I booked my daughter’s Sweet 16 celebration at the Madison after visiting other several venues. The professionalism of the staff, particularly Kailey And Jessica were outstanding. They took the time to go over details such as table settings, room layout, and decorations. My daughter’s Sweet 16 will be A cherished memory by her and her friends and family.

Nothing but the ABSOLUTE BEST from our first visit to The Madison, through the planning, and ultimately our wedding day!Thomas has it covered.. that is all you need to rest assured with! His charisma, organization, and expertise leaves the bride & groom with a sense of calm. And Megan! Oh Megan. Your wedding day arrives, and you do not have to ask for a thing. She just magically is always standing there, handing you a drink, having your food ready, anything! I literally never had to think that day!The venue is beautiful, the staff is amazing, food is delicious - there is not one thing left undone. This place has mastered the art of making the perfect beginning to \"Happily Ever After\".

From day 1, the second I stepped into the Madison courtyard I knew this was my dream spot to have our wedding. The fireplace setting is beautiful for a fall wedding. We were immediately impressed by the supreme competence of the Director if Weddings, Thomas. Thomas knew every detail of the venue inside & out and how we could best structure the package and location spaces to fit our vision. Even the last minute changes due to inclimate weather. Thomas was amazing at reassuring me that everything I envisioned would come to life & talking me of the ledge if I needed it with all the overwhelming planning details lol. His positive energy is truly contagious & such a vibe. Our wedding was a small intimate ceremony & reception with about 55 ppl. We had the top shelf highest package & you got so much food, desserts and top shelf alcohol for such a wonderful cost per head. It’s really hard to imagine that you could find a better package value anywhere else, along with the outstanding customer service experience. Day of wedding staff was fabulous and accomodating to all of my party's needs and requests. Continuously checked on us & took wonderful care of us. The whole venue was decorated so magical and matched my whole vision I was going for. The outdoor ceremony space was perfect & beautiful. For the reception - The food was absolutely delicious & all of our guests continuously rave about how great it was and how MUCH food there was everytime we see them. Meals were served quickly and organized during the dinner. And the whole staff service was outstanding & professional. Everyone was so accommodating, easy to work with, and great at their jobs.Finally, our wedding wouldn’t have come together without the hard work from the entire Madison team, especially Thomas. And Kailey & team the day of. Thank you The Madison, our wedding was perfect! :)

I do not have enough kind words for this place. From start to finish, things were not only smooth but wonderfully fun. Thomas made planning easy and enjoyable, we had a REALLY good time going over things with him and the day of our wedding went perfectly due to his guidance. I don't think we could have done it without him, truly. The venue is absolutely gorgeous, especially with the new renovations. We got ready in the Wine cellar with lots of food and drinks provided by the Madison. The cocktail hour and reception went great - our guests could NOT say enough about the food. It was delicious and beyond expectations. The amount of food we had between hors d'oeuvres, dinner, dessert tables, and food truck... we were so full. They were kind enough to also have one of everything set aside for us (bride and groom) while we were getting fixed up in the bridal suite after the ceremony. All this at a very reasonable price as well! Their guidance, venue, and overall character is absolutely amazing and I would choose this place again in a heartbeat. My guests would too! I will definitely be back here for any future life events we celebrate :). Thank you guys so, so much!

My husband & I absolutely loved everything about The Madison. So much that it was the first place we looked at & we didn’t look any further. The outside area for first look has a waterfall & is great for pictures. The outside courtyard for ceremony is adorable. The cocktail hour & reception areas are beautiful. The stone walls & fireplaces add a nice romantic touch. All of our guests have reached out to tell us how much they loved the venue & how good the food was. Everyone that works there is helpful, nice & responsive. But I have to give a shout-out to the Director of Weddings Thomas. He is who I dealt with the entire time & he was absolutely great! He always answered my emails with all my questions & the wedding day wouldn’t have ran so perfect if it wasn’t for him. I would 100% recommend this venue & give them a 10/10!

From the moment that my husband and I saw The Madison, we knew it was the perfect venue. The courtyard makes for a beautiful ceremony site. The cocktail room (recently renovated!) and the reception room are equally beautiful. The food was delicious, as were the cocktails! We are so grateful for the wonderful staff, all who were so accommodating and made our visions a reality. Special thanks and shout out to Thomas - words cannot begin to describe how good he is. He was there with us through the entire process of planning to the wedding day itself. He helped us plan every detail of the wedding day, made sure that we were on schedule, and even made sure that my husband and I had a moment to eat after the ceremony! Thomas and Jessica are so understanding and responsive to emails, putting out fires and answering all of our questions. The wedding day went seamlessly and exceeded all of our expectations in the best way possible. Thank you so so much for everything.

From the day we toured the Madison, we were hooked. The personalities of each employee are contagiously positive. We originally met with Kailey, but began to work with Thomas halfway through and were impressed with his skills. Thomas put our planning worries at ease. The team at the Madison sends check up and reminder emails periodically, and we especially appreciated these when our schedules were getting chaotic. The wedding day itself was relaxing, even with the unpredictable weather. I knew that the Madison had it in hand. They worked with the florist to ensure that everything was in place should we have to move indoors. When it did rain during our ceremony, they were calm and collected. The food was great, and although we didn't get to see the renovated cocktail space, we've heard from several guests that it's beautiful. We used the wine cellar for getting ready and family photos since it was raining. Breakfast was ready for us on arrival thanks to our bridal assistant, Sara. And packing up at the end of the night was a breeze thanks to our end of night bridal assistant, Megan. We also used their decor closet which was a total lifesaver.The Madison has a great team of people ready and willing to help every step of the way, and we truly would not have had as great of a wedding if we did not have ours here.

Where to begin.. my entire experience with The Madison was incredible. I had made the switch from a venue I was not so happy with and the two experiences could not have been more opposite. From the moment I walked in the door, I knew The Madison was it. For the first time since I actually began wedding planning I could actually envision my wedding day, and I’m so grateful for the entire staff (especially Thomas) for bringing it all together. They know what they’re doing and they do it well! Everything is done efficiently and beautifully. The food is amazing, and they’ve paired with an amazing bakery! SO many compliments on the cake 😉 The staff work so hard to make sure everything runs smoothly and it shows, cannot recommend The Madison enough!!

We just had our wedding at The Madison in May and it was the most amazing day! It was all possible thanks to the staff at The Madison. Thomas, our coordinator, took our experience to the next level, with his attention to detail and passion for what he does. He had quick and thoughtful responses to any silly questions I had, and he made my wedding day perfect. Everyone that works there is friendly and great at their job. The food was amazing! Everyone RAVED about cocktail hour, and we opted to add their food truck at the end of the night, which was a big hit. I don't think our day would have been as amazing at any other venue. Would highly recommend!

Our beautiful wedding was on June 10, 2023, at The Madison in Riverside NJ. From our tour to the wedding day, everything was seamless and so organized and exciting! We attribute that to the WONDERFUL team at The Madison...Especially the AMAZING THOMAS STANIMIROV!!! Thomas was beyond incredible from planning to organization, to hype man. We cannot sing his praises enough. We also want to thank Sarah and Reese who took care of the bridal party. They were terrific, attentive and so wonderful. DURING AND AFTER the wedding we had people come up to us to rave about the food. WOW. Amazing job to the food and beverage team! Also thanks to the awesome bartenders for making The Benny Moscow Mule and Piper Summer Shandy come to life! I would recommend The Madison to any couple who wants the full shebang of a wedding with the BEST support from the venues team! We also got the comment \"THIS IS THE BEST WEDDING I'VE EVER BEEN TO!\" Which made us absolutely elated!

