My daughter's room is very shabby chic/farmhouse with roses, low and behold, when we arrived at the studio-it was so exciting to see the florals set up for our photoshoot. The endless props and creative backdrops cannot be found ANYWHERE else! It was EVEN MORE exciting to see how well the whole team took such good care of my 21 month old energetic son-who was not so excited to sit and take photos. However, Cassie, Renee, and Tara did it! They got him to sit still and we got the most precious and monumental photos of my children. Thank you girls, for everything! I am so grateful I have these photos to last forever!

Aside from deciding to marry each other, getting married at Edgewood Country Club was the best…read moredecision we ever made. From the first time we toured the venue to every decision in between, Taylor and the rest of the team at Edgewood catered to every single one of our requests leading up to our wedding. Taylor made the entire planning process feel effortless. From the second we arrived onsite for our first tour of the venue, Taylor made us feel welcomed. She was patient, answered all our questions and explained everything so well. After that, making the decision to pick Edgewood for our venue and have Taylor be our wedding coordinator was an absolute no brainer. Taylor conducted herself with the utmost professionalism throughout the entire wedding planning process. She was extremely responsive with emails, kept detailed notes from our meetings, and really helped paint the perfect vision for our perfect day. We had a few customization requests (i.e., meals for picky eaters, gifts for guests, etc.) and she made sure that all of them were fulfilled. Even with the last-minute changes, she handled them with ease and made it seem like it was the plan all along. Taylor exemplifies what it means to be a master of her craft and was an absolute pleasure to work with. The private tasting was one of the highlights of the wedding planning process. Edgewood offered a private tasting where we had the opportunity to taste the food with both sets of parents. It made the experience truly special that we had the opportunity to share this event with our parents. The chefs, staff and property coordinator came out to meet us as well and again, cannot emphasize enough how great they are. Their commitment to service shines and it followed through for the day of. The day of the wedding went off without a hitch and the Edgewood staff executed flawlessly. We didn't have to think, we just did. Taylor, Gigi and team did all the thinking for us and all we had to do was show up and enjoy ourselves. The bridal and groomsman suite were set up perfect, and they made it a great place for us to relax and get ready for the wedding. The venue looked spectacular. We had around 220 guests and felt that everyone had plenty of room and did not feel cramped even in the slightest. Last but certainly not least, the food. The food throughout the whole day was exquisite. Our guests are still raving about how delicious it was and how everything was so nicely presented. The drinks were also delicious and Taylor and team made sure that the bar was sufficiently staffed, with very few lines so our guests could get right back to enjoying themselves. If you are looking to have your wedding in New Jersey, you should look no further than Edgewood Country Club. Their commitment to excellence, service and professionalism is clearly demonstrated in their actions the level of detail they went through to make the day perfect. Huge thanks to Taylor and the rest of the team at Edgewood for making this the best day of our lives.

We cannot say enough wonderful things about Edgewood. THANK YOU to the entire team for making our…read morewedding day absolutely unforgettable. From the very beginning, the team at Edgewood, specifically Eric made us feel so comfortable, supported, and completely taken care of. The entire staff was incredible, from every bridal attendant and member of the food and beverage team to the coordinators and assistants. Everyone was professional, attentive, and truly went above and beyond to make sure our day was everything we had envisioned.

We highly recommend this venue to anyone in the wedding planning process! You will not regret it!!! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts Edgewood !!!

I have worked with a lot of rental companies in New York City, and my experience with Jonah from…read moreKraus Farm was the easiest most straightforward experience I have ever had. I was having a comedy show at my chocolate factory and needed 50 chairs for the guests. However, most rental companies have generic looking folding chairs that don't add to an experience or contribute any beauty to a room. Kraus Farms supplied chairs that we're beautiful and vintage. I have never seen chairs like these before. Instead of just being a group of chairs to facilitate sitting, Jonah provided chairs that complimented the room and actually improved the environment. His furniture will actually make your event look better. He personally dropped them off before the event. He brought them all right in to the room in a matter of minutes. After the event they were broken down and packed up in the blink of an eye. After years of using other rental companies, I'm relieved to have finally found one that holds beauty at a premium. His vintage offerings can't be found anywhere else and the ease of doing business with him is unparalleled by any other rental company.

For an event space, the 69th Regiment Armory is extremely versatile…read more Having attended two different charity events in the space, you can really see the armory's potential. It has a bit of an old New York character and feel, and with good reason given it's history. It's true that it is a very old, run-down building - but its capabilities are endless and infinite, as both the events I've been to have been very upscale and very different setups.

Easy to get around, plentiful bathrooms (if you're a dude, the line to the ladies room was super long), clean, comfortable.

Our DJ Tony was awesome as well! Everyone was on the dance floor the entire time, he kept the party going, seamless transitions between songs, he took requests and played them right away, kept the energy up, was very collaborative and super nice! We also got a Photo Booth from them, and that was also amazing. They had a huge variety of setups, made a custom backdrop, got us props that fit our theme, and there was a person there to set it up and take the pix, and make sure it went seamlessly. I be would absolutely work with them again, and would HIGHLY recommend them to anyone looking for a DJ for a party!

TIME(S) for an update:…read more I was thankful for the opportunity to travel to NYC earlier this month, and was once again a guest of the AKA Times Square for one week. Our stay at this property was 3/3/24 to 3/10/24. As per my previous review, this property is in close proximity to: 1. Times Square and its various restaurants, shopping, tourist attractions, Broadway Theatres, and many, many touristy souvenir shops. 2. Subway stations at 42nd St. Times Square and 42 St. Bryant Park. Our room was on the 4th floor and was a very similar type to one we booked in 2021. Though a bit smaller, our room amenities included: 1. Full service kitchen complete with refrigerator and freezer, stove, oven, microwave, and dishwasher. A small collection of plates, saucers, glasses, cups, and utensils completed the kitchen set up. 2. In-Suite laundry: washer and dryer available (located in the bathroom. There were 2 closets, 1 adjacent to the bathroom, and the other in the bedroom (which we made very good use of). A small safe was also located in the bedroom closet. The living room set up was quite comfortable, with the couch and coffee table facing the flat screen tv. Though I did appreciate the various comforts of the room, I did want to mention: 1. Housekeeping is only once a week: Thursdays 2. The A/C units in the living and bedroom were quite NOISY. I don't know how anyone is expected to get any sleep when the A/C unit sounds like a drill digging up concrete. Hotel Amenities: 1. Fitness Center located on PH1. The "Fitness Center" is a wee bit small; there is only a few cardio machines available and some free weights. 2. Lounge area available for use also on PH1 3. On the upper level of the lounge (take the elevator to PH2, and exit to the right to the TERRACE), there is complimentary coffee, tea, and pastries served 7-11am daily. There are "to go" cups available, fyi. We went up to the lounge for coffee at least three days during our stay (the other days we had coffee in the room). As on our visit in 2021, all the staff we encountered/interacted with were friendly and very welcoming.....especially those at the front desk. We observed the staff were more talkative with us on this visit than on the previous trip. side NOTE: There were a few rainy days in NYC last week, and I appreciated very much that the hotel provided umbrellas for the guests.
