The Rockleigh experience was beyond incredible - we truly could not have picked a more perfect wedding venue! From the moment we arrived, everything was fabulous. The venue itself ...
is stunning—immaculately clean, beautifully decorated, and thoughtfully organized. The bridal suites are gorgeous and the perfect place to get ready.
The staff went above and beyond. They were professional, attentive, and genuinely kind, making us and our guests feel cared for all day and night. No request was too small—if you forgot anything or needed assistance, they were right there with a solution. The food was great, and the service seamless. Some guests said this was the best wedding food they've ever had. And the options during cocktail hour are endless.
It’s rare to find a full-service venue where everything runs so smoothly, but this team made it feel effortless. Jeff in particular was AMAZING to work with. He brings a sense of calm into every conversation and is happy to work with you on any type of request. From planning to execution, Rockleigh handled every detail so we could simply enjoy our day. We would highly recommend this venue to anyone looking for a beautiful, stress-free, and unforgettable wedding experience. Cannot say enough good things about The Rockleigh. Would HIGHLY recommend!!!

Our wedding at The Rockleigh was an absolute dream! We got married on August 9, 2024 in The Grand Ballroom. I was between a few other, very similar venues, Florentine Gardens, etc....
What set The Rockleigh apart during booking was the elevated experience, the elegance, and the formality that seemed to surround all out interactions with them, which ultimately helped us make our decision. That same elegance extended to our wedding day, and we couldn’t be happier. Our wedding was black tie, and the goal was elegance and formality, and The Rockleigh ensured everything aligned with my vision. The ballroom was absolutely stunning, complete with our florals, rentals, and décor. Unfortunately, it was raining on our wedding day, we could not really enjoy the grounds and the fountain, but they are beautiful! Not just the ballrooms, but every inch of the venue itself is beautiful, the foyer, the grand staircase, all of it was next level.
We worked with Jeff and Natalie, and they were extraordinary. I had no concerns leading up to our wedding day. From the moment we arrived, they and their staff ensured all our needs were met. They worked flawlessly with my wedding planner, and all my vendors. Unfortunately, it did rain heavily, but The Rockleigh did everything in their power to ensure our day was absolutely perfect, despite the weather. They went above and beyond and made sure everything was executed to perfection. All my minute details, my décor, everything was perfectly executed to my instructions. The food and drinks were amazing. My guests to this day still rave about cocktail hour, commenting that it was the best they’ve ever experienced! Dinner was top notch, which is often were things fall short. But at The Rockleigh, it was perfection from start to finish. For dessert, we did passing Viennese at Jeff’s recommendation. Although I was a little apprehensive and was leaning toward traditional Viennese, it was a great choice. Not only was ambience, food, and drink pure perfection, so was the party. The Rockleigh and my DJ ensured the dance floor was packed all night, which was my ultimate goal! Also, The Rockleigh treated not only myself and my husband with white gloves, but also my parents, which did not go unnoticed. They were grateful for that extra attention and exemplary service they received.
The Rockleigh Experience does not end after the wedding day. They truly make you feel like family. Given it rained heavily on our wedding day, they graciously invited us back for a re-shoot with our photographer. I couldn’t have been more grateful! In addition, we were at The Rockleigh about two months after our wedding as guests, and as prior Rockleigh couple, we were personally attended to by Jeff and the ownership. They went above and beyond to ensure we had a great evening even as guests!
Booking at The Rockleigh was one of the best decisions we made. I urge anyone considering them for their wedding to book, you will not be disappointed!

When an unexpected storm rolled in, the staff handled the situation with such grace, executing their backup plan flawlessly and ensuring we felt zero stress. We were also so touched by the special tasting experience they provided for us, allowing us to savor every item from our wedding menu. Throughout the entire planning process, Bari and Melanie were a dream to work with, always attentive and responsive, and they brought our vision to life with their expert guidance. We can't recommend The Rockleigh enough!

