Great Gatsby's!

Well, we've decided where to hold our wedding reception! It will be at Gatsby's of Cresskill http://www.bergenbanquets.com/on April 13, 2007! I'm so excited! The place is really great. The food is fabulous - we went to a wedding there a few years ago and the filet mignon was like butter! You didn't even need a knife to cut it! We're going to have that and a couple of other choices.. We decided to go for a sit-down instead of a buffet.

What's so great about Gatsby's? Roses included on all the tables, valet parking, custom wedding cake - whatever you want!, ONE FUNCTION AT A TIME - this is huge, plenty of seating and FOOD during cocktail hour, choice of linens, and on and on and on. I have heard many fantastic reviews from people on www.theknot.com such as:

Ahh, Gatsby's...Bergen County's best kept secret.

It was fabulous! The food is honestly the best food I've ever had at a wedding...didn't seem mass produced. It was more like eating at a restaurant. Taz and Al were a joy to work with. Lefty, the part-owner and chef, is such a perfectionist and it shows. They handled every petty detail I brought their way with no problem. I don't have any complaints. The night was a dream come true and their price couldn't be beat (especially for the quality!). They had a gorgeous, GIANT centerpiece on the placecard table and flowers on each table in the cocktail hour room, which saved us some $$$...plus we went with the rose centerpieces included in the price per person, so we only had to pay for church flowers, bouquets and boutinnieres. Saved us a couple of thousand! I LOVED that there was enough seating for every person in the cocktail hour - big pet peeve of mine is going to a wedding and having to stand in a corner with my purse, camera, the card and my drink on the floor so I can stand and have a bite to eat. I HATE THAT! Lol. There is more than enough seating for each guest, so everyone can have a table seat and relax and enjoy their time there. I would definitely recommend them, in a heartbeat.

I LOVED Gatsby's! I am more than happy with my decision to have my wedding there. The food was amazing! And we absoultly loved the decor. It is hard to find a place that still does one wedding at a time and is as beautiful as gatsby's. Everyone there was so helpful and accomidating throughout our planning process. We couldnt have choose a better place to have our reception. It was perfect for us! another huge plus is the flowers that they include on each table in the ballroom and also fresh flowers all around the whole place. You cant beat that! We saved sooo much money by not having to use a florist for that, and the flowers were just as beautiful.
