Arthur Murray Red Bank studio just had the most amazing and magical event at the Sterling Ballroom…read more(inside the Double Tree Hotel Tinton Falls-Eatontown). We were searching for a venue which could accommodate our Valentine's Ball with Showcase and Social dance with full scale catering. The Sterling Ballroom team did not disappoint. From the beginning of planning to execution, we had a short amount of time, only 6 weeks! We found the venue during the last week of December, and finalized contract at the beginning of January and our event was February 9th! The Sales Team Reena and Sue tagged team well and got what we needed at a short notice with holiday downtime during the final contract arrangement. The Sterling Ballroom had been more than accommodating. They were able to set up everything to perfection. From table setup, to decoration, centerpiece etc. When our guests arrived, everyone was complimenting immediately about the Ambiance of the ballroom. The numerous chandeliers gave it the most elegant look and feel. The place was warm and the staff were the most welcoming. Special thanks to the Catering Manager Nemo who has met with our studio manager several times to ensure the House speaker system would work with AM Red Bank's sound equipment as well as on the day of, re-arranged tables to perfection as our original floor plan did not really match what we wanted (our fault, not The Sterling Ballroom's). Our event had a floating schedule. Nemo was able to get his staff to turn around quickly and serve food slightly earlier than scheduled. His team of staff were so pleasant. Everyone had a great smile on and very efficient in working. Very professional. From our end, everyone was raving about how good the food was. The salmon was extremely juicy and tender. The Paella was a very nice touch as most places wouldn't have that on the menu. The Banquet menu had great choices and we were able to select 4 entrees, 2 types of salads with great accompaniments and desserts. Refreshment was provided throughout the event which was a nice touch as we all needed coffee, water and drink for a dance event! All in all, we could not have been happier with how the event turned out. Will be looking forward to organizing more events at The Sterling Ballroom in the future and would recommend this to all who want to have a special event!

This is the fourth major reception that we have hosted and by far the banquet staff was the best we have encountered. Honest, east to work with, and transparent are three phrases that describe them. They took the stress out of the wedding so we were able to enjoy the day! Location--just off of Exit 8 of the NJ Turnpike. Rooms--very clean and modern. Food--plentiful, perfectly cooked and well presented. Servers--professional and willing to accommodate all requests. We received many compliments from our guests about the venue. The other two vendors that we hired (photographer and DJ) both said this was one of the best venues they have seen. HIGHLY RECOMMEND that you consider this facility for your next affairQ

I had my reception at the Windsor Ballroom and I can tell you that it was only the third place we…read morelooked at and we booked that same day. Do not be put off by the outside area which looks very run of the mill Holiday Inn. The ballroom is very nice, the cocktail hour is held at a very spacious area and more importantly for us....they dancefloor is ginormous! Unless you come here for a wedding, I don't think you get the scope of how beautiful the ballroom can turn out. Tara and her team did so much to help us with price, decor and lighting which made the place really come alive. Cocktail Hour: We did a Jersey Shore table during cocktail hour which everyone raved (especially the kids). The servers were excellent, kept coming by with trays of food and very attentive to guests needs. MOST IMPORTANTLY the maitre'd was PHENOMENAL!! He greeted me as soon as I stepped foot on the premises and literally ran around helping me fix a dress issue I had, got me a cocktail to relax and had another server bring me food so I wouldn't pass out. Food: The food is was all so delicious! We picked the baked chicken and the crab stuffed fish and people all loved it. We added dessert trays at the end were filled with these ginormous chocolate covered strawberries and endless crispy pastries, at first I thought I wouldn't need it, but our cake turned out to not be that good, so it really helped. Decor: They can include everything from centerpieces, table numbers, tea lights an envelope cage AND YOUR WEDDING CAKE as part of your package.As a bride that wanted to spend a month-long honeymoon in Europe INSTEAD of centerpieces, this was a huge selling point. Service: I can not say enough about the amazing service I received from the Windsor Ballroom. I have a very demanding job and kept forgetting about due dates for deposits, guests counts and basically everything important....and they were all so patient with me, accommodating to my schedule and really always taking that extra step to make sure I felt at ease. I have never experienced such exceptional customer service from a place. Granted, I have never been married before, but I have heard horror stories, and to be quite honest, I assumed because this is not a super expensive place I was going to get just mediocre service. Hotel accommodations: My husband family was coming from Philadelphia and mine was coming from North Jersey so this was literally the best midpoint. On top of that, it was phenomenal knowing that everyone could enjoy the open bar and safely just walk to their room. We were given a Luxury suite for free for our wedding night and had a discounted price for our guests to stay. As we walked in they had a bottle of champagne, 2 slices of wedding cake, chocolate covered strawberries and a cookie shaped like a wedding cake that said congratulations Mr & Mrs Arellano. It really was such a sweet and personalized touch. Breakfast: The couple enjoys brunch for free the next day ($15 pp), this was a nice touch, we had another mini reception in the morning with everyone walking in tending to their hangover together. The food was excellent and it is also held in the Irish Pub right on the premises, so no need to check out early. I have been raving about this place to all my friends and plan on booking many future events here as well. THANK YOU Windsor ballroom for such an amazingggg wedding experience.

