Torn between two nj venues

Alexandra , on July 23, 2018 at 6:39 PM Posted in New Jersey Planning 0 9

Hi Everyone!

After searching all over, we've narrowed the venues down to two places in central Jersey: the Addison Park and Grand Marquis. We've made pros and cons lists but still on the fence. Are any of you NJ brides getting married at one of these venues? Or have you attended a wedding at either one? We both come from big Italian families so I'm mostly concerned about the quality and quantity of food for cocktail hour and reception. Any feedback and additional info you might have would be very much appreciated!

If you looked at either of these venues and ended up choosing another place, where did you end up booking, and how did you decide?

Thank you!!

    Hi Alexandra! Welcome to the WeddingWire Community! Smiley ring I think you should check out the reviews for each venue to see if that helps you make your decision:

    - Addison Park Reviews

    - Grand Marquis Reviews

    I work with a a gentleman who has been to the Grand. He raved about their food. I looked into them as well but they are a little too far for me so we kept it close to home. I have to say however I absolutely love the look of Addison. I read a review on Google about the grand after I inquired about them and it turned me off completely.

    Hi! I ended up booking at the Grand Marquis! That Dome Room definitely won me over! I read mixed reviews of Addison Park on other sites but the Grand Marquis reviews were consistently great! Booked GM for 10/6/19!!

    When i was looking i also inquired about the grand marquis and looking to book for a weedkday off peak season. I was quoted 115 (including taxes) but if you wanted the Viennesse desert table it was $10 extra pp. Not knowing the merion was a sister property we ultimately booked there. You get soooo much at the Merion!

    I went to Addison Park yesterday....beautiful BUT the mixed reviews coupled with the price I’m sticking with The Merion!!! The only thing is there are no good hotels in the area so the bridal party and I will stay in Philadelphia and take the party shuttle to the venue!

    Great choice! I’m actually at The Merion as well and just started looked at hotel rooms for the room blocks. We are going to have children so I’m looking at hotel ML since it has a water park inside for them to enjoy
