The Royal Manor

the second we left. The care and the amount of detail everyone puts into a wedding is truly wonderful. I cannot say enough wonderful things about The Royal Manor. People usually say that the cocktail hour food is the best food at a wedding. Well, at The Royal Manor, the cocktail hour food, the main course, the venetian hour were ALLLLL amazing. My guests are constantly calling and texting to say that this was the best wedding and food they have ever had. I am so sad that my day is over but any groom and bride who pick The Royal Manor to host their wedding will be more than pleased.

signed our contract the staff went above and beyond for us. They answered any little question I had, responded quickly to any correspondence. Then the wedding day arrived and it was even better than I could imagine. Doug, Peter & Magda are a dream team. Magda stayed by my side all night to ensure I had everything I needed. Doug & Peter executed our ballroom (and cocktail hour & Venetian hour) set up flawlessly. Everything from the food, to the liquor, to the lighting, to the decor was absolutely stunning and amazing! Our guests have not stopped raving about the impeccable service and gorgeous wedding we had! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!

he Grand Ballroom is to die for. My guests were greeted with champagne, smiles and amazing valet parking. The chef catered cocktail hour to our Haitian heritage, with Caribbean seasoning and even "banan pezé"! (Fried plantains, which is dish right from home!) Our bridal attendant Monica and maitre'd Peter worked seamlessly and tirelessly throughout the night to make sure WE were okay. Not their venue, not other vendors; US. Douglas Walker. A name we will never forget. The man who took this wedding and made it his priority. Even at the last minute before the reception, I emailed Douglas because I forgot my social media hashtag signs. He had them made and printed, without extra costs, and they were dispersed throughout the venue for my guests to see. Our wedding looked like it was written by Disney and was nothing short of royalty. Kudos to The Royal Manor. Absolutely amazing. With love, Le's Verpile

ld we'd have the bridal sweet at 3 pm. It was closer to 4 pm that we were able to go in the room (my wedding was at 6pm and we were doing hair, make up, etc. there) needless to say we had to rush everything. Secondly we were supposed to have an outdoor wedding. The 1st problem was the rain (dizzle). Maybe it's me but if people are shelling out thousands of dollars for a wedding there should be a better plan b then throwing us in an ugly little room upstairs (that was never shown to us when we toured.) I would have been happy to have a tarp over the awning to keep my guests dry.2nd we were guaranteed Tuesday that the waterfall would be clean and working for the wedding Saturday (it wasn't even cleaned, it was full of trash and dead leaves so there was no attempt to clean it am it was drained because it's not weathernized, so there was no attempt in keep that promise.) The upstairs room the crammed us into was disgusting and there was no room for the dj (had to stand next to my bridesmaids) I was so thankful my officiant had a short service to get us out of that embarrassment of a room as fast as possible. Thirdly, everytime I went to the bridal sweet, the door was wide open. We had mine and my bridesmaid's and my mother's purses and cell phones in there and the door was repeatedly left open were anyone could go in. I guess it would be fine for receptions but please have your wedding ceremony somewhere else. I paid for a waterfall, fire pits, and gazebo. I got a disgusting ugly room upstairs. I have literally cried everyday since my wedding because I felt as though we were robbed. In all honesty, I could never recommend this place for weddings since they ruined mine.

pay attention to detail. The food, oh the food was INCREDIBLE! The grounds are picturesque. I will ALWAYS recommend this place. Well done Royal Manor!!!!

and how beautiful the Royal Manor is! Peter was just amazing from helping us decide the menu down to the little details!! All I can simply say is THANK YOU Peter & The Royal Manor for making our Wedding Day so special!!! Bibi & Chris

did an amazing job. Everyone loved the service. Peter was great and on top of everything! The royal manor made this experience so easy. Every time I needed something they would contact me back in less then 24 hours. Everyone that i spoke to or met was so nice and helpful. I recommend them to anyone. I did not have to stress about anything because everything was perfect. From the moment we got there we were greeted and anything we needed we had in a matter of seconds. I wish I could do it all over again! Thank you royal manor!

are just as beautiful but 50% more price wise. Such a rip off). What really blew me away, though, was my actual wedding day. Any slight doubts or anxieties I may have had quickly washed away with The Royal Manor's outstanding service, food, and overall atmosphere. I am still getting compliments on how beautiful my wedding was. There was so much great tasting food, and any minute detail was taking care by their amazing and well trained staff. I would recommend this venue for any and everyone - who doesn't want an beautiful wedding whilst staying in budget?

