My husband and I are so happy we chose The Manor. We like old charm and the The Manor definitely had that. Preston was very easy to talk to. They are all very accomodating! My guests cannot stop complimenting us about how good the food was and the abundance of it! In addition, The Manor will not break the bank! Very affordable! You cannot go wrong!

The Manor delivers world class service and did not fall short at our wedding. Everyone loved the food, and the place is paramount with its gardens and overall ambience. Jorge Duarte was our Maitre'D and delivered a personal touch to the event that I appreciated. We are happy with our overall experience and would recommend The Manor to anyone.

Just got home from my honeymoon today and wanted to make sure to come on this website to give The Manor a well deserving review! They were exceptional! Everything was so beautiful and stunning, it really exceeding all of my expectations! George was our Maitre D', he was awesome, helped us with the rehearsal and made the whole wedding day a success, thank you!

We truly had a beautiful wedding reception at The Manor. We couldn't have asked for a better place to get married. The ceremony site is gorgeous and romantic. The customer service was impeccable and we felt like they made our day run smoothly. The bride and groom are often so busy during the reception that they do not get a chance to eat and spend quality time together. Not us, the staff made sure we had special private moments, and that we sat down and enjoyed our main course. Our guests raved about the quantity and quality of the food. We had no complaints at all!

The Manor went above and beyond in every possible both through the entire planning process and the day the day of our wedding. The Maitre’D George was very helpful and knowledgeable without being intrusive. All of the food was outstanding and our guests could not stop talking about how amazing all of it was, with people posting pictures of the food describing it as unbelievable. The place was gorgeous and immaculate, and everything went perfectly on time to the minute. They upgraded our cake and made it using fondant instead of buttercream as a surprise to us, and it looked better than any picture I provided (and tasted even better!!!! Many guests commented on how delicious it was, and I am a wedding cake criticizer lol, and though it was moist and delicious myself!). Throughout the entire process Preston was also so friendly, accommodating and patient. He threw in tons of stuff both before we signed, and even after. We really could not have had a better experience.

The Manor is absolutely beautiful. Our guests raved about the amazing food and attentiveness of the dining staff. We wouldn't change a thing about our wedding weekend. Despite the rain and not being able to have our cocktail hour outside, the Manor (Virginia Room) was the perfect venue.

There is nothing I can say about The Manor that will convey just how incredible everyone we dealt with there was and how amazing they made our wedding day! Our guests haven’t stopped telling us how beautiful our room was, how amazing and extensive the cocktail hour was (both the food and the drinks), and how delicious everything was during dinner! We mainly worked with Rolf (who is the complete opposite of so many of the used car salesman-like banquet coordinators we met with at other venues) and we also worked with Preston a couple times. Both of them are incredibly nice, very honest, have a great sense of humor, and are just really easy to work with in general. They were willing and able to accommodate every single request we made from incorporating Greek and Spanish foods into the cocktail hour to replacing some foods on the menu with others to rearranging the typical setup in the reception room to having certain drinks available for our guests. What I think sets The Manor apart from so many other venues is that not only did they make those promises to us, but they kept them and then executed them PERFECTLY! The special food requests we made could have easily gone terribly wrong, but because The Manor is a restaurant with reputable chefs all of those special requests were beyond delicious, as was the rest of the food throughout the cocktail hour, dinner, and Viennese hour. On top of that, every single member of the staff from the bridal room attendant (I hate myself for not remembering her name) to the Maitre d’ (Ivan) to the bar staff to the servers was incredible and I can’t say enough about how nice, accommodating, and professional they all were from the time my husband and I first entered our room before guests had even started arriving at our ceremony to the moment we all left. I never once had to ask for anything (something to drink, something to eat, someone to fix my bustle, etc.) because someone always was one step ahead of me – though not in an obnoxious way by any means… they just know what has to get done and they know what they’re doing so it was like second nature to them. Also, all of the people who were helping out during the cocktail hour and reception always had a smile on their face and were nice as can be to our guests. I’ve been to weddings where the bartenders and servers either look miserable or just super serious, but a wedding is a happy occasion and there’s a way to be highly professional while still looking pleasant – the staff at our wedding all did just that and they really seemed to be enjoying themselves… so it really felt like everyone from us to our families and friends to the staff had a good time at our wedding! Another thing to add is that everything on our wedding day was set up exactly as we had envisioned and described it to them… we don’t have a single complaint from the food to the drinks to the service to the ambiance. And, to top it all off, anything they had to pack up for us at the end of the night to be picked up was packaged and wrapped up very carefully, which was nice. The Manor is, without a doubt, an amazing place to get married and have a reception and my husband and I have nothing but positive things to say about the venue itself, the way it’s run, and the staff… it’s a prime venue for an amazing price!

