Crystal Plaza

The Crystal Plaza was AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!! Our wedding was top notch and they had everything planned for us perfect!! From lobster and sushi, mini milkshakes in shot glasses,a self service and a Apple Martini ice statue. Many of my guests truly and honestly said that have never seen a wedding quite like ours! The service, food, and overall ambiance was exceptional. You will pay more for this place as compared to other halls in NJ, but as they say you get what you pay for. It was money well worth spent.

I am having my wedding here and I just love this place, the chandeliers and the main room is so elegant and beautiful, I can't wait to get married, but I still have some time to go!!!
Highly recommend this venue!! Crystal Plaza is the best!

Just to let the brides know, I was the groom and am leaving this review. From day one of working with Jay and the Crystal Plaza (CP), I knew our wedding would be great.What I didn't know is how much more amazing it would on the actual day. We were married this past Saturday, 1/28/12. Everyone has that "party" in their head before it happens...CP produced a party 10x that of which I could even imagine. My family is still getting phone calls about how amazing the food was, gorgeous the place was, how amazing the night was.I can say without hesitation that Jay helped us with vendors (our band The Rhythm Shop), he navigated us to the best choices through their amazing menu, and helped us create the best flow of events throughout the night.I honestly cannot say enough about my wedding aside from I am upset it's over. Now, I am hoping to be a guest at a wedding at Crystal Plaza so that I can enjoy all the food again and venue as a whole. Go see/speak/book now, you will not regret it.Oh and Leslie the bridal attendant, she's the most amazing woman ever who makes sure the bride and groom are spot on, not only helping during pictures, but throughout the whole night. CP and staff, A+++++

truly the best at what they do.

WE LOVE THE CRYSTAL PLAZA!!!!! Our wedding at the Crystal Plaza was a dream come true! My husband and I got married on January 20, 2012 and from start to finish our guests were treated like royalty and my husband and I were spoiled to death! The staff is absolutely phenomenal! We booked our wedding with Barry, who is so amazing to work with. Nella coordinated our wedding and did a FANTASTIC job with everything... Trust her opinion 100% because she knows her stuff! Leslie was my bridal assistant on the day of, and I kept calling her my angel beause that is exactly what she is! Anything we needed she was there with it, before we even realized we needed it! Sewing my bridesmaids dress that needed to be tightened, tissues perfectly tucked into my bouquet in case the tears of joy started during the ceremony, reapplying my lipstick ALLLLL night long, fixing my dress and veil to be pretty all night, cold cloths on the dance floor to cool my husband and I down, and anything and everything you can imagine ... she was there! :) Our friends and family can never stop raving about the beauty of the rooms, the amazing and ENDLESS food, the monogrammed ICE BAR was a HUUUUGE hit (this is so necessary!), and the service was TOPS! I can obviously go on and on and ON about our experience at the Crystal Plaza but you should really see for yourself! I can only hope one of our friends has a wedding there SOON so we can go back ASAP!!! <3

If I had one word to describe the Crystal Plaza it would be AMAZING!  From the moment we set foot inside and met with Nella and Barry we knew this is where we wanted our wedding to be held on December 3rd, 2011.  They made us feel at home and helped us tremendously with our Italian wedding.  We both come from large Italian families and they are definitely a tough crowd to please.  Nella worked with us and helped us create a cocktail hour and a reception that was beyond what we imagined.  Needless to say, our family was amazed and very satisfied with all the different stations....homemade mozzarella station, raw bar, pasta station, broccoli rabe, fried olives, fried fish...a feast for Italians!   The staff was outstanding, professional and courteous.  Not only were we taken care of, but our guests were very pleased with the service.  They truly made me feel like a princess for the day and it's a day I will never forget.  Friends and family can't stop talking about the food, service and fun they had. I have Nella, my bridal attendant and the staff at the Crystal Plaza to thank for making our wedding day a most memorable one.  THANK YOU

We looked at many reception facilities when planning our daughter's wedding, but immediately felt the Crystal Plaza had something special.Our daughter's wedding on November 18, 2011 was nothing short of perfection. Fred, Nella and the entire staff helped us through every step of the way. Every question was answered and every effort was made to make sure the bride and groom (and their parents) enjoyed this special occasion.Whether it was input on the menu, Leslie assisting in bustling the gown or addressing the food allergy concerns of several guests - they went above and beyond.Guests are still calling to tell us how fabulous the evening was and we've heard more than a few people comment, "That's the best wedding I have ever been to." We think that statement says it all! Sincerely,Al & Barbara Einsiedler

The Crystal Plaza in Livingston, NJ was a dream come true for my 11-11-11 wedding! I couldn't have been happier with the appearance, food, and service provided by the Crystal Plaza. Just to name a few people-Barry, Nella, Leslie, and Marco were so wonderful! Not to mention the other staff members working that night. Family and friends are telling me the service that they received was exceptional. The Crystal Plaza was interested in the details which was wonderful because as a Bride that's what I was interested in-setting my wedding a part from the others and the Crystal Plaza helped me do that. Nella sat with my family and worked out the details. Marco and Barry greeted my family and I days before the wedding and made sure that everything was ready. Nella and Leslie were so attentive the night of my wedding making sure my husband and I were taken care of. They made sure that my family and guests were taken care of as well.Everyone LOVED all the food-so many choices and delicious. My husband and I were able to eat because Nella and Leslie made sure of it!There is nothing I would have wanted differently that night.If you are looking for a venue go with the Crystal Plaza- you will not be disappointed!

The measure of true excellence is the ability to perform at the highest levels of professionalism and deliver the highest level of quality under the most challenging of circumstances. The entire Crystal Plaza staff demonstrated remarkable calm, confidence and professionalism on our wedding day to ensure that in spite of the aftermath of the rare October snow storm, downed trees and power outages, our wedding was perfect, absolutely perfect!We watched as the staff prepared the room for the party without lights. The entire staff was poised, calm and getting ready for the party...as though it was business as usual. The staff were assuring me all was fine--not even a bead of sweat...(although it was still cold in the Crystal Plaza without heat). I was worried, but their confidence calmed me down, even though I now know that behind the scenes there were Herculean efforts underway to make sure the wedding took place. Words cannot express how thankful that we all are. The truth is, we know the CP could have cancelled the affair as we have heard many venues did.Put aside the extraordinary situation, our phones have been ringing off the hook. The food, the service, the beauty of the Crystal and of course the spirituality of the wedding made this a remarkable occasion. Everyone has said that it was the best wedding they had ever been to. It was everything that we had hoped for....the physical beauty (the place and the food) combined with the spirituality and spirit of all the guests combined to make it an unforgettable occasion. Everyone was moved by the whole experience and the beauty and the warm that was made all the more special by the wonderful staff at the Crystal Plaza.Wow! Wow! Wow! The entire Crystal Plaza staff demonstrated "true excellence" under the most difficult of circumstances and made our dreams come true.

