Where We Make Your Dreams Come True
AWARD WINNER (8X)
Thanks to recommendations from couples on The Knot
Located in North Haledon, NJ, The Tides Estate is an elegant wedding venue with a sprawling seven acres of lush green gardens. Specializing in luxury white-glove banquet weddings, the estate is historically renowned for delicious catering. Initially a bootleg whiskey distillery, the grounds were purchased by German immigrant George Werner. Eventually, George rebranded the property into a picnic grove which his son later built upon, opening an on-site restaurant. After several changes of hands, The Tides Estate remains New Jersey’s best-kept secret for gourmet specialty foods.
Upon arriving at the great house, guests step inside a world of opulence and refined furnishings. Magnificent chandeliers adorn the decorative ceilings and light cascades from the towering floor-to-ceiling windows. Ceremonies and receptions can take place in several event spaces on the property, such as the gardens, the lobby, and two lavish ballrooms. The ballrooms feature stunning parquet floors ideal for a romantic first dance. These spacious halls can accommodate a variety of seating styles and floor plans, allowing for total customization. Every corner of the estate is perfectly maintained and will infuse photos with unforgettable beauty.
The Tides Estate offers all-inclusive wedding packages complete with delicious catering and bar services. Beginning with private tours, couples can meet with a professional banquet manager to discuss the menu and their vision for the big day. On the day, you and your guests will be greeted by uniformed valets and a glass of Champagne, setting the tone for the rest of the special occasion. Dining styles include butler-style hors d'oeuvres, buffets, and seated, served by highly skilled white-glove staff. Additional luxuries include a signature hand-carved ice sculpture, in-house designed invitations, and cuisines such as sushi stations and lobster stations.

My husband and I originally booked our wedding at The Manor in West Orange and then with a year to our wedding we were told the venue would be shutting down!!!
The Tides Estate was a LIFE SAVER and honestly everything happens for a reason, because we were so beyond happy with our experience at the tides, they gave us so much more than we would have gotten. Michael took care of us, everything we wanted we got, and for the right price too! Thank god! Throughout the entire day, I did not have to question or worry about one thing. Everything was taken care of, our Maitre D was present, supportive and on top of everything, anything that "went wrong" was fixed and taken care of before I even heard about it! The food was AMAZING, we were a little nervous because we were not offered a tasting, but they did not disappoint. The cocktail hour was plentiful, and the dinners were phenomenal. We had 195 guests, so it was a big crowd! But everyone was accommodated for quickly and happily 🙂 In a way the tides was our "second choice" but it was truly the best choice, we are so so happy we ended up going with them everything went so smoothly we could not have been happier!

We had the most incredible experience at The Tides Estate for our wedding! From start to finish, everything exceeded our expectations. Every meeting with Tito was effortless, he did not miss a beat. The venue itself was stunning—perfectly maintained, with a beautiful space for our reception. Every detail was taken care of, and the staff was attentive and professional throughout the entire event.
A special shout-out to Mike, the maître d’. He was beyond amazing! Mike went above and beyond to ensure that everything ran smoothly. His expertise and calming presence made the day stress-free, and his attention to detail was unmatched. He truly made our wedding day unforgettable.
We couldn't have asked for a better venue or team. Highly recommend The Tides Estate to any couple looking for a top-notch wedding experience!

Our family can not stop talking about how great the staff was and how beautiful the venue was! Thank you!

Having my wedding reception at the Tides was an incredible experience. The staff is amazing, our Maitre D' was phenomenal and assisted me as the bride through the evening and helped everything move smoothly. The food was great, the pictures amazing, and there was plenty of room for all our guests! Would highly recommend, great value. Mike was also so helpful, communicating via phone and email to ensure we had all the details figured out. This venue is worth the cost!

We recently hosted our son and daughter-in-law’s post-wedding reception at the Tides Estate, and we couldn’t have been more pleased. The venue was stunning, and the food and drinks were exceptional, impressing all our guests. The service was top-notch, with Michael, the event manager, and Mike, the maître d’, ensuring everything ran smoothly from start to finish. Their attention to detail and professionalism made the event seamless. We highly recommend Tides Estate for any special occasion!

