    Amazing, beautiful, best wedding!!!

    Had my dream wedding thanks to the Brownstone! We hired Denise as our planner through the venue itself. She was amazing and made our day PERFECT. The brownstone is a beautiful out of this world venue. We didn't feel the need to splurge on crazy amounts of flowers or decor because the venue itself was so beautiful! The food was amazing. Every guest was truly impressed. So thankful that we did our wedding here!

    Best Wedding Venue We Could Dream Of!

    The Brownstone was simply amazing! Tommy was so accommodating and made sure we got everything we wanted. The service for both us and the guests were exceptional, and the food was incredible. We got many compliments from our guests, who said they would remember our wedding forever. We could not have asked for better service, food, or a better setting to have our wedding reception.

    The BEST food, amazing atmosphere and friendly attentive staff!

    Beautiful wedding venue with the MOST amazing food, service, and ambience ever! My guests are still buzzing, most are from NY and they know good food, let me tell you they were raving not only about how good the food was, but they could not get over the amount and the portion sizes! You can not get better, the rooms are all beautiful you can tell they really keep up with updating and keeping everything new and elegant! They have beautiful areas outside where you can take pictures. They gave me a bridal attendant, Rose and she was phenomenal, she was actually doing my bustle in the middle of cocktail hour so i didn't miss a beat, she was so nice and always there for me the entire night, the same goes for our Maitre D', Gary, he was also as equally amazing, we didn't have to worry about anything with him running the show! We worked with Tommy from the beginning and he was great, anything we wanted he was going to make it happen, and he did! I wish we could do the wedding all over again, the night was perfect and that's largely because of the Brownstone and their amazing staff! Thank you!

    Simply Amazing! Hands down the best experience one could ask for!

    Where do I begin? The brownstone, and Al helped to make our wedding unforgettable. From the very beginning, Al was always so responsive with any questions or concerns I may of had. First look around and meeting, we were sold. The venue is beautiful, the food is AMAZING, and the staff are all so accommodating. Al, and the staff made sure every detail was taken care of, and my wedding went off without a hitch! I would absolutely recommend having ones wedding, or truly any event at the brownstone. You will not be disappointed.

    From planning to the wedding itself the brownstone cannot be beaten. Albert was such a pleasure to work with. We took his advice in terms of guest amount, food options, and even church location and couldn’t be happier with our decision. Our cocktail hour was out of this world. Our friends and family are taking about it still weeks later. Gary and Mina, the captains, made sure my husband and I not only ate but also got to try every single item. They kept us well hydrated too! We were able to bring some extra food home. My bridemaids said their biggest regret was not asking to take more doggie bags. I will recommend The Brownstone to every single engaged couple!!!

    I recently had my bridal shower at the Brownstone this past October 2017 in the Red room. The room has a lot of charm and is so pretty once it was all set up for the bridal shower. We had a fantastic time that day. The food was plentiful and overall delicious. The staff at the Brownstone was so helpful throughout the event and the service was terrific. We had about 40 guests at the shower and many of them raved about the food and how it was one of the best showers they’ve been to. Another great thing about this venue is that they offer all inclusive packages that cover all food with options for different liquor packages, which is not as easy to find in NJ for a shower as you would think. Overall we had an amazing time! I would also recommend this venue for a small or large wedding, as there are multiple rooms available for parties of all sizes and each room is unique in its own way. Fantastic job!

    We had a magical day. It was perfect in every way. Albert Manzo did an amazing job for our cocktail hour and reception. Everyone loved the courtyard and the Grand Conservatory Room. It was absolutely stunning! I had many compliments on the venue by our guests.

    Couldn't have asked for a better venue/ place/ food/staff/ experience. From meeting Tommy, to reviewing menues, picking out the cake, food tasting, place card drop off to the big day (March 11, 2017) was great! Unfortunately it was the coldest day of the year - fortunately I called over since we had to cancel outdoor photos and asked if we could head straight to them. They said yes and welcomed us all with open arms. 225 guest and 4 different vendors they managed us amazingly and the food was out of this world!

    We got married at the Brownstone around three weeks ago. If I could go back and book with the Brownstone I would. They are amazing, Albert was amazing. They really work with you in any of your questions and also are very attentive. It was the one of the best experiences of my life. The food was outstanding, all our guest were so happy. Not to mention the cocktail hour which was glorious. All our guest were impressed at how beautiful the Brownstone was inside and out. Price is good and really work with your budget. Don't hesitate to speak Albert or any of their staff, everyone there is lovely.

    If I could give the Brownstone 100 stars I would. Everything about our wedding night was flawless! Food was delicious, service was amazing, our banquet coordinator Scott was the best, and our maitre d' made sure everything was executed perfectly.

