The Ellora

My wife and I had our wedding reception here at Ellora on June 11, 2016 and it was amazing. At our wedding we had over 500 guests so we used the entire building, the upstairs ballroom for the reception and the downstairs 3 rooms for the cocktail hour. The staff was unbelievable at the wedding reception, they were so attentive and went out of there way to insure that we were taken care of. Peter and Ashley were amazing in getting us things that we needed. We got the Indian menu for dinner and the western menu for the cocktail hour and the food was so good. I would recommend this banquet to anyone. So many of our guest came up to us and told us this was the best wedding they had ever been to. The one negative is that we did have a to battle a little for things that we were verbally promised, if they mention something in negotiations please do make sure that you get it on the contract. In the end they worked that out with us. Regardless the event went great and we had such a great time.

We had our daughter’s baptism party here June 2015 and recently had her 1^st Birthday party March 2016. The venue was renovated and it looks stunning! I love this place. Ashley worked with me with the party logistics and assisted on every detail to the day of party. Food is delicious as well! Thank you Ashley and the Rosewood staff for hosting our daughter’s 1^st Birthday and for the help in making the day so memorable for us and for our family and friends. Thank you so much!

The Rosewood and its staff are the epitome of what a venue hall should be! The place is beautiful, the food amazing, and the staff are the epitome of professionals! Rick and Samantha are truly top notch and my family isn’t easily impressed so this five star rating was well deserved! We attended my nieces Sweet 16 and both worked with us, the dj, and my niece to create a fabulous, memorable evening. Because of their unending support and assistance, we focused on just having fun. We highly recommend this place and will be using the venue for future parties because it is simply a pleasure to know everything will be taken care of efficiently and effectively! Thank you to the Rosewood staff — everyone was simply awesome! Randi Ciszewski

I had my husband’s 30^th birthday party on October 17, 2015. The place was absolutely beautiful, the service was great, and the food was amazing. They were able to fit everything into my budget. I couldn’t ask for anything better. Thank you for such a wonderful event, especially Rick and Samantha. I will be using you in the future.

I came to this venue for a vow renewal as a guest and I actually thought it was quite nice. I’m a staunch believer in judging a venue by the condition of its restrooms. In this case, their restrooms were very clean and stocked with ample supplies, even though their were many in attendance for the renewal. The upstairs dining area was quite large and nicely arranged. The food was just ok. The bride and the groom had chosen a salmon, chicken francese, rice, and string beans and carrot mix. The chicken, rice, and veggies were somewhat tasteless and lukewarm, but the salmon was hot and absolutely delicious! I definitely wouldn’t mind having that again lol. The wait staff was extremely polite and I wouldn’t mind coming again or recommending this venue to others.

I planned a 60^th birthday party for my husband on New Years Eve 2015. The Rosewood was great to work with planning this event. Everything promised was delivered and more.
1. The food was amazing and delicious — complements to the chef.
2. The wait staff was friendly and attentive without being intrusive.
3. Patti was just wonderful. She took the time to make recommendations and discuss options during the planning session. The night of the party, she was very attentive and was there to make sure everything ran smoothly.
Our guests all commented that this was the best NYE party they attended in years. They could not believe how great the food was but the quantity served.
I would definitely recommend the Rosewood to everyone for any occasion, as well as, plan another party myself.
Thank you Rosewood for a very successful event!

I went to a wedding here. I’m not sure why they bothered asking how I wanted my steak cooked. My so-​called Medium Rare was cooked just as much as someone else at my table’s Well Done. The rest of the food was your average, typical banquet food. They didn’t clear our table of dinner plates and brought our the cake anyway.

I’ve been to at least 6 – 7 evens here; graduation parties, bridal showers, a wedding, a charity fundraiser, etc. The food is consistently good and the service is very accommodating. The location is really accessible, right off of rt 1. I’ve enjoyed being a guest here for many years.

Once again I attended another retirement party at this catering hall and much to my surprise, there were no surprises. Formerly know as The Manor, this is a perfectly predictable establishment. If youve ever been to a catering hall, you can close your eyes and envision this place; parquet floors, obscenely large recessed chandeliers, big round tables, rows of chaffing dishes. The bathrooms were clean, if just a bit smallish, and the service was polite, but typically rushed. I did think the food was just a smidge better than average, and they served a fine turkey at the carving station. On the downside, our particular even was on the 2^nd floor and there was a grand staircase from the smallish main lobby. Is there an elevator for elderly patrons? I would ask before expecting grandma to schlep up those stairs.

The Rosewood is a hidden gem!!! We got married at The Rosewood May 2012 and everyone is still talking about it. After visiting several reception halls, we picked the «The Rosewood» to begin our life together. Why? Because of the staff! They made us feel like we were their only client, like I was the only bride getting married that day. Our special day was special to them too! The prices are excellent for everything that we received; wedding chapel, cocktail hour and reception!!! We couldn’t ask for a better day. Thank you Patty, Danielle and Erica for everything! Words cannot express how you eased my mind. Thank you for always being patient with me and addressing my many questions and concerns. Your gentleness and professionalism, put a nervous bride at ease. We are extremely grateful for making our day more than we could ever imagine.