Dear Fred, Nella and all the stuff at Crystal PlazaThere are not enough words to express our gratitude to all of you! Our daughter's wedding was on that crazy Saturday, October 29 when the snow storm of the century knocked down power lines and covered the roads with inches and inches of wet snow.Fred, you are our hero! You saved our wedding and instead of being a disaster it turned out to be the most beautiful fairy tale celebration with the candles lighting up the ballroom. Nobody even guessed there was a single problem during the wedding, and our guests still raving about it! Wonderful Nella patiently and flawlessly guided us through the whole evening, food was superb, service outstanding; all the employees of Crystal Plaza were extremely polite, helpful and very professional. Thank you all from the bottom of our heart! Crystal Plaza is the NUMBER ONE place for out future celebrations! Sincerely, Gleyzer& Rozovsky families

If you are looking for a perfect venue for your wedding then look no further than Crystal Plaza. They had us at hello and it was love at first sight. When we came to Crystal Plaza and were greeted with such warmth and hospitality we knew this was the place for our dream wedding. The staff and service were impeccable. The food was delicious. Absolutely perfect venue in every way.Fred, who helped plan our event was superb. Every promise was delivered. He helped us design an incredible food menu that people are still talking about.Now lets talk about my favorite person, Nella. A true angel and an amazing woman that will forever hold a special place in my heart. She made sure our wedding day went by smoothly and handled it so professionally. She made sure my husband and I got fed while we were taking pictures. She even wiped us with wet towels while we were sweating on the dance floor, which I have never seen before. When she saw I took off my wedding shoes she ran to the bridal suite without waiting for me to say something and got my flats. As my family recalls what a spectacular event we had at Crystal Plaza, my mother and mother in law and myself still talk about how amazing Nella was and what she did for us that day. My bridal attendant, Leslie was a sweetheart. She stayed with me the whole day. She fed me as I took pictures, reapplied lipgloss, helped me to go to the bathroom, and was great company while I sat in my bridal suite during cocktail hour. So to sum it all Crystal Plaza made our dream fairtytale wedding come true!!!!Diana & Stan Kagan married October 23, 2011

If there were more stars for service, Crytsal Plaza should be rated a 6 out of 5. Their service is absolutely impeccable. They advertise they have 1 server for every 4 guests but this is 100% what they do. As a bride, they insured I had a drink in my hand at all times, that we had food, that my dress was properly bustled, and that I was able to see all the beautiful parts of the wedding without missing anything important. My guests raved about their service as wel. We had a fall wedding and they had a pumpkin mash that was to die for! They brought more to our guests! Marco and Nella listened to my ideas of wanting a true, traditional Italiian wedding and they delivered. I cannot say enough about the Crystal Plaza. They truly don't need the advertising as they are well known but I think it is impt to note that they deliver what they promise. You do have to pay a pretty penny, but it is well spent. They are like family there and once you book with them, they treat you as part of their family.

On, October 16th I had the most amazing wedding I could ever dream of. I am beyond satisfied that I choose The Crystal Plaza as my venue. They are truly the best at what they do and you can tell they are one big family and everyone who works there is so friendly and nice. I have to give a big thank you to Fred, Nella, Leslie, Ruvin, Allan, Marco, Eric, Leahann, and Cindy!!! Fred was there for me every step of the way throughout my entire year of planning. He knew my vision and we clicked right away. Nella, Leslie and Ruvin treated me like a princess my entire wedding day. From the moment we arrived at The Crystal Plaza there was food set up outside by the ceremony for my bridal party to munch on while we took pictures. Fred, Nella, Leslie and Ruvin were waiting for us as we pulled in. Our ceremony was outdoors and around it they have beautiful greenery and flowers so you really don’t have to go anywhere else to take pictures. My cocktail hour was incredible, from the unbelievable ice sculptures to the massive amounts of food. Everyone has told me there service was top notch. The ballroom is to die for! The numerous chandeliers look beautiful in pictures. From start to finish everything was perfect. I am so happy I choose the Crystal Plaza for my wedding. My family and friends all told me it was the best wedding they have ever been too. They all said the food was delicious and the dessert plate was the coolest dessert they ever saw at a wedding. I loved my wedding and would love to have another party at the Crystal Plaza in the future. I hope that one of my friends chooses the Crystal Plaza for their wedding so I can attend another party there one day.

It's hard to put into words how AMAZING the Crystal Plaza is because they left me speechless!! My fiance and I held our venue to a high standard, and they surpassed it. The attention to detail is amazing!! Fronm the moment I arrived to the very end, I felt like a princess. The food is DELICIOUS, the grounds and bulding are very well maintained, and the service is top notch. From my attendant following me throughout the cocktail hour with a tray of food (and feeding me!) to make sure I ate, to our Maitre'd (Nella is the best!!) wiping us with cold towels on the dance floor; whatever I needed was taken care of right away by my attendant Lesly(such a sweetheart!!) even before I needed it. If there was a rating higher than 5 I would give it to the Crystal Plaza...they go above and beyond in everything they do. The Crystal Plaza will forever hold a special place in my heart for giving us the wedding of our dreams! I wouldn't change a thing!!

Where do I even begin with reviewing the Crystal Plaza? There are so many positive things to be said about this place, the staff, the food and the overall experience. From the start of our wedding planning, Alan Janoff was incredible to work with and was completely focused on making myself, my husband and our respective families happy. Any question or thought I had I was able to email Alan, Jason or Nella and receive a quick response right away. Once we arrived to the Crystal Plaza we were greeted by Nella who kept the wedding on track all day and was so fantastic and a true professional. Leslie was also an incredible bridal attendant going above and beyond, helping my sister with my bustle, wiping us down with cold towels, and even feeding us!The Crystal Plaza really goes above and beyond to surpass your expectations. Our guests were truly speechless at the service they experienced as well as the food! The food is so delicious its as if you are eating at a high end restaurant. We highly recommend the Crystal Plaza and will never forget the most extrodinary day of our lives thanks to them.

We had the most classy wedding we could have ever imagined. The compliments keep trickling in. We met with Barry, co-owner of Crystal Plaza: He was timely, sincere, professional, offered great tips and recommendations (which we used), and we couldn't be happier with the results. The place itself is gorgeous. It's gilded and pristine. It's a former mansion and a ONE-wedding-only estabishment. The ladies' room is a "picture must" (you'll see). The balcony over which to toss the bouquet is an excellent touch. The ice bar and ice sculptures are just the right amount of sass-meets-sophistication. The grand room is so beautiful, you do not need flowers. We had them, but it wasn't necessary that is how gorgeous the room is. The lighting changes color throughout the night, which sets a good pace for the evening, and looks remarkable in pictures. THE MOST IMPORTANT THING is the FOOD and over that every one is still RAVING. The cocktail hour has ELEVEN stations. OVER FLOWING. It is impossible not to like this food (and that is coming from an Italian). We also had four entree selections, written on beautiful cards, all courtesy of Crystal Plaza. Each table has at least two waiters, so your guests will NOT be hanging out at the bar getting drinks (although the bar was cool (ice!), they will be on the dance floor dancing. The staff is attentive. Nella knows what she is doing and she will be with you the entire night. Final point that sums up how Class Act of an establishment this is -- my parents' friends had their daughter's wedding at Crystal Plaza and the waiter recognized them. The couple mentioned how much they enjoyed the guacamole at the Mexican cocktail station. The waiter brought them some to take home. Thanks Barry, Nella, and Staff at Crystal Plaza.

