The Views At Mount Fuji

as perfect. He also videotaped it for me and took a few pictures. We are almost 99% sure we will hold the reception here, our experience was so positive!

s. When we had to change the schedule the day of the event, Bruce was quick on his feet to make sure everything went smooth sailing. The staff were friendly and on top of making sure the guests were happy and if they needed anything was quick to help. Overall the planning was made super easy by the venue and there was no stress the event would not end well because of it.

a great time was had by all. Bruce is very talented at coordinating events. He anticipates what is best for each situation...leaving no worries to the host. He made planning the event a lot of fun! And he has a good sense of humor. I would definitely return to this venue if Bruce was once again available to Direct the event. And I am certain our 50+ guests would also return to have an event here. Thanks to the entire staff at Mount Fuji for providing such a memorable venue for our 30th High School Reunion. Camilla Smith

d attentive. The food was delicious and plentiful. Everyone had a fantastic time. Thank you to the entire team for making my dreams a reality.

remony was to start at 1:00 p.m. My wife is Chinese, I'm Scott-Irish American. It just so happens that lucky numbers play an important role in how your future unfolds, so much in fact, that if the timing of our wedding ceremony was going to be outside the specific times, we would have to wait till the next lucky day (in September). So Bruce (director of catering) sent out an e-mail to all of our guests, informing them of the change. The problem with that was I didn't give Bruce all of the E-mail addresses. O.K. here we go. Wedding day, I leave the Double Tree Hilton at 11:15 a.m. plenty of time to make sure everything runs smooth without any screw-UPS on my part.On my way up route 17 I was passed by 4 Mahwah cop cars going weather fast, then I saw it, a traffic jam from hell.So I put my car in never mind mode, just like I did on January 13th, 1982 on the 14th street bridge and flew past the crap. This time, I found myself with 3 miles of traffic between myself and my Bride and the clock is starting to run down.Bruce to the rescue. After spending an hour trying to get Li on the phone, we finally got contact just to find out she was stuck in the traffic jam.Bruce jumped in and talked to the driver of Li's car and talked her through the back roads to Mt. Fuji.The clock is running down fast. 1245 no sign of Li, 12:49, on her way.Bruce comes up with the thought this ain't gonna happen the way we signed up for. He decides to go down to the bridal suite and fetch my best man and the minister. At 12:55 they show up at valet parking, and so does my Bride.Thanks to the determination and experience of the director of catering and his incredible staff, Li and I got married in valet parking at 12:56 p.m. After that it was easy. The attention to details, the service, the great food and the fact that I have pal and not a caterer after all the suspense says a lot.

of the way with endless guidance and patience in all aspects leading up to the big day as well as the wedding itself. No detail was left unattended to and Bruce made sure everything went smoothly and that Jay and I never had never had the burden of worrying about anything on our magical day. The food was outstanding: varied and unique(people are still talking about the mashed potato station) with everything from crepes to sushi. The service was warm and professional. The owner himself walked my grandmother in law in her wheelchair down to the ceremony area when they arrived. The reception was gorgeous and the views of the mountains really are beautiful. Our day was perfect and our friends and family insist it was the best wedding they've ever been to. We look forward to going back every year for our anniversary!

step to make our night special. The entire staff at the Views were very attentive, food was out of this world. When I went back to work everyone was talking about what a beautiful reception it was, and that it was the best they had ever been to. I thought so too, but I'm kind of biased. :-) Thank you so much Bruce for everything!!!!

rything from planning the wedding till the end of the wedding. The venue was beautiful and romantic. We had outdoor ceremony and we held cocktail hour and reception inside. It was wonderful. You will be amazed having a wedding here with priceless view, the food and the wedding planner, Bruce! I received all good complements from our guests like how beautiful the venue was and they are all amazed by the taste and the decoration of the foods. We are really grateful to Bruce for his hard work on the event. We highly recommend the Views at Mt. Fuji for any of your events.

