Luciens Manor Review

Absolutely beautiful cousin had his birthday here. It s very large but still classy and not over the top

Went here for my graduation. Very very nice. The food was also very good.

Attended a wedding and reception here and was impressed with the quality and quantity of food! The wait staff was fun and efficient as well as accommodating. Trinity and Annmarie were fantastic and a lot of fun. All in all, it was a great experience and I would highly recommend Lucien Manor!!

We had or wedding here. We liked this place and the way they took care of us. We did have a minor hiccup where cupcakes we ordered from a third party vendor were not put out. The team at Lucien's Manor handled the situation honestly and professionally. They accepted the fault after a brief internal investigation and compensated is for our loss. The hiccup could be seen as a demerit, however the honesty and professionalism more than make up for it. They are human too.

Update: Lucien s contacted me and is being great working with me. Thank you, Jake! You are awesome!!

Beautiful and spacious. Friendly staff. Free parking. Beautiful gardens.

This place is fabulous. Food excellent and more than any other place I have been. Beautiful

Awesome! Experience. I would love to have an event there, they pulled out all the stops couldn't have asked for more.

Very nice catering venue for banquets and weddings.

Great service; great food; one of the most pleasant and hardworking young ladies that I've been around.
She was a beautiful lady and a beautiful person.

My wedding was at Lucien's over Thanksgiving weekend. I have pictured my wedding since I was little and what Lucien's was able to deliver was so far beyond what I could have ever hoped for.!From our first meetings with Jake to our follow appointments with Nichole, everything was perfect and exciting!

We were in awe and our guests could not stop talking about the gorgeous room, the amazing and abundant food and how smoothly everything went. Our bridal team made sure we had everything we needed and the night was absolutely perfect.

I STRONLY recommend Lucien's and can not thank Nichole, Jake, Robin, Peggy and the entire staff at Lucien's for making our dream day better than I ever could have imagined!

Was disappointed that they was temporarily close but I love there food and service but most of all the peace the place makes you feel beautiful inside

Lucien's Manor is absolutely amazing. Their venue is gorgeous, their food is phenomenal and the staff is wonderful. In the middle of a pandemic they kept my husband and myself at peace. They worked with us and the NJ Covid regulations, they even upgraded our ballroom to a bigger one at no cost so we could have more guests since there is a 25% capacity rule because of Covid. I heard a few bride horror stories on how their venues did not help them during the pandemic, I thank God this was not the case with Lucien's they really did care and helped in every way possible. They took care of anything we needed. We were treated like royalty and so were our guests. Their ballrooms are one of a kind, elegant and magical. Not to mention their food and staff. One staff member walked around just to fix my dress right before every photo so my maid of honor could enjoy cocktail hour. They brought food and drinks to my husband and I. We did not even have to move! My dream wedding came to life because of Lucien's Manor! Thank you!

The hall was impeccably beautiful. The gold highlights of the ball room walls,the carpeted floors leading to the ballroom, the plush Victorian staircase leading to the first floor (and an elevator for the lazy ones like me) are divine. The frosting on the cake is the Greek inspired god and goddesses marble sculptures that can be seen in a vehicle when in normal traffic. I have no complaints at all about this place.

My brother in law was married July 13th at this location. The venue was outstanding! The staff were so professional and accommodating! I highly recommend this venue for their amazing service and venue.

Terrible experience. Staff was on point and had great a service but management was very poor starting with Jacob Miller.

My wife and I had our wedding here, and still people talk about how great it was and how amazing the food and place was. I recommend Luciens everytime someone is getting married. They accommodated and were amazing through the whole process.

This is an ABSOLUTELY spectacular event space hosted by an INCREDIBLY friendly and fabulous staff

This place is beautiful! Great place to have a wedding!

The staff was amazing especially the two gentlemen who assisted my sister-in-law on her wedding day. I know one of their names were Chris and I can't remember the other name but they were great. Food and service top notch.

The venue is nice especially the larger halls. However, for a day wedding the hall to the right with the glass ceiling gets too hot to be comfortable as the air conditioning did not keep up for a mid day summer wedding. All in all the service was good, the halls beautiful and spacious.

Incredible location. We were there for the annual wigs and wishes gala. Superb.

We were here for a wedding reception and WOW! This place was absolutely AMAZING & GORGEOUS! The service was outstanding, the food was by far the best food I've ever had at a wedding. The happy hour and appetizers were better than any appetizers I've ever had at any restaurant!
I would absolutely recommend this place to another couple as a reception venue or corporate party

We where up stairs and to the left. Everytine people started dancing the floor shook and not just a little. Imho their is something Structurally wrong with that place. Wont go back

We had our cocktail hour and reception here almost 12 years ago and many people who attended still rave about the incredible ambiance. quality, and professionalism of the staff. The venue was fantastic, the food was amazing, and the service was second to none. Thanks for providing such a great evening for everyone in attendance.

