If you are looking for a reception venue in North Jersey and you want a place that will go above and beyond to make your day special, take care of your guests, and provide a beautiful, welcoming space for your wedding – look no further!
First, Weisser, the AMAZING assistant general manager, and the rest of the staff will do everything they can to make sure your reception is everything you want it to be. (I should note that we were not married at the MCC so I cannot comment on ceremonies there.) Throughout the entire planning process, Weisser was very responsive to our emails and I cannot emphasize enough how much of a pleasure he is to work with. When he offers advice, you should listen to him- he knows what he is talking about (i.e. day of logistics, etc.) and will know what to do to make sure your evening goes smoothly. We had a number of items we wanted put out around the club as décor and also on tables for our guests and Weisser and his team took care of everything for us. Also, many of our guests noted how much the staff at the MCC went out of their way during our reception to make sure everyone was comfortable and taken care of.
Secondly, the food at the MCC is absolutely phenomenal! Months after our wedding, our guests are STILL talking about the food at our wedding. The MCC puts together possibly the best cocktail hour your guests will ever experience with many diverse, delicious food stations. I should also mention that everything throughout the evening was included in base cost. There were no options that we needed to purchase for an additional fee (as we had observed at other venues we considered). Dinner was also exceptional. Our guests had a choice between grilled filet mignon and sea bass (and they also accommodated every dietary and allergic restriction imaginable), both of which were expertly prepared and followed delicious courses of salad and intermezzo. The MCC provided our wedding cake, which was from a local bakery and was fantastic. In addition to wedding cake, there was an additional dessert selection and passed desserts on the dance floor. To top everything off, at the end of the night, Weisser and his amazing team provided guests with White Castle fries and sliders and bottled water for the shuttle back to the hotel.
Aside from the amazing customer service and exceptional food, the MCC also provides you with a gorgeous venue. The ballroom is incredibly elegant, with high ceilings and a newly renovated dance floor. The lounge area is warm and comfortable, with ample seating for guests during cocktail hour. Our guests also loved being about to go outside on the patio throughout the night. The fire pits and heated lamps the MCC has outside made this an enjoyable option for our guests, even though we were married on a cool fall day.
And lastly, I would be remiss to not emphasize the incredible value of the MCC. The MCC was by far one of the most affordable venues we considered (on a price per guest basis). Moreover, for the quality and quantity of food our guests received, the elegance of the space, and the incomparable service, we would have thought we would be paying double what we had paid. We cannot recommend the MCC highly enough!!
