The Westwood

s taken care of. Thanks Westwood!

y. It turned out even better than we expected. The food was REALLY good. All of our guests have been raving about it since our wedding. We couldn’t say enough about how great this place is! We’ve already recommended it to our friends and family.

nd helpful! The price is also what helped make our decision, way under 10,000 for 90 people and it was all inclusive! I would chose them all over again!

with the staff. They are so kind and friendly. During the planning process, Cindy and Cathy guided us each step of the way to customize our day exactly how we imagined. Some things we didn’t know what to choose and they kindly provided advice and direction. Joe was our Maitre D. We met him two days before our wedding for rehearsal. During rehearsal, we were like two deer in headlights. We realized we had not planned those tiny details in the ceremony. He noticed our slight panic and reassured us that everything was going to be perfect. On the day of the wedding, he nailed it! He was juggling every aspect of the ceremony, reception, and everything in between like a true professional. We think back to the day and are still shocked how perfectly he made everything flow. We owe this to the Westwood for providing excellent service. The prices are unheard of and the food is AMAZING! Guests still to this day talk about how great the food was at our wedding. Our wedding day was more than we could ever imagine and we are so thankful the Westwood made this happen. With lots of love- thank you Cindy, Cathy, Joe, and all of the staff behind the scenes for making our day so special. We HIGHLY recommend The Westwood to everyone and anyone.

process I was a very picky bride- visiting or contacting over 30 venues in the state of NJ. When I walked into the Westwood and sat down with ERIN WILLIAMS I knew I had found the place. I wanted a romantic warm late autumn vibe with an “affordable” price tag (does affordable really exist in NJ?) and The Westwood was it! We were married in the Lena Ballroom which is the upstairs of the Westwood. It features a beautiful piano and wood accents. It has multiple fireplaces and warm lighting. The walls are beige and mauve with many mirrors and wall sconces. I added to it by bringing in my own centerpieces which lit up and many many flickering candles. It was so romantic. Erin Williams at the Westwood was a dream coordinator. From the beginning he was so willing to make my dream a reality from the decor to the food to the cocktail hour add-ons , liquor package, ceremony arch, and every little detail. The his and her drinks he gave us were such a nice touch! He himself was married a month earlier than mine (in the same ballroom!) and wanted to make sure my day was as special as his! I brought in over 10 boxes of decor and favors on the day and he made sure everything was set up perfectly. He even appointed our maitre d JOE and he was outstanding!! JOE made sure the ceremony ran smoothly ; making sure we ate (even sending us home with so much delicious food bc he knew we didn’t eat!) . He put together a great rehearsal right before and directed us in every way we needed. He was literally the best maitre d someone could ask for. Oh and the food at the Westwood; can I tell you how many compliments I got afterward!? Everyone raved about the food. The stuffed chicken is delicious! The short ribs melt in your mouth. The cocktail hour had an amazing assortment of food including a carving station - yum!! I could go on for days about how PERFECT the day was. I owe so much of that to the Westwood. ERIN WILLIAMS, Joe, and everyone at the Westwood; Thank you for making our wedding day such a dream.

m telling you, as AMAZING as the food is here, you wouldn't believe the price they give you. Gorgeous in the inside and amazing rooms. Recommended this place to everyone I know. The people that work there go above and beyond for you. A+++

ted and we immediately fell in love with the venue and the staff. Everyone was very friendly and working to our individual needs. Our maitrede Sam was also amazing both on our rehearsal night and wedding day. He made sure everything was perfect for us. We would recommend The Westwood to anyone and everyone who needs a recommendations. I also would like to mention how ALL of our guests raved about how delicious both the cocktail hour food was as well as the main entrees. Words can not ever begin to express how amazing our night was all thanks to them!

eautiful and the food so so good. My husband and I are so very happy for having chosen this venue. I highly recommend The Westwood for weddings and other events.

hat your wedding needs are met and help minimize your stress. Cathy and Joe are wonderful!

