Words cannot express how absolutely amazing our wedding at The Grand was. People are still talking to us about it two weeks later, and the words \"best wedding I've been to\" were stated by more people than I can count. The Grand's general manager Jason Baldanza was absolutely fantastic; patient, kind, extremely thorough, and willing to work with us to make the day personal and memorable. Our maitre d' Sal was so on top of things and made us feel completely taken care of. The food was phenomenal, and we'd highly recommend the Viennese Hour, our guests' jaws were on the floor when the saw the dessert room. The only negative was that I wish I could have been a guest at my own wedding so that I could have enjoyed it from that side too. 15/10, would recommend to anyone. Reviewed on 07-01-2024

We had our wedding reception at the grand in April 2023. We overall had a great experience working with them from start to finish. From the beginning, Jason the manager was always super reachable, always calling or emailing us back within 24 hours (if not sooner). They accommodated a major dietary restriction and allowed us to talk to the chef to make sure we were comfortable (only 2 out of the 10 wedding venues we looked at were willing to accommodate the dietary restriction). On the day of, Sal and Joanna were by our side making sure everything ran smoothly through the whole reception. 10/10 recommend! Reviewed on 23-10-2023

We had our wedding 12/30/22. We can’t believe it has almost been a year already but we had to come on and finally leave a review. We have been to numerous weddings since ours and people are still talking about the food and venue. We couldn’t have asked for a better day, Sal and Jason were absolutely amazing. They truly made sure everything was taken care of so we could enjoy the moment as a couple. We HIGHLY recommend The Grand and hope to go back as a guest some day!!

Run don't walk to book your wedding at The Grand!! We had the absolute best day ever on 9/23/23. Our Maitre D, Mark, is a true gem and I can't say better things about him and the entire team at The Grand. From day one, Mark was there for us, making sure we were happy and had whatever we needed. There was a tropical storm the day of my wedding and you would never know - Mark and team made sure the day went off without a hitch. It's also one of few venues I toured that have a separate ceremony room so we didn't need to just curtain off the ballroom. I've had family / bridal party members approach me after the wedding about how much they loved Mark and our bridal attendants. Similarly, all my vendors raved about the venue, how well the staff treated them, and how easy they were to work with, which definitely says a lot. If you have your wedding here, you will not need to worry about a thing. Multiple guests have said it was the best / nicest wedding they've ever been to and I have no doubt that's the truth. I couldn't recommend this gorgeous venue more! Reviewed on 09-10-2023

We had the absolute pleasure of hosting our wedding at the Grand and I must say, it was an unforgettable experience. From start to finish, everything was executed flawlessly, making it a dream-like experience.First and foremost, the service during the reception and cocktail hour was exceptional. The maître d', Sal, truly went above and beyond to ensure that every guest felt welcomed and taken care of. His attention to detail and professionalism were evident throughout the evening, and he made sure everything ran smoothly.Jason, who was responsible for organizing everything leading up to the big day was amazing to work with! He was understanding of any requests that we had and made no problems about the way we did things on the day of. Was a very professional gentleman and is always there for you when you need him.And let's not forget Joanna, who played a vital role in assisting the bride with her needs. Her dedication to making sure the bride's day was perfect was truly heartwarming. She was attentive, responsive, and incredibly helpful, making the entire process much smoother and stress-free.The Grand provided an exceptional experience that exceeded all of our expectations. From the moment you step through the doors, you're enveloped in an atmosphere of elegance and sophistication. The combination of outstanding service, meticulous planning, and a dedicated team truly makes The Grand a venue that stands out.

I can't recommend The Grand enough!! If you haven't checked out this venue, it's a must! The first time my husband and I toured, we were blown away by the grounds, the upkeep of the venue, and the attention to detail by the staff/manager, Jason. Any questions that we had along the way were answered, and taken care of, and we were always reassured that we were in the best hands. Our actual wedding day was phenomenal...everything we could've wanted and more. The food was incredible, the staff did an amazing job taking care of our guests, and people are still talking about how it was one of the best weddings they've ever been to.

