The entire staff, from the front end (Edyta) to the back end (Nicoletta), are absolutely amazing and are the best people to have when choosing this venue for any special event; in my case, my wedding. I talk about the people, the food and everything in between to friends and family and I couldn't recommend this venue enough. Thank you so much for making our special day everything and more. You guys are the best, and I couldn't have asked for a better place or team to make our day absolutely perfect.

If you have not inquired about a wedding here, I am not sure what you are waiting for. From start to finish Ariana's has been incredible to work with. The facility is beautiful, every employee treats you well, and the food is UNBELIEVABLE! After our first tour, my in laws wanted to try the food. Many places wouldn't give us a tasting until we booked bc of COVID. Ariana's scheduled a date with us and let us taste the most popular choices.

The funny part was we would have chosen the basic chicken, steak, fish but the tasting was their specialty and it was out of this world! Before the wedding I was worried if the food was made in bulk it wouldn't taste as good but boy did they prove me WRONG! Our guests cannot stop talking about the food. Not just the cocktail hour but the main course AND the deserts.

The food and service at Arianas is UNMATCHED! Edyta is absolutely a pleasure to work with. She answered every single question (there were at least 500 questions) and was patient with me the entire time. Nicoletta our bridal attendant waited on us hand and foot. She helped with every single detail and made sure to ask if we were happy with everything. If you are looking to get married or plan any event, I highly recommend Arianas. I could not say enough good things about Ariana's!

Nice venue for weddings. Love the outdoor space for ceremony. They have 2 rooms for events. Both rooms are gorgeous. Just watch out for the bread. there was mold on ours. Other than that, it's a great place.

I paid a full event and with the pandemic everything closed and the event was canceled. We didn't canceled the state of NJ closed everything. they don't want to refund my money back, I suggest them to keep the deposit and refund the rest of the money they refuse to refund.

Beautiful venue was there for a sweet 16. Cocktail hour food and drinks were very good. The buffet standouts were the chicken and the salmon, the salads and the perfectly tasting portuguese rolls were all great. Would definitely recommend for any type of party or special occasion.

Ariana's has completely surpassed my expectations! The vision became reality and more. From the service, to food to the staff every aspect was incredible! I can't thank the maitre d' enough! She was phenomenal, so attentive, and always able to be in contact with any needs or concerns! I can't wait to book my next event! Thank you again Ariana's for last night it's a memory we will never forget! thanks for all your hospitality!

Horrible communication. I scheduled my tour with them after liking the venue online and I have heard good reviews about their food. We were so excited to have our anniversary party there. I provided my event date AND YEAR over the phone, and headed over. I live in New York, so I drove an hour with my wife to Woodbridge. Not only was the event planner not there, but she never called the number I provided to cancel. Distasteful.

They claimed she had another appointment to go to instead. I was not given a tour and was told to come back another time. We were there for five minutes. After emailing the event planner, Edyta, she said she called me (so I checked my phone, no missed calls), and then said that they aren't even booking for 2024 yet. A total waste of time and energy.

Being born and raised in New Jersey, I know that there are more beautiful venues with better staff. It'll be worth saving more for better service. Don't waste your time like I did.

Damian and I had our wedding there this past Saturday, 9/25, 2021. We could not have asked for a better experience. Edyta, helped us from day one to make sure that we had the day we had always dreamt of. She always made herself available and answered my questions with excellence. The staff and help were all on top of their game, never a line for the bar, plates always cleared.

We had the BEST time, we partied our lives away, everything went to smoothly and the food was impeccable. I can't wait to host future events there. It was a pleasure to work with everyone.

I'll give one star for the venue looking amazing. Everything was beautiful until I got to my car and noticed their valet guys stole my cash from my wallet. So much for leaving a tip! They took it themselves. Not only that, I still have not received so much as a sorry from this sorry ass business. I left messages and sent emails. A few days later and there were 'unusual charges' on my credit card accounts. I'll never recommend this place due to the owner's carelessness & inability to deal with the situation at hand the day it happened.

We just had our wedding at Ariana's on 6/13 and it was so beautiful, so stunning, and so much fun I wish I could do it again and again. Lol.but what truly made the day go as seamlessly as it did for me was without question Nikoleta, she is probably the most kind, attentive, & genuinely nicest person I've ever met in a service position. She helped me so much throughout the night, I don't know what I would've done without her.

Thank you isn't enough for the kindness she showed me on my wedding day, I'm forever grateful. Everyone who worked there was brilliant, you guys had my night go seamlessly, I don't have a single complaint. I had a wedding dreams are made of. I'm still on cloud 9.

