The Royal Manor Reviews

My wife and I got married at the Royal Manor on 10/7/23. From the moment we stepped foot on the property, we were captivated by the surprising scenery and elegant charm that this venue offers.
The Royal Manor staff were beyond exceptional. Their attention to detail, professionalism, and warm hospitality ensured that our special day was perfect. Carmel was such a delight to work with. Her diligence and transparency during the initial planning made us feel so comfortable, and she was so quick to provide guidance on any areas that we needed help with. Magda was an absolute star on wedding night as she stayed on top of every little detail and made sure that we didn't have anything to worry about on our night.
The catering services were outstanding. The food was delicious and beautifully presented. Our guests still talk about the amazing cocktail hour and dinner menu.
The venue itself is an elegant masterpiece -- the lobby, the ballroom, the outdoor waterfall fountain, the garden... Everything about this place creates such a beautiful atmosphere of romance and serenity. We have countless stunning photos that we will treasure for a lifetime, thanks to The Royal Manor's captivating beauty.
We highly recommend this venue to any couple looking for a magical and unforgettable experience. Thank you, Royal Manor, for giving us the perfect start to our forever!

I just got married here on September 2,2022 and could not be happier with this venue, the management, and service from start to finish. Truly exceeded our expectations. My husband and I had specific dietary requests (he is vegetarian and does not eat milk products either) and the venue was able to accommodate all our requests. They answered all questions prior to the wedding and ensured they understood our vision. Shout out to the incredible manager, Magda, for getting all the details! She was an absolute joy to work with.

The day of our wedding was so smooth and everything went perfect. Our bridal sweet had drinks already and our maitre’d made sure to bring our favorite ones up. All our food requests were brought up during cocktail hour so we could eat before mingling with our guests. Our maitre’d made sure we were happy and taken care of all night.

The food was DELICIOUS. I got texts all the following day complimenting the cocktail hour. Many people said it was the best wedding they’d been to. I was thrilled from start to finish! Thank you to everyone at the Royal manor for making this special day perfect!

This is probably going to be a lengthy review but after the great experience we recently had at the Royal Manor in Garfield, NJ. I felt that it was warranted as I wanted to include the details that made this event so fabulous.

On August 7, 2022, my daughter, Maggie, and her “former-fiance-now-husband” were married at the Royal Manor in Garfield, NJ. It has taken me more than a week to write this because I am still focusing on how wonderful the ceremony and reception were! All I want to do is look at the pictures and the videos of what I considered a perfect wedding. The staff at the Royal Manor could not have done more to make this lifetime event so great.

There are way too many people to thank since they were all remarkable but we cannot say enough about Carmel! Carmel basically managed the ceremony, reception, the food and even provided information on the local hotels which she visits personally before booking guests to ensure that the accommodations would meet the expectations of the guests.

Carmel was also instrumental with her assistance in selecting the items we wanted to include at our wedding. The “tasting” included delicious ceviche in champagne glasses, shrimp tempura and shrimp cocktail that were among the best I ever had (and I’m fussy), scallops, oysters, stuffed clams, lamb and a Mexican station, a Polish station, etc., etc.. And these were only a few of the items included during the cocktail hour. My daughter also had a margarita bar outside on the patio and a beautiful ice luge for the vodka. To top things off, one of the first things guests encountered upon entering the cocktail hour was a very nice gentleman who treated everyone to a show of making homemade mozzarella. It was fabulous!

Of course, I need to thank Kelly who was my daughter’s bridal attendant. Kelly was constantly available to fulfill last-minute requests and make sure everyone in the bridal suite was taken care of. Kelly and Magda, one of the managers, were bringing in pitchers of soda, water, assorted wines and lots of great ‘hors d’oeuvres to snack on while we all prepared for the ceremony. I never realized how important a bridal suite was but since we were in it for several hours, we all enjoyed the comfort of the cushioned furniture and of course everyone in the bridal party loved all of the mirrors. There was also a private bathroom and another large room with circular tables so anyone who needed to escape the craziness could do so and calm their nerves in peace and quiet.

We would also like to compliment the maitre d’hotel, Tek, who oversaw the various staff members who were working the venue that evening. Everything was so extremely well organized and I loved that even after the cocktail hour waiters were still coming into the reception hall where everyone was getting seated for dinner. I loved this because I was able to snag a couple of shrimp tempura appetizers that were incredible.

I cannot recommend this venue highly enough. The ballroom is huge (seats 600) and there is also another very large room where cocktail hour is held. Off of the cocktail hour room is a very nice outdoor patio with a bar. It is large enough so that anyone who wants to have the ceremonly outside can do so and it is a beautiful patio with a waterfall and lovely flowers.