We had our wedding there this past weekend and the venue far exceeded my expectations. The staff was very friendly, attentive and professional. One of my groomsman had the top button fall of his tux as soon as we arrived (A blunder for Men's Wearhouse) and within minutes it was sewn back on by our maitre d'. The whole evening was perfect. The food was outstanding with massive portions and so much variety. Many of our guests said they were full just after the cocktail hour. Of all the places we looked at in Maryland and New Jersey for an upscale wedding, Lucien's was definitely the most bang for your buck. Not only did they include more, but the cost per person was significantly cheaper. Lucien's even takes care of the little things that I think that get lost in all the planning. I can't say enough about how awesome our wedding was. Everything was truly outstanding. If you are looking for a classy venue for a flawless event that your guests won't stop talking about, this should be at the top of your list.

It's beautiful but the food is kind of boring. That may have just been the people hosting the event, though, so I'm not judging them too harshly and I would give it another go if I had a reason to.

Management treated my husband very poorly. He was helping coordinate our sister s wedding and they were very rude to him as if my family didn t just spend thousands at this venue. I will say that the staff and Maitre d were amazing and the venue style is decent.

I ve attended two weddings here using different ceremony and reception rooms. All the rooms are very nice and perfect for weddings. Appetizers and salad/soup are overall wonderful. Main course is okay and the drinks are weak. The second time (tonight) we had a server Angela for our table and in all the weddings I ve attended she was the best server. Outgoing and attentive, I couldn t have asked for a better experience.

Very Decorative, Nice Sculptures, Beautiful Fountains.

Very beautiful, but the waitresses wasn't too friendly.

Place looks amazing from the outside. But not impressed with interior. Food was sub-par.

Awesome party... service was great! Food was delicious and the entertainment was on point!

I am a wedding videographer and I have not only filmed here a few times but have attended as a guest and its always a great venue for both reasons. The food is great the tooms are amazing and now that they finished the newer area there is so much more. If you are planning to have your wedding there make sure you get the cheesesteaks for the guest as everyone leaves.

Wife and I had our reception here in August 2018, and the service was beyond exceptional! The lighting, the staff were all super amazing. James, our bridal attendant worked tirelessly to make sure my wife and I were taken care of, from getting us drinks, food, and helping out with the schedule. Our maitre'd was amazing as well. She went above and beyond to make sure our vendors were even on task and that the day went smoothly. Peggy, Nichole, and the entire office staff went above and beyond throughout the process.

Wow ... what an experience to he had ... i felt like we were royalty .. i attended a wedding sept.2019 from 4pm to 10pm ... the service was exceptional. The staff was not bad ... the food did not stop and the drinks kept refilling all evening .i felt like i was in a new show called "heavens kitchen"

Great food and service. Outstanding place for a wedding!

Everybody was very nice and it kept the tables clean

I attended a 60th birthday party. The place is so nice. Landscaped beautifully. The room we were in was spacious, decor very nice and the food and service was very good. A very nice venue to house many occasions!

Amazing party and wedding venue. I've been here for 10+ events over the years and I love coming back.

My husband and I are still impressed and thrilled that we chose Lucien's Manor to have our daughters wedding Reception. They were very professional from the time we made our first appointment all the way through to the event. I could not ask for a better experience when planning one of the most important events of my daughters life. Nicole was the first person we met with, she helped us plan the full event from the beginning, but when ever I did call with a question all the staff was more than happy to answer any question I had. We were in the Venetian Ball Room It had just been remodeled it was beautiful when we saw it and more beautiful after the remodel when we used it. Wendy was our
maitre'd she made every thing run perfect the night of the reception. The food was the best we have ever had at a wedding. Our friends still remark about the venue and the food. The sit down dinner was served very quickly, every one was eating at the same time. They offered seconds to our quest, some took advantage but most were to full from the hors d'oeuvres and the main meal, the desserts were just wonderful. Our guest remarked at the wedding and then a year later it is still the talk of all our family and friends. If I ever need a venue for an event again I will know who to go to!

Very nice venue service was excellent with good food

Food was incredible. Place is really well maintained and clean. I love the fact that the parking lot has a roof. That really helped keep my van cool on what was probably the hottest day if the year.

I was here as a guest for a wedding. The staff was friendly and attentive. The food was good. The only downfall I saw was the size of the dance floor really couldn't accommodate the number of guests on our room.

Very pretty hall and facilities excellent service and food

It was nice too loud in the chapel, the cocktail hour was nice not enough seating, the dinner was good but also too loud in that room didn't even know one of the choices was steak so I wound up with chicken, also had someone s kid at our table that wasn't supposed to be there, they were told to move but the mom got an attitude with one of our friends and all she did was mention it was an odd number of chairs at our table.

