Kosher & Glatt Kosher Weddings Near Monsey & Bergen County, NJ
Planning a kosher wedding means finding a venue that understands your traditions, welcomes your caterer, and gives your family the space to celebrate exactly as you wish. At Old Tappan Manor, we’ve done exactly that for over 30 years. We’re not a kosher caterer — we’re the elegant setting near Monsey and Bergen County that welcomes your Glatt Kosher or kosher caterer, accommodates your mashgiach, and honors every tradition from the bedeken to the last note of the hora. Here’s how a kosher wedding works at the Manor.
How Kosher Weddings Work at Old Tappan Manor
Here’s the honest, practical answer many couples are looking for: at a kosher wedding, most food is prepared by an outside kosher caterer, off-site and under proper supervision, then brought to the venue. That means the venue’s real role is welcoming that caterer and providing the space, access, and service to make it seamless. That’s precisely what we do. You bring your certified Glatt Kosher or kosher caterer — or we’ll point you toward experienced caterers we’ve worked with — and we handle the setting, the layout, and the flow of your day. Your celebration meets your standard of observance, in a venue built for beautiful weddings.
What We Provide for Your Kosher Celebration
A Welcome for Your Caterer
We welcome approved outside kosher and Glatt Kosher caterers. We provide the delivery access, preparation space, and service areas your caterer needs to work properly on the day, so the food your family trusts is served beautifully.
Accommodation for Your Mashgiach and Standards
We’re glad to accommodate a mashgiach and the supervision your celebration requires. Raise your kashrus and observance needs at the start of planning, and we’ll arrange the logistics, timing, and vendor access around them.
Space for Every Tradition
From a tish and bedeken before the ceremony, to a chuppah beneath our signature waterfall or in our grand ballroom, to spirited hora dancing after, our spaces are made for the full arc of a Jewish wedding. If your celebration calls for a mechitza or a particular seating arrangement, we’ll design the room layout to honor it.
An Evening That’s Exclusively Yours
We host one event at a time — something observant families especially value. Your wedding is the only celebration on the property, with complete privacy and our full team devoted to you. No shared spaces, no second event down the hall.
A Setting Worthy of the Occasion
Beyond the logistics, this is simply a beautiful place to marry. Our grounds feature an illuminated 20-foot waterfall and manicured gardens for your ceremony and photographs. Our grand ballroom, with crystal chandeliers, soaring Palladian windows, and a spacious dance floor, comfortably holds up to 350 guests with genuine room for a lively hora. It’s tradition and elegance, together.
Minutes from Monsey, Rockland County & the Tri-State Jewish Community
One of the things that makes Old Tappan Manor ideal for a kosher wedding is where we are. We sit right on the New Jersey–New York border, a short drive from the region’s largest Orthodox and Jewish communities. We’re roughly 15 to 20 minutes from Monsey, Spring Valley, Airmont, Wesley Hills, and Pomona in Rockland County, and just as close to Teaneck, Bergenfield, Englewood, and New Milford here in New Jersey. For families coming from the greater Rockland community, the Hudson Valley, or across the tri-state area, we’re an easy, convenient setting — close to home, yet a world away in elegance. Your guests travel a short distance; you get a grand celebration.
