The property also has a Grecian-style gazebo that can be used for an outdoor ceremony, first look, or evening photos.
We got married Saturday, October 14 and it rained (of course) but I can’t say enough great things about the Graycliff! We were planning on having our ceremony outdoors but due to the rain we had it inside in our reception room and the staff was able to quickly turn it around into a great party room! There is also a bus stop from Port Authority across the street for any city living guests without a car. Guests were raving about the amount of food at cocktail hour and dinner as the venue provided all of it! Including the open bar! The transition from guests arriving to the ceremony to cocktail hour and then reception was SO SMOOTH. No awkward waiting to be served drinks or standing around. Our maitre’d John was provided by the venue and he was EXCELLENT he made sure we were fed and always had a drink in our hands 😊 Reviewed on 05-11-2023

I don’t know where to begin with how absolutely phenomenal The Graycliff is. From the very beginning, working with Emily on everything made me feel so at ease and truly made me feel like I could put all of my trust into her and The Graycliff. The family that owns this place truly does an amazing job and makes sure everything is perfect down to the littlest things. The day of our wedding our maître d’ was John. To say he was astonishing would be an understatement. Anything we needed at all through the night he was there in a heartbeat. Their food is top notch and people haven’t stopped raving about how amazing everything was. Everything was perfect and I can honestly say nothing went wrong that day and I am so beyond thankful for The Graycliff and their staff. Reviewed on 18-11-2023
Alexis Fontanilla(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 22-10-2022 First off, the food was fantastic. The staff was first class. Went above and beyond not it’s for us, but for our guests. Made sure we had a beautiful ceremony. Got everyone in sync and everything coordinated well. The reception…food served well and everything tasted good, from the cocktail hour, dinner and of course, dessert. Cleaned up and put everything away once the reception had finished. Fantastic experience. Reviewed on 30-11-2022

Stacey Yankovic(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 12-06-2022 The Graycliff experience and venue is for sure something we are glad we went with. They were extremely helpful throughout the entirety of our planning process. Their communication with us was always timely and they made it very easy for us to visualize the day. From showing us the room we were going to be utilizing for the cocktail hour, to the room the reception was going to be held in. They gave us both the indoor and outdoor option and a walk through of how both would work. When we got the chance to do our food tasting, we were blown away by the actual spread but the quality and taste of all the food. They really do have so much to offer and will make sure that your wedding day turns out the very best. We want to give high praise and a huge thank you to our Maitre'd Emily. She was extremely helpful and went above and beyond for us the entire time. Overall, we highly recommend the venue and we can only hope that you get the experience we got with Emily and the entire Graycliff staff. Reviewed on 20-06-2022

We booked a year & half out & attended 2 open houses to meet vendors & see exactly what a wedding would look there. Cathy & Michelle were quick to answer any questions or concerns we had leading up to that time. They handled of all of our day of coordination & setting the place up exactly like we wanted. While the rain ruined our plans for an outdoor ceremony, they transformed our room for the ceremony seamlessly. Our Maitre’D John made sure that Randy & I had everything we needed at all times & went above & beyond (like cleaning the groom’s white jacket several times & preparing a special plate of food for flower girl).

Carolina Guillen(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 01-06-2019 We had our wedding at The Graycliff on June 1, 2019. We had a guest list of 200 people & our maitre d', John, was absolutely phenomenal. But let me rewind a bit, during our tour they answered all our questions, the owner sat down to work out pricing with us and that's the thing - he WORKED with our budget. The pricing we received for the service and quality we were provided was honestly a steal. They set up our cake through Palermo Bakery & we had such a great time at our cake tasting and most importantly our food tasting at The Graycliff. Everything they did for us was a memory that will last a lifetime, from the initial consultation, to food tasting to our very special day. John and his team went above and beyond to make sure our day was perfect and stress free. All my guests were impressed by the food, venue, drinks and service. I cannot thank The Graycliff and their team enough for making our special day truly memorable and a 5 Star day all around (even with the minor mishaps - which had nothing to do with them). I strongly recommend any and every bride & groom to consider The Graycliff for their big day or any event! They have a life long customer/friend with me and my husband.

