The Brownstone in Paterson, New Jersey offers weddings across multiple rooms including the all-glass Grand Conservatory accommodating up to 150 guests for ceremonies and cocktail receptions, the intimate 36-guest Cherry Room, and the Grand Ballroom for up to 400 guests.

A Wedding Venue Built Around the Grand Conservatory
Our Grand Conservatory is an elegant all-glass space designed for ceremonies and cocktail receptions. The room accommodates up to 150 guests and provides couples with a dedicated setting for ceremonies or cocktail receptions.
Room Options for Every Guest Count
Not every wedding needs 150 guests, and not every wedding needs a smaller footprint either. Our Cherry Room, with its cherry paneled walls and a marble fireplace reminiscent of the 1920s, comfortably seats up to 36 guests for an intimate occasion. The Red Room accommodates up to 75 guests and connects with the Conservatory and English Garden setting. Our Main Ballroom was newly appointed and holds up to 250 guests, while the Grand Ballroom, our largest space, accommodates 400 guests. Whatever size your guest list reaches, we have a room built for it, and our team can walk you through which space fits your vision best.
Cuisine That Guests Still Talk About
Cuisine is one of our longstanding strengths, with guest reviews frequently praising the food and the venue’s wedding menus offering a wide range of reception styles. Our menus are prepared by our own culinary team, and we bake all of our desserts on premises. Couples can choose from several wedding reception styles, including a Traditional reception, a New Beginnings package, a Buffet Reception, an Autumn menu, a Brunch Reception, a Cocktail Reception, and a Butlered Hors D’oeuvres option. These options reflect our longstanding focus on catering and expertly prepared cuisine. If your celebration needs to travel, we also offer off-site catering so the same food and service can come to a location of your choosing.
A Family Business With Decades of Experience
Our catering history dates to 1947, when Tom and Rita Clune established the business that would become the venue couples know today. That kind of longevity means that over the decades, The Brownstone has expanded to offer spaces for intimate celebrations as well as receptions with hundreds of guests. We have also welcomed the LGBTQ community since 1980, a part of our history we are proud to continue.
Planning Support From Our Team
Our wedding team can help couples discuss reception ideas, menu options, room selection, and vendor coordination. If you would like to bring in a vendor outside our preferred list, simply share their company name and contact information with your catering director so our team can coordinate with them ahead of your date. We also accommodate children and guests with special dietary needs. Guests with food allergies should discuss their requirements with our team in advance because cross-contact may occur in the kitchen.
