On WeddingWire since 2011

The Nassau Inn is a hotel with a banquet hall and restaurant for couples looking to get married in the Central New Jersey area. This classic venue features all the elegant sophistication of a historic building, with the nearly tangible romance of another era. Couples can find this charming wedding venue in Princeton, New Jersey. Versatile settings, custom-tailored planning, catering, and gracious hospitality blend seamlessly, ensuring that everything is perfect.

Facilities and Capacity
Couples can celebrate their wedding day with up to 200 attendees. There are indoor and outdoor options at this venue for a couple’s wedding. The patio is a lovely space for a ceremony during warmer seasons. Upon this courtyard patio of stone, couples will find unique backdrops for their ceremony, from a wooden set wall to a bright red door built into a house of dark stone. While the outdoor spaces offer plenty of quirks and privacy for a couples wedding day, they can also choose to have the ceremony in one of the many intimate rooms in the inn. The Nassau Inn has one large ballroom for couples, with a number of other smaller event rooms. The Prince William Ballroom, the largest space, features a wooden dance floor upon the carpet, polished wooden molding around a white ceiling, golden chandeliers, subtle golden wallpaper, and other antique accents that add charm and romance to a couple’s wedding reception. The more petite Palmer Room is also available for couples’ wedding-related functions, from an indoor ceremony or an intimate reception to a shower or engagement party. This versatile room has only the limits of a couple’s imagination.

Services Offered
Overnight accommodations are available at this exquisite inn. There is also a suite and a kitchen team ready to create a wedding cake specially for each couple that comes through the door. Event planning and lighting, and sound services can be found through helpful staff members at this wedding venue. Guests will arrive with style thanks to onsite parking, valet parking, and shuttle service, leaving no one behind.

Cuisine
Couples don’t need to worry about ordering outside alcohol for their wedding reception. The fully stocked bar has everything couples will need, from champagne for a toast to premium liquor options. American cuisine can be prepared for a couple’s wedding menu, with options offered to accommodate most dietary restrictions. These dishes can be served in the following catering styles for a couple’s wedding:

  • Buffet
  • Cocktail reception
  • Dessert
  • Hors d’oeuvres
  • Outside cake
  • Plated
  • Servers
  • Stations

Accommodation
Guest rooms and suites are available in this venue, each with its own unique vintage charm. In total, there are 157 guest rooms and 31 suites at the Nassau Inn. Though the styles and some of the furnishings are antique, all the technology in the hotel is new and up-to-date, allowing guests to rest in comfort. Suites feature separate sitting and sometimes dining areas for guests who choose to upgrade their stay.

History
The Nassau Inn began as the Nassau Tavern in 1756, when it was built by Judge Thomas Leonard. Following his passing, the tavern became an inn and welcomed many famous guests. This included the likes of Paul Revere, Robert Morris, and Thomas Paine, a guest who frequented the establishment. Through times of peace and war, surplus and hardship, the inn has stood its ground, making the facility the perfect location for couples to build their foundation of a new life.

Roger and Team Were AMAZING!

Roger and the rest of the Nassau Inn team blew us away for our wedding of ~160 guests. Roger, our main venue coordinator, was flexible, attentive, and quick to respond. On the day of our wedding, Roger and Brittany, our maitre'd, ensured that our day went flawless. We feel very grateful to have had their support throughout the process.

The venue itself delivered throughout the weekend. Guests loved gathering in the Yankee Doodle Taproom, and the ballroom for our reception and Senior Room for our cocktail hour required no us because they were already perfect for our wedding. The food was awesome, and we really enjoyed our tasting with family members before the big day.

We would 10/10 recommend the Nassau Inn, and especially Roger and Brittany. Thank you for making the planning and our special day perfect.

Great location, cozy venue, amazing team!

We were interested in the Inn initially because we were getting married on campus and wanted a reception somewhere easy for our guests to get to — and it was totally the right choice! We had about 75 guests and held the cocktail hour in Lobby 2, dinner in the Palmer room, and dancing in the John Witherspoon. The space was perfect and our guests loved all the places to hang out during the night. We worked most closely with Jaime and she was so easy to communicate with and patient with us when we bumbled through the details. Day of (and our tasting) was headed by Roger and he was also totally awesome and was so on top of everything — was easy to trust him with last minute details!! We honestly didn’t have to lift a finger — everything was set up beautifully and taken down seamlessly. Received so many compliments on the food and it was convenient to have cake included in our package (we went with Sweet Gourmet and guests raved about her lemon cake). All in all a huge success and we were so happy we went with the Inn! (Photos by Lee Smathers)

Amazing Venue in a Great Location

We were drawn to the Nassau Inn to host our reception because it was close to the church where we held our ceremony and to the center of town. The Banquet and Event Staff - Michelle and Kadie - were fantastic, professional, and responsive, making as many changes and additions as we needed up until the big day. Everything was set up beautifully - including moving around florals and other decor for different wedding events. We didn't need to lift a finger. On the day of, everything went off without a hitch and they made us feel truly special! I'd definitely recommend this beautiful location for your reception.
