The Gramercy at Lakeside Manor

I would recommend the Gramercy to any of my friends as we felt it was a lovely wedding. We got so many compliments on everything. There is only one thing that I felt was unfair, was the cost of the head waiter added to the per person amt. Maybe the other place were added in, but the cost was high. She was wonderful and gave attention to everything but for a 4 hour job $300 an hour seems crazy. This was on top of the .20% gratuity added in . Thats why I did not give the value a 5.

The entire staff at The Gramercy at Lakeside Manor was not only professional and accomodating, but they truly treated me, my husband, and all of our family and friends with white glove service and made sure each and every detail was handled with care. The entire venue space, inside and out, was just beautiful!! The food and presentation were great and the bar service was very quick. Everything, from the moment we met with Syed to the end of our party was just perfect and easy-going. Syed and his staff are just amazing!!! We love the Gramercy and would recommend it to everyone!!!

Hello, FIrst I would like to thank Syed and his staff for the AMAZING service they have provided my husband and I since January of 2012, That's when we decided to go with this venue! From the beginning Syed was helpful and on point, throughout the year I called him for anything I needed help with and for advise on what to do and when to do it, He was always there for me!! I would most definatly recommend this venue!! Well Job and thank you for helping make my dream wedding come true!!
Love Sean and Diletta Adlar

From the day we booked our wedding at Lakeside Manor, Syed has been nothing but great to work with! Any questions we had he answered immediately. He was very professional and helpful. The day of our wedding went so smoothly thanks to Syed and the staff at Lakeside! Everyone raved about how delicious the food was and how gorgeous the place is! Couldn't have been more satisfied or happier with our choice!

We had the most Memorable Beautiful time of our lives, we highly recommend Anyone who is looking to have a beautiful event stop shopping around and choose Lakeside Manor as you will have the best party You can ever imagine.

From the moment I walked into their BEAUTIFUL lobby, I knew I had to have our special day there. When we first met w/ Syed, he was nothing but accommodating to me and our family. The planning seemed effortless because they took care of every little detail. Even when we had a problem with the hotel calling us back, Syed was right on top of it, and referred us to another company, which took care of us just as good. The staff couldn't be more helpful, and made sure we didn't want or need for anything. I will always remember Syed and the staff at The Gramercy at Lakeside Manor, for making our day perfect.

Excellent venue and service. Couldn't ask for anything more.

the gramercy at Lakeside manor is a true Jewel at the Shore. The building decor is gorgeous, the staff is attentive, the food is delicious, and Syed Raza made the whole process seamlessly easy. Our guests where so impressed by the whole evening. It was the PERFECT night!!!

Syed was wondeful, as well as his assistant Pauline. Anytime we needed anything it was brought to us before we could even ask for it. Pauline had pulled us aside at cocktail so we could enjoy some of the food, which was great because it was hard to get away from the guests and she brought us a little bit of everything. The place was breathtaking!!!! They did everything I asked for and beyond. My husband and I could not have asked for a better day and they have exceded our expectations. The food was AMAZING! Our guests keep ranting and raving about the portion size as well as the quality and taste. I strongly recommend this place to other brides... Thank you Syed, Pauline and the lakeside manor employees!

Love
Jessica & Darren Rotondella

I cannot express in words how wonderful my wedding was! The staff not only made my husband and I feel like the only ones in the room they made every guest feel like it was their special day too. The food was absolutely delightful and the Venetian table blew everyone away. I will be using this venue for every enjoyable moment my new family will enjoy!

Excellent service .. helped make my wedding amazing

Our wedding was absolutely beautiful. Syed made sure everything was taken care of and done right. The food was delicious and the place looked gorgeous.

Couldn't have asked for anything better 8 months later people are atill talking and I want to relive the day over and over thank you to the entire staff for going above and beyond
Michael and Alyson Ariemma

I can not express what a wonderful wonderful job syed and his crew do. The venue is nothis short of perfect the food 10/10 service amazing presentations i can go on and on they all truly made my day better than i coulda drempt of and hiiiighly recomend them

I would recommend The Gramercy at Lakeside Manor to all who is looking to have a special occasion. Syed and the staff went above and beyond. We had some hurdles to cross but we always came to a solution together. My wedding was beautiful and I married the man of my dreams! Thank you Lakeside for making our big day memorable.

Everything was great from the food to the lighting, I couldn't of asked for a better day. Syed was great and helped us with everything. Best venue by far.

Words can't express how lucky I was to have found this venue for my special day. Odds were against us with planning a party under 100ppl with only 2 months notice, a strict budget, and a firm date. Despite all of that, Syed still worked with us. I feel we got a lot of value for our money from the food to the decor. Our ceremony was very simple yet breath taking. The venue itself is gorgeous. So many of my guests were taken back by the romantic lighting, the chandeliers, the food & it's overall elegant decor. Syed was truly a god send. Syed, Thanks for all your help & creativity. Our event turned out better than We expected...You can't ask for more than that!

