Central New Jersey's premier event venue for weddings and celebrations, trusted for over 20 years. A cocktail hour sets the tone for everything that follows it — the part of the night where guests find each other, the room fills up, and your celebration actually starts. We host it at 60 Cottontail Lane in Somerset.
Cocktail hour, planned from our catering menu
Cocktail hour isn't a separate product here. It's part of our catering — a curated menu featuring exquisite flavors, built with you for the event you're actually having. Some couples want a long, generous cocktail hour and a shorter sit-down. Some hosts want the whole evening to stay standing and moving. Both work, and the menu is planned around whichever one you choose.
Tell us the shape of the night — the guest count, the start time, how long you want people mingling before dinner — and we'll put the food and the room together to match. If there's a cake coming later in the evening, our custom cakes are expertly crafted for any occasion and can be planned at the same meeting, so the whole menu is settled in one conversation instead of five.

Eleven kinds of events at 60 Cottontail Lane
A cocktail hour can open almost anything we host. These are the eleven events we take bookings for:
- Weddings — exchange vows in a breathtaking setting designed for your dream wedding.
- Engagement Parties — celebrate love and new beginnings with an elegant and intimate gathering.
- Bridal Showers — host a stylish and sophisticated bridal shower with personalized touches.
- Fundraisers and Galas — a sophisticated event that combines fundraising and awareness in an elegant, functional setting.
- Birthday Celebrations — mark the milestone with a glamorous and unforgettable celebration.
- Bereavement — a private and compassionate space for remembrance and reflection.
- Work Events and Meetings — professional event spaces designed for productivity, networking, and success.
- Graduations — a proud and unforgettable milestone marking the next step in your journey.
- Prom Parties — celebrate an unforgettable milestone in an elegant and sophisticated setting.
- Catering — a curated menu featuring exquisite flavors.
- Custom Cakes — expertly crafted cakes for any occasion.
Not every event needs a cocktail hour, and we'll say so. A bereavement gathering is a quiet room and a kind host, not a reception. A morning meeting is coffee and a working space. The point is that the format follows the occasion, not the other way around.
About Summerset Group Hospitality
Summerset Group Hospitality is Central New Jersey's preferred event destination for over two decadesrun by owner Amgad Azir at 60 Cottontail Lane, Somerset, NJ 08873. The venue is FEMA Approved — a detail that matters to organizations and agencies who need that on the paperwork before they can book a room.
Twenty years of weddings, galas, graduations and proms means we've seen what makes a cocktail hour work and what makes it drag. We'll tell you honestly how long yours should run for the number of guests you're expecting.
Open 24 hours, seven days a week
Our doors and our phone line are open Monday through Sunday, 24 hours a day. That's useful twice: once when you're planning and a question occurs to you at an odd hour, and again on the day itself, when a late-running reception doesn't have to end because a clock says so.
