What Families Often Need from a Memorial Luncheon Near Cherry Hill, NJ

When families come to us in the early stages of planning, they usually have the same core questions. How much space do we have? Will it feel private? Who handles the food, and how does the day flow? This section walks through all of it, so you can make decisions with confidence.

Private and Semi-Private Spaces That Fit the Gathering

We offer both private rooms and semi-private spaces, depending on your guest count. Private rooms accommodate groups with a minimum of 50 guests and up to 175, depending on the room. Semi-private spaces work well for smaller gatherings, with a minimum of 18 guests.
​
Private rooms are set with ivory linen tablecloths. Semi-private spaces come with white linen tablecloths. Both options give your guests a dedicated event space for the gathering. Access to your event space begins one hour before the event start time, giving you room to settle in before guests arrive.

A Luncheon Menu with a Clear Planning Path

The banquet luncheon menu is available for parties of 18 or more, with start times from 11:00 AM to 2:30 PM. Every luncheon includes fresh-baked bread and butter, a garden salad, and a choice of three entrées served with the vegetable and potato of the day. Assorted cookies and biscotti round out the meal.
​
Families can also review additional options such as salad enhancements, a pasta course, dessert enhancements, and beverage additions. Entrée choices include Grilled Salmon, Prime Rib Au Jus, Chicken Marsala, Chicken Parmigiana, Chicken Florentine, and pasta options such as Cheese Ravioli in vodka blush sauce and Penne Primavera in a light garlic cream sauce. Special entrées are available based on individual needs.
​
A champagne or sparkling cider toast can be added if you would like to offer one. For bar service, we offer open bar, consumption bar, and cash bar options.
