Picking our venue was never a question for us. My sister, Marissa, was married at The Brownstone and we were blown away by the food, the look, the attention to detail, and the outstanding service. My other sister, Dana, found herself back at The Brownstone for her perfect wedding. There was no need for us to search, as our past experiences with The Brownstone had been nothing short of perfection.
We were as excited to see Albert Manzo, the owner, again as he was to see us. The Brownstone truly treats you like family. We explained how we wanted a romantic Old World feel and Albert was just as enthused as we were. Every idea I shared was amplified even further with his creative touch. I knew our photographer would be in heaven with the beautiful photo opportunities, including the courtyards, the ivy, the ornate bar, the greenhouse room, and more. I was put in contact with Rose, my bridal attendant, long before the wedding day and she was an absolute dream to work with. Every member of the staff showed enthusiasm and took pleasure in executing all aspects of our event.
We had our ceremony while surrounded by friends and family. After taking photos, we went to the bridal suite where we were greeted by Rose and Gary, the bridal attendant and maître d’, both so professional and welcoming. A display of cocktail hour hors d’oeuvres was brought up to us along with an endless supply of their famous beefsteaks, a special request after the mouth-watering experience from my sisters’ weddings. We joined the cocktail hour in the Grand Conservatory and saw the elaborate Brownstone presentation and the elegant, dreamy atmosphere set by the gorgeous glass room. The fresh mozzarella and lobster station were crowd favorites, providing delicious food and entertainment.
