We truly don’t know where to begin. Thank you to The Rockleigh for executing the wedding of our dreams! Our wedding experience was absolutely incredible from start to finish! Jeff 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 here. 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 🤍✨👰🏻♀️🤵🏽
My wife and I got married at The Rockleigh on August 25th and it was a magical experience. Heard nothing but positive feedback from the guests, and the food and atmosphere was fantastic. They helped give my wife and I a day we will never forget and this place will be in my heart forever.
The Rockleigh was truly the most memorable venue for our wedding day! Every single detail was accounted for and Jeff and Natalie went above and beyond for us!! We are so beyond happy with every single part of the day and all of the employees did an outstanding job!! The food was UNREAL! We were able to try one of each from our cocktail hour just my husband and myself, privately, in our bridal suite! It was so special and every food option was offered to us to try as well for our main course. The mixology bar was amazing and a HUGE hit for all of our guests! There were 400 guests at our wedding and everyone was able to have a memorable experience. Everyone CANNOT stop talking about our beautiful day! 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.
I could not recommend the rockleigh enough! our day was perfect! all of the rockleigh staff were so attentive and on top of everything! so many guests raved about the food and service and the staff really does treat you like family!
Where do I begin? We had our wedding at the Rockleigh on 9/13/2024. It was the most beautiful and best night of our lives. Not only for us, but our guests said the same thing. My wife's Maitre'd, Daniella, was there for every moment of the day. Anything that she needed she was there with no questions asked! Jeff and Natalie were the perfect coordinators and were with us from the time we booked to the day of our wedding! Tony was a huge help during the night and anything we needed he was there. If you want the best wedding, book with the ROCKLEIGH! Everything is top notch there; drinks, food, experience!
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 left 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!
The Rockleigh was exceptional. They went above and beyond even our greatest ambitions for what the wedding could look and feel like. The staff members anticipated all of our needs and checked in with us to ensure that we could fully soak in the joy of our wedding.
We got married at The Rockleigh last month and it was the most amazing night of our lives. From the moment we walked in, Bari made our experience so special and only got better from there. There was support and communication every step of the way, which helped ease our minds and made the overall planning less stressful. We couldn’t have asked for better food, better coordination, or a more beautiful venue. Our guests are still raving about their experience. Every single person was amazing to work with- Bari, Melanie, Jamie, Tony, Carlos, Gloria and the whole Rockleigh team are truly amazing at what they do and we are forever grateful to them. If you are looking for the best of the best wedding venue, look no further!
Just had our son's wedding at the Rockleigh. It was amazing. The professionalism, personal touch and attention to details was phenomenal. The venue is majestic: the ballroom is so beautiful,the gardens and the huge pool spectacular.
Right from the day when we were planning this to the reception day ,the staff especially Jeff took such good care of everything. They responded to all of our concerns and queries in a timely fashion and accomodated all of our requests. They create such a great environment. The ambiance and service were unforgettable.
Thank you Jeff and Anthony
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 it, 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!
There are truly no words for our experience. They Rockleigh made a foreign place feel like home. They treated everyone like family, gave exceptional service, and the food was phenomenal. Bari and Melanie were beyond amazing, I had to have zero worries that day. Our wedding was the most magical day ever thanks to the Rockleigh. They never said no, we’re beyond accommodating to all of our needs. Can’t forget to shoutout the bridal attendants Daniella and Kelly. Any problem was solved in a matter of seconds. 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!
I got married at The Rockleigh on 01/20/2024. I still have no words to explain how incredible our experience was from start to finish. Jeff was hands down the most amazing human to help us plan our big day. The staff was unbelievable, people are still raving about the service and how impressed they were. The food is top notch, our cocktail hour was unreal!! I'd book the Rockleigh 100x over again. If you're on the fence, do it. If you want a smooth wedding process with absolutely no issues.... get married here! It simply doesn't get better than this. Thank you to Jeff and the entire staff, especially Daniela and Colon. Love you all so much!
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. ❤️
This venue was beyond our dreams. From the initial meeting, to the planning process, to the big day. Zara, our coordinator, was amazing. She put us at ease and helped us in so many 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.
I want to preface my review by saying I have NEVER written a poor review online about any company, I really don’t believe in doing so. But I want to save future couples the nightmare the Rockleigh has put us through from happening to anyone else.
To make a very very long story short – I was supposed to get married the week that Covid hit in 2020. All of our guests canceled and a state of emergency was declared. The wedding could not happen. The Rockleigh then charged us fees that were not in our contract and through the next year or 2 were absolutely horrible to deal with. When our friends in similar situations had their venues work with them, the Rockeigh provided us fraudulent permits (as confirmed with the NJ DOH) in order to charge us huge fees to move our wedding if we refused to have an “illegal” wedding.
