“Our wedding day was absolutely wonderful, a huge part of that is thanks to all the staff at Johnson's Locust Hall Farm. We couldn't have asked for a better venue for our wedding. We knew from the start that we were in good hands and never had to worry about anything. Everyone was so sweet and kind!  The property is stunning! From the moment you drive down the driveway, you are just captivated by the beauty and charm of the farm. Plus you get to use the beautiful farmhouse to get ready in, which is super convenient and great for photos. Our friends and family are still talking about how beautiful the farm is! We have been visiting since 2017, so it was great to share one of our favorite places to visit with them. If you do book your wedding here use the preferred vendor list. It was super helpful!

“From our tour to booking our wedding date, to the countless emails to our tasting and final to our wedding day, the staff at Jumping Brook Country Club exceed our expectations and went above and beyond to make our wedding day unforgettable. Jordan, who is the Catering Sales Manager, but was also our point of contact at the venue was so easy to work with, super professional and kind throughout the whole wedding planning process. She went above and beyond and managed to resolve the small hiccups in the beginning of the process. However, Jordan isn't just a catering sales manager, she's your biggest cheerleader throughout your whole wedding process and in the end became a really good friend. The rest of the staff including Lady, the Maitre D' and Diamond, the Bridal Assistant truly made the day of our wedding special. Whenever my bridesmaids and I needed something, Diamond was right there to help us. Throughout the day Lady was there making sure everything ran smoothly and also, most importantly ran us out food from our cocktail hour while we were taking pictures and let me tell you, what a lifesaver as my husband and I were both starving! Truly from our tour to the end of our wedding night, Jumping Brook made our wedding stress free. The staff made sure not only we were taken care of but felt cared for and that was truly special and something we will both take with us and remember from our wedding day. Also, the food (and wine too) are amazing! Compliments to the chef because not only did we have an amazing tasting but everything food wise during our cocktail hour and reception tasted so good! We love everyone so much at Jumping Brook and thank you for helping make our wedding day unforgettable.”

What really impressed us was how seamlessly everything came together, the catering is a monopoly; our catering coordinator Joanne stepped up and helped manage the space too, making sure every detail was handled. Our guests raved about the venue itself—there's something special about getting married in a place that's been so well cared for by the township. The pricing was very reasonable, which meant we could spend our budget on other things that mattered to us. We'd absolutely recommend Sayen House & Gardens to any couple planning an intimate celebration. The rains earlier in the day made the gardens look like a rainforest out of fairy tales”

We kept our eye out on the forecast, hoping to have the ceremony outside in the garden however, with the rain we had to have it inside, but it was still absolutely perfect, they were able to get it, so that way you didn’t see everything underneath the tent during the ceremony and most of the time you didn’t even know they were there.”

“Choosing Chauncey Hotel as our wedding venue was one of the best decisions we made throughout the wedding planning process. The venue is a hidden gem located in Princeton, NJ. It is nestled behind main roads, not far from the downtown but feels very secluded when onsite. We have many out of town relatives so being able to stay at the hotel and have everything onsite was very convenient and comfortable. The hotel offers a buffet breakfast in the morning which was a nice perk and convenient spot for everyone to gather. There is also a bar in the lobby which was the perfect space for reconnecting the night before our wedding and for our after party. The Laurie House is a charming historic home that offers a hotel-style stay. It was the perfect space for us and our bridal party to get ready, with a large space for hair/makeup, "getting ready" photos, and a boardroom for signing our marriage license after the ceremony. The surrounding property is beautiful and offered many areas for photos surrounded by trees and other natural scenery. The staff at Chauncey was kind, courteous, and attentive to our needs all weekend. Becki in particular went above and beyond as a wedding coordinator. She made herself available to meet in person and virtually before our wedding. Every interaction with Becki made us feel more ready and prepared for our big day! In the days leading up to the wedding, we were able to drop off decor for her ahead of time and she also led our rehearsal! Becki took the time to check in with us the day-of and looked after our family and bridal party to make sure they had everything they needed. Making sure we had our cues before walking down the aisle was so helpful. Our day would not have gone as smoothly as it did without her!”