Thank you, everyone, at the Royal Manor for making this such a spectacular event! Three or four days after the ceremony we were still getting texts from people who complimented the food, the staff, and the overall logistics of the Royal Manor. I am so glad that my daughter and son-in-law chose this venue—and believe me, they checked out several before booking. I can’t think of a better place to hold a wedding. The staff at the Royal Manor truly did a magnificent job. Thank you.

I’m so glad we chose Royal Manor for our wedding. They were very professional and made sure everything went perfect and on time for the whole day. They gave us the wedding we dreamed of and everything was perfect! I highly recommend using Royal Manor for your wedding. The food was delicious and everyone is so friendly. They make you feel so special!

My husband and I were finally able to celebrate our wedding at The Royal Manor (covid bride) and I am still at awe with how smooth and amazing everything went! Vincent and Magda were beyond amazing the whole night and the communication with Vincent leading up to our wedding was always prompt. We had 148 guest and not 1 person said anything negative. Everyone was amazed from the moment they walked into the door till they left- from cocktail hour, to the bar, to dinner, to our dessert bar. Any event we have in the future will definitely be held here!

What can we say? THANK YOU! Big thank you to all the team, specially Magda and her team on our wedding night for being there for us every minute of the night. You were amazing and did take care of everything without having to say or do anything. You guys are very professionals at your job and I would recommend you any couple. Thank you again!

Just booked our venue and from the moment we met with Leslie, she was so helpful and professional and reasonably with her pricing and accommodations. If you’re looking for this look no further this will be the venue for you!

The royal manor was impeccable with their service. I was the nervous bride with a million questions and the team at the royal manor answered all of my questions and put me at ease. When my wedding came they made all my dreams come true and exceeded all my expectations. My guests were in awe of the whole day. I would definitely recommend having the royal manor hosting your wedding.

Had a church banquet there during the Christmas time, enjoyed so much that we are having our wedding reception there.

My husband and I were overwhelmed with wedding decisions when we first got engaged. We randomly visited the Royal Manor because if you can believe it I had my 8th grade prom there nearly 10 years prior! Once we entered the building, we knew the Royal Manor was the location for our religious ceremony. Doug was our rock from the minute we did a food tasting to the goodbyes. He was sensitive to all our cultural requests, including halal food (it has been two weeks and my guests are STILL raving about the food), a huge dance floor for choreographed dancing (we were hooked up with an entertainment package through the venue), and much more. The day of, the Royal Manor team really stepped up. Our attendant Anna did not leave our side once. When I freaked out like any bride on her big day, she was there to calm me down. I do not think I could have gotten through this process without Doug and his team by my side. I truly owe my magical night to the Royal Manor. Look no more and book with them because no matter what style wedding you want, they can make it happen!

The royal manor is not only beauitful, but provides high quality service. Everything turned out incredible for my sisters shower. Angelia and her team went above and beyond. I can’t thank everyone enough for all of their hard work.!

We had our wedding here last week and it was nothing short of spectacular. The staff is professional and to say friendly would be an understatement. Their experience shows in the way the handle your event , from the white gloves to the way they truly
Make you feel like you are family.

The whole planning process was made so easy due to Douglass and the entire team at The Royal Manor. Doug made our entire wedding become a true fairytale. He took our vision and made it a picture from a magazine! We can not thank you enough. The food and serve was amazing! All guest raved over everything. Thank you again!!!! I highly recommend this team!!

We couldn't have picked a better place for our wedding! The staff was consistently working with us from the moment we booked, to the moment we left after our reception. Leslie and Douglas made sure to meet our every needs with the booking process and all of the logistical necessities. On the day of the wedding our Maitre'd (s), Mario and Diana, were FANTASTIC! They made sure that my bridal party, as well as my husband and I, were getting fed throughout the day and had breaks during pictures. Diana was my backbone on that day. She followed us everywhere to make sure we had drinks, food, and that everything in the reception hall was to our liking. Mario made sure the ceremony and reception flowed flawlessly. My husband and I couldn't be more grateful! They all did an amazing job! Everyone loved the venue, as it's so classy and they ALL RAVED about the food and service!

We have been to our fair share of weddings at a variety of venues. So when it was time to choose our own venue, we booked Royal Manor without hesitation. We knew from experience that the food is amazing with plenty of options, the dance floor is spacious for our party animal family and friends, and the bar can keep up with the big drinkers. We had pretty high expectations going in, but Doug, Pete, and the whole staff exceeded each one of them. Doug was open to our special requests, offered professional advice, and worked with us to guarantee the day went according to our vision. He was always within reach for any questions or concerns. The reception could not have turned out better; the staff was attentive to the guests, the food was abundant and delicious, my bridal attendant was by my side every step of the way, and the best part was that we were worry free. Do yourself a favor and book Royal Manor for your wedding venue.