The fact that I am taking the time to write this review while on my honeymoon should speak volumes!!!!

What can I say, The Lakeside Manor was more than any girl could ever dream for! I started my search for venues last year prior to the renovations; even then the place was beautiful, but now GORGEOUS! I´m from North Jersey and we have our share of beautiful venues but The Lakeside Manor was the only venue I found that matched my expectations due to the large number of Platinum Wedding reality shows on television...lol. You MUST deal with Syed!! He was the most easy going and understanding person I could ever work with. He makes you feel like the only bride he´s servicing, even months prior to the big day. By the end of the event, I feel we´ve made a friend for life. With my being on a strict budget and having no professional planning background or assistance he was able to make my vision become a reality. I planned for my ceremony to take place outside on the patio but was rained out ;( Syed adjusted without any delay and transformed the ballroom into the most beautiful ceremony....my guest had no idea that wasn´t the original plan. Pauline, who assisted my husband and I was great as well. She handled every small detail, making sure I ate something as well as even bustling my dress! (My bridesmaids were too busy celebrating...lol). The venue is so beautiful on its own, no need to thousands of dollars worth of flowers or extravagant decor...a little goes a looong way here!

If you are a bride, or groom, looking for somewhere memorable, a place where your family and friends will talk about for years to come, a place where you feel proud of the amount you spend on this very important day, leaving with no regrets....Lakeside Manor is the place for you!

Don´t just take my word for it....stop in and see for yourself...YOU WON´T BE SORRY!

Everyone was amazing. Syed as well as the lady that assisted us throughout the evening were awesome. . Joe and I are very happy with the turn out at the Lakeside Manor and will def put the word out. Thank you for making our wedding day amazing in every way possible. We appreciate it!!!

I have to give the Lakeside Manor an overall rating of 5 stars. The whole planning process with Syed went very smoothly. He was there to answer any questions and concerns I had, and promptly replied. Everything that was specified in the contract was given to us and the service was impeccable. The servers, the food, the venue were great! They assigned Paulina to take care of me and my husband and she is fabulous!!! She was so sweet and always kept everyone calm and happy. Because of my brother's delay, I had to wait in the limo for a long time. She came over and said all would be fine, calmed me down and brought over some water. Also, while we were taking pictures during the cocktail hour, food was brought to us outside. My wedding party was impressed with the level of service and so were we. Paulina never left my side during the whole wedding and was a great help when I had 5 mins to bustle my cathedral length train. Couldn't have done it without her. I had a great experience with the Lakeside Manor and would recommend it to others in a heartbeat!

I cannot even begin how to express my gratitude for such superb quality and service that the Gramercy at Lakeside Manor provided for my wedding. They were so accomodating and basically provided me with whatever I asked for. Syed was such a pleasure to work with and his positive attitude just made everything easier. I have never worked with more of a professional than Syed. The venue is beautiful, the food was beyond delicious and I highly, highly recommend this venue for any party needs. Thank you Lakeside and thank you Syed for such a memorable evening.

Before choosing Lakeside Manor, I've been to 12 different venues.I wish i've been to Lakeside Manor first. The ballroom was beautiful. it's even more beautiful with the renovation. my family and guests are still raving bout the venue, the place. I would recommend all the brides to head down to Lakeside Manor beofre wasting time checking other venues.out of 1-10 scale . i gave it 100%. i would like to thank pauline for trying to keep me calm when it starts drizzling.I had the best wedding ever. I would come back again.

I cannot say enough good things about the Gramercy at Lakeside Manor, Syed, and the entire staff. My wedding was nothing short of simply the best time I've ever had! The place looked incredible, the lighting was amazing, and the food was not to be believed. We had a stellar cocktail hour (including most, if not all, stations and additions (well worth the additions, might I add!) Our guests were raving about the place, the food, and just the ambience the entire night. My new husband and I highly recommend this venue for a wedding or any other event. I wish I could do it all over again!

A very very BIG thank you to Syed and the entire staff at the Gramercy at Lakeside Manor for making my day everything that it could possibly be, and more.

If you want a stress free wedding this place is for you!!! Not only is the hall ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS the staff was amazing they went above and beyond !!! Syed is the nicest man always so accomodating easily reachable and Pauline was amazing went out of her way all night to make sure we always had a smile on our face had so many compliments from our 160 guests about food and service everyone rated our wedding 10/10!!! A mistake if you do not use them!!

