The Old Tappan Manor

le attendants the night of the wedding and took such great care of us! The food was plentiful and delicious and it is just a beautiful space. Every aspect of the evening went off without a hitch, and I had every confidence that it would after how attentive and professional they were during the planning process. We are so happy that we went with the Old Tappan Manor for our wedding venue! Our guests were just as impressed as we were. Thank you for everything! Hope to be back soon to enjoy another event here!!

of the reception. Martin was able to work within our budget, especially since we were open to a Sunday night wedding. We can’t stress enough how grand the cocktail hour was, just incredible the quality and quantity of the food! Our guests raved about the passed hors d'oeuvres, carving stations, pasta stations, Polish & German & Italian stations and more! The cocktail space comfortably fit our 120 guests, but we could see it getting a tad crowded with larger weddings. Also, the dinner choices were amazing – we received a TON of compliments on the Filet Mignon, one of the BEST we’ve ever had, cooked to perfection. As far as the grounds, it’s really something you must see in person – this place is a true hidden gem. The ballroom is simply stunning, complete with marble floors throughout and breathtaking chandeliers. The ballroom also has different lighting features that can be adjusted to your taste! Just beyond the ballroom are doors leading to a picturesque waterfall – a pristine picture opportunity not only for us as bride and groom, but for all our guests as well! If you travel out into the front of the building you can also utilize the gazebo for additional photo ops! Just about a week before our event when dropping off the final payment, we did have to ask about the change of the summer flowers to fall mums and if they would be changed before our big day – which they were! But something to keep in mind if you plan to have your wedding when the seasons change. The night of our wedding reception was amazing and we wish we could re-live it again and again! Martin was able to work with their distributor to secure us some craft beer and a special tequila request for our guests. Lauren was our Maître’ D, and she was FANTASTIC, we can’t say enough about her – she knew exactly what to do, when to do it, and how to get it done. We also had “D” as our bridal attendant, she was at our sides throughout the ENTIRE night, asking what we needed before we even knew we needed something. The bartenders and waiters did their jobs wonderfully; there was never a line at the bar to get a drink, and the waiters really wowed our guests with their attentiveness – we received multiple comments on how great they were. We can’t say thank you enough to everyone at the OTM who helped make our wedding day PERFECT! We look forward to coming back as guests for an event in the future so we can enjoy it all over again! -Alison & Al 11.11.18

how delicious the food was, from the cocktail hour to the Viennese hour. What was insane to me was that they had a bar mitzvah in the room until 5 PM with our cocktail hour starting at 6:30 PM, and you would have NO IDEA. They are a well-oiled machine. Martin was fantastic to work with and made the planning process fun and simple. The day of the wedding, the maitre'd and bridal attendant were SO helpful without being overbearing; they made everything go smoothly and made sure my husband and I were taken care of the whole night. If you want something classic and elegant without being over-the-top, this is the perfect venue for you. Overall wonderful experience.

the most time in that room. It is absolutely beautiful from the marble floors, high ceilings, crystal chandeliers, beautiful windows overlooking a waterfall, and the grounds are impeccably taken care of. The room is massive, but doesn’t feel empty. Many of our guests really enjoyed the size of the dance floor. We worked with Martin Shanley, who was nothing but accommodating. He is extremely professional, trust worthy, experienced, and honest (which is not always easy to find in the wedding industry). We were also attracted to this venue because they only host one event at a time. This truly allowed for the OT Manor to just focus on our event. Our wedding guests beamed about the venue telling us how beautiful it was and raved about the food. The cocktail hour was amazing and many of our friends and family are still raving about it (3 months later) There was delicious selections ranging from eggplant rollatini, sushi, sliders, pierogies, to a full raw bar. The dinner selections were also delicious and you can tell that they were freshly prepared (another benefit of being the only event held). Throughout our wedding night, my husband and I had a “bridal attendant” named Christine. She was fantastic! Every time we turned around she was there to help us and get us anything we needed. She made sure that we sat down and ate but also gave us drinks (including giving us water to stay hydrated). Lauren was our maître de and was also extremely attentive to detail. We had a “dancing on the cloud” for our first dance song which unfortunately soaked the dance floor. I personally saw Lauren wiping the dance floor to ensure that the floor was not slippery for our guests. Overall, the Old Tappan Manor was excellent. I highly recommend this venue for anyone looking in Bergen County. You’re guaranteed to be happy!