I would like to first start off with Ms. Dominirose. She is amazing and down to earth. She has no problem answering your questions and breaking everything down to you. She is always on call whenever you need her. I stopped by the venue a few days before my ceremony to bring Dominirose everything I wanted set up for my big day and I was not disappointed.

Everything was taken care of and I didn't have to do anything. Next, the decorator MJ Events that she recommended, who also decorates the venue is amazing. They work with you and bring your ideas to life. My centerpieces and backdrop was stunning. You will not be disenchanted. The bridal attendant Nicolette is incredible. She is so attentive, makes sure you always have a drink, food waiting for you at your table and your needs are taken care of.

I kept saying I was hot, and she lowered the temperature at the venue even though everyone else was cold. I complimented the shrimp tempura which by the way is delicious and she made sure to bring me extra. I would definitely recommend this venue and these wonderful ladies who helped made my wedding day amazing. I cannot forget the amazing food. I was a little nervous that there is no food tasting but they did not disappoint.

I decided to go with buffet style and there was food for days. Everything was seasoned welled and on point. Some of my guest are still talking about the delicious food that was served. I would definitely come back to Ariana Grand for future events.

Went here for a Friday night event. First, it was rather uncomfortably warm the entire evening. No idea why they couldn't lower the temperature. Most people said they were hot. Our assigned table was missing 1 chair and place setting. Took me to ask 2 employees before we finally got it. The food was average at best. Not bad quality, but absolutely tasteless. Also, by the time the buffet line was winding down, there was no salad left, and it never got replenished.

The dessert cake was also blah. The bar only had bud and bud light beers - really? A VFW hall would have more selection. While the place looks nice, it is a disaster for sound/acoustics. There is so much tile everywhere that everything just echoed horribly. When the DJ or a guest was on the mic, it was extremely difficult to decipher what anyone was saying. All in all, the place served its purpose. I would definitely look elsewhere for booking options though.

I went to Ariana's Grand in Woodbridge for a Sweet 16?quote. The place is beautiful! I was seen by a female with long black hair(I will not include her name). She spoke really quickly, adding on things that i did not have time to consider, she also kept saying over and over, "We can get more money for the hall from just our weddings alone on a Saturday".

So for 100 people on a Saturday in I was quoted $11,0000 for this Sweet 16! oh and they could get even more if "It was a wedding". I left upset because it is beautiful but you have to have dough, 100 adult requirement! yea a family own biz but not for the little people who would love it, my budget was $3000 just for the hall and catering, its a Sweet 16, not a wedding. so fast sales, no negoitations and insults because they can get more from a wedding. Its a shame, the place was beautiful.

WOW! My wife and I cant even begin to put into words how amazing Ariana's Grand was to us. We got married last month and had been planning our wedding for three years before that. When we went to go see the venue we loved it at first site. The staff was very friendly and opened to whatever we wanted. The day of our wedding was perfect. We needed my truck for our first look and when we got to the venue I had bird poop all over the side of my truck and because it was going to be in pictures the venue didn't hesitate and cleaned it right away.

After that their we're right by our sides the whole time making sure everything was ok. Our guests couldn't be happier when it came to the service they received during the cocktail and dinner. From start to finish our bridal attendants we're spot on with every need we had and made the night smooth and easy. I would highly recommend having any kind of event here.

My neice had her wedding here and it was BEAUTIFUL! Talk about the gorgeous venue. The service was excellent, the people seems very happy to make my neice's day memorable. I recommend anyone having a wedding to consider this venue because it was worth it. The food was so delicious and fresh. Thank you for making it a great day!

My Husband's Family had his grandmother's 80th Birthday party here this past August. It was absolutely beautiful, the food was delicious and the staff was amazing. There was a wedding going on in another room and you would never have known it. Due to what a wonderful time we had and how lovely the owner and staff was My Husband and I will be renewing our vows in November and having our reception at Ariana's (as we did not have a reception the first time around) Dom has been so very sweet throughout my entire planning process helping me by answering all of my questions in a timely fashion and even making suggestions as to where I can get some of the things I need such as Cake, Flowers, etc. The Rooms here are GORGEOUS as are both of the bridal suites. I am really looking forward to having my wedding here.

We went here for a wedding The DJ was good and of course the bride who was beautiful However; 1. The men's and women's bathroom was disgusting 2. The sherbet was put on the tables when everyone was outside for the fireworks. When we came back it was melted then removed from the table 3. No one got any wedding cake even if we wanted it - it wasn't put on any table 4.

