Greate Bay Country Club was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. Their communication style was organized, thorough, and professional throughout the entire planning process. The quality of their work and overall value was exceptional - the venue was clean, beautiful, and incredibly well-kept. On our special day, the venue looked absolutely gorgeous, and the staff, led by the amazing Danielle, were 5 steps ahead of us the entire time, keeping us on track. The day after the wedding, the venue staff had already organized all of our belongings together, making it super easy for us to pick everything up. And our guests raved about the delicious food!

Our wedding on May 2nd at Grand Oaks Country Club was truly beyond anything we could have ever imagined and was easily one of the best days of our lives! From the very beginning, Margaret was incredible. She answered every single one of my (many) questions with patience and care, making the entire planning process feel seamless and stress-free. The staff went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and taken care of, and that level of attention carried through to the wedding day itself. Everything ran flawlessly, allowing us to fully enjoy every moment with our friends and family. One of the most exciting surprises was the venue's recent renovations. We originally booked without knowing about them, and we were blown away when we saw the updates (especially the stunning new floor to ceiling windows) in the main ballroom, which made the space feel even more elegant and bright. The food deserves its own spotlight. Our guests are still talking about how amazing everything was! From cocktail hour to dessert, every detail was executed perfectly. The grounds are absolutely gorgeous as well, and our photos came out stunning. You would never even guess you're on Staten Island. We truly wish we could relive the day all over again. If you're even considering this venue, do not hesitate to book it! You will be so happy you chose to celebrate one of the most important days of your life here.

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. Our guests told us the food was out of control amazing! Like they are still talking about it. (I say our guests because my husband and I had like 7 bites of food the entire experience lol.) We are so grateful to the entire Stone House team for helping to make our wedding day truly unforgettable.

Don’t overlook the Short Hills Hilton for your wedding! It was the perfect location for our big day, offering a central gathering spot where our guests didn’t have to worry about traveling throughout the day. We explored several traditional venues, but none felt as right as this one. We had a November wedding and didn’t expect to have an outdoor ceremony, but the hotel’s lovely patio space was a wonderful option, and surprisingly, the noise from the JFK Parkway wasn’t an issue. For our indoor ceremony, the venue features a permanent enclosed tent structure. At first glance, it didn’t seem like much, but with the help of the event coordinator Vivian Cohen’s help and coordination with our florist, the space was transformed into something breathtaking. The reception space was spacious and perfect for our 170 guests—large enough for everyone to feel comfortable but not so big that it felt empty. Guests still rave about the food and service! The chef and maître d' truly deserve all the praise. The hors d’oeuvres were diverse and delicious, from sliders to a pasta bar to sushi. We chose the salmon and short ribs for dinner, which we selected during a private tasting session. The hotel grounds, filled with foliage, were perfect for photos, especially as we were lucky to have beautiful fall colors for our shoot. Victoria at the Hilton was incredibly helpful with coordinating room blocks, hotel room gift bags, and storage. Vivian was a dream to work with—she was welcoming, communicative, and made everything run smoothly. Her checklist was a lifesaver for keeping track of details, and she was hands-on with day-of coordination, ensuring everyone knew where they needed to be and helping with the little touches that made everything perfect. We couldn’t have asked for a better venue or team to help make our wedding day unforgettable!

Before it became our beloved event venue, the historic Crystal Plaza was originally a residential mansion. The initial Livingston, New Jersey-based residence was built in the late 1800s by famed architect Stanford White, who was responsible for designing the Tiffany building on Fifth Avenue, the original Madison Square Garden complex among other landmark structures. While the restored building has since been reincarnated as one of the leading wedding and event spaces in the tri-state area, it still maintains the feeling of its 19th century grandeur. Our impeccable, white-glove service begins the moment you arrive. Crystal Plaza hosts only one event at a time, ensuring that our dedicated team focuses singularly on you and your every need. From the elegant Grand Ballroom boasting numerous chandeliers (how the Crystal Plaza name came to be) to the lush gardens that change beautifully with the seasons, there are myriad backdrops to complement your wedding, social affair or corporate event.

BREATHTAKING! The Park Savoy just so happened to be the very first wedding venue that my husband and I viewed, and from the moment we stepped inside we just knew this was the one - it immediately felt like home. Sam greeted us at the door and never left our side throughout the entire process, from the first tour to the big day. Working with Johanna was an absolute breeze, she is absolutely amazing at what she does! Danny, our Maître D', was outstanding and really kept everything moving like a well-oiled machine; and our amazing team of bridal attendants were truly top-tier. Everyone that we had the pleasure of meeting and working with at The Park Savoy were true professionals and treated us like we were family. No other venue that we toured even compared to how the staff at The Park Savoy made us feel and how absolutely beautiful the venue is, we’d make the decision to choose The Park Savoy again everyday if we could. Having been able to secure our date, Friday, February 14, 2025 (the 4 year anniversary of my husband and I’s first date ), we loved that we were able to have access to the property, especially the bridal suite, for the entire day (MAJOR PLUS imo). From the time that we got to the venue the morning of to the time that we left, our entire bridal party barely had to lift a finger. The system that the staff have in place to communicate with each other throughout the day is like having your own personal secret service, which I absolutely loved and appreciated; again, the entire staff here are outstandingly organized, professional, and just know how things are supposed to be done. All of the food is absolutely delicious, you literally can’t go wrong with any of the selections - the Cocktail hour and Viennese hour are PHENOMENAL! Our wedding guests still talk about the food. *Pro tip: take advantage of the private cocktail hour with your spouse, having this private time to soak everything in and truly enjoy this time was one of my favorite moments of the day* Even when you go back to the venue the morning after, the staff will have all of the extra food - from Cocktail hour, entrees, Viennese hour ( any leftover cake), to anything left over from your “to-go” stations - wrapped up perfectly for you to take back home and enjoy with your partner (it took almost 2 weeks for us to get through all of the extra food). Our entire experience with The Park Savoy was amazing, “thank you” does not even begin to describe how appreciative we are of everything that the PS staff did to make our wedding day the best day of our lives. I don’t think we’ll ever truly come down from the cloud nine-feeling that The Park Savoy created for us ️

