Ok long post but I have to say this because everyone needs to know!!! Our wedding at The Legacy Castle was ABSOLUTELY PERFECT. I truly don't even know where to begin because every single part of this experience exceeded anything we could have ever imagined. The venue itself is unreal. It is hands down the most beautiful venue in all of New Jersey. It literally feels like an absolute fairytale being brought to life. Every corner, every detail, every view is just breathtaking. We kept looking around the entire night thinking, "we really got married here?" I still cannot believe we were able to have our wedding at a place this stunning. It is truly top tier. But what made everything even more incredible was the staff. Every single person we interacted with, our maitre d' and coordinator especially, and the entire team, were beyond professional. I mean truly beyond. Nothing was short of absolute perfection with them. Everything was organized, seamless, and handled with such care and precision. I thought one or two things could go wrong because that's just how weddings go. But No mistakes with this staff. What honestly shocked us the most was how many of our vendors pulled us aside just to rave about the staff. Not one, not two, but multiple vendors stopped us and said that in all the weddings they've worked, they have never seen a team this organized and professional. They told us they go to weddings every single weekend, and that this was on another level. Hearing that from people who are constantly in this industry really put into perspective just how incredible this team is. On top of that, my husband and I were honestly so overwhelmed throughout the day, and the staff just took over everything in the best way possible. We brought in so many personal items and decor pieces, fully expecting that at the end of the night we'd probably lose a few things here and there because things get chaotic and things get misplaced. But somehow, they packed every single item back exactly how we brought it, and loaded everything into our car without breaking a sweat. They even escorted us out and sent us on our way with a huge smile at the end of the night. And the food... I don't even have the words. We didn't add anything extra, this was just their standard offering, and our 250 guests are still talking about it. So many people told us it was the best cocktail hour they have ever seen in their lives. The amount of food, the quality, the presentation, it was beyond anything we expected. Everyone says the one thing guests always remember from a wedding is the food, and I know for a fact people are going to remember ours because it was just that good. Everything about The Legacy Castle, the beauty, the organization, the professionalism, the food, the service, was absolutely flawless. It felt like every single person there genuinely cared about making our wedding perfect, and they delivered in every possible way. We are still in disbelief over how perfect everything was and will forever be grateful read more

Went to an event at The Legacy Castle- so gorgeous! The food was fantastic. The rooms were opulent- sky high celings and gorgeous Crystal chandeliers throughout. The staff was incredible- always filling our water glasses and asking if we needed anything- they make sure that guests are happy! Definitely reccommend for weddings, company functions, you name it! read more

Absolutely phenomenal venue. We have had our company Christmas featured at this venue for a few years and wow what a treat and how royal we feel attending the party at this venue. They roll out the red carpet and were treated like royals. The food, the atmosphere, the fun events they offer in all the various rooms, the fast valet parking or shuttle drives, the quick coat check in, the photo booths and set ups and the abundance of food that's overflowing just as much as the drinks, appetizers and desserts all night long, the staff are absolutely fantastic. They are helpful and go out of their way to help you when needed for finding things or hailing the shuttles and providing great service all night during the party. read more

Very nice venue. We were fortune to get a beautiful early fall day for a wedding. I think there were about 200+ attendees and never felt crowded. Food was very good but probably could have used an extra bar set up. I heard people waited quite a bit to get a drink. Otherwise get place to get the fam together for a blessed event. read more