I wish you can give 0 stars because that s what Lucien s deserves with such terrible management by Jacob Miller. Such a horrible experience. An event that costs thousands then showing up and being put under so many restrictions is the last thing we expected. Jacob gave us, the guests, such a hard time and did not want to cooperate with us at all until a bad review got to him. Threatened to shut everything down as well if we didn t delete the comment, so here I am again writing it again. STAY FAR AWAY from this place as there is no professionalism from the management. Servers and other workers do not deserve such a bad manager. Have your events elsewhere!

Your everyday wedding mill. Unoriginal, gaudy and cheesy. You have to have zero taste to have your event here.

Threw threw the receipt right at my face, and they refused to apologize! Unbelievable service.

Very disappointed. The guests were supposed to be let back in after the dinner reception to watch the groom dress the bride in gold and other traditions that didn t even include dancing and yet they said we weren t allowed. Guests sat outdoors for two hours wasting time because they weren t allowed back in. Once we convinced the manager to let us back in, they had begun to cute the cake. The cake was NOT decorated and looked very disappointing. It was just a plain layer of frosting. The groom had specifically booked with this hall because the hall was able to split in two to separate men and women. While the cake cutting was taken place, the manager, Jake, decided to stand at the top of the steps like a vulture. The hall was split so that the only man in the room was the groom. NOT the groom and Jake. I felt very uncomfortable, as I only go to split weddings. Furthermore, the manager complained about the music being too loud, you manage a wedding hall, what do you expect. To continue, the bride and groom never got to complete the traditions that they wanted to do because they had us sit outside for two hours. Not to mention that they switched to small tables last second without letting us know in time AND didn t offer enough seating. Guests had to grab their own tables and Chairs after getting tired of leaning against the wall. Sorry isn t going to compensate the thousands of dollars that have been wasted.

The Lucien Manor is a beautiful venue! From the parking lot that has a tent covers all the vehicles going to the venue, to the beautiful halls inside. The staff pays very close attention to detail and the food is exceptional! They have multiple halls to accommodate different size parties and an appetizers room to hold your guests in while the reception hall is being prepared. The cleanliness of the facilities is amazing. I was really appreciative of the staff, because they were able to manage themselves enough to stay professional despite dealing with a few "tough cases" at a wedding I recently attended there. The staff genuinely wants to give you the best experience. They partnered with an event planning business called, "J'adore Events" who also did a phenomenal job in ensuring that the wedding went as planned. Overall, if you plan on getting married and want a phenomenal place for your wedding, they have plenty of options, from outside marriages to indoor ceremonies; go with Lucien!

It's Beautiful inside & out.. service was on top of it and very nice.. Food was Delicious Had a very nice time .

Absolutely amazing. Lovely inside and the food is awesome

The service, food, and atmosphere was excellent !!! I also would like to mention that James and Steve were amazing and made the day especially wonderful for my college bestie's wedding reception- Can't say enough great things about Luciens- :-)

Very professional! Great staff that were so kind and there if we needed anything. Everything was so good and perfect. Food was DELICIOUS! Service was great. Venue was so clean and organized. Just perfect. We were so happy with the results. Thank you so much

Family party. Food was great, wonderful selection and plenty to go round. We had buffet style. Service was on top of everything and very polite and friendly. The place itself is beautiful, well taken care of and very clean. Loved everything.

My nephew got married there Sunday the place is beautiful a bit unorganized but that was the least of my problem.... when we went in to the reception we loved the room BUT we had the waitress from hell started with the mean look on her face went to being extremely RUDE tossing salad all over my sister ( mother of the groom) dress she keep knocking into my wheelchair NEVER say excuse me so when I finally said something to her she bowed up like she was ready to fight rolling her eyes shrugging her shoulders talking and acting like the only thing left to do was slap me I immediately called someone over and they moved her from our table just for her to go over to table 2 ( we where table 1) and be just as nasty and RUDE and she continued to be a complete server from HELL..... there were other staff that were rude but NO one was anywhere as bad as mellissa....... I would tell anyone who ask me NOT to have any event there... the 2 stars was because it so pretty and the coattail hour FOOD was great the drinks where watered down and I m not a drinker and I could tell....

Shame on you Lucien's for not being able to come up with a satisfying vegetarian meal. I am a vegan, the bride requested a special meal for me. Had I known that it would consist of 8 pieces of poorly grilled, flavorless zucchini and steamed bland hunks of broccoli dropped in the middle of the plate, I would have eaten before I arrived. This was the most disappointing attempt at a vegan dish I have ever seen in my life. I expected far more from a catering hall of this supposed caliber. Mind you I usually do not expect much when there is a special request for me, but other halls have gone above and beyond. This was truly disappointing. The vegetables on the regular meal plates (roasted potatoes, asparagus, carrots) would have been more appetizing than what I was served.