Amazing amazing Venue. Absolutely stunning. The food was amazing, the maitre d (whose name is escaping me right now) was the most on top of it person I’ve ever met. I always had a fresh drink in my hand and did not have to worry about a thing. He directed my bridal party and helped get everyone where they needed to be. He was always within reach if we needed anything and made the night go so so smoothly. Michael, the banquet manager was amazing, he answered any and all questions I had throughout the planning process. We paid a bit extra to get there at 6:30am which included a beautiful breakfast spread of bagels and pastries. Anything we needed we had someone to chat with and the entire staff made the night go perfectly.

My husband and I had the wedding we had always dreamed of thanks to The Tides Estate. Tito was our banquet manager and he was always friendly, responsive, and accommodating. He walked us through everything and put us at ease. The day of the wedding, Mike, our maître de, made sure that everything was perfect, down to the last detail. Our guests were in awe of how beautiful the venue was and everyone was raving about the delicious food. We had 275 people at our wedding and the space held everyone comfortably. There was more than enough room for everyone to dance and move around. One of my favorite parts of the venue, besides the stunning banquet room, is that the cocktail hour room had enough seating for everyone to sit to and enjoy their food. We got incredibly lucky that the weather was beautiful and our guests got to enjoy the beautifully maintained grounds. We can't thank the team at The Tides Estate enough for making our wedding day go so smoothly and everything that we hoped it would be and more!!!

Our wedding last night was perfect from start to finish. The maitre d' Mike was phenomenal. The venue is the most beautiful in every way and the price is right. We could not have an outdoor ceremony due to rain, but the indoor space was all set for us.
The food was great and the staff was very professional

Never in a million years would I have expected to get married in such a beautiful and elegant place. From the moment my husband and I walked into the venue we knew we wanted to be married here! When we met with Mike he answered every question we had and was so patient with us. He explained each step and in the time we had between booking and the actual wedding day Michael was always available to calm my nerves! They worked extremely well with all the vendors specially our day of coordinator. Our decorations were displayed so well and were packed back up with care. My husband and I never wanted for anything during the day and the maitre’d we had (also another Michael) was always handing us water, drinks, or food. It was like magic haha. All of our guests commented how much food there was and no one left hungry (the food was amazing!)…they also raved about the drinks and the bar staff (apparently the espresso martinis are totally worth it!). In the morning when I was getting ready with my girls I also felt so cared for…plenty of snacks and drinks to sustain us. We are so happy with the choice of having our wedding here and are grateful for their hospitality and generosity. Thank you Mike Stroganoff and team!

The Tides Estate was the perfect venue for our wedding. From their stunning grounds to their breath taking ballroom, everything is absolutely beautiful. We cannot say enough good things about our experience here. We worked with Tito from the very first time we viewed the venue and we instantly knew this was where we wanted to celebrate our love. The entire staff was so friendly and professional. Any question we may have had Tito was there to answer in a timely manner. Alberto was our maitre d for the day and was absolutely AMAZING. Our decor was set up beautifully and exactly how we asked and he always made sure we had everything we needed. For the entrees, he gave us a sample of all the choices we had picked. Let me just say, delicious is not even the word to describe the abundance of food we had! Everyone raved about how delicious the food from cocktail hour and entrees were. We were so impressed how the food was displayed during cocktail hour and how they continued to replenish any dishes that were almost empty. The choices were endless! We could not have dreamt of a better venue to have our wedding. You will not be disappointed when you choose The Tides!

Tito helped us with all our planning and made a stressful day smooth sailing. He answered all our questions before we were able to ask them. He was very professional but yet the kindest and friendliest man to work with. I can't thank him or say enough good things about him. He is simply great. He assigned Steve as our maître d. We are so thankful to have Steve on our side. Steve made us feel like a King and Queen. Every detail was covered by Steve. Things that we would have never thought of were covered by Steve. Steve made sure our guests were as happy as we were.
Again, both made our wedding the most happiest day of our lives and very stress free. Our guests told us that this was the best wedding they have ever attended. Yes our guests said best wedding they have ever attended. Two of our guests just attended a wedding the week before at a different venue and said ours was great and the other one was no comparison even though the couple were financially better off than we are.
The Tides as you can see when you visit, is a beautiful estate with multitudes of delicious food choices. But these alone don't make a great wedding. Tito, Steve and his staff made our wedding great. Theresa and I thank you from the bottom of our hearts. God bless you both!