They were BEYOND amazing. I can't thank them enough for everything they did. By far the best service. You get what you pay for!

We cannot explain how perfect and amazing the Crystal Plaza was for our wedding. The building and grounds are beautiful and so well kept-you truly feel like you have your own private mansion for the evening. From the first time we met Jason we enjoyed working with him. He made the entire process so easy and everytime we called or visited prior to our day someone was available to help and anwser any question we had. They offer you so many options that will allow you to make your night unique and different from other weddings. The night was aboslutley perfect--the cocktail hour was amazing and had even more food we even expected. The ballroom was beautiful and the new lighting they put it made the room even more wonderful. My husband and I had the pleasure of Leslie and Rovin's company all night. From the moment I stepped out of the limo Leslie was by my side the entire night and wouldn't let me do a single thing. She was such a big part of why the night went so well. She provided me drinks during our photographs, managed to bustle a very complicated train in just 5 minutes so my mom didnt have to, made food for me to eat so I didnt have to stop talking with guests and just made sure everything was taken care. She is incredibly good at her job and is one of the reasons why the Crystal Plaza prides themelves on such great service. Rovin was just as outstanding and was always there when you needed something, extremely polite and kind. The entire staff at the CP is one of the reasons why it is such a great place to get married. The entire wedding ran so smoothly and all my husband and I had to worry about was having a great time. They packed all of our belongings up at the end of night, which I know I would have forgotten some things, and truly took care of everyone in my family from the moment we got there to the moment we all left. I'll never forget my wedding day and I owe a huge part of that to the Crystal Plaza and their staff.

I cannot put into words how amazing our wedding was. From the moment we walked into Crystal Plaza on the day of our wedding, we knew everything was going to absolutely perfect. Lesley and Danielle the bridal attendants were fabulous. They were right behind me every step of the way. Jason was excellent, he was so organized and made sure everything ran smoothly. Our guests have not stopped raving about how beautiful and delicious the cocktail hour was. The ice sculpture was great! The dinner presentation was beautiful and delicious as well. Everything was done just as we had discussed. It was a wonderful party. Our guests have told us, " it was the best wedding they have ever been too" and "it was the wedding of the year." Thank you so much for making us feel so special. As the bride I truly felt like a princess. It was all we could ask for and more. Thank you especially to Allan for organizing and making our wedding so surreal. Thank you to the entire staff for working so diligently in making our wedding one of a kind. (September 18, 2011)

I want to thank everyone at Crystal Plaza who made my Wedding a dream come true. from the minute I arrived to the minute I left every detail, was tended and catered to. the staff is absolutely the BEST!!!! My husband and I are in awe of what an amazing night we had. Our family and friends can not stop talking about how Delicious the food was and how on point with every detail the staff is (they are for sure on top of their game)!!! everyone at crystal plaza is absolutely a pleasure to be around. Eric, Nella, Leanne and Leslie are all absolutely TERRIFIC. All of my bridesmaids could not get over how great Leslie is. From the minute I came into crystal plaza to get ready I was catered to non-stop. not only did Leslie help me with every single detail. she helped my bridesmaids, groom, and parents. This place is hands down worth every penny. from the friendly phone service (Eric is a doll) to the most professional experienced wedding maitre' d (Nella is fab) to a bridal attendant who is there with you for all the help you need (Leslie is a doll) I would recommended this place to anyone who can afford it, and look forward to coming here again very soon.

I am writing this review as a bit of a response to the person who had nothing to eat at a Russian Style wedding. WOW!! We have attended MANY Russian style weddings and besides the word PHENOMENAL there is nothing to be said. Something fishy with that review - most people (we being Russian too) have attended several affairs at the Crystal Plaza before booking there - you must be really new to the country not to have attended a wedding there. I would assume when one books such an affair it is because the research was done. Second, you could've said that it wasn't what you expected it to be but to use the word hungry - that's a sin. There are hungry people out there. Third, my brother had his wedding there less than a year ago and words could not describe the abundance of food, the superb service, the amazing staff that made this day go as smoothly and comfortably as possible. You (whoever you are) are a great minority. If you are so upset about the HUNGRY guests - offer them a refund on the gift - that would be noble. Very Fishy! Also, this is not a Russian restaurant for you where you bring your liquor and take it home. Get with the program - not all restaurants are Russian Restaurants - you belong in that one and this seems way above you. Good luck and hope you have a great marriage and don't go hungry again.

September 3, 2011Amazing, first-class, perfect, magical.... These words cannot even begin to describe our experience at Crystal Plaza. I am an event planner with very high standards, Crystal Plaza far exceeded my preconceived notions and most extravagant dreams.THE STAFFLeslie, Nella, Fred and the rest of the staff at Crystal Plaza are so attentive and professional. They are warm, affectionate and caring - even though they do this every weekend, they made us feel special and unique. When we arrived for pictures, they had food and champagne prepared for us. It was a warm day, so they had ice cold towels for my legs and a constant supply of cold drinks. My dress got a little dirty from walking in the grass, I was soo upset. They cleaned my dress in two minutes and made it look brand new. Every picture that we took, they were there to fix our hair, dresses and tuxes. The waiters were professional and kind. It seemed like they really cared about us and our guests. At every point, they were there with a smile on their face. At the end of the night, my feet were killing me. They gave me flip flops!THE FOODThe food and service were outstanding; it's comparable to a five-star restaurant. We have been to many weddings and nothing comes close to Crystal Plaza. When originally selecting food options, Fred gave us his recommendations and guided the process. Every promise that he made was fulfilled tenfold. COCKTAIL HOUR! There were at least 10 different styles of ice sculptures; it was soo extravagant. There were entire bars made of ice - martini glasses, ice bowls, etc. The food was amazing. It seemed as though wherever you looked, people were eating different, exquisite dishes. There was so much food to select! My husband is Russian and we wanted the food to be served Russian Style. This means that there is a constant supply of food, and plates are served family style. When we entered the hall, the tables were filled with the most exquisite appetizers. And, the food kept coming! During dinner waiters constantly walked around, serving our guests an endless supply of 5 different entrees. The steak, lamb, fish, chicken and lobster were out of this world amazing! Each dish made it to our table (we had a huge one), I took tiny bites of everything. A table of my guests were outside during this time, and as soon as they returned to their table, the waiters appeared from nowhere and immediately served them with hot food. The Venetian Hour was incredible. It felt like wherever you turned your head, there was another dessert. I cannot even list all the desserts, but I am sure everyone was able to find their favorites. It was the most amazing night.THE VENUE & GROUNDSThe venue and gardens are beautiful. The gazebo and cobblestone walkway are extremely romantic. The hall has huge ceilings and a balcony with gorgeous chandeliers. Simply Spectacular!My only regret is that the night went by so fast! I can't wait to make babies, so we can have their parties here!

