Kelly D. Married on 09/10/2022Booking our wedding at the Crystal Plaza was the best decision we ever made!
Booking our wedding at the Crystal Plaza was the best decision we ever made! From the moment we first walked in the door, we were greeted by Max Janoff like we were family - we immediately felt right at home and knew that we had just found our dream venue. By the time we first toured Crystal Plaza, we had already toured quite a few venues (8+) but Crystal Plaza was unlike anything we had seen at the other venues in North Jersey.
The venue itself is absolutely stunning. From the chandeliers, to the cocktail hour space, to the ballroom, to the gardens, to the atrium, to the penthouse bridal suite, to the groomsmen’s vault - every space is beyond gorgeous and distinctly unique. However, what stood out even more to me was the incredible service and staff.
Truthfully, the decision was easy (as it should be)!
Leading up to the big day, Max and his team were very responsive via email (which was so important to us). Their answers to our questions were always helpful and honest. We were so confident that Max and his team would perfectly execute our dream day because they were so detail-oriented and provided us with great feedback based on their personal experiences.
After the wedding, we asked many of our guests - what are the top things that stood out? The answers were pretty consistent - the service, the food, and Max. These are the best answers that we could hope for. We have had MULTIPLE guests tell us this was one of the best weddings they’ve ever attended.
Our wedding day at the Crystal Plaza was one of the best days of our lives, and it’s all thanks to Max and his team. Do yourself a favor and book asap!!-

Madison S. Getting married on 04/21/2024Best night of my life
If I could give this venue 100 stars, I would. I don't even know where to begin other than... PERFECTION. Pure perfection. From the moment I got to the crystal plaza the morning of the wedding, I felt ease. Everything was taken care of and I have never seen a machine run smoother in my life. They have an answer for EVERYTHING. I at one point looked at my brides attendant and needed a tooth brush, 2 minutes later I had one. Chloe was my hero all night.
This is just one example of the level of service... Another example is Ryan, the Maitre D. Ryan is the wedding coordinator VIP. He made our entire day/night flow with NO HICCUPS- ZERO. Who else can confidently say nothing went wrong at their wedding?! At one point in the reception someone noticed my earring was missing, and sure enough Ryan found it in .2 seconds. This is just what the staff at crystal plaza does, they do it all!!!!
Max Janoff was our planner- he truly outdid himself. We told him our vision, and from there he took care of the rest. His recommended vendors were absolutely in sync with everything we had hoped for in our day and more. Everything over exceeded our expectations, from the lighting, to the cocktail hour, to the band, the florals, the table set up... you name it he made sure it flowed. He knew what details were needed and where and left no stone un-turned.
Leaving crystal plaza the night of my wedding was heartbreaking and I will forever be grateful to them for giving me and my husband the best night of our lives.
For you upcoming brides... there is no other place.
If you are looking for the best wedding venue around with unmatched staff, then book at crystal plaza.