The Tides Estate was incredible! We booked them for out wedding on Thursday May 26th 2022.
First off, the venue was gorgeous and so beautifully designed. Michael Stroganoff was our banquet manager and he was so great at answering all of our questions and making sure our every request were applied. The food was amazing and we had so many options to choose from.
The price was very reasonable considering everything we had included! It included the cake, the ice sculpture, cocktail hour, plus the open bar was top notch. Its also conveniently located in the beautiful area of North Jersey so you and your guests will get that immediate feeling of elegance the second you arrive at the well kept estate.
If you are looking for a wedding venue that will take care of everything then look no further because the Tides Estate has everything you need.

Our Wedding Reception at the Tides Estate could not have gone better. From the beginning, we had an extremely professional and productive relationship with Mike Stroganoff.
He was extremely straight forward and certainly has a tremendous amount of experience with these events. His attention to detail is unbelievable and he deserves more plaudits than we can give. It certainly put our minds at ease. The timeline of planning provided by him was very appropriate and allowed us to hash out the details we wanted.
The event was executed so well. The guests were simply in awe of the venue and the event. The feedback was simply tremendous and we could not have asked for more. The Maitre'D (Alberto) was extremely attentive to sequence of events and even made sure that we had something to eat in the midst of the event. It was truly a pleasure to work with Mike Stroganoff from the beginning to the end.
We enthusiastically recommend the Tides Estate to anyone looking for an amazing venue to host their important life events.

We came to The Tides after having to postpone our wedding with another venue due to the pandemic. We met Tito during our first initial visit and it was as all the stars aligned, like we were meant to postpone our wedding at the other venue because The Tides was our dream come true. We completely fell in love with the venue and made a decision to move forward right then and there. Tito and his team were so accommodating with us and really executed our vision of our wedding day. Our Maitre D’ Albert was AMAZING! He was so attentive and flexible and made us feel comfortable the entire time. All of our guests left super impressed with our venue and haven’t been able to stop talking about our wedding. Thank you to everyone at The Tides who help make our dreams come true!

The cocktail hour is beyond amazing, the outdoor spaces and ballrooms are beautiful and they really ensure you are taken care of throughout the whole process! Tito was great to work with, always answered our questions and eased concerns.

The Tides is one of the most beautiful venues around. From the second I turned into the drive for the Tides and saw the cobblestone road I was hooked. The venue inside is absolutely gorgeous and the chandelier in the main lobby is stunning. The main ballroom has beautiful high ceilings which bring so much volume to the room! After our initial tour, I was ready to sign. When we first booked the Tides we were working with Tom. He was very kind and definitely helped us ensure everything we wanted for our big day. When we had to postpone it in 2020, Tom left and we started to work with Michael. Michael is wonderful to work with as well. He cares and is willing to answer any question that is thrown his way. He is willing to meet at any time and he accommodates the bride and groom's needs. When our day at the Tides finally arrived we were greeted by Michael and Michael the maitre'd as we got off the limo. We were welcomed into the Tides and they were genuinely so happy we finally got our day at the venue. Michael, the maitre’d was phenomenal. Anything we asked he did for us. He would bring us drinks, water, food for us without even asking. He helped me package all the stuff up at the end of the night and store it for an easy pick up the next day. He was such a wonderful person to work with. The Tides was such an amazing venue and I really hope someone I know gets married there so I can go back as a guest because the food was amazing, the venue was gorgeous, and it was truly the best day of our lives.

I can’t even begin to describe how much I loved having my wedding at the Tides! Tito was a 10/10 to work with! He gave us an amazing price and was willing to work with us with all this COVID crazyness! He was super attentive to email and answered all my 100000 questions. Mike was our Maître D and he was also a 10/10. He knows what he is doing and he was there for all of our needs the day of the wedding. His service was impeccable! He is a bit intense but I think it’s just the nature of the job and the fact that he is ensuring your event goes without a glitch. But super nice guy and made us feel super special!
The Venue is BEAUTIFUL!!! The outdoor ceremony space is amazing and the ballroom is to die for!!! The food is fantastic as well!
I can’t wait to be invited to a wedding there so I can experience it as a guest! Haha. I already miss going there!
In summary…. Have your wedding at the Tides.