A Dream Wedding Come True at The Rockleigh — 12.31.24
Our wedding at The Rockleigh was nothing short of extraordinary — truly the best way to close out the year and begin our new ...
chapter. From the moment we first visited the venue, we were in awe of its timeless beauty, impeccable grounds, and elegant ambiance. But what made our experience exceptional went far beyond the breathtaking chandeliers or the sweeping staircases — it was the people.
From the start, our venue coordinator Bari made us feel like we were in the most capable, thoughtful hands. She was warm, professional, and incredibly accommodating. No question was too small, and no email went unanswered. As a bride planning the entire wedding myself, having Bari as a steady and supportive partner made all the difference. She anticipated needs I didn’t even know I had and brought a calm confidence to every step of the process.
On the day of our wedding, the Rockleigh team went above and beyond. As soon as I pulled up to drop off my decor and supplies, they met me at the car and took care of everything — I didn’t have to lift a single finger. From there, they kept seamless communication with our day-of vendors and helped everything move with ease and intention behind the scenes.
When I arrived with my bridesmaids, I was blown away by the stunning bridal suites. I had my own private suite and my girls had theirs, allowing us both space and togetherness. One of my favorite details was that the snacks, drinks, and food were thoughtfully placed in a separate lounge area — a small touch that meant so much to me since I didn’t want food or drinks in the suites to impact our photos or risk any wardrobe accidents. That level of consideration is what makes The Rockleigh so special.
From the ceremony to the last dance, every moment was curated with care. The staff was friendly, efficient, and so kind to our family and friends — many of our guests even took the time to personally mention how impressed they were with the service.
And then… the FOOD. I had heard from countless brides that one of their biggest regrets was not eating enough at their wedding — especially because The Rockleigh is famous for its cuisine. So I made sure my husband and I took a quiet moment in our private suite before the reception to actually enjoy the incredible spread they prepared just for us. From cocktail hour to the entrees, every bite was a showstopper. Our guests still talk about how delicious and abundant everything was. It was truly unforgettable.
Looking back, I wouldn't change a single thing. If we could do it all over again, we absolutely would — and we’d choose The Rockleigh every time. It was the most magical way to end 2024 and start forever.
Response from The Rockleigh on 10/10/2025
What a beautiful thoughtful review. Thank you for taking the time to share your Rockleigh ...
Experience. We are so glad we helped you ring in the new year with a night you'll never forget. We hope you will think of us every New Year.s with very fond memories. Love to you both!

There are not enough words to say how wonderful the Rockleigh is!!! We booked our wedding at the Rockleigh over 2 years ago and enjoyed every part of the planning process with them...
. Jeff and Natalie worked with us and they were the absolute best! They made us feel stress free and took care of everything!! On the day of our wedding, we were treated like royalty! I I had staff with me all day taking care of me and making sure nothing went wrong. Not only were we treated like royalty our guests were too! The entire staff was so wonderful in taking care of our guests. My dad never needed to get up. Everything was brought to him. My husband and I never had an empty drink in our hands. Not to mention the beauty of the property. The grounds were absolutely breathtaking, and ballroom was stunning. We have not stopped receiving compliments about how beautiful our wedding was and how amazing the staff was. I will NEVER get over how wonderful the Rockleigh is. HUGE shoutout to Natalie, Jeff, Bryan, Fi, Anthony and the entire staff at the Rockleigh. You all are absolutely amazing, and we are so grateful to all of you! There will never be a better place to have your wedding!!! You WILL regret it if you don't!

nie were a pleasure to work with throughout the entire process - they were organized, easily reachable for all questions, and so knowledgable. From the moment we arrived Saturday morning, I was blown away by attention to detail and service we received - we were treated like royalty! The bridal attendant even had my PJ's ready and steamed upon my arrival! Kelly & Brian were unbelievable. Kelly is a rockstar - her attention to detail, calmness, and helpfulness made my day. The food was beyond delicious, the presentation was beautiful - people are telling us they have never eaten more amazing wedding food in their lives! I knew it was going to be incredible, but somehow everything far exceeded our expectations! Thank you for everything - it was truly the best day we could have ever asked for!