We were ultimately out of pocket many many thousands of dollars to the Rockleigh for a wedding that never happened and for no reason whatsoever – they lost no money (in fact they received PPP funding). Just to show how greedy and slimey they are, when we tried to reschedule our Saturday night wedding they told us they were fully booked on Saturday nights for a long time, BUT, they were still going to charge us several thousands of dollars to move our wedding anyway (to a non-Saturday).
When it suited them they said they were hurting financially, but then they said they were fully booked and operational – they say what they need to in order to get their clients to pay more money for no reason. Just horrible.
Now, YEARS later, and despite the fact that they received MANY thousands of dollars for a wedding that never happened, they are SUING my family, with an infamously shady collections lawyer, to try to get the full cost of the wedding! In my opinion this is the slimiest most disgusting thing a business could do.
There are MANY other details and examples of how horrible this business is.
At every opportunity they will look at you like a dollar sign, not a valued client.
If everything goes perfectly you will probably have a great wedding. But just know, if there is any hiccup they will treat you like the enemy and probably sue you.
You are better off having your wedding at any of the similar venues, which I know, treated their clients that were in the same situation I was in, like human beings, like valued clients – not like dollar signs.
I can’t even put into words how amazing the Rockleigh was. We got married on August 4th and it was the wedding of our dreams. Melanie and Bari were amazing and helped to alleviate any stress I had leading up to the wedding. My bridal attendant was fabulous and so was Jamie. The food was delicious and the service was perfection. I was worried about it raining during the ceremony but the staff had 3 weather sites open on their computers to ensure there was no rain in sight! Thank you Rockleigh for the best night of our lives!
From the day we first toured the Rockleigh, Bari had taken care of all of our needs. As she promised us, no stone went unturned when planning our two wedding ceremonies and reception. Bari was quick to respond to all of our questions and accommodated our schedule traveling from out of state when visiting for meetings. 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.
We got married on 6/11 and there aren't enough words to describe how amazing The Rockleigh is. From the moment we walked in the doors for a tour, they treated us like royalty and we knew right away, this is where we wanted to get married. We had the pleasure of working with Zara and Michael and they went above and beyond to make our wedding the best day of our lives. 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! YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST!!!!
My daughter's wedding this past May 2023, was simply perfect. The supreme level of service by everyone from bridal attendants to servers and administrative staff was simply outstanding! The experience was always pleasant and always helpful. From the beginning meetings with Michael Subarsky to the planning of all the details with Zara and Stephanie. Everyone kept it fun and exciting the entire time which can also be very stressful. Anthony and Peter, our maitre d's, were incredible. 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.
true 10/10 experience. Jeff and Natalie were there from the beginning to answer talk of our questions no matter the day or the time. The rockleigh team provided us with exceptional service and support you provided throughout our wedding journey. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and dedication made our special day truly unforgettable.
From the very beginning, Jeff and Natalie guided us with expert advice and helped us navigate the planning process smoothly. Their patience in answering our countless questions and accommodating our requests was truly remarkable.
On the wedding day, everything was flawlessly executed, thanks to the Rockleigh Teams meticulous planning and coordination. The venue looked stunning, and our guests were impressed by the seamless flow of events.
We are immensely grateful for everyones hard work, kindness, and the warmth with which you treated us.
Jeff, Natalie, Anthony, Jamie, Daniella, and the whole rockleigh team played an integral part in making our wedding day a dream come true, and we will cherish the memories forever.
From the moment of reserving a date until the very last send off, everything is tailored to the couple. My day was absolutely perfect. Communication was flawless. I don’t know how 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.
The Rockleigh was exceptional from the moment I did my tour to the moment I walked out the night after my engagment party. They truly exceeded my expectations. The service was amazing! I arrived earlier than expected for my hair and makeup and they had a suite ready for me with snacks and lunch! 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!
We had our wedding at The Rockleigh and our experience was nothing short of amazing. The space, the staff, the food - everything was incredible. They are organized, detail-oriented, and accommodating. Michael is wonderful and a total pro. Natalie, Gabby, and Jeff were all the best (honestly, the whole staff shines). We’ve had a long list of guests tell us how much they enjoyed the night - a direct result of The Rockleigh and their hospitality. We just can’t say enough great things about them. 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!!
I recently got married at The Rockleigh (Feb 18th) and it was an absolute DREAM!! Everything about our experience and our guests' experience was 10/10. The venue is absolutely stunning, newly renovated details, the food was top notch extremely delicious with the most incredible presentation and ABUNDANCE of different cuisines served during cocktail hour. Our guests, and my family, are still raving about it today. All top shelf liquor too :)
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 knew 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.
If you want top notch service from start to finish the day of your wedding then go with The Rockleigh. Our guests raved about the food and atmosphere as well!
The Rockleigh was absolutely amazing from start to finish. We worked with Zara and she was professional, kind, and overall great. I cannot imagine getting married anywhere else but the Rockleigh!