The food was 2 out of 5. The steak was over cooked 5. The water jugs were always empty and we had to constantly ask to be refilled or go to the bar for a cup of waster 6. Had to park our own car - not valet. So we saved money on the tip 7. Any glasses that were dirty or not being used weren't picked up till the end 8. The music was so loud which is okay but not during the times when we wanted to eat.

No down time with soft music - felt rushed to eat. One person didn't get their dinner until we said something 9. The appetizers were great and was the desserts. Overall the place was disappointing- we had fun cause we were with family

Received a phone call from Thomas (said he is the owner) Said that my delivery did not reach my grandmothers' cousin because they HAD TOO MANY PARTIES. There was no apologies, only excuses for his staff. He defended Theresa's nasty demeanor and the fact she hung the phone up was disregarded. To add insult to injury HE BEGAN CURSING- CALLING ME AN F' BITCH.

Numerous times which I have recorded. He is beyond disgusting and to call himself the owner should make anyone investing their money in an important event to be cautious. Anyone in business knows customer service is a number one! Shame on you for speaking to a woman the way you did! To date my grandmothers cousin has not received her gift. I would never drop a dime in a place like this!

Dishonest people. Take your party and money elsewhere. They will act like your best friend and royally ruin your event.

My nephew was scheduled to have his wedding reception this past weekend. However, he passed away unexpectedly 5 days before. Not only did this establishment work with my sister-law with the financial aspect of the reception planning but delivered trays of delicious food the night of the viewing. Class act. I would have an event here without hesitation. Thank you for your compassion during this difficult week. Well done!

My visit to this reception hall was for my friend Ruba's wedding. It is set in the middle of Woodbridge easily accessible by the myriad of thoroughfares nearby. The place is not the biggest venue I have ever been to but in terms of ambiance and decorations they do a superb job. The cocktail hour had the usual selection of delectable treats and the dinner did not disappoint.

That perfectly cooked beef in front of me was so delicious I almost licked the entire plate clean. Coupled with the fact that the bartender was serving up drinks and was not shy with the alcohol and you know this was a hearty party. My favorite part of the venue is the way their grand ballroom can change color to match the next set of events for the wedding.

The white tile floor, white walls, and crystal chandelier magically change color to yellow, red, and blue. I thought this was unique. For the bride and groom's entrance it was white all around. Then blue ruled the scene as they took their first dance (coupled with the quintessential smoke machine to create a Disney-esque environment). Yellow was the next color which got everyone dancing and getting down. Finally the whole room turned red for the exotic dance of the belly dancer. Overall a very fun and memorable time with friends and coworkers alike at Ariana's.

The food was incredible. We came here for a Christening Sunday night. They had passed appetizers and an appetizer station. It was great. The salad was amazing. it had nuts and dried fruit in it. Best dressing I have had in a long time. The penne vodka was the best. It is served table side and the portions were good. i had the fish choice for dinner.

It was good but it was honestly a little cold. We loved the place. I am not a fan on the uplightening b/c it makes the pictures look whatever color the host chose. In this case it was pink. The place was beautiful though and we enjoyed the party as well as the food/music.

My Wedding took place at Ariana's Grand on November 1, 2014. I can't even put into words how unbelievably amazing my experience was. My first appointment they immediatly made me feel like a part of their family. From the breathtaking decor to the most incredible food I have ever tasted in my life everything about Ariana's Grand was perfection.

After losing my Dad earlier this year Joe, Frank and the Ariana's grand family went above and beyond to make sure My Wedding Day was so absolutly perfect. My wedding was unbelievable and I can't thank them enough. My guests are still calling to tell me "That was the best wedding they have ever been to".

I came here for a college friend's wedding and thought the space was fantastic. I like the fact that the facility could only hold one event at a time instead of usual halls.several going on at once. Excuse me excuse me, is this Danielle's wedding? Nope.none of that! The wedding ceremony took place outside which was decorated beautifully.

Upon entering we were offered champagne and then went to our seats. Notice I did not use the word escorted.that definitely was a miss but it wasn't a big deal. The outside had lounge chairs and gave off a Miami atmosphere. After the ceremony we went into an indoor space where we had cocktail hour. The food was good and the cosmo punch was everything!

Now it was time to move into the reception space and it was mystical. The food was pretty good as well. There was a live event painter that drew the first dance on the spot, which was pretty cool! We all danced the day away (morning wedding) to the dj tunes and the live band. All in all I believe it is an amazing place to host a wedding, however this is my experience as a guest not the bride.

I probably wouldn't have my wedding there Only because I hate driving to Jersey! I sat in traffic 2hrs there and back.a total of 4 hours! But it was totally worth it. Congrats Mr. and Mrs. Holly!