nd it was so beautiful that other wedding venues would be almost impossible to compete. Thanks a lot to Bruce that he was being so helpful for all of our wedding planning. In addition to the venue's great atmosphere and décor, Bruce's advices and support were necessary to make our wedding day so memorable. We will definitely go visit again to The Views / Mt Fuji restaurant for other occasions. Thanks again Bruce!!!

lp though out the whole process. Completely satisfied with how everything turned out.

ve her the wedding that all women deserve and with fear of not being able to succeed I found Bruce Werntz at The Views. What can I say, not only was I getting married but I was hosting my own wedding. I needed everything to be perfect and Bruce made sure it happened. The place is gorgeous being on top of a mountain with floor to ceiling windows. The weather was beautiful as we had the service outside at 4 PM. There was plenty of room for all the guests and the altar and sound system were excellent. Following the nuptials we went upstairs for the cocktail hour. The food was excellent, the service was impeccable and the alcohol flowed freely. Everybody was really having a great time. We then all headed downstairs for the dinner. The room is beautiful, the ambiance is party enhancing and the staff is always around but unobtrusive. The food is delicious and everybody can get to the dance floor easily. When it was time to call it a day everyone was raving. They laughed, they cried and all had a fabulous time. My wife had her dream wedding, my guests had a ball and all went home happy. I could not have dreamt of a better day. My wishes and hopes were all met thanks to Bruce. If you need a place to have an event, look up Bruce. I promise you will not be disappointed.

y the cocktail hour! My only feedback would be that many of the guests were not aware of the wonderful dessert stations that were available (including an ice cream sundae bar), so perhaps the band/DJ or wait staff could have informed them a few more times that it was available. Overall a great day and a wonderful event! We love The Views at Mt. Fuji! Thank you Bruce, Yoshi, and the wonderful wait staff for making our day so great!

her special day. He helped her make her plate of food and carried it to her table. The food was excellent. Everything from the appetizers to the main course. The staff was wonderful and very helpful. Our daughter lost her ring and the whole staff started looking for it. That was on top of making sure the guest were well taken care of with food and drinks. I would totally recommend The Views at Mt. Fuji. I know all our guest would too because they are all still talking about it.

, my guests still can't stop talking about it !! The ambiance and elegance of The Views added the perfect atmosphere for one of my daughter's biggest celebrations of her life , THANK YOU to all of the staff at The Views even the ones that worked for us behind the scenes to make this and unforgettable event !!!

ce Wentz, not only was receptive to any calls during the planning stage, welcomed frequent visits to the catering facility, but was also our host during every moment on the day of our special event. We were impressed beyond anything we have experienced in the past. We recommend The Views at Mt. Fuji for any of your special occasions. - R&D Adams

eremony and our reception were nearly perfect, with the backdrop to our ceremony being picturesque, and our reception being superbly organized. We really couldn't ask for more at a reasonable price. The only flaw in our day was a microphone malfunction during the wedding ceremony, but that was the fault of our reverend, not the venue. All in all, I give "The Views" a 9 out of 10. We will remember our wedding day as momentous and beautiful forever.

nt to publicly thank Bruce, Director of Catering at The Views for his honesty and attentiveness. We did our research and visited many venues and somehow couldn't find the right fit for us, we were getting a bit frustrated, losing hope we thought we were going to have to settle. It wasn't until I thought of Mount Fuji, I had been at their restaurant in Hillburn NY a couple of times and have only wonderful things to say about their food and service and so I was only happy to find that they had a catering hall. By the time my now husband and I went for a meeting to see the venue I already had a positive image of them as a business and meeting Bruce only reassured my opinion of them. From the beginning we felt at ease and trusted that The Views was the place for us. Bruce, came across not as a salesman who just wanted us to book his venue but as an truthful man who cared deeply for his prospective client's needs and wants. In our case, he understood our uncertainty and lack of knowledge and our desire to personalize our wedding and make it unique to us. Bruce was very understanding when we told him we wanted to endeavor on designing and decorating for our wedding as much as possible. He smiled and agree to the best of his ability accommodate our needs. We were immediately sold!!! The views is the perfect venue for an event of this type, they have a variety on packages to satisfy everyone's needs and if the preset packages they offer don't work for the client, they are very flexible and willing modify these packages. In summary, the setting (panoramic views) is phenomenal, ambience cozy, the food is to die for and they have it in abundance, the staff very, very professional, they are very flexible, price is fair and Bruce as a person a wonderful and very respectful man. We got what we wanted from our venue thanks to Bruce and his team!!! The only thing to be concerned about is to make sure you know how to get there, the exit is a bit tricky and you might miss it and not all GPS units take the address.

