The Tides Estate

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 !!!!

py 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.

ded. 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!

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.

ike 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!

could!

le 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!

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!

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!

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.

ity 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.

ng 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.

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!

es, 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.

o special- especially the maitree d. Everything is amazing from beginning of the experience to the end!

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!

t 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)

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!

t 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!

ell 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!

olutely gorgeous. We cannot wait for the big day!

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!!

ornia 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!

diate family. In addition to the amazing grounds and magical ballroom, the staff truly did do everything possible to make our dreams come true and turn our wedding day into a real life fairy tale. The food was amazing, the service was phenomenal, and we have received endless compliments from our friends and family since our wedding. We are so incredibly happy with the service and amenities that The Tides Estate had to offer us, and could not imagine more perfect wedding day!

that we told him what we wanted. I asked for a specific kind of chair for the wedding and we got it! he came in early and opened up for us! Our maitredee name is Mike! He was incredible as well! I had such an amazing wedding because of these men and everyone that works at the tides. i could not begin to say thank you! i want all my events to be at the tides!!

my wedding vision wonderfully. I would love to thank Tito, Mike, and the rest of The Tides staff for making our day wonderful!

you for making our children's dreams come true!

utside are picture perfect, and the service is outstanding. Tom made us feel incredibly comfortable and relaxed, and I certainly appreciated that from day 1. Our Maître d' was Mike, who completely blew us off of our feet that day. He was on top of EVERYTHING. Literally, everything. He was there when we needed him, the service was fast, and he was a complete pleasure to work with. For days after myself and my husband were astounded at how easy the entire day went for us, directly thanks to Mike and Tom. I can't wait for the opportunity to work with both of them again. You will not regret this venue!!

happy with everything that was going on. Everyone has since raved about the beauty of the place, as well as the service and food. Cocktail hour is ENDLESS and dinner is just as good (the swordfish is out if this world!!!) I HIGHLY recommend this place to everyone looking for an elegant and glamorous place with high ceilings and a stunning staircase. Everyone deserves to feel like a king and queen on their wedding, and they make sure of it! Thank u tito and mike for making our dreams come true, you guys are AMAZING!!!! Love, -The Russos

uet Manger was always there for any questions we had through out our wedding planning. The staff in general were amazing! They truly did make our dreams come true! We couldn't ask for a better venue! I would recommend them to ANYONE!

o this was a plus from the beginning. We also brought our parents so that they could give us their feedback and opinion and needless to say, they were in the same boat as us. During our contract signing Tito was very nice and helped guide us through one of the biggest expenses of our lives we had at that point in time. After that I was a bit disappointed in the timeliness of responses I received from Tito. I had read reviews online that he was so helpful and responded quickly. Every time I emailed him I never got a response and had to email several times just to get a yes or no answer. During the tasting for the final details I felt very rushed. The couple who was there before us got his full attention and a lot better details then we did. It was almost like he was doubled booked and was just focused on the appointments he had during his showing upstairs. Please note when they mention that the escort cards are included, it is just the physical cards. Three nights before the wedding I found this out and my husband had to go back to the Tides to pick up the blank cards and I was left hand writing them out since it was so last minute. Our Maitre D’ Mike was beyond amazing; I even turned to my husband during dinner and asked if we could take him home! We were never left alone and without a drink in our hand. He always made sure we were fine and ate throughout the night. I had many items that needed to be set up at The Tides and he was great in putting everything exactly where I wanted it. All of our guests were in awe of the beauty of the venue and how much food they had to offer that night. The service at each table was terrific. One guest told me that they never ate so much at cocktail hour before. Another guest told me that their steak came out the wrong way and their server came back with four more plates of it just to make sure it was to the specification they wanted.

rst time, I was in love. My husband told me in his mind he was already thinking well she's in love, how am I going to pay for it? We worked with Tom and he made it possible for us to have the most beautiful, elegant wedding we could have ever imagined in the Belmont and Manchester Ballroom. We got married on 9/24/16 at 11:30 am. The grounds were gorgeous. We had out first look photos by the gate. We got married outdoors by the smaller gazeebo and it looked so beautiful. Flowers and greenary all around us. The staff, especially our matr'd Steve, was amazing and accommodating. We felt like celebrities. He made sure we had everything we needed and wanted. We for our rehearsal 2 nights before and had a great time running through everything with him. His team put out everything as requested. The bridal suit was awesome. The food was delicious. We didn't finish our dishes so Steve had packed our food up for us without us even asking. He was never too far from us but in a great way. Time flew by! We were not rushed out afterwards as there wasn't a wedding after ours. We did everything at the Tides from getting ready to pictures to ceremony to reception. Everything was flawless. We highly recommend. We are so grateful that we were able to have our wedding there.

