Fiesta I will recommend you to the world. Words cannot describe how grateful I am for coming across such a professional group of people in a beautiful place. As a bride I was concerned with having the perfect wedding. Fiesta did more than perfection. My wedding was absolutely everything I ever dreamed of. Jeff this shout out is for you: I just want to thank you again for all that you did for us; you made my dream come true. You envisioned my vision and realized it. Thank you so much; my wedding was a success. Everyone at Fiesta is super caring, helpful; I felt like such a princess every time I walked through the door.
The food was absolutely amazing! All of my guests were fascinated by it. Our cake provided by Fiesta was absolutely delicious! The bartender and waiters were super friendly and made us and our guests feel great. They were so attentive to all of our needs and always with a smile. Thanks everyone!!
Fiestas décor is beautiful. Our wedding room was Flamenco. The room is perfectly lighted and nicely decorated. My linens looked beautiful on the tables and everything was done with such delicacy.
Our music was great. It was provided by Hector, a DJ recommended by Fiesta. Now a shout out for Hector: te queriamos dar las gracias por tu excellente trabajo en nuestra boda!! De veras que le diste un toque especial!! I loved how you entertained the crowd and your enthusiasm. You definitely made things easier for us and we are extremely grateful. Absolutely loved your professionalism; couldn't have asked for more. Un millon de gracias!!!
Last but not least: FIESTA I LOVE YOU
If I had to choose again I will definitely choose you!

My dad recommended this venue to us...he works with them alot through his own organization. I did not want it to hold my wedding here, but promised to take a look at it before I gave my firm No. From the moment my, then, fiance walked into the door of Casa de Rosa..we were sold! This room is breath taking! On top of having a beautiful room, the attention we recieved from their staff was amazing. From Hector, to Jeff to Heather to every other person we came in contact with, they treated us and our guest with the upmost respect....they became part of the family.

The Fiesta was excellent, and everyone had a great time at our wedding. The ceremony was so beautifully decorated, and the food is excellent. I have been going there for many years for other events, so it was only natural that we book our wedding there. The staff is excellent, and Hector was an awesome Maitre D'. Thanks for a great wedding, we'll never forget it!!

My husband and I had our wedding reception at The Fiesta in December 2011 in the Casa de Rosa room. We worked with Keith, who was a pleasure to work with. He was great with all the little details and our requests to personalize the reception (he even got us our favorite beers and signature drinks added to the menu!), especially as it got closer to the wedding. In him, we felt like we had someone on our side through the planning process. I’ve heard some places become harder to deal with once you’ve signed a contract, but The Fiesta only got more attentive as the date got closer. Keith was even there for the entire reception, and was working as hard as anyone else to make sure the evening went well.
George was our MD and was fantastic. He was kind, confident, extremely calm and always around when we needed him. He seemed to know what I was going to ask before I asked it, and he treated the entire bridal party and our families with the same respect and attentiveness he showed us as the bride and groom – which was very important to us.
Venue - The Fiesta has done a great job in remodeling the Casa de Rosa room. Of the other venues we saw that were of the same style (which I would call modern elegance), The Fiesta was the only venue that didn't treat us as if we owed them something for choosing them. With The Fiesta, you get the benefit of a newly remodeled, modern venue with a 'family feel' without the pretentiousness and 'wedding factory' feel of their competition.
Food – They held a tasting just for us and our mothers and the chef came up with some really unique and creative options for us. They let us tweak the menu because we were looking to reflect our heritage in the menu. Somehow the food the night of the wedding was even better than the tasting. We chose the mango salmon, chicken lombardo and filet mignon, and we heard so many great things from the guests about all the food. During the cocktail hour, we had our own buffet in the bridal suite. When anything ran out, or anyone in our families wanted a drink we barely had to ask. At the end of the night, they packed up our meals since we didn’t have too much time to eat. Our waitress also packed up the third menu option for us (a whole meal) and a whole fruit platter just so we could try it! She was always there when we needed her without being overbearing.
Day of the Wedding – Everyone at The Fiesta was more than accommodating for my family, who did all the decorating and floral arrangements themselves. A few of my cousins gave us a candy bar as their wedding gift to us, which also served as the wedding favors for guests to take home in little bags. My family planned to set everything up in the cocktail room during dinner, but the staff offered to do it for them so they could enjoy the wedding. They put everything together just as my family asked, and even offered to help clean it up afterwards.
Also, the ceremony (at a different location) was delayed an hour and a half due to a family emergency right before the wedding. What sticks out in my mind the most was that my husband and I immediately started worrying about all our vendors and how we would shift the times to possibly extend the evening. The only vendor we didn’t feel anxious about was The Fiesta. They were calm (which helped calm everyone down on our end) and I still cannot thank them enough for pushing back the cocktail hour and easily accommodating our changes. This was truly the best part of our experience…they came through in a situation in which they weren’t obligated to, and didn’t once make us feel indebted to them.
Again, thank you to Keith, George, and everyone at The Fiesta for taking the stress out of our wedding day and replacing it with so many wonderful memories!