From our first appointment to the wedding day, Bari, Melanie, and the entire Rockleigh team made sure our wedding was perfect! The entire planning process was super easy and the team was very responsive to all our questions and requests. Even when the fire happened less than six weeks before our wedding, we were constantly updated by Bari and ensured that our wedding would be unaffected. The venue and grounds are beautiful, the day-of staff were excellent, and the food was impeccable. Our guests are still raving about how great of a venue The Rockleigh was, and we would highly recommend them to anyone getting married! Thank you again Rockleigh team!
Jeff and the team did an amazing job on our wedding day! We got married on possibly the hottest day of the year and I was super concerned about the heat. Jeff made sure there were umbrellas and fans available to keep us cool during the ceremony. Even when things became chaotic, he was a calming presence around us and our families. We were so grateful to have worked with him and had his support through this process and could not recommend the Rockleigh more as a wedding venue!
From the moment we met with Bari and Melanie, we knew they would do everything in their power to make our dream wedding come to life. They were responsive and supportive - answering our every question or need within hours. It felt like we had known them forever - within a few short meetings we truly felt they understood our wedding vision and priorities. As for planning, we used their simple portal to track our rsvps, seating chart, floor plan, table assignments, and more. We had a checklist that left me feeling confident that no detail would be overlooked. As for the day of, the food was spectacular and the service was impeccable. We had ~240 guests and every guest was tended to, no one was sitting on lines for food, drinks, bathrooms, etc. Overall, Bari, Melanie, and the whole Rockleigh Team made it their mission to ensure our wedding was perfectly executed. They effortlessly supported us from day one and helped us host the wedding of our dreams.
We hosted our daughter’s wedding at the Rockleigh on a special Friday night in November and I must say that the team exceeded our expectations in every way!!
Bari was our planner and did an exceptional job working with us on every detail, helping bring my wife and daughter’s visions to life!!
Anthony was our amazing Maitre D, leading his team of very accommodating servers that just made the entire evening so special!!!
Thank you to everyone at the Rockleigh for taking such good care of us and our guests!!! Best Night Ever!!!
To say that Rockleigh went above and beyond to make our wedding day extraordinary would truly be an understatement. I had heard from countless friends and family members to expect something "going wrong" on your wedding day - it happens to everyone - and while I completely believe that's true 99% of the time, I can say with full confidence that not only did everything go "as planned," but FAR exceeded even our wildest expectations. The Rockleigh staff is second to none and make a point to anticipate your needs and subtly act on them, make EVERY person at the venue feel like they are MVPs, and made my [now] husband [!!!] and I feel like royalty. They thought of EVERY. SINGLE. DETAIL. and no ask was too big or too small. I'd say I'm biased; however, every guest has subsequently told us that it was the single best wedding they had ever been to - and we couldn't agree with that sentiment more. I could keep going, but words honestly can't do our experience with the Rockleigh team justice. We are SO grateful and we'll be reliving every perfect memory for the rest of our lives.
We don't think there could have been another venue more perfect for us. We fell in love with the Rockleigh on our first visit and it was so hard to find something that would even compare. We loved the idea of having the entire property to ourselves, having the entire wedding day be an experience which each and every part in different rooms (baraat, ceremony, lunch, reception, cocktail hour, etc.). Not to mention, it is a stunning venue with helpful and caring staff members. Our family and friends are still raving about our wedding and how beautiful the venue was, how excellent the service was, and how many pictures they got all over the property! We especially want to shout out Zara and Stephanie who were SO great to work with for all of the planning leading up to the big day and the actual day. We cannot thank them enough for how special they made us feel and how they played a role in making our dream wedding come to life! Rockleigh has it all - highly recommend!
We had the most AMAZING wedding by booking our wedding at The Rockleigh. Jeff was great to work with, he was so responsive to all my questions during the planning process and made things so simple and easy for us. Everything is taken care of, there is not one single detail that was forgotten on the day of our wedding. As a bride, having the ability to relax and trust in The Rockleigh staff on the day of your wedding is priceless and something I was so grateful for. My bridal attendant Jaymi, stayed with me throughout the whole day and made sure all my needs were met. She was so lovely and great to work with and I will always remember her! The venue itself is beautiful and the food, drinks and service were all amazing. Our guest to this day are still talking about our wedding and how fun it was! We are so grateful to the Rockleigh and could have not picked a better venue to get married.
We had our wedding at The Rockleigh in September 2022. There are a lot of beautiful wedding venues in NJ but what sets Rockleigh apart is their service. From the moment we first took a tour of the venue to the last seconds on the dance floor on the day of, everyone at the Rockleigh treated us like family. Before our wedding we were constantly told by people that you should expect for things to go wrong but not to worry about it because it comes with the territory. We can honestly say that nothing went wrong on our wedding day (or at least the Rockleigh was so good that they made sure we didn’t notice even if something did go wrong!). We had a complicated wedding with two ceremonies, a lunch, and then cocktail hour/reception. We loved that the Rockleigh had so many different spaces. This made each event feel like a new and different experience. We also had the Rockleigh cater our cocktail hour and dessert for the reception. Both were a HIT. The Vienesee dessert hour is a must have. We are still getting compliments from guests about how amazing it was.
