Featuring a working mill, blacksmith shop, active church, and several beautiful historic houses, Waterloo Village is a time capsule surrounded by an air of tranquil beauty. With its rich history, Waterloo Village is the perfect setting for weddings. Boasting two spectacular indoor event spaces—the newly-renovated meeting house and the rustic pavilion—in addition to its spacious outdoor compound, Waterloo has the resources and ambiance to make your special occasion a memorable success. As a remarkably well-preserved example of a 19th-Century canal town and the site of a 400-year-old Lenape Indian village, Waterloo Village is an incredibly valuable piece of New Jersey history. Waterloo is open to the public as part of Allamuchy Mountain State Park and home to many events and educational programs to teach and inform visitors about the past. When you choose Waterloo Village as the setting for your event, a portion of proceeds will go towards the preservation and restoration of the site.

Perfect isn't even enough to describe our wedding experience with terrain DelVal. It truly exceeded our expectations in every way. Everyone we had the chance to interact with was great. We had Paige as our coordinator and she was just awesome. She was super easy to get in touch with and always happy to help. The space itself is stunning. The second we walked in I was ready to book. The indoor ceremony space was perfect for our winter wedding. The FOOD omg..I am still hearing about how good it was. I've had so many people tell me it was hands down the best wedding food they've ever had. Some have since gone back to go to the restaurant because of it. I can't recommend terrain enough. Trust me, book it!

We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect venue for our wedding! From the moment we started planning, everyone at Skyview Golf Club was incredibly attentive, helpful, and genuinely invested in making our day everything we dreamed it would be. Hildegard was absolutely amazing throughout the entire process. She went above and beyond to make sure every single detail was perfect, and she made us feel so supported and taken care of from start to finish. She was attentive to all of our little requests, made sure everything ran smoothly, and somehow always seemed to be one step ahead of us. Her care and attention to detail truly made a difference and allowed us to relax and enjoy our wedding day knowing everything was in good hands. The entire staff was wonderful, professional, and so accommodating. The venue itself was beautiful, the food was incredible, and everything came together seamlessly. Our guests are still talking about what an amazing time they had!

We had our wedding at The One & Only Westmount Country Club in early November 2025. It was a perfect venue! The staff were amazing, and the site was impeccable. From the moment we toured the Westmount it was pretty clear it would be perfect for us. We wanted to do the wedding on-site in the garden off the Continental Ballroom. Karen worked with us to make everything perfect and coordinated every detail according to our vision for the day. Since the wedding, we have heard nothing but praise and compliments from our guests. Multiple people have told us they have never had such good food at a wedding, and the dessert extravaganza (only word to describe it) was second to none. From the welcome drinks and snacks, to the cocktail hour, to dinner service and dessert, our guests cannot stop raving about the food and service. The outdoor venue with twinkle lights in the trees, up lighting, a fountain next to the gazebo, and the picturesque garden gate was the entire aesthetic we wanted. We highly recommend The One & Only Westmount Country Club. The staff, the venue, the food, and the suggested vendors all made for a dream wedding and magical night.

If I could give Skylands Manor and Frungillo Caterers more than five stars, I would. From the moment our guests drove up the tree-lined entrance to the final song of the evening, every single detail felt like something out of a fairytale. Skylands Manor is, without question, one of the most breathtaking wedding venues in New Jersey. The historic manor, stunning gardens, mountain views, and timeless architecture created the perfect backdrop for the most important day of our lives. What truly sets this venue apart, however, is the team behind it. The staff made us feel like we were the only wedding that mattered. Every detail was handled with professionalism, warmth, and genuine care, allowing us to be completely present and enjoy every moment without worrying about a thing. The food deserves its own standing ovation. Our guests are still talking about it weeks later. From the incredible cocktail hour to the perfectly prepared dinner and desserts, everything was restaurant-quality and beautifully presented. It was far beyond what anyone expects from a wedding venue. Everywhere we looked there were unforgettable photo opportunities, and the atmosphere was simply magical. It felt like we were celebrating in our own private castle. We’ve attended many weddings over the years, and our guests repeatedly told us this was one of the most beautiful—and one of the most enjoyable—they’ve ever experienced. That says everything. To everyone at Skylands Manor and Frungillo Caterers: thank you for creating memories we’ll cherish for the rest of our lives. You didn’t just host our wedding—you created an experience that exceeded every expectation. We would choose Skylands Manor again a thousand times over and recommend it without hesitation to any couple looking for a truly unforgettable wedding venue.