We are so happy we were able to have our wedding at The Tides in November 2020. Our wedding was originally scheduled for April 2020, and we had to move our date a few times due to COVID. The staff was a delight to work with throughout the entire process. They were very accommodating, and we were finally able to have our wedding in November with a smaller guest count as required by the state. They took all precautions cleaning the venue, staff wearing masks and gloves, plastic shields for the bars and food displays, hand sanitizer stations, etc. Our wedding was in The Manchester room downstairs, and it was absolutely beautiful. We had our ceremony and reception at The Tides, and I also got ready in the bridal suite with my bridal party. Having everything in one place like The Tides provided made the day so much less stressful since we did not need to worry about transportation. Our guests are STILL raving about the food! I am a bit of a foodie, and sometimes you never know what you are going to get with large quantities of wedding food. The cocktail hour was over the top with so much tasty food, and the dinner was even better! I was also pleasantly surprised by how moist and delicious the cake was that was provided by David’s next door. A special thank you to Michael our banquet manager, Tito, and Dianne for making our wedding unforgettable!

We cannot say enough about the quality of service we received from The Tides. Like many couples, we were forced to postpone due to the pandemic. Michael Stronganoff, our event manager, and The Tides team worked with us and made the transition to an outdoor wedding seamless. The food was outstanding, the venue was gorgeous, and every amenity you could possible want was readily available for us. We will continue to recommend The Tides and Michael as a fabulous place to have a wedding. Thank you for making our day so incredibly special!

To say wedding planning during Covid has been stressful would be an understatement but I am so grateful my fiancé and I chose The Tides Estate to have our ceremony and reception at. Tito, the banquet manager has been so incredibly pleasant to work with and truly took so much weight and pressure off our shoulders during this difficult time. He was very accommodating and we were able to reach him at any given time whenever we had questions or concerns(which I had plenty of!) The venue itself is very beautiful and elegant with a gorgeous garden in the back where our ceremony took place. Due to covid we had a significantly reduced guest count and our reception ended up being set up outside of the cocktail hour room. We had our worries how it would all pan out and look but I have to say everything was beautiful, organized, and felt like a lovely intimate dinner celebration with our loved ones. Thank you to Tito, Michael, Our maitre D Alberto, Diane, and the rest of the Tides staff for your hard work and making our special day even more special!

I am a bride that had to postpone my wedding due to COVID-19. Throughout the entire process Tito at the Tides has been nothing but amazing. He has made the postponing process easy and smooth and has reassured us that he is going to work with us on the minimum because it may be difficult to gather 200 people (200 is their minimum) during this time. Not only is this venue beautiful and gives you that WOW factor, the people there make this amazing time even better.
Having the Tides Estate being so understanding and flexible during a time like this is just refreshing and a huge relief.

The tides motto is “Making your dreams come true” & I can’t truly say that this is not an understatement. Had our wedding yesterday and everything was perfect!! Tito helped us throughout the entire process of planning and on the day, our maître d, Steve was the best. He made sure everything was going well and that my husband and I were well fed and well taken care of! They really care about their clients. I couldn’t have imagined a more perfect wedding day. Great staff, great food, great drinks, beautiful venue. Got lots of compliments saying the venue looked like it came out of a movie. Also not to mention that they made sure that all of my favors and extras were set up. Not one single detail was forgotten or left out. I would pick the tides all over again if I had to!

From the moment we saw the Tides we knew this was the venue for us. The Grand Ballroom is absolutely gorgeous. We really wanted a venue with that "wow" factor. We had so many of our guests say how stunned they were by how beautiful and grand it was. We worked with Tom and he always answered my questions promptly. Our maitre d Mike was phenomenal. Everything was set up perfectly and he anticipated our needs the whole night! Our guests raved about the food, particularly at cocktail hour. They are still talking about how amazing it was! My BIL works in hospitality and is a chef, and he said the food and the service was top notch. I really cannot say enough good things about The Tides - it truly was a fairytale

After searching high and low through the North Jersey area we pulled into the Tides and immediately sensed it was a unique venue. The Tides is a fascinating operation as they do the awesome, unexpected stuff well (e.g., Ice Sculptures, Extravagant Desert Rooms, Top-Shelf Bar/Service) but also get the little, very important things right. There's ample parking, valet service, incredible Maitre'd service, Wedding Coordinator support (thanks Tom!) and more. Both our guests and vendors found the Tides an absolute pleasure. The way the Wedding Coordinator, Maitre'd and staff collaborated with our vendors was nothing short of spectacular. I would strongly recommend the Tides to friends/family. Thanks to Tom, Mike and the Tides family for making our event one to cherish and remember for years to come.