The Lakeside Manor is by far the best venue that a person can choose to host their wedding. The place is simply beautiful! The staff was beyond courteous, respectful and attentive to the needs of me and my husband. They also did an amazing job in taking care of everyone at my wedding. Not one of my guests had anything negative to say! The event was loved by everyone who attended it. The value that we got was also outstanding and simply put not only was this by far the nicest venue that we came across it was also the most affordable. They do not play games at The Lakeside Manor. They deliver on all of their promises and even provide you with some great surprises along the way. I would highly recommend this venue to anyone who is looking to get married. Lastly, we dealt primarily with Syed Raza. He was simply the nicest and most professional person that we came across throughout this entire process. You are crazy to have a wedding anywhere else!

Lakeside Manor is beautiful! The food is delious. It just seemed so magical! Syed, the manager, is so kind, helpful, caring and accomodating. I had to reschedule my wedding reception three times due to some unforeseen circumstances and they were more than understanding in helping my beautiful day come true! I was happily overwhelmed with all the love I received and for that, I am forever grateful!

Great venue- great staff
General manager syed is famtastic

My husband and I had the absolute best experience at Lakeside Manor. Every single member of the staff made us feel like we were the most important clients ever. Syed Raza is the backbone of this venue. He was extremely professional and you could tell how much he loves his job. He made it his personal mission to ensure that we had the best wedding experience ever. I truly cannot speak highly enough of Syed.
The venue is absolutely breathtaking on the inside and it's beauty is only enhanced by the delicious food and amazing service. No matter what crazy idea I had, they were able to ccomodate it. The best way we can think of repaying them is to continue to book their venue for our events in the future, and that is exactly what we plan on doing.

The venue was beautiful, we loved our wedding and the staff was very accommodating and attentive. My only complaint would be that the salmon chosen during the menu tasting was not the one served during the wedding.

The Lakeside Manor was everything I could have ever wanted for the best day of my life. Saed and the staff are so super nice and helpful. Everything and anything I needed Saed had for me before I could even finish asking for it. The decor was gorgeous, the food was amazing, There is nothing that could have been better. I still have people telling me two months later that it was the best wedding they have ever been to. Don't be Silly and plan your wedding or event any place else. I can't wait to plan my next party there!!

Lakeside Manor's staff was very helpful and professional.

The Lakeside Manor was incredible!!! The food, the service, the staff and the venue were all sooooo perfect! It was such a pleasure working with Syed, he really made the whole process so easy and worry free. I wish I could have my wedding there again and again. Would recommend it to anyone for any type of affair!!!

The location was beautiful. The remodel went amazing and we couldn't be happier. The food from cocktail hour to the dinner was excellent and was delicious not one complaint. The staff was there to help every need.

My wedding was held at the Lakeside Manor located in Hazlet, NJ on May 19, 2012. The Lakeside Manor staff did an amazing job in all areas. They made my wedding day a dream come true. I would 100% recommend the Lakeside Manor again!

We had our wedding at The Lakeside Manor last April 2012 and it was absolutely perfect ! The WHOLE STAFF were wonderful! The food was unbelievable, lots of variety , a cocktail Hour that my guests still talk about, it was amazing, and the room was so well decorated, the service was extraordinary . The main salon was also stunning! Every little detail, was perfect, Syed made sure not only our expectations were met but he went above and beyond!! With many surprises we did not even expected! He really worked with us from the very first time we met until the end of our big night.
We also would like to thank the executive Chef Guss, who put this whole menu and cocktail Hour choices together, we were so pleased and grateful for everything he did for us ! We not only had sooo much food but it was so well presented , every single dish was cooked to perfection !
The place was already pretty when we met back in June 2011 to discuss dates, but now with the renovations made early this year, the place looks breathtaking; the lobby, the rugs, the chandeliers, the restrooms, the cocktail hour salon, the lighting, the bars , the decoration, the lounge area, everything is so classy, cozy, elegant, The pictures came out beautiful . It really looked like a million bucks wedding and pricewise was the best around for the quality and quantity of the food and service you get .
There are not enough words to Thank you guys for making our wedding, one of the best and most precious day of our lives!
I would definitely recommend this place, you won’t regret .
Fiorella & Tommy Kousouris

I am so thankful we booked The Lakeside Manor now The Gramercy at The Lakeside Manor for our wedding on March 25, 2012. We were already blown away by the facility when we first saw it over a year ago. But then they renovated and our jaws dropped! What a spectacular and unique place! George was very accommodating and worked with our very tight budget and was always professional and reachable. The venue is incredible with a brand new marble dancefloor which was big enough even for our big Italian family! Everyone is still raving about the venue and the FOOD! We had such large quantities of amazing incredible food. So much that there were some leftovers and George even kindly let us take some home! We had delicious dinners for almost a week after that! The servers are outstanding!! Paulina in particular went above and beyond to keep me happy from helping me with my bustle to bringing me my makeup bag from the bridal suite to the sweetheart table. She was always attentive and always asking me if I needed anything. Wonderful service, delicious food and amazing venue! You can't go wrong here. Please book; you won't be disappointed!