Where do I begin!! We got married at the Rockleigh on Saturday, 3/15, and It was the best night of our lives. I always knew I loved this venue but the second I left after my initia...
l tour, I knew It was where I had to get married.
The Rockleigh is next level and their attention to detail is what makes them different from all the rest. From the start, Jeff was absolutely AMAZING - making all our nerves go away, knowing we were in good hands. He answered all our crazy texts and calls with calmness and in an insanely quick timeline!!
Natalie and Jeff are the best - we absolutely loved working with them and they made sure everything we wanted came to life! We had a few last minute changes and Natalie was there, and on it! It truly was incredible.
On the day of the wedding, everything ran SO smoothly. The bridal attendants, Sandra, flor and Daniella were a DREAM TEAM!!!! Sandra was by my side all night long, making sure I was happy, calm, and got me everything I could possibly need. She was always one step ahead.
My guests can’t stop talking about how beautiful the venue was and how outstanding their food was. Quoting the night as the “best wedding ever!”
When I think of the staff at the rockleigh, I know think of friends. They truly are 10/10 and I’m honestly going to miss talking to them everyday.
I cannot recommend this venue enough!!

ave a hour window for guests to arrive late. To have the ceremony outside, the Rockleigh timed when the rain was supposed to stop and start again. We had a quick ceremony but it was outside like I wanted it.
The service at the Rockleigh was phenomenal. My guests raved about the food. My attendants were truly heaven sent. There wasn’t a problem they couldn’t solve. I have no regrets. The Rockleigh gets 10/10.

We can’t begin to express how much we felt taken care of by Bari, Melanie, and the entire Rockleigh Team. From being extremely generous with their time during multiple site visits,...
to giving us extensive options to choose from that allowed us to have the wedding of our dreams, the planning process was made much more comfortable and enjoyable because of the Rockleigh team. The day of our wedding was incredibly eye opening- Bari had said several times before that they would make our dreams wedding come true and she was not joking. There was not a single ask that went unfilled, from helping steam my wedding attire and tuxedo so I could focus on getting ready, to literally giving me a bow-tie because I had forgotten mine at the hotel, the entire day was elevated by the professionalism and care we felt. And all of it was done with joy, kindness, and a level of comfort that was really helpful when the pressure us on. I can’t recommend the Rockleigh enough simply for their team. On top of that the venue is incredible and provided the atmosphere for the most elegant and magical experience we could have imagined!
Thank you to the Rockleigh who showed us they are the best in the business for all kinds of weddings and celebrations!

was outstanding—his attention to detail is unmatched, ensuring everything was perfect on our big day. From the day we met him, we knew we were in good hands. He was extremely attentive throughout the planning process and quick to answer any and all questions we had. The venue itself is stunning, but what truly set it apart was the exceptional food and its beautiful presentation. Our guests haven’t stopped raving about the cocktail hour and the Viennese hour!
A special shoutout to the bridal attendant, who was beyond attentive and had anything I needed within seconds. She kept me calm and at ease throughout the day, knowing that everything was taken care of. Every aspect of our day exceeded expectations. We couldn’t be happier and highly recommend this venue to anyone looking for a truly unforgettable wedding experience! Our only hope is to have the opportunity to attend another wedding as a guest at The Rockleigh!