Julia Sasimovich(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 28-04-2018 There are not enough positive words for the experience we had with the Graycliff! I’ll start from the beginning. My husband and I visited 22 wedding venues in the tri-state area and nothing even came close to what we felt at the Graycliff. Our first visit, we received a tour and met with Michelle - who is the sweetest person ever to deal with when it came to plan our wedding! She broke down the pricing for us, it was very reasonable compared to some of the other venues we saw. Working with Michelle made the entire experience fun. I am Russian, and my husband is half Italian, so we were looking for a venue that would accommodate our cultures - especially one that would provide TONS of food. Tony the owner was great to work with as well, they truly cared about making me feel like I got everything I wanted. They were able to swap out some menu options to fit exactly what we wanted, and they were even able to incorporate some of our Russian type foods. Day of wedding: Our limo was escorted to the side of building directly to the bridal suite, so no one would know the bride/groom had arrived. The bridal room was filled with food and the maître d was constantly around to make sure we had everything and to get us drinks. During the cocktail hour we went to take pictures, all the attendants escorting us were communicating via ear pieces to make sure it was a clear path to the photo location, that no one was there, and bride wouldn’t be bombarded with guests. It was all so discreet and smooth - as if they were trained government operatives! The amount of food at cocktail hour was ridiculous, and everything was perfectly decorated. It also wasn’t just filler decorated food, there were truly tons of DELICIOUS food options for every kind of taste. The pianist that the venue provided was the perfect touch as well. We had bought all the additional food options they offered, and they were honestly worth every penny. Dinner was great! We had heard from multiple guests that the steaks were cooked to each guest’s perfect specifications, which rarely happens at big wedding. No one left our wedding hungry. Dessert was amazing, the fire show was quick but well worth it! There was only 1 bar in the room but there were multiple bartenders and there was never ever a line for drinks - servers brought drinks to the tables as well. We had 120 guests, and no one was ever cramped. Michelle worked with me on table sizes to accommodate all my seating arrangement requests. The dance floor looked deceivingly small, but it was the perfect size for all our guests to dance on. The rectangular shape was also very neat and worked out great! As the bride, you want to feel special on your wedding day and The Graycliff did not disappoint. They accommodated the Russian traditions and had all the things we requested ready so that everything went smoothly. We cannot thank everyone enough at The Graycliff for the most perfect wedding we had! The whole day went by too fast and I did not want it to end. If I had to redo it, I would 100000% pick the Graycliff again. I wish we lived closer, so we could have more events there! Big thank you to Michelle, Tony and the entire wonderful staff and cooks at The Graycliff! - Julia & Matt Reviewed on 31-10-2018

Until the very last minute they got in touch with our hotel shuttle.... Amazing i wish i was able to enjoy the cocktail hour but i was running late....

Stephanie Perez(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 17-06-2012 We saw a lot of different reception sites and the Graycliff was the best fit for having both the ceremony and reception. They were very nice and helped us plan a perfect wedding going over every detail with great care. Because it was a June wedding other venues were charging $$$$, but the Graycliff worked with our budget and gave us plenty of options. They happily answered all our questions and made us feel at ease for the big day. The day of the wedding was fantastic and a breeze. I was a diy bride without a professional planner and the staff at the Graycliff took care of everything; I didnt have to worry about anything they set up every last diy project beautifully. We were invited for a full menu tasting and tried everything from appetizers to entrees before the big day. Our guests are still talking about how great the food, and cocktails were for our wedding. They helped us pick out the perfect menu for cocktail hour and reception,no one left hungry. Everyone particularly loved the cheese carvings and the ice sculptures. Our maitre d made us feel like royalty and kept the entire bridal party on schedule. The staff were very courteous and professional the entire time, our guests all felt like VIPs. We took amazing photos in their newly renovated garden area, it was the perfect setting for both modern and traditional photos. There was another event on our day and we did not even notice, it was like the whole venue was just for us.

I have gone to two weddings before at the Graycliff and the cocktail hour was amazing. The Graycliff provided great service, food, very attentive staff, and a great value for a budget conscious bride. The Graycliff's prices were affordable and the wedding package included the wedding cake and a projector screen for your personal montage dvd. The actual wedding day reception was flawless. They incorporated all of my details and at the end of the night they packed all of my personal items. I was really impressed with the staff and service. My only recommendation for the Graycliff is to review and acquire more variety on the main entrees. The food was good but the menu can be updated with more exotic foods. Also, the addition of the outdoor ceremony area is a great addition to the venue and provided a beautiful backdrop for my pictures. Thank you Graycliff for making my day a very memorable day!