THIS VENUE WAS A HUGE HIT FOR OUR WEDDING!!! EVERYONE ASKED US HOW DID WE FIND SUCH AN ELEGANT PLACE.. I MEAN SERIOUSLY WHEN WE FIRST BOOKED THEY WERE UNDERGOING CONSTRUCTION AND IT WAS STILL BEAUTIFUL BUT WHEN IT WAS DONE WOW!!! IT IS SOOO GORGEOUS!!!

THANK YOU TO THE STAFF OF LAKESIDE MANOR YOU MADE MY SPECIAL DAY EVEN BETTER!!!!

Syed and the entire staff at the Lakeside are AMAZING. From start to finish Syed was always there for my questions and last minute changes. He made wedding plans a breeze! Also, Paulina, the bridal attendant was so sweet. Anytime I turned around or needed something she was there. Everyone raved and continues to rave about our wedding. The food, service, decor, bar staff was outstanding. Our wedding day was more amazing than we ever imagined and all the credit is to the Lakeside Manor.

Syed answered all of our questions in a professional timely manner. He gave his imput and recommendations when needed, he was extremely helpful.
Overall I would definately recommend The Lakeside Manor!

Our wedding on October 29, 2011 was absolutely perfect thanks to the staff at The Lakeside Manor. Syed was a tremendous help during my entire wedding planning process. He paid attention to every detail and when our day came, we were thrilled with how everything turned out. The ballroom is amazing and so spacious. Our guests raved about the food all night. The staff was great, especially Pauline. Anything we wanted, we got right away. Syed treated us like royalty on our wedding night and we were able to enjoy everything. Our family and friends are calling our wedding "Wedding of the Year." I would highly recommend The Lakeside Manor to anyone planning a big event. You will not be disappointed! --Christina & Frank

I have made 3 affairs within a four year span have have used lakeside for each. Lakeside delivered fully on their promises and in fact, even more. The room was beautiful and Syed was extremely professional and always accessible. We were extremely satisfied with all aspects of our party.

My wife and I had our wedding reception at the Lakeside Manor in Hazlet, NJ on Saturday October 15th, 2011. I rarely write reviews, only when I experience a service or product that goes way beyond expectations.

The wedding planning process is a daunting one to say the least, especially for the future wives. I have to admit, I had a very small roll in it! Even so, I did see everything that went on and interacted with several vendors for our special day. The Lakeside Manor went above and beyond throughout the entire process, beginning to end. The maitre d', Mr. Raza did an impeccable job with our wedding. We left our reception with the thought 'that was perfect, and could not have been better'. Our guests alike were constantly praising everything about the night, the food, the environment, the staff, everything. I can't count the amount of times we heard 'This is the best wedding I've ever been to'. To hear that from some of our most critical, fault finding relatives was amazing!

The Lakeside Manor is the real deal, world class professional service. I would recommend it to anyone planning a wedding or event. Mr. Raza did so much for us, he handled situations that were not his problem AT ALL, but handled them anyway because he truly cares about his clients. He also managed to keep my wife calm through all of the potential 'bridezilla' outbursts that just happen as part of the wedding planning process.

We are looking forward to returning to the Lakeside Manor for future events, several friends that attended the wedding are now considering the Lakeside Manor as well. Being in our late 20's, many of our friends are getting married. We have been to and been IN, several weddings in the past few months. What you get for your money here is jaw dropping compared to other venues we have been to and looked at. If you want great food, atmosphere and world class service for your wedding or party, you cannot go wrong here.

Your first vegan wedding and it was perfect! The food was fantastic and all of the non-vegan guests were quite complimentary. The outdoor ceremony was just beautiful (everything you promised).
Thanks for making my daughters wedding everything she hoped it would be and more!
Sincerely, Lynda Rozzi (mother of the bride)

Wow! Wow! Wow! What can I say that my guests haven't? Two months after my wedding, my guests still RAVE about how beautiful the venue was, how AMAZING the food was, how wonderful the staff was...I could go on for years.

Everyone at the Lakeside Manor strives to make your day so SPECIAL and they went above and beyond for us! They exceeded every expectation we had! They made me feel like a princess from day one!

Syed - Thank you for being there for us all hours of the day! Thank you for understanding and envisioning all of my visions and ideas. Thank you for making my wedding planning experience STRESS FREE!!! Thank you for promising us the "PERFECT WEDDING" and GIVING us the most AMAZING DAY OF OUR LIVES! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

The Lakeside Manor is hands down the #1 venue in New Jersey. I have attended numerous weddings in the past 4 years and not one venue compares. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND the Lakeside Manor for any parties, weddings, etc.