l day anywhere else! Thanks OTM!

wonderful touches! All our guests commented on the fabulous ballroom and grounds. Old Tappan Manor provided us with the fairytale wedding we had hoped for! We could not have been happier!!

nue. Everyone was thrilled with all of the delicious choices at cocktail hour and the entrees were incredible. They even have a bride attendant. She was the sweetest and made my night as well as my grooms smooth and stress free along with the Maître D’. We are so happy with our decision to have our big day there and highly recommend it to couples looking for their dream venue!

sional, flexible, and accommodated all our requests. It was worth every penny!!! We had 160 very happy guests who could not stop talking about the food.

ybody other than themselves).   My husband Brian and I worked with Martin at Old Tappan.  I honestly could rave about him for days, he was FANTASTIC to work with and is an amazing part of the team they have there, they are truly lucky to have him as a Sales Manager. He made the process incredibly smooth, answered all my questions, and was very present which I think is not very common now a days.  Let’s start off with the day of, when they say things will go wrong on your wedding day and you have to roll with it it is the TRUTH that is. . except if you are getting married at Old Tappan Manor. Things went wrong with hair/makeup, the cake layers being reversed, and the hotel but not 1 THING went wrong with our venue. Literally not one thing. We pulled up to Old Tappan at 4PM the day of to be greeted by Martin along with our maitre d'  and our bridal attendant. When I tell you the staff was attentive, let me give you an idea. I was standing talking to one of my bridesmaids while the guys were getting their pictures taken and I mentioned I would die for a coca cola because I was so thirsty.  I swear nobody was around us to hear and out of nowhere 2 minutes later comes the bridal attendant with a coke. I know that’s small but it was ALL DAY/NIGHT long. They were always there in the case we needed anything but not overbearing where they were on our tails. They knew when to be around and when to give space which was AMAZING.  People say you don’t eat on your wedding day – well they clearly had the wrong spot picked because we ate (it was delish). They made sure of it. While in the bridal suite signing our license they brought up everything from the cocktail hour, they made sure we enjoyed our salad, our entrée, and our dessert. We even took home our leftover entrée that we didn’t finish because we were too busy dancing.   The place our cake came from must have mixed up the levels on the cake (as I am highly allergic to chocolate)  and when we did our cake cutting I noticed it was chocolate but don’t worry our maitre d' was there and made sure I ate and re-cut a different part of the cake.  The reason I mention this is because as soon as I saw it and was like uh, she picked right up asked what happened – I told her I was allergic to chocolate and she said don’t worry, found the layer with no chocolate in a matter of seconds and it was as if nothing as any different. We got married on May 11th of this year and everyone is still raving about the food and the service. One of our guests stated “ I never had to leave the ballroom for a drink, the waitstaff always ensured I was never empty”, my uncle said that his entrée (he picked the filet) “was the best he has had in years”.My grandpa who isn’t in the best of shape was literally treated like royalty. They ensured he always had what he needed, never had to wait, or get up and walk (which is a bit hard for him right now). I mean honestly, the entire staff was amazing. They never made us feel pressured into booking, they were honest from start to finish, the venue and grounds are BEAUITFUL, they were clear in direction and advisement, easy of working and planning  (I honestly felt the least bit stressed about our venue), incredible food and phenomenal service!

t was painless, beautiful and unforgettable. Every question we had was was answered and everyone was so respectful. The food was absolutely amazing!!! The presentation of food and drinks were stunning!!! I would recommend Old Tappan manor for ANY occasion !!! Thank you all again!!

and I planned our wedding from California and from start to finish, Moufid made the process easy and seamless. His professionalism and customer service was exceptional. The day of, Lauren took our supplies for decoration and made our vision a beautiful reality. Christine, the Bridal Attendant, was more than I could have ever asked for. Lauren and Christine were our fairy godmothers. Every guest complimented how beautiful the space was, from the reception hall to the bathrooms! Although I didn't eat any of the food, everyone said they left with full and satisfied bellies. All in all, it was the best experience I could have ever asked for and would recommend OTM to all!