ce the first day we met with them to inquire about their place. Our Maitre D Joanna and our bridal attendant were on top of everything. They couldn't be more helpful and friendly, they made sure we had food and drinks at all times, helped us with our shoes and gowns when we needed an extra hand. Our guests were raving how great the waiter staff attended to each table and kept them happy. We had a good feeling about this venue from day one and we were very pleased with everything! We would definitely recommend this venue to anyone looking for a great place with staff who gets it!!!

this venue! Douglas is literally the best- he's so professional and personable and does everything he can to make your special day exactly what you want and more. The food is amazing! Everyone talked about it all night.. the guests could not get over the cocktail hour and the unbelievable Viennese dessert hour! Douglas worked with us to customize our entire menu and made changes and substitutions for us to make our wedding day a one of a kind experience. The ice luge at the bar in the reception was a huge hit!! Everyone loved it and it kept the party going! There were so many staff members working our wedding and they were extremely attentive to all of our guests to make sure everyone had whatever they wanted. Joanna and our bridal attendant Sophie were awesome and made sure my husband and I were taken care of and were updated throughout the night. All of my personal decorations were displayed just how I asked them and they honored all of my requests! The Royal Manor is hands down one of the most beautiful venues and you CANNOT go wrong having your wedding here! They will deliver you the wedding of your dreams!!

d and we decided to look for a venue in New Jersey. This was the first place we both saw together and loved! We met with Douglas and he was just so personable, friendly, funny, and sweet, my whole family just loved him. He made us so comfortable even when we made our weird requests. You can tell he loves his job and truly will go out of his way to give you the best wedding day ever! He always calmed me down when I was stressed out. Our wedding was on August 1, 2015, the weather was perfect and even though we had about 430 people, The Royal Manor was so accommodating and beautiful, everything looked perfect. We heard so many good things about the servers about how nice and polite they were. Everyone couldn't stop raving about how good the food was, from the superb cocktail hour, the amazing main course, and the most delicious dessert, people are still telling us how great everything was. Douglas and Olga were attentive to my needs during the wedding day, my husband and I didn't get to eat, but Douglas had food packed for us to take home, which was so very thoughtful. I don't know how many times I called, e-mailed, and bugged the staff at The Royal Manor with details, questions, etc. prior to the wedding, but they were so sweet about everything and they all did a brilliant job! So glad I chose The Royal Manor! Thank you Royal Manor! You gave us the best Wedding Day ever! -Jency & Anish

have the reception somewhere in New Jersey but not too far away. The Royal Manor was one of the first places I started to research after finding it on The Knot and Wedding Wire. I had never heard of it before but the pictures and reviews had me intrigued. It was the first hall I visited. My fiancé was at work so I took my parents. We were all blown away by the place. From the moment we walked it we were taken back at how new, clean and gorgeous everything was. All of the staff and managers were extremely nice and helpful. I brought my fiancé and his parent back later in the week and he loved it too. The next week we booked! We booked the entire hall; we had to guarantee 225 which we were positive we would get. Throughout the wedding process the staff at The Royal Manor was extremely helpful. Anytime I wanted to come by and see the hall, show a bridesmaid or family member, they were happy to have me. The staff in the office always remembered me, which I found very nice. Right before the wedding Peter, Doug and Anna did a great job listening to all the specialty things we wanted to do and were excited to do them. We got married on 7/11 and we got 7-11 slurpee cups, I wanted to have alcoholic slurpees, they were on board and were a big hit at the Viennese hour. The day of the wedding was flawless. From the moment we arrived Peter and Magda (maitre’d and bridal attendant) were at our beck and call. They made the night go by so much smoother. The waiters and bartenders were quick; no one was ever waiting for a drink. The food displays at cocktail hour were phenomenal. The seafood trio from cocktail hour is still being talked about from my friends and family. The Viennese hour was over the top. Although everyone was completely full from cocktail hour and their meals, there is always room for dessert. My guests are still raving about the food and service from our wedding. I could not have picked a better place to have my wedding. I will be recommending this place to any future friends/ family members looking to have any party at a hall. I wish I could do it all over again! Thank you to everyone at The Royal Manor for making my wedding day perfect! Jenna & Vincent Giordano Married on July 11, 2015

f my guests were surprised of the amount and quality of the food. Everything was delicious. I really recommend to the other brides to check this place! You will get what you pay for and even more! -Milena & Lukasz