I do not know where to start off. The fiesta was absolutely amazing. We were certainly sold on the place itself, it is stunning and gorgeous. All of our family and friends loved the place. The fireplace and chandeliers are fabulous. Fiesta was not an initial option but after seeing the place and meeting all the family members, we felt very comfortable having our wedding here.
Fiesta was extremely accommodating to every request of ours. They really spent the time to try to listen to us and truly understand what it is we really wanted & they delivered exceptionally well. I cannot say enough of of our Maitre D, he did such an amazing job the day of our wedding that somehow 90% of our guests knew who he was. He was there from the beginning to the very last seconds, making sure that everything was ok.
The 1 item that I was slightly concerned with because we did not taste before hand was the food. But the food was absolutely amazing, the cocktail hour was by far the most talked about part of the wedding. Everyone loved the shrimps & hor dourves. The quality of the food was A++. Not only was the food great but all the servers were very attentive and made sure everything was in order and made our guests feel very welcomed. I mean they treated all 200+ guests with very personalized service.
We are extremely excited we chose the Fiesta, they made our day very special. The combination of Food, Service and the Look & feel of the place makes this a no brainer. Jeff we cant thank you enough for making our day very special, you delivered on every request and your ideas and thoughts made our wedding day unforgettable. Every person at Fiesta was very accommodating and treated you as their own family, never throughout the whole process did I have a negative experience.
Thanks again Amnerys & Jairo Espinal

We live in Las Vegas, my husband was raised in Jersey. Its not easy planning a wedding 2000 miles away. But after many phone calls and several emails, our wedding was just perfect. The quality of the food was top notch and we were treated with a great deal of respect and patience. The in house DJ was an amazing host, he made if fun for everyone. Everything went off from start to finish without a hitch. Thank you again to the staff for giving us wonderful memories for a lifetime. HIGHLY recommend Fiesta for any occassion.

Would love to say how amazing everyone at Fiesta was throughout our entire wedding planning process! Dave and Jeff helped my husband and I tremendously in the months leading up to the wedding! We could not have picked a better venue! All our guests complimented us in choosing Fiesta, as they all loved the beautiful space, great food and drinks! Would certainly recommend Fiesta to anyone!

One week ago, we had the most magical day of our lives thanks to the Fiesta. This venue is exceptional in every way. From the first steps of planning to day of the wedding, everything was seemless. My husband and I live in Boston and looked at places in our area as well as in NJ, where I grew up. The Fiesta was heads and shoulders above the rest. The first person we met was Keith Rado, he is the best in the business if you ask me! Keith was extremely welcoming and was very excited to show us the new rennovated ballroom. I will admit, I teared up when I first saw it, the room is absolutely stunning. The cocktail room and bridal suite were still under rennovations, so we looked at the plans and Keith assured us they would be done in time for our big day. He then took us through ALL the menu options and my husband and I knew this was the place for us! We were so impressed with the endless list of choices, we knew were could create a cockatil hour, dinner and vienese hour that would have something for everyone. Througout the year, if I was in NJ I would stop in and take a peak at the rennovations. Each and every member of the staff was more than happy to show me how things were shaping up. They were all genuinely excited and with good reason!!! Everytime, I was more and more impressed and pumped for our wedding. On the big day, which in many aspects is a very hectic day, the Fiesta had everything running smooth. Our Maitre D, George was exceptional and was there whenever we needed him. Keith was there the day of as well, making sure everything was perfect....and it was more than perfect. We have received so many compliments from guests saying how much they enjoyed the night and how incredible the food was. At the end of the evening, to kick off our vienese hour, the staff did a fire show with sparklers creating a banana's foster dessert. This was such a great way to end an amazing night. We are so grateful to the entire staff at the Fiesta for making us feel like family and making our dreams come true. This venue is not one of the best...it's THE BEST there is!