also amazing and attentive. Not only did the gorgeous ballroom blow our guests away. They also raved about the phenomenal cocktail hour and delicious food. I highly recommend OTM if you’re looking for a wedding venue that’s affordable, beautiful and has GREAT food. I hope I get to be a guest at a wedding here someday, and can experience the venue again!

ce looks amazing. The food was so delicious. All of our guests enjoyed the food, and raved about the cocktail hour. Martin and his staff were excellent; they were easy to work with and made all our dreams come true. I highly recommend the Old Tappan Manor if you’re looking for a beautiful venue, with amazing food, great staff, and affordable prices.

ice was impeccable. Martin made the entire process easy and smooth. Everything was exactly the way I wanted it. He worked with all of our needs and went above and beyond to make our day perfect. Lauren our bridal attendant was fabulous!!!!! I am so happy we chose The Old Tappan Manor. My family and friends still can’t stop bragging about the food and how stunning the hall looks especially since they renovated the whole thing ! I HIGHLY recommend them not only because it was my wedding but because the food was amazing, and the services was phenomenal. You want your wedding to make a statement and The Old Tappan Manor surly did!

process. Lauren the Bridal attendant was outstanding and went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable and my needs were met the day of. The venue is spotless and beautiful, and we have people raving about the food until today. Unfortunately, my husband and I were so busy we were unable to enjoy all the food, but the viennese table is worth it a million times over! Thank you OTM for an amazing day and memories to last a lifetime. I will say that while Old Tappan Manor is not as publicized as other venues and the brand name is not as well known, it is by all means a hidden diamond in Northern New Jersey.

The food was PHENOMENAL and still talked about! The options for cocktail hour alone were unbelievable ; there was something for everyone! They even worked with me to make specialty drinks to fit our theme and personalities. The reception room was absolutely stunning and the included up-lighting added a magical/party feel the minute you walked in. The private bridal suites was the perfect place to refresh and take in the day and the outside space was perfect for capturing every picture-perfect moment. From arrival to departure the staff didn't stop to make sure everything was perfect and everyone was happy. Mofeit and Martin were wonderful to work with. They were knowledgeable, supportive, and willing to please. The provided bridal attendant Lauren was out of this world! She was there before you even had the chance to ask for her and a pleasure to have standing by your side. I recommend The Old Tappan Manor to anyone that is looking to have more than an event, but a memorable, worth-while experience.

ot delayed or taking too long. They made sure we rehearsed the ceremony beforehand so everyone knew exactly what to do, where to stand, etc. We were brought into the bridal suite during cocktail hour and there was already a table filled with food for us to consume (which I was glad to do!) and they made sure nobody bothered us - it was GREAT to have that little bit of time to ourselves! Lauren (the bridal attendant) was WONDERFUL, even took the time to figure out who was who (family, bridal party, etc) and was so personable and did a fabulous job. Rich, the maitre'd was also great, super organized and really knows what he's doing. Martin was also great to deal with before and during the wedding. The food was amazing, our guests STILL talk about how good everything was. The ooooonly thing I did have to ask for during the wedding was to turn the lights down during the free dancing, but that took less than a minute to be done. Anyway, if you are thinking about having your wedding here - do it! It's a beautiful property, the food is fabulous, and the service is top-notch!

y! We had 250 people and the ballroom was set up so beautifully and was not cramped at all! The food was unbelievable and all my guests RAVED about it! The cocktail hour was like something I hadn't never seen before ! So many options and so delicious. The bridal attendant was so sweet and anytime I needed something she was right there next to me! If I had any little bumps in the road while planning or Getting close to the big day Martin would always say that he would handle it and my only job was to have fun and enjoy the experience. I can't get over how accommodating they were and how great all the staff was! Also the pictures we took on the property were gorgeous !! So many different settings in just one venue '! They really made my night so special and my guests are still talking about how great it was! If you are even comparing old tappan manor to another venue don't look any further because this is the place to go to!

