About Us

Location.  50 Gibson Place, Freehold, NJ 07728  Directions

The Crystal Ballroom and Emerald Ballroom banquet venues at the Radisson Freehold, NJ are located in the middle of everything, but once you’re here you’ll feel like it’s a million miles away. This Monmouth County, New Jersey wedding and banquet venue is convenient to Princeton, Trenton, Manalapan, and the Jersey Shore. We’re about halfway between New York City and Philadelphia, but we’re chock full of Jersey pride.

Contact us here or call (732) 780-3405 to book a personal tour. Crystal Ballroom is the cream of the crop, and you deserve nothing less. Here’s what sets us apart from our sister Hotels Unlimited banquet venues (and from the competition)…

What sets Crystal Ballroom apart

Expand All

Large weddings, mitzvahs, and events

+

Think big. The Crystal Ballroom can accommodate a large number of guests – ask us for complete capacity information. Time for you to register for more gifts!

Small weddings, mitzvahs, and events

+

Think small. Are you worried about event minimums? Don’t fret! Radisson Freehold, NJ is also home to the Emerald Ballroom. Just like the Crystal Ballroom, the Emerald Ballroom has polished glamour and chandeliers so gorgeous they make your heart skip a beat, but it’s scaled perfectly for intimate events. Visit our photo gallery to see pictures of the Emerald Ballroom. You may not even know which ballroom is which!

Ceiling Cove Lighting

+

Add this Accessory to your wedding, mitzvah, or other event package, and choose from an almost limitless array of color choices coordinated to your event. Crystal + Emerald Ballrooms offer you ceiling cove lighting to frame and illuminate every chandelier, casting the perfect aura around you and your honey as you dance your first dance. Visit our photo gallery to see lighting photos from real NJ weddings and events. It’s wildly gorgeous in photos… and a hundred times more stunning in person! Great lighting changes everything. Wall wash lighting is also available to illuminate your special day even more.

Chiavari chairs

+

If you follow wedding and event trends, you’ve heard all about chiavari chairs. At Crystal Ballroom, you can opt for ghost chiavari chairs as an Accessory to your wedding, mitzvah, or event package. These semi-transparent sculpted resin chairs diffuse light beautifully. We also offer sleek, modern, fitted chair covers with wraps and jewel clasps in both black and white (and other colors upon request). Frumpy, ill-fitting, old-fashioned chair covers and bows are a thing of the past at the Crystal Ballroom Freehold banquet hall.

Indoor and outdoor wedding ceremonies

+

It’s your big day… don’t you want to go out and play? The Crystal Ballroom Radisson Freehold wedding hall is one of the Hotels Unlimited wedding venues with both outdoor and indoor ceremony space (also available at Sterling Ballroom in Tinton Falls, Windsor Ballroom in East Windsor, and Grand and Regal Ballrooms at the Sheraton Eatontown Hotel). Say “I do” in our lush garden and fountain area (also a great photo spot) while your loved ones watch (and cheer!) seated comfortably under the cover of our portico. If the weather misbehaves, have no fear. Our event pros can move your ceremony indoors to the Crystal or Emerald Ballroom. We’ve got you covered. Bet you’re dying to see pictures! Visit our photo gallery to see ceremony photos from real weddings.

Outdoor patio

+

Outdoor patio. Ready for the lap of luxury? Your guests will be agog and aghast when they’re invited to sip cocktails and nibble passed hors d’oeuvres in our plush outdoor patio area. This Crystal Ballroom exclusive is a favorite new addition to our Accessories to personalize your event. You’ll never want to leave!

Contact our exceptional catering team or call (732) 780-3405 to find out more, book a personal tour, and see for yourself.

It's all about the team

+

Welcome to the family. The Crystal + Emerald Ballrooms at the Radisson Hotel Freehold are two of our Hotels Unlimited banquet venues in central New Jersey and the Jersey Shore region. Our sister venues share a passion for empowering event planners like you… a philosophy of excellence… and a healthy dose of sibling rivalry (Crystal + Emerald Ballrooms are the best!). When you book a Hotels Unlimited wedding, bar or bat mitzvah, or any other event, you’re in good – and impeccably manicured – hands.

You don’t stop worrying about your event once the banquet venue is booked… and neither do we. Our team is on call to hold your hand every step of the way, and our 24-hour responsiveness pledge guarantees it. And once you’ve found someone to obsess with, it’s so much easier to relax!

Foodie tested and approved

+

At Hotels Unlimited, we offer the same wedding, bar and bat mitzvah, sweet 16, and other event menus at all five New Jersey banquet venues (with some local variations). This allows us to put five times as much love and care into crafting our menus to perfection! That’s five-times the mouthwatering variety and five-times the obsession with food trends and perfect pairings. We don’t just have cupcakes… we have eight different cupcakes in our Baker’s Delight station. We have twelve different syrups in our Italian Soda Bar station. The list goes on… Obsession has never tasted so good.

