Richfield Regency

My daughter got married on May 14,2016 and it was absolutely wonderful. Trish was wonderful from the beginning to end she answered all our questions and helped us every step of the way. She was always easy to reach and returned all my phone calls. The day of the wedding went very smoothly, the cocktail hour was wonderful trays were constantly be refilled and the food was wonderful. Maria was great and assisted with all our needs. The waiters and waitresses were wonderful. We have received so may phone calls today raving about the food.
I thank them for making it a dream come true for my daughter and new son in law!!!

Had our wedding here last night. Impeccable service, food, and ambiance. My wife and I had our expectations surpassed in every way. Thank you so much Jude and Trish for making our wedding so beautiful.

My husband and I attended a wedding reception here recently. From the ease of using the valet parking, to the quality of food at the cocktail hour and reception, to the very attentive servers, everything was excellent. We’ve attended many wedding receptions over the years, and the Richfield Regency outshines most of the venues.

My wife and I had our wedding ceremony and reception at the Richfield regency and we couldn’t have been happier. It’s a very nice well maintained venue, the food was good and the staff was very helpful and accommodating. Trish handled our wedding plans and knew how to make the day feel special and was very helpful.

Stunning venue, amazing cocktail hour, amazing dessert display, lovely lighting, great staff.
I would only recommend improvement of the plated dinner. After eating the steak for awhile it got dryer and dryer, and the chicken breast was bland.
Other than the dinner, this place was lovely.

My husband and I had our wedding at the Richfield Regency at the beginning of this month and they did a fantastic job with every last detail! We worked with Trish to set up all of the details every step of the way. She did a great job bringing our wedding to life while keeping things within our desired budget. We had a Sunday wedding and they let us rent out the entire venue for no additional charge. Per request they allowed us to have an exit slider station for all of our guests to grab sliders and fries for their drives home. All of the staff was very helpful the day of the wedding with every little thing. (They made sure we were able to try all of food and drink while we were busy running around entertaining everyone) Everyone was very impressed with the food, the décor, and the helpfulness of the staff. After looking at about 30+ wedding venues throughout north Jersey we could not be happier with our decision to have our reception with the Richfield Regency! They helped plan and execute everything flawlessly for our wedding and I highly recommend choosing this as a party venue. They will bend over backwards to make sure you have the best day of your life.

If you’re on a budget it’s a great place. You feel like your in a Sopranos episode with the Godfather-​esque décor. The venue is very compartmentalized and there are a ton of stairs so be mindful of that if your guests have a problem walking them. For example the chapel is downstairs the cocktail hour upstairs, ball room upstairs but the only bathroom is downstairs. However there is an elevator. They also have valet parking.
The food was fair. Not poor. Fair. I had the salmon entrée and took one bite just to try it. I tried the prime rib hoping for better but didn’t get that at all. Not even typical wedding food. Below par. The venue spelled the bride’s name wrong on the menu.
Again if your on a budget its great because all weddings are a good time.

I was at the regency within the last 7 months and was introduced to a woman named Trish. We took a tour of the venue which was very much updated and clean! The menu was amazing! Seemed like a lot of food! The only con I had was when speaking with the woman Trish she was very moody at times and it through me off a bit! It’s not a good look! Minus the staff, place was okay!

I attended a Bat Mitzvah here and was very pleased. It was a little chaotic coming in because there wasn’t enough valet parkers working so traffic on the avenue backed up. The cocktail hour was very nice and the food was fantastic. Some of the highlights included the spicy dumplings, the coconut crusted snapper, and the staff that walked around with trays of great apps. It was very crowded in the cocktail room so it wasn’t that open to walk around. The reception area was bigger but probably not big enough for all the people that were there. The staff and servers did an outstanding job under the circumstances. They really packed them in at each table so the staff struggled but did an awesome job. My wife and I had the pecan crusted talapia with vegetables and potatoes. It was outstanding!
Overall, the food and service were excellent. However, the party was to big for that place.

Nice place for a party.
Wife and I were here for a friend’s wedding today. We arrived a little late, missed out on the ceremony but was able to enjoy some of the cocktail hour. There was an abundant amount of food with multiple stations and several bars. The staff was very attentive and kept passing items on trays throughout the hour. The fact that there were approximately 180 guests it seemed a little cramped in the cocktail hour area.
For the reception, the room we were in had approximately 18 tables and a very large dance floor. The options for dinner were Prime Rib, Chicken Florentine and Herb Crusted Tilapia. All three were served with mixed vegetables. Everyone at our table raved about their meal.
Something just seemed a little bit off. The restrooms were another level and if you wanted to get outside for fresh air you had to go downstairs, walk through the cocktail area to go upstairs to the front door.
The dessert was really amazing. They served two different plates. One was a chocolate waffle bowl filled with ice cream and bananas. The other was a warm apple tart served with ice cream, whipped cream and strawberry. Of course we also had wedding cake.
All in all it was nice enjoyable afternoon with friends celebrating a special time.