so they could try the food, see the venue and experience the top notch service. At our rehearsal we were walked through everything as many times as we needed by Tom and he made sure everyone knew exactly what would happen when and where we needed to be. The morning of our wedding we met our Mater'd Mike. Mike was amazing. I really can't put it another way. He made sure we had everything we needed and more. He always made sure we had whatever we wanted to drink, he made sure we tried all of our delicious appetizers, he made sure we sat down for dinner!! (all of our friends and families were sure we would not have a chance to try our own food but we did and it was delicious!) and of course, Mike walked my wife and I through our Viennese hour before anyone else and made sure we tried all of the delicious desserts before anyone which was very special. Tom asked if we would like to have a private cocktail hour with whoever we wanted and we chose to do that. It was one of the best choices we made. Right after the ceremony we went to the beautiful bridal suite with our parents and bridal party and had drinks from our personal bartender and a sampling of every appetizer. It was the perfect time to take in the moment with our closest families before the reception began. The Tides provides table numbers, seating cards, a golden bird cage for cards, among many other accommodations. We had the most perfect wedding we could ever ask for and we constantly have friends and families raving about the delicious food, beautiful venue and how great of a time they had. Do yourself a favor and take a tour of the Tides, meet with Tom and see for yourself! -Chris and Jessie (Married 9/17/16 at The Tides Estate)

rice. We also had a beautiful ceremony in The Tides' lovely gardens. Tom was responsive and accommodating, and our maitre de Mike attended to our every need, making our wedding day easy.

nd two hours before the ceremony it started to pour! Tom asked me what I want to do and said he would do his best to have it outside. Luckily the rain stopped and they worked very hard to make my dream wedding happen. As the bride and groom you are taken care of all night, which was so nice!! I highly recommend The Tides Estate!!

stic. So many of our guests were coming up to us saying how much food they had eaten and how amazing the venue was. Thank you so much for making our wedding day such a great success! Katie & Andrew

ho turned out to be irresponsible (it's 10 mo post my wedding date and I STILL do not have my video...).......because of TITO and THE TIDES ESTATE I can honestly still say that my wedding day was the best time of my life! Not only was the food AMAZING and PLENTIFUL, but the service and accommodations were also above and BEYOND! Thank you so much!!! Definitely recommend this venue to everyone!!!

nsure a seamless flow throughout our wedding. The only thing was that our date was wrong on the menu, but even my parents didn't notice! The food was that fantastic :)

e it than incredible, although we have not yet received our professional pictures the ones posted so far are truly stunning. From the second I walked into this venue I knew it was the place I wanted to get married, its absolutely beautiful. The first day I visited I met with Tito, who is honestly incredible to work with, any tedious question you may have will not go unanswered and the second you sit down with him you feel at ease that he knows what he is doing. He goes through at length with you what you can expect, and my wedding day was even more incredible than I could have imagined. From the moment I entered my cocktail hour I was rushed by my guests saying how amazing the place was and how delicious the food was, which there is a TON of food I might add, all that not only tasted incredible but was displayed so beautifully. I know most bride and grooms may not get the chance to eat at their wedding, but if you are lucky enough to get married here, make sure you take the time to eat something because the food was amazing. Tito also is available at any point during the reception should you need anything along with your maître de who is attentive and helpful in making the process seamless. There was one small hiccup where we found only two bartenders on and we said something to Tito and within minutes the third had arrived, our guests never waited long for a drink and my husband and I had drinks in our hands without even asking the entire night. The bridal suite as well is a beautiful place to escape to when you need to step away and just take it all in or fix your make up with the help of your bridesmaids, its simply beautiful. One other thing I would like to mention is the lighting system that is built into the tides really adds an incredible touch, most DJs would charge thousands to have the uplighting we had throughout the night, from different color hues to strobe lights when you want to light up the dance floor it was simply stunning and an awesome touch included in your price instead of paying out of pocket to another vendor. I could go on for hours at how amazing the place was but simply put, if you are looking to get married in the New Jersey area there is no other place to look than here, I was so nervous about the day going perfectly and the second we arrived my nerves were put at ease, we can't thank everyone at the Tides Estate enough for the most perfect day we could have ever imagined, all my guests are still talking about how incredible our wedding was and we are so grateful to have found the Tides, A++ ! <3 the smiths <3

