I do not recommend this venue. We had a terrible experience with the manager. He spoke to us disrespectfully throughout the entire event, used inappropriate language, and treated our family with complete disrespect. What should have been a beautiful and unforgettable day for our little cousin's quinceañera turned into a nightmare because of the way we were treated. We are a Hispanic family, and sadly, we felt we were treated differently. Even our 15-year-old cousin, on one of the most special days of her life, was yelled at by the manager. No young girl should ever have to experience that on her quinceañera. The venue itself is nice, but customer service is just as important. Because of the way we were treated, I cannot recommend this place. I sincerely hope they improve the way they treat their guests so that no other family has to go through what we experienced. read more

What a nice experience! We held an organizational event here tonight and truly was a top notch venue from start to finish. Parking is ample and safe. We were greeted by a friendly staff who worked very hard all evening, from management to servers, to make the food service smooth and flawless The appetizers were fresh and delicious: all Italian and Mediterranean food, top quality salami and other meats, cheeses, olives, artichokes, etc. The entrees were delicious, penne vodka, cavatelli broccoli, eggplant, thinly sliced beef, salmon, etc The rooms look updated and are nicely kept: beautiful paint, wainscoting, vaulted ceilings, soft lighting all create an inviting, warm and classical environment. Thank you management and staff for all your attention to detail. read more

The venue is beautiful. It is not huge, which makes it more intimate. Unfortunately, the place is extremely outdated. The bathrooms are old. The chairs are wobbly and with chipped paint. The lights keep flickering in one room. There needs to be a serious overhaul to the venue. I came here for a workshop. The buffet food was not bad. Service was friendly and attentive. I am very sure with some modernizations the venue will be more attractive to potential wedding parties. read more

Exquisite venue and delicious food. It's a beautiful sight, with views of the boats in the marina! read more

The Mansion at Mountain Lakes - Dinner menu - Venues & Event Spaces Near Me - Mountain Lakes, New Jersey

Horrible food, no very well cooked and very bland including the cocktail hour foods. The drinks were okay.

While inside the venue is beautiful there is no real out door space. Have been to many a party here but recently the food quality has dropped significantly. Most recently we attended a sports banquet and the food was awful. Waiter walked out with penne a la vodka to refill the buffet bar he dropped it in the main dish and left it there, never mixed it in with remaining pasta and there was a ton a water dumped in as well. Food is sub par at best, for $45.00 per person, penne a la vodka, chicken fingers, French fries, salad, and something that resembled salmon is a rip off. Left the venue hungry and disappointed. read more

Went to a large work related event. Dinner was served cold. Extremely disappointing. Took one bite and pushed my plate away. Yes, this was a large party they had to serve but serving large parties is what they do. Food is something you must get right if you are going to host large gatherings. Cook delicious meals that are served hot. The venue was beautiful but i would not patronize them again. read more

Food was brought to tables cold. The menu our group selected was not provided--soup and knockwurst was left out . Not a good venue for an Oktoberfest event. Rich N. read more

Being a Dallas TX resident originally from Denville we were excited to have my wife's baby shower at The Mansion. We were scheduled to have the event but had to cancel due to pregnancy complications which lead to our son passing away. When we told the manager what had happened we were advised no credit for the deposit would be made because The Mansion would not be making any $$ on that day. Teuky disappointing. read more

Well located at 46 & 618. The decor is great with an upscale feel. Two large fountains greet you as you pull into the private parking lot. The food was delicious. I especially liked the friendliness of the wait staff with my favorite being a bubbly blonde named Nichelle. I definitely recommend this location for a fun and elegant banquet. read more

The Mansion at Mountain Lakes - Front door - Venues & Event Spaces Near Me - Mountain Lakes, New Jersey

Nancy and Jim are amazing. They were so helpful with everything and put me at ease. I even had a situation with a vendor who was causing every issue imaginable and Nancy went above and beyond made sure the situation was taken care of. She truly had my back and made sure there was nothing to stress about. The day of our wedding Jim was available at all times and was like family. The bridal attendant Maddy was an absolute sweetheart and pleasure to work with and I couldnt ask for a better person to help out during the day. The food was fantastic and our guests are still raving about how our wedding was the best they have ever been to. I cant recommend the Mansion enough. Thank you all for an amazing night that we will cherish forever read more

I recently had my daughter's bridal shower at The Mansion and it was beautiful! First of all, Jim was great to work with, helpful, accommodating and always available to answer questions to make my event exactly what I wanted. Olivia was also amazing, sweet and so helpful and ensured the day was running smoothly. The Hapgood room was perfect and all my guests loved it. The food was delicious and the service on point! All my guests loved everything about this special day and I want to say thank you to such a great team there! I will definitely recommend it to all. read more