The Rockleigh was truly first-class all the way! From the moment we stepped foot inside, we could tell this place was different than any other venue - aside from the sheer beauty ...
of the lobby, they made you feel instantly important and valued before ever even getting to know us. Once we toured the rest of the building and sat down with our coordinator, Bari, the experience only got better. They stayed in touch with us from the moment we signed our contract, guiding us, answering questions and fielding requests straight through our wedding day. From the customization of our menu and signature cocktails to the alteration of our wedding day timeline and the floorplan of the tables in the Bristol Room (and everything in between), the staff at The Rockleigh made it their goal to simply see us happy...no fuss, no stress...and in this wedding-planning process, something that simple goes a LONG way!
From the food to the decor, The Rockleigh will be unmatched. Both the Bristol Room (where we had our wedding) and the Grand Pavilion are stunning rooms to hold your reception. The chandeliers are extremely elegant, yet not flashy, while the huge round dance floor really seems to welcome your guests in, rather than making them feel far away. The rooms come with LED lighting that can change to whatever color you'd like, allowing you to customize the look for any affair. And if you have an evening affair, get ready to take some show-stopping pictures in front of the gorgeous lit-up fountains.
But what truly sets The Rockleigh apart is the people. Bari, Melanie, Jamie and the whole staff are some of the kindest, warmest, most helpful and most attentive people you could ever hope to meet, let alone get to work with to plan your wedding. We knew we were in good hands all the way, with people who knew everything that needed to be done to make our day special. They make it their mission to make sure the bride and groom have little to no stress on their wedding day (and even in the days leading up to it). Colón, our maître d, along with the bridal attendants, Brayan and Daniella, could not have been more helpful and attentive on the day of. Everything was kept on-time and on-track (and if you have a signature cocktail like we did, expect a fresh one at your seat every time you leave the dance floor!).
Simply put, choosing The Rockleigh was the best decision we made during our wedding planning process! We will remember the beauty of our venue through pictures and videos forever, but we'll mostly remember how they made us feel like family. You will not be disappointed in choosing The Rockleigh for any affair...I'd even go as far as to say you'd be extremely lucky to say you had it there! They are simply the best!

There are not enough words to express how amazing The Rockleigh is. My husband and I knew we wanted to get married here before we even stepped out of our car at our first visit her...
e. Our wedding planning process was so smooth and we rarely felt stressed during it because we were in good hands. They went above and beyond for us, made sure we had enough food, and all our guests were taken care of. The food is incredible, the staff is professional and friendly, and the venue is breathtaking. I would highly recommend getting ready and having your ceremony there as well as the bridal suites are beautiful and so is the ceremony space. Our wedding was perfect from start to finish. Every wedding venue should run their events the way The Rockleigh does. We can't recommend them enough and will always remember our wedding as the best day of our lives. Extra thanks to Jeff who was our contact the entire time and helped us plan the best wedding!

Our Rockleigh wedding (October 2024) was everything we could have ever dreamed of and more. From the day we toured the venue, Bari and Melanie (the dream team!) were spectacular in...
helping us plan our big day. I could not even think of questions to ask because everything was answered already and laid out for us with ease in the planning process. Leading up to the big day, Bari and Melanie were extremely responsive and helpful, reassuring us that everything would be perfect the day of the wedding - and it truly was! On the day of the wedding, the ENTIRE staff was nothing short of first class, and all of our guests cannot stop raving about the food and stellar service. From start to finish, the Rockleigh staff did not miss a beat and had every detail nailed perfectly. We dropped off some items to be set up the day before the wedding and everything was set up even more beautifully than we could have imagined. Even the day after our wedding, we were greeted with mimosas as the staff helped us load items into our car. Such a nice touch!
Our assigned Rockleigh day-of coordinator, Sandra, was so spectacular and made me feel so comfortable the entire day. She was prepared with a fix for EVERYTHING - she helped steam my dress, fix my bustle and dress straps, had fashion tape on hand for a dress mishap, and even fixed a button that broke off my husband’s pants before the reception. She also brought amazing positive energy - our entire bridal party loved her. She is truly something special!!
Our guests cannot stop raving about the food, especially the amazing cocktail hour. The Rockleigh had one of every item from cocktail hour waiting for us in our suite after the ceremony which was such a nice touch. They even set up tables with the same food items for our parents so that they could greet guests with ease. Our signature cocktails were also done perfectly. It was easy for our guests to get drinks all night with awesome service at both the bars and tables.
The beauty of the venue itself speaks for itself - everything at the Rockleigh is always impeccable. The grounds were beautifully landscaped where our outdoor ceremony was held and the bright and airy indoor spaces were just perfect. My bridesmaids and I did the early arrival package where we were able to get ready in a beautiful suite overlooking the fountain with delicious breakfast and lunch provided.
As a type A perfectionist myself, I am not easy to please but I can honestly say my husband and I have 0 complaints about the Rockleigh. From the planning to the day of and even after the wedding, everything was more perfect than we could have imagined. We are so grateful and highly recommend booking the Rockleigh for a wedding!