When my sister got married at the Crystal Plaza back in 2006, I knew the second we started planning her wedding there, that one day, this is where I would be getting married. Sure enough, on August 13, 2011, my husband and I had the most amazing night of our lives, and we owe it to the staff at Crystal Plaza (and our parents!) Barry, Leslie, Rovin, Leanne, and Marcos were the most professional and extraordinary staff members you can find. From the moment we started planning, to the moment we walked out to the CANDY TRUCK at the end of the night, the day was magical.We were planning on getting married outside in the beautiful garden. Everything was set up, pictures were taken, drinks were flowing, and almost all guests had arrived. Not until 5 minutes before our ceremony, we were told there were rain drops!! The crew at CP, not only made us feel completely at ease about this "situation", but they quickly transformed the room upstairs into the most magnificent ceremony setting you can imagine!Leslie was on top of her game the moment we pulled up that day. My dress had a big train and as it was busseled correctly, it kept getting loose and guests were stepping on it on the dance floor. Leslie was able to use her magical powers (I swear she has them!) to fix it and make it perfect!About a month and a half later, we still have friends talking about the food!! The cocktail hour was above and beyond anything we could have ever imagined. The ice sculptures were exquisite works of art! During the reception, there was never a lack of responsiveness from the staff, and everyone was so professional and helpful! The dinner food was incredible. My husband and I were not able to eat as much as we wanted (we were told this would happen...boo! because it was OUR wedding) but we were able to taste the mouth-watering entrees when they sent us home with one of each!! The veal chop was unbelievable!! And the dessert...trays of delicious donuts, fried oreos, and mini milkshakes passed out on the dance floor, along with two amazing creations at the tables kept all of our guests in continuous amazement. The next morning, my husband and I woke up and said to each other that we wish the night lasted forever. Our wedding was more than we could ever have dreamed of! We cannot wait to be guests at another event at the Crystal Plaza to experience the moments again. If we could go back and do it all over again, we would not change a thing!! Thank you, Crystal Plaza, for making our wedding the most amazing day of our lives! ~Keri and Scott

Amazing. Spectacular. Above and beyond. These are some of the words that come to mind when we think of the Crystal Plaza. The Crystal Plaza is where our wedding celebration took place on July 16, 2011. From planning our wedding to the execution of it, we had an overwhelmingly positive experience. It was 100% stress free.We partnered with Fred to plan our celebration and he was a everything we could have hoped for and more! Marco was our maitre d’ and he was tremendous. Marco was organized, well prepared and anticipated every move. Marco partnered directly with all of our vendors to ensure everything went according to plan. We are so grateful to Marco for all that he did to make our day as special as it was and exactly as we planned it. Lesley and Rovin were our attendants and they were phenomenal. Their attentiveness exceeded our expectations and was second to none. Lesley and Rovin attended to our every need…if we were hot, they had cold towels to cool us down, if we needed a drink, another one appeared….all of this happened without us even having to ask. All of these individuals were able to help us create memories that we will cherish for our entire life. We can’t thank them enough.One month later, our family and friends are still commenting on how amazing our wedding was…”This was the best wedding we’ve ever been to.” Our guests were amazed by the ambience of the mansion and the quality and quantity of food. Our cocktail hour and Viennese hour were truly amazing….you can’t even imagine how wonderful it was. We had (5) bars made of ice, individuals making homemade mozzarella, an olive oil bar, a raw seafood bar with clams, oysters, shrimp, crab claws and lobster tails (the lobster tails were taken out of the shell), individuals making homemade cannoli’s and zeppoles, and on, and on, and on. The quality of food was top notch and every attention to detail was looked after.As one of our guests was leaving, he said to us, “This was like a Disney Wedding.” The Crystal Plaza was able to make our dreams become a reality. Special thanks to Fred, Marco, Nella, Lesley and Rovin.Nesa and Patrick

I had my wedding at the Crsytal Plaza on July 15th and booking them was the best decision I could have made. From start to finish they were friendly, helpful, and professional. Our event could not have run any smoother and looked more beautiful. From start to finish they thought of everything. Our guests were enamored with the beauty of the ballroom, the delicious food at the cocktail hour which seemed endless, and the martini bar which was made out of ice and was never empty. Just the variety of food choices alone at the cocktail hour blew everyone away and the dessert hour was like nothing I have ever seen before. Our guests left telling us that after being at over 20 weddings that this was hands down the best. Nella took care of making sure everything ran smoothly and that my husband and I had everything we needed. Our assistant, Donna, was absolutely amazing! She thought of things before we even asked and even brought cold towels to cool us down on the dance floor. They even recently installed beautiful uplighting which gave the room a glow and just set the mood for our guests as they entered. If you want an unbelievable event, with unbelievable service, and the nicest most wonderful staff to work with book the Crystal Plaza. You won't regret your choice!

To any bride and groom who wish to have a memorable wedding reception:We never thought it could be as amazing as it was. We first met with Barry who was professional, patient, and invaluably helpful with our preparations. On our wedding day we arrived to the mansion and it felt like it was all ours. We were welcomed by the staff who pampered us like royalty. Our maitre'd Nella personally made sure that we wanted for nothing throughout the whole reception. Rovin our butler made us feel like masters of the house, and served well throughout the night. Donna our assistant went far and beyond to make us comfortable and smiling all night. In essence the entire staff could not have been better. To this day our guests still compliment us for choosing such an incredable place, and in all honesty, we enjoyed our reception emensly, but we hope that someone we know has their reception at the Crystal Plaza just so we can experience it again as guests.

Perfect across the board!! Starting with Fred Fogg, our event coordinator, and ending with Nella and Leslie our wedding day managers, everything was fantastic. The entire process was stress free and easy. We didn't have to worry about a single thing. All the details were carefully planned out by the impeccable staff and there is not a single thing we would have changed about our entire wedding night.Nothing about our night was cookie cutter. All of our guests were floored by the original cocktail hour (4 unique ice sculptures/bars), sushi of the highest caliber, and the amazing service. We can't thank Fred enough for putting together such an incredible night. We would recommend the Crystal Plaza without hesitation. You will not regret it! Stacy and Noah

I truly can't say enough good things about the Crystal Plaza. From the very beginning to the very end, they have been such a pleasure to deal with! We got married there on June 10th and it completely beat our expectations by far. We knew it was a beautiful place with supposedly good service and good food but we didn't realize how incredible they really are. Barry, the banquet manager treated us with top notch professionalism. He got back to me in a flash with all our questions and gave us his undivided attention. Nella, our maitre'd was also amazing. She is so good at her job and very passionate about ensuring that the day is going to run smoothly. She was key in making it a special day and keeping us calm and relaxed at all times. She doesn't miss a thing. Leslie, the bridal assistant was also there every step of the night to be sure everyone had what they needed before they could even ask. Simply put, the Crystal Plaza knows how to do weddings the right way.People are still telling me everyday how amazing our wedding was. The food was spectacular, the presentation beautiful and the service unbeatable. They went above and beyond and then above and beyond again and again.

The Crystal Plaza was an unbelievable place to get married!! We had an amazing experience and would not have changed a thing! The venue was absolutely perfect for outside pictures and for either an outside or inside ceremony. We were planning on having our ceremony outside yet it started raining an hour before the guests arrived. The staff were able to move everything inside smoothly and quickly and made it look just as beautiful inside. The food unbelievable!!! We had never seen so many stations at the cocktail hour ( which also tasted delicious) choosen from a list of options with anything we could ever image! Nella helped us with everything and was the absolute best!! She made sure everything ran smoothly and made sure that everything was perfect for me on that day! I felt so comfortable knowing she was there taking care of things so I could just enjoy the day! Marco was also extremely helpful this during the party and was great to work with! All In all our wedding in was truly a dream come true thanks to everyone at crystal plaza!!

