I'm going to start by saying we are floral designers who have been in the industry for 13 years combined. We have worked alongside some of the best industry professionals in the area and Avery and the Johnson's Locust Hall Team are by far the best! Our wedding was perfect. But more importantly, the attention and care leading up to the day from Avery is what truly made the experience special and quite frankly emotional. We just went back to the venue to pick pumpkins and are still reveling in the emotions of the day. Such a sweet family and location. Our guests had such a wonderful time each space we entered. I could go on and on about how perfect every detail was but instead i'll just say book this venue for your wedding or event, you will have such heart filled memories the rest of your life. Thank you Avery, Allie and the entire staff for giving us the best day of our lives!

As someone who has spent the last 11 years in the wedding industry, I've had the privilege of working at countless venues and seeing some truly incredible spaces. What's remarkable about Founders Grove is that somehow Denise and Amber have taken the very best parts of so many venues and thoughtfully brought them together into one place. The venue itself is stunning. Every detail feels intentional. From the flow of the property to the beauty of the ceremony and reception spaces, it's clear that this wasn't just built to host weddings. It was built to create experiences. The space feels elegant, welcoming, and incredibly versatile while still maintaining a warmth that makes it feel personal. What truly sets Founders Grove apart, however, is Denise and Amber. Denise has a calming presence and a genuine passion for serving couples. You can feel how deeply she cares about every person who walks through the doors. Amber brings an incredible vision, attention to detail, and energy that is reflected throughout the entire property. Together, they are an exceptional team whose love for what they do shines through in every interaction. My team at OnTheBeatFX had the honor of serving as the exclusive entertainment vendor during Founders Grove's opening weekend, and we were able to meet countless couples, families, and friends. The feedback was overwhelmingly positive. People weren't just impressed by the beauty of the venue. They felt welcomed, cared for, and excited about the experience being created there. For couples considering Founders Grove, know that you're not simply booking a beautiful venue. You're partnering with people who genuinely care about your wedding and are committed to helping create meaningful memories for you and your loved ones. With love, OnTheBeatFX

From our very first interaction, Lauren was outstanding. She was warm, responsive, organized, and genuinely cared about making our day perfect. Throughout the planning process, she kept everything simple, stress-free, and smooth—exactly what I had hoped for. Her communication was always timely, and she made sure every detail was thought through. Nothing was overlooked. On the big day, Lauren truly delivered. The setup was flawless, the flow of the day was seamless, and she managed everything with a calm, professional presence and a constant smile on her face. I didn’t have to worry about a single thing—she had it all under control, which allowed us to truly relax and soak in every moment. Our wedding was everything we dreamed of and more, and a huge part of that is thanks to Lauren and the beautiful setting at Swan Lake Resort. I truly can’t say enough good things about the entire experience. If you’re looking for a stunning venue with top-tier support, we highly recommend Swan Lake and Lauren Dabney.

My partner and I had the best experience working with Deyna Hamilton from Manayunk Brewing for our wedding reception! From the moment we booked the space a year prior, Deyna was so hands-on with us and helped with everything along the way. Every time we met, she kept us on track and helped us organize our to-do list and was such a pleasure to work with. She clearly has a ton of experience with planning and organizing events, and on the day-of, Deyna made sure we had the most carefree and fun time! The cocktail hour & reception space were perfect for my husband and I. We hosted about 80 people, so everybody had a lot of room to mingle and have drinks and dance. We chose to do stations for dinner, and they were a hit! Everybody told us how much they enjoyed the food during the cocktail hour and reception. The chef at Manayunk is very good! Deyna helped us choose all of the food in the months leading up to our reception which was also a load off our minds! We had a great time utilizing the bridal suite in the hours before our reception - it was a great space to have drinks and snacks with our family, put together some of our decor, and get ready. Deyna and the other staffers helped us tremendously by putting together the reception & cocktail hour space with all of our decorations, flowers, and photos. Deyna provided recommendations for vendors, so it was easy to choose a DJ (John Cicala from Silver Sounds) who already knew the venue! We can’t recommend Manayunk and Deyna enough. They were so wonderful to us! Thank you for everything!

Everyone commented about the incredible food - that just flowed. Portabello fried mushrooms- truffle French fries- meatball sliders- scallops- lobster buns- short ribs with mashed potatoes. Amazing!!! People mingled and made connections. It was so much fun. It wasn't stiff- people got up and moved around. The drinks were delicious- and a wonderful desert tray to end the night. Caelin Murphy and her team are a knockout. So easy to work with - friendly and accommodating. It's a pretty place that has wonderful food and you can look out over the balcony into the town.

Lisa was extremely professional, communicative, and helpful. On the big day, she made me feel so at ease knowing that she had everything covered and I could confidently just relax and enjoy the day. Also the rest of the wedding venue staff were amazing and super sweet. Ash Mill was everything we were looking for and more!

Thank you Allison (sales/catering director), Jordanna (sales/catering coordinator), Nemo the maitre d, Andrew the front desk at the hotel, and Stephanie of the banquet staff. This wedding was a team effort! I want to thank all of these people for working so hard to make our dream wedding become a reality. Allison was amazing, she responded to all of our emails, our millions of questions, even sometimes in the middle of the night. She even informed us of a promotion to help us save and obtain a complimentary Sundae Scoop station. The food @ Sterling Ballroom was fantastic. We had an elaborate cocktail hour which our guests are still talking about. One of our guests said she “ate her weight” in spanakopita, and multiple guests were commented on both the quantity and quality of the food. Our entrees were delicious(NY strip steak and ginger Salmon), and our guests seemed to enjoy their entrees (above options plus boursin cheese roasted chicken breast). The Sundae Scoop featured an ice cream bar complete with all the sundae toppings and Belgian waffles!! The cake provided through the venue from Chocolate Carousel, was moist and delicious in addition to being stunningly beautiful. We also chose to splurge on the perk-up station which came with coffee, espresso, fun dipping options, and featured a variety of liquors to pair! We only considered venues attached to a hotel. Sterling Ballroom is located at the DoubleTree by Hilton Tinton Falls/Eatontown, NJ. We wanted to make sure that our guests had an option to book at the venue so that they could retire to their room whenever they felt the need. In our immediate party we utilized standard rooms, junior suites, the bridal suite (only during day time of the wedding day) and the presidential suite. All of the rooms were newly renovated and attractive. Not only did they look good, but the rooms were well adorned with ample power supplies including usb charging ports. The Presidential suite was a huge selling point. This was an elaborate suite and could sleep up to 6 guests in the room and even had a fireplace! The night before the wedding, my bride-tribe had a sleepover in this suite to make sure we were ready bright and early for our early morning makeovers! At 6:30am, the bridal suite/lounge was ready for us to do our hair and make-up and looked absolutely spectacular. I am a major fan of elaborate chandeliers and the bridal lounge had one! The bridal lounge had 4 salon chairs, several refrigerators for storing food, and also a wine refrigerator. The venue even provided us with a complimentary bottle of champagne! One of our girls organized a brunch in the suite, catered by Joe’s Bagels, and there was plenty of space for the whole spread in addition to all of our gear getting ready for the big day! While my ladies were getting ready in the bridal lounge, the groom's squad were getting ready in the Presidential Suite! This was huge because I wanted to make sure that the men had a place to get ready and take good pictures lol! I am a sucker for pretty chandeliers and the Sterling Ballroom had gorgeous chandeliers not only in the main ballroom, but also the event foyer and the cocktail space! The entire team did a wonderful job decorating the entrance area and ballroom. I would recommend this place not just for the beautiful esthetics, but also for the fantastic team that was an honor to work with on our special day!