Ball Room and it was so beautiful. Tito helped us in every way possible! Every little detail was just perfect! Even the invitations that we got from the Wright Moment located in the Tides were amazing! We couldn't have asked for a better venue for our perfect day!

from the hardwood floors to the grand staircase to the high ceilings. It's a brides dream. Tito was so accommodating and anytime we had a question he was right there to answer it no matter how big or small. We couldn't have been happier with our decision. You will not be disappointed in their Grand Ballroom or their staff.

and just how beautiful everything came together. Tito and the team really made sure that all my questions were answered and I was at ease which, if you're a bride you know how important that is! I loved the Tides!!!!!!

are very helpful. You guys are the best!! I can not thank you more for all your services and perfect venue. The food was delicious and abundance, loved it. The bridal suite and the garden for the ceremony was lovely and perfect. I don't have words to express how wonderful I felt having my wedding at The Tides. Thank you Tom.

work with throughout the planning process. Anything my fiancé and I needed, Tom was there for us. Our guests have been raving about the food, the service, and the beauty of the venue. Mike, the maitre'd was absolutely FANTASTIC. We were never without a drink and anything we asked for, we got. I wish that I could press rewind and relive my wedding day over and over. Thank you to The Tides Estate for making our wedding dreams come true!

he Tides made sure that every detail was executed to perfection. They are kind and courteous and make sure that your event will surpass anyone's expectations. The Tides cocktail hour is second to none, the bar continued to make any drink flawlessly, dinner was delicious and the Viennese table was spectacular. I can not thank the entire staff enough for making this event an unforgettable one. I look forward to continuing business with them for many years to come.

food was amazing as well.

ery professional and the food was great!! Desserts were absolutely out of this world - would recommend this place!

a package that was in our budget and made the entire process so simple and easy for us. I would highly recomend this venue to anyone looking to get married. One of the things for us that set this venue amongst the rest (aside from their amazing food); was the fact that their grand ball room was just redone and they i stalled an extremely expensive lighting anf sound system that was to no additional charge to us. We were able to use it and saved a bundle on the DJ extras. In addition, the musicians bands and DJs sit on a balcony, so no ones ears are being blown out. Everyone was extremely conplimentary all night!

guests complimented us on how great the ballroom looked and how impressed they were with the overall look. We booked with Tom who was great to work with and Mike was our maître d. Tom answered every question we had and was always quick to respond to us. Mike was AMAZING he helped us with our every need the day of the wedding and knew what would look good for pictures. He was very attentive and even our guests said he helped them with anything they needed also! The one thing I kept hearing after our wedding was how amazing the food was! Everyone was so impressed with the variety and quality of the food- we actually ate the food at our wedding and I can say it was delicious! We also took pictures in the gardens and it is really a beautiful backdrop! Our wedding day so wonderful thanks to The Tides- everything went off without a problem. They do such an amazing job I would definitely recommend this venue!

! If you're looking for a venue that's elegant but not "too much" this is for you. We had our ceremony there as well, the gardens are very pretty. Everyone is very nice and accommodating. The maître d' was very attentive and was there for whatever we needed the whole day. We have received so many compliments on our wedding and everyone says the venue was amazing. They have great cocktail hour packages, the dinner was good and dessert was yummy with a lot of choices. I'd definitely recommend this venue to anyone. My favorite part is nothing about it is tacky. Everything is very neutral so you can make it grand if that's your style or very casual elegant like we did.

