When you’re planning a milestone celebration in Central New Jersey, you want a venue that understands the difference between hosting an event and creating an experience. Here at the Grand Marquis in Old Bridge, we’ve spent over 30 years perfecting that art for Bar Mitzvahs, Sweet 16s, quinceañeras, corporate galas, and milestone birthdays.
It stands out for its grand architecture, full service, and ability to host both small celebrations and large events. Marble columns, spacious ballrooms, premium food and bar service, and experienced staff create a polished setting. Flexible catering options and support for cultural and corporate needs add to its appeal for luxury gatherings in New Jersey.
What Makes the Grand Marquis a Luxury Venue
Luxury isn’t just about beautiful spaces; it’s about the complete experience from your first conversation with us through your last guest’s goodbye. At the Grand Marquis, we define luxury through three pillars: architectural grandeur that photographs like a European palace, comprehensive inclusions that eliminate worry, and service refined over three decades of hosting New Jersey’s most discerning families. When marble columns, crystal chandeliers, and impeccable service come together, you get more than a venue; you get a legacy location for your celebration.
Architectural Elegance That Elevates Your Event
Walk into our Dome Room, and you’ll see why families choose us for their most important celebrations. The dome ceiling soars overhead while the circular dance floor anchors the room. Floor-to-ceiling windows open to a private patio. With space for 250 guests, it creates an intimate luxury experience.
Our Marquis Ballroom accommodates up to 800 guests beneath crystal chandeliers. Roman Corinthian marble columns frame the perimeter, and these columns can change colors to match the mood of your celebration.
Full Service Luxury Inclusions
Your celebration includes everything you’d expect from a luxury venue. Butler passed hors d’oeuvres during cocktail hour. Cold and hot food stations. Premium open bar for your entire event. First course and four choice entrées served tableside by our professional staff. Multiple dessert options plus your celebration cake. We provide all stemware, silverware, linens, tables, and chairs. Valet parking keeps arrivals smooth.
Our award-winning chefs create custom menus for your celebration, including Kosher-style options for Bar and Bat Mitzvahs. For cultural celebrations requiring specific catering, we welcome licensed outside caterers while still providing bar service, staff, and venue amenities.
The Details That Define Luxury
Decorative marble flooring throughout the venue. A glass atrium floods spaces with natural light. Luxurious bathrooms and private dressing suites for your VIPs. Manicured grounds for photos between events. These details separate a standard banquet hall from a luxury venue.
For corporate events, we configure our ballrooms in boardroom, theater, or classroom styles. We’re one of the few venues in the Tri-State area capable of hosting over 750 guests for galas and conferences. Our flexibility means your product launch gets the same attention to detail as a quinceañera.
Experience the Difference in Person
After 30 years of hosting luxury celebrations in Old Bridge, we’ve earned our reputation through consistency. Our WeddingWire Awards from 2017, 2018, and 2019 reflect that commitment. Whether you’re planning a 100-person birthday dinner or a 750-guest corporate gala, we deliver the luxury experience your celebration deserves.
Conclusion: Your Luxury Celebration Starts Here
The difference between the Grand Marquis and other venues becomes clear the moment you walk through our doors. You’ll see why families trust us with their once-in-a-lifetime celebrations, why corporations choose us for galas that need to impress, and why we’ve become Central New Jersey’s definition of luxury event hosting. Your milestone deserves marble columns, crystal chandeliers, and service that anticipates rather than reacts.
