“Our wedding day was absolutely perfect thanks to Hildegard and the SkyView staff! We planned our wedding less than a year out, and Hildegard was very accommodating and very responsive throughout the planning process - she was truly a pleasure to work with. On wedding day, we also had Jenn and Iwan helping out to make sure the day ran smoothly. We did our ceremony off-site so we cannot speak on that, but our cocktail hour and reception were absolutely awesome! We still have guests raving about how good the food was and how beautiful the venue and grounds are. You definitely get the best value for your money in terms of northern NJ wedding venues, and we couldn't recommend SkyView enough!”

“We cannot say enough amazing things about Bello Giorno Estate. The location of the estate is adjacent to a small river, which made for absolutely spectacular wedding photos. Think Secret Garden meets Italian Villa! We also loved the intimate feel of the banquet hall, which was the perfect fit for our wedding size. Our guests loved the food and service. Even though we planned our wedding remotely, working with Monica and Stephanie was incredibly easy, as they were very responsive to both email and phone calls. We felt like they went above and beyond to accommodate us and tailor our wedding so it would be perfect. We couldn't have asked for a better venue to hold our wedding. Thank you Bello Giorno!”

“From the moment we started planning, Jenn at Camelback Lodge made the entire process smooth and stress-free with her quick responses and willingness to work around our schedule. She guided us through every step, answered our questions, and was incredibly flexible when we needed to adjust our tasting dates. The newly renovated ballroom took our breath away, and the mountaintop ceremony location offered views we couldn't have imagined.

“There are not enough stars to give Ivy Thomas and The View at Lincoln Park the review they deserve. Our wedding was everything we had hoped for and more, and so much of that was because of Ivy and the incredible team around her. I’m Jewish and grew up attending weddings at country clubs on Long Island, so I came into our wedding with very high expectations for the setting, food, and service. The View lived up to those expectations and exceeded them. With 180 guests, ours was one of their larger weddings, and they handled it beautifully. Everything felt seamless, and the level of attention and care was incredible. The venue looked absolutely gorgeous. The ceremony room with our chuppah was stunning, and the reception room was breathtaking. Seeing those spaces transformed into everything we had envisioned was such an emotional, unforgettable moment. We also held our after-party upstairs on the rooftop, and Ivy made the indoor space up there look so beautiful, too. She put care into every part of the celebration, right through the end of the night. The food was delicious, from cocktail hour through dinner. Ivy made sure the appetizers came out hot and kept flowing out of the kitchen throughout cocktail hour. Our friends raved about them, and it was so wonderful to hear how much everyone enjoyed the food. She also made sure they had all the right ingredients for our signature drinks—one of the many thoughtful details that made the celebration feel so personal to us. Ivy deserves endless praise. Throughout the planning process, she stayed in close communication with both us and my dad, making sure every detail was understood and that we had everything we wanted. She was responsive, attentive, and so wonderful to work with. She listened to what mattered to us, understood our vision, and went above and beyond to bring it all to life. She made us feel that our wedding mattered to her personally, and having someone who cared that much and followed through so completely meant the world to us. The entire staff was amazing—warm, attentive, and on top of everything. And Jude, our bridal attendant, was absolutely unreal. The care and attention Jude gave us made us feel so supported and allowed us to relax and enjoy our day. Ivy, Jude, and everyone at The View at Lincoln Park: thank you for giving us such a beautiful celebration and for taking such incredible care of us and our guests. Our wedding was perfect for us, and we would choose you all over again in a heartbeat.”

“Our wedding on May 1, 2026 was truly the best day of our lives, and the entire Hudson House team exceeded every expectation we had. We had a bit of a rocky start during the initial booking process, but once Elena, the General Manager, stepped in and connected us with Gabriel, the Director, everything became seamless. From that point forward, we felt completely taken care of. The food tasting alone was an experience unlike anything we've ever seen. It was an incredible feast and gave us a firsthand look at how Hudson House executes events and the level of service they provide. The food was absolutely outstanding, and our guests are still talking about it weeks later. One of the things that made our wedding feel extra special was having the second-floor room available for cocktail hour instead of the overlook above the reception space. While both spaces are beautiful, having a completely separate floor created such an incredible guest experience. Many guests thought the cocktail hour space was the reception itself, only to be amazed when they discovered there was another floor for dinner and dancing, followed by the Stork Club for the after-party. Everyone loved the progression of the evening and how each part of the celebration had its own unique space. The cocktail hour was truly next level. We received countless compliments about the amount of food and the variety of stations. Guests repeatedly told us they had never seen so many options at a wedding. One detail that made a huge impact was having our signature his-and-hers drinks already waiting for guests as they entered cocktail hour. People loved being able to grab a drink immediately instead of standing in line at the bar, and it was one of the most complimented touches of the night. What impressed us most, though, was the service. Every single staff member was warm, friendly, attentive, and accommodating. If a guest needed something, it was handled immediately. The professionalism and hospitality were truly exceptional. A special thank you goes to Maya, my bridal attendant, who was absolutely incredible from start to finish. She was by my side all day, constantly making sure I had water, checking on me, helping me stay hydrated, and ensuring I had everything I needed. She even helped clean the dirt off the train of my dress after photos. Maya was calm, thoughtful, diligent, and genuinely cared about making my day perfect. Before we left, she made sure all of our belongings were packed and organized, and she carefully packed up the food and cake I requested to take home since I knew I probably wouldn't get a chance to eat much during the wedding. Thanks to her, we were able to enjoy so many of the amazing dishes once we got back to our hotel. Gabriel was equally incredible throughout the night. Anytime I noticed something that needed attention, no matter how small, he addressed it immediately. Knowing he was there overseeing everything allowed us to relax and fully enjoy our wedding day. Hudson House delivered beyond our wildest dreams. The venue is stunning, the food is phenomenal, the service is unmatched, and the entire team genuinely cares about creating an unforgettable experience. Everything ran so smoothly that we were able to be fully present and enjoy every moment. The only downside is that the day goes by way too fast. We honestly wish we could do it all over again. We cannot recommend Hudson House enough.”