ros: The venue is beautiful. You're atop a mountain, looking down into a valley from a beautifully appointed room lined with windows. The ballroom was more than spacious enough to accommodate my ceremony in one part and my reception in another (we had about 85 guests). We really appreciated the cafe-style tables that were set up in the bar area so guests could get away from the music inside the ballroom for a few minutes. Since we had mobility-limited guests, the elevator access to the event was also highly appreciated. The waitstaff were fantastic - friendly and eager to please. Special thanks go to bartender Becky, who dealt with perfect aplomb with mobs of slightly tipsy guests all wanting the fancy drink they saw someone else have a few minutes ago. We were blown away when we realized that waiters were taking drink orders and delivering them to guests at their tables, rather than making guests have to get up and wait in line. A waiter even custom-made people's ice cream sundaes at the ice cream bar, rather than people having to serve themselves! The food was delicious (do yourself a favor and try the ginger salad dressing!), and there was more than enough of it to go around at our buffet dinner. My husband and I really appreciated being served a cocktail hour sampling alone in the bridal suite so we could catch our breath after the ceremony, and Bruce even thought to bring an apron for me to put over my dress so I didn't stain it while I ate! We had planned to put together a candy bar for the end of the night as our wedding favors, and Bruce surprised us a few days before the wedding by hiring, at no cost to us, a specialty candy bar vendor to style and add to what we had for the table. It ended up gorgeous beyond words, and guests keep telling us, even a month later, how wonderful they thought it was. Cons: Bruce, the catering manager, was difficult to get in touch with during our planning process - he would answer emailed questions with "call me" rather than an answer, but then we would be unable to get in touch with him by phone for hours, or even a day or two. When we did eventually speak to him, he would be friendly and helpful, but rushed. We got the impression that we were low on his priority list. The price we ended up paying for our event and extras was ok given the value we got, but not fantastic. Quoted numbers had a habit of inching higher between quote and contract, and we found ourselves wishing we had done a better job nailing down exactly what everything cost right off the bat. There is no climate control available in the bridal suites. They were extremely warm, but we were told there was nothing anyone could do to cool them down; for whatever reason, they couldn't air condition them adequately. The ballroom itself was much more comfortable, however. All-in-all, the night of our wedding went beautifully and we and our guests had a great time, but we felt that the service we received during the planning process was lacking in some ways. We would have appreciated a clearer pricing/quote system and a more responsive event contact. Everyone who served or attended to us at the wedding, however, was amazing, as was the food and drink that they served.

ed their service and we will look for another opportunity to celebrate an affair at The Views. Celebrating a wedding is a once in a life memorable experience and I would highly recommend The Views At Mount Fuji for their terrific staff, service, delicious food and exceptional location. Thank you to Bruce, all of his wonderful staff at the The Views At Mount Fuji for a fantastic experience with great memories!! All the best, Chris M

ld exhibits of 8x10 photos, posters of bridal photos of yesteryear, our wedding album, our 50th anniversary album, an album of our 40th wedding anniversary from our then youngest grandchildren, who are now parents of their own children, a DVD of family history, showing clips of new relatives we met in Europe on our travels of discovery, movies of our wedding of sixty years ago taken by an uncle who is no longer with us—but whose children were there to see their Dad’s work. In addition I had just published our book on our family history and brought them along with me so our family could see them. Nothing was too much for Bruce to handle. His expertise as Maitre D was excellent, Over our lifetime, we have been to many major events and none were more expertly handled than ours.