Incredible, gorgeous venue! Althea and the whole staff were incredibly instrumental in the planning and day of our wedding! This wouldn’t have happened without Althea. She is responsive, kind and always there to support. Her resume speaks for itself- had her wedding there as well. I truly cannot say enough good things about the venue. The catering is delicious, and for a wedding in 2026 still technically in NYC, we were able to keep the cost reasonably affordable. Their pricing for a plate ranges from under 100 which is a bargain in my eyes. Filled with ample places to take pictures, options for ceremony inside and outside, we were able to have 130 people sit comfortably outside. We could not be more floored by the staff’s experience and expertise and would recommend this to anyone who wants a beautiful outdoor setting and something within the city limits.

My husband and I chose the Envue Hotel to be our all-in-one wedding venue and hotel room block. We actually signed our contract two years ago when a different management team was in place. After signing the contract, a new management team came in, and we could not have been more amazed with the level of service. It truly was a blessing in disguise. Chris and his team are truly one of a kind. From day one, Chris jumped in and truly became a partner in our wedding planning process. He was not only great at communicating, but also open to collaborating to make it the day of our dreams. I feel like so many venues we visited put numerous restrictions in place, but Chris listened to all of our ideas and was open to executing on our vision. He advice and guidance was so reassuring throughout the entire process. The venue itself is STUNNING. I can’t even express how many compliments I received from our guests. “This is the most beautiful venue I’ve ever been to” and “This is the best cocktail hour I’ve attended” was uttered all throughout the night. The fact that guests could dance at the reception, and then step outside on the balcony made it such an incredible reception space. Everyone loved it! Edwin was our Maître D. He was so friendly and detail oriented. I didn’t notice a single thing that didn’t go the way I wanted it to, and I know it was because Edwin was running a tight ship behind the scenes. The food was incredible and the bartenders were so friendly. Ali handled our room block, and I was also so pleased with the level of communication. Ali was responsive and accommodative of our requests. I didn’t hear a single complaint about the check in process, and the rooms were updated, clean, and beautiful. The Skyline Suite is also perfect for those “getting ready photos” the morning of J All in all, I think the Envue is a hidden gem of a wedding venue! With the ferry right in front of the venue, you can have all the perks of NYC while avoiding the craziness. Thank you, Envue and Team!

They had just started taking on larger weddings and did an amazing job. They were super flexible, and anytime something came up, they always found a solution. We’re so happy with how everything turned out and couldn’t recommend the venue more. I also loved how customizable the space was—it really allowed us to bring our vision to life with beautiful florals and decor. The perfect New York City chic wedding venue!

Glasshouse Chelsea was the perfect backdrop to our wedding day. Although the weather was perfect, this venue's value is its beauty in every weather and in every light of day or night. We worked with both Chelsee and Nikki and they were both professional and gracious. Their communication style was direct, prompt and transparent. Nikki even found us cocktail napkins at the last minute, helping the bar service. The venue itself, both the 21st floor and 14th floor, was stunning, upscale and practical. At first, I thought that elevator traffic might be an issue, but it was seamless throughout the night. The balcony was the perfect golden-hour-to-sunset photo background and proved to be a nice respite from the dance floor throughout the night. We couldn't have asked for a better wedding venue.

Altesi and their team did an ABSOLUTELY phenomenal job with food at our wedding! Paolo is the nicest, most professional gentleman in the food business and went above and beyond to help us make our dream wedding menu. We went for so many tastings, just because we could, and we were obsessed with the food! It is some of the best food in all of NYC and such an affordable price. Our food was the most important thing to us at our wedding, we wanted there to be a variety, we wanted it to be yummy and we wanted there to be a lot of it so our guests would never become hungry. They nailed it! From the service to the attention to detail, everything was perfect and extremely affordable. It was also amazing to be able to have one vendor for all the food, servers, dessert and bar!

Awarded Best of Zola
I had two great experiences with The Pier Sixty Collection. Both my wedding at Current and my work’s holiday party at Pier Sixty. The events were both unforgettable, and the staff was truly outstanding. I had the pleasure of working with Marlon, who was our wedding coordinator and worked our holiday party and I can’t speak highly enough of him. He goes above and beyond to ensure everything runs smoothly. Marlon does an incredible job of making sure guests are happy and the event flows seamlessly—he’s truly one of the best. Secondarily, the food is amazing. Friends and family still talk about the food that was served at our wedding months later! All in all, this is an amazing collection of venues with great staff and I hope to happily attend/host many more events here.