    I can't thank the Brownstone enough for helping us have the most incredible wedding. The food was phenomenal - All our guest were raving about how amazing it was, from the cocktail hour, to the buffet style dinner to the incredible Venetian hour - fresh hot apple cinnamon doughnuts are a must!

    Tommy and Albert were incredible helpful, patient and accommodating. I made my own centerpieces and had lots of instructions on how they should be set up the day of the wedding. I was very nervous on how it would all turn out but everything was perfect. They followed my instructions to the letter and everything looked better than I could have imagined.

    The bartenders were great! Denise, my bridal assistant did a wonderful job taking care of my husband and I and Gary the maitre d was on point and kept everything flowing and helped make sure we were happy all night!

    We love the Brownstone and will definitely be having another event here!

    My husband and I reached out to and visited numerous venues for our NYE wedding and came across The Brownstone thanks to relatives who had previously attended events that were held there. Albert Manzo made us feel welcomed and was reassuring explaining how we could have a spectacular wedding within our budget! We were sold both on his promise as well as the breathtaking building and grounds that offered a beautiful and warm atmosphere. The planning process was hassle-free thanks to Mr. Manzo's knowledge and experience, his guidance was instrumental and made our wedding day a huge success! The food was delectable, the service was outstanding and everyone had an amazing time, Mr. Manzo kept his word. I also have to give a huge thanks to both our MatreD(Gregory) and my bridal attendants (Johnna & Denise) who made sure Tom and I had everything we needed from drinks to food, even my change of shoes and a card box we had accidentally left behind! The Brownstone is certainly a top-notch venue and I can't wait to have another reason to host an event there, as I want to relive our experience again and again :)

    Not only was the staff super friendly and amazing, the venue is gorgeous, and they had everything set the way that I had asked. They catered to my guests with special eating habits, and Mr. Manzo was wonderful to work with. The food is incredible! We went back the following morning for brunch and it was great. I would absolutely host something additional there in the future.

    Words can't express how grateful we are to the entire staff who worked our wedding celebration on June 27th. We hosted an outdoor wedding under a tent during torrential rains. However, you wouldn't even know that the weather was poor because the staff stepped it up and made sure everyone was fed, had a drink in hand and a smile on their faces throughout the evening. Tino and his staff worked exceptionally hard to make our night perfect...and they succeeded greatly! I definitely recommend using The Brownstone for your next catered event.

    The Brownstone has, hands down, the best food you will ever eat at a wedding. They worked with us to craft a cocktail reception and buffet dinner menu that had something for everyone, including vegetarian, gluten free and kids options. They also were able to accommodate a member of our wedding party who had severe food allergies. I highly recommend the short ribs, the suckling pig, and the zeppole. And our cake? Many options for style, cake and filling, and ours was delicious. On our wedding day the staff could not have been more helpful, bringing us drinks and snacks to the bridal suite while we got ready. During the reception, the staff made sure I had plates of food,desserts and drinks brought to me wherever I was mingling, so I was the odd bride who actually got to eat. On top of the food, the venue is beautifully decorated and spacious. They worked with our other vendors to coordinate setup and were wonderfully professional during the whole process. Only drawback is that your guests either need cars, or you will have to provide transportation for them as it is not very accessible to public transit. But we coordinated t

    Hands down, the best food you will ever eat. Not one person left my wedding saying the food was "alright" or just "okay". The cocktail hour is what blew everyone away the most and I also heard the cake was the best wedding cake they had ever had, we went with the red velvet. The place itself is stunning. We had our ceremony, cocktail hour and reception there and it was the most beautiful wedding I have ever seen, but I am a little bias :-)

    I wouldn't have wanted to have my wedding at any other venue. They give you so much food for your money. From the moment that i stepped out of my limo on the day of the wedding, there was someone there helping me every step of the way. They were ALL absolutely amazing. The food was outstanding and they were able to accommodate all of my requests. If you want your wedding in North Jersey, I would 1000% look into having it at the Brownstone. The Cocktail hour was absolutely amazing and most of my guests were not left hungry going into the reception. My sister had her wedding there in 2007, and received the same excellent treatment by the staff. My wedding from start to finish turned out amazing and better than I could have ever imagined. The best part of it is that if you do not get to finish your entree, they box it up for you to take home with you. My husband and I couldn't eat much that night being that we wanted to dance and had to talk to a lot of people, so the fact that we got to enjoy the food the next day was amazing! I want someone else to get married there so that I can go again!!

    I could not have asked for anymore from a venue than what the Brownstone provided. Tommy was absolutely amazing and made so many accommodations for us. Him and the Brownstone went OUT OF THEIR WAY to make our wedding night perfect. They fulfilled all of odd requests (special German beer, different chair colors, shuttle accommodations) and did an exceptional job. No one could say a bad thing about the food, or the venue. I was hesitant to go to the Brownstone, but was SO PLEASED with how everything worked out. It was the best decision we could have made.