The Rockleigh country club lived up to their notable name and more. Michael, Jeffrey, Natalie, and Susan were impeccable service throughout the 2+ years of planning our special day...
. They made us feel worry free at every interaction along with having the answers for every question I had. Not for one minute I had any doubts they would perform to perfection throughout this whole wedding planning process. The service staff throughout the wedding day including : Oleg, the maitre’d , the groom assistant , and the bridal attendant were amazing. They treated us like royalty and would be the best service we received in our entire lives. If you want to have a wedding with the highest quality of dining , lounging, mingling, and top tier service, I highly recommend The Rockleigh. Thank you to all for a perfect day and making my dream wedding a reality 🤍✨👰🏻♀️🤵🏽

We CANNOT thank everyone at The Rockleigh for the most amazing experience!! The Rockleigh made our wedding the best day of our lives!!

Let me start off by saying WOW! My husband Mitul and I recently got married July of this year, we had in mind on what we wanted. So, finding a venue that could accommodate and meet...
what we were looking for was the main goal! We saw some venues but nothing compared to the Rockleigh! When we walked in we both had this feeling that this was the place we would be bringing our loved ones to celebrate our marriage. Like the saying “when you know you know” and that we did. We worked with Jeff and Natalie and they made the experience so fun and really got a grasp on what we wanted! They made the process so easy for us and really listened to every question and concern. I will never forget when Jeff told us there’s no experience like the Rockleigh experience and boy he was not joking when he said that! Every person in the Rockleigh was attentive and made sure we had the upmost experience they did everything for us! From the moment we walked in the morning of our wedding we were greeted by staff who unloaded our luggage from the cars for us, made sure our bags were accounted for and that’s when the Rockleigh experience really began. The staff displayed all of mine and my husbands outfits in a room, steam pressed and hung all of our outfits! Had all of our bridesmaids and groomsmen outfits out along with our families. I mean cmon?! I couldn’t believe it! Everyone was super friendly and made sure everything was perfect! Everyone at the Rockleigh had a goal and that was to make sure my husband and I along with our families had a stress free day and they did not disappoint! Whenever we needed something someone was always there being one step ahead of the game. The service was top notch service I truly believe you won’t find that anywhere else. The FOOD was outstanding!!! Being that we had an Indian/American wedding we wanted everyone to have a taste of both cultures. We were blending two families and becoming one. Everyone to this day still talks about our wedding. The main thing everyone talks about and says “this was the best cocktail hour we’ve ever been to. And do you see how many chandeliers there are??” “We were greeted with champagne then I walk into cocktail hour and I’m being handed an old fashioned” “This is the best venue and wedding we’ve ever been to!!!” Natalie and Jeff are nothing short of amazing and if I could I would relive our wedding a million times over. Natalie and Jeff are by far the best people we have ever gotten the pleasure to work with and I promise you not IF but WHEN you have your wedding at the Rockleigh you will not be disappointed. There is so many more great things I can write about the Rockleigh, and the staff but I seem I can’t fit everything in. But all I do know is the Rockleigh experience is top tier white glove service and everyone there is always watching and making sure you are all taken care of!! Not to mention, they sewed my husbands button back on his tux when it fell off during cocktail hour! You don’t get that treatment anywhere else! We truly loved everyone there and we are so thankful and blessed we got to share what we feel was the most perfect day. Natalie, Jeff, and all the staff at the Rockleigh we love you we appreciate you and thank you for making our fairytale wedding come true! 10/10 everyone should have their fairytale moment at the Rockleigh it’s an experience of a lifetime!! Jaid and Mitul Patel :)

Our experience at the Rockleigh was phenomenal - we had toured almost all the wedding venues in northern and central NJ, but we could not get over The Rockleigh. From the minute we...
toured the venue to our wedding day, the coordinators and team were available to answer any/all of our questions. We worked directly with Bari and team to execute our dream Indian wedding. Bari knew Indian weddings, including all the customs, traditions, and steps, like the back of her hand. The team at The Rockleigh is so well-versed in Indian weddings, their bridal attendants can even drape saris. Our guests could not stop raving about the service and decor at The Rockleigh. The Rockleigh is worth every penny and more - we cannot recommend this venue enough to South Asian brides and grooms looking for their dream wedding.