We had our wedding this past Friday at The Madison and we could not have been more pleased with the day. Tom and all the staff at The Madison are so friendly and professional. I feel that we paid a very fair price for the quality of service we received, which is hard to find in today's wedding market. From the first tour to picking up our decor the day after, everything was easy and stress free. Tom cooridanted our day so perfectly, many guests commented on how the day flowed effortlessly and that is because The Madison kept us right on schedule. Guests loved the facility, the food (it was insanely delicious), and the staff. The Madison has a great relationship with important vendors, and all the vendors we picked were preferred through them. My girls and I got ready at The Madison. We were the only event for the day, and Reese, our attendant, was attentive and worked so hard to give us the best experience. Our day was above and beyond what I could have hoped for, and I highly reccommend stopping in for a tour as you look for your venue!

The Madison was the perfect place to have our wedding. We could not have had a better experience from taking the tour and booking with Kailey to finalizing details with Thomas. Both my husband and I and our guests raved about how wonderful Thomas was making sure our day ran smoothly from start to finish. We could not have asked for a better team of people to help make our long awaited special day, the best day ever. They offer food choices for everyone and the tasting was informative and fun. Jessica was able to work with us to make sure our menu choices were exactly what we wanted. They also offer full reign of their decoration closet which helped so much with design choices for the ceremony, cocktail hour and reception. I cannot say stress enough how perfect our day was thanks to the Madison. We are so incredibly happy with chose this venue over the others and would work with them again for future events in a heartbeat.

The use of their decorations allowed me to cut down on certain expenses. The food was delicious and the staff was friendly.

There are no words to describe our experience having our wedding at the Madison. If I had to choose one: IMMACULATE.From initial tour to picking up our decor after the wedding, the Madison team consistently embodied the true meaning of customer service and massively surpassed all of our expectations. Although the entire team was simply wonderful, our coordinator, Thomas, in particular was \"IT\". He gave us our tour and was easily 50% of the reason we booked in the first place (the other 50% being due to how stunning the venue itself is). Thomas UNDERSTOOD the assignment - better than I did a majority of the time. To say \"above and beyond \" would be a disservice to Thomas' hard work, dedication, and passion. He truly cared and would stop at nothing to make sure our day was perfect (whether that included bustling my dress for me when my bridesmaids couldn't figure it out, answering frantic calls from me 2 days before with last minute issues, you name it, Thomas had it covered.) His effort and energy was so papabile and positive, almost all of our guests raved about him too.I simply cannot thank or recommend the Madison enough for an absolutely PERFECT stress free day!

I can't say enough wonderful things about The Madison. From the beginning we had a great feeling about The Madison. They were the first venue that we met with that provided upfront pricing. Most venues give you a price that doesn't include tax or gratuity so you don't even realize you are over budget before you even start. They were welcoming, helpful, and clearly experts in their field. We fell in love with the BEAUTIFUL outside fire place and gave the deposit on the spot. We originally booked with another wedding coordinator who had left, but The Madison immediately reached out with our new contact's information. Thomas quickly followed up with an email introducing himself and we fell IN LOVE. Thomas is warm, welcoming, hilarious, and completely adorable. He answered all of our emails in a timely fashion, made a lot of valuable suggestions, and answered all of our questions. During our rehearsal our entire wedding party could not stop complementing how funny, warm, and relatable Thomas was. One of my bridesmaids was so jealous she didn't have a Thomas at her wedding. Even if we didn't fall in love with the outside space we would book solely for Thomas. For our tasting we had the pleasure of meeting Jake and having him as our server. By the end of our tasting, my mom was asking Jake his schedule to ensure that he would be at my wedding. He knew so much about the food, was extremely helpful with our selections, was personable, and funny. We found out that Jake's mom also works at the venue and we hoped they would be at our wedding. Luckily they both were and they were FANTASTIC. All of the staff of The Madison the night of our wedding were truly incredible. From giving us a little moment in the bridal suite after the ceremony to ensure we eat, drink, and spend a little time alone together to making sure we had everything we needed all night long. They truly made us feel like absolute rockstars. If had to do it all over again we would 100% pick The Madison.

They truly went above and beyond and Thomas literally sold us on the venue without us even seeing the property in person that's how comfortable he made us feel from the outset! They are truly the dream team and were the vendor I was least concerned about on the big day - which is super big considering it was the venue!!

The people you hire make a difference!This is going to be a longer review because I cannot express how different and amazing of an experience we had with The Madison. There were three things that mattered when we went to visit a venue: the place looked nice, the food was good, and the people were people who would have your back if anything went wrong. The Madison is gorgeous, the food is incredible, and Jessica, Kailey, and Thomas are exactly who you want for your wedding! We got so many compliments during and after our reception!Once we restarted our wedding planning (thank you Covid), we were planning on having a less than 100-person wedding. Many places told us they couldn’t accommodate such a small wedding because we wouldn’t meet their “minimum amount spent.” Other places that still let us visit had managers that were rude or inconsiderate. They also did not seem to care if Covid could again interrupt it. Then I spoke with Jessica. Everything was a confident “Yes, we can accommodate that” or “don’t worry, we have plans in place.” She made me feel important even with a small wedding and was always quick to respond.When we went to tour the Madison, we met with Kailey. She was so great! She was warm and funny and made us feel welcome. She answered all our questions quickly. I was already impressed with how beautiful the place was when she showed us the Décor closet that housed many things that we could use without having to purchase or pay a rental fee! We had gone in thinking that The Madison might have been a little out of our budget but the fact that they could save us so much money in décor alone helped. Kailey continued to have great communication after meeting us and made us feel confident that we were making the right decision. Also, she made some of the signs for our reception and they were so cute!A few months before the wedding, we started talking with Thomas about the food and coordination. He even walked me through how the ceremony should go even though we were having it elsewhere! Thomas is so incredibly helpful! He has great recommendations, is quick to come up with solutions, extremely reassuring, and very accessible. When we had some issues with our final guest count, he helped me to relax and figure it out. He made sure we were going to be thrilled with our food, that everything would look nice, and be exactly how we wanted it. I never once felt pressured to do something one way or like I would have to compromise on anything. Thomas met with me two days before when I dropped off our things and carefully went over it with a list to not only make sure we had it all, but so he would know exactly what went back home with us. On the actual day of, Thomas set out food and drinks for us to have some alone time before joining the party. He handled any issues that came up, including with my veil and bustle, and our cake topper falling over (which was actually pretty funny). EVERYONE told us how kind and entertaining he was and they were impressed by how he kept things moving without being pushy or rude. He really made sure everything would be perfect. Thomas even made us some to-go boxes from our late-night cravings bar!Lastly, the Madison itself is absolutely beautiful. It’s clean and everything is well maintained, especially the little waterfall area. The menu was so customized to our tastes and everyone enjoyed their meals!If you’re thinking about the Madison, DO IT! It is worth every single penny spent!

Thomas was there for everything. Every question, every detail. He helped make me neurotic vision come to life. And it was beautiful! Jessica and Kailey were always there to help as well and supported Thomas in making our wedding a dream. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was incredible, the preferred vendors were amazing. Everyone was flexible in what we wanted, for example, our package we switched the potato bar for pasta and the cookies for ice cream.

