About

On WeddingWire since 2011

The Palace at Somerset Park located in Somerset, New Jersey is the perfect distance from Manhattan, Philadelphia and international airports. There are 40 acres of manicured estate surrounded picturesque gardens with continuous tree lines around the entire estate. Giving the couples the ultimate canvas for creating their own personal touches from the custom lighting to linen colors. With 25 foot ceilings, custom chandeliers and a grand staircase for dramatic entrances the Palace is the place to be.

As guests enter through magnificent private entrances with valet, they will be greeted by tuxedoed servers with sparkling water and champagne into the foyer area. Guests will enjoy a cocktail hour with a top shelf open bar complete with fine crafted cocktails, butlered hors d’oeuvres, multiple live stations and French doors leading to a 5,000 square foot outdoor terrace with firepits and seating all evening.

Ceremonies on site can take place in multiple locations including outside for a “ceremony in the sky” overlooking trees and gardens. With 1,100 square feet of space to get ready or touch up in, the wedding suite will be a perfect place for a bridal party to gather. Food and cocktails are provided with assistance from a top notch bridal attendant while the Maitre’d runs the event.

The Palace is staffed with some of the finest chefs, creating delicious cuisine for each event that they host. Head Chef Justin di Bianca, member of Chaine des Rotisseurs, is dedicated and passionate about the work he does. When creating packages, he keeps in mind different cultures to highlight every individual and make the wedding day their own.

100% recommend!

10/10
We had roger and Marcia as our maitre d's and they were both great and made sure everything went as planned. My bridal attendant also made sure I was taken care of all day. Food was amazing. Would 100% recommend them to all future brides. Great price and only one package option so it makes things far less complicated. Alex was our event coordinator leading up to the day and I cannot say enough amazing things. The sheer number of emails I sent her and she graciously answered them all.

Best venue ever!!!!

I truly do not know where to begin when it comes to The Palace. My now husband and I fell in love from the second we drove up to this venue. We were greeted by Brigitte Hofmann, our sales manager, who warmly introduced us to The Palace. She answered our questions professionally, gave us all options and could not have been more helpful in her guidance. Our appointment(s) with her were always so enjoyable, helpful and it was our first big introduction to our wedding process. We were then introduced to our wedding planner (that The Palace provides you with) Raphaella (Ella) Bonavitacola and this woman deserves multiple awards. The most diligent, helpful, responsive, over the top (in the best way), dedicated wedding planner we've had the honor of working with. She went above and beyond for us. She kept me (the bride) sane, while helping me navigate the stresses of wedding planning. She would think of things before I even had to ask and ensured that the flow of every single detail was overlooked carefully. She always kept things fun at the end of the day and there are no words to describe how much she means to us. If you're lucky enough to work with Ella, count your blessings she is UNBELIEVABLE; and so talented. Lastly, on the day of our wedding we worked with David Parada; our maitre-d for the day/night of our wedding. Words fall short. Yet again, this gentleman went above and beyond for us. His personality was infectious, his talent was overwhelmingly apparent and his dedication to us was so visibly seen throughout the night. Every single detail was gone over with a fine tooth comb, ensuring that our vision would come to light. He was ON THE BALL the entire night, handled things without us even knowing/ realizing and every single one of our guests could see how fantastic this gentleman was. He was the man behind the magic. Biggest shout out to my bridal attendants: Wendy and Cindy they were incredible, so attentive, helpful and kept my spirits up throughout the business of the day. Joy, from guest services who was working throughout my wedding day and night was such a JOY to work with. She kept us laughing alongside our bridal party. If you are lucky enough to have your wedding or any event at the palace- consider yourself in the BEST hands. They are a fabulous, kind, warmhearted and well oiled machine. Your wedding and/ or event will epic; just like our wedding was. Thank you to The Palace for giving us the wedding of our dreams- you will forever hold a huge place in our hearts!

The Palace at Somerset Park was one of our most favorite venues to work at. The staff is so efficient there and the maitre'd, Richard, and bridal assistant, Latonya, worked together flawlessly and were so easy to work with ourselves. They helped us flow through portraits all while keeping the bride and groom from seeing each other before the ceremony. The Palace is beautiful and the food is amazing. Can we work here every weekend? ;)
