They were the Unsung Behind-the-Scenes absolute ***Heroes*** of my daughter's May wedding at Alpine Country Club in Alpine, NJ. They worked with our event planner, Sarah of Honeycomb + Prince, and took my daughter's vision of transforming a large, upstairs indoor space into a late-night Vintage Carnival elegant After Party and absolutely nailed it! Their lights, their games, the cotton candy, etc etc made for the most imaginative and fun exclamation point part of the wedding day. Incredibly hard-working and pleasant, you can count on Parties by Porcelli to deliver and run quality products with a smile and a fair price. Absolutely love this vendor who made my daughter's dream carnival come true!

When discussing my next event, Melissa reminded me that I ordered too much last time and so she adjusted my order accordingly. What cracked me up is I didn't remember that, and she did! This is the personalized service you get from this company. This is the kind of company you want on your side. I appreciate that Parties by Porcelli understand my needs better than I do! Good job Melissa, John and crew! See you in September.

Your kids will absolutely have a BALLLL here…read more Definitely one of the best indoor playgrounds we have been to in northern NJ. We decided to bring our kids here on a wet and rainy Saturday morning at 10:30AM to let them get some steam out .... and boy did they. First off, all shoes must come off when in the play area. In addition, it's advertised that no outside food or drinks are allowed, but I observed people with Dunkin iced coffees and bottles of water from outside. It seemed that no staff members check your bags, so if you end up bringing something inside your bag, chances are it'll make it in. As for the play area, this indoor playground is prettttty, prettttty big, as in wide and spacious. I love the fact that there aren't a whole lot of tall apparatus, like super tall slides, because it's really unnecessary for little kids. There are plenty of slides though, but, of a reasonable and safe height. The obstacles in here feel endless and there are plenty of interactive activities too, like immersive games to play. Also, there is a staff member monitoring the gate into the play area at all times as well, which is nice to see. Although we weren't here for any birthday party, we did observe quite a few take place in the celebration/cake rooms. In fact, I ended up walking into an empty party room just to see how big the room was and it felt like it was a bit on the small side, however, it seemed like the parties that were happening squeezed quite a few people inside. The parties seemed VERY, VERY well organized. I observed the staff announcing on the loudspeakers for attendees of respective parties to head to the party rooms when it was time to eat and I noticed staff members assisting the party parents with decorations and moving gifts, food and cakes. Back to the play area, there was a staff member vacuuming parts of the play area every so often, although it seemed like it was more for show because whatever they were doing didn't seem all that productive. Also, there didn't seem to be a whole lot of policing of the play rules either as I guess it's expected parents will do it. If you're wondering about food, there is a small eating area with benches and quite the menu of food (e.g. pizzas, quesadillas, pretzels, desserts, drinks) that they sell - definitely more than I've seen at other places. In fact, we ended up eating here because the menu was interesting enough and the food/combo was worth it where we got the Large Pizza with 5 box drinks for just $18. At the end of the day, our kids absolutely had a blast here. They loved all of the activities and it never felt boring for them despite the fact that we were here for 2.5 hours. Also, other kids were flying around and everyone seemed like they were really enjoying themselves. I rarely say we'll be back at some places, but I undoubtedly feel we'll be back at some point.

Room was filthy had to request that…read morethey at least swiffer part of dance floor that was visiable Carpets haven't been cleaned in a very long time. Was just very dirty. Chandeliers look smoked from years of not being cleaned. Two awful portable ac units ins room. Food like grapes and candy from previous events around window sills. Staff was accommodating but very limited service. Hard to get water refill. Unlimited mimosas in pitchers? But no soft drinks. Food was good. It's a shame because the room is pretty. Cash bar was okay. I just feel for what they are charging. Should have better upkeep

We came to Acadia Catering and Events to have them be our venue and catering for the wedding. I…read moreabsolutely could not recommend them more and are already looking forward to other events they host for the community in the future. Acadia Catering and Events saved our wedding from ruin. They've worked with us from the beginning from concept of us doing a backyard wedding to eventually switching over and using their venue in Emerson NJ. Melody and Chef Victor crafted us a custom menu to our wishes, which included fusing cuisines from both of our cultures (Chinese and Italian). Not only was the menu exciting, it met our budget too. With their combined years of experience and positive regard from the Bergen county community, Melody and Chef Victor were also able to recommend excellent other vendors who we used for our special day. They definitely know what they're doing! During the planning process we were absolutely attended to, including have all our numerous questions answered quickly. Melody and Chef Victor have an immense amount of knowledge of planning an event and having great food with it. For our tasting, we loved everything we tasted and easily put majority of it on our menu for our wedding. These included Korean bbq skewers, siu Mai pork and shrimp dumplings, rice ball arancini, soba noodle salad, and coconut shrimp. Our guests loved them come wedding day. Additionally the cafe food at the venue is excellent, which many golfers who go to Soldier Hill Golf Course go to after their rounds of golf. If you get a chance to eat in the cafe, the short rib sandwich, salmon salad, and crispy shrimp wrap are our absolute favorites. Even my in-laws come by and tell me they think of the food often. Come week of the wedding, we got their full attention and help to make sure the day was perfect. Despite enough rain for flooding in the area and volatile weather throughout our wedding day, the team at Acadia Events and Catering absolutely delivered a high quality event, delicious food, delicious cocktails, and a night everyone keeps talking about. We had four stations to accommodate all cultures and tastes represented in our family and friends. It's the talk of the town and we're so happy with it. We couldn't have celebrated our special day without Melody, Victor, and the Acadia Events and Catering team. Go check them out!

The wait staff was super friendly and on top of their game. There were three entree choices; short ribs, chicken, and salmon. In the end everyone was raving about the short ribs, which were cooked to perfection. As for the venue space, we didn't hire a DJ, but they provided us with speakers and music. There's a large open patio overlooking the golf course which we'll be sure to utilize for our next event in the summer. Overall, from start to finish the event was a success. We look forward to hosting many more here in the future.

I booked a party for my daughter who was turning 16 and the venue was very responsive until I told…read morethem that due to COVID we would not be having the party at the time book. I was told that they were sorry to hear but understood under the circumstances. They said they would be sending me info so that I can rebook at a later date and since then I have not receive anything. They have not answered any of my emails, of which I have sent various. Highly disappointed in their customer service. Treated you well until they took your deposit and then did not want to further discuss any other options. The place is beautiful but not worth the aggravation or being ignored. Shame on you guys.

As far as a venue for a Sweet 16 goes, Glow is PERFECT and I am so glad I found it on Google!!!…read moreMarisol is a true professional who has these parties down to a science, and the entire rest of the staff is on their game too.

And once the party was over, the staff even helped carry out to our cars the centerpieces, leftovers and other stuff. I didn't expect that, and I really appreciated it. If you are planning any size Sweet 16 party, look no further--you'll be in the most competent of hands!

At one pt, I didn't think of the idea of using the book as the actual guestbook until days before the party. When I emailed them with the idea, I got a response back with photos of the guestbook setup. It had the the guestbook as I imagined, and photos of our boy, flowers, balloons, and directions for guests that rhymed in the spirit of Dr. Seuss! Needless to say, they were a joy to work with.