We absolutely, positively recommend The Manor for hosting your most precious day. Our day was absolutely perfect and to add on the wonderful service, food, and grounds was just fantastic. We would like to say thank you to Roman and his great staff for responding to our every need and making sure everything ran smooth. Our guest really enjoyed themselves and we couldn't be more pleased. The Ceremony took place outside in the beautiful garden and we hosted our reception in the Imperial Room, which is such a gorgeous room. I hope your day is as wonderful as our was.

The Manor provided us with everything we needed to make our wedding day perfect. The food was amazing. The service was so professional. Their attention to detail was extraordinary. I recommend upgrading to the filet. We had some guests remark that it was some of the best steak they ever had. I also recommend the viennese table for an amazing selection of cakes, pastries, chocolates and cookies. We had our ceremony outside in their beautiful garden on a perfect day. The flowers provided a perfect background to the event. I would recommend The Manor to anyone having a wedding!

We just got married a few short weeks ago and I must say, one of the hardest things that we had to do initially during the wedding planning process was pick the venue. The Manor was the third place we saw and we liked it right away. There is something to be said for people who just have it down. There is a certain confidence that goes along with the presentation. We had some unique requests for our wedding. We had a Russian Jewish wedding that required flexibility and cultural accommodations that were very pleasantly respected and fulfilled. We worked with Preston, who is the manager of the team, who really was a great help. I can honestly admit that I was a bit OCD about things that needed to be done and he was very professional and reassuring about it all the way through. I highly recommend working with him. The day it self was seamless, it is really great to say that I relinquished control and had a blast!!! If I can give one suggestion to the manor it would be in the food category. You get to try the food at the restaurant as your food tasting. This is different then the food at your reception. Due to logistics the Manor does not do Reception Menu food tasting. I wish that was different, then I would not have picked the fish that I picked (Miso striped bass) but hey everything else was delicious! Thank you Manor team for an incredible day. We will always hold you close in our hearts for the best party we ever through!

When I started looking at venues I went to many different style places and could not find anything that really caught my eye. My dad told me to go back to The Manor where my sister had gotten married a few years ago. We went back and everything The Manor was giving us was to good to pass up. We dealt with Roman from the very beginning. Dealing with Roman was an absolute pleasure. Everytime we met he greeted us with a smile and we left there more and more pleased with his service. He was so accomodating and gave us everything we wanted and more! He knew my favorites from the buffet and he made sure they were in my bridal suite. The day of the wedding he greeted us at the door as our limo pulled up and made sure my family and I had everything we needed! I am so happy we had our wedding at The Manor. Our guests have complimented on how amazing the food was!I emailed Roman a picture of the cake I wanted and he ensured us that it was possible. All of the items I had brought to be put out were nicely put out. Everything was so well presented and was everything I had dreamed of. I would like to thank The Manor and Roman for an amazing wedding!My husband and I are so pleased with the services we were given and give them the highest reccomendation. Thank You Roman & The Manor!

The Manor is absolutely a beautiful place for a wedding. There are so many areas on the grounds to take pictures it would take you hours to get to them all. The staff was very professional and courteous. Our Maitre D' made our experience there as worry free as possibly, allowing us to enjoy the night. The food was fantastic and tasted amazing. We are so happy we chose The Manor for our reception and highly recommend it.

The Manor is a beautiful reception place for a wedding. The food was excellent and the staff was very nice and friendly. They were accomodating to the tables and food we selected and substituted food for other foods we wanted. They are great to work with and want your day to be perfect. So happy we had our reception there!

Rolf and his team at The Manor were a complete joy to work with. The food was amazing- we've gotten so many compliments. Their grounds are beautiful. We were suppose to get married in their gorgeous garden, but unfortunately it rained :( They were very accommodating and all of our guests had a great time!

Our ceremony and reception both took place at the Manor. It is a beautiful venue. It was the first venue we visited in the Northern New Jersey area out of five and as we visited the other places, no venue came close to the beauty and elegance of the Manor. The staff is so professional and provides exceptional service. If the weather permits, the outside grounds are so beautiful, that it creates such a great ambience for an outdoor ceremony. Unfortunately it rained during our ceremony, so it had to be moved inside, which we were informed of at our first meeting if it did rain. The staff was so quick in moving the ceremony inside. As for the reception. the rooms are beautiful and the food is so great!!! Heard nothing but good comments about everything. Preston was our banquet manager and he is so great and helpful, also very pleasant to work with. Marawan (Marvin) and Isabella were our maiter d's and they were also so great in taking care of us the whole night making sure everthing went smoothly. Great venue!

The Manor in West Orange was the perfect place for my wedding! Everyone at The Manor was so helpful and my husband and I could not have asked for a better day! The entire wedding day went so smoothly, there was always someone there to help when we needed something, and our guest had a blast : ) I HIGHLY recommend checking it out.