breathtaking both inside and out! Luxurious and Elegant and Impeccably Clean! We met with Doug to plan our BIG Day! He was so patient and hospitable! He helped us plan out every detail and then he made sure that the night went exactly as we had planned! Our guests were blown away by EVERYTHING about The Royal Manor! ESPECIALLY THE COCKTAIL HOUR! Nothing was spared and it was very reasonably priced! The food was incredible and fresh! Everyone was pleasant and they all worked to make our day a MEMORABLE ONE!!! I couldn't have asked for anything better! The whole experience was extremely enjoyable!! There is nothing that I would have changed! Thank you to The Royal Manor for helping to make our special day perfect!!!!! Domonique & Michael 10~12~14

handeliers, a few waterfall features, and breathtaking marble. We were thinking about getting married in the summer and the Royal Manor has a beautiful outside patio filled with a waterfall, gazebo and gorgeous landscape, which was exactly what we were looking for. They even have a park across the street where you can take pictures. When we met with Douglas, he was so professional, fun loving and warm hearted that we just completely fell in love with what the Royal Manor had to offer. The Royal Manor's service is outstanding. All of our questions and concerns were addressed with ease leading up to our wedding day. Our wedding day was needless to say perfect!! When we pulled up to the Royal Manor, we were immediately greeted by Douglas and the Bridal Attendant with smiles and excitement. The crew at the Royal Manor were on top of everything; making sure all of our needs were met and satisfied (e.g., supplying us with sufficient food and drinks throughout the night, assisting with the bride's dress). Our theme was modern elegance and our color scheme was black and white damask with different pinks. When we walked into our venue, our mouths dropped because of how beautiful our vision came to life. From the table décor, to the chair covers, to the ice sculptures, awesome lighting, and our beautiful centerpieces; our personality was truly in our ballroom. Our guests were completely wowed!! They are still talking about the phenomenal time they had, the exceptional food that they ate from cocktail hour (in which they could eat inside or on the outside patio), to entrees, to the Viennese Hour. They were completely in awe of everything. If you are looking for professional, modern, beautiful and elegant inside and out, then the Royal Manor is for you. We would sincerely like to thank the Royal Manor from the bottom of hearts for giving us the night of our dreams!! We are truly happy and blessed to have started our new lives together in one of the most beautiful venues that Northern New Jersey has to offer. Sincerely, Jennifer and Julian Castellanos 7~12~14

one at the Royal Manor was so helpful and nice. We worked with Doug most of the time, which he helped us plan all of the wedding and even helped me with things I was forgetting. He also answered all my questions I had right away. On our wedding day, we had Joanna as our maître d'. She was awesome! She was there from when I arrived and made sure my day went perfect, she helped me make my day beautiful and so much more! She was by my side the whole time, and made sure I did not need anything else. (We even got more then we even expected when we were up in the bridal suite, liquor and food wise ) Joanna and the rest of the staff went above and beyond. Everyone is still telling me how they loved the venue, how the staff was so helpful, and they can’t believe how beautiful the place was. People still think I spent a fortune on the venue because of how beautiful it is and how amazing the food is (especially cocktail hour). I would recommend The Royal Manor and the staff to anyone that asks, and will be planning future events here from now on!

ner and he found one and used it without us even having to ask. Our drinks were filled the entire night, they brought us food to the bridal suite to eat before we entered the cocktail hour, and they made sure everything ran smoothly. Doug worked with our other vendors (like the photographer) to make sure all the photographs were taken before she left. Our photographer left an hour and a half before the end of the reception and he made sure she got pictures of the cake tasting, even though it should have occurred after she left. I can not say enough wonderful things about the Royal Manor. We definitely go a bang for our buck, all of our guests were impressed and we have only heard everyone raving about our wedding!

we live in CT. Next off, recommended us to Magic Moments who did our video, photography & DJ, which also gets 5 stars! So I don't need to go to 3 different venues for this stuff, especially not living around the area anymore, this is def. convenient. Also, valet was included and our cake, which i thought was very convenient. Starting from cocktail hour, which amazed everyone and we even downgraded, to the end of the night exactly at midnight, everything was PERFECT! Jerry listened to everything that I wanted and needed. He made sure that there was food in our bridal suite by the time we got there and everything looked beautiful. They helped me have my fairytale wedding come true. I would give them 25 stars if I can! Please go to them, you won't regret it!