There is no way to sum up my experience at The Rockleigh in 3500 characters but I will try! From the second we walked in the doors to see the space for the first time to when we le...
ft on the bus concluding our wedding, my husband and I felt and were treated like gold. The staff at The Rockleigh is absolutely unmatched. Not only are they organized and patient but they are also just incredible humans. The food is the best around. The cocktail hour was the best our guests have ever seen. They will be talking about the service & food for years to come. Every dietary restriction, allergy and other accommodations weren’t only met but exceeded expectations. We will be full for weeks!
We worked directly with Jeff at The Rockleigh and he was an absolute dream to work with. Whether it was during our planning process, a middle of the night panic text or the day of… he never ceased to amaze us. We had 20+ vendors the day of our wedding and The Rockleigh team was instrumental in making sure the day flowed perfectly.
I wish we could get married 10 more times just to experience The Rockleigh all over again. Don’t walk to sign at The Rockleigh…. RUN! You won’t regret it and your event will be the day you always dreamed of! They deserve a 100000/10!

My wife and I recently had our Persian wedding at The Rockleigh, and it was an absolute dream come true. From the moment we first walked through the doors, and met Jeff Spivack and...
Zara Khayatian we knew we had found the perfect place to celebrate our special day.
The venue’s stunning ambiance and elegant décor perfectly complemented the traditional Persian elements we wanted to include in our ceremony and reception. The flexibility of having our timeline planning, beautifully landscaped gardens, charming cocktail hours set up, having special "Tah-digh" and "chayi & shiririni irooni" created a magical atmosphere that was both sophisticated and inviting.
We cannot thank the staff enough for their incredible support and professionalism. Jeff & Zara, in particular, were true gem. Their attention to detail and willingness to go above and beyond ensured that every aspect of our wedding was flawless. They seamlessly integrated our traditional Persian rituals into the event, which made the day even more special for us and our guests.
One of the highlights was "the exquisite catering that included a variety of traditional Persian Tea, Pastry & sweet", "Sofreh-Aghd", "Specific Tah-digh Recipe by Zara". It was clear that the team at The Rockleigh is dedicated to creating a memorable experience for their clients.
In summary, we would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a venue that combines elegance, personal touch, and expert service.
Thank you, Jeff & Zara, for making our wedding day so perfect!

Thank you so much to Bari, Melanie, Daniela, and Colon for a wonderful experience! Their professionalism and hospitality was incredible and, not only did we notice and appreciate i...
t, but our immediate families and guests did as well. We had a smaller wedding of about 130 people when they usually have 150-600 people weddings. Yet, they still treated our wedding with the care and effort that they would for larger weddings. Bari and Melanie made us feel so welcome throughout the planning process and really worked with us, especially as we had last minute cancellations due to family emergencies. Daniela and Colon made the actual night of the wedding flawless. They constantly checked in and made sure that us, our immediate families, and other guests had everything taken care of. We arrived at the venue around 3pm and cocktail hour wasn't until 6pm. They took care of our bridal party and immediate family the entire time with little hors d'oeuvres and drinks while my fiance and I took pictures. They let our guests into the cocktail hour room 10 minutes prior to the official start time and were great about not kicking us out at 11pm on the dot. The cocktail hour was out of this world and their new version with more of the options being pre-plated on small plates was awesome. Everyone raved about the food from beginning to end. The Rockleigh staff all went above and beyond with their hospitality and I couldn't recommend them enough to everyone!

Our maitre D Cologne was phenomenal as well. Everything was perfect and I only hope to attend another event as a guest one day to enjoy the experience again!

