    Dream Wedding

    I got married Oct. 7 and The Merion provided me with the wedding of my dreams! Holly, Nick, and all the staff were amazing! Holly made the entire year of planning smooth. Day of the wedding, none of the staff allowed me to stress! They were so accommodating that one of biggest compliments I received is how kind the staff was to my guests. I wish I could get married again just to experience the fun all over again at The Merion.

    The Merion's reply:

    Milli & Chris, my darlings!
    It was a pleasure working with you and being a part of your special day with your 500 lovely guests. It is my greatest pleasure seeing your wedding plans executed from idea to picture perfect. I was able to see your guests laughing, dancing and enjoying all the delicious food you chose from the Merion menu. That baby suckling pick was a huge hit during cocktail hour. I hope to see you and your family soon.

    I wish you all the best.
    Truly,
    Holly and the Merion team

    A Wonderful Partnership for our Gala

    We had a wonderful experience at The Merion for our largest fundraiser held annually. This was the first time we held this event at The Merion and it went off seamlessly. Our Merion contact was Stephanie and she was phenomenal with handling our event with the details and accommodations needed to support us. Her partnership in the planning was so helpful and things ran so smoothly because of her taking into account our needs and constantly following up with us. Our Executive Team received countless amounts of compliments on the venue, the variety of the delicious food and the staff. Thank you for partnering with us for a successful event and we hope for many more!

    The Merion's reply:

    Thank you so much for such a kind, thoughtful review. We are so glad the Merion team was able to exceed your expectations.

    Truly,
    Holly and the Merion Team

    Love this venue.

    Absolutely beautiful venue. Each ballroom has its own distinctive style with numerous photo ops for lasting memories. Callie, the manager working with us was professional and very responsive to our questions and requests. We can’t say enough nice things about her and how she tried to meet our needs for the wedding day.. We definitely recommend the Merion as a wedding venue as it offered so much in physical beauty as well as sumptuous food offerings with good value. The outdoor ceremony area was also what fairytales are made of. Love this venue.

    The Merion's reply:

    Hi Joyce! Thank you for your kind words and review! I look forward to working with yourself, Jackie, and your families to help plan the wedding! We cant wait to share the day with you!
    Best, Calli and The Merion Team!

    Dream wedding!

    From the moment I attended a wedding at the Merion, I knew this is where I wanted mine to be. From our initial meeting and tour to the numerous connections and events such as bridal shows and venue showcases, the Merion team was AMAZING to work with! Shout out to Holly and Chelsea for being the best dynamic duo to help plan and coordinate our wedding. The cocktail hour offerings alone made us say yes at first but all the food was DELICIOUS. The timing of service was incredible and all of the picture spots were magical. I wish I could do it all over again!!!

    The Merion's reply:

    Thank you so much for your review! We are incredibly happy you had a wonderful Wedding with us at The Merion! Thank you for letting us share the evening with you! Chelsea and Holly are an incredible Dynamic Duo! We hope to see you again soon! Congratulations and Best Wishes!

    My perfect Wedding

    Wow is all I can say about The Merion. I hired the Merion for my wedding and the way they coordinated everything was so professional and made my wedding planning process so stress free. I am so happy I decided to choose them as my venue. Literally nothing went wrong that day because of their professionalism. They gave me the option to use two ballrooms, one for my ceremony and the other for my reception. It made it so much easier for my vendors. Definitely consider The Merion for any big event that you are planning.

    A Dream Come True

    The Merion was the SECOND place we looked when searching for a venue for our wedding. I was immediately captures by the beauty and regality of the Skylight room and our search was over in one day! Holly was our Event Specialist and she was friendly from the start. I appreciate how she was always available to answer my questions any time of day or night. She even laughed at my corny jokes. She kept by our side during the ceremony and cocktail hour, and was so accommodating – helping us get food, drinks, and keeping our wedding party in check. Our server Maria and Maître d Scott were also wonderful, attentive, friendly, and fun to be around. The food was AMAZING and everyone kept telling how us this was the ‘best wedding ever’ all thanks to the staff at the Merion. They even had a couple of surprises throughout the night. Overall, the Merion made us feel so special, and made every dream we had for our wedding come true. THANK YOU to everyone who made my dreams since I was a kid possible – we are forever grateful and can’t wait to renew our vows at the Merion in 20 years!