The Crystal Plaza was absolutely beautiful!!!!!! We loved having our wedding there! Everthing was wonderful; from the attentiveness of the staff before the wedding, to all the details through the end of the night! Fred made us feel comfortable right away,as we made the major decision to book our wedding.. Leslie, our bridal attendant, was amazing! She was there to fix anything that happened to be our of place or went wrong; she even fed me during cocktail hour! Marco, the matre d', was there every step of the way; from the planning leading up to the day through the timeline of our reception. EVERYTHING WAS WONDERFUL! THANKS CRYSTAL PLAZA!

On May 20th I had my dreams come true. My fiance and I were blown away, as we had high expectations, but the service, professionalism, energy, friendliness, responsiveness that were received that evening were unbelievable. From that day on and until today we are still getting phone calls, emails, and texts about our Wedding Night. The presentation of the food from the cocktail hour, to every course that came there after during the reception, to the Venetian Hour, we were extremely satisfied. Our Wedding Cake was designed exactly to what we imagined and discussed...The attendants that day; Nella, Lindsey, and Jason were more than we could ever ask for...in being attentive to not only our needs but to our guests. All of our guests were taken care of. As I started in saying, all of my dreams came true as being a bride at the one and only Crystal Plaza.

My husband and I got married at the Crystal Plaza on April 3rd and every single aspect of our wedding day was spectacular. The staff at the Crystal Plaza went above and beyond in every way. Everyone was incredibly attentive and personable and literally catered to our every need. The entire planning process was seamless and easy making our wedding day stress free and so much fun. We could not have imagined how perfect the day would be. All of our guests raved about the food, the presentation, the cocktail hour, the drinks, the service and aesthetic of the venue. We could not have asked for anything more if we tried. If you are looking to enjoy your wedding day and leave the details to the professionals, this is the place for you. Thank you Crystal Plaza for making our wedding the most amazing day!!

We just had our wedding reception at the Crystal Plaza and I wouldn't describe it as anything less than perfect! We were looking for a cocktail style wedding and upon our first meeting with Fred he knew exactly what we were looking for and that the Crystal Plaza loved throwing parties like that. They went beyond our expectations and we couldn't be happier. Friends and Family have done nothing but rave about how beautiful the venue was and how fabulous the food was and how unbelievable the service was. Nella and team were truly AMAZING. I've never been catered to in such a way in my entire life. From the holding of umbrellas outside in the rain, to the cold towel compresses when stepping off the dance floor, to the pinning of my bustle when it started to fall later into the night. Everything was just incredible!! I couldn't have imagined or asked for more. I would highly recommend the Crystal Plaza to anyone!! I can't thank them enough for everything!

It just doesn't get better than Crystal Plaza. The grounds, the food, and the service are all top-notch. To start, the cocktail hour was absolutely spectacular - we didn't give much direction and, in turn, Crystal Plaza performed way above our expectations. Specialty martinis, an ice bar (that is, an entire bar made of ice!!), lamb chops, sushi -- I could go on and on. Suffice it to say that some of our friends were amazed that there was dinner served afterwards! The seated dinner was equally impressive -- truly, top restaurant-quality meals served to each guest. Our friends and family are still raving about the food and the service. They said that the servers were so attentive that each guest felt that they had their own butler for the length of the reception! The staff took great care of me, my husband, and our bridal party from the moment we arrived until they sent us home with our belongings neatly packed (as well as a couple of doggie bags for late-night noshing!). My attendant, Donna, has the sweetest disposition and took care of my every need, from supplying food/drink, reapplying lip gloss, to bustling my dress. Our maitre d, Nedda, was superb. She is a real pro and firmly kept everything running smoothly, yet was supportive when I voiced my preferences as far as the day's events. We are so happy we chose Crystal Plaza as the setting for our big day...and are hoping to be a guest at an event there in the near future! :)

I would recommend Crystal Plaza 100%. We had the most beautiful wedding in March of 2011. We had our ceremony take place in the ballroom in front of all of our guests and had a cocktail reception, which was GREAT! We had so much food, so many different stations, and had soup to nuts. The food was great, the service was great, the professionalism was outstanding. I can't thank Nella and Leslie enough for doing such a great job!! We felt like a King and Queen on our special day. Nella outdid herself that day and through the whole planning stage. The band we hired Opera 3000, was the greatest, and had people dancing all night long!! The room was absolutely stunning and couldn't ask for anything more. Thank you Crystal Plaza!

I got married here on March 12, 2011 and couldn't have imagined getting married anywhere else! Everything was PERFECT. From the food to the service, I couldn't have asked for more! Fred gave us everything we could have ever wanted and Nella and Lesley made my day perfect. Everyone kept commenting how calm I was the entire day and it was definitely because the staff- I had no worries and knew everything was under control. The entire staff was so accommodating and my guests are raving that it was the BEST wedding they have ever been to. I am SO HAPPY I got married at the Crystal Plaza. They truly made me feel like a princess!!!!

We just had our wedding at the Crystal Plaza on February 20th, 2011. Our wedding was an absolute dream come true. The venue is truly magnificent. They listened to everything we wanted and brought it to a whole new level!!! Allan, Nella and the rest of the staff at the Crystal went above and beyond. Working with them made the day stress and hassle free. Everything was taken care of before we could even think about it. We would recommend the Crystal Plaza 100%.

I recently had my wedding (both ceremony and reception) at Crystal Plaza and words can't describe how amazing and perfect the day was! It was literally a dream come true!! Family and friends can't keep talking about it being the best wedding they have ever been to BY FAR. The venue is gorgeous and the service is incredible... 1 waiter, 2 butlers to a table! And the food, to die for (which is rare at a wedding). I wasn't even interested in wedding cakes, yet they provided me with the most beautiful cake i have EVER seen.. i have the pictures to prove it!!! Jason, Nella, and Leslie made my cinderella wedding come to life... I owe them so much and can't thank them enough!!! I feel so lucky to have had such a perfect day and owe it all to the Crystal Plaza =)

Crystal Plaza threw us a truly spectacular affair. During the planning Fred gave us pretty much everything we wanted and provided his professional opinion when we needed it- such as how to balance out the cocktail hour station selections and when we were deciding between different entree accompaniments. He and the pastry chef Marco also worked with me to create a special groom's cake that my husband loved. They have even offered to make another one for us since he didn't get to try it that night! Our guests all said they had never had such delicious food at a wedding before, and the amount of food was outrageous. (They even packed up a ton of extra food and sent it home with us. My parents, my in-laws, and my husband and I are still eating cookies, cupcakes, cake, short ribs, corned beef, dumplings... etc!) Our maitre'de, Jason took great care of us- directing the bridal party as well as his staff and made things run smoothly. My bridal attendant Leslie literally fed me- I never thought I would be one of those brides who doesn't eat! She reapplied my lipstick, bustled my dress, sprayed my hair back into place, sprayed static guard on my train and wrinkle releaser on my veil. She even patted us down with cool cloths when we (my family included) became sweaty from all the dancing. I had no idea I would need all those things but I certainly appreciated it. They brought all the food to our table so we could spend more time celebrating with our guests. Crystal Plaza pulled out all the stops and provided us with the best service we could ever dream of on our wedding day and made us, our families, and our friends extremely happy. Thank you!

