You can book restaurants, bars, rooftop spaces, private studios, and even party boats. Restaurants like Sushi by Bou and Luna are great for more private dinners, while larger venues like Vanilla Skies or Oxford Studios are great for bigger guest lists and dancing.

Yep, and it's actually a popular move! Several waterfront venues offer yacht rentals, like the Luxury Private Yacht at The Waterfront, where you can sip cocktails with a front-row view of the Manhattan skyline. Prices for these start around $1,160 per hour, so it's definitely a splurge, but if you're into that "celebrate like you're in a rom-com" vibe, it totally works.

Most venues let you personalize the space a bit, especially private hire venues like Barrow Mansion. You'll want to double-check if things like candles, confetti, or hanging installations are allowed (some spots are strict about fire safety or wall damage). But for the most part, you're free to bring in flowers, table decor, or even a photo wall if that's your thing.

Jersey City has more than just standard bars and restaurants. Want a creative twist? 123 Lex Venues Events is a small, artsy spot where you can actually paint while you party. Or go all-out with a studio space if you're leaning into a DIY photo booth, signature cocktails, and a playlist kind of vibe. There are even rooftops and galleries available for rent if you want to keep things a little fancy but still personal.