I will always love Fiesta because they made my dream wedding come true. The best man to deal with at Fiesta is Ralph. I never got to go see him after the wedding to thank for everything because my husband is military and we moved that same week. Fiesta will do anything you want and they are there to make your dreams come true. Renovations are amazing!!!
Clueless Bride that is happy her wedding is over.

Fiesta Banquets provided excellent service, a variety of options regarding everything from food, decorations, flowers, cake, music etc...and accomodated all of my crazy last minute requests. The same people that showed me the banquet halls from the beginning stayed with me throughout the signing, the planning, and the actual day of the wedding, so there's no miscommunication of what to expect and what you actually receive. Ask Jeff to be your Maitre D! He was mine on the day of the wedding, and he does an excellent job of keeping you calm when faced with unexpected disasters.

I recently had my reception at the Fiesta. It was all planned in two months and it was all possible due to excellent guidance that Keith and staff provided my family. From the tasting to the last dance I couldn't have imagined anything better then what we had. The food was outstanding and the staff was there for me every step of the way. The fiesta truly made it a night to remember for me as well as all my guests, who in fact constantly keep telling me what a excellent event it was. Thank you Fiesta for everything.
Happy customer

The Fiesta is so experienced in putting on fabulous weddings that they take all of the stress out of planning a wedding. The quality, variety, and quantity of the food is excellent. The professional staff are very attentive to your guests and will anticipate their needs and make sure that they are well taken care of. From the newly renovated ballroom, cocktail room with balcony, to the bridal suite overlooking the cocktail room, the Fiesta creates a very elegant atmosphere.

Fiesta Banquet make my wedding day run very smooth. I don't think I would have had a better day if it wasn't for their help. To start, my husband and I fell in love with Fiesta from the beginning. Jeff was very accommodating and offer us various options that will adhere to our budget. Through out the whole planning they would help us with suggestions. Food is amazing love the menu, my guests are still talking about the pasta plate that it was serve at my wedding. The whole staff was very friendly and was very attentive to our needs and my guest needs. They are very flexible and they did what they could to accommodate me and my needs. The rooms we used was the Caribbean and the Flamenco Room and both rooms are beautiful on it's own that decorating it just make them more beautiful. Pricing was excellent and was very budget friendly. My husband have decided that for now every big event, we will be using their services. Thanks Fiesta for everything!!!

Let's just say this...if I could vote higher...I would. The Fiesta helped me achieve my dream wedding. 3 years ago, I was looking for the perfect venue and the one and only one that I fell in love with was the Fiesta. I wanted something with a wow factor and they had it! In the cocktail room they have an amazing bar, gorgeous floors, high windows that lead to a huge balcony outside, a fireplace...and this is just the cocktail room!!!! The chandeliers in the reception room are breathtaking, the uplighting they have in the room is spectacular, the height of the ceilings are perfect for that "grand" look, and the layout is dramatic! The staff...wow...just perfect! They went above and beyond...every one of them. Keith Rado helped us so much with everything and was open to anything and made what we wanted happen but better! We met him before the renovations happened and he was so excited about it from the beginning. He drew us in with his enthusiasm and he never let us down. The bridal suite they added is gorgeous!!! I visited another venue because it was a tradition type thing in the groom's family...it was the size of a small closet...Fiesta would not stand for that! We had constant waiting service up there and we could watch the guests from a one way window to see how the cocktail hour was going. And again...the service was BEYOND exceptional. Fiesta simply made everyone feel like a million bucks. It seriously looked like platinum weddings and the level of service was platinum. Everyone has been talking about how amazing the food, the venue, and the service was since our wedding last Saturday. There were even other weddings and no one even noticed because of Fiesta's unique layout. George, the matre de, guided us the whole night, smiling. They made the night so easy for us. We had even asked Keith for a dramatic sparkler entrance and he made it happen. Their sparkler show was also amazing and surprised everyone! THE FOOD!!!! There was so much food...and it tasted delicious. Everyone wished they could have stocked up on their food because it was so good...and the quantity and of food and the available selection was out of control! Everyone can't stop talking about it and how well stocked their bar is...top shelf open bar all night! Their dessert table was beyond!!! It was like every awesome dessert place was transported into the Fiesta. The ice sculpture and wedding cake that was provided with our package was also just gorgeous! I can't get over how amazing the wedding and Fiesta was!!! Thank you so much to all of the staff at Fiesta for making our wedding so magical!!! I would recommend you to anyone and everyone!!! You guys rock! <3 Jenn and Joe