physical aesthetic, staff, food, price ALL excellent). Absolutely a diamond in the ruff of NY/NJ wedding venues!! We stumbled upon this venue while doing our initial list generation - neither of us had ever been to or knew anyone who had been to OTM for functions. The long answer is below: Martin: We worked with Martin, who is just wonderful, and a big part of the reason that we decided on the OTM versus the other 'typical' NJ/NY venues we had visited. Martin is absolutely professional, personable, attentive, available, down to earth, and experienced. He worked with us to custom design the day of our dreams. From menu decisions to seating arrangements to personalized decor that he accommodated us bringing on site for the big day, there was not a single hiccup along the way. The physical property is wonderful. A classic and clean aesthetic. An awesome entry foyer with beautiful dark wood bar! Excellent dedicated cocktail hour space with ample seating - a unique and luxury feature for cocktail hour! The ballroom space is classic, spacious, and charming. High ceilings and lots of windows! We loved that our 175 guests weren't cramped. Dance floor for days! There are two outdoor spaces - one covered patio with high tables (where we hired a cigar roller for an awesome element), the other an open patio with a lit waterfall (where we brought a gas fire pit). The bridal suite (yes it is a real designated space unlike many other venues that allocate a closet for you) is gigantic with a spacious private bathroom. Once the cocktail hour begins for your guests, Martin will kick the bridal party out so that the bride and groom have 15 minutes of peace, during which you will be served a bountiful sampling of the cocktail hour foods and drink! It is something he really emphasizes, and really made a big impact on our day! Food/Drink: Just really fantastic - and that is not a relative evaluation based on the fact that wedding food is typically meh. This food was actually objectively very good, coming from someone who values food over many things in life.. The cocktail hour selection list is gigantic - and the number of choices you make leaves you with what is still a virtually endless variety of food. The bar staff was great! The open bar was catered to our likes - the groom wanted Grey Goose, so Grey Goose was available. Another unique feature of this venue: the table waiters take drink orders and deliver them to guests at the tables. Richie (Maitre d'): Awesome. Richie is incredibly professional and a master of his craft. Super organized and efficient - we wish we could hire him to run our lives. We met him to day before to show him the decor we had brought, and in the blink of an eye, he knew exactly where we wanted everything, the vibe we were going for, and delivered 110% on the big day. Lauren (bridal attendant): The best! She was always at my side when I needed her, but never in the way or overbearing. Had things for me before I knew I wanted or needed them. Stealth excellence. HAVE YOUR WEDDING/FUNCTION at OTM!!!! =) (MORE REVIEW DETAIL ON FB AND YELP!)

mmendations they provided for vendors were perfect! Our DJ and photographer were suggestions of the Old Tappan Manor and we were thrilled with them as well! The day of the wedding, Lauren and Rich were fantastic! There was no stress on our day with the team of Martin, Lauren, and Rich. We got married the end of June and we still receive praise of how amazing our wedding was! We cannot begin to thank them enough for all that they did to make the start of our marriage so wonderful!

nce to enjoy as much of my food as my guests did. The venue was stunning, the perfect backdrop for our photos. Family and friends continue to comment on what an outstanding time they had. Rich was the maitre d', and Lauren was the bridal attendant. They both were on the ball and readily available whenever we needed them. We could not recommend the OTM highly enough.

aking. Even though my husband's party caused us to be 45 minutes late (something always has to go wrong lol) Old Tappan Manor was nothing but accommodating. Martin made sure the photographer stayed on track so that my husband and I could actually enjoy time alone. Everyone is still talking about the amazing time they had. From the delicious and extravagant cocktail hour to the beautiful chandeliers and marble all over the place. I wish I could do it again all over!! Martin even personally told me when he was heading out and made sure I was OK before hand. Of course I was because he left everything in the hands of Rich, the matre'd. The bridal assistant was also very attentive and she made me feel like it was still about my husband and me even though we all know it wasn't lol! You will not be making a mistake having your reception here. Everything is perfect from the bathrooms to the food to the landscaping. And not to mention, it was much more bang for your buck than the 10 other venues we looked at. Thank you Martin and the rest of the Old Tappan Manor staff for making another couple have the wedding of their dreams!

o easy to work with, and always with a smile on his face! Rich was such an incredible help the night of the wedding and he really help direct us and took care of any questions that we had! We got SO MANY compliments from all of our guests about the incredible service, excellent food, and what an overall amazing job everyone at The Old Tappan Manor did. They really made our night exceptional!!!

nd was always very polite, attentive, and helpful! He helped us immensely with the planning process and was with us every step of the way the evening of our wedding! I had so many compliments on the food! The French fry bar was a favorite and we sprung for a roasted whole pig (totally worth the extra couple hundred). Our guests raved about the service as well! Rich, our maitre d', was organized, attentive, and very in tune with our needs! Lauren, my bridal attendant, was so amazing and helped me with anything and everything I needed! We were thrilled with The Old Tappan Manor and would recommend it to anyone and everyone! Thank you for an amazing wedding!

