee approached me thirty minutes before I was about to walk down the aisle and let me know that "we have a problem". She proceeded to list the "issues" and tell me that it had kept her up all night worrying about it. I had to fight with her again about what order I wanted my bridal party to walk down the aisle. My bridal attendant was not attentive at all - I had a rather large wedding gown and the maitre'd let me know that the attendant could bustle my dress for me instead of asking my MOH. I kept asking for the bridal attendant to help me but she was standing in the corner talking with one of the other employees. I also am dairy-free (which we put into the contract) and she didn't seem to know or understand that. I spent a lot of the night explaining what that meant and what I could and could not eat - needless to say I hardly ate that night. Before we booked our wedding we had it confirmed that we would like to have shots given out at our wedding. My husband found out that the bartenders were refusing to give people shots during the reception. He had to have an hour long conversation with the maitre'd and the same employee that was giving me a hard time about the reception. He was extremely irritated about that because not only did it take a lot of time out of the reception for him, he felt that our guests weren't getting the experience that we had paid for. Our guests kept telling us that the food was great and the venue was gorgeous, however my husband and I did not have a great experience with them. We felt like we were promised a lot of things, including the owners being on-site for our wedding and none of it was delivered. If you are looking for a venue where the staff is attentive and friendly, do not book at the Meadow Wood Manor. I felt that it really ruined our entire wedding experience.

rgeous and fit the classic elegance vision that I had in mind for the wedding reception perfectly. I was able to drop some of my personalized decor off 2-3 days in advance of the wedding day, and I was blown away when I walked in on the day of by how beautiful everything looked, the team really has a knack for displaying everything just the right way. The lobby, with its grand staircase, is simply breathtaking. It sets such a good feel upon walking into the venue. The cocktail hour room is so impressive, it has a grand library look and fit all of our wedding guests comfortably. There were many high tops and low tables placed throughout the room which made it easy for everyone to eat. The ballroom may be my favorite part though, with its high ceilings, crystal chandelier, french doors, soft lighting and cream color muted tones evoking such an understated elegance. The layout of the room was perfect, with equal amounts of seating along either size of the large dance floor. We had 175 guests at our wedding and there was so much space. The food was absolutely delicious, and there was so much of it! Our wedding guests are still talking about the food at our wedding and saying it is the best food they've ever had at a wedding, especially the cocktail hour. It definitely sets the standard for me for weddings going forward. We chose the Grand Wedding package, and it was more than enough. There were five different food stations and over twenty passed hors d'oeuvre to choose from during cocktail hour. For dinner we chose the coconut shrimp and salad combo as an appetizer, it was so delicious. For entrees, we offered our guests a choice of prime rib, herb crusted salmon, frenched breast of chicken risotto, and a vegetarian option was included as well. For dessert, we had cake from the bakery that Meadow Wood referred us to, Gourmet Touch, plus choices of other dessert stations (we chose waffles and funnel cake and berries and cream, plus international coffee service and after dinner drink station. Again, I can't say enough good things about the food. We were lucky enough to do a food tasting at Meadow Wood a few months before our wedding and we even got to speak to the chef about some of the different entrees. We were so excited to be able to try everything! One special touch that the staff did for my husband and I was save plates of food from the cocktail hour for us, since we were so busy talking. Just before cocktail hour ended, one of the staff pulled us aside so we could go into the ballroom and eat the cocktail hour food in peace and quiet together. Thank goodness for that! Everything went so smoothly on the day of with the help our our coordinator Connie and the rest of the staff. The owner Jeff was even walking around offering guests food and drinks and making sure everyone was having a great time! I was very impressed by that. They were so attentive to all of our guests, especially both of our families. I also have to mentioned our phenomenal sales coordinator Mary Ellen. We met with Mary Ellen our very first time visiting Meadow Wood, and she was with us through the whole planning process, making sure she had every detail down for what we wanted.

MWM! Highly recommend!!!

n't know why anyone would get married anywhere else. THE BEST!

e and my new son chose to have the ceremony and reception at this lovely venue. Our guests are still calling to say what a great wedding it was and how wonderful the food and service was! There is no better compliment. The staff were all delightful and very helpful. We truly felt like we were at home, which is the feeling that the couple wanted- just wonderful! I hope to be invited to another event there soon. Good luck to the MWM- just an awesome job, can't thank you enough.

a timely manner. She was helpful and knowledgeable about how to set up our day. The day of our wedding was truly amazing. As soon as our shuttle arrived, our bridal attendant, Gloria, was outside, ready to help me get up to the bridal suite. Food was already set up for us and she came in several times to update me on how set up was going and asking if I needed anything. Throughout the night, she made sure that my husband and I had everything we needed from drinks to food to our personal items at the end of the night. She was amazing! Michelle is another wonderful staff member at the Meadow Wood. She was at the venue every time we went for either a tour or to drop our items off. She decorated everything perfectly and added little details that made the lobby, cocktail room, and reception room look fantastic. I have gotten so many compliments about the food and service. We had 230 guests and no one seemed to have to wait for drinks at the bar or wait long on a line for food. My guests are raving that this was one of the best weddings they have been to. The food was absolutely delicious! Thank you to everyone at the Meadow Wood for making our day a fairy-tale!