I had my wedding here in September 2, 2018. I fell in love with this place as soon as I walked in. After seeing so many other venue’s and comparing, there was something about The Tides that felt right. The staff was so welcoming and nice specially Tom he was the best and really took care of us. Place is beautiful along with the landscaping outside, which was amazing for photos. It’s very nice away from the main highways it’s on a quiet road which is why I also liked it so much. But most of all the food... was delicious. Definitely would recommend this place for a wedding or any kind of big event anyone has.

My husband and I got married here in November. I can not express how amazing this place is. We worked with Tito getting everything planned he was so accommodating and the day of the event everything went perfect. If you do get married here you have to have Mike as your maitre d . He was amazing and does an outstanding job. He knows everything from getting napkins down on my dress every time I ate something with color , he had my cocktail hour all set up upstairs as well where he was so smart to have my husband and I sneak away for few minutes just to enjoy by ourselves it was our moment to soak everything in before the party! Mike was just amazing and was a huge part of making our night perfect. The food was outstanding everything was perfect! The tides is beautiful and provided amazing service! I would recommend everyone to check it out as an option to get married !!!!

The Tides is a beautiful place to get married. We would recommend this place to anyone. The grounds are beautiful (we got married outside) and Tom (our sales rep) was patient, attentive and worked with us in every aspect. He ensured we were happy and that everything went smooth. We did have a couple extremely small hiccups with our maitre'de (not Tom) the day of the wedding. However, everything got fixed and everyone had an amazing time. Weeks later we are still getting compliments on the beautiful venue, great tasting food and beautiful ceremony. We had a guest tell us that he is very picky when it comes to wedding venues and that The Tides would fall under is top 5 venues. We absolutely agree with The Tides being towards the top of the list and Tom would be up high on our list as well. We would recommend this venue to anyone who is getting married.

When my husband and I walked into the Tides Estate, we knew it was the one. We chose it almost 2 years before we got married and worked with Tito to create the most magical day possible. Our guests were blown away by everything that Tides provided. They greeted our guests with champagne, offered endless food at cocktail hour (our guests actually thought it was dinner), had an incredible dinner, and dessert was OUT OF THIS WORLD! Not to mention, they made sure we were happy with everything way before hand. Professional, personable, and memorable are the 3 words I believe are best to describe The Tides and their entire staff. The grand ballroom is like that of a fairytale and I don't think there's a better venue in the world to have created this vision the way they did. If I said thank you for the rest of my life, I still don't think that would be enough because of how incredible they were!

The Tides Estate has beautiful grounds and the cocktail hour had so much food!! Our guests were very happy especially with the cocktail hour and dessert bar! We wished they kept the dessert bar food out longer and served the cake! All that cake went to waste and we should’ve asked to take it home or put it in to go boxes for our guests! We also had a terrific Maitre D, Mike! Very attentive to our needs and he was able to deliver on everything! I wish I had more time to eat, feast on the chocolate fountain and desserts! Overall we had a great experience just a few small details that could’ve been better like placement of our guestbook, serving cake, replenishing our to go stations more often etc. Tom was very flexible in helping us with any requests.

We also had a terrific Maitre D, Mike! Very attentive to our needs and he was able to deliver on everything! I wish I had more time to eat, feast on the chocolate fountain and desserts! Overall we had a great experience just a few small details that could’ve been better like placement of our guestbook, serving cake, replenishing our to go stations more often etc. Tom was very flexible in helping us with any requests.

I fell in love with the Tides the very first time I walked through the door! Tom is absolutely amazing! He was so patient, attentive, and caring towards us. It was truly an honor to get married at such a beautiful venue with an awesome staff! Mike stayed with us the entire day, he made sure we ate (because the day can be hectic) and had everything we needed during the wedding! Our wedding was held in the ballroom and it was truly elegant! The venue is so beautifully manicured, the chanidilars are gorgeous, and the gold trim inside the ballroom is the icing on the cake! We had the most perfect wedding at the Tides and I will forever be grateful for the memories!