My husband I got married January 15, 2011 at The Crystal Plaza. We live in Miami, Florida and decided to give up the beautiful weather in January to have our wedding at the most beautiful venue. We fell in love from the moment we saw the place. The entrance and outside area are breathtaking. We loved the feeling of the inside and especially loved the staff. Allan and his team were beyond amazing and professional. They eliminated every stress a bride and groom may have. Our wedding was way beyond our expectations and anything we can ever dream of. The cocktail hour was a huge hit. I still have people contacting me telling me they have never in all of the weddings they have been to experienced a party like this. The food was delicious and we especially loved the sweet touch Allan surprised us with for dessert. All I had to do was mention I loved coconut cake and he made it his business to add mini coconut cakes to everyone's dessert platter. The service is the best I have ever seen I cannot find one thing wrong or that I would've changed. I would highly encourage any bride and groom looking at this venue to do it!!! It will be everything you want and more it was our fairytale wedding and we are so happy:)

It is difficult to put into words the unbelievable feelings that a wedding at the Crystal Plaza will leave you with. I knew that they had a reputation for being the best around, but my wedding day was beyond what I anticipated and expected. From our first meeting with Fred, the told us he would blow us away, and he went beyond our expectations. From what we were told the cocktail hour was unbelievable, we unfortunately missed it becasue we did not see each other prior to the ceremony so pictures and bustling my dress took up a lot of time. My wedding cake came out amazing, exactly like the picture that I provided them with. The service provided from the time I arrived from the lovely woman, LeAnne at the coat check, to the waiter who took his suspenders off his body and gave them to my husband becasue his pants were too big, to Leslie, my attendant who was there to touch up my lipstick, blot my face, wipe us down with cold towels and and one point when my bustle came loose, behind me with needlenose pliers fixing my dress, and of course Nella, the Maitre D, who made sure the whole night ran flawlessly. The service was like nothing I have ever experienced. I really felt like I was treated like royalty or a celebrity for the day! Overall, the experience, service, and reputation of the Crystal Plaza will amaze you and surpass all expectations. There was not one thing I had to worry about on my wedding day because of their knowledgable staff who will go above and beyond to make your wedding day spectacular. By far, choosing the Crystal Plaza was the best decision we could have made. I just hope I get invited to a wedding there soon so I can experience everything that they have to offer and enjoy it from a guest's perspective. Thank you Crystal Plaza, for truely being phenomenal!

Crystal Plaza was unbelievable. We had a fairy tale wedding. The venue is stunning, both indoors and outdoors. The service is impeccable (if you have the opportunity to select your wedding attendant for the day, ask for Claudia. She has quickly become a legend in my family for how unbelievably well she took care of us that day). All our guests raved about the food. The wedding exceeded my wildest expectations. We were working with a relatively short time frame, and Fred (the banquet director) helped us find a florist, photographer, and band. His choices were all perfect.I cannot say enough great things about working with the Crystal Plaza- our experience-- and our guests' experience-- was AMAZING.

We had our wedding at The Crystal Plaza in October of 2010. A little time has passed since then and I must say myself, my family, and every last one of our guests is still to this day in absolute awe of the amazingness of this venue. People still tell us that our wedding at Crystal Plaza was the best they have ever been to, and that means a lot when you have a "Russian Style" wedding with mostly Russian guests as we did (they arent very easy to please). When Fred, Nella, and the team at Crystal Plaza set up our affair, all the stops were pulled out. Saying that they went above and beyond would be an undersatement. We even had many pleasant, unexpected suprises that we didnt know where part of our affair. The staff at Crystal Plaza really knows how to take care of their guests. From the food, to the service, to the beauty, and experience in managing a crazy day like that, I have to say I would never consider any venue that can come close to the way we were taken care of at The Crystal Plaza.I am quite disappointed with one of the poor reviews here, particularly the Russian affair. If you would have brought the bottles yourself, take them home, thats fine. But I am sure you did not. The food, how you can say that the food was anything less than exceptional is beyond me. If you want buttery pelmeni go to Brighton Beach, but I am sure the Crystal Plaza can make that happen if you so desire. You perhaps need to re-read your contract. I can guarantee that many of the more common "Russian venues" would have a serious lesson to learn from the skill, quality and first class delivery of everything that the Crystal Plaza team can do. I can't imagine having another joyous occassion at any other place than The Crystal Plaza.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about my entire experience with the Crystal Plaza. To say they threw my dream wedding would be an understatement. The food was incredible, the staff was SO attentive and knew what I needed before I even asked for anything, the decorations were so beautiful that I didn't even need centerpieces. Our family and friends could not say enough about how much fun our reception was.

Everyone at the Crystal Plaza was AMAZING with helping me prepare for our wedding. Once the day came, they went above and beyond what I wanted from them to insure my husband and I had the best time. My guest are still raving about all the great food and service.

From the minute we first Barry a year before the wedding, until the last guest left the building, the Crystal Plaza and their employee’s did a perfect job! Barry always quickly responded to our million questions. We found him to be a trustworthy and honest person. At the day of the wedding, our maitre d was Jason, he was very helpful during the day. The entire staff was extremely attentive and they were very friendly. One of Jason’s assistants was Leslie, she was fantastic! Before the ceremony, she actually fed us! They made us feel like a king and queen. She helped bustle the wedding dress several times. Everyone thought the food was great! We would highly recommend the Crystal Plaza to anyone.

Words cannot describe how happy I am that I chose the Crystal Plaza! From the first day, Barry has been nothing but prefessional and caring. They made sure that everything went perfect. Nella was amazing and my butler even fed me fruit to make sure I wouldnt get messy. The crystal plaza is a top notch place and I will definitly have other functions there! I give them an A++++++++++++

Thank you for making our evening a worry free evening. We loved every aspect of the Crystal Plaza, from the beautiful garden to the outstanding service given. The great food and service was incredible. Thank you for making our dream wedding venue come true!

The Crystal Plaza is by far the best wedding venue!! Their professionalism, service, and willingness to go above and beyond is exceptional. Fred and Allen were very accommodating and handled special requests and even added a few surprises the day of the wedding that made our event even better. They have an ability to make you feel so important and the attention to detail is immeasurable. Leslie, the bridal attendant went so far as to standing in mud to hold my gown up so it would not get ruined while outside taking photos. Nella was right there when I needed her without my asking specifically for something, she was already there with it, like she read my mind. At one point towards the end of the night, I was so hot from dancing, she immediately came over with a cold, wet cloth to cool me off! Aside from service, the food was absolutely amazing! So many of our guests were amazed at the quality and amount of food that they served. Everything was fresh and prepared with such an attention to detail. I could not have imagined nor expected the exceptional quality of service and great food that came with booking the Crystal Plaza. Look no further!!

The Crystal Plaza was the BEST place to get married. Not only is the place magical, the food excellent, but the service is impeccable and all at a great value. I can't wait to be invited to a wedding there!

