Wedding DJ at Catering by Masso’s in Glassboro, NJ

The Space

Masso’s has operated as a catering and event center since 1929, making it one of the oldest family-owned businesses in the region. Started by Nick and Joseph Masso, the business has passed through four generations of family knowledge and expertise. The property encompasses multiple distinct spaces across four different banquet facilities: The Red Pine Inn, The Wedgewood Room, The Orchard Garden, The Manor Park and Garden, and The Grand Wooded Falls.

The collection of spaces means flexibility in how couples stage their day. Some rooms are formal indoor banquet halls with chandeliers and polished surfaces. Others are outdoor ceremonial parks surrounded by mature trees, providing natural backdrop and shade. The combination gives couples genuine options: stage a ceremony outdoors in the gardens with the light filtering through established trees, then move indoors for reception, or conduct the entire event in a single cohesive space. A waterfall feature is available as a backdrop for ceremonies, adding movement and sound to outdoor settings without requiring external rental.

Capacity & Layout

The venue can accommodate up to 500 guests across all spaces combined. The multiple rooms and outdoor areas mean the layout can be customized to your guest count and vision, intimate ceremonies in a garden setting under the oaks, or larger receptions in the banquet halls that feel spacious rather than crowded. The collection of spaces allows for separation of ceremony and reception areas while keeping everything on the same property, eliminating guest transition time between locations.

The Orchard Garden, Manor Park, and Grand Wooded Falls provide outdoor flexibility, while the Red Pine Inn and Wedgewood Room offer indoor shelter and formal atmosphere. The combination allows ceremonies under open sky and receptions under roof.

Amenities

Masso’s offers full catering on site and manages all food and beverage service directly. This simplifies coordination, one vendor relationship instead of juggling separate catering and venue contracts. Tent rentals are available for outdoor events, covering ceremony or reception areas if weather threatens. The business is licensed and experienced, having served the tri-state region for nearly 95 years through multiple economic cycles and social changes.

All-inclusive wedding packages are available that cover catering, rentals, and tent services, bundling the major cost categories and simplifying budgeting. Off-premise catering is also available if couples want to use Masso’s food and bar service at a venue elsewhere in the region. Bar service is included with your rental, with selections ranging from beer and wine to full liquor and signature cocktails.

Location & Getting There

Glassboro is in southern New Jersey, in Gloucester County, roughly 25 to 28 miles from Philadelphia International Airport. The area is semi-rural with good highway access via I-676, making it reachable for guests driving from the Philadelphia metro area, South Jersey, and Delaware Valley. The central location puts it within reasonable distance of Philadelphia for the city crowd and closer to Atlantic City for coastal guests.

The indoor banquet halls have good ceiling height and built-in or adaptable support for hanging light and sound systems. Speakers can be mounted on existing structure or placed discreetly in corners to avoid visual obstruction. The outdoor ceremony spaces will benefit from portable sound reinforcement to reach guests under open sky or under tree cover where sound naturally attenuates.
