Facilities and Capacity

This visually stunning venue was inspired by the ornate style of neo-Palladian villas, nestled among 30 acres of picturesque grounds. The property is separated into two distinct, luxurious facilities that each have their own private parking and entrance, foyer, ballroom, and powder rooms. The West Ballroom evokes a 17th-century Venetian palazzo, featuring 24-foot ceilings and intricate chandeliers. The 2,016-square-foot space has three pairs of French doors that lead to the West Terrace and The Palace grounds. The East Ballroom is a larger space with blue and gold accents, giving couples the ultimate canvas for creating their own personal touches. It has 5,650 square feet of space and can accommodate up to 600 guests. The Grand Foyer's romantic setting is a popular indoor ceremony space, with 25" ceilings and a magnificent entrance. The property is also complemented by sweeping staircases and vibrant gardens with an elevated terrace where you can host a one-of-a-kind outdoor ceremony. Additionally, spacious dressing suites are available for you to prepare for your day.

Perfect Wedding!

We loved The Palace from the moment we stepped inside. The West House ballroom is beautiful, as are the grounds, outside terrace, and cocktail hour room. We ended up having our ceremony in the Grand Foyer and as the bride, I made my entrance down the staircase, which was spectacular. We also used The Palace getting-ready suites during the day of the wedding, which were nice and very convenient.

Throughout all of the planning, Antonia was super responsive. She answered my million questions always in a timely manner and provided different options and suggestions where relevant. Not a single detail was left out during the day of the wedding. David, our maitre d, was absolutely fantastic. He kept us on schedule and always made sure that we were where we needed to be. He was dedicated to giving us the perfect day and he did just that! As the bride, I also had Vanessa as my morning bridal attendant and then Wendy as my afternoon/evening attendant, and they were both great! They were SO on top of everything and always made sure that they were helping me with my dress, bouquet, veil, and food/drinks at all times.

The guests were raving about the food, and the cocktail hour in particular was fantastic! We also added the fireworks which were absolutely beautiful and people were raving about how spectacular they were.

Overall, The Palace gave us an incredibly memorable and perfectly orchestrated wedding that we will never forget!

Best venue ever!!!!

I truly do not know where to begin when it comes to The Palace. My now husband and I fell in love from the second we drove up to this venue. We were greeted by Brigitte Hofmann, our sales manager, who warmly introduced us to The Palace. She answered our questions professionally, gave us all options and could not have been more helpful in her guidance. Our appointment(s) with her were always so enjoyable, helpful and it was our first big introduction to our wedding process. We were then introduced to our wedding planner (that The Palace provides you with) Raphaella (Ella) Bonavitacola and this woman deserves multiple awards. The most diligent, helpful, responsive, over the top (in the best way), dedicated wedding planner we've had the honor of working with. She went above and beyond for us. She kept me (the bride) sane, while helping me navigate the stresses of wedding planning. She would think of things before I even had to ask and ensured that the flow of every single detail was overlooked carefully. She always kept things fun at the end of the day and there are no words to describe how much she means to us. If you're lucky enough to work with Ella, count your blessings she is UNBELIEVABLE; and so talented. Lastly, on the day of our wedding we worked with David Parada; our maitre-d for the day/night of our wedding. Words fall short. Yet again, this gentleman went above and beyond for us. His personality was infectious, his talent was overwhelmingly apparent and his dedication to us was so visibly seen throughout the night. Every single detail was gone over with a fine tooth comb, ensuring that our vision would come to light. He was ON THE BALL the entire night, handled things without us even knowing/ realizing and every single one of our guests could see how fantastic this gentleman was. He was the man behind the magic. Biggest shout out to my bridal attendants: Wendy and Cindy they were incredible, so attentive, helpful and kept my spirits up throughout the business of the day. Joy, from guest services who was working throughout my wedding day and night was such a JOY to work with. She kept us laughing alongside our bridal party. If you are lucky enough to have your wedding or any event at the palace- consider yourself in the BEST hands. They are a fabulous, kind, warmhearted and well oiled machine. Your wedding and/ or event will epic; just like our wedding was. Thank you to The Palace for giving us the wedding of our dreams- you will forever hold a huge place in our hearts!

The Palace at Somerset Park was one of our most favorite venues to work at. The staff is so efficient there and the maitre'd, Richard, and bridal assistant, Latonya, worked together flawlessly and were so easy to work with ourselves. They helped us flow through portraits all while keeping the bride and groom from seeing each other before the ceremony. The Palace is beautiful and the food is amazing. Can we work here every weekend? ;)
