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 highly recommend this venue to any couple looking for a beautiful, stress-free wedding day.

If you’re thinking about booking The Atlantis Ballroom as your venue, DO IT!!!! I literally cannot recommend them enough. LONG story short, we were two days away from our wedding and got a call our venue could no longer accommodate us. Realizing we had no time to panic and had to figure something out, my (now) husband suggested that we check out the Atlantis Ballroom because he’s been to several events there and they had always been nice. Not only were they able to make an entire wedding happen in just TWO DAYS notice, but they went above and beyond! Everyone we dealt with was so friendly. The food was AMAZING. Our cake was so cute! Literally everything was better than perfection. They had a huge supply of decorations/colors/etc. that we were able to pick for them to use to decorate the ballroom and for the cocktail hour. They also used some of our own stuff at our request since I already worked so hard on it. They were able to accommodate every single person who had a dietary restriction (keto, GF, allergies). We got married 3 months ago and every time I see anyone that was at our wedding, they rave about how it was the best and most fun wedding they ever went to! We wouldn’t have been able to do it without Jen and everyone else at The Atlantis Ballroom. There’s no way you’ll be disappointed in your choice by going with The Atlantis Ballroom for any of your events! I know I’ll definitely host any of my events there and I recommend to everyone I know. Thank you again for making our wedding the most magical day

From the very first tour with Brenda, we knew Johnson’s Locust Hall Farm was truly special. There was an immediate warmth and sense of family that carried through every step of the planning process and into our wedding day. Our guests felt that same warmth. Allie, our Day of Coordinator, was absolutely incredible. Her organization, calm presence, and attention to detail made our entire day seamless and completely stress free. She and her team captured my vision perfectly and ensured everything flowed beautifully from start to finish. The farmhouse was the perfect space for getting ready, and every single person we worked with was attentive, kind, and genuinely invested in our experience. We also used Johnson’s in-house floral team, and Carol and her team completely blew us away. The florals were beyond anything I could have imagined and seeing them for the first time brought me to tears. They were truly stunning and transformed the space into something magical. The venue itself is breathtaking, but what truly sets Johnson’s Locust Hall Farm apart is the people. The Johnson family made us feel like family, and we are eternally grateful for the care and love they poured into making our wedding day a dream come true. We cannot wait to return to the farm for future celebrations or even just to enjoy a delicious homemade apple cider donut. Johnson’s Locust Hall Farm will always hold a special place in our hearts.

Summit Catering was amazing for our June 7th wedding at Valenzano Winery Vintner’s Pavillion. From the very beginning, the experience was wonderful—we loved our tastings and bringing our families along to share in the planning process.

On the wedding day, the food was incredible and beautifully presented—our guests are still raving about how much they enjoyed it. The staff was fantastic as well, so kind and attentive, and we received countless compliments about how professional and welcoming they were. Summit even added sweet decorative touches that made the day feel extra special. The venue was seriously so stunning, our guests could not believe how beautiful the space was on the day of. We also love their wine and it was so special sipping it with our guests. Our maître d’, Betty, was truly amazing—she made sure we had everything we needed (our glasses and plates were never empty), kept the night running smoothly, and made us feel so cared for. We also loved that the package included a beautiful cake from Country Sweets and DJ Stew from Time Productions, which tied everything together and made the planning process so convenient. We are so grateful to Summit Catering for making our day at Valenzano Winery unforgettable and would highly recommend them to any couple looking for incredible food, wonderful people, and a team that goes above and beyond! - Jaime & Ryan

We are getting married at the Bishop Farmstead in Southampton NJ with Jeffrey Miller Catering this Saturday!!!!! We chose this venue for the historic barn, presentation partnership, and catering through JAM Catering. The main event space is a big beautiful red barn with an outdoor area and lower level for cocktail hour. The stairs in the main barn were a key feature to our choosing this venue for our wedding as they provide a great background for pictures and a grand entrance to the reception space. They lead to a second floor which is the main barn area for dinner. The venue also houses a historic farmhouse built in the 1750s by a second-generation Quaker farmer and is now home to a nature preserve. Included in our package is a custom menu from JAM, access to private wedding party suites for getting ready, a team of wedding professionals to help with the details, and beautiful outdoor spaces for pictures and video of our wedding. We had a private tasting with JAM in Philadelphia where we got to try a sampling of hors d'oeuvres, salad, dinner, and desserts with as private chef. The food was absolutely incredible!!!!! Everything was fresh, farm-to-table, unique, and beautifully presented. It was a great date night and we were totally stuffed at the end! Really looking forward to our big day this weekend!

