Capacity & Layout

The Imperia offers genuinely grand scale across its 40,000 square feet and three stylish ballrooms, giving couples room for celebrations of nearly any size. The largest, the Cristal Ballroom, spans 7,592 square feet and can accommodate up to 750 guests, making The Imperia ideal for grand weddings, while the additional ballrooms suit mid-size and smaller celebrations. Couples can sip cocktails on the private stone patio and enjoy the magnificent waterfall garden with its marble gazebo for the ceremony or cocktail hour, before celebrating the reception in one of the elegant, chandelier-lit ballrooms. The dramatic grand staircase, with its extraordinary light sculpture and rain curtains, gives guests a stunning arrival and photo moment. That flow from a waterfall-garden ceremony to a grand ballroom reception gives the day a natural progression and a genuine weather plan. That combination of three grand ballrooms, an up-to-750 capacity, and a waterfall garden makes The Imperia suited to large, glamorous weddings as well as more intimate celebrations, all in one luxurious Central Jersey setting.

Amenities

The Imperia pairs its grand scale with genuinely comprehensive, full-service amenities. The venue offers a spacious dance floor, premium liquor, a selection of table linens, valet parking and coat check, an on-site wedding coordinator, and extensive AV equipment, so much of the day’s logistics are handled under one roof. Skilled at American, South Asian, and International weddings, the venue accommodates kosher-style options and vegetarian menus, and welcomes live music and DJs, making it genuinely versatile for every kind of celebration. The dramatic grand staircase, light sculpture, wrought-iron railings, rain curtains, stone patio, and waterfall garden with its marble gazebo give photographers a luxurious, dramatic range of backdrops.

Location & Getting There

The Imperia sits at 1714 Easton Avenue in Somerset, New Jersey, in Central Jersey and conveniently accessible to New York City. That location is a genuine advantage for a wedding weekend, since guests coming from across Central Jersey and the NYC metro have an easy drive, and Newark Liberty International Airport is within reach for anyone flying in, while Somerset and the surrounding area offer abundant hotels, restaurants, and attractions for out-of-town guests. The Central Jersey setting, close to NYC, keeps everything convenient and easy to plan around. Yet the venue’s grand interiors, dramatic staircase, and waterfall garden give the celebration a luxurious, elevated feel once you arrive.
