You can substitute, upgrade, or even work with our chef to customize a menu for you. Some people use our menus as is, and others use them as a guideline to get started. I heard that the center of your dance floor rises. At the Magnolia Inn in Matawan, the center of the floor rises, and it is decorated like a wedding cake. Our ratio is 1 server per 20 guests, or 1 server per 2 tables.
Some customized menus necessitate more, and some customers elect to pay more for more staff.
We use 1 bartender per 80 adults. Yes, we do provide cocktail service at weddings and b'nai mitzvahs. When the wait staff are not serving or clearing a course, they are providing cocktail service. At the Magnolia Inn in Matawan, we have a formal garden, complete with flowers, gazebo, umbrella tables, and a functioning antique fountain. The Reception Center in Holmdel has the East Gardens adjacent to the Hall, and the Enchanted Forest which is a lush, green woodlands surrounded by wildflower and butterfly gardens.