e dreamed of. We had our ceremony at a church but once we arrived for the reception, we were greeted right away. Champagne was offered to guests and the staff was very accommodating and friendly. They really try their hardest to accommodate your needs. The venue itself is gorgeous! The outside grounds are beautiful for pictures and it is gorgeous inside with high ceilings, a large dance floor, and beautiful chandeliers. We had 240 guests who fit comfortably. Our friends and family still come up to us and tell us how beautiful everything was and how great the food was. The food, which is hit or miss at most weddings, was hands down the best I’ve had at any wedding we’ve ever been to before! Our experience at Old Tappan Manor was an 11 out of 10! I recommend Old Tappan Manor to any couple looking for a reception hall!

o work with. They were very accommodating with some changes and in working with us to make sure our night was perfect. Martin was so helpful in advising us in all our appointments. Rich, our maître d' was amazing - very helpful in making everything look better than what we ever dreamed of. We are so beyond grateful for their service! Thank you so much!

c. The day of my wedding was the best day ever. The food as excellent. The service was superb and overall we had an amazing wedding. The staff went above and beyond to make sure that everything was smooth and exactly how we wanted. I am so happy with my decision to use this venue. We had both our ceremony and reception there on August 15th, 2015.

searching. I called and made an appointment to see it 2 days later. I was immediately impressed with the location, grounds, and amazing ballroom. I fell in love with it before Martin came down to meet me. We worked with Martin Shanley through pretty much all of the steps. He was easy to get in touch with and followed up on every question I had for him, even the minor ones. On top of that, I felt that Old Tappan Manor went above and beyond to give us little extras. Our Maitre d Richie was also great to work with. I only met him a week before the wedding, but everything went smooth thanks to him. Martin was also present throughout the entire reception which made me feel even more confident about the night going smoothly. All of my guests have said nothing but great things about our reception, including cocktail hour, the grounds, the service, the food, etc etc etc. Thank you Old Tappan Manor !!!!!

e waterfall cascade with patio, the stunning ballroom) and the service was excellent! There was a minor issue with the sushi station (apparently there was a car accident and the sushi did not arrive on time), but Martin quickly let us know about the issue, assured us they were getting replacement sushi, and offered to reimburse us the amount we paid for it! The replacement sushi arrived towards the end of our cocktail hour and Martin made sure not only that people were able to get some before the reception but also that we received a plate of it after our cocktail hour. People also really enjoyed the mashed potato bar, the carving station, as well as so many of the other delicious food available. The level of attention to detail was incredible! Throughout the night, all of our guests kept commenting on how great all of the food was and how attentive the waiters were. The facilities were clean and well maintained. We had a fantastic time and I would highly recommend Old Tappan Manor to any fellow bride and groom looking for a stunning place in northern NJ to celebrate your big day!!!!

from the first time we met with him. He was so easy to communicate with and made planning so simple. He worked with our available dates and within our budget to help us create a perfect day. I have received so many compliments from our guests on the professionalism and excellent service from the staff and especially on the amazingly delicious food. Our ceremony was in the ballroom, and the transformation they made for the reception was incredible. I will definitely recommend the Old Tappan Manor to friends & hope that someone gets married here soon so I can attend another party at this terrific venue!!

eded a few questions answered (as I had been emailing him and the fact he left was never communicated with me), but from then on we worked with Martin who was absolutely wonderful. He wound up giving us all these "freebies" not included in our original menu plan at no additional cost. He made sure the day of activities went so smoothly. The food was ABSOLUTELY THE BEST, which was important to me. People were really raving about it. The ballroom is absolutely gorgeous and the dancefloor is huge. They'll make whatever size wedding you're having work out great. I know that it's a bit of a drive for most people in NJ, but it was so worth it.

