Who We Are
The Gramercy at Lakeside Manor is a boutique wedding venue in New Jersey that has been creating unforgettable celebrations since 1997. Located along the scenic shores of Natco Lake, our venue brings together natural waterfront beauty and sophisticated indoor elegance in a setting unlike anything else in the state.
Our grand ballroom accommodates up to 300 guests beneath an exquisite draped ceiling with crystal chandeliers, while a sweeping staircase creates the kind of grand entrances couples remember forever. Whether your celebration takes place in our outdoor wedding venue space overlooking the lake or inside our beautifully appointed ballroom, every setting is designed to be extraordinary.
Our General Manager Victoria Collia-Bowman has built lasting relationships with hundreds of couples and families across New Jersey, and her personal involvement in every event is one of the things our clients mention most in their reviews. Executive Chef Nicholas Kakounis, a graduate of the Institute of Culinary Education who trained under Michelin-recognized chefs, leads a kitchen built around quality, creativity, and presentation. Together, they are the reason The Gramercy feels like family from the very first visit.
A Boutique Wedding Venue NJ Families Have Trusted for Over 25 Years
For more than two decades, The Gramercy at Lakeside Manor has been the venue of choice for couples and families throughout New Jersey and the Staten Island area. Families searching for luxury wedding venues in NJ consistently find their way here because we offer something the larger, corporate halls simply cannot: real one-on-one service, a team that genuinely knows your name, and a level of personal attention that makes every guest feel like a priority.
We have earned a 4.8-star rating on Google across more than 500 reviews, and a 4.9 on both WeddingWire and The Knot. But the number we are most proud of is the families who come back to celebrate a second event with us after their first. That kind of loyalty does not happen at a venue that treats celebrations as just another booking.
Our lakeside wedding venue in NJ features a grand ballroom, crystal chandeliers, a sweeping staircase, a handmade iron gazebo, and an outdoor pavilion with full views of Natco Lake. Couples who want waterfront wedding venues in New Jersey with the intimacy of a boutique experience find exactly that here. We keep it to one event per day so that every couple who walks through our doors gets the full version of The Gramercy, not a shared one.