The venue itself is beautiful and our wedding guests were blown away by how pretty and breathtaking the venue was. There are so many beautiful places within and outside of the venue to take photos. Our reception entrance, by coming out of the floor was an absolutely incredible, and a once in a lifetime opportunity offered by the venue. Our wedding guests were completely blown away and surprised to see us rise out of the floor. The food was also amazing. There was such a variety of food and add-ons that you can choose from. Our guests were raving about the food. The new bridal suite was beautiful and spacious, as was the groomsmen suite. Jason, the venue Director was extremely helpful, patient, and made sure that our day was exactly how we envisioned it. He was very responsive, and make sure that all of our details were implemented. Sal, our matre De was phenomenal. He made sure that we, as the couple, were taken care of, and that everything was running smoothly. He even made sure that we had a candle for our ceremony that we did not bring and he made it work and happen. We felt like he went above and beyond to make sure that we had fun and didn’t need to stress over the small stuff. The bridal attendant also made sure that I was OK at all times and asked if I needed anything throughout the entire day and night. Needless to say, at The Grand, you definitely do not need to hire a day of coordinator. The Grand staff makes sure you are taken care of and followed all of my criteria from my (overly detailed) wedding binder.

Courtney Rossi(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 22-07-2022 STOP looking further and book this venue for your wedding. My husband and I chose this venue before the pandemic hit. This venue (Jason) worked with us through 3 years of planning. It was well worth every minute of waiting. I have dreamed of feeling like a princess on my wedding day since I was a little girl and The Grand made me feel every bit of one. From day one, we have had clear and consistent planning and communication.During the day of the wedding it was absolutely seamless, breathtaking, beautiful, and we got to have the whole venue to ourselves. The staff including the two bridal attendants were amazing. From the second I walked in, I had constant support, a water bottle in my hand whenever I needed it, they thought of everything, fresh food and drinks ready in the bridal/groom suite, and just relaxation knowing that everything was going to be taken care of. They also took a lot of pressure off of my MOH's and mother which was great because they really were able to relax too since I had support.Sal was incredibly competent and worked Evan (Posh DJ), photographers and videographers throughout the whole night to ensure everything was on time, and he executed everything. My biggest worry prior to my wedding day was being stressed or running around dealing with questions or making sure everything that everything would go to plan. For once in my life, nothing was even able to stress me out at all because I knew the staff was 5 steps ahead and thought of everything. I could literally sit back and enjoy my entire night and just embrace my wedding day. For that I am eternally grateful.The cocktail hour was incredible, the ceremony was so nice even though it had to be inside. The entrance through the floor was unforgettable. The First dance with dry ice was magical. My husband and I had our drinks constantly refilled the whole night. Dessert was so great (especially the special coffee bar). The ballroom was decorated so beautifully and looked like a fairytale. The backlighting was great, the air conditioning kept me really comfortable in my giant dress. The sparkler send off was so amazing. The breakdown of the room by the staff was so helpful. We were able to pick up all decor, wedding cake, and extra food the next morning.Our guests have not stopped raving about the venue, the music, the food, the cocktail hour, the ceremony, the elevator entrance. I have heard 30+ times that this was literally the best wedding they have ever been to in their lives. I have heard about a lot of wedding disasters from venues. I will say after paying for this ourselves and saving for many years, I felt like every penny was worth the quality we received. You pay for quality, and you will not regret it.