The Royal Manor is the best. Our wedding was 08.10.19 and came out great. The Royal Manor exceeded all our excpectations. All our guests couldn't get over how much food there was at the cocktail hour and the vienese and overall how amazing the staff was. From the start we knew we wanted to do our wedding there after visiting a few different venues. Peter helped us make the right decisions and guided us throughout the entire process with what the better choices were and what he thought would work best for us. They care when they give you a tour of the place and explain everything in great detail and give a great visual of what to expect on your big day. Leslie would also reply to all my emails so fast and answer any questions i had. The day of the wedding Peter and Mario were great and on top of everything the entire night. Literally any time I turned around one of them was always there asking if everything is ok. They made everything flow so smooth and allowed me not to stress about anything. I will recommend Royal to anyone and will definetley do my future parties here aswell! Thank you Royal Manor for making our special day so wonderful!!!

The Royal Manor is an excellent venue to host your wedding reception. We held ours there and everything was fantastic. The venue itself is beautiful, the food is really good. More than anything else, they are truly wonderful people to deal with. Leslie and Douglass are simply amazing and will go out of their way to make sure you will have your dream wedding. You will not regret checking them out!

Beautiful venue and wonderful staff! From the entrance to the ballroom, all aspects of the venue are well maintained and clean. The food is delicious and the venue offers a wide variety of meal and station options. My allergies and the food allergies of my guests were considered carefully and there were no issues. The staff at The Royal Manor is helpful and courteous. They were by our side the whole night and made it a memorable event. We couldn’t ask for a better Wedding Day experience. We would definitely recommend The Royal Manor to all couples looking for their perfect Wedding venue.

The Royal Manor is a PHENOMENAL venue for a wedding. My husband and I booked the Royal Manor on February 2017 and were married on August 4, 2018. We went per the recommendation of a very good friend whom raved about this venue. Upon meeting the General Manager Douglas Walker, we loved his professionalism and very detailed description of what we would receive the day of the wedding. The Royal Manor exceeded our own expectations. The service, attention to detail, food was outstanding (might I add we are still being informed by our guests that it was the best wedding food they have ever experienced). We are forever grateful! We appreciate the entire Royal Manor team especially Douglas, Monica (the way in which you took care of me day of was phenomenal), Magda and Leslie. You made our wonderful dream a fantastic reality. Truly a job well done! In addition, I was not even worried the day of, you truly allowed me to enjoy every moment and the day ran very smoothly. We were in the greatest hands.

All the staff at the Royal Manner were very professional and very accomodating. My wedding was 6/29/18. We arrived 1 1/2 hours late to our own wedding(smh lol) and the staff did everything they could to make sure everything went as planned. Magna helped keep everything flowing and smooth. Jennifer was by my side all night assisting me everything from fixing my bussel, bringing food and drinks to the suite, packing and moving my things from one suite to another, and even packing my car at the end of the night. They were both great! The food was excellent and beautiful! Its a great place to have a wedding. They made my stressful and caotic day a very pleasureable and memorable one. I would recommend this venue to anyone.

My fiancee and I went to the Royal Manor on a whim. We had driven by the Royal Manor countless times, but for whatever reason we did not think of this place first when planning our wedding. Had we gone there first we would have saved lots of time.

From our very first visit we were impressed with the space and the service that Carmel provided. Throughout the planning phase they were very accommodating and resourceful. This was a HUGE plus, since I did not have a wedding planner. All of the vendors that they recommended where top notch and affordable.

Fast forward to the day of, their food WAS AMAZING (much better than the tasting). Even the "venue cake" was delicious as it was provided by the very reputable Palermo's Bakery. The food was only topped off by their level of service. Peter, Julianna and Ana were wonderful! The entire staff was very professional and basically on point all night. They also set up the tables just as I envisioned them, placing all the favors, table numbers, memorial table, etc as I had asked.

Despite not having a wedding planner all I had to worry about was having a GREAT TIME! The cherry on top is that our guests are still talking about the food and service! I recommend the Royal Manor without reservation.

The venue itself is beautiful but let’s talk about service. The staff ‘s number one concern is that everything runs smoothly , we even had the manager pop in very professionally to ensure all was going to plan. The food was great , they nailed the details! I expected it to be beautiful but they truly surpassed all my expectations.

Amazing!!! there was always a drink in my hand haha! and they always made sure i was happy and that everything was alright. the ceremony there was beautiful upstairs and the reception was perfect.!!!

Excellent service, accomadating staff, amazing food. My husband and I got married 8.18.18...
Extremely happy with the venue we chose, choosing a venue for your wedding day can be stressful, your final pick should be The royal manor!! Your guests will be happy, food is amazing and plenty of it! Thank you Royal manor! Thank you shout out to Doug, Carmel, Leslie, Magda, Ola....