I want to give a special shout out to two people in particular. First, is Bari. She was so incredible in making sure that we (and our families) got everything that we wanted. I can’t think of a single time that she said no or that something wasn’t possible. She always just made it work. We can’t thank Bari enough for being so friendly, accommodating, and dependable. The second person is Sanda. She was an attendant on the day of the wedding and we don’t have enough words to describe how great she was. Sandra made sure that both of us had everything we needed from about 4AM-12AM. We had a lot of events and little free time to eat/drink but she managed to keep us fed and hydrated throughout the day. She was even great the next day when we went back to the venue to pick up some things we had left there.
All in all, the Rockleigh was the perfect venue for us. Between the ambiance, variety of event spaces, the food, and amazing service we couldn’t be happier. We hope to be back as guests sometime soon! If you are thinking about the Rockleigh for your wedding I recommend them without any hesitation!
It was the most horrible experience. When they tell you one event at the time please don’t believe it .
I just found out 5 Days prior my event that they rented our ballroom to someone else. We paid extra fee to be there earlier at the bridal suit , but for our surprise we didn’t had access to the rest . It wasn’t until 5:00 pm when we have access to decorate the ballroom when our guesses were outside in the cocktail hour outside at 6:00 Pm. Just imagine all the chaos in that room in which we have 21 tables , all large crystal chandeliers , sweetheart stage to decorate, wrapping up the floor , Dj set up , Mirror boots, cigars bars set up ( we end it set this up all at the outside ) all at the same time . I had to hired 16 extra people to be able to do the job within the time range assigned by the venue 5 days prior to my wedding . A couple weeks before our event I passed by to make some measurements and the place was shouted down for the entire weekend because it courted on fired. When my team decorated the outside I found the bride from the other side taking pictures on my side of the pool , and we had to wait until she was done with her pictures to do ours . Just imagine something like this .
This should be the most beautiful day of my life and the manager Berry converted into a nightmare . I feel so bad for future brides who will contract this venue.
My daughter and son-in-law’s wedding was at The Rockleigh this past June 2022. We can’t say enough about the truly amazing job they did to make the day absolutely perfect!!! And it was really perfect! The venue is gorgeous inside as well as outside! From the planning stages to the event, the communication, service, food, presentation, attention to detail, and professional, caring, warm, and helpful staff made the day stress free and spectacular! They were a step ahead of us expertly guiding us through the day and prepared for any calamities like sewing an eye hook and removing a spot on the bride’s gown as well as making sure my brother had a nut free meal. I can go on and on…. The pre wedding rooms were so spacious and comfortable. The pre wedding food was delicious as well. After the wedding they took such great care in packing everything up for us and putting it in our cars. We really felt like royalty for a day and so many guests told us it was the nicest wedding they had ever attended. Very special thanks to Jeffrey, Daniela, and Jaime. I wish we could do it all over again!
I can't get over how INCREDIBLE our wedding was at The Rockleigh?!
Leading up to our wedding, everyone wanted to give us advice- and the most common 'words of wisdom' were: "Lots of things are going to go wrong, just expect it, and don't let it get you down!"
Well, I fully credit The Rockleigh with creating a wedding day where, truly, NOTHING went wrong. We had a magical, perfect, fairytale day, all thanks to the amazing organization and teamwork of Zara, Stephanie, Jamie, and our entire team at The Rockleigh.
All of our guests were impressed by the level of professionalism and service provided by The Rockleigh. From kind and seasoned waitstaff and attendants, who helped our entire day to go so smoothly (shoutout to Jamie who seriously made sure everything was perfect for me and my husband, thank you for making sure we ate and taking care of all of our decorations and belongings, we never had to worry about a thing), to the food which was absolutely delicious, seriously, no one says wedding food was delicious, but this was fancy-restaurant quality good, to the setting which is pristine and beautiful- I can't gush enough about how amazing the Rockleigh was.
They were so accommodating, ordering specific ingredients to make our signature cocktails perfect, placing allergen cards on our passed hors d'oeuvres trays to ensure all our guests could enjoy, and managing every detail so that it all ran smoothly.
Our entire wedding planning process was honestly as stress-free as they get, largely because we placed our trust and faith in Zara and The Rockleigh, and boy, did they deliver. I am so glad that we worked with them for our wedding. They made our day perfect. RUN do not walk to book your wedding there!
