Tomasello Winery

ive place that had good food and a beautiful ceremony area. Tomasello instantly came to mind because they make my favorite brut and has won awards for their weddings. When we saw the venue and met the staff, I totally understood why they have won so many awards. We walked away from our consultation knowing that this was the place for us! VENUE I dreamed of having my wedding pictures in a vineyard. That dream was very much a reality! I got to have the most perfect pictures. They turned out so romantic with the grape vines. The ceremony space was perfect. I almost felt like I got married in a secret garden! The ceremony is in the middle of the vineyard and feels so private and intimate. Our ceremony pictures were perfect, the pergola they have is the perfect look for the vineyard that surrounds it. So romantic! I really liked that the ceremony is outside, but the cocktail hour and reception are indoors. You get all the beautiful vineyard photos without worrying about heat. I think my guests were happy about my forethought, since dancing and eating is much easier when you’re in an air-conditioned space and not outside in 90 degree heat with 70% humidity (which was the weather for my wedding day). COMMUNICATION & STAFF Working with Tomasello was so effortless. They made it easy to plan everything. They emailed all the wedding planning information with detailed explanations and directions. Any question my husband and I had was answered promptly either by email or phone. Because of Dana, Lisa, and the whole staff, I wasn’t stressed at all. And that is a miracle in itself! Our rehearsal was smooth, fun, and so professional. Dana helped coordinate where all our alcohol, decorations, and dancefloor props went. We had a cardboard cutout of us made for our wedding, and the staff loved it too! It was their idea to move it around throughout the wedding so guests could take pictures or highlight something (like place cards and our dessert table). The Tomasello staff is chock full of the creative and fun people I look for! The day of our wedding, they were even better. Dana made sure that we, the couple, were always comfortable. We had the most perfect bridal attendant that day, Mackenzie, who made sure all the little things were taken care of. FOOD I come from a big, very food-oriented family. My only non-negotiable was the food quality. Let me tell you, Tomasello KNOCKED IT OUT OF THE PARK! Every appetizer, meal, and dessert served was 10 out of 10. I also really liked that they used their own wines in a lot of their recipes. Since 70% of our wedding was coming from out of town, it was nice to be able to showcase local NJ products and produce. My uncles all agreed that their Italian wedding soup was one of the best they ever had. We opted for a pasta bar add on for our cocktail hour. Let me tell you, I had at least 10 people tell mee that the pasta and sauces were the best they ever had. COST Tomasello’s pricing included soft drinks, wine, and food for each guest. They supplied table linens, chair decorations, and customized wine favors for our guests. We only had to purchase beer and liquor (which made it so much easier for us!). Their pricing is a value for the services and venue that they provide!

come to life. Me and my husband had the greatest night. The food was amazing as well, all of our guests couldn’t stop talking about how great it was. We danced the night away with our friends and family and I couldn’t have asked for a more special night!!

he staff was wonderful on the day of as well as leading up to our big day with answering all of our questions and emails. This winery has a beautiful vineyard to capture all your pictures, and my husband and I will cherish ours forever. Many of our guests talked about how lovely this winery was for our wedding and we could not have picked a better place.

ello Winery this past Saturday and what a positive experience! Excellent food and service and their attention to detail and assistance with all vendors truly helped to make a great wedding even better! If they treat vendors this well, I can only imagine how well their clients are treated. Thank you Donna! It was a pleasure working with your team and I hope our paths cross again!