the cocktail room, bridal suite and bar, every part of the venue is classic and decorated to the nines! The ballroom is simply magnificent and breathtaking. The chandeliers are out of this world and the lighting setup makes for such an incredible atmosphere for guests. And that's just the look of the place, not to mention the EXCEPTIONAL maitre d and staff at the Old Tappan Manor. Working with Martin Shanley from day one led to smooth sailing for a year and a half of planning. I'll never forget how Martin said to us the day we met--- this is YOUR day and we will make it special and unique for you. He did not disappoint-- everything we wanted on that day, we had. My husband is a total food lover, so that was his area of expertise. When he and my dad looked at the menu options, their eyes just lit up! Everything you can imagine was on there and more. Our selections were sincerely enjoyed by all of our guests and some fan favorites were the raw bar with lobster, oysters and seafood of all kinds, handmade sushi right on site, a panini bar with cuban sandwiches and corned beef ruebens (showing our cuban and irish hertiage), the italian antipasto, pasta station, scampi station, meats... I can go on and on! Everything was enjoyed and there was something for every guest's palate. Martin and the chef on the day of our tasting recommended three exquisite entree options, that our guests selected the night of the wedding (a nice touch) and I've never seen so many entree plates wiped clean after a full happy hour! In addition to the spectacular food, the most special part of the day, to me, as the bride, was the comfort that our friends at the Old Tappan Manor provided. Martin felt like a part of the family and I knew if i needed anything at all, I could find him and he would take care of it. Having planned events for most of my career, it is so important to have someone to lean on like Martin. I trusted him to help us run the event smoothy and honestly, everything went off without a glitch. Thank you Martin & everyone at the Old Tappan Manor for making my fairytale wedding come true. I without reservation recommend the Old Tappan Manor for any bride seeking a unique, memorable, personal and unforgettable experience.

work with, and extremely accommodating. The ballroom and the venue itself is absolutely gorgeous, with the chandeliers, LED lighting, and marble dance floor, and the food is just delicious. Their pricing is also an amazing value for what you get! They also have a HUGE and beautiful bridal suite that was an excellent place for me and all of my bridesmaids to get ready during the day. I felt like we were taken care of the whole day and night. Frank was our Maitre'd. After the ceremony, my husband and I were ushered up to the bridal suite and given a sampling of every station at the cocktail hour (there were many!), so we actually had a chance to eat that night. During the reception, we were encouraged to eat our dinners, but since it was a lost cause, they wrapped up our meals for us and we ate them the following night. I would love to come back here as a guest. The whole wedding went off without a hitch, and I am so happy with the whole day!

ll talking about it! We have Josef, Martin, Moufed and Frank to THANK for our amazing night!!

day is the best day ever. Once you enter into the reception you don't have to worry about anything, Martin and his staff take care of every last detail and are amazing! All our guests were beyond impressed by the ballroom, the food and the overall atmosphere… actually people can't stop talking about it! Deciding to have my wedding at the Old Tappan Manor was the smartest and easiest decision I made through out the whole wedding planning process!

lex was our Maître de on the day of and he worked very hard for us ensuring that our guests had a wonderful time. I received so many compliments from our friends and family regarding the beauty of the facility as well as the excellent food. OTM also had a wedding coordinator, Karoline, who made sure that my husband and I sat down to eat our dinner, had drinks and brought us a sampling of the cocktail hour food to the huge bridal suite. She was wonderful! This venue is an absolutely beautiful place to hold a reception. The ballroom looked stunning with our floral centerpieces and uplighting. It also has a very pretty outside area for pictures. I would highly recommend The Old Tappan Manor to anyone who is looking for a beautiful venue to host their wedding.

as second to none on the day of the wedding. Even my father commented on how great Martin was, and he’s a hard person to impress! When we arrived in the limo, Martin was outside waiting for us. He escorted the bridal party into the cocktail hour room early so that they could eat before heading back outside to take pictures. He escorted me & my husband up to the bridal suite and brought us drinks and a variety of cocktail hour food. He told us to take as long as we wanted and to come down for pictures when we were ready. This was absolutely key: my husband was adamant about not missing out on the cocktail hour for pictures, and we were starving by the time we arrived. It was also nice to have a few minutes alone together before the reception started. This wasn’t something I asked for, and am so grateful that the Old Tappan Manor arranged for it! The night went very smoothly - we had our own waitress standing by all night, and Martin found us when our dinners were served to make sure we sat down and ate them while they were hot. The décor and grounds are beautiful. I would recommend taking some pictures outside in front of the waterfall after the sun goes down…those are my favorite shots from our wedding. I would absolutely recommend the Old Tappan Manor as a wedding venue: the service, food (especially the cocktail hour), and ambiance were all top notch!

