Marinaj Banquets & Events

Had a wonderful evening celebrating my daughter's Debut (18th birthday). They had a great customizable package and good food. Everyone was helpful in making the night run smoothly and the crystal ballroom was gorgeous.

Where do I start, I wasn’t even going to consider this venue but Kristen assured me I should come in person to see the place and discuss prices. When I arrived I was blown away by the huge chandelier in the crystal ballroom. I loved that they included the major settings (tables, chairs, linens, utensils, food, bar, DJ, lighting, etc). We were able to end our event at 1am which other venues need to end by 10pm. We also had our ceremony at the veranda at the marinaj which was perfect. Kristen was SUPER helpful along the process and always replied to my emails within 24hours. The staff was super sweet and always made sure to ask if we needed anything. Our bartender did amazing!!! The cleaning staff as well, I don’t remember the woman’s name who was working that night but she helped hold my dress while I used the restroom! Unfortunately our DJ had a family emergency but they had another DJ who was able to help us out and did an amazing job. The event manager that night was also super helpful and I loved her attitude. I honestly can’t complain about anything every single person who worked that night was amazing ( I really wish I remembered everyone’s names). The venue is beautiful and it’s a must see!

When looking for venues for my wedding, Marinaj stood out as one of the most elegant places in the I.E. Their customer service and professionalism from start to finish was definitely one of the big reasons why we decided to book with them. As a bride, I felt heard and they were always very clear on what they offered. You can definitely tell that their management team knows what they are doing, and when I had any questions or concerns they did a great job of working with me. I loved that there were different packages to choose from and they never pressured me to have anything that I did not want. We opted for an all-night open bar and our bartender did an amazing job of catering to our guest's needs. Their servers were professional and very attentive. Everything was very clean and you can tell that they do not cut corners when it comes to details. The DJ was great and connected with me days prior to getting a feel of the vibe that I was going for and he definitely delivered. Marinaj's team did an exceptional job of being super detail-oriented with my seating chart, food plating, song playlists, decor details, playing a slideshow of our pictures, and most importantly the schedule for the day. I did not have a wedding planner and I still felt that my day went smoother than I could have even imagined all thanks to their team. Some of my concerns when doing research for this place were: -There are two banquet rooms adjacent to one another, will my event be interrupted by the one next door? Answer: NO! I completely forgot that there was even another event going on next door. -Is the food good?! Answer: Having a Hispanic mom and guests who are used to very well seasoned food, I was nervous about this. BUT they schedule a tasting for you a couple of weeks before so that you can choose what you like most and they have a good variety! This calmed my nerves because I was able to choose food that I knew my guests would like. We went with the Chicken Picatta and the 6-hour Braised Boneless Beef Short Rib (MY favorite, highly recommend) and it was all delicious. -Is it going to be super expensive? Answer: They are VERY reasonably priced. Their customizable packages allow you to move things around so that you can stay within your budget. -Will there be enough parking? Answer: YES Just like with any event, last-minute things will come up, but I have no complaints. They did an exceptional job at delivering quality service and products. I highly recommend this venue.

I loved everything about this place but the audio set up. It was hard to impossible to hear people talk sometimes. There were moments where no one on the table could decipher anything said. The venue itself is gorgeous though!