important to us. Tom Austin was the banquet manager we dealt with and he was phenomenal. Every question we had in the months leading up to the day - from the food to pictures to vendor recommendations - was answered quickly, honestly, politely and with the singular desire to make sure we were happy. For any matter, once we told Tom what we wanted, he said not to worry and he delivered ten-fold. Additionally, Steve was our Maitre D’ and he listened attentively to all our needs, wants and concerns, and was fantastic to deal with. He made sure we and our families were taken care of and that we found enough time in the day to enjoy the special moments. The Tides truly made us feel special and that we were satisfied with every part of the day. For instance, the week of our wedding we dropped off all of our favors, placecards, etc. Tom and Steve stayed late to open up the ballroom for us to practice our wedding dance and pick the exact lighting we wanted for our reception. This put our minds at ease that we now knew we chose the perfect wedding venue. Second, The Tides’ grand ballroom is absolutely stunning. It is open, elegant and truly magnificent. The balcony gave us and our bridal party that “celebrity” feeling and the chandeliers gave it a very upscale vibe. The room itself is also very comfortable and allowed guests to walk around and plenty of room to dance on their big dance floor. The room has by far the best sound system we have ever heard in a wedding venue. All our guests would not stop dancing and even requested our band keep playing after the reception was over – our band was fantastic but part of that was due to the fact that no expense was spared in designing the surround sound in that room. Also, the room has a large projection screen that comes down from the ceiling, which you do not need to pay extra for like in other places. We were able to do photo slideshows and were able to project in real-time my father playing a drum solo onto the screen, which was one of the highlights of the night. Third, this is North Jersey, so when there’s a wedding, the food has to be good and we did not have to worry about The Tides delivering in that regard. We had a champagne toast in the foyer followed by a cocktail hour that had all you could ever want – sushi, seafood tower, carving stations, pizza and pasta stations, etc., and of course an unlimited open bar. Guests certainly didn’t go hungry and left little room for the reception dinner and Viennese Table, which were fantastic as well. Lastly, the grounds and building itself are well-maintained, clean and provided plenty of variety for pictures. We took them in the gardens, in the bridal suite and in the foyer under the breathtaking chandelier. Our guests enjoyed taking pictures as well all over the venue! My husband and I wanted to make sure that our day was about love and making sure our guests left the event feeling that as well. The Tides helped us fulfill that wish and many guests said it was the best wedding they’ve ever been to! To this day we keep saying how we can’t wait to go to another wedding at The Tides – it truly is a place where all your dreams come true!

you Tom!

s quick to respond to my questions and went above and beyond to keep me happy. It poured rain on the morning of my wedding, and I had made the call an hour prior to my ceremony that it would need to be inside. However, the rain stopped 15 minutes before the ceremony was about to begin. Tom asked me if I wanted to have the ceremony outside (of course I said yes) and him and his team quickly and efficiently set up! We even managed to get started on time! Also our matire d' Mike was great! Always ensured I had a drink in my hand! Overall the Tides was great!I recommend this venue wholeheartedly for any bride!

eting we felt extremely comfortable and we could just tell that he was a genuine person which we loved after meeting with so many other venues who you know are just in it for the business. It is rare to find an individual who is professional, dedicated and loves what he does. My husband wants to make him his "best friend". After we saw the renovations to the place we were completely blown away. It did not stop there the day of the wedding we were completely satisfied as the food was amazing. Our Maitre D Mike was such a blessing. He made our wedding day so stress free. He made sure all went smoothly and took care of us from beginning to end. If we can give Tito, Mike and The Tides Estate 6 stars we could. Best , The New Mr. & Mrs. Maisonave .

py we went with The Tides and I wish we could do it all over again! I highly recommend this venue!! Thank you Tito & Steve!!

where to start. My now husband and I visited multiple venues for our wedding and as soon as we walked into The Tides and met Tito we knew it was the right place for us. Tito made us feel right at home and it was clear that he was passionate about his job and truly believed in the venue. He listened attentively to all of our needs, wants, and concerns, and addressed them all with a friendly and professional manner. From the moment I stepped out of the limo on our wedding day I was greeted by the Maitre D', Stephen, and from that moment on he never stopped waiting on us. Our personal service was phenomenal and we honestly felt like royalty. My husband, who arrived at the venue for pictures earlier in the day, also could not stop raving about the amount of personalized attentiveness he received from the very first minute until the last. As soon as the guests valet parked their cars they walked in and were handed drinks while they waited in the breathtaking lobby until it was ready for ceremony. We got married onsite at The Tides and the grounds are simply magnificent. It is an intimate feel which still holds the grandeur of gardens with fresh green grass and flowers beautifully landscaped across the property. Following ceremony was cocktail hour and all our guests raved about the amount of and quality of the selections and food. I can promise you your guests will never be hungry!! We got married in the Manchester Room, which is the smaller room downstairs. You would never know that you were downstairs because the cocktail hour space is beautifully done and very spacious with both indoor seating and an outdoor patio. Everything was executed to perfection! Reception went off without a hitch! Every single little detail was put in place exactly how I wanted it and it honestly felt like living a dream. There was not one moment in the day where I did not feel taken care of. The staff and service was phenomenal, bartenders were quick and made our specialty drinks even better than we make them ourselves, food was absolutely delicious, and most importantly everyone was having a fantastic time!! It was, in one short word, perfect and we had a blast! If you are looking for a venue that truly has it all; The Tides is your best bet! I can assure you, you will not be disappointed and it is simply incredible!!