    Perfect Day

    My wife and I got married at the Merion in October of 2022 and it was absolutely AMAZING.

    From the first time we walked in to the venue to the time we were departing on the day of our wedding there's only one way to describe how the Merion treated us: They treated us like "Family".

    Stephanie Lamberti was our event specialist for our wedding and she was always accessible, extremely easy to work with and made our day extra special.

    I would highly recommend this venue and Stephanie to anyone that is looking for a stress free and beautiful wedding!

    Best night ever!!

    The Merion really made our wedding day feel like a dream come true and more. They went above and beyond to make our night so special. The food was spectacular. I can’t even begin to describe how amazing it all was. There staff even had everything boxed and walked out to our cars the next morning of things we left behind. Special shout-out to Holly, she was so easy and helpful to work with. We couldn’t be happier with the outcome of our day. If you’re looking for the perfect destination for your dream wedding, look no further! The Merion is the perfect place for your perfect day.

    The Merion's reply:

    Carly, I can't tell you how much your review means to us here at The Merion. Our staff strives to execute all events with excellence. I'm so glad you and your guests left with full bellies and full hearts. On a personal note, I wish you and Dan all the best this world has to offer.
    Truly, Holly and The Merion Team!

    My wedding was perfect!

    Everything and Everyone at the Merion was amazing. My coordinator was Calli and she was the best. She was very responsive and got back to me in a timely manner. She kept me so calm the day of the wedding. She was very prompt and kept me on schedule. Wayne was awsome too! All my guests raved about the beauty and how clean the Merion was. There was so much food, and my guest were stuffed by time dinner came.

    The Merion's reply:

    Hi Veronica! Thank you for your nice review and thank you for letting us share the day with yourself and Thomas! Congratulations again :)

    Book the merion now!

    Writing this review is difficult because there are truly no words to explain how amazing the ENTIRE staff at The Merion was, from booking all the way up to the end of the night. My husband and I looked at each other a few times throughout the wedding day and said to ourselves that we couldn’t believe this was OUR wedding. Our wedding coordinator, Chelsea, was beyond amazing. Constantly checking in with us to make sure we were good and everything we wanted was done to perfection. THE FOOD at The Merion is truly UNMATCHED. Our entire wedding was blown away at how much food there was and how amazing everything was. Each plate came out so hot and fresh (there was over 120 people) and cooked like they were dining privately. We dropped off our decorations/ signage to them on our rehearsal day and everything was put out exactly (if not better) how we pictured it. There is seriously no other venue who would go above and beyond the way The Merion did and I will now be convincing everyone I know to have their wedding there. I would give them 10000/10 if I could. We could not be happier with our decision to have our wedding there.

    Best Wedding I

    My husband and I got married here on August 13, 2022. This amazing venue made our day everything that we thought it would be and much, much more! The entire process- from touring the venue, to choosing the menu, wine selection, hotel, seating arrangements, decorations, and more... were all made so easy with the help of Calli! We ran most of our ideas by Calli and she was always so quick to respond, open and honest with us on how everything would come together.

    The day of staff, especially Calli, Wayne, Maria, and Joann (to name a few) were all SO attentive, kind, and helpful.

    Our guests loved our wedding! Everyone could not stop talking about the endless food that we had at cocktail hour and the Viennese dessert table. The ballroom was the perfect size for our 180 guest count and we honestly couldn't have pictured our day to go any better than it did.

    THANK YOU Merion (and of course Calli especially) for the wedding of our dreams!

