After over a year of searching for the perfect venue for our wedding, one tour at The Views at Mount Fuji and we immediately fell in love with everything about it! We had our wedding there over a month ago and I am so grateful for the level of care and professionalism that went into our special day. Planning a wedding is highly stressful, but having a caring event coordinator who is patient, flexible, responsive, and highly organized with great attention to detail, relieves a lot of stress and is an absolute blessing…and that’s exactly who Pia was to us! Everything at our wedding went so smoothly because of the attentiveness of the staff at The Views. From getting ready in the Bridal Suite and the Groom Suite (yes, you read that right, they have 2 separate suites for both parties lol), to going home with a bag filled with the food we selected for our guests so that we were able to try it all (and have leftovers), they have literally thought of everything to ensure your day goes smoothly, you are well fed, and you have the most memorable day. I highly recommend holding your event, especially if it’s your wedding, at The Views at Mount Fuji! The space is beautiful, the food is amazing, the staff are wonderful, and of course, I can’t forget to mention the incredible mountain views with the color changing leaves on a fall day.
The views at Mt Fuji was excellent! Pia and her staff went well beyond their jobs to make our day a dream day. Our decorator was not up to par and had it not been for Pia and a very special guest it wouldn't have looked as good as it did.
Thank you for mt fuji and team. My wedding was successful. Food was amazing, venue was very nice! Outdoors wedding on September 16, 2023. I had the best wedding. All of my guest are very happy. Thank’s to pia who is very professional and accommodating. If i would do my wedding again, ill choose this venue. And would definitely recommend it to everyone
We were married here April 2019, and not only is the location beautiful, but every single staff member was above and beyond amazing. From the owners, Yoshi and Nancy, personally congratulating us, to every white glove server somehow magically appearing without needing to be called – we didn’t want for a single thing on our wedding day!
Huge praise and thanks to Patrick Kelly, the Event Manager, and Bruce Werntz, the Director of Catering and day-of coordinator. Patrick dealt with the planning stages (and every anxious “omg what about THIS” moment we had) with so much patience and ease while Bruce provided such above par service it was unbelievable - going so far as to take his own cufflinks off to give to my Dad after he realized his had been left at the hotel. There are no words available to speak highly enough about the team at Mount Fuji!
Anyone looking for a place to get married this is one of the best venues that I recommend. From the moment we stepped in we were treated with white gloves top-notch service. The person in charge went
Anyone looking for a place to get married this is one of the best venues that I recommend. From the moment we stepped inn we were treated with white gloves top-notch service. The person in charge Was the reason why the experience was so great. He made you feel like family. This place is well run I highly recommend it. Juan Garcia
The Views at Mt Fuji is a beautiful venue! We really loved the Japanese architecture and tasteful themed decor. The staff were friendly and did a great job in setting up and breaking down the event, directing the guests, and helping us throughout our ceremony and reception. Pat was a most warm and efficient manager to work with! He was responsive, knowledgeable, warm, friendly, and professional. He really knows each aspect of wedding planning and were also sensitive to our financial and social needs as we talked through different aspects of wedding planning. Even after the event, he continued to remain supportive and responsive as we had some questions following up.
As far as I could tell, valet parking worked out conveniently and there was plenty of it for our 170-person wedding. Everyone was happy with the food and the presentation. The dance floor was fine for the size and the setup was good for nearly 20 large tables and a photo booth. We had to move the whole ceremony inside last minute because of rain, but kept the cocktail hour outside with a tent overhead. The staff were so efficient in getting this ready quickly and smoothly, it remained beautiful and the guests seemed comfortable as well. We didn't get to use the wedding arch affixed to the gazebo, but it would've been lovely too. The lockable bride and groom rooms were convenient to have on site, though for timing reasons, we got ready in a separate hotel room nearby. We rehearsed at the venue the evening before but opted to do rehearsal dinner elsewhere for variation. Pat was great in herding our large wedding party for an organized rehearsal. A few logistic notes, there is an operating restaurant downstairs that shares the bathroom with our event, so there were people coming and going on our floor, even though we otherwise have the entire floor to ourselves. Also, we didn't end up using the fog machine from our DJ because people thought there might be smoke/fire.
