A Waterfront Celebration at Maritime Parc in Jersey City

On a sunlit day along Jersey City’s harborfront, Francis and his partner welcomed their closest guests to a long-awaited celebration at Maritime Parc. Their journey to this moment had been anything but simple—but thanks to a dedicated team and a waterfront wedding venue that delivered both flavor and elegance, the day left lasting memories, and more than one guest raving about cake.

Planning Experience

Their wedding journey began back in 2019, long before ceremony details or menu tastings. Like many couples looking for Jersey City wedding venues, they found themselves navigating the twists and turns of planning during a pandemic. Through it all, one constant was the professional and steady support from the team at Maritime Parc.

From the beginning, one name stood out.

"

From the start of planning on 2019, Jayd Kingston was phenomenal and professional in booking our wedding date.

..."

What followed was a process of patient anticipation. As dates shifted not once, but twice, the wedding venue remained responsive and gracious throughout a difficult time for couples and vendors alike.

"

My wife and I will always be thankful for the flexibility they provided us in rescheduling our date twice throughout the pandemic.

..."

As life began to return to normal and plans resumed, another member of the Maritime Parc team stepped in with thoughtful guidance. The couple returned to planning with fresh excitement, savoring a memorable wedding tasting that made the decision feel right all over again.

"

When wedding planning resumed, Jette helped us get back on track and we had such a great dinner for our wedding tasting. Everything we tried was delicious and we knew we made the right choice.

..."

Food & Catering

As the evening’s menu took shape, Jette worked closely with them to craft dishes that reflected their taste and culture. Attention to detail—even with special requests—was part of what made the wedding experience so seamless.

"

Jette was great in accommodating our menu requests.

..."

Among the standout details of the night, the cake earned special praise. The couple asked to incorporate ube, a vibrant Southeast Asian yam, into the dessert. The culinary team delivered in signature Maritime Parc style—with creativity, care, and crowd-pleasing success.

"

The biggest hit at our wedding was the cake. We wanted to incorporate Ube into our cake. The party chef created an Ube buttercream filling which our guests rave about.

..."

Their signature drinks, customized to reflect their personalities, added to the festive atmosphere. Personal touches like these elevated the experience, both for the couple and their guests.

"

We also tried the cocktails and selected our his + her drinks. The Maritime Punch and the San Saba.

..."

Event Team & Coordination

Execution is everything on a wedding day, and a flawless event begins well before the first toast. A few weeks before the big day, Alexis stepped in to finalize every detail of the space and the schedule with care.

"

A few weeks before the wedding, Alexis, our event planner did the best job possible coordinating our final floor plan and itinerary.

..."

As the weekend arrived, two more professionals entered the picture. Mark and Rita guided the rehearsal with the kind of precision and warmth that puts a couple at ease.

"

The day before our wedding we met our Maitre'd and captain, Mark and Rita during our rehearsal.

..."

And when the festivities began, their leadership ensured the day flowed effortlessly. Another standout on the event team, Patricia, looked after every need with thoughtful attention.

"

I cannot say enough about how great they did in running the ship for our wedding day. Our bridal attendant Patricia went above and beyond in taking care of all our Bridal Party needs.

..."

In the afterglow of the day, Francis took time to recognize just how many hands had shaped their experience.

"

I sent an email to the staff, I hope they all get the recognition they deserve.

..."

Venue Atmosphere

Of course, no waterfront wedding is complete without mentioning the view. Set against sweeping vistas of the Hudson and New York skyline, Maritime Parc offered a backdrop with natural charm and timeless appeal.

"

Held our wedding reception at Maritime Parc. Delicious food and dining views for a memorable day for us and our guests.

..."

As with any live event, a few hiccups are inevitable. On the morning of the event, an unexpected maintenance issue disrupted the air conditioning. But even here, the spirit of partnership shone through, thanks to a personal gesture from the venue’s leadership.

"

The morning of, there was only one issue that kept it from being the perfect day. They had performed maintenance on the AC the day before, and the Air Conditioning broke. The owner of Maritime Parc talked to me personally, and I can tell he was doing his best to try to get someone to fix it.

..."

Conclusion

For Francis and his partner, their celebration at Maritime Parc was more than just a wedding reception. It was a reminder of resilience, partnership, and the understated beauty that comes with a day perfectly tailored to match the couple at its center.

"

Thank you to everyone at the Maritime Parc.