OMG. Liberty House was the most perfect venue for our April 2026 wedding. From our first meeting with our memory maker, throughout the entire planning process, to the day of our beautiful wedding – we were so confident in our decision to choose Liberty House. Casey was so responsive, reliable, and reassuring. Even as a type A anxious bride, I never felt overwhelmed or uncomfortable dealing with the LH team. Even without a perfect view of the city skyline (it was rainy and cloudy on our wedding day), the Liberty Room space was perfect for our wedding with about 90 guests. The rain actually ended up being a blessing in disguise – since no one was outside on the patio, our dance floor was absolutely packed all night. Our timeline was curated and executed perfectly in time with the natural flow of the evening. Our event stylist, maitre d, and bridal attendants on the day of the wedding went above and beyond to make us feel the most special. Another thing that sets Liberty House apart is the guest experience. Our guests still have not stopped raving about the food, drinks, and overall positive energy of the space and team. Our vision was brought to life and genuinely reflected our love and spirit as a couple. So if you are considering Liberty House, I would recommend them 100 times out of 100.

We knew we wanted to host our wedding in Jersey City so our guests could enjoy the skyline and the water views. After viewing multiple venues, we landed on Maritime Parc for 7/20/24 and it was the best decision we made. Our wedding planning ran smoothly because we worked with Maritime’s team. Working with Priscila, the sales manager, was like working with family. She was available whenever I needed her which made getting answers to questions quick and easy. She went above and beyond her role. This venue offers a classy food tasting and cake tasting at their restaurant. Even though they host weddings every weekend, they made us feel that ours was very special and important. We appreciated working with Alexis on our timelines and floor-plan. She was very organized and thought of all the little things that we never would have!! Our day of Captains and Bridal Attendant, Marc, Rita and Patricia were the best!! Always there when we needed them and so so kind. My family members raved about their helpfulness. The entire staff at Maritime (servers, bartenders, valet, etc) were professional and attentive. It is rare to have such good and consistent service at a wedding. Lastly… the FOOD. What other wedding venue serves Scallops over braised short ribs?? None! Choose Maritime for a stress free wedding year!

Megan, the director, is an absolutely dream to work with. quick responses, explains everything clearly, a sweetheart. Hotel is super clean, the food is amazing and the staff were lovely. The Maitre De went missing a lot throughout the day, to the point where my uncle had to find her whenever i needed. They set up & cleaned everything up for us which was lovely. the hotel bar stayed open late (sunday wedding) but you couldn’t make it private. so you had people at the bar trying to add to an open tab. you get a room block, the director of rooms Rebecca is very easy to work with as well. the outdoor ceremony space is gorgeous!!!

My husband and I held our wedding at OneThirtyOne in October 2025. I can't imagine a better place to host our event. We got so many compliments on the location. We had a daytime wedding, and the natural light in the space is amazing. It's also the perfect place for a dance party, which was important to us because we had a full band and lot of dancers in attendance. OneThirtyOne is a rehearsal space during the week, so the acoustics are excellent, and the floor is meant for dancing. Finally, Jules, the site coordinator, couldn't be more lovely. She made planning a breeze. If you're considering OneThirtyOne, just book it!

About wedding venues in Fords, NJ

Why Choose New Jersey for Your Wedding Day?

New Jersey gives you four distinct regions with unique wedding settings and styles to match any vision. September tops the charts for wedding inquiries here, so you'll want to plan ahead if you're eyeing a date during peak season. The varied landscapes mean you can find everything from waterfront elegance to historic charm without traveling far.

What Types of Wedding Venues Can You Find in New Jersey?

The venue scene in New Jersey covers just about every style imaginable. Luxury estates like Park Chateau in East Brunswick offer stunning French-inspired architecture with gorgeous European gardens that make for incredible photo backdrops. If water views are your thing, places like Liberty House showcase breathtaking NYC skyline panoramas right alongside the water. History buffs fall in love with venues like Pleasantdale Chateau in West Orange with its historic grounds and Mediterranean gardens. Modern couples gravitate toward industrial spaces such as The Art Factory in Paterson where contemporary design meets character and uniqueness.

How Much Should You Budget for a New Jersey Wedding?

Wedding venues in New Jersey typically run between $8,600 and $10,600, which falls right in line with the national range of $6,500-$12,000. Your overall costs will scale with your guest count. A 50-person celebration averages around $25,059 while stepping up to 100 guests pushes that to $41,588. Mid-sized weddings with 150 guests come in around $57,123 and larger gatherings of 200 reach about $71,002. Going bigger? Expect to invest around $84,881 for 250 guests or $98,761 for 300 guests. These figures help you set realistic expectations as you start planning.

Which Budget Categories Matter Most for New Jersey Celebrations?

Knowing where your money typically goes helps you allocate your budget effectively. Venues take the biggest slice at about 17% of your total budget or $9,599 for a 150-guest wedding. Florals follow at 14% costing around $7,821 while catering represents 13% at approximately $7,679. Bar services run about $6,143 or 11% of your budget. Photography investments average $5,674 (10%) with planning services at $4,622 (8%). Videography accounts for 7% at $4,051 and entertainment like bands or DJs takes 4% at $2,370.