Frank Firavanti(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 19-03-2022 The Grand is hands down the venue to choose for an amazing, beautiful, perfect wedding day. My husband and I booked weeks before Covid shut everything down in 2020 and as uncertain of a time that was, Jason and his team consistently reassured us everything would be fine and not to stress. When 2021 began we still didn’t think we would have the wedding of our dreams with the restrictions in place and without any hesitation Jason sat down with us, discussed all options, and supported us when we decided to reschedule to March 2022. Looking back now it was the best decision because when the day came everything was immaculate. The venue itself is gorgeous. The outdoor landscape and ceremony area are picturesque and the indoor ceremony area is just as beautiful. The cocktail hour is spacious and decorated with the most beautiful black chandeliers and has plenty of room for all your guests. The Grand Ballroom is stunning! Marble everywhere and all white walls give an elegant look, and you can choose any accent color you want which all compliment the space perfectly. There’s multiple options for a layout but all leave you plenty of room to dance all night long on a large dance floor. Overall it is a stunning venue that needs little to no extra decorations and photographs beautifully. The food … just wow. The cocktail hour has so many different options to choose and I’m confident you can’t make a bad choice. The pierogis and kielbasa were delicious ! The cowboy steak was top notch with some of the most delicious French fries and onion rings. It doesn’t stop there though, there is a huge assortment of different food from meats and cheeses, pastas, finger foods, seafood, and honestly anything you could think of. You even have multiple options for your dinner selections which were also delicious. The apple crumb cake with ice cream is divine for dessert. The best part and must to add on is the Jersey Diner exit station. Our guests still rave about the Taylor ham egg and cheese sandwiches, sliders,and fries. The smell alone when they start to cook it had everyone’s mouths watering. You can not go wrong if you pick The Grand for your wedding. Besides the amazing look of the venue, the impeccable food, the staff if OUT OF THIS WORLD. From the start Jason eased any and all stress about the wedding planning process. He is always available and answers every question you have. He goes above and beyond to make the whole process a breeze. On the day of I had THE BEST bridal attendant Natalie who was by my side at all times, made sure whatever I needed I had, and was just the sweetest person ever. Our maitre’D Chris was amazing and made sure the night ran smoothly. The bartenders were amazing and drinks were fantastic! Just an incredible staff hands down. We had the most amazing wedding!

Luellen Fawcett(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 11-03-2022 Where do I begin... The Grand is the ultimate package when it comes to wedding venues. We could not be happier with our experience. We planned our whole wedding from across the country in California and Jason made the entire process incredibly easy. It was like we were local the entire time. Jason was around for the full event on the day of, making sure everything was moving smoothly and we had everything we needed. The rest of the staff also went above and beyond to ensure everyone was having the best time. Specifically, our bridal attendant, Celeste was absolutely amazing. She made sure we were taken care of all day long. Our guests have repeatedly said our wedding was the best one they've ever been too. Some even said they were stuffed for days after the amount of food that was offered. The cocktail hour, the dinner, and the Viennese table far exceeded our expectations. And to top it all off, the staff packed up left overs for my wife and I to enjoy the next day. Which was exceptionally thoughtful as we were too busy to eat much during the actual day.If you trust the Grand to host your wedding, you will not be disappointed. They truly understand what it means to organize and put on the perfect wedding. The facilities are breathtaking that there's so many places for photos. We would do it all over again if we could because it was so easy and enjoyable! Thank you to everyone at the Grand for giving us the most perfect day! Reviewed on 15-04-2022
Jen L(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 12-03-2022 I got married here this past March of 2022. I have nothing but amazing things to say. First and foremost, if you have the chance you absolutely must meet/and or work with Sal. He was basically the equivalent of hiring a wedding planner and was available at any time to answer questions, give suggestions and went above and beyond to make our wedding special.The venue itself is gorgeous, my niece still refers to our wedding as \"the ball\". And honestly because the venue itself was so lavish and beautiful we didn't have to stress about DIYs or decorations. We went with simple flower centerpieces and the room did the rest. The next most important thing to us was the food. It was delicious and there was so much variety! Also would highly recommend the Viennese room, amazing!Planning a wedding was super stressful but The Grand and all the staff really worked with us along the way to customize things to our taste and meet our cultural needs for the event and actually delivered on all their promises. Can't say enough good things about this venue (and Sal) and neither could our guests! Reviewed on 02-04-2022