Now that I have fully recovered from an intense, crazy weekend, I can leave a review! Last year, I decided that we wanted to throw a surprise birthday party for my grandma! We visited many venues, but instantly fell in love with The Legacy Castle. I actually found TLC while I was driving through the area a few months earlier, and I remember asking what is that place, and saying that I'd love to throw a party there (and I manifested it!). Once we knew that we wanted our party to be thrown at TLC, we were scheduled for a meeting and did a tour. The entire venue is gorgeous! It looked like a royal palace -- very fit for my beautiful grandmother! We were in contact with Nicole, who made sure we understood every single detail of our contract and any questions we had. This party couldn't have happened without both Nicole and Camryn. They were pretty much at my beck and call; through the rollercoaster of emotions and my anxiety, they made sure I had all my questions answered, and swiftly. Even when they were out of office, they always tried to respond in a reasonable amount of time. Both ladies were very patient -- and trust me, you will need patience to deal with me, lol. Now, let's get to the day of the party. Since it was a surprise, we wanted to visit earlier in the day to take photos and then leave and come back later for the surprise. Lesly, Cesar, and the rest of the team were amazing at making sure our surprise was kept a surprise. My grandma was under the impression that we were going to only have a photoshoot and then dinner. We had two guests arrive an hour early, and they were able to push them away w/o my grandma suspecting anything. The entire team was super accommodating for us. When we came back, Cesar snuck us in the back so we can enter the ballroom through the kitchen and my mom walked in with my grandma. When we got to our head table, they actually had some cocktail hour food waiting for us (we asked them if they were able to save us some food). Lesly and Cesar kept asking me throughout the night if there is anything we needed or anything to make the event better, but everything was already so perfect. Their selection of food was AMAZING and delicious. The guests can't stop singing the chef's praises. Chef, whoever you are, thank you! My folks are/were very happy! I love how much the venue has to offer. I would recommend it to everyone. I couldn't have chosen a better place to celebrate my grandma's birthday. It was perfect just for her and she loved every moment of it. Our guests won't stop telling us how much of a beautiful birthday party it was. read more

The Legacy Castle made our dream wedding come to life. Special thank you to Michelle, Marina, and Brandon who made everything we wanted possible. We have been planning our wedding for 2 years, and all our expectations were met and then some. The day of our wedding went smoothly, and our attendants were extremely attentive. The food and service was incredible. We would recommend everyone to have their wedding at the Legacy Castle. It is more than just a beautiful venue. read more

I go to a fundraising event here every year. They are attentive and the food is good for basically a buffet. I've had better and I've had worse. The physical grounds of the Legacy Castle are beautiful. Need to have a little patience for valet because it takes awhile to get your car. read more

Spectacular decor and lovely entryway. This place impressed me. From the huge chandler and high ceilings down to the waterfall, grand stairways, wood bar, meeting rooms, event rooms, service, and staff. I could only dream of having an event there. It's where the rich and famous have their memorable parties. If your looking for a breathe taking location with its own overlooking lake. This is your venue. Staff told me they hold events for over 2,000 people. Keep this place in mind before making your selection. It's definitely a must see. read more

I partied like it was 1999 at this amazing venue! Actually, like it was 1920´s. Attended a Gatsby themed party. Awesome venue. Beautiful! Beautiful! Beautiful! Amazing service. Gréât entertainment. Real good food. I have no major complaints. Bathroom also beautiful. They are strict on timing though so as soon as 12 midnight rang, the table coverings and all were pulled from the tables. I found that a bit disrespectful especially for all the money that was shelled out. It's a very pricey venue and be ready to pay $$$$ per head but so worth it. read more

We started looking at venues for our wedding in May 2022. Although we leave in New York, we didn't like the venue that we visiting so far. There was something missing for us at every venue we went to visit. I was getting pretty tired after the fourth venue and all I wanted is a place to make me go WOW this is it. While I was on TikTok, someone posted a video about the Legacy Castle in NJ. I immediately forward the video to my fiancé. He called me and told me schedule an appointment to visit the Castle. When I arrived to the castle I meet with Michelle, she's wonderful and welcoming. I immediately fell in love with the Castle. Michelle and I came up with the perfect day for my wedding Saturday April 1, 2023. Although it was over 1 hour away from our home, because we fell in love with the place we book it April 1 for our big day. During our process to getting everything ready for that day, I realized all the vendors we choose needed insurance. All vendors must submit insurance papers 30 days before the wedding date if the don't have it, we have to purchase insurance to cover all vendors. Our DJ insurance did not include worker's compensation therefore we had to purchased a day policy for $300.00 (disappointing). Finally our big day has come, everything started beautifully, the staffs were friendly and welcoming. The bridal suite was very lovely and catered with fruits and champagne. Two of the staff members we were so pleased with Cesar and Ashley, words cannot even explain how wonderful they were. Throughout the day the power went out about 3 times and of course the generator kicked in. (I was disappointed by that) The food was amazing and the drinks perfect, Thank you Mr. Chef. The Legacy Castle is a beautiful wedding venue and small things they definitely have to consider of making changes to. The vendors insurance policy should not be so excessive and the power that kept on going out. read more