Our wedding was on 11/25/2023 and we’ll never get over it. From the moment we walked in to tour this stunning venue, we knew it was the one. Zara worked with us from the beginning ...
to the very end and truly made us feel so at peace throughout the planning process and on our wedding day. The warmth we felt from each and every staff member was like nothing we’ve experienced before. Our guests were blown away by the exceptional food & drinks and are still raving about it all to us. Our wedding was truly top notch thanks to all the Rockleigh provided, having attended many weddings, the service here is unmatched. I hope our future children get married here someday! The only things I’m really sad about are that 1. we can’t do it again and 2. The Rockleigh isn’t a restuarant that I could dine at! But thankfully we have the very best memories to look back on. ❤️

any ways since we planned everything on our own. The wedding day was beyond our expectations. Our guests are still raving about the food and fun they had. The service was beyond expectations. The ceremony in the outdoor space was out of a fairytale. The ballroom was beyond my dreams. We had our own cocktail hour and our maitre'd took good care of us. They kept us on schedule but let the day play out organically as well. The pictures from the venue turned out BEAUTIFUL. Our only regret is that our wedding wasn't 2 days! Book this place, you wont regret it!!! -
Also, since we were too excited to eat much they packaged up a sampling of the food that we enjoyed the next day which was a nice touch.

Our wedding day went better than we could have ever imagined thanks to the help of Jaime, Sandra, Kelly and Colon taking care of all of our needs and sticking by our side the entire day. The Rockleigh was accommodating to all of our food allergy/requests. The venue itself is absolutely stunning and all of our guests were taken aback by its beauty. Our guests were impressed by the white glove service, the Rockleigh cocktail hour and Viennese dessert hour. The bartenders were all incredible and kept our guests happy all night! A big thank you to Bari and the Rockleigh team for helping make our wedding day the best possible and unforgettable.

Zara and Michael are so talented at what they do and are true professionals. Wedding planning can be stressful but they made the experience so easy for us and we will be forever grateful for them. The entire staff went above and beyond to make our guests have the best experience ever. Our guests are still raving about how impressed they were with the staff and how it was the best venue they have ever been to. Not only did they treat my husband and I like royalty, but our entire family. At any given moment, they were there ready to help and get us whatever we needed it. Special shout out to our Maitre D Jamie and bridal attendants Sandra and Kelly who were absolutely amazing. The entire day, they did not let us lift a finger and were a calming presence and made sure everything ran smoothly. We could go on and on about how perfect The Rockleigh is. If you want the wedding of our dreams, have it at The Rockleigh and you will definitely not regret it!!! Thank you so much Rockleigh team for making our wedding day the best day of our lives!

They catered to our every need during the wedding and were always present ensuring we were happy.
Our guests cannot stop talking about the delicious food. Everything served was amazing and beautifully presented! From the famous cocktail hour to our breakfast to go! The venue is simply gorgeous!! What a memorable day for our guests!! Your attention to your guests and customers really makes the difference. We couldn't be happier! I hope to be invited to a wedding at the Rockleigh so I can experience it as a guest.

I could have gone through my wedding without the help of Anthony and his team, Daniella, Catherine, Colon and, most definitely, Jeff. Even before the wedding day itself, communication with Susan and Jeff was effortless. Everyone made everything so easy and straightforward.
My husband and I could not have dreamt of a better experience. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you. Thank you for making the day absolutely incredible. Thank you for all the help. Thank you for being available for everything we can dream of needing. We highly highly highly recommend the Rockleigh to any couple who want the absolutely perfect wedding experience.

I dropped off all of my party favors and engagement picture the night before and everything was set and ready to go by the time I got there the next day. I felt like royalty! My family and friends still rave about how organized and elegant the event was. There were times I felt like I had nothing to do because the Rockleigh literally took care of everything! The venue is absolutely breathtaking and I love that it is so accommodating. I had over 400 guests and it didn’t even feel like it because things were taken care of so well! I would recommend the Rockleigh team time and time again!

The Rockleigh is a best-in-class wedding venue that truly goes above and beyond, I can not imagine having our wedding anywhere else.