very single question I had she responded in a quick amount of time and provided me with enough detail to my questions. Joe was our Maitre'D...when we arrived he was greeting all our Bridal Party then introduce himself. He was extremely friendly and professional. He was amazing. He went above and beyond to make this day amazing for us..... The rest of the staff were amazing too. My guests were all very pleased. THE FOOD was delicious! Our main meals were perfect! PERFECT!! thank you Cathy, Joe, and the entire Westwood staff!

eting with her and throughout the planning process. I called so many times with lots of questions and always wanting to make sure I was doing everything according to plan and Kathy was always so prompt in calling me back and never made me feel like I was that annoying bride. Our maitre d' Joe was absolutely phenomenal!!!! We met him the night of our private tasting and we clicked with him right away. We requested to have him for the reception and we did. He made the night go by so smoothly and the decorations were exactly placed how I wanted them. When Joe took me into the ballroom to get a first look at everything before guests arrived, it was so breathtaking!! I was speechless!! I would HIGHLY recommend Joe!! He made sure my now husband and I were taken care of the entire night. The food was spectacular and a lot of guests told us it was the best wedding food they ever had! As a bride and groom on a tight budget, The Westwood was the perfect place for us! You can have a magical wedding on a budget and The Westwood is the place to have it!! The night was so beautiful and I will forever be grateful to Kathy and the staff for helping to turn our dream wedding into a reality! Thank you everyone at The Westwood for all you did for us!!

glasses were never empty, and they made sure we ate (even if it was only for a moment) We cannot be more greatful for the entire staff at the Westwood!

s and I have had nothing but praise from all my guests telling me that it was the best wedding they have ever gone to and that is because of The Westwood. I will be holding all future events there. Great job!!! Great place!!!

ensured our day was one to remember. The food was absolutely awesome! Our wedding fed 120ppl the ceremony and reception all in one place for under 10k.

accommodating and accessible. The food was delicious and not one complaint from our guests. The ceremony was beautiful. Our maître D was beyond amazing. He was always willing to help and he was even a sound voice to calm us all down when we were freaking out or worried about something. There were drinks and food waiting for us in the bridal suite when we were done taking photos. I could go on and on about the service and food but the best way to sum it up was PERFECTION.

y of a lifetime. From start to finish this experience has been nothing short of amazing. The Westwood was the perfect venue for my perfect day.

area was very beautiful; West field park located very conveniently for photos (must get permit). We worked with Cathy which was professional, attentive and to the point. She addressed any concerns that came up promptly. The day of our wedding, the food was amazing! As everyone says, it went by too quickly. I would do it all over again. Worth every penny! Besos, Tiny Satisfied Bride

uests were very happy and my husby was so happy with the food!! I loved my wedding and they played a big roll in that!!! Love, The new Mrs. Leonardis

d all around great Joe the maître d was. All of our guests raved about the food and the service was impeccable. I can not recommend the Westwood highly enough. We all had such a great time! It was perfect.

venue was different. Better then any other venue we had seen. We visited 23 venues prior to visiting The Westwood. Needless to say, I am a picky bride. From the beginning, Cindy was spectacular in helping us plan our day. She spent an hour and half extra with us just on our initial day of meeting. She never rushed us, and answered any question that we had. The prices here are amazing for the value of food and service that we received. Our wedding took place in the downstairs ballroom, which is large and well lighted. Cindy even walked us through their kitchen to show us how clean their facilities are. From Day One, the feeling we got from Cindy and the staff was that it was their mission to ensure that everything went perfectly for us. I was definitely a needy bride - constantly e-mailing and calling with random questions. Cindy was ALWAYS quick to respond. I think the longest I had to wait was 24 hours for a response. Which is huge for a stressed out bride! The day of the wedding went better then I could have ever dreamed. The food was delicious. It is now almost a month after our wedding and our guests still call us to tell us how good the food was. Joe, our Maitre'D and Manuela, our wedding attendant, made sure that our day went smoothly and that myself and my husband never wanted a thing. Joe kept everything on schedule. The ballroom looked beautiful. The staff went above and beyond setting up the tables, serving the food, and ensuring that all of our guests were satisfied. I did not hear a single complaint from any of my guests. I would HIGHLY recommend The Westwood to any bride looking for a wonderful venue. THANK YOU for everything you did to help our day go smoothly.

