The Boulevard - Event Space, Event Venue, Party Venue, Wedding Venue in New Jersey

The Boulevard First and foremost I'm not the type to write reviews but In this case it was necessary. When I first looked at this place for a potential wedding venue I thought it was renovated nicely and very spacious. When my husband and I decided to make a deposit we signed a contract with some guy named Edwin. Everything seemed to be going well until he was no longer working with the company. I was not aware of this until I called a few months later to arrange a payment. I find out there was new management. I was a little annoyed that no one sent an email in regards to this change/issue to let me know I would be working with someone else. Now this is where it gets interesting. I get a call from this woman named Melissa who is the event planner for the establishment with no experience in weddings what so ever and tells me she will be working with me, I said ok no problem let's set up an appointment to meet to go over everything and make a payment she agreed. The day comes and I send her a message at 10am to confirm our 12pm appointment and I get no response until 3pm saying that she couldn't make the appointment happen. I'm already upset because that is unprofessional and unacceptable. So we rescheduled. The day comes where we finally meet and she does not have anything prepared. My contract is not on her desk she was annoyed, had an attitude. She looked like she hated her job. I told her my concerns and all and she said she would take care of it. The months leading up to the wedding we're a disaster. She didn't know how to coordinate or arrange anything. She was the rudest person in that establishment. My husband and I paid $15,000 and she gave us a hard time right up to the day of the wedding.The food was absolutely awful, disgusting, not fresh but frozen. The crab cakes taste fishy and salty. The pigs on a blanket were frozen from a bag. The drinks were good but served in plastic cups. The service besides the bartenders and Sonia were awful. They did not know anything of what was going on. I had multiple of our guests asks the service staff some questions and they were oblivious and said they didn't know. Overall this was the worst venue. I will never do an event there again. for my wedding and honestly if it was not for SONIA who was the best person ever I would have had a nervous breakdown. I'm sad, dissatisfied, disappointed, that they would have a person with no experience handle a wedding and get paid for it at that. Please follow your gut and if you see red flags act on them. I don't recommend this place to anyone.

Very nice catering hall. The lighting accentuates the hall. The bar is spacious and the staff is very courteous and helpful.

The boulevard hall is definitely an inexquisite place to have any type of event and the staff are super professional and work hard to make sure your event goes smoothly as possible, as for the food it was so delicious no complaints from our guests we all enjoyed it, nothing but praise. Thanks for helping us share our special moment.

We are very happy and grateful that we were able to have our Amber's Wedding this past Saturday at The Boulevard. Edwin and his staff were awesome and they were totally helpful. I couldn't asked for a better location and helpful staff. They made my daughters wedding day a dream come true. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

We were very happy to have celebrated our daughter’s Sweet 16 this May 2021 at The Boulevard. We had the Hudson Room and even though we didn’t have a party Planner or decorator and did all our own decorating and the staff was very accommodating with all our needs. They even gave us a hand when they could and went above & beyond. They are friendly, professional, and the place is very clean and organized. I’ve used other venues but this is one I would definitely use again and would highly recommend it. Thank you so much Edwin and Patrick for making my daughter’s day so special and fun!

Impressed by the renovations done to this venue!!! It is unrecognizable, in a good way !! Great job to the new owners!!

If you want an extremely intimate and responsive experience planning your event, I honestly think nothing compares to The Boulevard. I worked 99% with Louisa on this event and I know it was primarily such a success because she went above and beyond to help us out with each step of the way. From start to finish, they were extremely patient, informative and work with you on pricing, the small details and making sure every possible part of the night can be figured out ahead of time. Hence, there's as minimal stress as possible with events of this size (we had a college formal for 150 people). They are very generous with food, drinks and adding extra touches that we hadn't even expected or asked for in the contract. I was blown away with how everything was ready weeks ahead of time and Louisa asked for my permission before making a change of any size. She also texted me several days before the event was planned to showcase how beautiful the venue was prepped (attached photos of how great the tables and dance floor looked), and also provided diagrams and seating information so we had an idea of the space when it was filled up. I didn't have to ask for them to dim the lights when the dance floor got packed, didn't have to ask what times we're distributing food and drinks, and didn't have to run around to get my questions answered or any concerns addressed. For the size of the venue, the service provided, and overall experience (they charge a slightly higher service charge because they know they are the best when it comes to servicing the client just fyi), the fee is a joke compared to how much help, insight and decorations you get for your buck. It's newly renovated, and a different area then people expect for venues of this size, which is why I feel a lot of people haven't realized it is an option since it's so new and under different management. But I wouldn't let it faze you for a second because this is bar none the best event you can have for the price and help given. I was told by several people that this is the best dance they've attended and I am confident I'll be back for any future events I coordinate. Truly a hidden gem of Hudson Country and if you get Louisa, get ready for the easiest event planning you'll ever experience!

1st event I attended for my cousins Memorial, great setting and Professional service. Definitely would recommend this venue's. We had the large room which wa ideal for my family's need.