ur, everyone loved it! Another recommendation would be their Viennese table. The amount of dessert you get and the variety is unbelievable. One suggestion if you do the Viennese table they do not cut and hand out your wedding cake to guests, they actually need to go up and get a piece, if I knew this I would have asked them to hand a piece out, not everyone wants to get up and go to the dessert table esp. older guests. Otherwise we had an amazing night and Martin was great to work with.

eople to stand also and enjoy the food and drinks at the same time while mingling. The ballroom is gorgeous with magnificent chandeliers and tasteful lighting. It has the perfect amount of decoration without being gaudy. The grounds are beautifully landscaped with great places to take pictures if the day is nice. There is a gazebo and waterfall which is lit up at night also. The waterfall is right behind the window where they place the bride and groom table during the reception. Martin was a pleasure to work with through the entire process and helped the whole night run flawlessly. The cocktail hour food was beautifully displayed and everyone raved about the stations and passed hors d'oeuvres. The reception room was well-decorated and light with purple uplighting for a romantic feel. Dinner was delicious. Both the groom and I had the chateaubriand and yes we did have a chance to eat because Martin made sure to bring us some cocktail food before we went to the cocktail hour and also made sure we sat for a few minutes for the dinner. At the end of the evening we had a Viennese Table in addition to the normally served dessert at the request of the groom and for an additional cost. They went above and beyond what we expected they would do for it and our guests are still talking about it. We had the perfect wedding reception and I give a lot of the credit to the staff at Old Tappan Manor for making it such a wonderful celebration that my husband and I got to share with our friends and family. I highly recommend checking out The Old Tappan Manor for your wedding. You will not be disappointed.

of it they received. The room is also absolutely beautiful and was plenty spacious for our 200 guests. We cannot say enough about our wedding day at the Old Tappan. I would highly recommend this venue to anyone in the area.

worked tirelessly to ensure that a good time was had by all. One of our concerns as a same-sex couple was finding a venue that would understand the inherent differences of our wedding, yet treat us as they would any other couple. We found that, and more, with the good folks at OTM. Not only was our same-gender union a non-issue, but by having only one event at a time, we were really given personal and individual attention that other reception sites couldn't offer to us. We were thrilled with the results!

zing the service was and how delicious the food was! I was a little concerned about not having a bar set up in the ballroom and they assured me that the waiters would take drink orders all night and they absolutely did. Alex and Martin were amazing on the day of our wedding, they took such great care of everything! My wedding was the week of Hurricane Sandy and lucky the OTM was ready to go no matter what, a tree had fallen down in front and they had it cleared within a day. They had a backup generator and made me feel totally comfortable that my wedding would be able to stay as scheduled. The prices at the Old Tappan Manor cannot be beat. There is nowhere as pretty and nice as the OTM for the price, I looked at so many venues and the Old Tappan just had it all!

ics. The food was delicious and they really take care of the bride and groom. O. The wedding day you don't have to do anything but enjoy the party. Coming from NYC and with the quality and service we got I considered it a bargain

nt to a wedding before it was complete). After booking the OTM, I have to say we weren't overly impressed with the customer service. They are very confident in their way of doing things and make you feel a little uncomfortable when you ask for something different. That being said our wedding was honestly perfect. Martin was our maitre'd for the day (we had worked with Alex for the year leading up to the wedding). Martin was absolutely excellent. He checked in with us regularly and even gave us advice based on his experience. The night was a huge success, with one exception. Our fish option, which we had been looking forward to for a month, was not correct. The fish they served us was excellent (as was everything else), it just wasn't our original entree choice.

ur wedding. They do not care about your needs as a bride, they are more concerned about making money off of you.

th. Your venue is an incredible one. The LED show was amazing and I recommend everyone to get it because if you don't you will regret it. The food, the staff and environment was the best. My wife and I were very impressed with everything from day one. In fact we didn't even think we could afford this place but thanks to you we made it. My family and friends were also extremely impressed and Old Tappan Manor made me proud of making such a great event a very successful one. Definitely looking for a new excuse for a new party. Thank you Alex!!! :)

give it more of a country feel while in the suburbs. Everyone loved the color-changing fountain, as well!