lready felt like the place was something special. However, what set everything apart was talking to the staff. Something that drove me nuts about most of the venues we saw was the attitude of "We know weddings. Here's what you want for yours." The Westwood, on the other hand, was immediately like, "What do you have in mind? How can we make your day come true?" The Westwood staff prides itself on it's service driven attitude and years of experience. This sense of confidence, yet humility is priceless on a wedding day. They were also the best "one stop shop" I could find. They had a bakery that would take care of my cake. They had an in house florist, who would take care of centerpieces too. They also had an amazing catering staff! For the day of my wedding, everything went off without a hitch. I had a personal attendant who made 150% sure I was fed, relaxed, and just content with everything. She helped carry my train, clean off my dress when I accidentally stepped on the train, and just kept me calm through everything. When my DJ and photobooth had entered the venue, I didn't even need to really interact with them to set them up. The Westwood staff took care of all of the logistics-- feeding them and being simply above and beyond in control in all of the ways I couldn't be. Also, the food was something every guest raved about for hours and weeks after. Did I mention I got to eat, which is usually unheard of? The Westwood staff not only made sure I was very well fed but that I could grab leftovers in case I missed my meal! The Westwood helped me host the event exactly the way that my husband and I had envisioned-- a huge incredibly fun party filled with happiness, laughter, dancing, awesome food, and above all else love. Everything had that personal touch that made everything positive and memorable. The Westwood was awesome and I can't wait to make this my future go-to event location.

e very accommodating, courteous and responsive. Their wedding packages are really a great value and very inclusive. In terms of price, a great selling point for us was that they offered a 10% discount, per person, because my husband is a veteran. The day of the wedding they were great at settling me down after running late and forgetting items. The reception room was set up perfectly to my specifications, plus extra touches that I didn't even think of. Our maitre d was totally on the ball and was there at every turn to make sure everything was running smoothly and to handle our every need. He also made sure to serve us first so that we wouldn't forget to eat. Our signature cocktail was perfect and they kept the champagne flowing for me! The only complaint we had wasn't REALLY their fault. We had an afternoon wedding that ended at 5 PM. The next bride showed up over an hour early, so we felt very rushed to collect our belongings and leave. As I was waiting for others in my party to walk out, the other bride was walking in, and the brides seeing each other is a big no-no! I wish they would have maybe ushered the incoming party to the downstairs bridal suite until my party was completely finished to avoid that. I very highly recommend them; their staff is amazing, the rooms are beautiful, the packages are inclusive and very affordable and the food is plentiful and delicious. Every guest I spoke to was thoroughly impressed and had a wonderful time.

are just wanting your reception there or planning your ceremony outside of a church this is a perfect place to go.

to anyone. It is so reasonably priced and they do not nickel and dime you. You truly get your monies worth. This place is absolutely gorgeous and has a great outside area that has a gazebo and a fire place. It is great for taking pictures. We did the ceremony, cocktail hour and reception there. Everything was breathtaking. The workers do a phenomenal job of making you feel at ease. Anytime my husband or I would think of something, our maitre'd was already on top it. I cannot explain the numerous amount of guests that told me the food was amazing. I would not change a single moment of that night. They were spot on! I am so grateful to The Westwood. They can use me as a reference anytime! I already told my husband for the rest of our lives anytime we need to throw a party, I will be booking The Westwood!

ion and brought it to life. Cathy, Betty, Samantha and Dana are a few of the people who were absolutely great to work with. The food was great. Our guest raved about the food quality and quantity. The servers were great as well. They were very attentive to all our guests. The Westwood was affordable without loosing great quality and amazing customer service.

make my wedding day perfect. My guests spoke very highly of the wait staff and the venue. I would definitely recommend the Westwood.

k but still provided quality service. The Westwood did not disappoint! Now that the wedding is over, I was able to get feedback from a few guests and every guest I have spoken to highly praised the Westwood for their attentive/high quality service,the friendly staff, their decor, and the food (we did a brunch menu which really serviced those who had food issues. There was a little something for everyone. The Lena room was spacious enough for about 145 guest with plenty of room on the dance floor to accommodate everyone! Overall, the day was perfect and the planning process over the past year was smooth.