Overall, I'm really happy that we used this venue and would highly recommend it for other couples.
My husband and I have gone every year since 2011 to have our dating anniversary dinner at the Mt. Fuji restaurant. It wasn't until 2016 (during our wedding planning time) that we realized there was a downstairs space that was dedicated for Sunday brunch and special events! We were very unaware of this, since we thought it was exclusively for dinner. Already in love with the service and of course the views, I quickly contacted the event coordinator. It was a no brainer to book The Views at. Mt. Fuji as our wedding venue. We booked through Bruce and ended up working hand in hand with Patrick Kelly. However, I was concerned about having a wedding underneath a restaurant but that was no issue at all! I did not even realize there were people dining on top of us. The food was delicious and if you want a taste just book a reservation for their Sunday brunch, you won't be disappointed! Prices vary depending on the selected package. Overall, there aren't enough words to express our gratitude towards Patrick. He went above and beyond in providing great service and making our wedding day extremely special. Highly recommend!
Patrick (along with the rest of the staff) went out of his (their) way to make our day extra special. First, Patrick was patient with us in dealing with our communications via email/text since Almen and I now reside in California. When we were able to visit during the summer, Patrick cleared his schedule and made sure we all met in person, so that we can go over the wedding planning and see the place in person. Patrick was highly hospitable and really made us feel at home .... he made the wedding planning go smoothly as ever. On the day of our wedding, Patrick made sure everything was perfect - and it truly was!!!! He checked in on our wedding parties and guests to make sure we were having a great time. Patrick even made sure that when the main course was served, Almen and I were seated so our food wouldn't get cold. He even personally cut our cake while his staff distributed it to our guests. Also, he gave us an extra time to dance with our guests and I know (because we did) we enjoyed ourselves on the dance floor. Patrick went above and beyond in making sure we were all smiles that night.
Patrick, from the bottom of our hearts, Almen and I sincerely appreciate and thank you for taking care of us the way you did on our special day. We are extremely happy in choosing Mt. Fuji for our reception as you delivered our vision a million times better than we could have ever imagined. Thank you for welcoming us with open arms and everything you have done for us. We love you!!!!
Groom: My wife and I were recently married at the Views at Mount Fuji, and it was such a beautiful and memorable October day. The wedding planning process can be stressful, but choosing the right venue and people to work with was one of the most important decisions we made.
Patrick, the director of catering at Mount Fuji, worked closely with us to plan and execute our wedding. He is superb, with much experience in the industry, and we could not ask for a better contact to work with. The Mount Fuji staff were excellent, looking out for us, our bridesmaids and groomsmen, our families, and our guests, and the food was great.
We will treasure our wedding day at Mount Fuji, and we look forward to returning for our anniversary.
Bride: My husband and I are grateful to the Views at Mount Fuji for our very memorable wedding day in October 2018. With the daunting task of self-planning our wedding 14 months in the making, Patrick and the staff put us at ease as we settled on this venue. Patrick, the director of catering was wonderful and with his years of experience in the catering industry, he is the ultimate party planner.
As for the day of wedding , everything was perfectly magically smooth. The Mount Fuji staff were great and attentive to the bridal party and our guests. We had our own attendant for our bridal/groom suites. During the reception. Patrick was great in reminding us to eat and directed us for some poses for some good pictures. All our guest had an amazing wonderful time and ate very well.
I agreed with my husband that we will treasure our wedding day at Mount Fuji and look forward on returning to reminiscence on our amazing wedding day.
