The Valley at Neshanic was the perfect venue for our wedding. From the beginning, the communication with Julia, the sales manager, was open and easy. She executed everything perfectly, and the venue looked exactly as we had hoped - perfectly quaint and not over the top. The price per plate was also very reasonable. The food was great, the staff was attentive, and the views of the countryside were beautiful. Overall, we couldn't have asked for a better experience at The Valley at Neshanic.

We had our wedding at the Ryland Inn in August and it was absolutely perfect! The Ryland was the first place we toured when we were looking at wedding venues, and nowhere else came close to comparing. We had Giana as our event stylist and she was amazing – answering all of our questions, knowing every detail, and making the entire process seamless. Giana walked us through the entire wedding planning process and was essential to making the day so perfect. The morning of we got ready in the Hayloft, and it was nice being close to see everything being set up. We were in the Grand Ballroom, the inside of which is beautiful with the chandeliers and fireplace, and so is the outdoor area. The food was outstanding and received so many compliments from our guests. I’m so happy we chose the Ryland Inn!

Bridgewater Manor was an incredible venue for our wedding. Alyssa was amazing - she was very prompt in returning our emails and phone calls, and was incredibly helpful in answering all of our questions throughout the planning process. On the day of our wedding, Alyssa was extremely attentive and made sure I was ready for the ceremony, even helping to put my husband's boutonniere on correctly. I was very nervous right before walking down the aisle, but Alyssa was there to calm my nerves. Adele was also fantastic all night long - he made sure we had food and drinks during cocktail hour and was available to assist us with anything we needed. I never had to hesitate to ask Adele for help. The entire Bridgewater Manor team contributed to making our wedding day so special and stress-free. We are so grateful for their incredible service and attention to detail.

Last year, we held our wedding rehearsal at Ficus 2nd Floor, and it proved to be an absolutely delightful and cozy venue. The buffet-style food offered was not only delicious but also showcased the restaurant's expertise in New American cuisine with a special emphasis on East Asian flavors. What made our experience truly exceptional was the ability to combine American, Italian, French, and Asian dishes. This diverse menu ensured that all our guests' culinary preferences were catered to, adding a fantastic touch to our celebration. The manager was prompt in responding to our inquiries, contributing to the overall smooth planning process. One notable feature that enhanced the ambiance was the well-designed wall, providing an ideal backdrop for our decorations. The inclusion of a music system added an extra layer of enjoyment to the atmosphere. The fair pricing coupled with the quality of the food made Ficus 2nd Floor a standout choice for us. In conclusion, I highly recommend Ficus 2nd Floor for any event or celebration.

There aren't enough words to describe what a perfect day Anah and her team created for our wedding. It was more perfect than we ever could have conceived of ourselves. We booked during a transition period for Anah and her business, so sometimes there were some lapses in communication and some crossed wires, but when it came to the wedding weekend, everything was absolutely perfect. (Maybe I'm overusing that word, but it doesn't feel possible). Anah is so warm, funny, personable, and made us feel like we were the most important couple in the world on our wedding day - and also extremely safe and welcome as a queer couple. Every detail was thoughtful and lovely. We used what she grows for our flowers, and she put together a bouquet for me on the morning of the wedding that matched perfectly with accessories she hadn't even seen yet. It's possible she's a little bit psychic. Thank you, thank you, thank you Anah and team for our perfect day. I wish we could do it all over again!

Jasna Polana was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding day. From their easy and quick communication, to the stunning and graceful mansion, we could not have asked for a better venue. Kelsey was creative in how she maneuvered the furniture to create the perfect flow for our cocktail hour, and even pulled us aside during cocktail hour to make sure we took a moment to enjoy a plate of delicious food - a thoughtful (and incredibly helpful) gesture that we really appreciated. In particular, Kelsey was a joy to work with, helping to talk down this anxious bride and providing creative solutions throughout the planning process. We are so grateful to the entire Jasna Polana team for making our special day truly unforgettable.

