Reviews We Love

  • I cannot say enough good things about this venue. The food was amazing, and everyone was raving about it! Sterling Ballroom served as a one stop shop for us – the hotel, getting ready (bridal suite + presidential suite *which by the way is humongous and gorgeous and where we slept Friday and Friday night*), ceremony (both outdoor and indoor options, which btw our outdoor ceremony got rained out 30 min before ceremony and they made a game time decision to frantically set up the indoor ceremony space for us so beautifully and it was perfect!) cocktail hour, reception and after party in the lounge plus breakfast the next morning. All our guests loved the venue so much and found it to be super convenient that everyone was in one place. They recently renovated the hotel and it is gorgeous and whimsical. From the hotel to catering staff, everyone was so helpful and easy to work with start to finish. I highly, highly recommend Sterling Ballroom!!

  • Our wedding at the Sterling Ballroom was nothing but amazing. From the moment I went in to book until the day after I was blow away by how smooth and easy everything was. Allison is beyond incredible. I wish I had to plan my wedding all over again, because it was such an awesome experience. I did not feel stressed at all. An extra perk was having the hotel attached to the venue where we were able to continue the party at the bar for a little then enjoy a nice breakfast in the morning! I could not have asked for a better experience and I cannot even stop thinking about our favorite day!

  • The entire staff at the Sterling Ballroom and DoubleTree by Hilton could not have been more accommodating. They took away so much of our stress during the planning stages for our event and Nemo made it all come together for our special day. They did an amazing job, and I highly recommend them for any event.

    — Sheryl, Marlboro, NJ
  • Everything was flawless and perfectly executed. The staff here is SO beyond helpful and accommodating. They really went above and beyond to make our day as perfect as it was!

    — Tonian + Mark, Ocean, NJ
  • We could not have possibly asked for a better experience of a lifetime! Our guests have been raving nonstop about every little thing! Thank you for memories to last a lifetime!
