THE PALACE AT SOMERSET PARK

The Palace at Somerset Park, a spectacular new event complex designed to serve New Jersey’s social and corporate communities, is now open in Somerset. Set on 30 landscaped acres, the Palladian style mansion offers 72,000 square feet of conference and event space. This is truly a palatial setting for social galas, business meetings and celebrations of every kind.

The luxurious and flexible venue will comfortably host from eight to 860 guests. The first floor of the new facility is designed for weddings and other gala events, while the second floor features cutting-edge conference facilities with a range of impeccably appointed boardrooms and training facilities, built to meet the stringent standards of the International Association of Conference Centers (IACC).

The building’s design is inspired by the Palladian style of architecture. Guests approach the mansion over a private bridge, past mature trees and green lawns. Secluded, secure, The Palace at Somerset Park offers privacy, serenity and exclusivity for both social and business events.

The stunning interiors provide an opulent and graceful background for any event. Crystal chandeliers, rich fabrics and fine art accent the building’s magnificent ceilings, grand staircases, balconies and ornate fireplaces. The complex offers both lavish ballrooms and smaller private suites, to accommodate every type of event. Outdoor terraces and patios, overlooking the landscaped grounds, are ideal for seasonal events.

The Palace at Somerset Park sets new levels of culinary excellence. Cuisine, staff and service are under the direction of two of New Jersey’s leading young chefs, Culinary Director John Halligan and Executive Chef Walter Leffler.

The Palace at Somerset Park is located at 333 Davidson Avenue in Somerset. Its central location is close to New Jersey's corporate hubs and the area's leading academic centers, including Rutgers and Princeton Universities.

The complex is just 35 miles from Newark Liberty International Airport, easily accessed from Route 287, the New Jersey Turnpike and the Garden State Parkway. Major shopping, entertainment, sports and recreation facilities are within a 10-30 mile radius. Several fine area hotels provide a total of 1600 sleeping rooms.