elpful, and a pleasure to work with. Being a complete type A organized person myself-my wedding day was exactly as I had hoped-zero worries and stress free. We had such a blast and everything was so beautiful. We were supposed to have our ceremony outside and it rained-so last minute they rearranged the ceremony for indoors.I'm sure the garden would have been amazing but It was so wonderful that it didn't even bother us. Everyone says the food was amazing (we hardly ate-our own fault-we were having too much fun with everyone!! But no regrets!)Our maitre D Mike went above and beyond. (he did encourage us to eat more!! You were right mike!!) Words can't express how amazing he was-and EVERYONE noticed-I quickly realized that I had NOTHING to stress about and we fully enjoyed our day! I appreciate even the tiny details of Mike covering my dress with a napkin so I can have a red wine with no accidental spills or running into the rain so my lanterns could be a surprise inside for me-and Tito even letting me hide out in the managers office so my groom wouldn't see me when the rain chased us inside! A big thanks again to Tito and Mike and the rest of their wonderful staff-and to Hailey who I called way too many times the last couple days and who helped me with my beautiful invitations!! You guys are amazing and I hope someone I know gets married there soon so I can sit back and eat and enjoy as a guest!!! THANK YOU!! -Nicole&Anthony

lent and catered to our every need all evening. I would recommend this venue to all of my friends and do not have a single negative thing to say.

all the little details in place, I couldn't believe how perfectly my vision came to life. Tito, our banquet manager, was absolutely a pleasure to work with. He ensured everything went smoothly all night long, he maintained excellent communication with us throughout the entire planning process, and worked with us to provide a delicious variety of foods that blended our families' different cultures. Mike, the maitre'd, ensured my groom and I, and all our guests were well taken care of throughout the entire evening, replenishing drinks, orchestrating the flow of the evening's events, and any other request or need that arose, he was on top of it all. I walked down the aisle that evening with not an ounce of anxiety or worry, because I was confident that Tito and Mike had everything covered. Our guests cannot stop talking about how beautiful the ballroom and the grounds were and how much and how delicious all the food was! I am so grateful to everyone at The Tides Estate for doing what they do and providing us with the perfect venue to host our special day. The Tides Estate really did make all our dreams come true. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you thank you thank you! The new Mr. and Mrs. Lourenco

We didn’t have to lift one finger on the day of the wedding and he was constantly checking in on us to ensure that my husband and I ate and that everything was running smoothly. Most of all, everyone RAVED about the food.

I highly recommend The Tides, everyone here is super friendly and will go above and beyond to meet your need!! THANK YOU the Tides for making our day that more special!!!!

We received great reviews from all of our guests regarding the wonderful outdoor seating as well as the great food that was served! Your event will be the talk of the town for days to come and a lifetime to remember, if you decide to choose the The Tides Estate!

estions that we had. On the day of the wedding, everything ran super smoothly. Our maitre-d Steven was amazing. Literally anything we needed he provided for us before we even realized we wanted or needed it. They made sure to get everything back to us that we wanted and worked with all of our vendors to ensure smooth set-up and break-downs. Most of all, everyone RAVED about the food. Numerous people told us that the cocktail hour was the largest they had ever seen, and that it was some of the best food they had ever had at a wedding. We wished we had more time to enjoy such an amazing day. We cannot recommend the Tides more highly. Thank you!