Lauren DiFrancesco(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 11-12-2021 Where to even start!!!! I booked the Grand for my wedding back in 2019 for a March 2020 wedding, I was 9 days away from my big day and it was canceled due to covid. As devastating as it was Jason was truly my light at the end of the tunnel. He was amazing to me, leading up to, during, and after. He took every phone call, every text, and every breakdown, always making sure I knew My day would come sooner or later and it would be even better then I originally planned. After 3 postponed dates I finally got my day! December 11, 2021, was a day I’ll never forget! Every single person at the Grand was phenomenal. I don’t think There is any wedding venue out there with better staff. Chris was my Maitre de, Jerry was his assistant and Karolina was my bridal attendant. Chris, Jerry and Karolina made sure I had every single thing I needed. I always had a drink in Hand, I was always asked if I was ok, if I wanted food, water, literally ANYTHING! They were just truly amazing and such a pleasure to be around, I couldn’t thank them enough. The FOOD…… I can’t tell you how many guests raved about the food! Everyone loved the venue, but the food is still being talked about. I heard countless times how usually the food at weddings is subpar, but not here, everything was to die for! (They packaged food for my husband and I to take home and they were right it was amazing!) Cocktail hour was one of the best I have ever seen (and I have seen a lot) food everywhere and I have a huge Italian family and that was a major plus. I’m so extremely happy I chose The Grand to have my wedding, I wish I could do it all over because it was just that great. If you’re looking for a stunning venue with amazing food and probably the best staff there is then this place is for you, just meet Jason once and your choice will be made. I can’t say enough about The Grand, I’ll forever be so grateful for every single person who worked with my husband and I to make our night one we will never forget!!!!!! Reviewed on 07-01-2022
Amanda Mercado(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 17-10-2021 Where do I begin? The minute I met Jason I knew I found my wedding venue. When my fiancé and I began searching for venues in August 2019 I was in crutches so walking wasn’t easy for me at the time. Jason took his time with me and my family and he showed us the entire venue making sure I was safe all around. After that meeting, we booked The Grand for October 2020.COVID came and once we realized our October wedding wasn’t going to be what we envisioned, we decided to postpone to October 2021. Jason was ready with dates and MADE IT HAPPEN! He made the transition so easy and we were so surprised because we heard so many horror stories about other venues (NOT AT THE GRAND!) Throughout the year, Jason would call and ask how we were doing and kept us updated with everything we needed to know. He assured us that our wedding was going to happen.Come October 17, 2021 our wedding day finally arrived and it was magical! Jason & Sal made sure everything ran smoothly and on time. They were fun and just as excited as we were. My entire family LOVED them! Julia was the best bridal attendant any bride can ask for! She made sure I was ok throughout the day and helped me with my dress, veil, etc. She also made sure my husband and I ate before our grand entrance! Everyone made the day as stress free as possible!It’s been 2 months since my wedding and guests are still talking about it! The food was amazing, the venue was beautiful & the staff were excellent!

meiki wong(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 14-11-2021 Wedding 11/14/21: We loved our entire experience at The Grand! We booked our day in January 2019 for May 2020 but COVID had other plans for us. General Manager Jason B. worked with us through several postponements until we were finally able to have it this past November 2021. The Grand never gave us a hard time about changing the date and went far beyond our expectations to ensure that we were happy through the entire process. Our guests absolutely loved the food, the service and the aesthetics of the venue. When we chose the venue in 2019, it was going through a transformation from its former name The Bethwood to The Grand and you have to see it in person to understand how beautiful it is. The entire facility looks brand new, because IT IS! The interior and the new garden is just under a year old at this point and newlyweds are going to be some of the first few couples to be married at what feels like a venue designed for the next generation in mind. One piece of advice I have for new couples is to have your DJ/MC increase the volume on the speakers when they get married. We had our ceremony outdoors and the water fall behind us muffled our vows quite a bit, to no fault of The Grand at all though. It was beautiful nonetheless but some of our guests couldn’t hear us. Thank you Grand for the most memorable wedding day and thank you Jason B. For the warmth, patience and friendship that you’ve provided us over the course of the last two years. We will always remember your kindness! Reviewed on 25-11-2021