We booked The Views at Mt Fuji about 10 months prior to our wedding date. After meeting with other venue coordinators, we were thankful that we got to work with Patrick Kelly to plan and coordinate our event. He made the planning process a breeze, especially in helping us make decisions and providing input to help guide us in our decisions. His extensive experience with weddings, attention to detail, and emphasis on service gave us a great experience from start to finish! The day of the wedding went off seamlessly. After dropping all my decorations off earlier in the week, Patrick and the staff decorated the room and took care of all the details as I had requested and more. They knew that we didn't have any ceremony decorations of our own for the gazebo and they kept the beautiful flowers up from the wedding they hosted on the day prior. We got to use the newly remodeled lounge for our cocktail hour, which was a fantastic space. The views really are worth it! We had a dancing crowd, so a large dance floor was important to us and they delivered. Our guests raved about the food and continue to tell us it was one of the best weddings they have been too. We were so happy to have come across this venue in our search and were continuously impressed by Patrick and the service, the views and atmosphere of the venue, and value we received. We could not have had a better wedding day!
I got married on September 9, 2017 (also my birthday) at The Views At Mount Fuji. Our wedding theme was "Best Day Ever". It's been 2 months since our wedding and all of our guests and family STILL say, "It truly was the Best Day Ever!" Though our wedding theme set a high expectation, everything about The Views at Mount Fuji exceeded everyone's expectations!
The staff (which includes Bruce Werntz and Patrick Kelly) was consistently focused and involved in every detail of our celebration. They were open to our ideas and suggestions, while providing even better ideas and suggestions. Knowing they had each detail under control, allowed my husband, our family, and me to enjoy every moment of our celebration! There was no stress and NOTHING could have been done better or different. The food, atmosphere, decorations & flowers designed by Jovanni (I highly recommend working with her; she is incredibly friendly, personable, professional, and talented - her designs are truly innovative & sophisticated) ... were so perfect that our wedding guests are demanding that we do a "One Year Anniversary Reunion"!
Combining my Birthday and Wedding proved that The Views At Mount Fuji is an excellent venue for ANY celebration, but especially a wedding! The lighting, dance floor, views ... everything was so romantic and special! I cannot imagine my most special day at any other venue. The Views At Mount Fuji truly delivered on the "Best Day Ever"!
Truly a great experience working with Bruce for my daughter's communion party. The food was great, the room and the views added to the ambiance. We are still getting compliments on an amazing party. Kudos to all at Mt Fuji, highly recommend.
Mount Fuji is the right venue for any occasion.
Bruce and his crew are the best! From planning to the actual celebration is a great experience!
Thank you...The Views at Mount Fuji

Bruce and the team at The Views helped to make our wedding wonderful! Bruce kept me calm the entire time and answered all of our crazy questions and was especially accommodating with all of our requests! The guests were so impressed by the staff and how on top of everything they were! Would definitely recommend for any couple!
We celebrated mom's 90th birthday at The View at Mt. Fuji. The event was magical! From the first stages of planning to the day of the event and throughout, Bruce was hands-on, always available and his expert advice and support he lavished was beyond amazing. If you value careful attention to detail, if attentive, timely service to all your needs is highly important, if excellent food is also of primary concern...all professionally coordinated and accommodated by a caring, efficient, and pleasant staff, this is the place to book your affair. Look no further! Planning a memorable event can be stressful, but at The View at Mt. Fuji, Bruce and his expert team will make planning easy, smooth and fun to ensure the best experience ever!. Our guests loved the food, were awed by the beautiful view, and are still raving about the fabulous fun time they enjoyed at our event. Mom is still rockin' to Motown! Way to go Bruce!!! Thank you for all your hard work in making this event such a wonderful memorable one!
What a beautiful place to be married! Bruce Werntz helped everything run smoothly. Our guests loved the food and the gorgeous views overlooking the mountains. We kept within our budget without sacrificing anything that we wanted.
