Central New Jersey's premier event venue for weddings and celebrations, trusted for over 20 years — and a natural home for the fundraiser or gala your organization has been planning all year.
A gala room that works as hard as your cause does
A fundraiser has two jobs at once. It has to feel like an occasion — something guests dress for, something they remember — and it has to actually raise money and move your message in front of people who can carry it further. Our fundraisers and galas service is built around exactly that balance: a sophisticated event that seamlessly combines fundraising and awareness in an elegant and functional setting.
Elegant and functional are both doing work in that sentence. Elegant, because nobody writes a bigger check in a room that feels like a cafeteria. Functional, because your evening has a program to get through — a welcome, a speaker, an ask, a thank-you — and the space has to let that happen without a fight. We've been hosting celebrations at 60 Cottontail Lane long enough to know the difference.
Host a sophisticated event that seamlessly combines fundraising and awareness in an elegant and functional setting.
Catering is handled in-house, with a curated menu featuring exquisite flavors, so the food is part of the evening rather than an afterthought you have to coordinate from somewhere else. If your gala calls for something sweet and specific — an anniversary, a milestone, a tribute — we also make expertly crafted custom cakes for any occasion.

FEMA Approved, and preferred in Central New Jersey for two decades
Summerset Group Hospitality has been Central New Jersey's preferred event destination for over two decades, and the venue is FEMA Approved — a detail that matters to the civic groups, agencies and nonprofit boards who need a space that has been vetted before they commit to it. The business is owned by Amgad Azir, and you'll be dealing with people who have run a great many evenings like yours and know where the pressure points usually are.
We're at 60 Cottontail Lane, Somerset, NJ 08873 — easy for guests coming from across the region, and easy for a committee to visit on a weeknight before signing anything. Come see the room. It's the fastest way to know whether it fits the event in your head.
Open 24 hours, seven days a week
Our hours are Monday through Sunday, 24 hours. Gala planning rarely happens between nine and five — it happens after the day job, on a Sunday night, in the week before invitations go out. Reach us when you actually have time to talk it through.
Call (732) 684-4610 or email mailamgad@aol.com to check your date, ask about catering for your guest count, or arrange a walkthrough at 60 Cottontail Lane in Somerset. Tell us the cause, the night, and roughly how many people you expect, and we'll take it from there.