When we booked, they were still in the middle of renovations and transitioning from The Bethwood to The Grand. We can not stress enough how beautiful the renovations came out. The day of the wedding was the most perfect day. We received so many compliments about how gorgeous the main ballroom was, how good the food was (so much food and huge portions!), and how great the staff was (super attentive, polite, and professional). The venue itself has some beautiful places for photos. The outdoor grounds were so pretty, even at the end of November. We got some really good photos outside right before the sun went down. When we originally booked, we booked with Olga, who no longer worked there halfway into the wedding planning process. I was nervous that things might get overlooked from when I talked to Olga, but I was quickly reassured that everything I spoke to Olga about for our wedding would still be included. Sal and Jason really do a fantastic job making sure you feel comfortable and confident in not only them, but the Grand itself. In the weeks leading up to the wedding, Sal was very reassuring and presented all options to us regarding Covid regulations and changes. I really appreciated that after hearing horror stories from other brides at other venues. Long story short, book The Grand for not only your wedding, but for other events because you will not regret your decision.

Izabel Malek(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 14-11-2020 To start, my husband and I are beyond satisfied with our experience at The Grand. To make a long story short, due to the Pandemic our wedding venue Royal Manor (sister-venue of The Grand) was unable to keep our wedding date due to new state laws regarding COVID restrictions. (After a long discussion, we made the hard decision to keep the wedding this year) Doug was beyond amazing in helping us keep our wedding close to the original date and moved us to The Grand. We worked with both Doug and Jason who worked with us to make our day very special. The week before the wedding, both Doug and Jason were absolutely amazing. We were in constant contact and they were able to make all the last minute changes (from COVID there were a lot). They gave us every possible advantage they could during the pandemic. (Such as setting up earlier-with decorations and backdrop, changing seating charts-even on the day of the wedding) They lifted so much stress off our shoulders. I highly recommend The Grand and Royal Manor to anyone who is looking for a venue. They are affordable (getting the most for your dollar), reliable (answer any messages fast and do what they said they were going to do), professional, kind, flexible and just overall amazing. They deserve more than the 5 stars. (Also, with COVID, they followed regulations to a T to make sure the wedding was the safest it could be. There was appropriate table and seating distance, all staff had masks and waiters were on top of their game in bringing drinks to the table so the bar didn't get crowded, plastic dishware (such as shot glasses) were used to make the event safer. Sanitizer and masks were available for guests). Reviewed on 28-11-2020

We were able to quickly switch locations of the ceremony to inside, and our ceremony went smoothly inside. We then had our cocktail hour in a large, newly renovated room. The atmosphere of the room was excellent for the cocktail hour and was big enough to hold all our guests and the seemingly endless amounts of delicious cocktail hour delicacies. They even opened the outside terrace bar, which overlooks the garden, after the earlier storm had cleared. It was really nice to have access to the cocktail hour room and the terrace bar/garden during our cocktail hour. The reception hall was stunning. We were able to fit 16 tables, a full band, a DJ, and all of our guests still had more than enough room to dance all night. The staff at the Grand Bethwood were incredibly helpful and made sure we got everything we wanted. Our event planner, Jason, helped to coordinate our event and made sure our plan was followed through to perfection. He helped us pick out the best food for the cocktail hour, gave us stellar recommendations on how to organize our tables and flowers, and even made sure all the personal touches we wanted were included in our ceremony and reception. Sal and Julie were excellent maître des and made sure both my wife and I were well taken care of. The entire staff was exceptionally friendly and helpful.

Our guests couldn't stop raving about the quality and quantity of the food, as well as the outstanding service. And even when I had a mini meltdown right before the wedding regarding all of the unforeseen construction going on outside the property, Jason managed to ease my worries and give me a little extra something at the cocktail hour!