The Crystal Plaza really took all of my wedding dreams and made them more than a reality. Fred and Nella were unbelievable to work with. The food, service and decor was incredible. People have not stopped talking about our wedding. Everything was PERFECT!!

Absolutely amazing! Nella was our maitre'd and Leslie and Vinny assisted throughout the night. The whole night ran smoothly and was fabulous. The curls in my hair had fallen from the morning and Leslie redid my hair in the bridal suite! Two words TOP NOTCH the service as well as the food! I couldn't have asked for a better venue!

Service was excellent. The food was awesome.

Crystal Plaza went above and beyond my expectations, which were very high to begin with. The staff is so experienced and professional, that I did not have to worry about a thing on my day. My maitre-d, Nella, was absolutely amazing the entire night. She always knew what I wanted without me even having to ask. She even brought cool towels to my husband and I when she saw we were getting hot dancing. She took care of everything the whole night, along with the many butlers that were there to assist us. I never had to ask anyone for a drink because it was always there before I finished. The cake, food, ice sculptures, ect. were perfect! All of our guests could not stop raving about the food and service. Highly recommend this venue to anyone that wants the perfect wedding!

The Crystal Plaza made the planning of my wedding a breeze. They were always there to answer questions and solve any problem that came up. Allan, the owner, took on the responsibility of being the point person for all of my other vendors, the minute we got there on the day of the wedding we were taken excellent care of. They had butlers/attendants following me (the bride), the groom, and our parents, to make sure everything was perfect, and it was. I would highly highly recommend them.

We loved every aspect of the Crystal Plaza, from the beautiful mansion to the impeccable service given during our wedding reception. Every dollar spent is worth it with their great food and service. They made it my dream wedding venue.

WHen I think about the beauty that was my wedding receptionI get tears in my eyes. Crystal Plaza was so amazing. I was married on 10/12/2008 and my guests still rave about it. The were so accomadating and generous with us. They made every moment of the day perfect. Whatever I asked for during the preparation, I received. I was completely amazed when I walked in and saw the tiny crystals I bought for around my centerpieces had all be hand placed Face up in a beautiful design. The details were all cared for. The dessert hour was unreal, 100s of desserts. I asked simply for a few of them be replaced with sugar free cakes for my diabetic guests. What I got was an entire table of choices for their dietairy needs! My husband was given a private stock of his favorite scotch to enjoy with his new father-in-law during the wedding and while enjoying the hand rolled cigars being made during the dessert hour. We wanted for nothing. Our private valets were on hand every moment to make sure we never had to do anything for ourselves. WE felt like a King and queen. The food was outrageous. It in no way tasted like catered food. IT was flavorful, unique and elegant. My guests had 6 different courses to choose from. The cocktail hour had more stations and food options than I have ever seen in my life. I have had brides come to me and tell me directly that I set the bar very high for them now that they are planning their own weddings. I would have my wedding there a 1000 times more!

Quite a few things went wrong on my wedding day - rain, struggles with my photographer, I even forgot my underwear..... but the Crystal Plaza is on of my two vendors which gets a stellar review. Even in the middle of my throwdown stomping tantrum about the weather, they were patient and kind. Never crass or crude with the delicate bride. Vinny, my personal attendant for the day, could not have been better. When I started to stress, he sensed it and quietly held his tray out with my drink, with a single straw so I wouldn't mess my lipstick. They were wonderful. They put up with me. They made me laugh in the middle of my bridezilla moments. There was a cancellation, so we got an even better price by moving our date just one week. My parents and friends said it was the most beautiful wedding they have ever been to. Every step of the way, they were there for me, they communicated with me. And even though I'm sure they see similar things every single weekend, they made me feel like I was the only bride ever there. Go with the Crystal Plaza and you won't be disappointed.

Fred at the Crystal Plaza was the most accommodating and thorough host. He made me feel at ease throughout the process and kept giving me more ideas to make my wedding spectacular. He truly acted as a wedding planner!!!! If any bride is in question on weather to have their wedding here, you MUST! My husband and I had the best night with surprises all around. Food, drinks... everything was top of the line. The cocktail hour was ridiculous and the after party even better! If you do book, ask for Nella to be your maitre de. SHE IS AMAZING.

I can not say enough positive things about Crystal Plaza. Every single element of our day exceeded my expectations. The venue is beautiful, the food is phenomenal, but it is the staff that really makes this place so special. They only cater to one event at a time, and I was surrounded by no less than 4 event managers throughout the day. They coordinated all the events and seamlessly moved the wedding party from one thing to the next. I was always being greeted by someone asking if I needed anything, giving me champagne (with a straw!) or a cold glass of water just when I needed it. They were just as attentive to our parents and the bridesmaids and groomsmen. I simply didn't have to think about - much less worry about - anything that day.Your guests will be impressed with the little details: white-gloved servers, an outrageous amount of food, and a beautiful setting. This was, by far, the best wedding-related decision we made. I would recommend Crystal Plaza to any bride!

This is the greatest place in the world. People are still talking about my wedding...they really know how to treat you and your guests. A+ all around.

Barry at the Crystal was amazing. He was thorough and caring, detail oriented and flexible. He gave us everything you could ever imagine and more. The food was AMAZING, the service 5 STAR, and the value for cost was extremely high. We had the entire mansion, the staff were all friendly and helpful at all times. They went out of their way to make our day extraordinary. Our wedding day went off without a hitch. We sat back and relaxed as they took care of everything. If there was any problem - we certainly did not have a clue. The bartenders are wonder, as are the chefs and servers. That day - they were part of the family! The planners and Men In Black did such a wonderful job at directing us during the ceremony and setting things up so seamlessly that not one guest could see any detail out of place. I hope to get remarried here in 24 years!

My husband and I were married 8/4/07 at the Crystal Plaza and STILL have dreams about our fairy tale wedding!!!From the moment we walked in the magical double glass doors to start getting dressed till the car was packed for us to leave we were treated like royalty!Nella ran our 25 person procession like clock-work, Fred created a menu that my friends still talk about and we even had our own personal butlers following us around all night to give us cold towels to blot our face from dancing or touch up my lipstick.I need to back to the food for a moment- we have NEVER had- and still have not had such delicious, elegant, beautifully presented h'ordeuvres, dinner and dessets!I had the Crystal do my cake and they made my vision become reality. We danced the night away in the beautifully decorated Victorian ballroom after we were married in the most romantic ceremony in the round.The Crystal Plaza was the easiest and most PERFECT decision we made!!!

Excellent place for a wedding to this day, guests are still raving about the food. Not only is the food top notch, they serve a TON of food, everyone went home very happy & full. Afterall, it's the food that everyone remembers the most. I actually had the ceremony and reception here, ceremonies can be held @ Crystal Plaza with no extra charge which is very convenient for me and my guests. You have the option of having the ceremony either indoors or outdoors depending on the weather. I had mine outdoors and it was BEAUTIFUL. Crystal Plaza caters only to one wedding at a time so you don't have to worry about other wedding parties intruding your wedding. The wedding cake is also provided by Crystal Plaza which is also great because it was one less thing I had to think about. I don't love the decor so much it's Victorian style, but othewise, I highly recommend this place it's AMAZING.

everyone at the crystal plaza were amazing and so helpful! we had an absoultly beautiful wedding that people are still talking about 3 years later!!!

