The Bonnefont offers an enchanting and timeless setting for your wedding celebration. Just a short stroll from The Met Cloisters, home to The Met's renowned medieval collection, this historic venue blends Old World charm with modern sophistication. Named after the medieval cloister and herb garden in its French town of origin, The Bonnefont is housed in a picturesque fieldstone cottage built in the 1930s for John D. Rockefeller and designed by the esteemed Olmsted Brothers, sons of Frederick Olmsted, the visionary behind New York City's Central Park.

For over a century patrons have found comfort in this historic building nestled in the heights of the Meadowlands, presently home to Ivy Inn. Opened in the 1870’s as a stagecoach inn, travelers in horse and carriage along Polifly Road (later named Terrace Avenue) stopped here to eat and drink in the tavern below and sleep in one of six guest quarters above. After the turn of the 20th century, the inn evolved into a fine dining restaurant (a popular speakeasy during Prohibition), but eventually fell into disrepair. On Valentine’s Day of 1997, after extensive restoration, the inn once again opened its doors for fine dining, renamed Ivy Inn. Ivy, the symbol of love and marriage, has proven to be a fitting name. Since reopening, the restaurant has witnessed countless marriage proposals, weddings and anniversary celebrations. Continuing its long legacy of hospitality, the inn is once again a Bergen County favorite and continues to inspire cherished memories for many years to come.