We booked The Madison in the middle of Covid , it was our first venue we saw in person and we had Thomas as our tour guide and he was amazing ! We booked it on the spot because he made us feel so comfortable and relaxed that he and the team would have everything under control and help us every step of the way . We used the courtyard for our wedding because of its beautiful fire place and so happy with how it all came together . The food there is SO amazing I just wish they wrapped ours up since we didn’t get the chance to have more than a couple bites (note to all brides ask your coordinator to have them wrap up the food so you have leftovers at hotel) the day before wedding I brought all our decorations etc and Thomas listened to my vision and set up everything how I had asked and better ! Overall our day of went so smoothly , they had cocktail our food and drinks waiting for us in bridal suite when we e finished the ceremony so thoughtful ! So my one and only complaint was the day after pick up , we had said we could come around 12/1 to pick up our decorations since we were coming an hour away and leaving for honeymoon next day and when we arrived the guy had no clue we were coming and said they 2 events going on and we couldn’t talk it til after which was at 3pm and we had a bbq with all our family from out of town around then , thankfully my brother took one for the team and stayed til he was allowed to take it and we got to leave , Thomas was nowhere to be found when I called and never really got an apology Regardless , wouldn’t change a thing ! So grateful for them and all the staff that was there to help there’s so much more I can say but I’ll leave it to future brides to find out

I had the most amazing and memorable wedding at The Madison on May 7th and that's all due to the staff! Special shout out to Jessica, my day of wedding coordinator, who essentially was a wedding planner extraordinaire in all the months leading up to the wedding. She completely went above and beyond and truly made my wedding vision come to life. She was so kind, answered all my questions along the way (and there were many), and even offered to drive some of my bridal party to the ceremony 15 minutes away when the uber left without them. My bridal party and I had an early start time for hair and make-up (6:30am) and by the time I got to the Madison, Jessica was already there and the reception area looked amazing! I can't thank her enough for everything she did and I recommend her to anyone! The Madison also has a decor closet which the bride and groom has access to and we seriously saved so much money because of that! In the closet they have welcome signs, candles, lanterns, card boxes, basically a majority of wedding decorations you can have so me and my husband didn't even need to buy extra. The Madison itself is gorgeous with the outdoor courtyard, modern cocktail hour room, and the ballroom. We worked with Andrew (drapes/lighting vendor) who gives discounts to couples having a wedding at the Madison and it really elevated the ballroom and made it unique. Also the food at the Madison was fantastic! We did the Lafayette package and all of our guests said the cocktail hour was the best they'd had, the drinks were made well, and the steak was delicious! They also don't skimp on the portions so everyone was stuffed but got to burn lots of calories on the dance floor! B was very attentive to me and my husband and made sure we got all our food and drinks first (which can be hard to do when you're talking to everyone). The bartenders and waiters were simply amazing as well! No one had to wait for a drink at the open bar. All our guests said the service was the best they'd ever seen and I just can't rave enough about how amazing The Madison is to hold any event! 10/10 recommend and I'd love to celebrate anniversaries there in the future!

Amazing! I almost never write reviews but I had to let everyone know how amazing The Madison was for our wedding. We had a small wedding in April 2022 and The Madison was the perfect venue. Our wedding was beautiful! Kailey and Thomas were wonderful to work with from day one and managed every detail of the wedding and reception with ease. We had the ceremony in the Courtyard and reception in the Fireplace Room. The service was impeccable. The wait staff and bartender were super attentive, and the food was hot and delicious. Highly recommend this venue for your wedding or special event.

Where do I even start. From the moment we did our tour my husband and I were ready to book the venue. Jessica is absolutely wonderful. She helps you every step of the way. There is no question too big or too small for her to assist you with. After we finalized our menus, Jessica introduced us to Thomas who would be helping with details and coordinating the day of the wedding. There aren’t enough words to explain how thankful I am for Thomas. Every detail was perfect. Our entire wedding party absolutely loved him. He knew what we needed before we even verbalized it. He was always 5 steps ahead and keeping everything organized in the chaos of the wedding day. I also have to commend Jake, one of the staff members who stepped in for our food tasting due to family emergencies and planned vacations of the staff. He was knowledgeable of the entire menu. Our guest couldn’t stop raving about the food and desserts that we had. The ambiance and spaces that we utilized were excellent. One major perk is the supply closet. They have anything and everything you could possibly need to plan and decorate your wedding. You’re able to utilize lanterns, table numbers, centerpieces and much much more. Truly if I could give this venue a 100/10 I would. No detail was too small. Great communication with all staff throughout the entire planning process. They streamline the entire process and take away so much of the stress of planning. Thank you so much Jessica, Thomas and the entire staff of The Madison.

I recently had my sister’s baby shower at The Madison in the fireplace room and it was absolutely gorgeous! Kailey and Jessica made it so easy to plan the event. They communicated quickly and knew exactly what my vision of the shower was. The staff on the day of the event was amazing. They were so kind and checked in on what we needed the entire time to make sure everything was perfect. The fireplace room fit our 30 people very comfortably leaving us room to walk around and chat and gave us a nice cozy elegant vibe. The food and the drinks (we did a buffet and champagne bar) were delicious! The manager on during the event, beshoy, was very helpful. The staff at The Madison made my sister’s shower more beautiful than I even imagined it would be!

The Madison was an amazing place to have our wedding. The package we picked was very affordable and Jessica answered every question we had when making our decision. Their decor closet was a great bonus as we were planning all of our decorations. As our big day got closer, we got to work with Thomas who was just so amazing. He answered any and all questions we had and gave us so much advice and support. Thomas was so helpful during our rehearsal and some of wedding party even asked if was an official wedding planner outside of the venue because of how great of a job he did! The day of our wedding our Photobooth has unexpectedly canceled and Thomas worked with my bridal party to secure a new Photobooth hours before I walked down the aisle. We can’t say enough amazing things about Thomas, Jessica, and everyone at the Madison. Our wedding day was so beautiful and perfect and we’re so grateful for everyone involved.

Where do I even begin? The Madison was the second venue I looked at. I was toured by a former event coordinator Julie who was so very friendly and informative- I left the venue and called her in the car to book! She was amazing to work with and extremely accommodating. Then comes Covid. The Madison made postponing stress free! They gave me reasonable options for postponing or were willing to work with me to help my event happen within the current CDC guidelines ( they now have a beautiful tent). I decided to postpone and it was seamless. I have heard horror stories from other brides about difficulties with postponing and none of that happened with The Madison. I was reassigned to another event coordinator after Julie left that I only worked with for a few weeks, then I was reassigned again to Thomas. Again, a seamless transition. It was like he had been working with me on my wedding since day 1. THOMAS IS A GOD SEND. He is friendly, caring, accommodating, and you can absolutely tell he loves his career. He made me feel like we were the only event that was happening even though they have tons of different types of events at The Madison all the time! He always did anything and everything he could to eliminate any worry or stress (not that I was given much to worry about). He went ABOVE AND BEYOND to ensure our wedding day was 100% perfect and Thomas and the entire staff knocked it out of the park. They worked flawlessly with all of my vendors on the day of, set up my decorations perfectly, and were quick with dinner service and friendly to guests. The food was fantastic, the venue looked stunning, and all of my guests have been telling me how impressed they are. Not many had heard of The Madison but they’ve all left remembering it. I cannot thank the staff, and Thomas, enough for what they’ve done. Thomas turned a year that became stressful for many couples with postponements into a stress free experience for us. My bridal party adored him as well! We also hosted our rehearsal dinner at The Madison and it was just as perfect as our wedding day! Down to each server making sure we had what we needed. If you’re not sure where to host your wedding, or any event for that matter- I highly recommend The Madison. They will not disappoint from food, to drink, to service- you will impress your guests!

