Ophir and Violeta Carmel are excited to invite industry vendors and potential hosts to the newly remodeled Riverview Ballroom for a grand opening reception on Thursday, February 29, from 4 to 8 p.m. You will be able to envision your own simcha there as you nibble on kosher refreshments, listen to music, and see how beautiful the rooms look when set up. View the sunset and the New York skyline from Riverview’s outside patio.
Riverview Ballroom has large open spaces and more intimate rooms. For weddings, there is a suite for the bride, rooms for the bedeken and tish, and a grand space for dinner and dancing. In nice weather, the outdoor patio is a great spot for the ceremony or shmorg.
Riverview Ballroom, formerly the Palisadium, can hold up to 700 comfortably, with gorgeous views of New York City and plenty of parking. It has become a sought-after location for simchas, corporate and nonprofit organization events and fundraising dinners. It is conveniently located in Cliffside Park, New Jersey, and there are several hotels nearby where the Carmels have arranged discounted rates for overnight guests of event hosts.
Simchas can be challenging to arrange, with so many different parts to the event. Party planners are welcome, or select vendors yourself, including your choice of caterer. Ophir and Violeta Carmel are happy to make suggestions. You can use their in-house florist and décor specialist, or bring in your own. All events include tables and chairs with linens, even if Riverview has to special-order the linens; liquor and wine with premium open bar, glassware and place settings; attendants for coat check and bathrooms; and bartenders. Valet parking is optional. Riverview can also provide wait staff service on request if not available from your caterer.
Riverview Ballroom offers buffet or sit-down dinner options.
Keep your eyes open for info about upcoming entertainment events. The Carmels have lots of ideas. including comedy club nights, concerts with Israeli performers and challah bakes.