My husband and I cannot say enough about how amazing the Tides Estate was for our wedding venue. If we could give more stars we would. The whole process in planning our wedding the Tides was there throughout it all making sure we were comfortable felt great with our details. Our maitre de Steve was absolutely outstanding. He ran the show and made sure we were were taken care of and ate the delicious food for each course and had drinks always. Even our parents were taken care of as well! The gardens and our ceremony at the Tides was so gorgeous, We are still getting compliments on it! Every thought in our minds was perfectly executed by the Tides! The food at the Tides was absolutely amazing and he cocktail hour is the best cocktail hour we’ve ever been too. Everything ran so smoothly and the whole night came together beautifully! Tito and everyone at the Tides, thank you for my dream wedding and for being apart of our special day!

I can't thank Tom(event manager) and Mike(maitre'd) enough for making the wedding of our dreams come true! It's been 40 days and people are still telling me how our wedding was the best they've ever attended. The food was excellence (loved the salmon) and they have such a wide variety to choose from. Very professional, helpful and well coordinated. Everything is adaptable to fit your dream wedding. Mike catered to our every need, especially food and drinks. While we were wrapped up in entertaining everyone, he made sure we had something in our system. Not to mention Diane at the front desk! Very welcoming and accommodated our last minute schedules haha. THANK YOU ALL!

My husband and I had our wedding at the Tides Estates. The wait staff and bartenders were amazing. The manager was horrible! From the time we sat down at the beginning of the reception you can smell something burning from a certain area. It was complained about on 4 different occasions throughout the reception until there was an electrical fire. I lost an hour of my wedding! I understand that these things can happen. What I don’t understand is how the manager dealt with it. He ran over with a fire extinguisher(which he didnt know how to use) and put it out. Fine. He didn’t eveacuate the building. I ran around in my wedding dress telling everyone to get out. There was a fire! Behind a wall! He then proceeded to tell everyone to come back inside to continue the reception! He was willing to put everyone’s life at risk. No one knows what’s going on behind that wall! It could go up in flames again! After 15 mins of waiting for the fire department to come I found out no one called the fire department (they called an electrician), so I called them. They got there and asked why it wasn’t evacuated! To make things worse there was a wedding going on downstairs that probably had no idea what was going on. I lost an hour of my wedding reception and they did nothing to compensate me! They are all about business and money and as long as they get that they don’t care about the people they are serving. I’m happy no one was hurt and it could have been a lot worse but I would not use them!

My husband and I just had our wedding at The Tides Estate on Friday, April 27, 2018. From the day we booked our event with Tito until the last guest left, it was perfection. The food was not only plentiful, but absolutely delicious. The service was absolutely impeccable and the ballroom is stunning. While waiting for the reception to begin, we enjoyed our cocktail hour in the bridal suite upstairs complete with a fully-stocked bar. Our entire bridal party was blown away. Our maitre'd, Mike, was absolutely incredible. He made sure we were well fed and comfortable all night. Our glasses were never empty and our plates we always full. He escorted us through the cocktail hour, reception, and Viennese Hour before the began so we could just take everything in. As cliche as it sounds, I have imagined my wedding day since I was a little girl. Thanks to Tito, Mike, and everyone at The Tides Estate, my expectations were not only met, but blown away. Thank you to everyone for helping to make our day absolutely PERFECT.

My daughter got married at the Tides in December 2017. I cannot say enough good things about this place. The first time we walked into this venue we knew that this was it. We saw many other places after visiting Tides but the beauty and simplicity of this place stayed with us. The entire place is understated elegance. The thing that truly impressed us was the seamless flow from entrance to cocktail area to main banquet hall. We had close to 320 guests and the place didn't feel crowded at anytime. The cocktail area spans over three separate areas, one is outdoor but covered with space heaters so very much usable even in cold weather. The main banquet hall wows with its 30 foot ceiling, beautiful hardwood floors and the winding staircase. We had Mike as the Maitre'D and he was truly amazing. Helping every step of the way and always available. Tom was our catering manager and he was also very helpful, just not very responsive over email but nevertheless got back to us every single time we had a question. Our catering was done by an outside caterer so cannot comment on their food, everything else was impeccable. A truly five star experience.