always there to answer any questions, I really didn't have to worry about a thing throughout the whole planning process and Mike our Maitre D was just amazing! Was always around to make sure we had a drink in our hands and made sure that my husband and I were okay. The service was great all around! Thank you Tides Estates for definitely making our dreams come true ;)

y was fabulous with everything going as planned and I couldn't have done it without the support from the tides. Thank you!!! 5 stars!

us...my husband and I ordered all three of the options on our menu (chicken, salmon, and filet) and they were all so good that I couldn't pick a favorite. Our Maître D Mike was also so amazing! He did everything he could to make us feel like King and Queen. He catered to our every need and helped the whole night flow smoothly. I do not have anything negative to say about the Tides...it was perfect! Our wedding was magical and our guests thought so too. I highly recommend them for your wedding venue!

ty. My Mother went up to the bar and he said "You don't have to get up, go have a seat and I'll bring you your drink". I was standing on the side of the dance floor and he walked up and handed me a glass of water, without ever being asked. Before I walked down to the aisle with my parents, he ran and got my Dad some tissues. He was on top of EVERYTHING! All of the appetizers were available in the Bridal Suite and they were delicious. All of my guests raved about the cocktail hour and the dinner. I heard many comments from different guests about the friendly wait staff and the beauty of the venue (outside and inside). Without a doubt have your wedding here!! We could not have been happier!

s no place you could take a bad photo! The staff was incredibly professional, helpful, and really made you feel like royalty from the first meeting to the very end of the journey. Our event manager, Tito, and our Maitre D, Stephen, were both absolutely wonderful in every way. They set up the reception area exactly as we asked (and we had a LOT of stuff for them to decorate with!). They also helped to facilitate the reception and let us know what to do next—but at the same time they felt like family and seemed to truly enjoy being a part of our big day. We have heard multiple times that this was the BEST wedding our guests have been to—the food is absolutely gourmet and the cocktail hour spread was unparalleled. Trust me, this is the PERFECT place to have your wedding reception or special event!

we never would have imagined what an amazing job they did and how beautiful it is! My family and friends still talk about what a great time they had, how big the upstairs room was and the delicious food. I hope someone I know has a wedding there soon so we can go back!

And of course I have to mention Tito and Mike. Tito was great at helping us book the wedding. He was always available to answer our questions and very professional and prompt. Mike out maitre d was excellent. He was like a ninja when it came to coordinating our day. He was exactly where he needed to be and made sure we were where we needed to be at all times. And everything was effortless. The Tides went above and beyond what we hoped for and our guests are STILL talking about our day. Most said it was the best wedding they've ever been to. I recommend the Tides Estate to anybody who wants a dream wedding!

ere, making sure everything goes as planned."Just can't thank you enough ! Everything for our Wedding Reception was perfect. We received so many comments on what a beautiful place we picked. Joey and I wanted you to know how pleased we were with all you did to make everything so special." I really can't thank you enough for your help and your support . I just hope you know how much I appreciate you and your staff." Mr. and Mrs Dela Cruz

e most patients set of people I've ever meet. Tito is an terrific General manager and works with you, he realizes what most wedding venue don't that we are all human beings, he doesn't come across like a robot just quoting prices. Tom and Steve are also 2 of the few names that assisted us with our wedding coordination's these guys are the best. Steve was our Maitre D there was a mixed up with my florist, and I received 3 less bridesmaids bouquet, just before I could pick apart my centerpieces apart Steve appeared out of nowhere with flowers and rubber bands. This allowed me to make 3 bouquets and save my centerpieces. Steve made sure we ate, brought us drinks, coordinated with our DJ. To simply put it without Steve, I would have been a mess. From their beautiful lawns at drive up, to their amazing Garden Ceremony space in the back, there grounds are well kept! You won't need to go anywhere else to take any of your wedding photos, if your looking for an outdoor setting. Now for the inside, their amazing chandeliers gets your attention immediately, they have chandeliers in just about every room. The inside decor simply gets you. Regardless of your taste in Decor, you can't go wrong with the Tides Estate. If your thinking about any of these other big name Venues, you must go and see The Tides, go in person and sit down with either Tito and Tom and be upfront about your budget, you never know, they might just be your fairy god-fathers and make your dream come true. I wanted to say a special Thank you to The Tides Estate and Tito, for all that was done for my wedding, I wouldn't have done it any other way. Not to mentions all my guest are still raving about how great the cocktail hour was, and dinner was simply amazing. The view and the grounds are spectacular.