as awesome, the reception room looked so beautiful, more than I was expecting, and they work with all your vendors. Private bathrooms and bar - different pricing packages - came with a free wedding cake we got to design - and the cocktail hour room is very modern with beautiful views and a place to have an after party once the reception ends. Close hotels with transportation also. Your wedding day will go smooth and stress-free. A couple at our wedding loved it so much that they had their wedding there. We just went back for our 1 year anniversary for dinner and not only were we remembered, but treated like VIP's.

stunning. We also had a murder mystery event (Bruce’s suggestion) that was very entertaining! Everyone raved about this awesome event. I would highly recommend the Views at Mt. Fuji for any event. Thank you so much Bruce!

ect and the service was remarkable, thank you for making sure Dan and I ate and enjoyed the food. Dinner was delicious! Our guests are still raving about the food and the service. We appreciate all of the help that you provided by catering our wedding. The wedding cake was beautiful, and we will always remember how special it felt to cut the first slice together. Thank you for recommending Palermo’s Bakery. Because of your help with the cleanup process, we were able to relax together after our reception. Thank you so much for everything! Kindest regards, Joanne and Dan DeSimone

et with myself and party and family frequently to go over details. On the day of the wedding everything was set up perfectly. Attention was paid to every little detail. The waitstaff was there to assist us with any requests, and brought us anything we needed. Bruce coordinated the ceremony and reception for us, which was such an asset. I did not have to worry about a thing on the day of the wedding, as it was all taken care of for me. The venue itself is absolutely beautiful. The outdoor ceremony area has views of the Ramapo mountains. Inside the venue is decorated with everything Japanese. The outside is complete with a koi pond, a row of tori gates (they make for beautiful photos), statues and numerous other little details you have to see in person. Also did I mention the inside has hand carved wooden ceilings? My guests could not stop asking about the Views and how I had found the venue. They also could not get over the beauty and charm. Some said it was the best cocktail hour they had ever been to. They also loved the international coffee bar and ice cream sundae stand. I would highly recommend the Views at Mount Fuji to anyone planning a wedding. It is beyond a great deal of value, all while getting the service and beauty that not many other wedding venues come with.

g, if you are looking for good meal...this is the place, the food was delicious.I highly recommended to ANYONE getting married or planning an event, Mt. Fuji is the best in town!

oughout the night. Bruce made sure everything was organized from day one and was always available to talk to. The food and service were great and they even threw in a nice surprise for us. My husband and I are very happy that we had our wedding at Mount Fuji. We plan on returning for our 1 year anniversary.

ktail party to the entree to the cake, it was incredible! I even remember stopping the fast speed of the day, to say, wow my dinner is excellent! The atmosphere was beautiful, the night was beautiful, and Bruce the Matradee was an absolute delight, from beginning to end, so helpful, insightful, and the night of the wedding was an incredible help to me! Go with The Views, you will NOT regret it!

ng. We had our ceremony on the outdoor patio, which was just amazing. Wedding Coordinator Bruce W. took care of our every need and made sure the entire event went smoothly. The day was perfect and we were able to focus on enjoying our special moment. Much appreciation to Bruce and the Mt Fuji Staff!

a detail was forgotten. Jun & I and all our guests were well taken care of. Bruce I can't thank you enough for making my husband 50th Birthday celebration a night to remember. Nobody wants to go home. We had a blast. The cake was awesome, Tom the Dj was great...Thank you thank you!!! Juvy

nu and the sequence of events…more times than he had to, but he wanted to make sure I was at ease about the day and I was. Bruce went above and beyond and my day was amazing. On my wedding day, I couldn’t have been happier. Everything was exactly what I had dreamed it would be…and more. I could have done without the rain, but even that did not change how remarkable my experience was. The view from high atop the mountain is enough to take your breath away. The banquet room was beautiful, from the décor to the linens. The food was incredible and everyone that attended told me how delicious everything was. I also had just about everyone that attended tell me how wonderful the location was and how this is probably one of the best weddings they’ve ever been too, top 5 according to most. I have only Bruce and his staff to thank for my best day ever. I would recommend them to anyone that asked…and have.