Amazing place to walk around. I've passed the space so many times but this is the first time visiting due to a wedding. If you are getting married definitely recommend the place is magical. So here are my notes: Space for an event is A+. Valet / Greet staff was very good. Food: cocktail food was plenty and a lot of variety. Spoke to most of the guests and they really enjoyed the cocktail hour. Room was nicely set up and good space. Staff were nice. Funny thing is they make them wear the white gloved. I use to work banquets and well they are annoying and most of the time useless. They are dirtier and have more bacteria than just washed hands. Kept taking them off to do any real good service. I would give the Captain a B+. Not sure who it was but they definitely didn't work with wedding planner or person in charge of the flow. I went to the restroom and all the salads had been taken off. Apparently, there was lack of communication to the DJ and Bride / Groom to pause and let folks sit down for dinner. This happened again at the end for dessert. There was no clear communication so most guests didn't enjoy the dessert platter. I looked around as they were going off the tables full. Most guests never saw the plates because they were dancing. If it was my wedding, it would be different. I was a Captain back in the days, I made sure everything was coordinated to ensure guests had time to enjoy the food. Salad course not sure saw it but didn't eat it. Pasta was good. Main dish for me was the Filet which was good but overcooked. Tough to have it perfect when it is a large group...most wedding guests don't seem to get this. Personally, I would do medallions of filet. Easier to get to rare, medium and well. Beverages: they were ok but heavy on the booze. Don't think bartenders have enough training. Cocktail bar said that they didn't offer any non alcoholic drinks (club soda). I found it to be strange but let it go. Once inside the main dining room, it was available so not sure what happened there. On a separate note, I did ask one of the servers (young Josh) if he could find out about getting a club soda since I was not drinking. He offered me the cocktail bar. Told him my story of non alcoholic drinks. Said it was weird but maybe once we get moved to the room, it would be available at the other bar. He was sweet kid so I didn't make a big deal and decided to wait. I did ask him again if he can find out and let me know. Once we went into the room, it was available. Something for them to train the team. They need to be able to get things for guests and if they can't then go to a manager but if they are trained in great service....they can do it on their own specially a club soda. Restroom attendant very nice. Valet got my car quick. So overall a great experience. They could work on some minor things to get it to the expected level but I would recommend holding your wedding there. Best wishes to the team and thank you for making the wedding (not mine) a great event for the bride and groom. read more

My husband and I got married at this stunning venue in September 2021. It was always my dream to get married and have a fairytale wedding, and having the opportunity to get married at the castle made my dream come true. The attendants were on top of everything. They made sure we didn't need anything and everything was in order. The guests LOVED the cocktail hour and enjoyed the aesthetic and atmosphere of the castle. We obviously chose the castle because of its stunning decor, and our guests had nothing but positive things to say. The downside to my experience was learning that my mirror seating chart was shattered and it's unclear how it happened. I never received an apology and only found out after I noticed it wasn't packed with my belongings. It's something I wanted to keep as it was very special to me. A suite for the grooms out there would be a great investment. My husband had to get dressed at the hotel since a suite wasn't available for him to get ready in. This is a short review that doesn't include everything I loved about this venue; however, I highly recommend it. The decor, substantial amount of food, and drinks will make any guest confirm they made the right decision by checking yes on their RSVP card. read more

We recently hosted my daughter's wedding ceremony and reception at the Legacy Castle. The venue is indeed very beautiful just like all the other reviews suggest - and why not - they do charge you a pretty penny ! I do think however that TLC's customer service leaves a lot to be desired. Here is what happened - it was the afternoon after the wedding ceremony, a few hours before the cocktail hour/reception. My other daughter (sister of the bride) was sitting on a chair in the lobby waiting for her ride. She had changed into some casual clothes. A vendor in the meantime came over and left some suitcases near her - while she was sitting there, a staff member came up to her and told her that she was not to sit there and that she needed to clear out all that "junk" that was next to her. "This is not a place where you can be dressed the way you are" is what she was told. I don't care how good your venue is, speaking to my kid this way, after all the money that her family just spent on this venue, is absolutely unacceptable. And it's not as is she was dressed badly or anything of that sort - in any case, this has left a very bad taste in my mouth - and as far as recommending this venue is concerned, if you are willing to pay their price, there are several venues just as stunning where you and your family members will be treated a lot better than my daughter was, read more