My husband and I are so, so happy we chose to have our July 31st wedding at The Madison! Each and every team member at The Madison contributed to our perfect wedding and reception. A special shout-out goes to Thomas for being simply awesome! As a planner, I started worrying about the flow of our wedding and reception. At our rehearsal, Thomas eased all of my worries with his easy-going but professional spirit. He was within arms-reach as he guided us in cutting our multi-layer, three-flavored cake from DiBartolo's which was delicious and garnered rave reviews from our guests as did the venue and our decor. I would be remiss if I didn't mention the special lady who grabbed a root beer from The Madison's food truck just for me. Thank you! We are so appreciative of the amazing staff at The Madison who were professional, respectful, and accommodating in helping to make our day unforgettable. So unforgettable in fact, we'd do it all over again!

PERFECTION !! It's really difficult to know where to even begin with this review given how wonderful The Madison was. My husband and I had to split up our wedding ceremony and reception into two dates due to COVID. The Madison was super flexible and worked with us through the uncertainty, at one point holding two dates for us to ensure we were comfortable with our decision. We finally had our wedding reception this past weekend and we truly can't thank Thomas and his team enough for all their hard work. The decorations were all thoughtfully placed and my visions were truly made a reality. I felt so welcomed and reassured every time we spoke to Thomas throughout our planning process. I can't imagine having a more perfect setting for our wedding reception! Our family and friends have had nothing but good things to say about our wedding venue and attentiveness of the entire team. Both the inside and outside space are beautiful and the train tracks/clock tower nearby were great places to get unique photos. The food and drinks were AMAZING and were one of the many highlights of the night. We LOVE The Madison!!

Even though our original indoor plans changed, The staff at The Madison went above and beyond making sure all their brides and grooms were still going to have the wedding of their dreams. We didn’t hit one snag at all with planning and Jessica made it all happen. The tent was amazing, spacious, and worked out so well with our vibe, all of guests said “this wedding is SO YOU!”.

We had our wedding at The Madison on October 6, 2019 and it truly was the perfect venue for us and our guests! The first thing I saw when I went to check out The Madison was their courtyard and instantly knew this was where I wanted to say \"I Do\"! We had our ceremony outside in their beautiful courtyard in front of the fireplace. It was so romantic and exactly what I envisioned when I walked down the aisle. We also had our first look in the courtyard and it was the perfect spot for this as well because it was such a beautiful moment that was private, but our bridal party and family got to catch a glimpse through the doors, which they loved and we loved, too! The bridal suite offered a great space for me to finish getting ready in, quickly freshen up during the night or use the private bathroom and also give me and my new hubby some time to chat privately and relax for a little before we had our ceremony. All of our guests said the food and drinks were amazing! They loved cocktail hour, devouring all the bacon wrapped scallops and mac and cheese bites they could get their hands on and loved how much room and ample seating they had to enjoy the cocktail hour. This was definitely something I took into account before booking because I hate when you go to a wedding and want to enjoy cocktail hour but have no where to sit and eat. Our guests also loved the 3-course dinner and had a choice of 3 options as the main course, which was great! Our signature drinks were movie-themed from our favorite movies, Anchorman and The Big Lebowski, and they nailed it with our requests for a scotch-based cocktail and white Russian! We would also like to give a HUGE shout out to Jessica, our wedding coordinator for The Madison! She. is. AMAZING. She was so easy to email with back and forth leading up to the wedding, always swift responses and so helpful with any questions or concerns we had! On our wedding day, she took all of my decor and arranged it beautifully! She was always there if I needed to ask her something or need a drink to steal my nerves haha. She is such a wonderful person to work with and truly made our wedding day carefree. We really can't thank her enough for everything she did for us. Looking back on our wedding day, we think of how everyone kept coming up to us during the night to rave about how beautiful the venue is and how they never heard of it before coming here for our wedding and was absolutely was blown away by the venue as a whole. It made us so happy to see them fall in love with The Madison just like we did when we first walked in. The venue was just so \"us\" and we are so happy we chose it for our wedding day. If you're looking for a venue that is beautiful both inside and outside, with all its swankiness and warmth, The Madison is it! It's a south jersey wedding venue hidden gem!

The Madison is the absolute best venue! We looked at about four venues, The Madison being first, and nothing else compared. First, we fell in love with the outdoor ceremony spot with a huge brick fireplace and string lights (very romantic). When we entered the cocktail area, it was so different than any other wedding we had been to, with an open concept kitchen. What I loved most about The Madison (besides the outside area) was how the reception room was so neutral and able to be decorated with any style (I hated how a lot of venues had carpeting that didn’t match the look I was going for).The Madison is extremely reasonably priced and includes a lot in their packages. We have been to fancy weddings where we were not impressed with the venue or food and knew the bride and groom spent a fortune. The Madison is very reasonable, and the food is the best we have had at any wedding we attended. We had dinner at The Madison after signing our contract and knew we made the right decision- we even had our rehearsal dinner there!Our wedding planners, Jess and Julie are sweethearts and absolutely amazing. We will never forget them and all that they did to make our day perfect! From the day we signed the contract to the day of our wedding, they were so accommodating, and they made the entire process easy and stress free. We cannot rave enough about Jess and Julia.From the minute we arrived at The Madison on our wedding day, Jess and Julie catered to our every need. They provided us with food and drinks while getting ready and made sure we were comfortable. Our day could not have gone any smoother than it did. I am an anxious and naturally stressed out person, so I thought I would be this way on my wedding day, but I was not! The day just flowed naturally and if there were any hiccups or issues, I don’t know about them! They also put a lot of effort into ensuring that my husband did not see me before our first look!The florist we used would have charged an additional fee to move our floral arrangements and decorations from the ceremony area to the reception, so Jess and Julie moved everything for us. They arranged our sweetheart table beautifully, and it was exactly how I pictured it would look.In all, our wedding was magical and everything I dreamed of and pictured it to be thanks to Jess, Julie, and The Madison. We are so happy we chose The Madison and would recommend it to anyone!