care of us all the way until the day of our wedding, then Joanna took over and she is just as good as he is. Not only did she make sure all my needs were met, but she took care of my bridal crew as well. I can't thank her and the Royal Manor staff enough. Our guests are still complimenting us on the food and decor. I love that the Manor is very 'modern'. There's so much you can do w/ this place! The one downfall is the chairs! I'm not a fan of chairs w/ seat covers, just not my style. I ended up renting my own chiavari chairs, which made my reception look amazing especially w/ the marble floors! Besides the look of the Royal Manor, their per plate price is very reasonable considering the amount and quality of food they have! To any bride and groom looking for a great place, look into the Royal Manor! You will not be disappointed! Again thank you to the Royal Manor staff! You guys are amazing!! Tanya & Emmanuel

went with the extra hour and Viennese dessert.. It was amazing! Overall, our wedding was amazing and we would like to thank the royal manor!

d they were so easy to work with. Once we walked into the Royal Manor, we knew it was the place we wanted to get married. You feel like you have walked into a fairytale castle. On our wedding day, everything was perfect. I didn't worry at all knowing that it was in capable hands. The food was out of this world. Everyone is still talking about how amazing the food and drinks were. You get greeted with champagne cocktails and then proceed to the most decadent cocktail hour I have ever seen. Dinner was amazing and the service was unbelievable! Our bridal attendant, Anna, made sure my husband and I felt comfortable and that every need was met. Doug went above and beyond on the wedding day and even helped out when we were having a problem with our transportation services with a different vendor. They were professional and so much fun to work with! I would recommend The Royal Manor to anyone looking for a wedding venue in NY/NJ. It truly was the best night of our lives in large part to the hard work of the Royal Manor staff. I already want to plan my 25th Wedding Anniversary there :) Thanks again to Doug and everyone there!! XOXO, Kara and Frank

scussing the price or even showing a quick tour of the rooms, I knew that this was the place for us on our BIG Day! Our first meeting with Doug was a SuCCess! He was “The” man to speak to! He had such an uplifting personality, friendly, and kind for someone who had to work on a Sunday…..I remembered! ;D. Hubby and I never hesitated to ask him any questions, that’s how down to earth he was. As we walked inside the cocktail room, boy was I amazed, shiny marble floors, modern atmosphere, which was a Huge PLUS for me. Everything was completely new. The Rooms were beautifully lit with built in lighting already and mirrors that added a special touch. When it came down to crunch time, I needed to cross my fingers based on pricing for whatever was suitable for our budget. As we discussed pricing we were astounded at the end. A beautiful place like this was within our budget!! IT was Ours without questions asked! Throughout this whole wedding process, The Royal Manor Crew made this planning experience a piece of cake. There were attentive to our needs, answered all my questions whether it was over the phone or through email, and they knew what we wanted before we asked. A simple saying such as “No Worries” put me at ease. Thank you Jerry for helping my husband and I at the end, being completely honest with us in terms of lighting, food, floor plans, table covers, etc……oh yes and Olga as well….;D Thank you Joanna for being the best Matre’D ever, you are highly respectful, full of energy, super friendly, very attentive to my needs as well as to my guests, especially on this Crazy Day! ;D Although it was indeed a fun-filled night and full of energy especially on the dance floor! Thank you for letting me know how many guests we had…. ;D.Thank you Cassia? Our personal assistant, I think that’s her name Petite, blonde girl. You were very helpful lifting my dress during picture time, fixing my complicated hair, and to top that providing me with champagne. ;D My husband and I were mesmerized by the amount of work the “ROYAL MANOR family” put into our Wedding day! The room was absolutely gorgeous that perfectly fit our little over 100+ guests. Our guests were completely satisfied during cocktail hour saying “We ate like pigs, or we didn’t even have to lift a finger to clip off the shell on those crab legs, “haha! That’s Filipino for ya! haha! Thank you all again for showing us how loyal you guys really are! You really treated us like “Royalty” and we will never forget how this whole magnificent experience was definitely a dream come true!! Your banquet hall says it all “The Royal Manor” An absolute perfect name! ;D Always, Cromwell and Christine Overall Rating: GAZILLIONZZZZ

ents from all that attended and the food from what I heard and the small amount I was able to sneak was amazing ! Would absolutely recommend this wonderful venue!

ything was perfect!! Thanks to the staff for all they did to help our fairy tale begin.

ial day at the Royal Manor. You will be as happy and excited as I was.

was perfect!!

