Park Ridge Marriott vs. Woodcliff Lake Hilton
in New Jersey
Hi ladies - I'm a Seasons bride trying to decide booking a block of rooms at either the Park Ridge Marriott or the Woodcliff Lake Hilton. From what I understand, both offer a shuttle to Seasons (which is great for guests). I just wanted to see if any of you fabulous brides used either of these for your wedding and if so, which did you choose and why? Was there a big price difference, etc.?
Also, did anyone book a suite at either of these hotels to get ready? I'm thinking about doing that... any advice would be greatly appreciated!

You could block off rooms off at both to give guests a choice. Every invitation I've ever received had at least 2 options.
FI and I stay at the Park Ridge Marriott all the the time when we visit NJ (we now live in Buffalo, NY, but are getting married in NJ). It is nice. Nothing special, but exactly what you'd expect from a full Marriott. The rooms have always been clean and had ample room. There is an Aveda salon so if some of your guests want to get their hair done, they can do it right on site. The gym is above average.
My 2 complaints: 1. It was difficult to get in touch with the person I was coordinating with. I often worked with her assistant, who in my opinion, was way better anyway. 2. There was miscommunication between our coordinator and the front desk for the room H and I stayed in the night of the wedding. Contract said king + middle suite area but front desk said king room only. Turns out we got charged for the suite anyway that we didn't even use! They would not refund us.
[QUOTE]I am also getting married at seasons and blocked rooms at the courtyard in Montvale. It's been renovated recently, the staff, Amy, has been extremely helpful, they offer a shuttle, there's a great restaurant in the hotel, we get a free room with 10 rooms booked and a free suite with 20 rooms booked. I would recommend checking them out.

</div><div>I absolutely will! You'll have to report to me after your wedding and let me know how everything went lol I love hearing from other Seasons brides. Mine isn't until September 2014 so I still have a year and a half left!</div>
[QUOTE]I got married at Seasons and we used the Woodcliff Lake Hilton. We had a day wedding so the night before we rented 2 bedroom suites for each the girls and guys to stay and get ready in. The bar was a great option for everyone to get together after since the wedding ended early. My 2 complaints: 1. It was difficult to get in touch with the person I was coordinating with. I often worked with her assistant, who in my opinion, was way better anyway. 2. There was miscommunication between our coordinator and the front desk for the room H and I stayed in the night of the wedding.

<div>That's good to know, thank you! I would love to hear more about your experience with Seasons. I've been told nothing but good things but I still like to hear about former brides :)</div>
[QUOTE]I'm using the Woodcliff Lake Hilton. I've stayed there before and I think it's a little better than the other option that the Seasons offers. They are very easy to work with. My wedding at the Seasons ends at 1am and the Hilton is going to keep the bar open later than normal for us.

<div>Ahhh good luck at your wedding! Mine still isn't for another year and a half (September 2014) but ours ends at 12:30 so it's good to hear that they'll keep the bar open late if we need it. Thank you :)</div>
Did you make a decision on which hotel you'll be using? I've been thinking about visiting both of these locations to get more information and would love to hear what you think about them!