We got married on 8/17/2019 at The Madison. From beginning to end it was a 10 out of 10. I had visited many venues with family (husband worked strange hours). The Madison was the 1st venue he visited with me and fell in love immediately.The Madison is over an hour away from where we live but that did not sway us at all. We were slightly hesitant that people would not show due to the distance but quickly dissolved the thought as we knew the drive would be worth it. My experience was nothing short of amazing through and through. Jessica and Julie are 2 of the most amazing people I've ever encountered. They were a pleasure to work with from day 1. They constantly checked in and sent me reminders/to do lists to ensure nothing was missed and was all squared away before the big day. Whenever I felt stressed or unsure they would jump into action assuring me everything would work itself out. They helped out with a number of tasks that were not asked of them or required. I felt very comfortable and relaxed with them. Jessica and Julie went above and beyond to bring my vision to life. We were able to literally utilize the venue from sunup to sundown. Our makeup literally began at 8am. Makeup was in the wine cellar which is absolutely stunning. Our family and friends were in complete awe of The Madison and the service received. The food (cocktail and sit down dinner) and drinks were top notch. Everyone loved the courtyard ceremony area and the fireplaces.They let me make a number of modifications to our food and drink selections and executed them PERFECTLY. I couldn't have been more satisfied. Jessica was a pure god send on the day of the wedding. Her energy was contagious and dedication was unexplainable. She arrived bright and early to the venue to begin helping with last minute tasks. Jessica took control and got down to business and business she meant. She’s AWESOME an actual modern day WONDER WOMAN! Jess wrapped up all of our food and some desserts from our Viennese table as she realized neither of us had eaten anything. THANK GOD SHE DID BECAUSE WE WERE STARVING AT THE END LOL. Online photos do NOT do The Madison justice. It needs to be seen up close and personal to take in all the beauty it has to offer. It is truly a hidden gem. We could not have made a better choice. Our day was absolutely perfect, from the pre ceremony festivities down to the reception. Sending a huge THANK YOU to everyone at The Madison. We appreciate that you all help to make our special day that much more SPECIAL.XOXO Mr. & Mrs. SmithRichona & Qua’ran

I cannot think of one negative thing to say about our experience with The Madison. My husband and I got married on Saturday August 10th, 2019. We booked the venue in January, eight months prior. It was the first and only venue we visited. Not only is it beautiful and unique, but the pricing is extremely reasonable. The food is delicious! All of the appetizers were homemade, not frozen! The garnish and display made it look gourmet. Food was awesome, the DiBartolo’s cake was included, and we did not have to pay for the bar for any guest under 21. The meals were all picked by my guests the night of the event. No mail in meal cards. Super accommodating for allergies and kid meals. \tThe Madison was stocked with decorations of all kinds. We could pick out anything we wanted to use at no extra charge. They even did the decorating for us! Julie and Jessica were both a pleasure to work with. Both of the ladies did every job possible – I saw them both serving dinner, cake, drinks, tending the bridal suite, managing the ceremony, controlling ceremony music, and even fluffing the train of my dress just moments before I walked down the aisle. They were at The Madison before I got there, and did not leave until well after the wedding was over. Anything we asked, they graciously provided. The day would not have been the same without them. 100% Service.\tAnytime I emailed Julie or Jess, they would answer immediately. They had us come in 2 or 3 times for planning meetings. Leaving each meeting, we were more excited and less stressed than when we first came in. They sat with us for hours answering any questions we had and giving us tips.\tThe guests and I give rave reviews for how neat the ceremony space was. The outdoor courtyard with the string lights was the exact type of ambiance we were looking for when first booking. They will accommodate an indoor ceremony at no extra charge for poor weather conditions. Bathrooms are modern and super clean. The staff all around could not have been more nice.\tI have recommended and will continue to recommend this venue to anyone I speak with. It really was a pleasure working with Julie and Jessica in making our perfect day.

Booking our wedding through the Madison was the best decision we made! Jess and her team made everything so easy and were on top of every detail from start to finish! The outside fireplace made for an absolutely beautiful backdrop during our ceremony and our guests kept raving about how good the food was. During our reception, Jess made sure we had everything we needed at all times, whether it was a refill on our drinks or a plate of hors d'oeuvres during cocktail hour! We wish we could relive our day over again and would highly recommend this venue to anyone!

The Madison is the perfect place to hold a wedding! I went into the process not knowing much about all that a wedding entailed. Luckily, I received the best service from the coordinator, Jessica. She walked me through the details and assisted me in all aspects of the day. If it were not for her I would have forgotten so much. The GM, Timmy, was also wonderful. The food was just incredible. We had the Brunch Buffet with a waffle & carving station. My guests are still raving about the waffles, saying they are the most delicious waffles they ever ate. All of the staff was so attentive when it came to making the guests feel welcome and taken care of. The bartenders were quick and friendly. Having that level of customer service made our day flawless and so happy. I honestly could not have asked for more!! I highly recommend having any event at the Madison. It was a beautiful venue!! We have the happiest memories of our special day!! Thank you to the staff, especially Jessica and Timmy!!

We got married 9/28/19 and it truly was the best day of our lives. We booked the venue without having visited in person as we lived across the country at the time. It may seem silly, but the gorgeous oval back chairs for the ceremony and reception initially attracted me to the venue (I am not a fan of the tyical chiavari wedding chairs). We were a little nervous throughout the beginning of the booking process but once we met Jessica, everything changed. There are not enough words to express the gratitude we have for her. She helped walk us through the day-of planning (we were a bit clueless on some things) and her experience and suggestions were so helpful! We booked the wine cellar for the girls to get ready in and it was absolutely perfect. We were able to bring our own food and mimosas etc. and our hair and makeup artists had everything they needed in there (mirrors, outlets, space, chairs, etc.). Jessica was there bright and early in the morning helping to set things up and she made sure we had everything we needed. We took our photographs at The Madison and in walkable locations and we are SO glad we did this; the pictures all turned out PERFECTLY. The only thing I wish we thought of was to get the outdoor fireplace on during our pictures (we had it on for the ceremony and it was unbelievably beautiful). When we had our tasting, the food was good but honestly we weren't WOWed by anything. However, at the wedding, EVERY single thing was ABSOLUTELY OUTSTANDING. I was still getting compliments from guests a week after the wedding at how amazing the food was, especially the filet mignon! The venue was the perfect size for our 115 person wedding. Our guests were so impressed with the beauty of the venue and so many specifically mentioned how gorgeous the cocktail hour room was. I loved that we had the option to use rectangular tables for the reception instead of the typical round tables. I could write a book on how perfect our wedding day was, and the first 10 chapters would be dedicated to thanking Jessica for help with planning, spending 17 hours working the day of our wedding, and wrapping my filet up in a to go box when she saw I didn't get to it so I could eat it on the way home :). Of course, thank you to everyone else at The Madison (especially Edward and all of the wonderful servers and the cooks) who made our day so special! XOXO Jaclyn & Scott

What can I say about The Madison? The Madison hosted the most important day of our lives. Our wedding ceremony was held in the beautiful Madison Courtyard and our reception was held in the swanky Café Madison. The Madison staff far EXCEEDED our expectations. Julie who took the lead on coordinating our day was so kind and gracious to us. She was patient and understanding. Her creativity took our wedding vision to a level that we could never have imagined. THE SERVICE WAS GREAT!!! Our guests had nothing but positive reviews and feedback about their experience and high praises of how beautiful the venue is. So I just want to thank all those at The Madison for making Our Wedding Day special. I could not have imagined our special day being even close to what The Madison Experience gave us. Again…The Best Day of My Life!!!! Much thanks and appreciation to The Madison.