We just had our wedding at the Rockleigh this past Saturday and they gave us the wedding we envisioned and the night of our lives. From the second we entered the venue, us, our wedding party, and our parents were treated and attended to extremely well. Anything we needed, we received instantly. They worked with our vendors seamlessly and there was no stress with coordination the day of at all. Unfortunately, less than 48 hours before our wedding, the venue caught on fire. We thought our wedding would not be possible after this event. However, the amazing team at the Rockleigh worked around the clock with hundreds of workers to ensure our wedding would go on as planned. We had the night of our lives, mostly due to the amazing Rockleigh staff. Would recommend this venue 100%.
Our coordinator, Bari, was an amazing help from the day we first met her until the night of our wedding where she personally ensured we had the night of our dreams. The Rockleigh is a beautiful, one of a kind venue and we couldn’t be happier with the turnout.
The Rockleigh is a FANTASTIC venue and the staff was great from the get go. Our day went smooth and everything was handled in a professional manner. Highly recommend.
This has to be one of the best venues in the Tri-State area. The venue is beautiful and the food was outstanding. We had high expectations but they blew those away, we still have guests calling us talking about how amazing both the cocktail hour and the receptions was. The cocktail hour was so unbelievable that some of our guests thought that was the main hall to only be shocked their was another room.
The entire staff was attentive not only to us but to both of our parents and all of our guests. We had two guests who we wanted to have non-alcoholic beer served to them due to medical reasons and they personally served these guests the whole night.
Two special shout outs to Anthony and Jeff. Anthony did an unreal job at running the wedding and it led to an amazing experience. He was super attentive and made sure we had everything we needed at all times as well as ensuring the wedding stayed on track as far as timing. Jeff was amazing to work with and made sure everything we requested was taken care of. There can’t be a better crew than those two to run your wadding.
We also had an issue where our hotel shuttle service left us at the venue and Jeff and Anthony offered to drive us back to the hotel at 12:30 at night instead of heading home. It is easy for places to stop the service once the wedding is over but that is not the case with Jeff and Anthony. In the end I would give them a ten star review if possible, not enough characters allowed in this box to fully explain our experience.
There are no words to describe how thankful my husband, our families, and I are for The Rockleigh. When we came in to visit for the first time, they said that we are part of "The Rockleigh Family," and now that they day is finished, that statement could not be more true. We felt so special leading up to our day - between coordinating with Jeff and the extremely quick responses to the many questions I would ask him, to the preparation meetings, and more! We felt as if there were no other weddings they had to worry about this spring/summer except for ours. I felt that the time immediately before the wedding was ironically the least stressful all because we felt so confident in Jeff, the team, and their abilities - they truly had everything under control and thought of every intricate detail possible.
The wedding day was quite literally the best day of our lives. The atmosphere, the delicious and endless amount of food, the elegance, the service...it was all truly top notch. Our guests are still saying that it is one of the best, if not the best, wedding they have ever been to. Jeff, the maitre d', the bridal attendant, all of the servers, the bartenders/mixologists (I'm sure I'm missing someone) did not let us lift even a finger, and had such a kind and positive attitude. We felt a true connection with each member of the team as if we were family to them. We could not be more grateful for all they have done for us - words don't even do it justice!
Thank you, Rockleigh Team, for giving us an incredible day that we will remember forever. If you want a beautiful, elegant, quality, and professional venue, I highly recommend you visit The Rockleigh for your wedding. You will not regret it for a moment!
Attention to detail is SO important to me. The Rockleigh went above and beyond in every aspect for our reception. Ev3en before our wedding they had a user friendly platform that was very helpful for keeping track of RSVPs as well as a virtual assistant for seating chart. The food was fantastic and endless. The grounds were beautifully manicured with gorgeous fountain up-lighting perfect for pictures. The staff was amazing - professional, attentive and pleasant, not just for my husband and I but for our parents and bridal party as well. My bridal attendant Sandra stayed with me and waited on me hand and foot, anticipating things before I even knew I'd need them. Colon our Maître d' was on top of everything. Our guests have not stopped complimenting my husband and I about what a classy and top notch experience they had. The amazing staff even packed up all of our decorations at the end of the night and helped load them in our vehicle. Our flawless night would not have been possible without the planning and oversight of our event manager Jeff. Jeff was truly a joy to work with answering every question I had completely and patiently (and I had MANY questions). Jeff made sure that everything ran smoothly and helped us seamlessly transition our reception when we had to postpone everything a year. If you plan on having your wedding there, please invite me as I would LOVE to go back!!
The Rockleigh did the most amazing job with our wedding and over 2.5 year planning process! We initially met with Jeff in August 2019 and booked our wedding for late March 2020. Jeff and the entire team at Rockleigh were incredible and very easy to work with during the planning and re-planning process. We finally had the wedding of our dreams in March 2022 and the day was certainly worth the wait! Jeff, Susan, and the entire Rockleigh team made sure the day went smoothly and that it was everything we wanted. They are so accommodating and service is top notch. The venue is beautiful and the food is incredible. Our Maitre'd, Anthony, was amazing and made sure everyone was taken care of. Our bridal attendant, Daniela, was absolutely wonderful and by my side the entire day. As a bonus, they even invited us to be on a local news segment about COVID weddings, which was certainly a fun experience! We cannot thank Rockleigh enough for our dream wedding!!!!