We were EXTREMELY pleased with the attention to detail, the cooperation, the friendliness and professionalism of the management and staff of ALL aspects of our function. EVERYTHING was done as promised and without delay. The atmosphere provided, the food, drink and entire atmosphere provided for our function was second to none. I DONT KNOW WHY ANYONE WOULD HAVE THEIR WEDDING OR ANY OTHER FUNCTION AT ANY OTHER FACILITY IN THE CENTRAL NJ AREA. I cannot say enough good things about The Lakeside Manor. Aces and gold stars all the way.
Tom Krieger

Lakeside Manor was a great pick our for wedding ceremony and reception!! Syed and the whole staff was awesome! They went above and beyond for us and our guests! The food was great and the venue was beautiful! I have guests telling me two weeks after my wedding, that this was best wedding they ever went to! That is the best compliment you can possibly get! Thank you, Syed for giving us the best day ever for our wedding!

My story is not usual, but it has a happy ending! When I was looking for a catering hall for my summer wedding the Lakeside Manor was already booked. So we booked my wedding at the Excelsior in Manalapan. Six weeks before my wedding, my parents got a call that the Excelsior was being closed in 2 wks. Talk about a nightmare.....but thanks to Syed and his staff I had my dream wedding. By fate, there was a cancellation same day and time at the Lakeside Manor b/c a bride had to postpone her wedding. IT WAS PURE FATE! When I met Syed he made us feel very welcome. He promised me I'd have a wonderful wedding and not to worry. The Manor is gorgeous- the ballroom was really breathtaking. The drapery on the ceiling is so elegant and with the special lighting looks even more amazing. Syed was very nice and easygoing to work with. I dont have one complaint. My ceremony was held inside and it was perfect. We used the wall dividers to hide the otherside and my florist added tulle to make it look pretty. It really came out great! All my guests have been complimenting the food and atmosphere. I hear the cocktail hour food was the best. As the bride, I didn't eat much that night. I was having a wonderful time and scared to stain my ballgown. LOL! The champagne toast was very cool with the sparklers. Our name in lights on the floor and the red lighting we used made it extra special. The dance floor was comfortable with our party of 200 guests. Our dramatic entrance from the staircase was incredible. It had a romantic look with the lights and tulle. My bridal suite was huge. Best suite I've ever seen. Syed is very professional and was visible throughout my wedding making sure there were no problems. His staff was also exceptional. The Vienese table is always a highlight with the chocolate fountain and assortment of goodies. I recommend this place to any bride looking for a romantic and elegant wedding. The outdoors is nice with the gazebo, I just didn't want to be outside in August in my ballgown with the heat. The Lakeside Manor has 1 wedding at a time...so there's no running into other brides or parties. Lakeside Manor is exceptional- check it out. :-)

We have nothing but the best things to say about Lakeside Manor. Our original venue went out of business with just 8 weeks to go. Lakeside Manor was high on our original list but the date we wanted was booked. Fortunately for us...Lakeside Manor became available on our date and the decision to relocate there was an easy one. Even though the invites were already out...we figured it all out and we couldn't be happier. What could have been a disaster was made easy and stress free by Syed. He kept every promise he made to us and more. The food was spectacular. The service was great and we even got to enjoy our own event becuase Syed took care of everything. It was a perfect, perfect evening and the four parents were able to give our children their "Dream Wedding". Thank You for everything Syed!!!

It was amazing... Great Time...We just dont know how to Thank You...

Very attentive and professional staff ! Everything went so smooth from the day we booked - ballroom and facilities were absolutely stunning - still getting compliments . Inside and outside of venue look FABULOUS in photos ( lighting decor etc. ) Nothing was ever difficult , never ran into any issues , never had to worry. On my wedding day when I showed up not only was everything done right and perfect but everything exceeded my expectations!

The food was awesome and the Lakeside did a beautiful job. Syed made sure everything was to our liking and that all our questions, no matter how small or sounding stupid, were answered. He always made time for us and made my family feel valued. This was most appreciated when the stress started to creep in the week before our affair. Our daughter's Bat Mitzvah was a complete success and we just booked the Lakeside again for our son's Bar Mitzvah in June 2013. I couldn't imagine working with anyone else after our experience at the Lakeside.

