About The View
The View sits at 201 Lincoln Park Drive in Jersey City, inside the park established in 1906. The site has been the social heart of Lincoln Park since Casino in the Park opened in 1950, and ByLandmark founders Jeanne and Frank Cretella rebuilt it as a timber structure that reuses the stone façade, antique fixtures and timber beams of the 1929 Lincoln Lodge. The Fountain Ballroom holds up to 200 guests for an indoor ceremony and reception, with glass doors that open to the gardens and fire pits. After the reception, the celebration can continue in the Lincoln Room or on the Sunset Rooftop.

What Makes The View Unique
Many couples at The View hold the ceremony and the reception in the Fountain Ballroom. Guests head out to the park for cocktail hour and portraits by the pond while the room turns over, then come back in for dinner and dancing as the sun sets over the water. That flow calls for a DJ who handles ceremony sound, keeps music going through the turnover and has the dance floor ready the moment guests walk back in. When the night isn’t over, the after-party can move to the Lincoln Room or the Sunset Rooftop.
Packed Dance Floors at The View
We know how to turn a reception at The View into an unforgettable party. From your grand entrance down the aisle and your first dance under the chandeliers to the last song of the night, we read the room and build energy naturally so the dance floor stays full.
Planning Your Wedding Entertainment at The View
The Fountain Ballroom is a big, bright room. Its 16-foot ceilings, timber beams and walls of glass look stunning, and they also shape how sound carries. We set speaker placement and levels so toasts are clear in every corner and the dance floor has real energy without overpowering dinner conversation. Then we plan your introductions, dinner sets, toasts, special dances and open dancing around the timeline your Event Stylist sets.
Ceremony and reception in one room means timing matters. We map the ceremony, the turnover during cocktail hour and your grand entrance in advance with your Event Stylist and photographer, bring ceremony audio that keeps vows clear, and keep music playing as guests move between the ballroom and the park so the night never stalls.
- Book your DJ early. Popular Saturdays in May, June, September and October often fill a year or more in advance.
- Share your must-play and do-not-play lists, plus your ceremony and first-dance songs, during your planning meeting.
- Consider uplighting to warm up the timber beams once the sun goes down, or a live sax or violin set for cocktail hour.
- Getting married in winter? From January through March, The View adds seasonal touches like a hot chocolate bar and a sparkling sendoff, so ask us about music to match the cozy, festive feel.
