Sterling Ballroom at the DoubleTree Tinton Falls

Sterling Ballroom did not disappoint. From the staff, to the food, to the atmosphere. Everything about this place was exceptional. They did an amazing job making my wedding the perfect day. And the attention to detail on the decorations was more than I could have asked for. Not to mention the helpfulness and kindness of the staff made planning a wedding at this venue an absolute pleasure and a breeze. Allison and Nemo knocked it out of the park. This is a highly recommended venue for any special event or occasion.

Thank you Allison (sales/catering director), Jordanna (sales/catering coordinator), Nemo the maitre d, Andrew the front desk at the hotel, and Stephanie of the banquet staff. This wedding was a team effort! I want to thank all of these people for working so hard to make our dream wedding become a reality. Allison was amazing, she responded to all of our emails, our millions of questions, even sometimes in the middle of the night. She even informed us of a promotion to help us save and obtain a complimentary Sundae Scoop station. The food @ Sterling Ballroom was fantastic. We had an elaborate cocktail hour which our guests are still talking about. One of our guests said she “ate her weight” in spanakopita, and multiple guests were commented on both the quantity and quality of the food. Our entrees were delicious(NY strip steak and ginger Salmon), and our guests seemed to enjoy their entrees (above options plus boursin cheese roasted chicken breast). The Sundae Scoop featured an ice cream bar complete with all the sundae toppings and Belgian waffles!! The cake provided through the venue from Chocolate Carousel, was moist and delicious in addition to being stunningly beautiful. We also chose to splurge on the perk-up station which came with coffee, espresso, fun dipping options, and featured a variety of liquors to pair! We only considered venues attached to a hotel. Sterling Ballroom is located at the DoubleTree by Hilton Tinton Falls/Eatontown, NJ. We wanted to make sure that our guests had an option to book at the venue so that they could retire to their room whenever they felt the need. In our immediate party we utilized standard rooms, junior suites, the bridal suite (only during day time of the wedding day) and the presidential suite. All of the rooms were newly renovated and attractive. Not only did they look good, but the rooms were well adorned with ample power supplies including usb charging ports. The Presidential suite was a huge selling point. This was an elaborate suite and could sleep up to 6 guests in the room and even had a fireplace! The night before the wedding, my bride-tribe had a sleepover in this suite to make sure we were ready bright and early for our early morning makeovers! At 6:30am, the bridal suite/lounge was ready for us to do our hair and make-up and looked absolutely spectacular. I am a major fan of elaborate chandeliers and the bridal lounge had one! The bridal lounge had 4 salon chairs, several refrigerators for storing food, and also a wine refrigerator. The venue even provided us with a complimentary bottle of champagne! One of our girls organized a brunch in the suite, catered by Joe’s Bagels, and there was plenty of space for the whole spread in addition to all of our gear getting ready for the big day! While my ladies were getting ready in the bridal lounge, the groom's squad were getting ready in the Presidential Suite! This was huge because I wanted to make sure that the men had a place to get ready and take good pictures lol! I am a sucker for pretty chandeliers and the Sterling Ballroom had gorgeous chandeliers not only in the main ballroom, but also the event foyer and the cocktail space! The entire team did a wonderful job decorating the entrance area and ballroom. I would recommend this place not just for the beautiful esthetics, but also for the fantastic team that was an honor to work with on our special day!

I can’t express enough how AMAZING Allison is. From the tour to the day after the wedding she was there, on top of it all. I was an out of state bride planning and I couldn’t have asked for better people, to be there assisting me along the way! Jordanna stepped in later in the process and picked up as if she was there all along, just AWESOME! Absolutely great responsiveness and communication from the catering sales dept! Nemo, our Maitre D, was GREAT!!! He made sure every detail was taken care of, made sure my husband and I were okay throughout the entire cocktail hour and reception. He handled everything and even made sure all of our personal decor was packed up and set for us to take home. The entire Doubletree staff from the front desk staff to house keeping were awesome! We spent a week there away from home and felt just at home. We were greeted by the front desk and Allison and Jordana whenever we saw them throughout our stay. Definitely a team who operates in excellence! If I had to do it all over again I’d choose them, AGAIN!

I cannot say enough good things about this venue. Allison was amazing to work with from the beginning and was so accommodating with our concerns and wishes. Nemo, our Maitre D, was unbelievable as well! He listened to all of our design and flow ideas for the day and set everything up beautifully. He ensured everything ran smoothly and is probably the most gentle and compassionate person I’ve ever met! Such a kind soul. The food was amazing, and everyone was raving about it! Sterling Ballroom served as a one stop shop for us - the hotel, getting ready (bridal suite + presidential suite *which by the way is humongous and gorgeous and where we slept Friday and Friday night*), ceremony (both outdoor and indoor options, which btw our outdoor ceremony got rained out 30 min before ceremony and they made a game time decision to frantically set up the indoor ceremony space for us so beautifully and it was perfect!) cocktail hour, reception and after party in the collar lounge plus breakfast the next morning. All our guests loved the venue so much and found it to be super convenient that everyone was in one place. They recently renovated the hotel and it is gorgeous and whimsical. From the hotel to catering staff, everyone was so helpful and easy to work with start to finish. I highly highly recommend Sterling Ballroom!!
