“We had our wedding at Skyview Golf Club, and I truly can’t say enough great things about the entire experience — from the very beginning of the planning process all the way through to the big day. Our coordinator, Jenn, was absolutely amazing. She and her team went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly. Jenn was organized, responsive, and incredibly supportive throughout the entire process. Her calm and confident presence made planning so much less stressful, and on the day of, she was a total rockstar — making sure every detail was perfect so we could just relax and enjoy the moment.

“We could not be happier with our decision to have our wedding (and rehearsal dinner) at Grain House at The Olde Mill Inn! Our experience started with a venue tour with Lindsay who was so lovely and helpful in answering all of our questions. She continued to help us with questions about planning throughout the year and a half since we booked the venue. At the wedding tasting night, we felt so special and pampered, and met all of the great Maitre D’s! We were so grateful to be assigned David as our Maitre D’. We had a meeting with him to finalize our menu and felt so taken care of by him! He was absolutely amazing in helping us through the last few months of wedding preparation, and was there for us on the day of our rehearsal & our entire wedding day, making sure everything went perfectly. The entire serving staff was also so friendly and professional. Besides the INCREDIBLE people who made our day so seamless and special, the venue itself is gorgeous and unique. I can not recommend this wedding venue enough. We loved our Grain House wedding and will cherish our special day and the staff who made it that way forever. Thank you David, Lindsay, and everyone at Grain House!”

“Bridgewater Manor was an incredible venue for our wedding. Alyssa was amazing - she was very prompt in returning our emails and phone calls, and was incredibly helpful in answering all of our questions throughout the planning process. On the day of our wedding, Alyssa was extremely attentive and made sure I was ready for the ceremony, even helping to put my husband's boutonniere on correctly. I was very nervous right before walking down the aisle, but Alyssa was there to calm my nerves. Adele was also fantastic all night long - he made sure we had food and drinks during cocktail hour and was available to assist us with anything we needed. I never had to hesitate to ask Adele for help. The entire Bridgewater Manor team contributed to making our wedding day so special and stress-free. We are so grateful for their incredible service and attention to detail.”

“A Dream Wedding at the Ryland Inn We couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful and convenient venue than the Ryland Inn for my daughter’s wedding day. From the stunning location to the seamless flow between the ceremony, cocktail hour, reception, and photo opportunities—all in one place—it made everything so easy for us and our guests. We didn’t have to travel anywhere, which allowed us to truly relax and enjoy every moment. The service was absolutely exceptional. The entire staff was warm, professional, and genuinely kind. They were attentive to every detail and incredibly accommodating, going above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. Being able to get ready on-site made the day even more stress-free and special. A special thank you to Giana Phillips, our amazing event stylist. She was incredibly responsive and helpful throughout the entire planning process and on the big day. She anticipated our needs and handled everything with grace and care. It truly was a day to remember, and we are so grateful to the Ryland Inn for helping bring our vision to life so perfectly. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a top-tier wedding experience.”

“Nicole was a clear standout from the moment we chatted with her during our venue tour. She was attentive to all of our questions and requests, making the planning process seamless. On the day of our wedding, we had the entire venue to ourselves which was amazing. We leveraged the ballroom side for ceremony and cocktail hour and used the lodge side for reception. Both sides of the venue were warm, grand, and inviting - the perfect backdrop for our special celebration. The team supported us with every aspect, ensuring our in-the-round ceremony arrangements were perfect and that all of our guests were comfortable.

“We got married at Neshanic Valley Golf Course in October 2025. It was the most gorgeous day and Julia helped everything come together perfectly, leading up to and including the day of. From the outdoor ceremony, to the patio cocktail hour and incredible reception (and after party!) everything was perfect. We were able to bring in the vendors of our choice and everyone worked so well together - with Julia being able to provide her best guidance. She worked well with our wedding planner and helped us make great decisions knowing her experience with the flow of how the day goes and considerations from the venue perspective! We had 137 people, brought in a stage and the reception space was the perfect size. After seeing the stage, I was slightly nervous but made the floor feel full and the goal was dancing all night long. We also had so many compliments on the food - especially at cocktail hour - and never ran into any issues with a drink line forming. The band sounded incredible in the space and everything was truly perfect. I highly recommend having your wedding at Neshanic!!”
