The Royal Manor — Attraction in Garfield

We reached out to Royal Manor for a alumni charity ball to be held on December 03, 2022 with close to 300 people. From the moment we met Magda, we knew we had picked the right place for the event. Magda was professional, courteous, helpful, and went above and beyond to make sure that our event was an absolute success. No ask was too big or small and she was very flexible. Since we had relatively little experience planning an event of such a magnitude, Magda was instrumental in guiding us and making sure we made all the right choices. She was very patient with all our questions. The entire property is beautiful. ( and right across from the police station!) Plenty of parking - valet parking was included. The entrance is grand, clean and beautifully decorated from the entryway to the banquet hall to the cocktail area. Restrooms were beautifully appointed and kept clean throughout the event. The event space is expansive and beautifully designed. The chandeliers, mirrors, sparkling floors, give an air of fancy. The chandeliers change colors and give an additional lighting feature to the beat of the music. There is plenty of space for a dance floor, a band stand,and DJ. RM will provide generic standard color tablecloths and napkins There is also a special designated area for band or bridal party. The outside patio and water feature is beautiful for pictures and cocktails.

Food and Drink Guests were astounded by the choice of food for the cocktail hour, and many commented thinking that, that was the dinner. Passed hors d’oeuvres, were all delicious, thoughtful, and not the usual cocktail hour fare. They had live cooking stations as well. The Mexican station was a hit and the Charcuterie beautifully laid out and plentiful. We chose the open bar and attendees were given plenty of top shelf alcohol. Drinks had plenty of liquor in them. Bartenders were very happy to make a signature drink for the event. The staff were attentive, courteous, friendly, and very pleasant to be around. The chef clearly knows what he’s doing as the buffet, and all the food from the beginning to the end was creative and delicious. The only miss of the night was the chicken roulade which was dry. The lamb, salmon and meat and all entrees and carving stations were outstanding.

RM will work with you to find vendors should you need it. The staff was well prepared before the event, set up and clean up. Magda was very attentive throughout the event, if we had any questions or needed help with projectors and lighting. At no point did we feel rushed or ignored. The times when Magda was not around, other staff were always helpful as well. Pricing is fair and well worth for all that you get. If there is one thing that was not so great, its the location, which is in the middle of neighborhoods and not straightforward to get to off the highway. Thank you RM for making our event a memorable evening for...

My now husband and I went venue shopping for our wedding a month after our engagement in November 2021 and it was very overwhelming to say the least. The day we went to see the Royal Manor for the first time, we had seen about 3 other places the same day. We were quite tired to say the least. It must have been fate because we were about an hour early for our appointment and instead of meeting with whoever we were supposed to, we had the pleasure of touring the venue with the amazing Carmel. She did not push us to book The Royal Manor, she simply showed us the entire property and talked to us on a deeper level, understanding how overwhelming this process was for us. We felt so comfortable talking to Carmel. She went as far as telling us that it didn’t matter where we chose for our wedding venue but that our wedding day would be the best day of our lives no matter what. We immediately fell in love with the Royal Manor, but more importantly we felt like this venue was the perfect place for us because Carmel was not trying to sell the venue to us like the rest of the venues we saw. We came back two weeks later with both of our parents and Carmel went above and beyond. We got to try the food at the venue and tour it while they were preparing for another wedding. Once we officially booked The Royal Manor, Carmel told us that we could contact her at any time with questions or anything that we need. I must admit, I definitely abused that in the one year of planning our wedding, but Carmel was always so attentive and responsive to me and all my needs, as was the General Manager, Magda! A week before our wedding we came to see the venue with our event decorator and when I found out Carmel was scheduled off the day of our wedding, I insisted that she must be there as she played such a significant role in us booking this venue. Magda of course made Carmel come into work that day! They have been so wonderful to work with. When I decided last minute that I wanted my signature cocktail drink to be a lychee martini, something they don’t normally serve- Magda made sure she was able to get this for me last minute. Our wedding day was a dream come true. The Royal Manor went above and beyond. We received so many compliments from all our family and friends on how beautiful the venue is and how wonderful not only the cocktail hour was but how great dinner was! My husband and I are both Indian and most Indian weddings are at the Venetian or the Westmount, so this was something different for all of our guests and they were truly impressed and wouldn’t stop talking about how grand our wedding was. Not to mention they have a huge beautiful bridal suite, where all 26 of our bridesmaids and groomsmen fit and we had food from our cocktail hour served to us there.Thank you so much to the Royal Manor, Carmel, and Magda for help making our wedding day...

This review was so worth the wait! My husband and I celebrated our wedding reception at the Royal Manor on 1/19/2019 and it was the most magical experience! From the moment we walked in for our venue tour, we were absolutely captivated by the beautiful marble. Their ballroom has nearly no carpeting and, the little that they do have, isn't the loud and crazy carpeting that you're used to seeing in most other wedding venues. Carmel helped us seal the deal and she was a pleasure to work with. The owners were very fair in negotiating what would be included in our custom wedding package. We even enjoyed a great deal at the Royal Warsaw (by the same owners) for our rehearsal dinner. The ballroom is STUNNING and the sophisticated lighting system really set the tone for every special moment throughout the night. Unfortunately, since it's been a whole year since our wedding, I can't remember the name of my bridal attendant but she was fantastic! The person who really made the night was Magda, our Maitre D. Between the two of them, they made sure that we enjoyed our night completely carefree.

Now for the finer details. The food at the Royal Manor (and the Royal Warsaw) is AMAZING! Cocktail hour is an incredibly elaborate display! It literally looks like edible artwork! During dinner, they bring the bride and groom a medley plate that consists of all of the offerings of the night. One of my relatives has a shellfish allergy and we had selected the lobster ravioli as the appetizer. The staff at the Royal Manor made sure that he was brought an allergen free appetizer. Our guests could not stop raving about the food.

Furthermore, the staff at the Royal Manor did an amazing job setting up all of the decorations that I brought. Since the cardholders that I made were larger than usual, they weren't able to put them on the table in the entryway, like they normally do so they had to improvise. They placed them and the mirror I made in the back of the lobby and it just looked stunning. Not only that, but the custom cake topper that I had made was pretty hideous. It was really hard to make out that it was the letter R. I'm not sure who did it but they bent the wire cake topper in such a beautiful way that, when I saw it on the cake, I absolutely fell in love with the cake topper that I had hated the day before! Lastly, they take the time to pack up all of the table decor and other personal decorations at the end of the night so that you don't have to worry about anything!

If you want to have a spectacular wedding and enjoy a completely carefree night, go to the Royal Manor. They are true professionals at what they do. I couldn't have had a more perfect night. They are...
