My wife and I got married last year 3/29/19. Going into our wedding planning process we did not know what to expect – yes, we did our research on all of the websites out there but still weren’t sure how our process would be. We had it in our minds that we did not want a big, extravagant wedding because we would much rather save the money to put towards buying a home. We listened to family and friends and signed up to go to a wedding showcase to enjoy the whole wedding planning experience and hopefully find some great vendors. The very first wedding showcase that we went to and the very first venue that we saw was in October 2018 at Cosmopolitan. When we first walked in, we were immediately blown away at how beautiful the venue is. We thought to ourselves – we will never be able to afford this with our budget. We were very wrong. That night along with many amazing vendors that we met (found our DJ at the showcase as well) we met the owners of Cosmopolitan, Scott and Eileen. From the very first interactions they were WONDERFUL. We spoke to them and were upfront about budget being our number 1 priority and that we were hoping to plan to have the wedding sometime before April 2019. Scott and Eileen showed us around and we went downstairs into the smallest of their 3 rooms which was still as stunning as the larger rooms upstairs. We sat and talked for almost 2 hours after the event was over. Scott and Eileen went over many details on different ways we would be able to save money, not lose any quality of services (open bar is always top shelf is something Scott assured us of), and still have a beautiful wedding. As stressful as we thought it would be, Scott and Eileen were such friendly and down to earth people that helped put our minds at ease. Over the next week or two my wife and I visited a few more venues around the North Jersey area – none came close to not only the wow factor that we experienced at Cosmopolitan, but the level of customer service Scott and Eileen showed us. We called up Cosmopolitan on a random night after work and went that night to meet Scott and Eileen. We planned and booked Cosmopolitan as our venue that same night and well within our budget! My wife is Colombian and I’m Italian and for the wedding we wanted to find ways to blend the cultures and our families. Scott and Eileen knew this through our initial discussion – having this in mind Scott was able to give us pernil and paella as two of our selections in our happy hour which normally wouldn’t have been options. We felt this was a very nice gesture and we appreciated his ability to help us blend the cultures in whatever ways possible. The months leading up to our wedding Scott and Eileen were there whenever we needed them for any questions or concerns. The night before our wedding we received a call from them and were informed that we were the only event at the venue the day of wedding. We originally had booked the downstairs room because we felt it was more intimate with our wedding size – 60 people – but they offered to move us into one of the upstairs rooms free of charge and assured us that the layout would still work perfectly for us which it did. Our wedding turned out to be absolutely beautiful, the food was spectacular, and the service was amazing. Scott and Eileen were there the whole night checking on us periodically in addition to our bridal attendant to make sure we were happy and not in need of anything. All our guests were BLOWN AWAY with how gorgeous and stunning Cosmopolitan is. We are so unbelievably happy with our experience at Cosmopolitan and cannot imagine having had our wedding anywhere else. Thank You SO much Scott, Eileen, and all your staff at...
Read moreThis is my experience as a guest at a wedding. My friend had her wedding here in May, just when everything opened up again. Immediately walking in, the inside was alluding. The mirrored walls in the halls felt like a fairytale. The first floor had different different rooms. A small room for a small gathering, medium size room, and the large ballroom where my friend had her wedding. My friend had her ceremony outside which was nicely decorated. It was simple but elegant. After the ceremony, we went inside for the cocktail hour. They had everything that could meet anyone's dietary needs. So many options. It was spread out so there were no long lines. Dinner time is where this place lose a star. After cocktail, the staffs went around each table and asked people which meal they wanted (chicken, beef, or veggie). I asked for the beef dish. The staff wrote everyone's order on a notepad. Past weddings I've been to, the staff usually place a color-coded or name tent of the food a person ordered in front of the guest, so that way when the food comes out, they know who ordered what. Unfortunately the venue utilizing the notepad was not a good idea. There was so much confusion at my table of who ordered what. I was given chicken, and had to correct the staff. And because it took so long between taking out order and bringing out the food, some guests were playing musical table (going to other tables to chit-chat with other guests). Which I don't blame them because after cocktail, dinner was serve 2.5 hours later at 9:45pm. Wedding started at 5pm. Other than that, everything else ran smoothly. The bartender was friendly. The staffs were great. The food was good. The space...
Read moreA week ago today, my family celebrated my daughter, Olivia-Kai’s Sweet 16. Nearly a year ago, my wife and I set out to find the perfect venue to host the party. After visiting several other locations, we scheduled an initial meeting with Eileen. The venue itself is beautiful, but what really sold us was Eileen. She walked us through the process and answered our numerous questions. Eileen’s presentation was flawless and professional. We instantly knew we had to book at the Cosmopolitan. Throughout the year, we met with Eileen on several occasions. Each time, she was kind and helpful. We had nearly 100 guests attend the celebration, many of whom traveled from other states. Each guest (especially the teenagers) raved about the venue and the accommodation. It is with great appreciation that Sandra and I extend a heartfelt thank you to Eileen, Scott, and Bill. Although Olivia was the star on our special evening, Cosmopolitan deserves a warm round of applause for creating such a magical evening that surely won’t be forgotten...