ul . They helped us plan out our day perfectly. I had the wedding of my dreams (and I've been dreaming for a long time). My husband is a very difficult person to please when it comes to food quality and service. He absolutly loved every second of planning the wedding with The Royal Manor. Everything from the food to the service was amazing!!! I had a bridal attendant who followed me the entire night making sure if I needed anything I had it. From start to finish, anything we needed was taken care of. Before my ceremony they brought champagne and snacks to the bridal suite for my bridesmaids and myself. They brought my husband shots to his suite too! The cocktail hour was amazing! everything from the ice sculputres to the lamb chops were amazing! Dinner was delishious and dessert will be talked about for years to come! We really had an amazing night. All of our guests were telling us that our wedding was the best they've ever been too. I would reccomend The Royal Manor to any bride! Trust me, it's amazing!!!!

wouldn't be surprised if the next event my family has is at The Royal Manor. The selection of food at the cocktail hour was insane! My uncle said to me, "I have never seen a cocktail hour like that one before!" The attendants were by my side helping me with everything I needed. The outdoor area for pictures is breathtaking. My wedding was 2 weeks ago and we are still getting compliments on how beautiful the venue was and how everyone had a terrific time. Jerry and Doug, Thank you so much!

y catered to meeting out needs on our special day. I felt like a princess! The food was outstanding and the entire ambiance of The Royal Manor was awesome. The out door courtyard was beautiful. Everything we asked for, they accomplished. I could not have chosen for a better place to hold my reception! Great job Royal Manor!!

was special and went off without a hitch. They held true to their word and NEVER tried to nickle and dime us. I would recommend this hall to anyone looking for a dream event, they will tailor to your needs and make you feel like a queen. Thank you SOOOOOO much to the WHOLE Royal Manor Staff for making my wedding day even more special :)

eetest guy ever! I must have emailed him on a daily basis while planning the wedding, ive never done it before so i had a ton of questions, he always responded same day, he was sooooo helpful and never made me feel i was being annoying haha! As he showed us around, it just kept getting better and better, they have led uplighting built in the whole place, in a zillion colors, this saves on dj uplighting which is a fortune! The bridal suite is gorgeous, ballroom is gorgeous, cocktail is gorgeous, and even the bathrooms are to die for! Needless to say, we booked that day! We went in for sample dinner where they set up a lil romantic room and served us dinner, the food was amazing, and weve been to alot of venues and restaurants, and were picky when it comes to food. It was all too good to be true, awesome part is its all true!!!! We had our rehersal dinner there as well, it was amazing, we met the staff and bridal attendants, all were amazing! Such a team these guys and girls are! Food was amazing as expected, and when doug brought up to go containers, everyone grabbed one and filled them up for leftovers! Those trays were empty! The day of, words cannot describe how happy we were! Everything went smooth from start to finish! Food was perfect, cocktail hour was bigger than any cocktail hour weve ever seen, all the rooms were set up exactly how we wanted, it was Our dream come true. My vision came alive! The staff were all so helpful, friendly, and professional, the bartenders were hillarious, the bridal attendant was sooooo helpful and the sweetest girl ever she was right there any time i had a question, grabbing family for pics, filling our drinks, anything you can think of she was right there. Wait staff was also great, always smiling and friendly, they are all the perfect team! There is not one part of the day that was less than outstanding! I want to throw another party so we can go back! Our phones have been ringing all day with friends and family aving about the whole night! Everyone was in awe over cocktail hour and dinner, they were impressed about how beautiful the venue is (it was a first for the majority) and saying our wedding was the best wedding theve been to yet! Everyone had so much fun we extended the evening a little later! Dougs staff was happy to stay and the great service kept on comming. I cannot say it enough, if your a new bride, book here, you will thank me later, from the time we walked in to see the venue to the time we walked out as mr and mrs we were wowed! You must go see it for yourself, pictures do not do this place justice! Speaking of pictures there are a ton of photo ops, the outside is newly finished with gazebos, fountains rock walls, all lit up with leds at night, grand staircases, wall fountains in lobby, ginourmous crystal chandeliers, and thats just a few! Thank you Doug and team for making our day absolutely perfect!

u how wonderful it really was. Doug was there with us every step of the way and really made sure everything was perfect. I would def recommend the viennese table for the perfect ending if you still have room for dessert after all the food in the cocktail hour and during dinner. I looked here first and fell in love with the design of the place and just the overall feeling i got when i walked in.

ll that happened. Thank you Royal Manor for making it one fabulous wedding!