s expected. Thank You for making our daughter's dream a reality!

location is beautiful and thankfully the weather cooperated. We had a relatively small number of guests, about 75, but they were able to partition off the main room to just the right size. The food was fantastic and, even though we had to go around for pictures and to greet our guests, Bruce and the staff made sure that we had plenty. All night our guests were raving about how well put together the event was and how everything moved so smoothly. We couldn't be happier with our experience at the venue.

ents, and working with our last minute glitches-- from TV set-ups, malfunctioning computers, and nontraditional requests-and still found time to give a special "Bonzai!" birthday song for the birthday bride to make the day memorable!

and views were to die for, it was the attential to detail that made the event so outstanding. From the name cards, hors d'oeuvres, place settings, servers, menu, and everything associated with the event, nothing was left untouched by perfection. Bruce was attentive but unobtrusive while making sure that all was going as planned. Kudos to Bruce and Mt. Fuji.

wow- they were amazed at the views and the overall presentation. The service was also impeccable and they cater to your every need. Bruce Werntz, Director of Catering, is knowledgeable and was 100% focused on making our special day exactly what we wanted. He is one of the best!! Nice variety of food and everything was delicious. Perfect day and very memorable! We would plan another event at Mt. Fuji without any hesitation.

exceptional, my difficult family even said it was one of the best weddings they ever attended. I wish I could have been a guest because of the rave reviews from our guests. Only pls ask for the waiter to save ur cake because they cleared the table so quickly.

seen (today there are all kinds of reality shows for over the top sweet 16s, but not then), but he made my job easier during a very difficult time, post 9/11. For this reason, we went back for our daughter's wedding, held on 5/5/12. Different events coordinator, and it made all the difference in our experience, and not for the better. We were now planning this event via long distance, and I needed very professional, responsive vendors to get through the planning process smoothly despite the distance. Bruce was the only one who did not fully cooperate, creating additional work and stress for me. Ultimately, the guests were none the wiser, raving about every detail, and I never expected anything less, but I credit my other wonderful vendors, the B&G, and myself for that. For example, a big sticking point we had right up to the day before the wedding was the fact that we had table names instead of numbers. I had told him this plan months before, and as time got closer and I was giving him email updates about meeting the various deadlines for everything, including that the tables had been arranged and named, I still got no response. Two weeks before the wedding, we met for the finalizations, and it was then that he told me that it would be 'easier for him and his staff to seat our guests if we glued number stickers' to my handcrafted table namecards. I insisted on the namecards as they were, since there were only 8 tables total, I didn't believe it would be that difficult, and with all the other snags we were having by that point, I needed to establish that we were the clients and not the other way around. When we arrived the day before the wedding, we actually found his table numbers on our tables instead! At that point we took over and made all the changes ourselves disregarding his annoyance at our early presence when he arrived an hour later. The day of the wedding, despite our seat chart that was cross checked with our guest list with table assignments, there were still 2 table with 4 too many chairs on each. And there were several other issues as well. He kept forgetting this was a Marriage Celebration, not a wedding, since the kids had gotten married the year before - right up until the day of our reception when he tried to put them in separate 'boy/girl' rooms during the cocktail hour LOL! We had to insist that the cookies advertised for the venetian hour be provided when he stated they would not be setting them out. He should have sent me an updated menu so that we didn't have to redo the entire thing at our final meet because I had made all the selections based on an old menu. He never sent me all my floor plan choices for an 8 table set up, which also necessitating a last minute redo. Because of all the issues and things that had to be REdone on the spot at the final meet, that meeting took almost 3 hours, on a day we'd travelled the distance from where we live to hold final meets with all of our vendors. If you want a traditional or standardized event with all the decisions made for you, I'm sure everything will run fairly smoothly. However, if you have anything remotely offbeat, creative, unique, or different planned, or you just have your own ideas, think twice.

ce is the man! We would have not been able to pull half of our wedding's success if not for Bruce. We planned our wedding in 3 weeks, with his team and his vendors we had a fabulous wedding with all the trimmings. Highly recommended.