My husband and I met Jeffrey back in December 2020. I knew from the day we tour Rockleigh and his hospitality that day, The Rockleigh was the one. Not just because the grounds were...
so beautiful, I knew I would have a beautiful wedding there from the staff. During the almost two year wedding planning process, Jeff made it so easy! He always answered texts and helped with anything. We also worked with Zara because I had a persian and catholic ceremony. Zara's mom has the most amazing sofreh aghd business I ever seen!
Fast forward to the wedding day, September 29th 2022. I have no words! I was on the grand pavilion side and Zara and Jeff set up the most amazing area for my bridal party and I. I had about 15 ladies with me.The breakfast station and the best little sandwiches ( till this day my bridesmaids talk about it haha) for lunch. Jeff came up to check up how everything is going. Our bridal attendant was so sweet!
After ceremony, Jeff brought my husband, our families some food from cocktail hour. When my husband and I were in the bridal suite enjoying our private time during cocktail hour. They brought everything from cocktail hour. One thing I will never forget is, Jeff remembered I said I love cheese empanadas which wasn't on the menu. He surprised us with that! I was in shock.
Our guest rave about the food and service six months later. I can't thank Jeff, Zara and the Rockleigh staff for the most amazing wedding that was more than I could ever dreamed about. If you are thinking about The Rockleigh for your wedding or party, DO IT!!

My husband and I worked with Jeff Spivack from the very beginning - and he was in lockstep with us throughout every stage of our wedding planning through the last minute the night of our wedding. Jeff is one of a kind, exceptional at what he does, and we are eternally grateful for him. He helped make our dream wedding come true...
Our wedding was a bit unique because we wanted to implement both of our different middle-eastern cultures and Jeff knew the one and only who could help us bring this vision to life - Zara Khayatian! Love her.
The service, the staff and the execution delivered at The Rockleigh is truly exceptional. Eternally grateful for Jamie and Anthony too who were with us every step of the way the day/night of our wedding.
I wish I could just relive that night over and over again. Good thing I have two sisters who will be getting married in the future and I'll get to be a guest this time at The Rockleigh and soak it all in again!!!

The Rockleigh gave us the wedding of our dreams. If you are getting married in NJ, this is the place you have to book. From the moment we met with Jeff and toured the space, we kne...
w this was where we had to get married. Aside from being the most beautiful wedding venue I've been to, from the chandeliers to marble floors to the grand ballroom and the perfectly manicured grounds, the service is absolutely impeccable and something I have not seen matched in all of the weddings I've been in and have attended.
Jeff is a dream to work with, answering questions, eliminating worries and making sure our day was beyond perfect, which it absolutely was. He also had us slow down and take what we were experiencing, which is so important on a day that goes by in the blink of an eye. I'll never forget how he had me take a minute to pause before I walked down the aisle and take in the moment and look around to see how beautiful the night was.
Four months later and people still tell us it was the best wedding they've been to, and we owe that all to the Rockleigh. From the moment we stepped through the doors at 8 am to begin our day, to the moment we left at 12:30 am, we wanted for nothing. We were constantly tended to. We felt relaxed, taken care of and at ease. Not only was Jeff amazing, but the support staff is also unmatched.
Our maitre'd Colon and bridal attendant Daniella are two of the best people I've worked with in any industry. Colon kept the entire day running on time and smoothly and was extremely pleasant, kind and caring to work with. Daniella was always there for me for anything I needed and I felt completely at ease and taken care of. She is so incredibly sweet.
Aside from the service and attention and beauty of the venue, the food was top notch. This is not your usual cocktail hour and wedding food. People still say the Rockleigh has the best wedding food they've eaten, and they are correct. The sushi, peking duck, tequila ice luge and taco station, truffle filet mignon and potatoes and the dessert hour with crepes, ice cream and chocolate fountains, was nothing like I've ever seen before. We were absolutely stuffed and satisfied.
There are not enough stars to give or amazing things to say about this place. We're forever thankful to everyone at the Rockleigh and beyond grateful we were able to have our wedding there.
