About Meadowlands Racing & Entertainment
Meadowlands Racing & Entertainment — Unique Entertainment Venue
Meadowlands Racing & Entertainment in East Rutherford is a world-class entertainment complex where live horse racing and over 128,000 square feet of versatile event space create an event experience that is simply impossible to replicate anywhere else.
The Victory Terrace Rooftop is the crown jewel for wedding receptions — an upscale open-air rooftop with unparalleled views of the entire New York City skyline, from the Hudson River to the Midtown towers, with the Meadowlands racetrack below and the western sky blazing at sunset. For cocktail hours, the Trackside space on the ground floor offers a vibrant atmosphere with direct views of the live racing action. The Skybox Suites provide private stadium-style seating overlooking the track.
“We wanted something that didn't look like every other wedding in NJ. The Meadowlands rooftop with the entire NYC skyline lit up behind us — our guests were blown away. No one had ever been to a wedding anything like it. They're still talking about it.”