d we wouldn't change a thing! From the moment we booked the date, Mary Ellen was absolutely wonderful. She was enthusiastic about our day and eager to help us. As the day got closer, and we had to make more decisions, everyone at Meadow Wood Manor made it so easy! On the night of our tasting dinner, Jeff, the owner, entertained us and our parents by being a fabulous MC. Our server, Dan, was wonderful...we even requested that he work the night of our wedding! Michelle, our decorator, made me feel confident that she was going to make the decorations that we brought in a few days before the wedding look perfect, and she did! The minimal decorations that I brought paired with the traditional, classic, cozy, warm rooms within the Meadow Wood Manor gave me the exact vision that I had for our wedding. The day of our wedding went exceptionally well! Everyone on staff that night was so pleasant. Throughout the cocktail hour (which some guests thought was our dinner because it was so delicious and grand), the owner, Jeff, went around with platters and served the guests just to make sure everyone was happy and getting to try the MANY different foods. My husband, Chris, and I were treated like royalty. They got us absolutely anything that we needed at any moment. They treated our parents with the same level of service as well! At the end of the night, we gave everyone on staff hugs good-bye as if they were family. Family and friends are still raving about our wedding to this day! They loved the size of the cocktail hour room and the amount of seating in there as well. They have raved about the burger and shake station, the seafood station, and so much more! They even recognized how wonderful the staff was. I can go on and on about how wonderful Meadow Wood Manor is! I only wish that I could do it all over again next year!

d our guests are still raving about the food and venue. I loved every detail of our special day and the staff were phenomenal throughout the night making sure everyone was taken care of. We highly recommend the Meadow Wood Manor for a personalized event that ensures you are the number one priority!! Thank you!

accommodating and helpful and the venue was beautiful and reflected our vision completely! We received so many compliments from our 200+ guests on the whole evening and couldn't be happier with how things turned out! We would choose Meadow Wood Manor again and again if we had to go back in time bits a no-brained if you're looking for a fabulous venue with a beautiful ballroom, amazing cocktail hour options (our custom Oktoberfest station was a huge hit!) and unique entree selections! I hope we get to go to another wedding at Meadow Wood Manor in the future because we know it will be great! Thank you to everyone who helped make our September 24th wedding so wonderful!

that the menu is very customizable.

ce itself. Could not have been happier.

venue! The staff went above and beyond our expectations. They made the most important day of our lives feel effortless and full of joy. From the bottom of our hearts and on behalf of all our family and friends, THANK YOU TO THE MEADOW WOOD MANOR for a once in a lifetime experience that we would've never had if it were not for their expertise, attention to detail, and the genuine caring about our special day! Wedding Date: 05/15/16

ou walk in the door they are nothing but attentive to the couples wants and needs. Jodi spent almost an hour with me the week of the wedding to make sure everything would be perfect for us they day of. On our Wedding day Brett and Amanda made sure we had time to eat, made sure our drinks were always full and checked on us periodically throughout the night to see if we needed anything. Even the owner Jeff, made sure we had everything we wanted to make our day special. The best part about the staff is they make you feel like you are a part of their family. The menu and food were absolutely amazing our families are still talking about it 3 weeks later! There are literally so many options so there is something for everyone. My husband and I were thrilled with the outcome of our Wedding Day! It was everything we dreamed of and more thanks to Meadow Wood Manor!

ake was exactly what we wanted. The venue is soooooo beautiful!

with us via FaceTime instead of us having to fly in to choose tablecloths etc. Would highly recommend.

cancelled limos, and my husband stuck in Whippany to name a few (wedding in Bernardsville). After we left the church it finally dawned on me, has anyone called the venue?!?! To my surprise my husband called and spoke with the owner, Jeffrey Beers, who calmly and happily stated, "no worries, we're here and ready, and people are starting to show up". I thought for sure that they were closed or had no power and food. They said they were waiting for us. Needless to say our ride up to Meadow Wood was hell. Rt 10 was closed in both directions on and off during the day. When we arrived it was closed in both directions at Center Grove Road, the only U-turn to get there! When we showed up it was as if nothing had happened that day. The staff was so friendly and inviting. Everyone had a smile on their face. All of my arrangements were in perfect position, the foyer had all of our photos, my drink menus and cocktails were being served perfectly to order, and our dinner food was perfection. Somehow they had received everything early, in preparation, for what may have been a horrible day. If it weren't for Nancy, Jeffrey, and Maureen it never would have happened. From cocktail hour, to the 4 course dinner, and my amazing dessert ROOM (adult size chocolate fountain I highly recommend), they didn't miss a beat. I was married on the most difficult day of the year and from inside Meadow Wood you would never know. They saved my wedding day. I highly, highly, recommend them. They are an amazing establishment.