I LOVE RICHFIELD REGENCY. (Yes. I do.)
After three months (yup three!) of looking at every available venue, my husband and I finally chose our top three. We realized we wanted a venue that would hold our party and that has a huge dance floor. Our top three needs were tons of food, a good sized dance floor, and close to our ceremony. Guess which fulfilled our needs? Richfield did.
Here’s my breakdown:
Staff: Jude, Kelvin, and the rest of the staff were very accommodating. I didn’t have a wedding planner, but for some funny way, my wedding turned out like it did because of their help and attention to detail. The flow of our wedding reception was perfect.
Venue: From the chandelier to the table settings, the venue was perfect for the hot august weather. I wanted my guests to be in a comfortable romantic venue. I didn’t want a venue where all my guests have to run around and look for each other. The cocktail room was a perfect size that people can mingle or just relax in another area with ample seating and tables. They even set up a huge bridal area for my bridal party with a bartender which was awesome. As for the main ballroom– it was huge with a giant chandelier (an oval glass one, it is gorgeous– very unique.) The main ballroom had enough room to put a dj and open air photo booth, with a very large dance floor, and lighting (we saved a lot on our dj with lighting!) The venue looked like a glamorous nightclub with the lights on! Everyone loved the venue.
Food: The food was amazing. Our cocktail hour had immense food. We had 5 serving stations. Note: all our stations and entrees were picked out by my husband and I. Some reviewers complained of the food– it is because we chose entrees that we know will taste well due to the ingredients and we carefully selected them due to dietary concerns (I used to work in the food industry, hence I know more of what’s good to have.) Our entrees came out perfectly with care. No one complained about the food. My husband never orders chicken in any event, but he raved about the Chicken Valdestano to this day! We brought our own Lechon and sauces for the cocktail hour. They added apple sauce which complimented our Lechon. (The Viennese Tables wowed our guests. I’ve even brought family members who work in the banquet and events industry and they were in awe by the food and service! My friends who are hard to entertain were amazed by the food. Yes– it is that AWESOME.
My husband and I got married on 8÷23÷14. We can’t stop raving about this place. I hope this review is some form of our way to thank Jude, Kelvin, and every one in Richfield!

this place is so great for parties! my sis got married here in 1999. it hasnt changed much but its so pretty! food is good too. my fav. is the mozzarella cheese balls with seasonings and olive oil and their vodka pasta.

As a bride, I was a bit apprehensive about this place, but we were given a deal that we couldn’t pass up.
Pros:
Food was very good — I definitely recommend the crab cakes for the appetizer, although the sauce it was served with was a bit spicy. The mashed potato bar, eggplant rollatini and chicken florentine were also very good. Also the Venetian table/​hour was a big hit! They have multitude of desserts – cannolis, tiramisu, hot chocolate, cakes, pies, and more! It was amazing.
Reception room –we had our reception in the regency room, which was beautiful. It features uplighting (which has multi-​colored flashes when the dance floor is packed!) and silk flower centerpieces if you don’t want to spend money on flowers.
Nick was fantastic at our wedding. He was constantly on the go, making sure we got everything we needed.
The few times I met Raul he seemed to be very friendly and courteous.
Cons:
Our wedding coordinator, Trish, was generally a very moody person. When she wanted to be, she was generally a nice person, but I didn’t appreciate having to deal with her if she was in a bad mood and it added to my stress. Even when we originally booked the venue she seemed to be trying to talk us into things we did not want for the wedding. For instance, we wanted an outdoor ceremony, and since the venue does not have an outdoor location, she tried to tell us that an outdoor ceremony was not a good idea, tacky, etc. She was also late to the ceremony, so the other staff weren’t sure of what to do. If you can, try to choose someone else as your coordinator.
Bridal suite is extremely small. I didn’t realize the importance of having a bridal suite to get ready in until a last minute hotel emergency turned into a nightmare — I was almost late for my own wedding!
No outdoor location, chapel and cocktail rooms are very small. We had about 150 guests, and both rooms seemed pretty cramped.
Generally, if you get a good deal ($ 100-​$ 120 per plate) this place is a pretty good venue. The guests seemed happy and everything seemed like it went smoothly. If you can organize your day well, the lacking of a large bridal suite won’t make a difference. I would not recommend this place for anyone who needs gardens/​outdoor location for ceremony – this is non-​existent here. I would also stray away if you have more than 150 guests – the rooms are too small to handle it.

Attended a wedding here and it was very nice. The food is abundant and delicious, the interior space was spacious and elegant, and the overall vibe is really nice for a wedding. It was totally Jersey (opulent, ostentatious, showy, a little gaudy), don’t get me wrong, but exactly right for what it was.

Absolutely fabulous place to have a wedding. Raul is by far the best employee there. He thinks of what you don’t and walks you through every step of planning and executing a wedding. Your priorities become his priorities, he does to his best to fulfill every wish you have as a bride or groom. He anticipates your moves and wishes so that you can relax and enjoy your special day.

You need a great place call trish. endless cocktail hour, lovely dinner. I just wish the bride and groom were tended to better. My husband ate nothing.

Went to a wedding reception here on a Sunday evening. It’s your average catering hall — the cocktail hour food was decent, the main courses left much to be desired. The rooms were nice enough, and everything was clean. Service was good throughout the event.