We had our daughter's Sweet 16 at Lakeside Manor. It was fantastic. Everything was great from the planning to the service and the food was extraordinary! We highly recommend for any big occasion.
-Angela & Zino

Syed treated us like we were part of his family. Everyone wants the best for their family, and that is 100% what we got. From the day we booked the wedding and still to this day, Syed goes out of his way to make the day special. The wedding couldn't have gone any better, as Syed assured us from day one that he would take care of everything and all we had to do was show up and have a good time. When I say that he delivered on his every promise, from the food tasting to the fact that he himself was there the day of our wedding to oversee every little detail. The venue was beautiful, the food was absolutely deliscious and Syed promised us nothing short of perfection, and he certainly delivered, exceeding our expectations and making our wedding day perfect, and one that every guest will remember for a long time to come. Thank you Syed, for treating us like a member of your family, you certainly made the day magical.

The lakeside did such an amazing job on our wedding. The food was excellent and the room looked absolutely gorgeous. The waiters were great also they were always there for anything we needed. I would recommend this place to anyone. We had such a great time!!!

The Lakeside Manor provided us with exceptional service and professionalism. They worked with us in every aspect and we couldn't have been happier with our choice of venue. The Lakeside Manor was the most elegant venue to say the least! We would recommend the Lakeside Manor to any couples newly engaged! Thanks for going above and beyond on our special day!

Stephanie and Brett Paulus

dear Syed and Staff: Thank you for the wonderful work done in our marriage my husband and I were very happy with the work done by you and your team, everything was perfectly fine the care of the bride before during and after marriage, the care dedicated to guests and the groom, the delicious food. people have commented that after marriage a long time did not see a wedding so perfect and wonderful food. I would like to marry again lol, but with the same husband

We recently had our wedding at Lakeside Manor November 20, 2010. Lakeside Manor was more beautiful than we ever could have imagined. We knew that it was a beautiful place, but when we walked in on our wedding day, Lakeside Manor was absolutely gorgeous! Every single detail was perfect. We had our pictures taken here and the lake in the back made for a magnificent background. Our ceremony was inside Lakeside Manor. Syed and the staff did a great job with the set up for the 250 people that attended our wedding. The up lighting added to the elegance. The cocktail hour was incredible. The assortment of food and the presentation was remarkable and to die for. We really cannot express how perfect our wedding was at Lakeside. The maître de catered to us from start to finish. She ensured that we had food and drinks at all times. Syed and the Lakeside staff are wonderful people to work with. Syed was very helpful throughout my entire wedding planning! He was there from start to finish overseeing every detail to ensure that my wedding was flawless. We really cannot say enough great things about him. From the second that my wedding party arrived, Syed was right there greeting us and helping with anything we needed. The maître de and all the wait staff were very attentive. I can honestly say that while we were on our honeymoon EVERYONE called my parents and left messages stating it was the most beautiful wedding they ever attended and there would never be another one to compare to it. They were raving about the cocktail hour. People could not believe the assortment of food and how delicious it was. Lakeside delivered on everything that Syed promised to us. They even had a surprise for us, which is a tradition, that I will not ruin by telling what it was for future weddings there. We knew it was going to be the best day of our lives … but it by far exceeded our expectations!!!
Thank you,
Lori & Todd Lesser

Attention was made to every little detail. The staff was friendly and responsive. The venue was vibrant and cleanly with beautiful decor. Management was there to guide us throughout the planning stages and went out of their way to ensure our guests had an enjoyable evening. We would highly recommend the Lakeside Manor.

We can not even say how blown away we were by The Lakeside Manor. Our wedding reception was everything we dreamed of and more. The event was absolutely flawless, and the staff was great. Anything we asked of/for was accommodated, from the cake, to food, ect.... The Lakeside Manor is perfect venue, we highly recommend The Lakeside Manor.

the lakeside was setup perfectly by syed . it was everything we expected and more . would highly reccommend to anyone... Thank you lakeside

I just had the best sweet 16 party ever. Syed and the staff at lakeside manor were most professional, most helpful, most knowledgable, and most fun personal I had ever worked with. Thank you for everything,
Charina

The Lakeside Manor was absolutely wonderful!!! We had a very strict budget and Syed helped keep us within it. The reception was beautiful, the food was absolutely delicious, the cake was EXCELLENT, I couldn't have picked a better place. Thank you for everything!!!!!!

We are so happy that we had our wedding reception at The Lakeside Manor. Working with Syed was an absolute pleasure. Any questions or concerns that my wife and I had, were addressed promptly and without error. He is truly a huge asset to the Lakeside Manor.

We got married just over a month ago, and the amount of compliments that we have received have been amazing. Most of the positive feedback was complimenting the look of the room, and the food. It really is a nice feeling to know that our guests enjoyed the wedding as much as we did.

If you are getting married, and are looking to book a hall, visit the Lakeside Manor team, you will be happy you did.