We had over 300 people at our wedding and they were able to accommodate (literally) a busload of guests arriving 45 minutes early, serving drinks and putting out food right away. The cocktail hour was amazing, all of our guests (from jaded New Yorkers to our family from Ireland) were blown away by the quality and presentation of the food. Dinner went smoothly start to finish (putting down 314 dinners at once can't be an easy task!!) and the servers were extremely attentive throughout the entire night to both us and our guests. We opted for the Viennese hour for our desserts - again our guests and us were totally blown away by the wide array of desserts, chocolate foundation, and delicious coffee bar. \r\rWe took some pictures outside at their picture area - they came out beautiful as this is well landscaped & maintained. The bridal suite was open to us all night and it was so nice to have a private bathroom when you are in your wedding gown. \r\rIt should also be noted that working with the staff was so easy to plan the wedding - they have so many options at such great values. All of the items that I had delivered ahead of time (guest books, flip flops for the ladies room, table numbers, and other decorations) were set up to my exact specifications and the room looked fantastic. My husband and I both work in the restaurant business and can be hard to please, but everything was executed flawlessly. We highly recommend the Graycliff for your wedding!

She was easy to get in touch with and had all the answers.\r\rThe food was wonderful, though I personally didn't get to cocktail hour. They give you a lot of options for the menu and we feel we got a pretty good deal. They make it worth your while to go all out for the extended menu.\r\rWe had many of our friends tell us that ours was the more spectacular, over the top wedding they had ever attended. This is largely because of the vast quantity, variety, and quality of the food, including the cocktail hour, the multi-course meal, and the fantastic fire/desert show they offer at the end of the night.\r\rTheir package also came with an included personalized cake from Polermo's, which was great and I'll review separately.\r\rWe got a food tasting before picking our menu that was very thorough. Bar service at the wedding seemed to be quick (no long lines, no complaints from guests). We also used their exclusive in-house lighting team at Ultimate Entertainment DJs, which did a very tasteful light show the whole night.\r\rOur Maitre'D (John?) was also helpful, especially with helping accommodate a last minute wedding crasher.\r\rWe had only one single complaint about The Graycliff, though it still bugs me. They created two beautiful ice sculptures for cocktail hour. But there was a third ice sculpture that was in our ballroom, placed right next to our sweetheart table, that was very ugly. We agreed on a heart with our initials carved into it. The heart was nice, but the initials looked like a child hacked them in with an ice pick. Very unprofessional. We didn't notice it at first during the walk through of the main hall. But afterwards, people kept coming up and commenting negatively on it. And now it's in so many of our photographs; we would have been better off just not having it.\r\rSo, the food was great, the Viennese show was wonderful, the location was beautiful, the staff were very great to work with, the only problem was one out of the three ice sculptures.

I had my wedding at the Graycliff in May 2010. Everything was perfect. We had the larger room and had about 150 guests. Our maitre'd was supportive and wonderful throughout the night. She was never too close and never too far. The night flew by and there was always something going on. The food was absolutely fantastic. When we did our tasting we knew we did NOT want to miss our cocktail hour because of the many different food options. The crab cakes were my favorite and my husband who doesn't even like seafood liked them. Also, the clams oreganta! The staff was courteous and prompt with all of our tables. I even had the pleasure of going to this venue a second time 2 months later and STILL had a wonderful time at the wedding.

We had our wedding reception here, and everything was amazing. We were hooked at the tasting! The food is incredible and they even provided some special dishes upon request. They customized the ice sculpture (I hate swans and hearts - they replicated our color monogram PERFECTLY) and working with them meant we got a cake included, a delicious cake from Palermo's. We also got a great deal on the limo services (Town Limousine) by working with them. \r\rBook the Grand Ballroom - the Bridal Suite is much better, and a better, more dramatic entrance with the gazebo (and the DJ gets nicely tucked away into the other gazebo, out of the guests' way). And the fire show is spectacular, you've got to have it as your grand finale! \r\rEvery single guest raved about the reception location. Absolutely perfect choice, you will not go wrong!