Bragging rights

+

Since 2011, Hotels Unlimited have won 40 TripAdvisor Certificates of Excellence, awarded to the top 10% of hotels nationwide, and their banquet venues have won 84 consumer choice awards from The Knot, Wedding Wire, and New Jersey Bride, awarded to the top 2%-5% of wedding professionals. A million thanks to all of our brides, grooms, and event planners whose stellar reviews made these awards possible!

Hotels and banquet venues - so happy together

+

Everything is just easier when your banquet facilities and hotel rooms (and even your wedding ceremony) are all under one roof. Plus, our team will be there to make sure everything goes seamlessly from dusk till dawn. Trust us… your guests will thank you.

Reviews We Love

  • Everything was perfect from start to finish!! I fell in love with the venue and a few days after my tour, I booked! When COVID came, I was very nervous about how the venue was going to proceed with postponements. They were so accommodating and allowed me to postpone with zero hassle. From the booking, to the postponement, to the menu detailing, they were quick to answer all of my questions and provided guidance and clarity during so much uncertainty. Their generous and caring attitude made me realize that my event was in good hands and that I had nothing to worry about! All of our family and friends raved about how amazing the Cocktail Hour food and service was and I agree! Prior to the reception, they brought my fiancé and I into the ballroom so that we could see it all set up and it was absolutely beautiful. They checked in with us throughout the duration of the reception to ensure that we were satisfied with everything. The servers were phenomenal and made sure that all of our guests were taken care of. It truly was the best day ever!!

  • All our family and friends enjoyed the beauty of the fountain, reception hall and also the food! My husband and I kept saying we wouldn’t want to change a thing about our wedding!

    — Christina + Steven, Edison, NJ
  • They are simply wonderful! I was nervous and clueless going into this, and they were amazing! The catering sales team answered every question within minutes of my email being sent! They made me feel totally ready for our big day!!

    — Kimberly + Brett, Howell, NJ
  • From the moment we toured, to the moment I was walking down the same entry way in my wedding dress, I felt that the Crystal Ballroom was the perfect place for my wedding. Having the hotel attached made it that much easier! Our guests were able to go to the room and freshen up throughout our reception, and then we ended our night at the hotel bar. You couldn’t ask for more. If you are reading this and considering touring or booking this venue, I urge you to go!!! Lauren is literally amazing! And Sam made our night exactly what I had envisioned. They are a dream team!

    — Kathryn, January 2019, Wedding
  • As we all know planning a wedding is stressful and crazy, but these amazing women were with us every step of the way. The staff answered all emails and phone calls promptly, ensured that every detail came out the way that we wanted, and were always pleasant and happy to help! They always went above and beyond, and I could not be more grateful. It was a pleasure working with the Crystal Ballroom, and we highly recommend them. Not just for weddings but for all functions. They were truly a blessing to work with! We have made friends for life with the staff and will continue to update them on our journey.

    — The Abrahams, Married March 9, 2018
  • The team at the Radisson hotel were extraordinary throughout the entire process! They made our dream wedding come true and stress free. They answer your questions quickly, recommend fantastic vendors, and they make your ideas into a reality. We had multiple people traveling from out of town and the hotel staff made accommodations easy for everyone. All of our guests were pleased with the entire night! Thanks a million!

    — Joanna and Antwarn, July 2017
  • It was wonderful experience all the way through! Everyone in the office was a pleasure to work with and always answered any questions I had in a timely and efficient manner. My fiance and I do not reside in New Jersey, but this was no issue as the communication with the Radisson was effective and consistent. They always provide reminders and really help create an event that meets or exceeds expectation! Thank you Sydney, Lauren, and the rest of the team for providing me and my fiance a wedding to remember!

    — Dana, June 2017, Wedding
  • Our experience with this venue is beyond words. From the start they were nothing short of spectacular. They were very attentive, answered all emails promptly (usually within a few hours!) which was extremely important to me. We felt very comfortable asking them questions as their responses were always friendly and professional. Our wedding was everything we hoped for and more and it is because of all of the sweet, caring people who work at this venue.

    — Jennifer, December 2016
  • There aren’t enough wonderful words to say about how perfect our wedding day was on 7/17/16. Sydney and Lauren were beyond amazing throughout the entire wedding planning process. They were there to answer all of our questions with certainty, clarity, and speed! Sue was so helpful giving her opinion when I asked and giving me honest answers. On the wedding day, we were blown away with how beautifully the room was set up. It was truly more gorgeous than we had envisioned and it was because of the amazing ladies who helped bring my ideas to fruition! The overall experience was just perfect, and we are so sad that the day is over, but we will always cherish the memories from our picture perfect wedding. We HIGHLY recommend selecting the Crystal Ballroom for your wedding day.