After having visited 5 other venues (3 of which were in Philly), my fiance and I stumbled upon The Madison and were instantly hooked! The venue itself is casual, rustic yet elegant and overall a beautiful property. While we booked with a different site coordinator who later left about 3 months before our wedding, Jess, who took over, and Julie, the assistant coordinator, were absolutely seamless in helping us transition from one site coordinator to the next. The venue itself was a pub first, then a beautiful high-ceilinged restaurant with an open kitchen was added, then the rustic and beautiful courtyard with the outside bar and finally the reception space in the back of the property complete with a wine cellar which we used to get ready in on the morning of! Julie was absolutely spectacular throughout our entire planning process and the week leading up to and the day of the wedding she really shined! Our transportation was VERY late getting our guests from the hotel to the venue and the venue brought early guests to the pub and provided drinks for them GRATIS for having to wait so long- I can't even deal with how much of a relief it was to know our guests were in such good hands! We also opted to get a food truck at the end of the night for guests to take home food to the hotel and the catering manager was so helpful and amazing in feeding our guests! We cannot recommend this food truck enough as guests went on the shuttle with containers and containers of food to ease their hangovers! The food at the venue was amazing; cocktail hour and dinner was delicious, and people could not stop raving about the fried mac and cheese! I truly cannot say enough about this venue; Jess and Julie were absolutely amazing, and Edmund, who was originally our favorite server when we ate at the restaurant casually, was promoted during our wedding planning time and we are so happy that he was at our wedding the entire day to help us out! All morning while getting ready I was catered to by all 3-Jess, Julie & Edmund- and they truly made the entire experience so amazing for our guests, but most importantly for my fiance and I. If we could get married again, we would do it 10 times over, and every time at The Madison. Thank you guys so so much!

From the first moment when we called The Madison to view the venue to the evening of our wedding when we departed bearing gifts and left-over wedding cake, the whole experience at The Madison was wonderful, and just what we hoped our wedding would be.The Courtyard boasts a majestic brick fireplace where our ceremony took place on a beautifully sunny Friday afternoon in May 2019. The beautifully decorated, intimate indoor bar area is perfect for cocktail hour, and leads into the large reception room where dinner and dancing took place.We chose the food station option for our wedding, and we are glad that we did. The butlered hors d’oeuvres were plentiful, varied and delicious, served with a smile by the knowledgeable waitstaff. The bar staff was friendly and very accommodating. Our choice of pork and prime rib were juicy and flavourful, and don’t even get me started on the delicious cannolis and cream puffs, let alone the incredible wedding cake provided by Di Bartolos (as part of the package). Our wedding party took advantage of the bridal suite a couple of hours before the wedding until we left, which was very comfortable, gave us a place to leave all our belongings and gave the few teenagers in our party somewhere to hang when the adults started embarrassing them by dancing.Julie Gonzales was our guide on the day, and I can’t say enough good things about her. She went above and beyond, even to the extent of following us with a bottle of champagne to ensure we never ran out of something to drink!Both Julie and Jessica Crespo were professional, kind, warm and gracious. Nothing was too much trouble for them. Our wedding day was beautiful, well planned and above all enjoyed by everyone who attended. We received so many compliments about how elegant the venue is.

Venue is beautiful, intimate and the staff was very professional, warm and beyond accommodating. They went above and beyond to ensure our day was special.My husband and I couldn’t have picked a better venue for our wedding on April 14th, 2019. Everything from the first look pictures, to beautiful fire place during the ceremony, the cocktail hour to the reception was nothing less than perfect. We got many compliments on how beautiful this place was. We couldn’t have agreed more!! On top of all of that the customer service was amazing.😊 Julie Gonzales was so on point!! She made sure everything stayed on time and pushed to make sure we got through the ceremony before any rain 🌧. Lol. She was so awesome with my 2 year old son who wanted nothing to do with being a ring bearer when it was show time. With no thought she grabbed him and kept things moving and when we returned back inside from the ceremony he was asleep in her arms. 😊 That was truly a highlight of my special day. The staff overall was amazing. My guest raved about the bar tender and the great the drinks, while others were so impressed by how good the food was. The Madison is highly recommended by myself and Kevin. They were able to capture that intimate feel we both wanted and still include all the bells and whistles making everything perfect.

ABSOLUTELY STUNNING... Words can not express how incredibly beautiful my wedding day was. The two life saviors Diane and Julie took my vision to the next level. At first my experience started off a little rocky in the beginning stages of me planning with the Madison, but as soon as Diane Bobak and Julie stepped in my wedding day dreams came to life. They really listened to what I wanted and took it above and beyond what I could have ever imagined. They were so caring and compassionate towards me and my wedding party. I felt so close to them like family, that was how much they made me feel comfortable and really made me feel like a queen. The décor and setup was nothing short of a fairytale. I am so blessed that I was able to work with those two beautiful souls. Trust me when I say whatever you envision for your wedding day, they will make that come true tenfold. The hours of my wedding I had a attendee named TJ who amazing and sought me out where ever I was and made sure I had plenty to drink and to make sure I was good all around. I was literally treated like royalty. The way that they waited on me hand and foot. The food was absolutely delicious, from start to finish the Chef truly has a gift. All of my 220 guests were extremely please and happy with the décor, food and late night food truck to top it off. I had nothing but positive feedback from my guests. They are still staking about it 4 months later calling it \"the most beautiful wedding that they have ever attended.\"You'd be very wise to choose this place if you want to live out a true royal fairytale. They have made my wedding day truly memorable and something I will cherish forever I wish I could do it all over again. There is so much more I could say but I am running out of characters. Bravo Madison I would give 100 stars if I could.11/18/18- IS ONE FOR THE BOOKS

Eric and I had one of our first dates at The Madison and when we started planning our wedding, it was the first and only venue we looked at. I literally cried tears of joy in the car after I met with the Director of Catering, Laura and they actually had our wedding date available! I fell in love with their romantic courtyard with the hanging bistro lights and couldn’t wait to get married in front of their gorgeous outdoor fireplace. Unfortunately for us, it rained right before our ceremony and we were forced to bring the ceremony inside, but it worked out better than I could’ve imagined. The fireplace in The Madison Room was just as beautiful and we decorated the mantle with candles and flowers and it looked amazing in pictures. And we were still able to capture our First Look in the courtyard before it started raining! The Madison was incredibly accommodating with our budget and we were able to customize our food options. The head chef even met with me to discuss my food allergy and threw in extra items to make sure I had enough to eat! Our guests could not stop raving about the food and the atmosphere! But the best part about our special day was the outstanding service The Madison provided from start to finish. From the first day we met, Laura and I just clicked. She was warm and welcoming and I felt like I’d known her for years. She kept me calm throughout the whole process and I just knew we were in excellent hands. She and her assistant, Julie make such a great team, remembering every family members names, making sure all of our guests were happy and taken care of, staying organized, and most importantly, being at our sides for every question or concern we had and genuinely putting our minds at ease. Shout out to TJ, our banquet captain, who was a rockstar, professional, and attentive to all our guests needs, all with a smile on his face. It seriously was the best day ever and we owe it all to The Madison for exceeding every expectation and making our day beyond special!

Having our wedding at the Madison Cafe was one of the easiest decisions I made through the whole planning process. The staff that work there are very down to earth making you feel very comfortable with all of your questions and you can tell they take pride in providing quality service to couples who trust them with their big day. The ceremony space there was industrial with the brick but intimate with the courtyard feel. The reception space is elegant and neutral with their gorgeous stone fireplace inside and incredibly tall ceilings. We chose to add the cafe lights across the whole room and it made it such a fun party space. Everyone raved about the food, even the salad! Which if you think about it who ever raves about a salad? They brought a plate of the appetizers from cocktail hour back to the bridal suite for me and my two friends helping bustle our dress....we devoured about 8/10 of the appetizers because we got so full...everything is so delicious! Laura runs the show beautifully so I had no worries about who needed to be where and when; she was on it. TJ the banquet manager was always on the floor, making sure guests had everything they needed and all the servers were incredibly professional. With our guests, I would say they probably couldn't have had enough bartenders with how often the visits to the bar were, but the bartender we had was phenomenal because the amount of drinks he was cranking out for everyone was an incredibly impressive feat! If you'd like to stay within a reasonable budget, have a beautiful space, delicious food, work with professionals who treat you like friends, then Madison should be your spot!