I booked it with Nicole who had the party date set and ready for us. Then I get a call from the owner Frank who confirms the package, head count, additional orders for the adults. Then I received another call from Nicole asking to confirm the things for the party, when I informed her that I spoke to Frank, she tells me that he never wrote it in the system. As we get there for the day of the party, Frank has music playing with foul language playing in the background. The party starts late and they try and end the party early. The party only runs for an hour and a half. When I was charged for the party Frank charges me more than what was stated in the invoice that he sent me. When I question him about it, he tells me that he will call me back and see what happened. He never returned my call. If you want a nice experience all and all don't book it here, you will be disappointed all around.

I was here for a wedding. That whole experience aside has been completely fucking trumped by what…read morehappened afterwards: The maitre'd Syed R, registered himself a little Yelp account and got in touch with me Monday September 12, 2011 and had the following to say: "We are in the process of contacting yelp in regard to this blatant lie of a you have written...the bride and the parents and the rest of 190 people enjoyed except for yourself .....this is what your cousin wrote....and we have sent a copy to Yelp and our attorney..... " So first impression: Lakeside Manor does not seem to be a fan of free speech based on that e-mail. The subjective experience and opinions of someone there (note my Yelp checkin) apparently are not worth politely responding to, as they try to address their customer service issues to provide a better experience to the family wedding party, rather they would like the review removed as if it never happened and to threaten a lawsuit in an attempt to dial back free speech and have a chilling effect on public participation when you are less than pleased with a local business because every time you don't give a five star review, you might get sued. This is a fucking disgusting and morally reprehensible attempt to toll the freedoms we all take for granted. - but good thing the law is on my side, since you do not need to look hard to find a quote from Yelp CEO Jeremy Stoppelman that no Yelp user has ever been successfully sued for their reviews. Good thing I forwarded a copy of that e-mail to my fucking attorney - wait, I am a fucking attorney. So when you use LAKESIDE MANOR that is the kind of charming customer service you receive. Oh and on top of the Yelp message, everyone in your family is going to get an angry phone call from Syed R too, if you give anything less than five stars. Because you know, one Yelp review from someone states away is *that* big of a deal it is worth bothering everyone in my extended family. Apparently I am the only one who thinks the entire situation is a little fucking stupid, very fucking ridiculous, and even more fucking childish. One star for your piss-poor customer service and interfering in my family's life Syed R - you have wasted my time and my family's time.

The ceremony over looked the docks and was a little interrupted by the public. It would have been nice if their were employees were there assisting to avoid two little boys interrupting the ceremony.

I just hate summer weddings because of the heat.

Our family originally went to a restaurant two doors down from The Standard, but we were so…read moredisappointed that we decided to leave. Since we had parked right next to The Standard, we chose to give it a try for lunch--and it was the best decision we've made in a long time. The hotel was beautifully decorated for Christmas, creating such a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The restaurant itself was just as lovely. We were a party of five, including a 14-month-old baby, and our waitress could not have been more accommodating. Another great convenience is that the hotel also has parking available in the back. I only wish I had taken photos! We started with appetizers--crispy calamari, mussels, and chicken wing lollipops. For our entrées, we ordered the French Dip sandwich, the Carnegie Reuben, and two Standard burgers. We also asked for a kids' pasta. Expecting the usual penne, we were surprised when angel-hair pasta arrived. Our little girl had never tried it before, so we requested a substitution. Although our waitress explained that angel hair was the only pasta they typically have, she returned moments later to let us know the chef was going to get penne just for us. That level of service truly stood out. The food was amazing, and the service was exceptional. We enjoyed our visit so much that we are even considering hosting a family wedding and a baptism here. Highly recommend The Standard American Hotel!

We really wanted somewhere to sit outside and this was the only option. We were the only ones…read moreoutside and our service seemed kind of annoyed that he had to keep coming out to us. Unfortunately, he had a mess up where he told us something was gluten-free and when we double checked with someone else, we found out that it was not. Thankfully, the other man who was working at the bar advised us and told us that the kitchen would make the meal Gluten-free for us, which was awesome. We really liked it. Also got a wedge salad with steak which was really good. I'm so glad we clarified things because it could've been a real health issue if we didn't. I think the server needs to be l educated on the severity of allergies and to ask instead of assuming if he isn't sure. We also ordered an apple pie and asked for iced cream on the side and it came out on top. There was also so much liquid floating around in the dessert. We didn't even ask to send it back because it was already a tense interaction with him as he just seemed annoyed our entire time there. Barely ate the dessert and when I had mentioned to him that we asked for the ice cream on the side I don't think he understood and asked if I wanted a box to take it home but I just said no. I just barely ate it and took it as a $14 loss. We were going to get one more drink because we were enjoying being outside even though the service wasn't that great, but the server ended up l bringing us the check, which we hadn't asked for yet so we took it as a sign to just go. I think we just got stuck with someone who did not like his job and was unhappy he was there and unfortunately it did taint our experience. Would potentially go back if we notice someone else working outside.