We just had our wedding at The Views on Oct 1st, 2016 and everything was absolutely AMAZING! The Views at Mt Fuji, is a magical place that needs to be seen. Bruce and his fantastic staff was there to help us from beginning to end and made the entire day stress free. Our guests couldn't stop complementing us on how beautiful our wedding was. The food was out of this world!!
We recently had our wedding at The Views and everything was absolutely perfect. From beginning to end, Bruce has been a pleasure to work with. We planned our wedding two years in advance and Bruce never forgot about our day, what we wanted, and other details. He made sure we had a perfect day and his staff was extremely accommodating to my husband and I during our wedding. He made sure we ate (which was much appreciated) and made sure that our bridal party ate and got what they needed as well. The food at The Views was absolutely delicious! We opted to do different food stations and everyone raved about the mashed potato bar and the carving stations! We had the time of our lives and we owe it all the amazing Bruce and his staff at The Views.
I always envisioned having a wedding a certain way. Being non-traditional, I was with my husband for 16 years prior to getting married because I always wanted my wedding to be perfect! After careful examination of different venues, on August 13th 2016, we took this step at The Views at Mt. Fuji. When we first saw the place we thought this was it..perfect! After a second visit, we just knew it was it! The views at Mt. Fuji is all of classy, beautiful, has nature and the food and the selections of food are just awesome! We had a perfect wedding and after the third day we are still hearing only great things from our guests about our great day! I am more than satisfied that we picked this venue.
The service was impeccable. Bruce made every step of planning my reception seamless. Super accommodating. The food was amazing. My wedding at The Views was an absolute dream!!!
The price of the venue vs. what you get in return is amazing. Nothing was spared as well. Food was amazing and portions were great.
We had our daughter's graduation party at the The Views at Mt. Fuji on 6/4/2016. The whole experience was great from the beginning of planning it and until the very end. Bruce, Director of Catering, made us feel at ease during the entire process. We told him what we could afford and he made it all possible. He provided us with 2 complimentary food tastings so we will be certain of the food choices. The BEST PART is during the celebration where not only was he helping us execute the step by step itinerary while we are all having a great time, he also choreographed some of the scenes. Not only did he supervise the wonderful staff, he also helped out in serving us and our guests with our needs. I have dealt with many Directors of Catering in the past and all of them stood by the sideline and just supervised the staff. Not Bruce. He was bringing drinks to everyone and cleaning up tables. He was conversing with our guests and made sure everything was ok. The Views at Mt. Fuji comes highly recommended and be sure to only look for Bruce. Bruce thank you for all the help and kindness. Extend our heartfelt gratitude to the staff as well ! We will be back for many more events.

My fiance and I decided to have a “Fairy Tale Forest” themed wedding. When we began to look at venues, the first place we went to was the Views at Mt. Fuji. Bruce Werntz gave us a tour and then sat us down and walked us through their entire process. Bruce said he would tell us things that nobody else would, and he was right. We went to a few different places and found ourselves right back at Mt. Fuji. We found the pricing to be aggressively competitive compared to other venues. For all the amenities you are getting, it’s totally worth it.
Our wedding day went better than expected. The views is a excellent place is you want to have your traditional wedding or you would like to have it there. They will accommodate you either way. But it’s a gem among the hills. Very relaxing environment, excellent food, fully stocked bar and the service was top notch and very attentive to our needs.
All around great experience that was truly epic. Bruce was extremely informative and helpful. We already planned on going to the brunch on Sunday April 16th, 2017 for our 1 year anniversary.
From the first time we met to discuss what was available, to the end of our event, Mt. Fuji was very accommodating and easy to work with. They took the hassle out of planning and executing our event. The food was wonderful and everyone raved over the appetizers. Everyone was pleasant to work with.