It was a pleasure working with Eddie at the Rockleigh. Our daughter's wedding was amazing and every last detail was taken care of with efficiency and style. The bridal attendant was attentive and very helpful and our every need was met and exceeded. From the moment we signed the contract through the end of the wedding we were entirely satisfied and would recommend The Rockleigh without any reservations.
We will never be able to thank The Rockleigh enough for giving us the wedding of our dreams!
Zara & Stephanie went above and beyond to plan our day to perfection. From the moment we walked in to view the space, we knew this is where we had to have our wedding. Zara went above and beyond to make sure there was not a detail that went over looked. They worked with me day and night to ensure all of my expectations were being met and exceeded!
We had our wedding ceremony outside and then hosted our reception in the Grand Pavilion Ballroom. I cannot even begin to tell you how seamlessly this was put together. I had a bridal party of 7 who also got ready on site in the Blush & Brush Beauty Studio. From start to finish it was an amazing experience and all of my bridesmaids have said the same thing. Timing was absolutely perfect and our guests have raved about the food!!
Thank you again to Zara, Stephanie & the entire Rockleigh Team for making our day everything we could've hoped for. I have since recommended the Rockleigh to 5 of our friends who are getting married in 2023!
There will never be enough fantastic things to say about The Rockleigh! I worked with Zara and Stephanie for my May 2022 wedding and my husband and I are beyond happy with how our special day turned out. From the first time we toured The Rockleigh, to being the last ones out the door the night of our wedding, we were treated with the utmost respect, and were made to feel so special. Zara and Stephanie are true professionals and were great collaborators for the wedding when it came to menu selection, ambiance, you name it. The entire team were great communicators and I never had an issue for anything I reached out on. The venue, decor, food, everything was all spectacular! Without a doubt I would recommend the Viennese Dessert Table as a station if you want your guests to be amazed. We are still hearing from guests how perfect our day was and I can honestly say I would not change a thing! Zara and her team are the best of the best and I will forever be grateful for how she treated my husband and I, as well as our families and bridal party. Special shout out to Sandra who was one of our Bridal Attendants for the day and she was absolutely perfect. I never had to want anything and she made sure everyone in the bridal party stayed hydrated on a very hot day in May. To put it simply, if you want the best day of your life to be in the best hands, book with The Rockleigh. Thank you so so much to Zara, Stephanie, Sandra, and the entire team!!!
We cannot thank Jeff, Susan and the whole Rockleigh team enough for all of their help throughout the 2 year planning process. Our wedding day could not have been more perfect and our guests could not stop talking about our wedding. The Rockleigh is a stunning venue with incredible food and amazing service. Access to private suites to get ready, including breakfast and lunch provided, and a day of coordination team for the bridal party were just a few of the ways this venue goes above and beyond. This is a must see when planning your wedding!
We had our wedding at The Rockleigh on 5/14/22 and it was absolutely perfect. We had no doubt it was going to be anything but amazing. From the second we met with Jeff we knew this was the place we wanted to get married. He made us feel so comfortable and welcome. Jeff was amazing throughout the entire planning process. He gave me his phone number the second we officially booked our date and said to text him anytime. I took him up on that offer and texted him whenever I had a quick question and he would respond almost immediately every time. The day of our wedding he was there from early afternoon until the end of our reception. Jeff made us feel so comfortable and special the entire day. He hugged us and congratulated us a few times. He even pulled my parents aside during our first look so they could have a better view. Jeff was wonderful to work with!
I got to The Rockleigh around 9am to start getting ready with my girls. Our maitre d and bridal assistant met with me as soon as I arrived. We were served breakfast and lunch. My bridal assistant, Sandra, was so sweet, caring and so so helpful. She was by my side the entire day. She helped me into my dress, carried my veil and train everywhere and fixed it for the photographer, and helped straighten out my dress every time I stood up. She even steamed all of our dresses and had everything we needed in case of an emergency. Sandra was absolutely wonderful from start to finish.
Our reception was in the Bristol Room which is absolutely stunning. We had our ceremony inside because it rained that day and it was intimate and beautiful. Every single person I spoke to after our wedding raved about the cocktail hour. The food is delicious and they have so much variety that everyone could find something they enjoy. The service during cocktail hour and the reception was impeccable. Our glasses were not empty once. Our meals and desserts were also amazing. We chose the wedding sampler plate as our dessert and everyone loved it.
As for the grounds, there is not one spot at The Rockleigh I didn’t love. We had our first look outside by the waterfall and gazebo. We were able to take all of our pictures outside before it rained and they turned out stunning. The pool at night is gorgeous.