Kristen McClurg(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 23-07-2016 I don't even know where to begin! From the very first appointment with the Bethwood staff, my husband and I fell in love. We were treated like royalty and Jason and all of the staff have now become part of our family. We had the absolute \"dream team\" on the day of our wedding- Jason, Captain Carlos, and Joanna. They guided us through every step of the way, from the first appointment, to picking things up the morning after. We sat in awe during dinner and just watched everything that was going on and tried to soak it all in. It was the most magical, amazing day. Their attention to detail did not go unnoticed- anything and everything that we hinted at or could have asked for was there the day of our wedding. I had what I thought were a lot of \"silly questions\" but Jason never flinched. He was very patient, kind, and helpful. He always responded with \"not a problem\" or \"I'll figure it out.\" He even found a way to give us a \"Smores Bar for dessert!\" When I had a concern about lighting or decor that was in the room when we took our tour but was no longer there as we got closer to our big day, he had different décor/lightning reinstalled for me for the night of our wedding- all at no cost to me. Not only were they affordable (great for large weddings!), the food and cake were delicious (they even tweaked the menu for us based on what we tried at their complimentary brunch) and all of our guests agreed! Most importantly the entire Bethwood staff (no matter who you work with) makes you feel apart of the family, they are always looking out for you and your guests. They are very sweet, helpful, and are always willing to respond to calls & emails within 1-2 days, if not hours. We still have guests telling us how wonderful the food was, how amazing all of the staff were, and what an unforgettable time they had! We cannot wait to go back and visit! We definitely HIGHLY recommend The Bethwood to everyone who would like to have their fairy-tale ever after wedding (in a castle type building too!) Please ask us if you have any specific questions- we would be so happy to answer them! Best of luck!!

Not only was it very affordable, but it was top notch in every aspect. They have been doing weddings for decades and YOU CAN TELL based on the level of service you get from them. Manager Steve has been our co-pilot since the first day we booked with the Bethwood. He helped with every detail and provided excellent customer service. He even stepped in the day of the wedding to help with a last minute emergency (nothing to do with the venue - but one of our vendors), he made some calls and saved the day!

We recently had our wedding there and we are more than convinced that we made the right decision when we signed that contract. Even though we walked into the Bethwood without an appointment, the one lady at the office was able to get us to talk to a very kind man named Steve Goodman. Steve was extremely nice, he showed us the facilities, he gave us different options and explained pricing in detail (not to mention that he was very funny) . Other people worth mentioning due to their kindness and professionalism are Jason and Carlos who were there to make our ceremony and reception truly unforgettable. I also like to mention that the pricing was very reasonable considering everything that it included (cake, food, beverages, ice sculpture, chair bows, free night at a local hotel and much more).

Tara& Query(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 05-07-2014 The Bethwood's experience as an event venue makes them a very valuable resource and partner when planning an event. I had my wedding at the Bethwood and it was the most amazing and perfect experience. Everything was top notch. Jason Baldanza was a major contributor to the success of my wedding - I would not have changed a thing. I bombarded Jason with emails and calls and he answered every single question I had, gave me great advice and brought up important aspects I hadn't thought of and would have completely overlooked. Everything about the Bethwood is amazing and wonderful - each room is elegant, tastefully decorated and extremely well maintained - they only additional decoration I brought were my centerpieces, which was not only convenient but also economical; the rooms vary in size making the Bethwood perfect for ANY size and type of event; they have an abundance of private suites, each in a different style to accommodate anyone's and everyone's style preference; the staff are extremely helpful, responsive and friendly - the Bethwood really has cultivated an outstanding group of people - throughout my wedding they attended to every guest with such extreme promptness I received at least 10 comments on how great they were throughout the night; the food is DELICIOUS - any doubts or questions can be easily answered/resolved by attending one of their Sunday brunches that will blow you away.