-Frank and Nicole

The Lakeside manor was everything I ever wanted in a reception hall. The room was so beautiful and everyone complimented how amazing it looked. I must say though that Syed made it all happen. He was amazing to work with and I am so grateful for all his help. He always gave us his time and always made sure we were happy with everything. I really enjoyed him and I recommend him to everyone. The Lakeside manor is 100% the way to go.

The Lakeside Manor is a beautiful venue. I highly recommend it, not only for weddings, but for any events! After seeing about 4 to 5 reception venues, the Lakeside Manor is the only one that had everything I wanted: a big cocktail area that can accommodate our guests comfortably; an outside garden that the guests can freely go to; a spacious bridal suite; an elegant main reception hall with a staircase that the bride and groom can come down to as introduced; and most especially, it's affordable price. The Lakeside Manor truly has it all.

They definitely turned our wedding into a magical event -- from the warm and elegant ambiance, to the sparkling toast, the delicious food and desserts, and its courteous staff. Our family can't stop talking about how good the food was -- from the variety and abundance of food during cocktail, the delicious and big portions of main course, and the beautifully set up viennese desserts, with a chocolate fondue fountain!!!

But the main thing here is how affordable they are. For the price we paid, they did everything so well that our wedding reception could have been in an episode of "Platinum Wedding."

So thanks again to the staff of Lakeside Manor!

Thank you for making our wedding day such a success - guests can't seem to compliment the reception enough. The cocktail leftovers helped at the family bbq the day after and thank you for storing it that night since we didn't have the space. We wish we had the money to make the night last longer!

Love,
Tara & Jose

The Lakeside Manor did a fabulous job for our wedding! The service provided was extrordinary and they took the time to make sure that our wedding went as perfect as can be! They did everything that was asked and even went above and beyond to make our wedding special! We would highly recommend the Lakeside Manor to everyone!

The Lakeside Manor gave me the most beautiful wedding I could ask for. Syed was wonderful. He was very professional and on top of everything. Never a problem with anything I asked for! The service was top notch the night of the wedding. Everything flowed wonderfully because everyone was so attentive to my husband and I, and to all the of guests as well. Everything we asked for was brought to us with a smile, in fact, I hardly had to ask for anything! Everything I wanted or needed done was done already for me. The Lakeside Manor was not only gorgeous, but I was actually told by a huge portion of the guests that the wedding was "gorgeous and the best food they had ever had at a wedding"..they were so impressed with the raw seafood bar and the huge assortment of delicious hors devours! People had acually told me it was the best wedding they had ever went to. I couldn't say enough good things about the Lakeside Manor. I wish I could have another wedding there : )

Even though I had a pretty clear vision, the staff were very accomodating and gave great advice. The place looked beautiful and I still get rave reviews about the food. The Sparkler Champagne presentation was a hit! Also, the wait staff really made us feel comfortable and special on our day!

The Lakeside Manor is absolutely amazing! The food was great, the main room was absolutely gorgeous! Syed was amazing to work with, he helped us with anything we needed. I received so many compliments about everything from the food to the look on the room. I would recommend this hall to anyone!

Syed and the staff at the Lakeside Manor truly provide a five star service. Their food is fantastic and they were very attentive to our needs. When looking for vendors, its always important to remember that you get what you pay for. Syed provided tremendous value and helped us to make our wedding night a memorable and wonderful experience. Highly recommend.

The entire staff at the Lakeside is wonderful! Very flexable, and helpful. Syed, George and Sophia are the most kind and helpful people I have ever worked with. I recommend having any affair at Lakeside manor!!

I has used Lakeside Manor as a venue for my daughters christening. They did an amazing job. Everything was perfect! The food was good and the venue was beautiful. It was very easy to work with the people there. They were very responsive and very professional. The value of cost was excellent!

We fell in love with our wedding venue- The Lakeside Manor in Hazlet... The main hall is decorated with goregous chandeliers, large ceilings! It has character and ambience (not like most halls you see today w/ just high bland ceilings and walls). More beautiful than I could have imagined! The food as always is amazing. Our banquet director Sayed is personable yet professional, and is a great person to work with and stands by what he says.... People are still giving us compliments on how the room inside looked as well as how great the food was! -Lauren and Mike R.

The staff at Lakeside Manor was very accomodating and was able to fulfill our overall wedding vision. The place itself is so beautiful. The first time I walked into the foyer area, I was blown away and just knew that this was the perfect place to have our wedding. The reception room is so elegant and I loved the different lighting options- it looked amazing. They offer a huge amount of food for the cocktail hour and we got so many compliments on the delicious food. It was really such a dream come true and I wouldn't have changed a thing. Lakeside Manor provided exceptional service and were so easy to work with. I really worked hard to make the day a personal reflection of the two of us and everything was executed perfectly to make that happen. I was so happy with our choice and I'm so grateful that we had our perfect day.