The Crystal Plaza is the "real deal". They were everything they represented they would be. Elegant execution. Staff was incredible and my contact, Nella did everything she said she would to make the day "magical" as she promised.

I had my wedding at the Crystal Plaza, and people can't stop talking about it. "top notch" were their words. They treat you like royalty, wait on you hand and foot, and basically know what you need before you ask for it. They even came over to my husband and I on the dance floor to cool us off with wet cloths!

Although I have to admit that Crystal Plaza is VERY pricey, you definitely get what you pay for! If you're looking for a reception site that will cater to your every need and treat you, your new spouse, and both sets of parents like royalty, this is the site to choose! The 6 of us (myself, my husband, my parents, and his parents), were attended to at every second of the event. The guests were offered seconds of their main courses, something that I have never seen at other reception sites, and the food was absolutely amazing! The wedding cake was also absolutely beautiful- and it was included in the price! The only reason why I gave Crystal Plaza a 4.5 for flexibility is because myself and my bridal party showed up a little late and I requested that the cocktail hour be extended a bit. They gladly extended it 30 minutes, but shortened, and even rushed, the remainder of the reception. I understand that I only paid for 5 hours, but my photographer told me that most other places would have still added on the time at the end. He even questioned the matri'd as to if they would be giving me the extra time at the end and he responed, "No, we're getting out of here at 11:30." That's the only part that I was upset with (fortunately I wasn't told this until 2 months later). I feel like, for the price I paid, they could have been a bit more flexible and understanding. All in all, you get what you pay for, and at Crystal Plaza you will definitely get impeccable service and food!

First of all, the place is just absolutely breathtaking both inside and out. Our pictures here came out amazing. Second, the people are all incredible. They care about every detail, and they are very patient with any questions/concerns you may have. Third, the food was out of this world!! My father in law, who always complains about food, had no complaints whatsoever. Overall, the place is OUTSTANDING and worth every penny.

The Crystal Plaza was fantastic. Everything was beautiful.

Great place. Highly recommend it. Food is high quality, delicious, and there is a huge abundence of it. Guests will not be leaving hungry if they're at Crystal Plaza! ...And food is THE most important thing at a wedding!

We couldn't have picked a better location for our reception. From our first visit to the site, to working with the staff before the big day, to the day of, they were professional, accomodating and helpful. Since they only have 1 wedding at a time, all atention is on your event. The only thing you miss out on is a tasting of the food, but they go based on reputation and it is worth it. We still hear compliments on the food 2 years later! The staff was awesome, I diedn't worry about a trhing the entire evening!

I had a very hard day on my wedding day due to family dynamics. The staff at the Crystal Plaza were absolutely wonderful before the wedding and on the day of the wedding. They did their best to reduce the stress of a very tense situation. I have many regrets from my wedding day, but choosing the Crystal Plaza as the venue was definitely not one of them. They make you feel very special and always accommodate you to meet every request.

The place is amazing! We received a pretty good deal from them because we were flexible with our dates. Otherwise, I think their prices would have been very steep. The place itself is gorgeous, with its victorian facade and decor. The food was exceptional. I was a little hesitant in the beginning because they don't offer food tasting. But my guests loved everything from the drinks made at the bar, to the food served during cocktail hour, to the actual dinner served, and finally the dessert. The dessert was so amazing. I'm drooling just thinking about it. The cake was gorgeous and delicious, I wish I had remembered to take it home!What I liked best about this place was the Maitre 'D. He was so helpful and was on top of everything. The wait staff were great too. They even served us shots on the dance floor!

I have a mixed review. The food and location was a drem come true I really loved my reception venue and they were great until the day of. The following things disspointed me. My wedding cake was supposed to match my colors white & tiffany blue on the day of when I walked into the reception my cake was all BEIGE this did not go with ANYTHING else. I honestly was/am so upset that I don't even want a picture of it in my album. Second thing that disappointed and really upset my husband was we were supposed to get 2 ice sculptures (1 NY Yankees one VERY IMPORTANT ONE), princess style anything like a castle etc) when I got to my cocktail hour they told me the yankee one had broken and the one they did provide me looked nothing princess style it was a huge block of ice with our initials. Final thing was my maitre d left 1/2 way through the reception to her defense there was an emergency at home of sorts and she did tell me matron of honor who did not want to upset me further at the time A replacement maitr d stepped in. So those were the negatives the positives are that the ballroom is amazing. The bar & wait staff were great & the food was outrageous. My guests never knew of the things that had upset me but nonetheless I was upset on my wedding day

Crystal Plaza was amazing. Everything about this place is top knotch. It's expensive, but you get what you pay for. The food was off the charts and was the service. We have more then a handful of people tell us it was the best wedding they have even been to.

It was a great place for our wedding! We loved out wedding! Everything was perfect!

We had our wedding at the Crystal Plaza in May. Nella and the entire staff was amazing. The food was incredible and the ballroom is stunning. We visited many halls in NJ, and this one far surpassed all the rest. Beware that you will pay a pretty penny especially if you have it on a Saturday night during peek wedding season as we did. But in the end we couldn’t be happier with our choice in venue.

one of the best experieces in professionalism ever!

After much debate over where I was going to have my wedding I had finally decided on Crystal Plaza based on its beautiful decor. The plates had cost us nearly 260, however we only go 60 dollars worth. We had many guests coming from all over expecting a great meal but received anything but. Not only was the food bad but there was none of it. We were promised an abundance of food overflowing our tables but instead received nothing, guests that were dancing were not even offered any food, we had made an agreement to have the waiters walk around with the main courses so that guests could have as much as they wanted, russian style, the waiters did not even go to more than half the tables and those tables that they did go to weer ones with guests dancing and once the guests did seat themselves the waiters did not come back around to offer them food and plates were taken away so fast that even those few that did receive food did not get into enjoy it. We paid for top shelf bottles, and at the end of the night we were not allowed to take any of it home. Dishes that had been promised to be there were not. I would NOT recommend anyone to do their wedding at the crystal plaza, guests had left our wedding hungry if you want to save yourself the embarrassment do NOT make your wedding here.

Wow, what can I say..I got Married here!! Recently one of my Brides Rivka got married here and it brought back such beautiful memories!! We have linked up with The Crystal Plaza and they have as well. Please check them out as one of the many Vendors - they are Kosher too!! Just ask for Barry - Director.

The Crystal Plaza is awesome. Premium Entertainment has the opportunity to perform there on occasion and when we do the staff is not only incredibly accommodating, they are hands-down the best at what they do. We welcome the opportunity to work at the Crystal Plaza whenever we can.

What a wonderful place to be a bride and celebrate your day, as photographers it is one of our favorite places to work in NJ!! They are so personable and they make you feel very special, they take care of you, and make sure you have everything you need at all times from a drink to where to be. And the place is beautiful the grounds and inside is like a castle! They truly make you feel special on your wedding day!!

I have been in the service business for over 30 years. By far, Crystal Plaza is the finest facility and staff that I have ever worked with! Their legendary attention to every detail provides their clientele with service that goes beyond excellent! I highly recommend the Crystal Plaza!