I don't even know where to begin — our June 13th, 2025 wedding at the Olde Mill Inn was truly everything we dreamed of and more. From the moment we arrived to the final sendoff, it felt like we had stepped straight into a Hallmark movie. The Setting We used both the Grain House and the Grand Ballroom, and each space had its own charm. Our ceremony took place in the courtyard, and it was absolutely magical — the gardens, the stone walls, the romantic ambiance... it all felt timeless and intimate. We had about 100 guests, and everyone kept commenting on how beautiful and well-thought-out everything was. The Team Lea and John were nothing short of amazing. Lea was with us every step of the way through the planning process, answering all our questions (and calming my nerves more than once). John, our maître d’, was a dream on the day of — he made sure we were always taken care of, that everything ran smoothly, and that we actually got to eat during cocktail hour and dinner (which so many brides don’t!). The Experience It’s honestly hard to pick one thing I loved most because everything — the service, the food, the atmosphere, the convenience of having our guests stay on-site — was perfect. The staff made us feel like royalty, but also like family. Every detail felt intentional and personalized. It wasn’t just a wedding; it was an experience. A Moment I’ll Never Forget There was a quiet moment after the ceremony, before heading to cocktail hour, when John pulled us aside, gave us a glass of champagne, and let us soak it all in — just the two of us. That pause, in the middle of such a whirlwind day, meant the world. Final Thoughts If you're considering the Olde Mill Inn for your wedding, don’t hesitate. The entire day felt like it was lifted from a movie set, but it was our movie — beautiful, heartfelt, and joy-filled. We’ll forever be grateful to Lea, John, and the entire team for giving us the best day of our lives. Forever grateful, Danielle and James

Where do I even begin? We got married at the Grain House at the Olde Mill Inn on May 23, 2024, and it was nothing short of perfect. The entire wedding planning process was made easy thanks to everyone at the OldMill Inn and Grain House. They are very responsive, which is crucial when planning a wedding. My grandmother and grandfather had their wedding reception here back in 1957, so I knew I wanted to meet with them to discuss having my wedding there. It was the first and only venue we met with. After going on a tour and discussing the different packages with Lea, I was sold. They take care of your accommodations, catering, bar, cake, tables, chairs, etc. My wedding planning “to-do” list was cut in half! Everyone is so accommodating and they really work with you to make sure your day goes perfectly. So many guests told us how they never experienced wedding food to this level. Everything was DELICIOUS! Better yet, we actually got to eat as the bride and groom. The property itself is gorgeous. John was our Matre d’ and he was the best! He made sure we stayed on time, he ran food from the cocktail hour to me and my husband when we were taking photos, and he coordinated with our vendors so we didn’t have to worry. His efforts did not go unnoticed. Once again I had guests come up to me and tell me how amazing he is. I also had guests reach out after to tell me it was the best wedding they have ever been to. All of our vendors were fantastic but the Old Mill Inn and Grain House really did the bulk of the work to make it an unforgettable experience. The hotel itself was wonderful to stay in, everything was so clean and the breakfast was delicious. I wouldn’t change a thing about my wedding day, everything was perfect and I really have the Old Mill Inn and the Grain House to thank for that. I would recommend the Old Mill Inn and the GrainHouse to anyone planning a wedding. It really is the ONLY choice in my opinion. You will not be disappointed.

Our wedding at Park Chateau was nothing short of magical in December! We had our ceremony on-site in the chapel and it was absolutely breathtaking. It was intimate, elegant, and the perfect setting to exchange our vows. The reception was stunning to say the least.

The food was outstanding and cooked to perfection, even our to-go items! The cocktail hour was beyond anything we could have imagined, with an endless variety. From our very first appointment with Dom, we knew we were in the best of hands! Throughout the entire planning process, the entire team was an absolute pleasure to work with. Devin worked with us closely helping us select our menu and coordinating every detail. The entire team was attentive, organized, and truly went above and beyond to make our vision a reality. On the wedding day, Oscar, Dawn Alix, Jeremiah, and Alanna we’re by our side ensuring we had everything we needed. They even had hand warmers/jacket to keep us warm during our photos outside!

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.

Bistro Seven Three provided an excellent venue for our rehearsal dinner. Their communication throughout the planning process was timely and thorough, ensuring all details were handled smoothly. The venue itself is a beautiful, big private space that allowed us flexibility in setup. We appreciated being able to come in early to arrange decorations and tables exactly how we envisioned. On the big day, the staff worked hard to make everything perfect - the food was incredible and the service fantastic.

Not only was it a dreamy venue with its beautiful french romantic feel, but truly was a DREAM venue! From the moment we started planning, their team was incredibly communicative and on top of every detail - we didn't even need a wedding planner since they handled so much for us. The venue itself was absolutely beautiful, and we loved that we could spend the night there with our bridal party and have breakfast together the next morning to recap the night. Every single employee we interacted with was so kind and helpful, especially the day-of coordinators who were by our side the entire time. All of our guests were blown away by the stunning space and could not stop commenting on how beautiful it was. We are so grateful to the Hotel Du Village team for making our special day truly dreamy and unforgettable!

We had the Perfect Night Before Party at Nektar! We had the first floor complete with Balcony the Thursday before Memorial Day. 43 guests. 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. I highly recommend booking this venue- you will not be disappointed! I would give Nektar a million star review. It was a fabulous night!