Where do I start! We started our wedding journey with a lot of due diligence..we visited over a dozen wedding venues in northern New Jersey and New York. The Tides Estate was hands down the best of the best and we were so happy with our wedding this past December. We worked with Tom at the Tides and he was absolutely terrific. Tom is exceptional and really makes the job seem easy. He is always friendly, very knowledgeable and you know you can count on him and the staff at the Tides to make sure your day runs seamlessly from the first meeting to the very end of your wedding. The grand ballroom is absolutely stunning. The food is delicious and most of our guests raved that it was the best cocktail hour and reception that they’ve been to. Our Maitre D Mike was with us every step of the way and made our day absolutely spectacular. We didn’t have to worry about a thing. I can’t thank Tom, Mike and the rest of the staff at the Tides enough. We recommend the Tides Estate one thousand percent! You will not be disappointed.

After the Brownstone had taken our money and stopped returning our calls, my husband and I were referred to The Tides Estate by a friend who had worked with this venue earlier this year. Once we met Tom and his staff, we never looked back! Last month (on October 14th) we had both our wedding ceremony and reception at the Tides Estate! While Tom had been wonderful to work with throughout the wedding planning process, on the day of our wedding, Mike, our Maitre'd was an angel sent from above! He took care of EVERYTHING! His level of energy, his keen attention to detail, and his commitment to excellence made our day one of the most memorable occasions we have shared thus far! We highly recommend this venue for any type of event, especially if you are looking for a place that is willing to work with you. Thank you Tom and Mike!

I really don't even know where to begin with praising The Tides Estate ... we got married there in September 2017 and it was absolutely magical!
My husband and I looked at 9 different venues after we got engaged, and when we walked into the Tides, our jaws actually dropped. The Ballroom, Cocktail Room and Grounds are incredibly impressive. The Ballroom is GORGEOUS and really unlike anything else I've seen, with high ceilings, floor to ceiling windows and a HUGE dance floor - which was a BIG selling point for us. The Cocktail Room is so spacious with plenty of seating and tables, and the Grounds were the perfect place to hold a reception and take photos. We recently got our pictures back, and the The Tides' Grounds served as a beautiful backdrop. Our guests RAVED about the venue and really felt that it was breathtaking.
It was such a pleasure working with Tito throughout our whole wedding planning process. He is incredibly personable, and always got back to us with any questions or requests we had - we are going to miss him!! Mike was our Matire'D for the day/night, and waited on us and our families hand and foot - he really helped make the day seamless! In addition, the whole Tides staff were absolute professionals. We brought in A LOT of decorations and inventory, and everything was set-up perfectly!
Last but definitely not least ... THE FOOD!! Not only is the Cocktail Hour Spread massive (and delicious), but we had many guests come up to us afterwards telling us that it was the best food they've ever had at a wedding. We really enjoyed the Tasting process leading up to the wedding as well.
We got married on a Friday night, and it was in the same price range or LESS compared to other venue contenders we looked at. We really feel that we stumbled upon a pot of gold by choosing the Tides as our venue. It is a beautiful place, and we truly had the wedding of our dreams.

I just booked my wedding at The Tides Estate and I could not be more pleased. My wedding is in 2019 so I have a lot of time however I am a huge fan of reviews so thought I would share my experience thus far. Tom is fantastic!!! My fiancé and I initially went in to tour the location 3 weeks ago. Tom answered all of our questions and on BOTH occasions went out of his way to be sure all my questions were answered. When I asked about lighting and the sound system, he not only told me what I wanted to hear but showed me! On my second visit to make our dp I asked if he had a moment to show me the bridal suite (there was another couple waiting). He seemed surprise that I did not see it during the initial visit and immediately took me up to view and walked me through the entire suite. He didn't rush me or seem bothered. I'm huge on customer service and I must say, so far, so great!! I will also say that the lady at the reception desk was also very pleasant and made us feel very welcome on BOTH occasions. I am looking forward to planning the rest of my wedding with The Tides team!

