Catering Testimonials

Please read the following testimonials from people who have had amazing experiences working with our NJ catering department and had events that are still being talked about by friends and family.

We had our wedding at Jumping Brook on September 29, 2012. It was the most amazing experience of my life. The staff is unbelievable! Megan was with us the entire night making sure things were taken care of EXACTLY how we wanted it. She had Kevin one of her staff members (who was awesome too) cater to Ryan and I the entire night to make sure we had a drink in hand and didn't need anything. I'm telling you, people told me this was the best wedding they have ever been to! I heard so many guests talk about how friendly the staff was and accommodating to any needs. Not only that, but the food was INCREDIBLE! I had restaurant owners as guests, and they couldn't get over the quality and taste of the food. I told Ron and Megan exactly what we wanted, and they did not let us down!!! The entire experience was one of a kind, and I'd recommend this venue to any bride. Contact me if you want to hear more! I could go on and on!!! ~ Ashley Repka

Hi Ron!

I just wanted to say “Thank You!” Thank you for everything you’ve done to help plan and organize our Agency Kick off Meeting! It was perfect! I have received positive feedback from many of our guests. I have worked personally with you and Jumping Brook for a year and a half now, and whether I am planning a small event at Tillie & Willie’s Grille or a larger event in the Club, everything is always perfect. Thank you for always providing great service!

Warm Regards,

Dear Ms. Kessler:
In April of 2011, my husband and I, along with our daughter and her fiancé, came to the Jumping Brook Country Club in search for a place to have our daughter's wedding. We were greeted by a friendly young woman who made us feel so comfortable and welcome. She introduced herself as Denise Passaretti and it was from that moment on we knew that we would more than likely want to look no further for a venue!
Denise proceeded to show us around and eventually led us back to her office where we discussed further details. The news kept getting better and better and our hopes higher and higher! We knew “this was the place”!
Throughout the whole year and a half of careful and diligent planning, Denise could not have been more accommodating, patient and kind whenever we needed to consult her. Denise’s sense of confidence and heartwarming personality always made us feel as though we were the most important wedding in 2012!
The time flew by quickly and so came September 15^th, 2012; the McBride/Vultaggio Wedding. And what a wedding it was! Our Matre D’ Megan was phenomenal as was the entire wait staff. The Country Club looked so very beautiful. The dining room was exquisite! I had pointed out to both Denise and Megan how particular I was that the tables be set perfectly and they certainly were. The cocktail hour was so impressive and the food was outrageous. The lobby is so “homey” and elegant and beautifully decorated. Our guests are still raving about the whole night!
Katie is our only child and as her mother, I have always dreamed of the perfect wedding day for her. Well, my dreams came true and so much in part of because of all the efforts of Denise, Megan and the entire staff at Jumping Brook Country Club that night. I cannot begin to thank them enough! My husband I look forward to attending other affairs at the Jumping Brook since we will continue to “sing your praises” and highly recommend you to as many people as we can.
Again, thank you All for providing the best wedding reception for our daughter and son-in-law!

Sincerely,
Judy McBride

Our first visit to Jumping Brook Country Club was without an appointment in the winter of 2011 when searching for a wedding venue. Ron Podhirny, Catering Sales Manager, willingly fit us into his busy schedule during our unannounced visit. He not only walked us through the wedding experience at Jumping Brook during our initial visit, but also answered all of our questions and spent time exploring all of our options. Out of all our possible venues, my husband and I decided on Jumping Brook, due to their endearing attitude and personalized atmosphere. Ron Podhirny met with us several times throughout the wedding planning process, answering every question and attending to every detail. The Jumping Brook staff was very willing to work with us in terms of our personal requests. From the table settings with our personal photographs, to decorating the after-party room with our choice of decorations, the Jumping Brook staff accommodated our every wish. Jumping Brook provided us with recommendations for various vendors in the area, including several highly rated hotels and limousine companies. Jumping Brook also provided us with an incredible price per person, which even included beautiful rose centerpieces and a gorgeous wedding cake! Jumping Brook Country Club accommodated our personal preferences; for example, they allowed “extras” such as a photo booth that we requested to have during our reception. Throughout our special day, the staff at Jumping Brook was wonderful! They attended to my husband and me as individuals, checking in with us throughout the night to see if we needed anything to eat or drink. Our guests commented that the staff was attentive and friendly – they were thoroughly impressed with Jumping Brook! My husband and I held our after-party and morning-after breakfast at Jumping Brook, which was such a wonderful idea – it allowed our guests to have so much fun without having to worry about traveling. The location was perfect as well, as it is very close to several hotels and the Garden State Parkway, making it easy for out-of-town guests to travel to the venue and stay nearby. Overall, our experience at Jumping Brook Country Club was wonderful from beginning to end, and we would highly recommend any couple looking for a perfect wedding venue to choose Jumping Brook!