Our eldest son was married here on Father's Day 2022. It was a dream wedding. I think my daughter-in-love is very happy with her fairytale wedding. As a parent, I am grateful to everyone at Legacy Castle who worked behind the scenes to pull off a grand event. As a consumer, it would be my pleasure to recommend this venue without hesitation. read more

If I could leave more than 5 stars I would. My wife and I had our wedding at The Legacy Castle in November of 2022. The venue, the food, and most importantly the staff exceeded our expectations. The food from the cocktail hour to dinner was absolutely amazing and had amazing taste/flavor. I would like to give a special thanks for Michelle & Camryn for taking care of us from start to finish. I'd also like to thank Jose & Jacquelyn for taking care of my wife and I on our wedding day to make sure we were as comfortable as possible. If you are looking for a place to host your wedding, this is it. read more

Everything about this venue is amazing and we would absolutely recommend. The staff is very attentive, helpful, and kind. The venue is breathtaking. We did a buffet for our wedding and I cannot tell you how many guests said it was the best food they've ever had at a wedding. The service is amazing. It's worth every penny. read more

The Legacy Castle is the best place to have fun for a prom and wedding. I had my senior prom over there on June 4th, 2021 with my friends and teachers from Pascack Hills. I ate a lot of food, took selfies with the ladies, and danced the night away. read more

Everything was perfect, food, drinks, the venue was phenomenal. Easily the best wedding I've ever been to minus the bartender who kept ignoring me, wasn't enough to deter me from putting a 5 star review read more

When we were planning to book a venue for our wedding I told my Wife lets go to The Legacy Castle and when you see the place I'm sure you will not want to book anywhere else. We sat down with Brandon and Michelle and after going over everything we wanted we decided to Book 6/4/23. Up until the wedding we were dealing with Camryn on the details of the wedding and everything that needed to get done with our vendors. She was very helpful and was even able to accommodate me with alternatives to my food allergies. Arriving on 6/4 we were taken care of by Caesar and Alexa and the service was 10/10. According to our guests the food was excellent and the service was spectacular. I can say I am somewhat of a perfectionist and I can usually find something wrong and I can truly say from beginning to end I did not have one complaint or wish I did something any other way? Thank you to the staff of The Legacy Castle for everything and I recommend this place to everyone. It really is a one stop shop for your wedding. It saves so much time not having to deal with taking pictures off site as well when you have a place this royal and beautiful. Thanks again for everything! read more

Bridal Attendant Talita and Maitre'd Jose went ABOVE and beyond to make me as the bride feel like Cinderella. They anticipated my moves before I even knew I needed to make them. They were courteous, respectful and had an incredible can-do attitude. 15/10 experience at the Legacy Castle due in very large part to Talita and Jose. I envisioned a beautiful fairy tale wedding and that is what we achieved together. A thousand thank you's; I'll remember this day for the rest of my life. read more

Manager reached out and left a comment. In response the wedding i was a guest at was in November my husbands coworker Jimmy and his new wife Chris. My review still stands read more

Dropping a star for this reason. I specifically called and spoke to a nice lady in events about a peanut allergy of an attendee at an event. She assured me that he would be able to enjoy some desserts at the end of the event. Even giving me a name of someone he could speak with the night of who would show him safe choices. Well, he did speak with this person and they told him, "nothing, have some fruit". This is unacceptable and disappointing as I know there are plenty of people out there with allergies and I'm sure they cater to them as to get business. Would it have been to much to have given him a bowl of sorbet or pudding? Some kind of treat besides fruit? Going the extra mile in the hospitality business isn't asking too much. read more

Aside from the fact that the venue is absolutely gorgeous, the best part of The Legacy Castle has to be their dedicated, hardworking and kind staff. I had the pleasure of getting married here last Friday and I am still living in a dream. The food was outstanding and my guests cannot stop talking about it. My bridal attendant, Leslie...I wanted to take her home with me. She made sure I was feeling absolutely no stress and was beyond helpful. Cesar, the maitre d, was on top of his game the entire day and doesn't miss a beat. Marina, who worked me with during the entire planning process was a pleasure. I cannot thank The Legacy Castle enough for helping me throw the best party of my life. We shopped around different venues but the castle stood out. It was worth every penny! I cannot thank you guys enough! read more