This venue is stunning; the driveway invites you in, the lobby has a beautiful chandelier and a grand piano, and the grand ballroom’s lighting can be customized to your wedding color(s). The guests raved about the quality and quantity of food at the cocktail hour, dinner, and the venetian hour; they were impressed with the aesthetics of the venue and the exceptional service they received. While the guests enjoyed cocktail hour, my husband and I took photos with the bridal party in the garden. I really appreciated how The Tides set up a private cocktail hour in the bridal suite so that we could spend some quality time with the bridal party before making our grand entrance down the ornate spiral staircase in the Grand Ballroom. The number of inclusions make this venue an incredible value: champagne greeting, customized printed menus, white glove service, valet parking, premium open bar, and hand carved ice sculpture to name a few. The banquet manager, Tom Austin, worked with us to plan the details of our wedding reception; he did an amazing job of bringing our vision to life. Mike, our Maitre'D, was on-point the entire night and anticipated our every need. Thank you Tom, Mike, and the entire staff at The Tides Estate! - Tara (Werner) and Paul Quagliato (May 19, 2017)

Wow what a stunning place , but even more impressive is how beautiful my wedding day was at The Tides! My husband and I got married July 2017 and the Tides is the place. From the moment we worked with Tom we just fell in love with the place and its atmosphere. The staff was very attentive but not pushy. Tom did an incredible job helping us plan the day out and choose our menu. From there our Matre'd, Steve did a phenomenal job at executing our ideas so that the whole night went smoothly. He made sure to be there when we needed him, but allowed us to be together and celebrate this once in a lifetime event. We couldn't be happier with this wedding venue!

Tom, Steve, and the entire staff of The Tides were absolutely unbelievable throughout the entire process! Tom was so easygoing and accommodating when we were booking our date all the way through to our wedding. His calm demeanor really made it feel like we were working with a friend instead of a vendor. Steve, our Maitre'd, couldn't have been more helpful in attending to me and my wife during the reception. The Tides has a saying when you enter, "Where Dreams Come True" and for us it truly was the case! Every one of our guests commented on how amazing the food during cocktail hour and the reception was, and how grand and impressive the ballroom was. Truly an unforgettable experience I couldn't recommend enough!

We had both my wedding ceremony & reception at The Tides Estate & could not have been happier with our decision! From the very first visit I knew The Tides was the perfect place for our big day! The venue is not only exceptionally beautiful & well kept but the service we received was outstanding. Our main contact was Tom & he was very down to earth, a pleasure to work with & super attentive to all our needs/requests for the big day. From the day we booked to the day of the wedding Tom was always available to answer any questions/inquiries we may have had. Out of all the vendors we booked for our wedding I would say this was the most stress free/seamless transaction. They were really accommodating & helpful throughout the entire process! On the day of the wedding our Maitre d' Steve, was on top of everything! He was so friendly & kept the day in tact & on course! Everything went smoothly & absolutely perfect thanks to all the help of both Tom & Steve! The food was delicious & we are still receiving constant compliments from guests on how great the venue was! Thank you to The Tides for making our Winter Wonderland wedding come true! Look no further - The Tides is hands down the best venue for any of your special occasion needs!

The Tides Estate has been nothing but pleasant to work with as we prepare for our 2018 wedding. So many venues and vendors are too pushy and abrasive but the Tides staff, especially Tom, has been so helpful as we plan. The grand ballroom is absolutely gorgeous. We cannot wait for the big day!

5 stars is not good enough they deserve 100!! Tito and Mike, We will never be able to thank you guys for the most amazing day of our lives! Thank you Tito for being a fantastic person and helping us with every question we had along the way! And MIKE!! where do I even begin?! The second we arrived he made us feel so welcome, like we were family! He fluffed my dress for our outside pictures, by the time we went inside he had my special drink ready and literally held my drink for me to take sips in-between pictures! He was amazing all night I couldn't even believe it! if you are looking for venues with an amazing staff, amazing food, and makes you feel like you are the most special couple in the world, This venue SHOULD BE YOUR WEDDING VENUE!!

The Tides made my dreams come true. I wish I could get married there again just so I could relive that day! I do not even know where to begin. We worked with Tom on the arrangements and he really helped put the day together. We moved to California during our engagement so most of our planning was done via e-mail or telephone! He was so patient and really accommodated to our needs. The venue is beautiful and everyone was in awe with the new Grand Ballroom. We got married in the back so the transition from the ceremony to cocktail hour then to the reception was so swift I think everyone complimented on it. From the decorations to the FOOD to the aroma we could not have asked for a better venue to be a King and Queen for a day. Stephen, the maitre'd was amazing!! I could go on and on but the bottom line is, I was beyond satisfied with the Tides Estate. You will not be disappointed, at all!