We hosted our daughter 1st birthday party at the Mansion 3 days post Christmas 2019. This venue far exceeded expectations. We began planning in September and Nancy and Jim were beyond accommodating. We hosted over 150 guests (adults and children) and had many moving parts and the execution was flawless. The space is simply gorgeous as it was recently updated to a modern and rustic feel. Also, was was decorated impeccably for the holidays if you happen to have your event in Dec. The attention to detail was perfect. The service was top quality and during the event staff was plentiful to ensure no dirty plates lingered and empty glasses were cleared. The day of coordination was smooth leaving me to feel calm and ready to have a good time! Guests were greeted with a beautiful antipasto spread complete with meat, cheese, veggies and stuffed breads. All were delicious. The main entrees were Served Buffett style and we even had a separate buffet for children at the suggestion of Nancy which was a hit with the kids!! After trying the mac & cheese, I think every adult had to have a scoop because it was so scrumptious!! I would undoubtedly recommend this event for any party! Thank you for an amazing and memorable day that my guests are still raving about!!! read more

We had a school dinner there last night. It was horrible. The only entree that was served was a chicken roll up. It was chewy and inedible. Our entire table left most of it untouched. The service was terrible too. We had no dessert plates on the table which was a problem since the dessert was family style. I had to ask twice for plates. A place that focuses on parties and special events should know how to cook basic chicken and give decent service. I never call to complain, but I did because my daughter is also having her prom there in June and I thought the manager/owner should be notified. Well, Jim would not admit that I was right(customer is always right) and continued to tell me he received so many calls on how good everything was last night. I wasn't looking for anything, just to be heard. This place will not be recommended by me EVER! read more

Very nice place. Recently had sisters engagement party. It all went off fantastically.

September 2017 We booked this venue for our daughter wedding under the guidence of the manager Ron, He was experienced and very helpful. The next time we went to the venue we were greeted by Jim, the owner, and was told that Ron was fired. After leaving a 10,000.00 deposit, we were force to have the wedding there. After our initial conversation, we knew then that it would not be the same. He did not acquire the experience or knowledge of banquets and/or food knowledge. On the day of the wedding, we knew we had made a mistake immediately. Our guest were to be greeted with Champagne and strawberry, However that was not ready. We had over 175 guests, with one bar, because Jim the owner change it to one bar and one wine bar. Both on opposite sides of a very large room. He then stated when I approach him about it. He did me a favor. Hum, I cannot imagine how. The bar lines were horrible. We ordered EXTRA a fresh mozzarella station. It was to have braided, smoked and salted fresh mozzaella along with prosciutto, olive tapenade, ets, Well I received a dish of olive oil and wet mozzarella in a stainless steel roasting pan. This man wore NO gloves. He had his fingers in wet mozzarella water and cheese. I complained immediately, I would not eat it . It was disgusting Jim the owner stated that the mozzarella station man does not like to wear gloves. I could go on and on, I order Chateaubriand, and received Filet Mignon. the problems were endless. Jim the owner told me, this was another favor. I would not recommend this place to anyone. Overall if Jim the owner wants to do you a favor, Do yourself a favor and book someplace else read more

Last May, I had a party at The Mansion. The place was beautiful, however the service was not the best. I asked them to have a table on the kids' side for a variety of beverages, but they did not do so. At my party, I noticed that there were no drinks, so I told the worker to put them out. They put out a few 2-liter bottles of Pepsi, rather than the pitchers of the various sodas and juices. Also, I asked them to make the lights more dim multiple times, however they never did so. The ice cream bar was great, however the cake was not how I wanted it. The purple icing was not the right shade, and the regular frosting was not the right type. On the positive side, the food tasted amazing! The cocktail hour had such a variety of foods, ranging from tacos to Chinese noodles to hot dogs! Overall, my experience at the Mansion at Mountain Lakes was mediocre. read more

Love Nancy and vin ! They are great . I'm planning my wedding there and they have been nothing but supportive . They are even having a special menu for us ! I can't wait to get married there! read more

place looks great, but all the food was served cold. (even the food under heat lamps)

Jim or Vin I dunno he barely introduced himself was so unprofessional when we went to tour this venue. First he walked right past my hand I had extended to shake hands. He spent 80 percent of the time talking about another clients Maserati and Lamborghini. I almost feel as if he didn't want us to book there because our number of people wasn't impressive enough for him. One of the first questions he asked me was what was my budget. I failed to tell him that my parents were going to help us. So I guess the joke's on him. I didn't know my Infiniti wasn't good enough for the mansion I guess I would need to invest in a Lamborghini to be good enough to have my wedding there. Also they don't do taste tastings because the food is " too good for that" so you want me to fork out 150++ per head and have no idea how your food tastes. Also right after my fiance tells him that he is a butcher he makes the ridiculous comment, " well filet mignon is filet mignon" it was almost as if he wasn't listening to a word we said. Besides his professionalism I'm not a huge fan of venues right on the highway and this is right on 46. The rooms were beautiful. The building itself is very nice. But I'd rather feel important on my wedding day then feel like just a number. read more
