Halo Private Parties — Attraction in Rutherford

I hosted my husband’s surprise 40th birthday party at Halo Lounge, and I can't say enough about how incredible the entire experience was! From start to finish, everything was seamless, stress-free, and exceeded all expectations.

Sal, the owner, was an absolute pleasure to work with—very responsive, friendly, truly accommodating, and so easy to work with. From our first meeting, he walked me through every detail, making the planning process effortless. He stayed in touch throughout, answered all my questions, and ensured everything was set up exactly as I envisioned.

The venue itself is next-level! It has a cool nightclub vibe (can easily transform the space to fit your event type), with a state-of-the-art sound system, an incredible light show, and a massive 32-foot bar that was a huge hit with our guests. The flexible seating and table setups let us customize the space exactly how we desired. Super easy parking.

What really sets Halo apart is how much they offer to simplify event planning. We booked their Starlite DJ, and he was phenomenal—playing all our favorite songs while seamlessly mixing in his own picks to match the crowd’s energy. He kept the vibe high all night and was amazing on the mic! They also offer catering services, backdrops, photo booths, décor add-ons, and much more, making the entire process so much easier!

And let’s talk about the Halo team—absolutely amazing! Our two bartenders were pros, serving up fantastic drinks and handling our crowd of 60 effortlessly. Huge shoutout to Julio—the true MVP of the night! From setup to the very end, he made sure everything ran smoothly, handled any requests with patience and a positive attitude, and went above and beyond to help. Julio, you are the best!

My husband had an unforgettable night, and our guests haven’t stopped raving about how fun the party was and how unique the venue is. If you’re looking for the perfect place to host an incredible event, Halo Lounge is the place! We will definitely be hosting future events at Halo and recommending it to our friends and family. Highly, highly recommend! Thank...

I cannot recommend Halo Lounge enough. Sal was an absolute dream to work with. From the day we signed the contract until the day of my event, he was available for any questions I had — and I had many! The day that I paid my balance, he advised I purchase an adapter to ensure that my laptop would connect to his TV for the slideshow, and to come in a few days ahead so that we didn’t run into any issues on the day of the event. I wrongly assumed it would be fine, and he told me to come in and try it out anyway. Thank God I did because it didn’t work! (He even FaceTimed a friend to walk me through it!) The next day, he went in on his day off so we could try something else — Airplay worked! — which I really, really appreciated.

The spot itself is incredible, and provided a great atmosphere for my party. I decorated according to my theme, but the room itself is nice enough to just roll in and host a party. Between the bar, the VIP lounge, the lobby (where the Photo Booth was) and the overall room, it was the perfect space for my 70 guests. I had so many guests tell me they were glad I had my event there so they could keep it in mind for their future events.

I also want to give a huge shoutout to Joey, who oversaw my event last night. He was so helpful all night, assisting in setting up, cutting the cake and cleaning up.

Highly recommend Halo for your...

I had my 50th birthday party at Halo in November. I had the time of my life!!! It's a fantastic space! You can decorate and set it up however you want. I had 70 guests and it fit everyone really well. Julio, the manager, was magic. He really organized the flow of my party from start to finish. He helped with displaying my pictures in a slideshow format on all the TVs. I didn't have to worry or think about anything the entire night thanks to Julio. And Jozay, the DJ, was pure talent. I asked for all 80s music and he delivered. My friends were loving the song selections and there were always people dancing! It was non-stop fun. Also, the lighting is incredible with the music thanks to Jozay! And Megan, the bartender, made me a signature drink for the night that I loved! She was friendly and wonderful. For the food I chose appetizers this way guests can do more mingling and dancing. But there are enough tables for everyone to sit down and still a big enough space to dance. And Sal was great to work with pre-party answering all my questions and suggesting an outstanding bakery that my friends are still talking about! During my party, friends kept mentioning to me how much they loved the venue. They said it was like having your own nightclub for the night. It was really an evening I did not want to end. A real dream come true!...