    — Amy + David, July 2016 Wedding
  • My husband and I were so happy with the Crystal Ballroom! Not only is the venue gorgeous, but the service is over the top!!! They go above and beyond for you to make your wedding experience as stress-free as possible! I highly recommend them! Sydney and Lauren were awesome to work with. They made everything so much fun!

    — Heather, Freehold, July 2016 Wedding
  • Sydney, Melissa, and Ashley from the catering office were also outstanding! Every detail was perfect and our guests are still raving about the venue – how beautiful everything was, how well timed and organized the entire event was from beginning to end, the amazing food, and beautiful ceremony set up. Sue, our maitre’d was AMAZING. Every single detail, every decoration, every menu item was PERFECT. I cannot even state in words how thankful I am to the staff of this venue.

    — Kim, March 2016
  • I was very much impressed, as were my guests due to the countless amounts of compliments I received. Not only was the venue beautiful, but the staff made the event flow seamlessly. The event could not have taken place without the immense help and dedication from the catering staff. Any questions I had, they were always quick to answer, any doubts or nervousness I felt, they squashed it right away, and I felt calm and confident going into the day of. I cannot thank them enough for helping make my day as wonderful and special as it was. I truly felt like a princess and would not change anything about that day!

    — Andrea + Kevin, August 2015
  • Every time I saw them they just wanted to make sure I was happy. All I had to think about on my wedding day was that my dress was on, hair and makeup were done. Everything else from rounding up my bridal party, flowers, centerpieces, rings, seating chart, additional guests, EVERYTHING was taken care of by their staff.

    — Bride + Groom, June 2015
  • Everything was elegant and above our standards. The royalty service that we received allowed us to see why The Knot considered this venue the best for weddings. I attended my friend’s reception here a few years ago and was impressed, but being on the other side as the bride, I was taken away. Having the ceremony, cocktail hour and reception all in one location was convenient for our out of town travelers. Our guests kept saying that they never have attended a wedding like ours!

    — Nadirah, July 2015
  • The entire staff were just amazing to work with, they made the whole experience very personal! They are there with you every step of the way through your ceremony, and it’s so important that you trust the people you are working with when planning a wedding, and I had no doubt the Catering crew had our best interest in mind at all times! We trusted them completely throughout the whole process!

    — Casey, May 2015
  • These three women, Andrea, Sydney, and Judy, will treat the bride like one of their best pals and make sure she has everything she could dream of. They went out of their way to make special time to meet with me. They honored their word at every turn, and they were selflessly available whenever I needed them.

    — Stephanie, March 2015
  • They made wedding planning a pleasure, and I wish I hadn’t worried so much because they took care of everything! I truly enjoyed working with each and every one of them and now that the wedding is over I will miss them terribly as I consider them to be my friends! They made our wedding even more memorable!

    — Gina, December 2014
  • I am so happy we decided to have our wedding at the Radisson of Freehold in the Crystal Ballroom. Tara, Sydney, & Andrea (the girls who helped me organize my wedding) were extraordinary. They never left me hanging with a email or phone call. They cut the stress of planning a wedding in half.

    — Laura Rose, October 2014
  • What an unbelievable time!! My wedding was beyond my wildest dreams. The staff Andrea, Tara, and Sydney were great to work with and made the planning easy. Thanks girls!!

    — Lauren, October 2014
  • The team at the Radisson Hotel are top notch! All the girls in the catering office were extremely helpful the whole way through, and it was amazingly easy to plan this wedding with their help.

    This was a great venue. Everyone had SO much fun, the food was actually great, and it was overall a perfect experience.

    — Michelle, August 2014
  • Hands down the best decision I made for the wedding was choosing the Crystal Ballroom at the Radisson Hotel in Freehold, NJ! All of the staff is absolutely amazing, they make you feel so comfortable and worry free and accommodated me every way possible.

    — Mr. + Mrs. McGotty, August 2014
  • They took their time with every detail and never made us feel foolish for any questions (which we had a lot) we had to ask them. They were extremely flexible to our needs. They always made us feel special and were excited to see us! The day of the wedding, everyone raved how beautiful the room was and that the food was delicious!

    — Christina, May 2014
  • Our experience at the Radisson was truly incredible. As a mother of the groom who was very involved in the planning of my son and daughter-in-law’s April 2014 wedding in the Crystal Ballroom, I was very impressed by the level of service that was provided to us from beginning to end.

    — Amy, April 2014
  • The absolute second my husband and I walked into the Crystal Ballroom, we knew that it was where we wanted to spend our wedding day. Everything about the ballroom was absolutely breathtaking. The chandeliers were gorgeous and the location was perfect.

    — Kristina, April 2014
  • The cocktail hour was extravagant. People could not stop talking about how much and how good the food was. The night of the wedding the staff is so attentive to the bride and groom, you won’t have to worry about anything! The venue is beautiful and well kept and your guests will think you paid a fortune.