LESLIE'S WEEK is a Stage 4 Metastatic Breast Cancer nonprofit. We hold our STAGE4CHANGE Conference here every year. All of our women are Terminal. They and their husband caregivers are speakers and their children entertain with their impressive talent. The Legacy Castle treats all of our guests like Queens, Kings, and royal children! You will never find a staff like the Castle Staff, compassionate, kind, attentive, professional, courteous, and profoundly human! The chef and his staff prepare menus that are stellar - a variety of food with selections that fit everyone's preferences. The valet service is exceptional. The bathroom attendants are meticulous. The interior decor leaves you breathless and in wonder. The office staff who assist with the booking arrangements leave no stone unturned in the process of contract arrangements. There is no moment of discomfort from the time you open your car door to enter until the time you leave.

The Legacy Castle The level of professionalism, kindness, and understanding by the castle staff was second to none. Truly a world class experience. From the moment we walked in we were blown away by the castle's beauty. Then we met the owner who was so sweet to us and gave us a tour with no sales pressure. When we did book the castle they handled us with such care from start to finish. They always replied promptly, gave us much needed guidance, and helped us plan a truly magical day. Our coordinator Camryn was so amazing, so was Juliana our bridal assistant, and Jose the MaitreD. They made us feel like family during a very stressful time. We will never forget how beautiful they made everything for us and we are eternally grateful. We will without a doubt be celebrating future important life events here. If you can have your wedding here - do it!! You will be blown away. read more

If you watch the Jersey shore and think they have good taste, this is your place! It's nice, but also crazy-tacky. Make sure your contract states a full refund if it floods....because it will flood, and you'll need a boat to get to the front door. A true Snooky paradise! read more

This place is amazing! The grandeur of this venue was gorgeous! It was very that sad that the weather did not cooperate The staircase was a bit difficult hard for the girls with long dresses on maybe due to the heels and wetness outside, yet it looked great! The staff was constantly drying them The food was amazing, I didn't try it all, but the creativity of the display and quality of the prosciutto came through! Lobster tails, mini cheesecakes and tons of amazing sweets! Chicken and waffles, lemon chicken, carving stations with prime rib, turkey, and pasta with vodka sauce to name a few! I didn't even go to the fries and sliders, the students enjoyed them though! Salads were amazing. Along with meats and cheeses with roasted vegetables, I didn't even go around enough to see everything, but all was top notch! read more

I cannot say enough good things about the Legacy Castle. Mounir was so kind when we were booking our wedding, he has a very kind fatherly approach. Camryn and Michelle were very organized in executing every detail of our wedding. The food was EXCEPTIONAL! I didn't think food that was made in such large quantities could taste gourmet, but the legacy castle didn't disappoint. Not to mention their show-stopping Venetian Hour!

We felt so comfortable and trusted them from the day we met them. The service and staff on our wedding day went above our expectations.

This place is amazing!!! I had my wedding here and let me tell you I'd give it more than five stars if I could. The venue first off is incredibly beautiful. As soon as you go into the gates you will drive on this strip and once you get to the place it is magnificent. A true castle. Once you actually walk into it is even more beautiful. It is like nothing I've ever seen before. Stunning decor, beautiful columns, and a breathtaking staircase. I know most places do give a food tasting, but please do not let that bother you. The food is outstanding. All my guests kept telling me how they've never saw a cocktail hour and had such delicious food at a venue. The legacy castle is really a dream come true. The service is also great. Cesar and Leslie really are such sweethearts and did everything to make sure we were happy. My husband and I had nothing but great things to say about this place and we are so happy we chose The Legacy Castle!!!! read more

My job had a yearly event here and it was fantastic. Food was delicious. Each dish was uniquely special. I loved the salmon with stuffed spinach. They had a balsamic chicken dish that i had to get a second helping of. Shrimp was as good as my favorite Spanish restaurant in the ironbound. Deserts exceeded other venues I have been to in variety and quality. Staff was friendly and attentive to everyone. It was a huge event with at least 500 people. I agree about the stairs that someone mentioned in the review. They had a worker standing at the bottom warning people to be careful. They are beautiful but you have to focus when walking down as they are a little hard to navigate, especially if you've had a few. If I were to have an event I would want it here over other choices. This week I went to an event at the local West Orange wedding spot and the food and service at the Legacy were way better! read more
