My husband and I had our wedding here in February 2024. It was exactly what we wanted and our family and friends were blown away. The staff were so helpful and made sure everything went smoothly. We loved all the food and the cocktail hour was awesome. Our guests are still talking about it. This was the first venue we ever saw and the second we walked in the venue we instantly knew it was the one and we did not look anywhere else. The venue is beautiful. We want to give a special thank you to the outstanding staff especially the bridal attendant and maître d'. We are so happy we picked il Tulipano for our wedding day it was one of the best decisions we ever made.Sincerely,Colleen & Davide

We had a surprise 80th Birthday, there is a reason Il Tulipano is in business 40 plus years!! The food was OUTSTANDING, with impeccable service and meticulous attention to detail at every turn!! The entire staff was amazing, Michael makes you feel like family, simply THE BEST!! I give Il Tulipano the absolute highest recommendation!

My husband and I booked our wedding here in May of 2023 and we just married in December. We happily met Carlos for our initial appointment and we knew in mere moments that this was the venue for us. Wanting a "smaller" wedding (less than 150 people), he worked to build a package for us that fit our numbers - both within our budget and minimum guests. In the months that followed, Carlos and Joellen were beyond accommodating answering our questions and meeting us for appointments with our vendors. With no events booked the day before and the day after our wedding night, they let us set up our ceremony decor early (4 Christmas trees) and break them down the next morning. Leaving us to truly enjoy our whole night with no worries as the event came to an end. My guests and vendors raved about the delicious food, attentiveness of the staff and overall joyful and beautiful atmosphere. It was truly the best day of our lives. We can not thank il Tulipano and the entire staff that made our wedding so magical enough. Absolutely do not hesitate to visit this spectacular venue.

Translated from the Italian meaning tulip, Il Tulipano is a catering establishment for special occasions (wedding, christening, shower, anniversary) located in Cedar Grove. First timers here as my partner and I attended his office holiday party yesterday given by Royal Packaging. Upon arriving off of Pompton Ave., the outside area sparkled in its holiday colors, going into their valet parking. Once inside, stepping into their glass-enclosed entrance, a huge Christmas tree awaited us with views of the bar and 1st floor banquet room leading out to a breathtaking outdoor piazza for wedding ceremonies. The cocktail hour began with the staff walking around with the various plates of hor d'oeuvres. Followed by buffet-style hot and cold appetizers. For our main meal, there was a choice of chicken, beef, and salmon, accompanied by carrots and Brussels sprouts that were cooked to perfection and super fluffy mashed potatoes. All the food on our carefully selected menu is cooked to perfection, and we are still raving about it. The portion of meat was tremendous and fork tender. Each plate presented at our table was cared for as if it were the only dish ordered. To end the night, a dessert dish of mini samplers with the decorated Christmas tree was offered. Presentation is important to their kitchen. Bravo! I got a chance to meet the owner, Michael. Every single staff member worked like a fine-oiled machine, producing a high-quality experience. It was truly an unforgettable experience for us, and we can recommend this place.

We held a birthday party at il Tulipano on Oct. 28th, 2023. First, I must acknowledge the SUPERB customer service we received from Chef Mario. He is heaven sent. He catered to our every need. Nothing was too much for him to include. Anything extra we needed he went above and beyond to accommodate us. He is so down to earth and truly wants the customer to experience an amazing and memorable event, which we did! The venue space is absolutely stunning and great for any event. The food and drinks were delicious. They will craft any menu you want. The service was A-1 and the wait staff were very friendly and courteous as well as helpful. I would NOT hesitate to recommend this event space; your event will be wonderful, and your guest will rave about everything. If you are considering il Tulipano to host an event, do it, you won't regret it. We are definitely satisfied customers and look forward to having more events there.
My mom hosted my bridal shower at il Tulipano and it was perfection! Working with Michael was a dream - he listened to us, was patient, and so accommodating. The day-of coordinator (I believe her name was Nancy) was also incredible to work with. The food was delicious (with huge portions), the service was top-notch, and the attention to detail was unmatched. The room on the first floor was so beautiful, light, bright, white and tastefully modern with access to a beautiful bar and outdoor area. I highly recommend il Tulipano and will be back for my baby shower after the wedding lol

We went here for an event for my other half's job, and it certainly did not disappoint!The food was absolutely excellent. Cocktail hour included chicken and sausage which was phenomenal, sliders, mac and cheese squares, deep fried mozzarella, clams casino, Buffalo cauliflower, battered shrimp, and spring rolls. All were wonderful. Steak at dinner was cooked perfectly. It was well-seasoned, tender, and sides were flavorful and well-done.The bar staff was top-class. Drinks weren't watered down and were made perfectly. I would recommend the old fashioned. All staff were attentive, polite, helpful, courteous, and kind. The decor was elegant, cleans, and classy. Restrooms were spotless.Would recommend!
