“A Night to Remember “

Tom: Stephanie and I met in high school. We’ve been together ever since our first date at her favorite pizzeria. About 10 years later, we made it official!

Stephanie: We go on a family vacation every year to Wildwood and Tom’s family had started joining us. We were at my favorite place in the world, when he proposed while on a walk on the beach. Both our families were there, and it was absolutely beautiful.

Tom: We’ve been to events at Nanina’s in the Park, and they are always a night to remember. We knew the atmosphere, the food, and the staff would blow our guests away. When we spoke with Julian Reyes, the general manager, we knew we would be taken care of. They laid out everything they could do for us, were incredibly welcoming, and are undoubtedly the best option around!

Stephanie: After we’d booked, the folks at Nanina’s continued to be awesome. Everyone was helpful throughout the planning process and offered great recommendations. They took the weight off our shoulders and simplified things for us to think about, to figure out what we really wanted. They treated us as if our day was the most important thing to them, and made us feel like nothing but our happiness mattered.

Tom: Our day with Nanina’s started at cocktail hour. Our ceremony was at the same church where Stephanie’s parents, as well as my grandparents, were married nearby. Cocktail hour had absolutely everything we could think of and the quality was second to none. We loved the whole rack of lamb and the raw bar with lobster!

Stephanie: Our reception in the ballroom was gorgeous. The ballroom is designed so that everyone in the room is able to see the dance floor. This was perfect for those who wanted to sit and relax but not miss anything!

Tom: Following a champagne toast, dinner began with a tri-color salad. Entrée options were chateaubriand, shrimp Naninas, eggplant parmesan, and chicken saltimbocca. Each was paired with skewered potatoes and bundled vegetables. They were all delicious, and I know because Nanina’s gave me all four!

Stephanie: Dessert was plentiful, with pastries, homemade cookies and mousses, a chocolate fountain, bananas foster station, and more. We requested a waffle station, gelato station, and zeppelin station to really give our guests anything their heart desired!

Stephanie & Tom: We’d like to thank our parents, our bridal party, and everyone at the venue for making our wedding spectacular. Thank you to the Maurillos, who own Nanina’s in the Park and have created a wonderful venue, thank you to Vicky Landoli, our maître d’; Liz Simonski, the receptionist; Julian, and everyone else at Nanina’s who helped us all along and ran the day-of perfectly.