The Maitre De went missing a lot throughout the day, to the point where my uncle had to find her whenever i needed. They set up & cleaned everything up for us which was lovely. the hotel bar stayed open late (sunday wedding) but you couldn’t make it private. so you had people at the bar trying to add to an open tab. you get a room block, the director of rooms Rebecca is very easy to work with as well. the outdoor ceremony space is gorgeous!!!

You get a better price if you're a township resident, but even the pricing for out-of-township couples was still so reasonable! The location was very close to the train station and there was plenty of parking available for our guests. You'll be limited to their approved caterers and we went with D&D and the food was fantastic. They even had a special spread for our vegan family members which we greatly appreciated! The Temple Garden was beautiful and we really lucked out with our photographer knowing the location well enough to recommend where to shoot our pictures. But I definitely recommend going at least once to scope out where you want your couple pictures taken.

The food is amazing, which was seen at the mock wedding tasting (this is great so you can see that they have quality food). They hold only one event at a time, making your day their focus. The main room has great acoustics and the staff are so attentive to all the details. Lisa was our maitre'd and she was truly to definition of professional.

From the moment we first inquired, their communication was detailed, prompt, and organized like a military operation - we never had to worry about a single detail. The space itself was very well-kept and easy to customize to our needs, and the food was absolutely delicious. On the day of, they didn't let a single problem bother me, and the weather was perfect - not a cloud in the sky literally or figuratively. Walking into the reception space the night of was truly magical, and we are so grateful to the entire team at Tim McLoone's for making our special day absolutely perfect.

*Please note, we booked Cedar Run for the ceremony only* One of the biggest takeaways we received from our wedding was how much everybody liked the ceremony. The beautiful view of the amphitheatre on the lake was absolutely gorgeous, and the weather held up beautifully! We paid extra for the animal ambassadors to make an appearance and it was worth every penny because they were a huge hit with wedding guests. We booked our reception hall first, so we needed a place that would allow us to do only our ceremony, and Cedar Run was the only place nearby that was affordable and actually gave us additional amenities for the cost. Not to mention your donation goes towards the upkeep of the facility and helping out the animals! We were also very big on having a backup plan just in case of inclement weather and they have at least two facilities that could work during rain. The lake, bridge, and woods all make for beautiful shots as you can see. The staff was great to work with and the animals are the cherry on top. Photo Credit: Cyan Blue Photography

My wife and I got married in Princeton in August, and we hosted a dinner / welcome party at Ficus on a Friday evening. We cannot recommend it highly enough for an event! Every course of dinner was phenomenal, and it felt like we were getting 5-star quality food at a very reasonable price. The smoked salmon canapes, ratatouille, seabass, potato croquettes, desserts - all superb (and that's not even half of the things we ate!). The h'ors d'oeuvres were also delicious, and the service was extremely friendly - Quinta and the team were great to work with prior to the event as well. The space itself was perfect, with a good amount of room on the outdoor patio and plenty of space inside. (We had 80 people at the event). Perfect for folks who might be a little more COVID-cautious and prefer to eat outside. If you want to host an event in Princeton, Ficus is a great spot.

What Types of Wedding Venues Can You Find in New Jersey?

The venue scene in New Jersey covers just about every style imaginable.

Modern couples gravitate toward industrial spaces such as The Art Factory in Paterson where contemporary design meets character and uniqueness.

Wedding venues in New Jersey typically run between $8,600 and $10,600, which falls right in line with the national range of $6,500-$12,000. Your overall costs will scale with your guest count.