I had my wedding reception at the The Views at Mt Fuji on Dec 11th. It was hands down the best day of my life! Everything was absolutely perfect. My guest are still talking about the room, decor, and of course the food. What made the day most enjoyable was the staff. I can't thank Bruce, the maitre'd enough! Everyone always told me that I wouldn't be able to eat at my own wedding because it's such a busy day. I was really worried that I wouldn't get to try all of the delicious food we had chosen but Bruce made sure we did. There is not one thing that I had wanted to try and didn't, and I'm so glad because everything I ate was incredible. I really hope that I can go to another wedding at The Views soon so I can experience everything all over again!
We held a 60 person engagement party for my daughter and future son-in-law and found the Views and Manage Bruce to be very flexible in customizing the experience to our needs. the service and food was top notch and many guests commented as such to us during and after the event.
Please consider the venue for your special affairs.
Memorable setting looking out at the beautiful Ramapo Mountains. As evening set in, the lighting surrounding the windows illuminated our reception room in a magical way.
The service was outstanding, every wish and request was seen to. Bruce is a real pro and we were in good hands from the very beginning! I highly recommend this venue.
Bruce and the staff at Mount Fuji helped me pull off the perfect surprise proposal. When I showed up to make the reservation for dinner and told them what I intended to do, they jumped right on board and worked with me to make sure the moment was 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!
Very helpful with planning the event and making sure everything was covered. Bruce (the Director of Catering) followed up each week prior to make sure we were still on track and see if there were any questions we may have or last minute requests. 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.
Bruce Werntz, Director of Catering, at The Views @ Mount Fuji in Hillburn, NY helped make our Aug. 8th 2015 event a memorable evening with absolutely no issues or problems. The venue was clean, beautiful and every courtesy was given to ensure 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.

We had a magical wedding at The Views Mt Fuji. Bruce and the staff personalized the ceremony space and reception. There was a commitment to detail and to organization. Carolina, the server assigned to my husband and me was very,very sweet and attentive. The food was delicious and plentiful. Everyone had a fantastic time. Thank you to the entire team for making my dreams a reality.
Bruce at the views was so focused on us and only us that nothing could go wrong and it didn't.we received nothing negative from any/all of our guests.the views is a true polished gem.
It's in your best interest to take a moment to read this.On June 13th I was informed by my Bride To Be that it was very important that our Nuptials occur between 12:56 and 12:58 p.m.This is especially amusing because I told all 30 guests the ceremony 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.
My husband I just got married at The Views on May 24, 2015. It COULD NOT have been more perfect! Bruce, the maitre d' took such amazing care of us and our guests. We went into this with no idea what we were doing and Bruce was there every step 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!
I don't know if there are words to describe how happy my husband and I are with how our wedding reception turned out. Bruce Werntz was absolutely wonderful in helping us plan. He was patient,understanding,flexible, and really guided us step by 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!!!!
My husband and I had a beautiful and unforgettable wedding at the Views at Mt. Fuji on October 18th 2014. It was completely everything that I wanted it to be. Bruce was absolutely wonderful!!!He is very thoughtful and thorough. He helped us everything 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.
My wife and I just had a great wedding at The Views!! Our guests really loved the foods and services that The Views / Mt. Fuji restaurant has offered during the cocktail hours and the reception. The ceremony was performed at out door setting, and 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!!!
We got Married at the Views on October 11th, 2014 and we could not have been happier! Our guests raved about the cocktail hour and beautiful setting, the reception was perfect! The whole staff was amazing Bruce in particular was such a big help though out the whole process. Completely satisfied with how everything turned out.
Bruce was great, helped everything move along like clockwork.
On June 22, 2014, my wife and I got married at The Views at Mt. Fuji. We are both young widows and this was our second wedding. I had a very large wedding the first time but my future bride had a very little something in a house. I wanted to give 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.
Our wedding at the Views at Mt. Fuji was amazing! It made our day so special and memorable. I would highly recommend checking out this venue. Bruce was extremely helpful and tried to accommodate all of our requests. Food was amazing, especially 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!