I had looked at many venues before going to The Madison. None of them gave me the feeling this place did. I knew when I stepped in and met Laura that this was the place for me to get married. Throughout the planning process, Laura was amazing. Whenever I needed information or had a question she was just an email or a phone call away. The day of I was greeted by Diane, Tim and TJ. All three of them were so welcoming and accommodating to my party. They explained the day and walked me through all the events.My wedding was truly amazing not only because of the staff but because of the beautiful venue. The courtyard was turned into the ceremony area, my guests have commented on the beauty of the stone walls, fireplace and shuttered windows. This area went with my theme of rustic chic, I was so happy it all came together so perfectly. The cocktail hour was comfortable and my guests were happy they could sit and have the delicious food brought to them. The food was AMAZING!!! From the cocktail hour to dinner to dessert. I have heard rave reviews about it all!! During the reception, my husband and I ate the soup and salad course and then started to say hello to our guests. Diane told my husband and I that our food was coming out soon. When she didn't see us making our way to the table she held off on our food. When she saw us finishing up with our guests our food came out piping hot. Dinner service had been over by then, but she knew that we wanted to say thank you to our guests first. Diane was awesome!!! Both Diane and TJ, anything we needed they had it for us within a minute. My mom also told me about how accommodating the wait staff was with other food restrictions - a guest couldn't have nuts in her salad, next thing you know a new salad without nuts was in front of her. Another guest couldn't have gluten - next thing you know she had an asparagus soup. I cannot say enough about the Madison and their staff. It means the world to me that my event made everyone so happy and it wouldn't have happened without the Madison!!!!Thank you!!!

We are so happy we chose The Madison for our wedding. They were able to provide us with everything we needed and more. For our wedding, we were looking for an all-in-one venue which also had the ability to decorate some of the space themselves, and a very involved wedding contact because I wasn’t sure how to design the event myself. We had a lot of great “pieces”, but needed people with a lot of experience to help make it successful in The Madison event spaces, which The Madison did very well! It was very important to us to create a multicultural event which reflected the history of our families as well as our personal taste. From the food to the decorations to the music to the ceremony space, The Madison helped us to create a wedding that was very meaningful to us. I specifically want to call out Chef Jack and his staff. We had a very demanding crew of Indian relatives to satisfy, many of them vegetarian, and Chef Jack went above and beyond to make it happen. He had many tastings with us and learned some new Indian recipes which were a hit at the wedding. The various event spaces at The Madison allow you flexibility as you design your event. We were able to use all of the spaces throughout the day which helped make the event truly unique. My husband even spent time in The Towne Tavern with his groomsmen before getting ready. Our guests were at The Madison for about 8 hours, and the wedding party was there even longer, so the change in scenery from one part of the event to another was really neat, like there was a surprise around every corner! I love the versatility in the spaces at The Madison! Overall – great choice for a complicated event that required an all-in-one venue like ours, and weddings with multicultural needs. And then they can also handle the more traditional wedding formats as well, which they do often and very well.

We had our wedding (the ceremony and reception) at The Madison on December 30, 2017 and I could not be more pleased with the way our wedding turned out. The first time we visited The Madison in our search for wedding venues, I knew I had found the place for us. I had envisioned getting married in front of a fireplace, and the outdoor courtyard was the perfect spot. Mother Nature had other plans, however, and it snowed the morning of the wedding. With the fireplace indoors, I was still able to have the intimate ceremony in front of the fireplace. One of the reasons I chose to get married around the holidays was because of the lights and decorations. The Madison did not disappoint! With a number of lit trees, garland, and beautiful holiday decorations, in addition to our own decorations, it was magical inside. I loved the fact that we were able to use the restaurant area for cocktail hour while the reception area was being set up. I knew how good the food was going to be from the complementary tasting we had months before and because anyone who had ever been to a wedding there always said, \"The food there is so good!\" when they found our where we were having our reception. Those sentiments were confirmed by the compliments of so many of the wedding guests. When we started this whole process, nine months before the wedding, we were working with Jessica. About a month before the wedding, we discovered that she was no longer with the company and we would be working with Laura and Lexie. I have to say that I was initially shocked and upset at this turn of events, but I had nothing to fear. Laura and Lexie did an amazing job picking up the planning without missing a beat. They ensured that everything was executed perfectly and Lexie made sure that we were happy throughout the entire evening. I couldn't have asked for more. My only wish is that I could go back to that night and do it all again!

My husband Ben and I are so happy that we chose The Madison for our wedding. We had looked into a list of places, but as soon as we visited The Madison, we decided to book that day. During our first meeting, we met with the wedding coordinator and were instantly impressed by her professionalism, knowledge and also the packages that they offered. It was all affordable and easily customizable. After meeting the staff, who were also fantastic, we knew it was a great decision, and they continued to prove how amazing they are throughout the planning of our wedding, and the big day. \tOn our wedding day, we arrived at The Madison at 10 am and made use of the downstairs wine cellar (which had a dividing wall so the men didn’t see the ladies). I was also able to see the banquet room set up with the centerpieces and everything was flawless. One of the best things about The Madison is that when they book a wedding, it’s the only event scheduled for the day, and the restaurant isn’t even open to the public until our reception starts, and we’re closed off in the beautiful banquet room. So the entire staff was ready and willing to help with anything we needed all day. \tThe weather on September 16th was beautiful so we were able to have the short ceremony on the patio and then the cocktail hour immediately followed in the restaurant/bar area. For weeks, we’ve had guests call and message us with rave reviews of the length of the cocktail time (90 minutes), the amount and quality of the food, and the graciousness of the staff. The dinner following also didn’t disappoint. The portions were generous and hot, and the display was beautiful. The staff also made sure that the bride and groom got to eat which was huge! (Every bride and groom hear that they will never get to eat, so we were pleasantly surprised and thankful) \tBeing a realistic bride, I fully expected some hiccups along the way, but I truly feel that our day was close to perfect- if there were any mishaps, I certainly wasn’t made aware of them! My husband and I were able to relax and actually enjoy our entire day, and most importantly, not stress. It was all amazing and we’re so thankful to The Madison and their incredible staff for providing the landscape for our incredible wedding day.