From the very first tour at American Beauty Events/Embassy Suites in Berkeley Heights, we already knew this place was special. Walking into the stunning glass house absolutely wowed us and instantly made us feel like our wedding vision could truly come to life there. What made the experience even more unforgettable was the incredible team behind it all. Lynda, the director, was an absolute blessing throughout the entire planning process. Her communication, coordination, warmth, and genuine care made us feel supported every step of the way. She truly held our hands through it all and made what could have been stressful feel seamless and exciting. The chefs went above and beyond to create an amazing menu while also thoughtfully incorporating and tweaking dishes to honor our culture. Every bite was incredible, and our guests are still talking about the food! The add-ons, especially the lechon and hors d’oeuvres, were phenomenal and such a huge hit during the celebration. Christina was also wonderful in helping coordinate everything on the day of the wedding, making sure things flowed beautifully. The rooms for us and our guests were beautiful, comfortable, and made the entire weekend feel even more special and relaxing. And an extra special shoutout to Patty and Sonia — words truly cannot express our gratitude for these two amazing women. They did so much more than catering or event service. Patty especially took such incredible care of John and I throughout the entire night — from helping bustle my wedding gown, making sure we actually ate, reminding us to hydrate, checking in on us constantly, and even making sure we had moments to breathe and enjoy the celebration. That level of care, kindness, and attentiveness meant the world to us. We genuinely felt so loved and taken care of. We are beyond grateful to the entire Embassy Suites Berkeley Heights/American Beauty Events team for making our wedding day feel magical, smooth, warm, and unforgettable. Thank you for treating us not just like clients, but like family. We will forever cherish the memories you helped create.

From the first time we reached out to the team at Bowman's Hill Wildflower Preserve, they were very responsive, getting back to us within 48 hours. As our wedding date approached, their communication became even more great as they helped us navigate the DIY elements of the venue. While we had to handle a lot of the setup ourselves, their day-of coordinator was a huge help, even providing a golf cart to shuttle us around the sprawling property. Everything is outsourced at Bowman's, but the coordinator did a pretty good job ensuring our special day ran smoothly. The bathrooms did flood and we are still looking for some of our things as our things were piled up all over. Overall, we were very pleased with the value and unique setting Bowman's Hill Wildflower Preserve provided for our wedding.

We got married here in April 2026, and I cannot say enough about how amazing HollyHedge Estate is. The grounds are absolutely gorgeous, and that ceremony courtyard is truly magical. Rooms on site were clean & cozy, and breakfast in the morning was delicious. Right from the start, their communication & welcomeness far exceeded any other venue we toured. While the breathtaking venue space makes it worthwhile, it’s truly the staff that sets HollyHedge above all the rest. I tend to have a pretty strong Type A personality, and despite my 100s of questions/concerns/thoughts, Gabbi and Reeanne always reassured me with informative and clear responses. Every member of the staff there truly cares about you. Reeanne held extra meetings with me, Gabbi sewed & fixed my husband’s suit during our wedding, Michael stuck around and put up with our craziness the entire day, and Mary was always there to make sure our glasses & bellies were full! Every staff member was so kind & happy to help in any way possible. Upon getting engaged, I was so nervous that I was going to feel so stressed & overwhelmed on my wedding day, but it was the exact opposite! HollyHedge handled everything - there was absolutely no troubleshooting/problem solving from this bride on the day of. I cannot thank them enough for allowing me to just relax, enjoy, & have fun. We are so grateful to have been surrounded by such a great team to help make our day so special.

My husband and I celebrated our wedding in early August 2024 at Jericho National Golf Club. I do not even know how to put into words how happy we were to have our wedding at Jericho. We worked with Christine throughout our entire wedding planning process. She is the absolute BEST! She went above and beyond to accommodate everything we needed to make our wedding day special. She was extremely flexible when it came to our timeline (the groomsmen arriving earlier than the ceremony, extending our cocktail hour, having my husband’s favorite beer on tap,etc.). She was also always available when I needed to discuss various wedding planning items with her and she was very quick to help us with anything we had questions on. Also, a shout out to Janet who was also amazing on our wedding day and always came over to make sure we were eating, drinking and enjoying ourselves. We also received many compliments about our bartenders who were extremely friendly. The amount of compliments I have received on how beautiful our venue was and how amazing the food tasted is a TON! I am beyond happy with our experience at Jericho and I would recommend to any of my friends & family to have their wedding here. Thank you to Christine and the team at Jericho! I wish I could relive this special day over and over again.