“Liberty Hall Museum helped to make my Mid-September wedding an absolute dream. We had our ceremony in front of the lush apple orchard, our cocktail hour around the rose garden that was still blooming and our reception under the tent. We utilized the Carriage House during cocktail hour and for dessert. Liberty Hall staff, as always, was warm, helpful, accommodating and so, so patient. There was never an issue and they were quick to fix anything before it was noticed. Our photographer was so excited about all the different opportunities for unique and beautiful photos throughout the grounds, over the course of the evening. I have a hard time finding the words that truly express what an amazing location Liberty Hall is. Almost 5 years later my husband and I are still receiving compliments about our wedding day.”

From the moment we reached out, their team responded within the hour (or less) and worked with us to nail down every detail—from the flowers to the final setup. The open plan layout is perfect for weddings, giving you flexibility to create the exact vibe you want, and their staff was attentive throughout the day, making sure nothing fell through the cracks.

“We could not have asked for a better experience with Maritime Parc for our wedding. From the very first planning meetings through the last moment of our wedding day, their team was incredibly accommodating, attentive, and professional. The meetings leading up to our wedding were extremely helpful. As details came together and timing and logistics continued to evolve, the team was always willing to talk things through and accommodate where they could. Maritime Parc is clearly a well-oiled machine — they do a lot of weddings, and understandably, some things have an established way of being done. But what impressed me was that even within that structure, they never made us feel like “just another wedding.” They found ways to make our experience feel personal and special while still keeping everything running efficiently. I especially want to recognize Priscilla, who technically was not even our day-of coordinator, but somehow became so much more than that to us and our family. My dad is… particular, to put it very nicely , and had a million questions, requests, and concerns throughout the planning process. Priscilla handled every single one with incredible patience, kindness, and professionalism. At some point, she was basically his therapist, point person, and honorary member of the family all in one. She went so far above and beyond what we ever expected, and she was there with us throughout the entire wedding day to make sure everything went smoothly. Having someone we trusted that much there with us made such a difference. And then the wedding day itself was absolutely seamless. Every transition was precise and perfectly timed, from the ceremony to cocktail hour to the reception. Our bridal attendant was an absolute fairy godmother — she anticipated everything I could possibly need before I even had to ask. Even something as small as coordinating exactly when the doors would open for my walk down the aisle was handled flawlessly. There was never a moment where I felt like I had to worry about what was happening behind the scenes. Everything was top notch: the service, the food, the staff, the attention to detail, and especially the level of care they gave us and our families. You spend so much time planning a wedding and worrying about all of the little things, and Maritime Parc gave us the gift of being able to actually enjoy our wedding day because we knew everything was in good hands. It is obvious that this team knows exactly what they are doing, but somehow they still made us feel like our wedding was uniquely important to them — even knowing that ours was one of so many weddings they put on. That combination of experience, organization, flexibility, and genuine personal care is what made Maritime Parc so special to us. We are so grateful to the entire Maritime Parc team, and especially Priscilla, for making our wedding feel so personal and so incredibly well cared for. We would recommend Maritime Parc to anyone looking for a venue that will not only execute your wedding beautifully, but will genuinely take care of you and your family along the way.”

“Even before stepping foot inside 87 Sussex it already checked a lot of boxes for us. It's a stylish restaurant with a quality menu, walking distance from our church, and not a wedding factory like so many of the larger venues in the area are. From the moment we starting figuring out logistics with Emily we knew we lucked out. Emily was responsive, communicative, and helpful in accommodating our requests and finding solutions to any issues that arose in the planning process. The day of the wedding was everything we hoped for and more. The weather was perfect, so our guests took full advantage of the space- indoor and out. After dinner the downstairs tables were moved to accommodate a dance floor. It was a fun, intimate party with family and friends. From the cocktail hour through the dinner, the food and drinks were elevated, delicious and bountiful. Three months later our guests are still raving about the food. It's not often that wedding guests compliment the staff as much as the dinner itself, but that was also the case at 87 Sussex. The bartenders, hosts, management, and waitstaff were in a festive mood and incredibly attentive to all of our guests. It all made for a special, once-in-a-lifetime celebration.”

“Terroir was the perfect spot for our wedding welcome party! We had about 85 guests and bought out the entire venue. The casual setup was exactly what we wanted—it gave everyone plenty of room to mix and mingle, while tapas were passed throughout the night. There was more than enough food, with a great variety of options, and our guests absolutely raved about it. We love wine, so Terroir was an especially great fit for us. They worked with us to offer a variety of wines for our guests, while the non-wine drinkers appreciated the fun selection of beers and cocktails. Setup was incredibly easy, and the staff was accommodating throughout the entire process. We were able to play some of our favorite movies on the big screen, and Terroir gave us full control of the music, so we created a playlist based on song requests from our RSVPs. Those little touches made the night feel really personal to us. We also loved that guests could drop in on their own schedule, and the high-top tables and open layout naturally encouraged people to move around and mingle rather than stay in one place all night. It was exactly what we wanted for the start of our wedding weekend: relaxed, fun, personal, and the perfect place for all of our guests to get acquainted. We couldn’t have been happier with Terroir.”