They were attentive, organized, and went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly. We felt completely taken care of, allowing us to fully enjoy every moment of our special day. We are so grateful to Max and his entire team for creating such a magical experience. If you are looking for a venue that delivers excellence in every possible way, look no further.

“I can't speak enough about how easy it was to work with everyone at 26 West. They let us tweak the menu for our rehearsal dinner, and with views of the Navesink from upstairs it was a great night. The service was spot on, and in a day and age where there is a shortage of staff, they made sure everything was taken care of. Anything that anyone else needed they were on top of.”

“I held my local wedding reception at 3BR, and I couldn’t have asked for a more perfect venue to celebrate with friends and family who couldn’t attend our destination wedding. The atmosphere at 3BR was relaxed and welcoming, creating the ideal environment for a more intimate celebration. From the start, the owners were incredibly responsive and easy to work with. They kept open communication throughout the planning process and were more than accommodating to our needs. One of the things I appreciated most was their flexibility—they allowed us to transform the space after hours to fit our vision, and they made sure every detail was taken care of. Not only was the space unique and full of character, but the vibe was truly one-of-a-kind. The cocktails were a hit with our guests, and the overall ambiance made it a memorable evening for everyone. The owners were friendly, pleasant, and made sure everything ran smoothly, which made the event even more enjoyable. If you're planning a smaller wedding event or reception, I highly recommend 3BR. It’s the perfect place to host a celebration that feels both personal and special. The combination of great service, a fantastic atmosphere, and delicious drinks makes it a standout venue for any occasion.”

“We got married at Edgewater in October 2023 and it was truly a dream. The venue is absolutely gorgeous and very reasonably priced. The staff is phenomenal! Christina and Sal were incredibly helpful, knowledgeable, professional, and put our minds at ease. I can easily say they were the reason we were stress free. Emily and Alanna made sure we were their number one priority that day. They were constantly checking in on us, giving us whatever we needed. They knew what we needed/wanted before we even did. Our parents raved about the staff checking on them as well. Every little detail was perfect because of the staff. The food was so delicious, thanks to chef Jay. Every single one of our guests came up to us to rave about the beauty of the venue, the food, the staff, and the bartenders. The bartenders were awesome and quickly learned everyone’s order, having the drinks ready for them when they got to the bar. It was the best day of our lives and we couldn’t have picked a better venue with a better staff, because there simply isn’t one. Thank you Edgewater for being the perfect beach venue!!”

“My husband, Ryan, and I had our wedding at Windows on the Water this June, and it was truly magical, everything we had ever dreamed of, and more. We’ve always loved the water, so we toured several venues with waterfront views. The moment we walked into Windows on the Water, it was breathtaking! We knew instantly this was where we wanted to say “I do.” When we booked WoW, Ryan’s health was uncertain. He had been diagnosed with cancer just months earlier. We held onto the hope of creating the dream wedding we envisioned, even though at times it felt like an unattainable goal. Thankfully, Ryan responded quickly to treatment, his health improved dramatically, and we continued planning. From the very start, Mike H. was nothing short of amazing. We shared our story, and his support and genuine care went far beyond a business transaction. He understood our journey, and his check-ins throughout the months leading up to the wedding made us feel special and hopeful that our dream would become a reality. Prior to the big day, Cheryl was a lifesaver, patiently answering all my questions and guiding us through the details . On our wedding day, she managed everything with such professionalism and care that all we had to do was enjoy the moment. It was a heatwave that day, but the staff went above and beyond, attending to our every need and even making sure we stayed hydrated! Every detail was perfect from how they arranged our decor to planning everything. We’ve heard countless compliments from our guests, about the delicious food, the stunning views, and how it was the best wedding they had ever attended. Even months later, people are still raving about it! We feel incredibly grateful, not only that Ryan’s health improved, but that we were able to live our dream day surrounded by our friends and family. Our wedding will forever be the most wonderful and meaningful day of our lives, and we owe so much of that to Mike, Cheryl, and the entire WoW team. If you want to get married somewhere with a gorgeous view, with incredible food and the most attentive staff then run, don’t walk, to Windows on the Water!”