The Views at Mt. Fuji is a beautiful place to hold any event. We loved the view and we were able to take some beautiful pictures outside. Bruce the catering manager was excellent with every detail. He made our daughter totally feel like it was 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.
The event went beautifully thanks to the attentiveness of Bruce and Yoshi !! They were constantly asking if we needed anything and doing anything we asked for , not that we needed to !! The food was wonderful !!!!!! The selection vast and fresh , 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 !!!
As we planned our daughter's Bat Mitzvah we sought a unique location offering outstanding food. The Views at Mt. Fuji didn't let us down. Our guests are still talking about the service, food and attention to detail. The catering manager, Bruce 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
We had the wedding of our dreams at "The Views at Mount Fuji." Everything was meticulously planned by Bruce Werntz, an experienced wedding planner who may seem over-confident at first, but only because he is so adept at his trade.
Both our ceremony 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.
A business is only as great as the people who represent it and the "The Views at Mount Fuji" deserves the highest ratings in our book. I am not the kind of person to usually write reviews but I will make an exception this time and take a moment 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.
My party was just that unforgetable, everything from food to service to the breathtaking view. My family and friends still talk about it, I highly recommend the Views at Mount Fuji.
I had my wedding on September 7th, 2013. While we ultimately had a great time, there were some ups and downs. Overall, I'd give The Views 3.5 stars out of 5, but since half-stars aren't available in this interface, I'm rounding it up to 4.
Pros: 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.
We were fortunate enough to celebrate our 4th child's Christening with Bruce and his staff at The Views At Mount Fuji. To say we are satisfied with their service, food, decor and quality is an understatement. This is the third time we have used 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
Working with Bruce was a wonderful experience. He was most accommodating and helpful with all our details—and we had many. Bruce set up our marvelous media selection that we brought to Mt Fuji for display. It included a number of large trifold 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.
The Views at Mt. Fuji is absolutely perfect for a wedding. I had mine there last year. The views are gorgeous for an outdoor or indoor wedding, the staff is accomodating, treats you like you're their only client, and are so friendly. The food was 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.
Every year our company has an annual meeting and celebrates afterwards with a dinner event. This year we chose the Views at Mt. Fuji and everything was perfect….thanks to Bruce! The place was wonderful, the food was delicious, and views were 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!
Dear Bruce and Staff,
Thank you so much for helping us plan and celebrate our big day. We could not have done it without you. Our special day was made even more special by you. Thank you so much for all of your help. Our wedding day was perfect 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
My wedding at The Views at Mt. Fuji was definitely a memorable one. From the very start Bruce was very accommodating, welcoming and knowledgeable. His demeanor ensured me that I was in good hands.
He was always available when needed and met 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.
The service was incredible! Very organize and Bruce was very responsive throughout the planning process, responding to questions and assisting with whatever we needed. He took care of everything and he did extra job for us. On top of everything, 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!
Bruce, Nancy and all of the staff at Mount Fuji were great to work with. My grandma used to work in Mount Fuji so I knew that it would be a great venue from the start. I had an amazing bridal attendant the whole night (Debbie) who helped me throughout 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.
I have been married over 2 years now, and I still have multiple relatives and friends that purposely pull me aside to tell me that my wedding was the absolute best they have ever been too! Everyone absolutely raved about the food, from the cocktail 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!
We were THRILLED with our wedding experience at the Views at Mt Fuji. We looked at many local places when choosing a venu and knew once we stepped into Mt Fuji that this was the place for us. The set up is elegant and the views are breathtaking. 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!
Jun & I could not have asked for a more perfect, wonderful birthday party! Thank you for all you did. Bruce you made it stress free. So many of our guests have complimented us on how beautiful our reception was & how delicious the food was Not 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!!!

I got married on July 28th, 2012. I had the best time at Mt. Fuji. Bruce and his staff is incredible. Bruce went over every detail before the wedding day to ensure that everything that I had hoped for would be accommodated. He went over the menu 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.