Overall, if you are thinking about having your wedding at The Rockleigh stop thinking and book it. You will not be disappointed. Every single person I dealt with there was so nice and helpful. I did not have to worry about one thing on my wedding day and it’s all because of the wonderful staff at The Rockleigh. The Rockleigh was our first choice and no other venue compared to it. Our day was literally perfect. We’re so sad it’s over but so happy our wedding day was everything we could have ever imagined it to be.
Thank you to everyone at The Rockleigh for making our day so special.
I cannot thank The Rockleigh staff enough. Throughout the day, I was at a loss for how amazing the place looked, how much fun the people were having, and how professional and attentive the Rockleigh staff was. People have been calling and texting to say how much fun they had, how gorgeous the venue/ all the details were, and how much fun they had all night. Myself, my family, and my in-laws are in awe of how perfect the entire day was, and that in large is thanks to your team. Specifically, Bari, Melanie, and Anthony were absolutely stellar! It was a true pleasure to work with all of them and appreciated their attentiveness and kindness throughout the entire process. They were both amazing the day of and leading up to the big day.
Simply put, I do not think there is another venue to match the caliber of the Rockleigh. Our wedding was everything I had hoped for and more and could not have been happier with it all! It was worth every penny and a memory we will cherish forever.
To say that that our daughter’s wedding at The Rockleigh was perfect in every way is an understatement! This was the most incredible night of our lives thanks to all of you. Michael Subarsky—you are best of the best, and we couldn’t have asked for a better person to hold our hands every step of the way with your vision and guidance. Jeffrey Spivak—we are the luckiest that you were running our event as we knew we were in great hands from Day One. You made every detail better, and your expertise enhanced every moment of the day. Chef Jimmy-- the food rivaled any Michelin Star restaurants and you made it all look so effortless. Jamie and Anthony took care of us and our guests with an ease and elegance that made us all feel so very important and special. Emily’s bridal attendants, Daniela and Jamie, helped our bride remain calm, collected, and well cared for. The incredibly beautiful Grand Pavilion and outdoor gardens and ceremony spaces were the most magnificent, The professionalism of your staff and team (including Susan, Natalie, Hugo et al) at every moment was unparalleled! Truly, Emily and Chris’ wedding at The Rockleigh was the best day ever for all of us. And how on earth did you manage to arrange the most spectacular weather for our special day? We cannot thank you enough for making this joyous process so seamless!
You are, by far, the best in the business, and we all thank you, from the very bottom of our hearts.
The Rockleigh was the very first location my fiance and I visited during our wedding venue search and we immediately fell in love. We figured we should explore other options before jumping the gun but with every other venue we visited afterwards, we just could not help but compare with the Rockleigh and knew we just had to book with them.
Jeff and Susan were absolutely AMAZING to work with from the very beginning. They kept us informed throughout the entire process and were always available to answer every question. We had to push up our original June wedding date to April because I became unexpectedly pregnant, but Jeff and Susan were so accommodating, responsive, and reassured us that everything would go smoothly (which it did).
Our wedding was this past Thursday and the day was the most perfect, magical day of our lives. Everything was set up beautifully and exceeded our expectations. We were blown away by the service and level of professionalism shown by the entire staff, and our guests could not stop raving about the food and desserts! I was so sure we would feel relieved once it was over, but we actually wish we could go back and relive every second of that day. We truly hope we get to go back to the Rockleigh next time as a guest so that we can enjoy the venue and all the amazing food again! Thank you to Jeff, Susan, and the entire Rockleigh family for this once in a lifetime experience that we will never forget!
Booking at the Rockleigh was a no brainer for us. The venue was beautiful and elegant (without being over the top), the service was impeccable, all of our guests raved about the food and desserts, and my maitre d' made my day incredibly seamless. I appreciated how much hand holding that Jeff (our key contact at the venue) provided throughout the process, especially as our wedding was in between COVID waves. Additionally, the planning websites/systems at Rockleigh was so easy to manage in the weeks leading up to the wedding, so I appreciated how the logistical nightmares that are usually associated with weddings did not play out for us!
The one thing my spouse said to me after the wedding is that he would love to go back to the Rockleigh as a guest to a wedding and experience it all over again as a guest!
Couldn't have asked for a better venue and staff to help us throughout the day. Bari and Melanie were amazing and answered every question we had leading up to our wedding. The day of the wedding, the staff were more than helpful and provided us with everything we needed to have the best day. So many of our guests were impressed by the venue itself, and everyone raved about the food. Seriously my dream venue and I can't imagine a better day anywhere else. Thank you!