We had our ceremony and reception at The Madison September 2017. We could not be happier with how our experience went FROM START TO FINISH. This includes our initial meeting to walk around The Madison and learn about all the unique spaces they have to accommodate our large group. Jessica was the first person we met with during our first visit. She was on top of every single detail during each of our (countless) emails/questions. She never missed a beat!! Always available and always sooo detail oriented. She has an eye for design and wants each space to be as beautiful as you do! On the days leading up to the wedding, Jessica, Tim and staff were always so helpful and accommodating. The day of the wedding could not have been more perfect for us!! The entire day FAR EXCEEDED our expectations of what we had envisioned for our wedding day. We had two AWESOME banquet captains as well, TJ and Connor. These two were amazing and it was obvious how hard they were working to make the day perfect and easy for us. The food was AMAZING!!!! After each of our meetings with Jessica on the months/weeks leading up to the wedding (and at the food tasting), we always had dinner in the courtyard after. We have probably eaten there about 10 times and have never had a bad meal..ever! Coming from an Italian family, food is almost the most important thing of the day. Our guests raved about the cocktail hour, entrees, desserts and late night snack bar that we added. I'll say it again - the food is absolutely amazing!! Thank you chefs!!!If you are looking for a ceremony and reception venue with a modern flare to a banquet style wedding, look no further! If we could give 100 stars to The Madison, we absolutely would! Amazing food, amazing coordinator, amazing staff, amazing venue. Thank you Jessica and Team!!-Deena & James

As we approach our first wedding anniversary on Monday 29, my husband and I are still receiving compliments on how fun and memorable our wedding was at the Madison! Jessica was a pleasure to work with, and I immediately trusted her to \"get\" my vision- and she totally did! The food was delicious, the room was so much more unique than a standard ballroom, and the whole staff was enjoyable and made sure my husband and I felt at ease. The Madison nailed it. If we got to do it all over again, we would do it just the same. Thank you, Jessica and co.!!!!!

As a little girl growing up, I dreamed of having a fairytale wedding. Jessica Connor and the staff at The Madison made all my dreams come true. My mother-in-law had worked with Jessica in the past, having bridal showers, baby showers, and a rehearsal dinner. On her recommendation, we decided to get more information about the venue. After our first meeting and tasting we knew that The Madison was the perfect venue for us.The food, service and attention to details was outstanding. The Madison provided an exceptional wait staff to accommodate out 170 guest list. Our guests raved about the food and service. We opted for the additional raw bar during cocktail hour and late night snack bar with milkshakes from Nellie Bly’s (which was a suggestion from Jessica). These items, I addition to the wide selection of hors d'oeuvres and entrees made for a true culinary experience! It was always easy to contact Jessica and she worked around our scheduled for our meetings, and answered all of our questions timely. I kept our décor to a minimum to allow the beauty of The Madison to shine. Jessica added many of her own special touches which truly made my vison a reality. I would like to thank everyone at Café Madison for making our wedding day so perfect!

I cannot even begin to describe how perfect our experience was at The Madison. To start off, from day 1 Jessica and her staff were completely amazing. Attentive, full of ideas, personable - truly all around great. Having our wedding at The Madison was the best choice we could have made, every detail was perfect and the entire experience felt intimate and warm despite having nearly 200 guests! Jessica is truly amazing. She was on top of everything from start to finish and made my fiance and I feel so incredibly special. We had the best time. Thank you SO much Jessica and The Madison for making our wedding absolutely perfect!

The Madison is in a league of its own. I've attended weddings at many SJ locations and this unique venue allows for such personalization, has top-notch (and happy!) servers, serves food that is a higher quality than traditional banquet fare, and its just all-around breathtaking. We had many guests comment that they never knew about The Madison and plan on returning for meals going forward. I don't know how Jessica can plan so many weddings and still stay on top of every single detail like she does. I put my trust in her and she did an absolutely phenomenal job with everything from our room & food choices to recommending vendors, supporting us with general wedding guidance/advice, and the decor -- I brought her my items and she decorated them so thoughtfully and beautifully. TJ, our captain, was such a sweetheart and pleasant to work with who always kept a smile on our faces.The real reason The Madison deserves more than a 5-Star rating is how above and beyond they truly go. Our wedding day had an iffy forecast with on-and-off showers which wasn't great for our planned outdoor ceremony. They literally set up and broke down in different rooms to try their best to get our ceremony as close to what we wanted. When we came back from pictures, they pulled through and to my surprise, the Courtyard was set up, the sun was out, and I was tearing up. I cannot thank Jessica and their staff enough for that moment. I'm so fortunate to have found such a beautiful, classy local venue with a detail-oriented event team, and I can't wait to see the professional pictures -- everything from The Courtyard, to the wine cellar, to the bistro-light stung reception room -- from a truly lovely evening with family and friends.

Our wedding was at The Madison on August 27, 2016 and I'm still in awe at how amazing everything turned out. We only looked at one other venue before choosing here and from the moment I walked into the courtyard I knew this was where we'd get married. The cocktail room, ballroom, and wine cellar have such an incredible vibe of being so romantic but modern and elegant at the same time. The food is absolutely incredible and leave the guests with lots of options to chose from. Jessica, their wedding coordinator exceeded every expectation of mine. From the moment I met her I knew we were in good hands. I've never seen anyone have such an eye for detail and help make all your dreams and visions of the perfect atmosphere come to life. Not to mention how easy she is to work with throughout the entire experience. I truly believe I would not have had my dream wedding if it wasn't for her. Also, TJ and Connor definitely need to be mentioned as well. They were such an AMAZING team that you could truly tell love what they do. When our shuttle bus left and did not have room for about 10 of us, the 3 of them personally drove us to our hotel in their own personal cars! Ive never seen anything like it and have never been so grateful!! I promise you will not be disappointed with this venue and can honestly say having your wedding at The Madison will set you apart from all others!! Thank you again from the bottom of our hearts!!

The Madison was the perfect venue for my wedding. I fell in love with the venue. It is so modern and the urban yet elegant decor of the cocktail room set this apart from any other traditional venues. The cocktail room, reception room, wine cellar, and courtyard all left me speechless. I knew my guest would be as in love with it as I was. The true heart of the Madison can be found within Jessica the wedding venue coordinator. The thought of planning a wedding with no experience and a very small family on my side seemed so overwhelming to me.Then I met Jessica and all my fears disappeared. She truly loves what she does and works with you to make your dream wedding possible. I trusted her from the start to the end and she never let me down. I honestly believe that I would not have had my perfect wedding if it wasn't for her assistance. My guests all said that the wedding was beautiful and unlike any they have ever been to! The food was amazing and there was a huge selection for my guests. I can say that having your wedding at The Madison will make your wedding stand apart from others in the most amazing way.

Our wedding reception was at The Madison on April 30, 2016 and our guests are still reminding us of how nice of a place it is (as if we could forget). After looking at a number of venues, The Madison was recommended to us by our DJ, who has been to hundreds, (if not thousands) of venues, and who is definitely an expert in the wedding industry. From the moment we walked into The Madison’s courtyard, we knew that this was the place that we wanted to celebrate the biggest day of our lives with our family and friends. The first thing that we saw when we walked in was the gorgeous outdoor fireplace, and the atmosphere only got better with each additional minute that we were there. Both the inside and the outside of The Madison are absolutely beautiful. I would describe the venue as being modern, but extremely romantic; and what more could one want in a wedding venue?! We met with Jessica the first time that we visited The Madison and it was clear right away that she would make our wedding reception absolutely perfect. She has an eye for detail and knows exactly how to decorate the venue so that the atmosphere is exactly what you dream of. She was so helpful and so easy to work with. Everything about The Madison honestly exceeded our expectations – the staff, the food, and also the cost. The Madison was one of the lower cost venues that we looked at, by far the most beautiful venue we’ve seen, and the food was among the best we’ve tasted. Everyone we talked to loved their entrée and said cocktail hour was phenomenal! We would 100% recommend The Madison for your wedding, or any event. We promise – you will not be disappointed!Jason and Melissa Fleming