Enjoyed having our wedding at the Lakeside Manor. On your day they take care of everything. I didn't stress at all. They even supply you with someone to cater to your every need on the day of. It was awesome. If I could do it again, I wouldn't change a thing! We got married June 13, 2009 and people still talk about how great the food was, and the cake was just right.

It was a pleasure working with Syed and staff at the Lakeside Manor. Our wedding was beautiful and we could have not done it without them and their recommendations.

I would absolutely recommend The Lakside to everyone. The place was beautiful, staff was friendly and the food was great.

The quality of service was excellent. They worked with you on every detail from the room setup, the food, the wedding cake. The responsiveness and profesionalism was excellent. They were so accomadating. They helped you with everything that you needed. The value was great. It was well in our budget, yet it looked like we spent so much more. I would recommend lakeside manor to all future brides.

The Lakeside Manor was a beautiful reception site for our wedding!! All staff there was so polite and friendly to us and our guests. We could not have asked for a more special day!!

LOVED THIS PLACE!!!!! The room looked magnificent! More beautiful than I could have imagined! The food was absolutely delicious!!! Sayed was WONDERFUL to work with! We got so many compliments on how the room inside looked as well as how great the food was!

Months have gone by and we are STILL getting compliments about the food, service, and the venue. If we had to do it all over again, we would choose Lakeside Manor all over again.

Lakeside Manor truly made this one of the best days of my life! Syed was amazing and made everything I wanted happen. The food was excellent and the place is beautiful. The bridal suite is unlike any other. Everyone raved about what a wonderful time they had!

We were very happy with the services provided at the Lakeside Manor. Our wedding was absolutely beautiful and more than we could have ever imagined. Syed and his team really took the time to meet our needs. The day was enjoyable and pleasant.

My husband and I could'nt have been more pleased!! Lakeside Manor was the perfect venue for our wedding. Especially since we had our MC show up but his equitment did not! Syed let us know there was a problem but not to worry they were handeling it, which they did within a half hour (during this time they extended our cocktail hour our guests never even realized) they had a dj come and do our wedding who did a fantastic job concidering the circumstances and we never heard anthor word about it i have since referred three people who had the venue here and were also very pleased and anthor friend having her wedding in nov 2010 who has so far been very pleased!!!!!! Our day could have been a nightmare we felt if it wasnt for Syed .... Thank You Again Shanah and Steven Bertone

After utilizing the Lakeside Manor for my wedding, I would recommend it to everyone I know for there special events. They have a professional staff and the food is amazing. They made the day worry free and relaxing, and accommodated special needs for my family and friends. My wife and I were treated wonderfully.

Our wedding was beautiful and Lakeside made our planning and the day much easier to enjoy. Just spend more time selecting your cake (tasted good but not like the picture.) Syed was exceptional to work with!

I could not more highly recommend a reception hall. The facilities are beautiful, the food is fabulous, and the price is unbeatable. Positive reviews all around. Wonderful feedback from my guests as well. Very professional.

The Lakeside Manor made my wedding day unforgettable! Syed was amazing and worked with us every step of the way to make sure everything was perfect. The price was very reasonable, the food was great and the venue looked absolutely beautiful. I was so happy with my wedding that I am having my baby shower at the Lakeside Manor too!

This place is amazing. My mother had gotten married at the Lakeside Manor almost 20 years ago and I was always in love with the place.

Their staff is beyond amazing with their accomodations and their professionalism. Every person in that entire place will do anything you need at any given moment.

The decor was just amazing, they have done a ton of renovations in there in the last 5 years and it is just so beautiful.

Every one of my guests raved about the cocktail hour. The food was overflowing on platters and just great.

We had choosen to add the dessert hour, with 2 chocolate fountains ( i only like white chocolate and my husband likes dark ) so he gave us both, we had any dessert you would imagine as well as an expresso bar that people were blown away by.
I highly recommend this place if you dont want to worry about a thing.

I was not feeling well during the reception and their staff did everything they could to help me even offering to cook me something off the menu to help my stomach !

Amazing place!!!

The food was excellant....all of our guests enjoyed everything.

I was just not happy that we had 10 people not show up and we still had to pay for it. There should be more flexibility when it comes to that for any couple.

The wedding cake was delicious, I would love to know the name of the bakery so I can use them again

The entire staff at The Lakeside Manor were such a big help and it really made MY special day the best day ever, because they took care of everything so I didnt have to worry about it. I would absolutely recommend them without a doubt!

What a great place to work for sure. The New re-designed Lakeside manor is really the place to have your next reception. From the decor to the food..... Nothing but the best. Be sure to visit our friend Siad and tell him we said hello.