Dear Keith,
I wanted to take a moment on behalf of my family and myself, to thank you and the Staff of the Fiesta, for an incredible Wedding Reception on June 18th. As a VP for a health care company, I attend many formal events, including hospital Balls in New York and New Jersey, and I can honestly say that our experience at the Fiesta was superior to any of these venues.
My daughter fell in love with your Grand Ballroom over two years ago, not being aware of your plans for a multi-million dollar addition and renovation. Your service and menu always had a wonderful reputation, for this alone we were sold and booked. I also felt the location was perfect being mid-way from where many of our guests live in Monmouth County, NJ, Northern Westchester County, NY, and Manhattan.
Every guest was impressed not only with the beauty of the Grand Lobby and Grand Ballroom but also with; the impeccable service provided by your Staff and the amount of Staff available at all times; the quality, quantity, display, and preparation of all menu items during the cocktail hour, dinner, and desserts; the top shelf bar and service; our Maitre d’, George, is a true professional and a pleasure. George’s outstanding personality and experience made our event flow with an ease I have not witnessed at most weddings at high end venues.
In addition, working with you on this event was wonderful. Your assistance in every aspect was above and beyond what I have experienced with other venues and large parties. I cannot thank you enough for all your advice and help. Your input and love of what you do, truly made this a dream Wedding for our daughter and son-in-law. This is priceless and so appreciated by all.
All I have spoken to, who were present at the Wedding, will recommend the Fiesta to anyone looking for an event to impress, inspire, and enjoy.
Sincerely,
Sandy Mozdierz

We had our reception at The Fiesta on 7/31/11. We had our Civil Union on June 3, 2011, and were looking for a venue for a large reception. We did quite a bit of checking on line, and found that The Fiesta was highly recommended on Gayweddings.com. With trepidation, we met with Jeff at the Fiesta. His manner and knowledge put us at ease immediately. We did not have to choose our menu until shortly before the event, but he recommended a DJ, a lighting specialist, and a florist. We had already chosen a DJ, and we decided to do the decor ourselves including the flowers. We chose the Caribbean Room, and I had my sister-in-law make the cake. Jeff was very flexible, and gave us many choices for our 4-hour cocktail hour. The price was very reasonable, and Jeff accommodated all of our unique requests including what time we could get into the venue to begin the setup on the day of the event. We created our own "special drink" that was poured into an ice sculpture and was quite a big hit. We heard nothing but raves about all the food and the decor, lighting, and DJ. The food kept all our guests raving about the evening still. We were having so much fun that on-the-fly we decided to add an additional hour, which again Jeff made very reasonable. Throughout the entire event, we felt that the staff at The Fiesta actually cared about us and our enjoyment. The event was stress-free, we had a great time, and we think the value was terrific. We are recommending The Fiesta for all our gay or straight friends who are planning a wedding in the New York area and those aiming for a Civil Union in New Jersey to consider The Fiesta -- gay friendly, understanding, and wonderful throughout the entire process make it a great choice. Please look into The Fiesta for your Wedding or Civil Union! You'll be hard pressed to find better. And it's only 8 miles from NYC, and there's a train station less than a 5 minute walk from the venue. Great location, great staff, great food -- what else could you ask for?