tara rossano(bride)4 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 14-06-2014 Although my husband and I missed most of the wedding, which is to be expected, all of our guests had a great time. The ceremony took place in the gardens which was beautiful. The food for cocktail hour and reception was good and the space and the way they set it up was just how I wanted it. The only downside was that I requested a specific liquor a week before because I had open bar and knew most of my guests drank that and was told by the maître d that it would be ordered and taken care of. Turns out for 140 guests there were 2 bottles and the bar ran out after 2 hrs. So the guests were pretty bummed out about it. Also instead of place cards I gave a seating chart in which the maître d was suppose to seat the guests yet I was told by numerous guests including my mother and father that the staff nor maître d knew where anyone was suppose to sit so I was disappointed in that because the seating chart in alphabetical order which they requested took me so long to do yet it wasn't followed so it was almost like a waste of time. Other then those 2 things. My husband and I were happy with everything and even happier that the wedding is finally over. Now on to married life! Reviewed on 01-07-2014
Diane Lebo(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 24-05-2014 We used The Bethwood for both our ceremony and our reception and I am so glad we did. They know what they're doing and they take care of everything. \r\rOur Maitre D was Steve R. He is a great guy to work with and he was always available to work with us. We met with him at least once or twice every month up until our wedding month, when we probably talked with him every other day. He was extremely patient and did everything he could to get what we wanted.\r\rMy bridesmaids and I arrived at The Bethwood at 10AM to get ready. The Bethwood has several rooms available for the wedding party to get ready in. We took one of the rooms on the top floor so there wouldn't be any chance of my husband and me seeing each other before the ceremony (we went very traditional). We had the room to ourselves all day and it was perfect for getting ready. We had plenty of room to get hair and makeup done, get dressed, eat (we brought sandwiches) and drink mimosas. The photographer was also able to get some great images in there because of the stained glass windows.\r\rThe only way I could get my husband to agree to an outdoor wedding was to find a place where we could have a backup plan for an indoor wedding. The Bethwood gave us exactly that - they blocked off both the beautiful outdoor garden and the indoor chapel for us. \r\rOn my wedding day, it rained off and on all day. About 15 minutes before our wedding was suppose to take place, they strongly encouraged me to move indoors. When I saw the rain pick up again, I decided they were absolutely right. I was a little disappointed that we couldn't use the garden (it is really gorgeous), but I couldn't be happier with how everything turned out. \r\rOnce everyone was inside the chapel and our flowers were in place and the music was playing, the chapel was better than perfect. The chapel doesn't look like much when there's no one in there, but once it fills up and the sun comes through the stained glass, it is a wonderful place to get married.\r\rAfter our wedding, the weather cleared up and we moved into the gardens for pictures. We got the best of both worlds with the indoor wedding and the outdoor photos.\r\rAs for the reception, we chose the Madrid room because the room for the cocktail hour actually overlooks the gardens. We figured the guests could watch us take pictures if they wanted. While we didn't get a chance to make it to the cocktail hour (which we actually turned into a cocktail hour and 15), everyone said that there was so much great food that they thought it was the dinner (which was 4 amazing courses still to come).\r\rWhen we were done with photos, we retired to the prep room from earlier in the day. It was so nice because they brought up some of the food from the cocktail hour and had a bottle of champagne waiting for us. My husband and I were able to relax for a few minutes before we joined our guests.\r\rSteve coordinated the rest of the night - he told us how to line up, where to go; he showed us how to cut the cake, when to throw the bouquet and garter. He took care of everything. We would have been lost without him.\r\rSo a few things I want to highlight, in case I didn't say them before - \r\rThe Bethwood is a gorgeous place to get married.\r\rTheir food is absolutely delicious and there is a lot of it.\r\rThe people working at The Bethwood know exactly what they're doing.

My husband and I were impressed with their service from the start—our coordinator, Steve Ranieri, was just so professional. We wanted to be married in the outside garden, and were reassured that the indoor “just in case” room would be available in the event of any last-minute weather issues. For the same price that other NYC-area venues wanted for a Sunday brunch with a limited bar, we got a three-course meal, crazy bountiful cocktail hour and full open bar. Steven responded to my random questions so quickly, and the answer was always that the idea (signature cocktails, practice time on the dance floor, etc.) was easily arranged. He, and The Bethwood, made planning the wedding so easy. On the night of, all our guests were impressed. Steve kept everything running like clockwork, which was no easy feat with our large bridal party of 19. All of our other vendors said The Bethwood was easy to work with, in arranging deliveries and setup.