As Program VP for two industry organizations, over the past five years, I have booked numerous Corporate Holiday Parties, Dinner Business Meetings, and Golf Outings at Jumping Brook County Club. The well prepared and presented food, as well as the attention to service and details by the staff, have always been exceptional, making for a successful event each and every time. I have never been disappointed. Without any hesitation, I highly recommend JBCC.

Ron,

As the Chapter Administrator for the Jersey Shore Association for Human Resources it was my job to find a venue to host our monthly breakfast meetings when we were bounced from our previous venue over five years ago. After talking to Ron Podhirny at Jumping Brook Country Club for less than five minutes I knew this would be our new venue. Ron and the staff at Jumping Brook have made us feel welcome from day one. Whether we have 60 meeting attendees with a weeks’ notice or 120 on short notice Ron has always found a way to accommodate us. The hot breakfast buffet provided for our attendees is delicious and extensive. No one ever walks away hungry. Ron willingness to work with us to help keep costs down while still providing service keeps us coming back year after year. Out state council was so impressed with the food, facility and service when representatives attended one of our meetings that they are now looking into hosting one of their annual meetings at Jumping Brook CC. Looking forward to having Jumping Brook Country Club host our meetings for years to come.

Dear Ron,

Lauran and I wanted to let you know how much we appreciate all the work you did to make our reception special. All of our family and friends have been raving about the food and service. Thank you for being so respectful of our wishes about food and entertainment.

The night could not have gone any better! A wedding night obviously can be very stressful for the " happy couple" but because of you and your amazing staff Lauran and I had a wonderful time.
I know we will never forget that night and how great everything was!!

Love,
Lauran and John

Denise,

It really was the best day of my life on Saturday and I thank everyone there for what they did. Sean was easy to work with and the waiters were even fabulous. They always were checking in to see if we needed anything and after many hours of dancing they kept the water coming so that way great for me. Everyone on Saturday was great!

You were the best from day 1 to work with and I would recommend Jumping Brook to anyone who needs a place. Our flower girl who is Brian's niece ran over at one point during the reception and told me that she loved this place and was having her wedding there so many like 20years from now we will be back, ha ha.

I really do appreciate all that you all did so please pass this message along to all that worked with us on Saturday from the kitchen to all of you n sales that were getting the reception ready for us. I am going to miss my weekly emails to you!

I wish you all the best of luck there...they are REALLY lucky to have you so pass that along to your boss for me!

Thanks again...
Shanna and Brian

Hello Denise,

My wife and I just wanted to hank you again for the great job you did on Shanna and Brian's wedding. Everything was fantastic and we are still getting raves and compliments about what a great wedding it was. Many of the guests said it is the best wedding they have been to. The food was great, the service was great, the decor was great and the attention to details was just outstanding. Of course the bar was top shelf with quite a few thanks for the Glenlivet, you really topped my day off with that. Everyone that we dealt with at Jumping Brook really went out of their way to make it a special day and I know Shanna and Brian were just thrilled with the results. You took what can be a very high pressure day and turned it into a memorable and completely pain free experience. Please give our thanks and appreciation to everyone, and especially you, to your entire staff for a job well done.

Gentlemen;

My daughter was married and had her wedding reception at your club on June 11, 2011. I'l like to express my gratitude to the entire staff for making this most memorable occasion.

Ron Podhirny, Catering Sales Manager, was expremely professional and patient in guiding us through the various phases of the process. He was always willing to answer questions and provide direction. The success we experienced was directly due to his coorination of the various phases.

Sean, our Maitre' D, was the guiding hand during the reception dinner which was execptional. I heard only the highest praise regarding the event from our guests. All the food offered was excellent, from the cocktail hour through our day after breakfast. I have and will highly recommend the Juming Brook Country Club to everyone.

Ron and his staff deserve a very heartfelt "WELL DONE"!!!!!!
My family and I will never forget the wonderful time they helped provide my daughter and our guests.
