My friend had her wedding reception here and it was a gorgeous affair from start to finish. The space is sophisticated, swanky, elegant, magical, classy, stunning, luxurious, glittering, the list goes on. We arrived a little before 6 PM (when the cocktail hour begins) so waited in a lovely room with a beautiful and dainty chandelier, arrangements of large white flowers, and a waterfall display of the letters GM, for Grand Marquis. In the adjoining room there were sweet red colored cocktails being poured, more chandeliers and white + gray marble floors. There was also a stately hallway with columns and lights going down the length of it, as well as a grand staircase with intricate design and Chihuly-esque lights on display. We were allowed to enter the area where cocktail hour was being served a few minutes before 6 PM. The room was filled with all types of appetizers, black tablecloths, candles and warm lighting. The sheer amount of food was impressive and there were even servers coming around with additional warm small bites. Most of the food was delicious, well made and flavorful (except for some of the Chinese dishes and shrimp cocktail which was quite bland). COCKTAIL HOUR EATS: Lobster, shrimp, antipasto, shrimp scampi, fried rice (which was made right in front of our eyes), shrimp and vegetable dim sum, fried dumplings, baked/fried potato station, various types of chicken, pizza, tater tots, fruit, prosciutto / cheese, bread and crackers, deviled eggs, salad, veggies, fruit After trying a bit of almost everything at the cocktail hour, we were led into the glorious main hall which was flooded with pretty pinkish purple and blue lights and boasted a masjestic, spacious dance floor, along with nicely decorated tables with pink and white flowers at the end. The bride and groom's first dance was filled with smoke and sparklers, which was definitely a sight to see and very romantic. Shortly after that, the sit down dinner was served, which started with bread rolls, salad with pieces of pita bread. I was still so full from the cocktail hour, I could barely eat any of it. For the entree, I selected the ribeye steak with mashed potatoes and asparagus. The steak was massive, so thankfully I was able to get it to go. During the reception, dancers, folks on stilts, balloons and neon lights came out which really livened the crowd. A bit later there was a room full of desserts and the selection was incredible! Everything tasted amazing. DESSERT ROOM TREATS: S'mores making station (I absolutely loooved this!), chocolate fountain (along with strawberries, pineapple, apple, banana, pound cake, rice crispy treats, wafers, marshmallows for dipping), bread pudding, apple crisp, baklava, ice cream (with sprinkles, mini M&Ms, waffles, gummy bears, oreos for toppings), snow cones, layered chocolate cake, mini cupcakes, carrot cake, red velvet cake, donuts, cheesecake, mousse, jello shots, cookies, popcorn & the wedding cake boxed up! The staff was excellent! They were all very friendly, personable, kind and went above and beyond to make sure all of us had everything that was requested/needed.

The Grand Marquis has been a popular Central NJ catering hall for over 25 years. I have attended several weddings and sweet sixteens over the past 20 plus years. The Grand Marquis has changed hands at least once to my knowledge over that time. The location is beautiful, nicely decorated and well adorned with outdoor patios in both the front hall and back hall giving party goers outdoor space for cocktail hours, cigar smoking etc. Catering Halls are a challenge to review because many times the Catering Hall is serving what the hosts of the party request. I attended a Sweet Sixteen this past weekend and for the most part attending a party at The Grand Marquis is a positive experience. The bar service is second to none, top shelf liquor and a large variety of spirits, beer, cider and beer. The cocktail hour was very good, the grilled baby lamb chops were the star of the show for me. Beautiful cheese and antipasto items were laid out nicely. Servers handed out small bites of appetizers. The main dinner was served buffet style. The food moved and was served hot. Unfortunately there were more misses than hits. The loin of beef that was served wasn't good, poorly seasoned and flavorless. There were 2 things that I thought were solid, the turkey breast and a ravioli in a basil cream sauce. Shrimp scampi was served, while the shrimp were fresh thankfully, the sauce was flavorless and the tails were left on. Other misses included their rendition of Chicken Marsala and Penne Vodka. Dessert was unremarkable. Valet parking is available and the attendants do a solid job.

Huge wedding celebration

Attended a wedding here today, we traveled from Bayside queens to N.J. Took about 1.5 hrs travel time. Anyways upon arrival the valet took our car right away and we were directed to the lobby. Very nice decor, simple but to the point. Our friends had the ceremony, reception and late lunch. Overall the reception food was excellent, bartenders were very attentive and friendly. While the reception food had a lot of stations sushi, potato bar with potato bacon skins, pastrami, italian, cheese and charcuterie. At one point i did not want to keep eating because i was afraid i would not be able to eat the main course. Since it was very hot and humid, we did not take pictures outside. But the foyer areas have some sort of natural light ceilings and you can get great pictures even with a cellphone. The only 2 things we did not like was that the sauce for the main course. It had to much salt and the potatoes which accompanied the chateaubriand had too much butter. Desserts and coffee were very good along with the cake.

Grand marquis is an elegant and beautiful venue with in-house catering. We came for a work event and most of the food was delicious. The staff was friendly. The venue was really clean. There is really nothing to complain about when you get free food and free alcohol.

All of the food served at the wedding was very good, from the cocktail hour, dinner, and dessert extravaganza.
