Think about it Picking your wedding venue is just the first step. Whether your big day is 6 months from now or 2 years away, you want to enjoy the journey. You need a venue whose staff truly cares and provides one-on-one attention during your entire planning process. It may feel like a lot to handle, but you don’t have to go it alone!

“I worked with them for over a year, and I can honestly say that I will miss them. For the past year, I felt like I was their only bride, and I know that is definitely not true! They are so attentive, and by the day of my wedding, I almost felt like I was home, which made me realize that I definitely made the right choice.” – Christine

Our aisle, your runway You have a style all your own – your wedding should show it. You want a glamorous outdoor ceremony on a perfect day. Sun shining, puffy blue clouds, maybe bright fall foliage or soft spring blooms. But, what happens when mother nature rains on your parade? We have you covered! We always have the option to move your ceremony inside to one of the ballrooms, even last-minute. We put your comfort above everything else because you came here to have the time of your life. We can make that happen. “The Crystal Ballroom did an amazing job with my wedding. I got married in over two feet of snow in one of the biggest blizzards in NJ history, and the staff at the Crystal Ballroom pulled off my wedding perfectly as if there weren’t a single flake of snow outside. Sure enough, the blizzard was insane, but my wedding was a dream come true! It was perfection.” – Mary
