Celebrate With Ease at Novellas
Our approach is simple. We provide everything on site, catering, bar service, decor, and event coordination, so your family can focus on the moment instead of the details. Many parents tell us they appreciate how effortless it feels from start to finish. With two hotels next door and a full-service team in place, the entire experience stays convenient for both you and your guests.
A Ballroom Designed for Every Style of Celebration
The heart of any celebration at our Mitzvah party venue is the ballroom. With capacity for up to 250 guests, chandeliers overhead, and a built-in stage and dance floor, it’s a space that adapts to every part of your event, from candle lighting to dancing and toasts. Our professional light and sound systems make it easy for entertainers or DJs to set up quickly, keeping the energy smooth and the room lively all night.
Outdoor Patios Perfect for an After Party
When the formal program ends, the celebration doesn’t have to. Our two patios stay open after your event, so guests can unwind by the fire pits or continue the fun outdoors. Teens often take to the terrace while parents enjoy conversation under the string lights. With music and lighting still active, it feels like an easy transition instead of an abrupt close.
Food That Guests Remember
Every mitzvah meal is prepared by our in-house culinary team, led by Executive Chef Michael Garnero, a Culinary Institute of America mentor and educator. His kitchen delivers restaurant-quality dishes using fresh ingredients and customizable menus. Whether you choose a buffet, plated dinner, or themed stations, the food is always served with care and flavor that guests notice.
What’s Included With Every Booking
Your mitzvah package covers the essentials: tables, linens, silverware, glassware, and china, plus lighting, sound, and coordination by our professional staff. Families also enjoy access to a private suite for the day, perfect for storing items, quick touch-ups, or a quiet retreat. With everything handled on site, setup and cleanup become effortless.
Location and Lodging Made Simple
Novellas sits just off the New York State Thruway, between Hampton Inn and America’s Best Value Inn. Guests can walk from their rooms to the party and back again. It’s a small detail that makes a big difference, especially for families with out-of-town guests or teens attending without parents.