80 or above to share the space with another bride. This was not what we wanted. When we had our meeting at the Westwood and Cathy offered us the entire building, we were sold! Especially at that price. They offered us so much and more. Our attendant was absolutely phenomenal. So responsive. The food was awesome and our venetian hour was DELICIOUS. I cannot recommend The Westwood and Cathy enough. I am absolutely thrilled with the service and the venue.

ed it out. Boy was I ever wrong. I selected it for our venue immediately. Everything from the venue to the service was outstanding. I can't believe how they are able to do this night after night. They really know what they are doing and do a great job at it if I do say so myself. To everyone at the Westwood, thank you!

bout the outside. The staff were very attentive. From the beginning stages were we were first planning everything to the night of our wedding they were always available and helpful. During our Reception, we had our own attendant to assist us with whatever we needed. We also had a maître 'd who ran the whole night and worked with our DJ so everything ran smoothly. If you can look past the location, you will not be disappointed by this venue!

ay through to the gelato, there is no mistaking that it was a wedding of our design. It went so smoothly and was a perfect reflection of what we were hoping for. We are still getting compliments from our friends and family on how warm, welcoming and genuinely helpful everyone was. The food and service were both top-notch. They also keep telling us they cannot get over how elegant and beautiful the flowers (from Flowers by The Westwood), the ceremony room and the reception room were.

nbelievable. Everyone is still talking about what a great night

bride who wants have a stress free event. Thank Westwood for make our special day the most memorable day in our life. Ana and Dagoberto Duarte

what a great time our wedding was. The food was amazing. The drinks were perfection. They have the BEST maitre'd! Broken glass was cleaned up so fast that people didn't even see it get cleaned up. It's affordable but we were treated like VIP royalty. I wouldn't have changed a thing.

venue. Wow, words cannot describe how impressed I was with Cathy our planner and Sam our Maître'D. All our guest were also impressed and they enjoyed the food and the ambiance of The Westwood. My dad is very hard to please and he was highly impressed. This is a great place to host your wedding and it is super affordable; for what you get it most certainly worth the cost.

helpful. Cathy, the Director of Catering, went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect for our day. Joe, our maitre'D, made sure everything went smoothly. When I first started looking, I went to about 7 or 8 different venues, but I always kept coming back to The Westwood. The price per plate is unbelievable for the amount and quality of food you receive. I truly cannot say enough great things about The Westwood and would recommend it to everyone!

had our ceremony in one room, cocktail hour in another, and reception in a 3rd), we were pleased beyond our expectations! We mainly worked with Cindy, who was always available to answer any questions I had and treated my family and I like her own. She made suggestions and was right on point every time. The venue is beautiful and the staff was incredible, friendly and went above and beyond from the second we walked in until the second we left, and I would HIGHLY recommend The Westwood to anyone.

d make you feel like a queen on your special day!!! They made my dream come true.

middle of a busy street, but once you go inside you wouldn't know it. The landscaping and small grounds they have are very well maintained and welcoming. The entrance is very grand and the ballroom is breathtaking. The food is AMAZING. I want to go back there to eat!! We had great reviews from all of our guests on the food & service. Their prices are competitive and they offer a lot. Cathy was a pleasure to work with during the entire planning process. Everything I asked for was taken care of and everyone raved about our wedding.

e remainder of my favors which were supposed to go to several guests who were unable to make it. They lied and said the one bottle of wine we had left in the bridal room could not leave the facility because they did not have a "packing" license. This was discovered AFTER the maitre d told us he had "packed" it in our box when I specifically requested it (obviously because I PAID for it). I even heard the coordinator's voice in the background when I tried to address these issues and she had a secretary get on the phone to say that she was not available. The florist (flowers by the westwood) did not even have the decency to contact me when I left messages to inquire about bouquets.

great,the food was excellent and the seating was also excellent,Thanx to you and your Staff for taking such a good care of us. ATTN.RAMON &Mildred Ruiz