My wedding was this past weekend and if I could The Rockleigh more than 5 stars, I would!! From my first meeting with Jeff, we knew this was where we wanted to get married. The venue itself is beautiful, but the staff made it perfect! Jeff truly was there every step of the way leading up to the wedding day. The reason for our flawless day is because of Jeff and The Rockleigh team. There is a reason it is called The Rockleigh Experience. Jeff was the most patient person, answering all our questions at all hours of the day. The day of the wedding he was making sure everything was going smoothly and all vendors arriving on time. We cannot thank Jeff enough for everything he did to make our day perfect! Next we want to thank Natalie and Susan. They are the backbone of the venue, making sure all questions are answered and updated the portal every time we had a change. Thank you both for working with us, including during the last week leading up to my wedding when we had to make so many changes to the seating chart. Next we want to thank our maître d, Jamie. Jamie, thank you, thank you, thank you for being our right hand man. You went above and beyond the entire night, making sure there was always a smile on our faces. You are very professional and I can’t thank you enough for everything you did for us and our family. I also want to thank you for getting Halvah and Jelly Rings the day before the wedding. Both families were very happy! You made sure the entire night was running effortlessly. Next we would like to thank the groom’s attendant, Skyler. Skyler, you are the man!! Our groomsmen cannot stop talking about you and how above and beyond you went for them. Some of the notable items include you setting up the TV so the guys can watch March Madness, going to get Nutella cake at a local bakery and you giving grandpa your suspenders. Thank you for everything!! Next came my bridal attendants, Jamie (blonde Jamie) and Sandra. Both of you were so patient with me and by my side the entire day. You were both always one step ahead of me. Thank you for fixing my bracelet and for doing my bustle that I was so worried of! I am so thankful that you both were with my mom and I the whole day and night and gave us an experience of a lifetime. I also would like to thank Blush and Brush Event Styling. Even though they are separate, their suites at The Rockleigh are absolutely beautiful. Maryanne, who owns Blush and Brush, went above and beyond for me the whole day. I had her, the makeup artist and hair stylist with me till my reception and it was the best thing I could have ever done! For everyone reading this, my recommendation would be to keep them all day to fix up hair and makeup. Lastly, the entire Rockleigh staff is truly the best in the business. Each staff member was kind, professional and the reason why our guests had the experience they did. The Rockleigh is such a beautiful venue inside and out! When my guests walked in they all say WOW!! This venue makes a statement with its elegance. There is no place like The Rockleigh! Thank you to Jeff, Jamie, Skyler, Jamie, Sandra, Maryanne and the rest of The Rockleigh team for producing the wedding of our dreams and showing us The Rockleigh Experience!
Now that we have finally come down from the high of our wedding, I am able to take the time to write the review that The Rockleigh deserves. If I could give them more than 5 stars, I would.
From the first meeting with Jeff, we knew this was where we had to have our wedding. Jeff truly held our hand through the entire process, pre, during and post wedding. I can say with full honesty, I don’t know how we could have done it without him. He was so patient with every question, and there were many! On the day of, he dealt with our vendors with ease, truly taking the stress off of us. It was raining all morning and Jeff knew how desperately we wanted to have our ceremony outside, so he worked with the florist to wait until the last possible moment to make the decision. If he didn’t do that, we wouldn’t have been able to have the beautiful ceremony outside that we ended up having. We’ll forever be grateful to Jeff for that.
Next came our maitre d’ Anthony. There are no words for this man. I felt like he was an extended family member from the second I met him. This man went above and beyond his role, to the point where he even let my dad borrow his tuxedo cummerbund to wear during the whole ceremony and reception!! Anthony kept everything on track the entire event. Every one of our guests commented on his professionalism and management skills. I believe whole heartedly that our special day would not have been the same without him.
Next came my bridal attendant, Daniela. She was so patient with me and was by my side the entire day. On top of that, she is one of the kindest people and was always one step ahead. I am so thankful that she was with me and my mom the whole time and gave us an experience of a lifetime.
Lastly, the entire Rockleigh staff is truly the best in the business. With my experience being an Event Manager myself in the past, I know the ins and outs of this business. The Rockleigh is in a category of their own. Each staff member was kind, professional and 100% a reason why our guests had the experience they did. Every single guest made a point to tell us that our wedding was the best wedding they had ever been to and that they had never experienced a venue like The Rockleigh.
I can’t write this review without touching on the beauty of The Rockleigh. Every part of the venue is beautiful, from the to die for bridal salon to the gorgeous ceremony spaces to the updated/classy reception halls (even the spotless, modern bathrooms!), there is not one area of this venue that went unnoticed. They are constantly upgrading the venue and there is a lot to say for that, as this is something you do not often find.
I can’t thank you all enough for making our dream wedding come to life! The combination of the stunning venue, beyond delicious array of food (& we’re Italian so we’re very judgmental when it comes to food) & the exceptional staff, you do not want to look any further than The Rockleigh! Thank you a million times over to Jeff, Anthony, Daniela and the rest of the incredible Rockleigh team for producing the wedding of (and beyond) our dreams!