    The Merion's reply:

    Becca! Thank you so much for your kind review! We are so happy you had the Wedding of your Dreams with us! Congratulations again to yourself and Andrew!
    We hope to see you back at The Anniversary Dinner soon :)
    Best, Calli and The Merion Team

    Best place to get married by a landslide

    This is the best place to get married. My friends and family were blown away by the beauty, service, and food. I would highly recommend. Oh and I can go on ll day about their main representative Holly. My wedding was awesome because of her. I picked this place because of her warmth when I came for a tour as well. Do yourself a favor and have your wedding here!!

    The Merion's reply:

    Alleyna, you warm my heart with your kind words. You have been a joy to work with I am so happy I could please you, I know planning an out of state wedding can be nerve wracking. I thank you for your trust and I truly care for you and your family. Best wishes and visit us when you are in NJ!

    Wedding experience

    We just had our wedding at the Merion. What a beautiful venue! The food was fantastic and the staff was extremely helpful. The day of our wedding it was 70 degrees no humidity. The night of our wedding it seemed like the heat was on inside the Merion. I was sweating the entire time during my cocktail hour which completely ruined my hair. So as the bride, the rest of my pictures looked awful. I had several guests say how hot it was as well. My bridal suite was hot as well, even with the fan on. This was my only complaint the night of our wedding. Everything else was great.

    The merion helped give us our dream wedding

    We had the most perfect wedding at the Merion, all of our friends and families were raving about the gorgeous venue, friendly service, and incredible venetian dessert display. Our coordinator was Stephanie, and she was amazing. She was very responsive, paid attention to details, and was flexible in working with us to make sure we got everything we wanted and that it ran seamlessly. Thank you again for everything!

    This venue was outstanding!

    This venue was outstanding!! Although the planning process went a little awry in terms of communication, the night turned out to be phenomenal! The service all night was on point--anything that I needed or my guests needed was handled, the food was awesome as well as the variety of selection, and the overall beauty of the venue just made the night that much more magical. All of my guests raved about the great night, and still continue to tell us how amazing it was. I honestly could not have had a more perfect wedding, thanks to the wonderful people at the Merion.

    Nothing short of amazing

    The Merion exceeded my expectations! From start to finish, the entire team worked their butts off to ensure we had the most amazing wedding. Due to the pandemic, we had to postpone twice. The Merion allowed us to have a small ceremony in another ballroom and still allowed us to do our reception in our main ballroom (The Palazzo).

    I want to give a few special shout outs:

    To Stephanie, our event specialist, YOU ARE A GEM! Thank you for all of your hard work and for making our special day(s) everything that we wanted and more! You're the sweetest and went above and beyond for us. We cannot thank you enough!

    To Nick, our maitre d' for the night, you were incredible! Thank you for being so sweet and helping our event go so smoothly that night. Your service is unmatched!

    To Dee, our captain, and Tracey our head server, you both are super sweet and made us feel so special. Thank you for accommodating us!! We felt like royalty with you around.

    To Jimmy the valet, thank you for helping me and my family. You went above and beyond. We so appreciate your hard work!!

    THANK YOU AGAIN TO THE ENTIRE MERION TEAM!

    Helpful from the very beginning!

    I couldn’t be more happier to choose the merion for my wedding venue. The second you walk in, it’s hard to not feel like “this is it.” Not only is the venue completely beautiful inside and out, the staff has been such a joy to reach out to, it was completely shocking when I found out it was in budget!

    Fairytale wedding at The Merion

    The Merion has made our dream wedding come true! We were supposed to get married in May 2020, but had to postpone due to COVID. Throughout the entire experience (including 3 postponements), they were so patient, kind, accommodating, and encouraging. Calli, our wedding coordinator, was so informative and flexible - she made sure we had everything we could have wanted. We (with our family and friends), had the most incredible ceremony in the garden, followed by a delicious cocktail hour (more food than I've ever seen before), and a reception. The Merion worked so well with us to make it super personal and welcoming. We could not have made a better choice with The Merion!! I would recommend it to everyone!!

    The Merion's reply:

    Congratulations, Amanda! It was amazing working with you and your families during this process!
    With Love, Calli and The Merion Team
