Nestled in the rolling hills of Northwestern New Jersey, wedding venue Bear Brook Valley offers a unique blend of refined countryside elegance and sophisticated industrial charm.

From breathtaking views to globally inspired cuisine and a dedicated team, we’re here to make your wedding unforgettable.

My husband and I got married at Bear Brook Valley this past weekend and it was absolutely PERFECT! Our experience with the Bear Brook team since we booked our date with them two years ago has been amazing. The renovations they completed last year are absolutely stunning. The boys absolutely loved getting ready in the new speakeasy lounge, the golf simulator was a huge hit! Our guests raved about the food and drinks. Our coordinator, Amanda was incredible! Not only did she walk me through the planning process (we did not hire an official wedding planner), but she responded promptly to all my questions via email and executed my entire vision the day of the wedding! Everything ran super smoothly. Our bridal and groom suite attendants, Amber and Cameron, were on top of everything the entire wedding day! Anytime we needed anything they were there. They were constantly making sure we had a drink in hand if we needed one, Amber helped me get a stain out of my dress, and they both graciously steamed all of the dresses and tuxes! Something we both absolutely love about Bear Brook is that their team makes you feel special and valued. They truly value making sure your day is the best it can be, which was not my experience touring other venues. Because of this incredible team, I was able to enjoy every minute of my day without any stress! If you’re considering booking Bear Brook - DO IT! We genuinely cannot recommend them enough!

West Song Farm was the perfect venue for our wedding celebration. The team there was incredibly friendly, warm and accommodating, making the planning process a breeze. On the day of, the natural, rustic farm vibes created such a beautiful and relaxed atmosphere. We were thrilled to be able to use fresh cut flowers from their gardens that our florist friend was able to style into gorgeous arrangements, and the farm fresh tomatoes we got to use in our home cooked meals were absolutely delicious. We chose to let their chickens roam during our reception, which was especially a hit with our younger guests—and made for some great photo ops. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect setting to celebrate our special day. Highly recommend West Song Farm to any couple looking for a beautiful, authentic farm wedding venue.

My husband and I chose this as our wedding venue. Some months before our wedding they had implemented a team of women to help with any questions and planning. These ladies were extremely helpful with answering questions and were typically quick to respond. The day before our wedding, we went to set up the tables and decorations I had made. The inn keeper Tricia was super kind and let me feel like I had a full run of the venue to do whatever I had envisioned. She basically told me I could do whatever I needed, and if I needed extra hands for help to let her know and she would get me help. The day of the wedding was very hot, and there was an unfortunate breakdown of the AC in our getting ready room and suite for the night. They placed us in the next Best room for the night and got us in a cooler space for getting ready. Even with that, if I had to do the wedding all over again, I wouldn’t have changed a thing. I am so grateful to the team working with me leading up to the wedding day as well as everybody involved to make our wedding day so special. If you choose this place as your wedding venue, I feel as though you will not be disappointed, even when things go wrong.

We cannot put into words how incredible our daughter and son in law’s wedding was this past Saturday night. The entire event was way beyond what we even imaged it would be. The Meadow Wood is an absolutely beautiful, elegant venue (inside and outside) with every detail accounted for. That theme continues from start to finish with all they do. The food was not only delicious but was presented in such a way you couldn’t help but simply just say “Wow". We are happy we took a moment to pause and take it all in - from cocktail hour displays, to main course plating, to desserts that went on forever …. – “Amazing!!”. We appreciate all the work, professionalism and hands on attentive approach from the staff (a special shout out to Juan and Becky!!). None of this could have been accomplished without them working together in the same manner. It was seamless. Thank you, George, John, Tim, Charlie, Frank and all at the Meadow Wood for making our daughter and son-in-law’s wedding “the best day ever “as they begin their new life together as a married couple

The Mansion at Mountain Lakes was the perfect spot for our intimate second wedding. From our first conversation, the team was direct and pleasant, making the planning process smooth and stress-free. They paid close attention to every detail and went out of their way to accommodate our needs, which made us feel truly supported throughout the whole experience. The space itself is beautiful and elegant without being over the top, which was exactly what we wanted for a smaller celebration.

We have delivered cakes to couples hosting their wedding at Camelback over the years. That has required coordination with Jennifer and the team. Everyone we have encountered has been easy to work with, caring and attentive! From administrators to waitstaff, we have witnessed them going above and beyond to ensure the couples goals are met, before and after the event! For this reason we have listed them as one of the vendors we prefer to work with in the area. Highly recommended because of the great team, and spectacular views!

Where do I even start? Our wedding at The Barn at Villa Venezia was truly a dream come true. From the venue itself, to the food, to the entire team behind it, everything exceeded what we had imagined. I genuinely would not have changed a single thing about our day. The entire team at The Barn is incredible. We worked most closely with Sabrina and Nicole throughout the planning process, and they are absolute rockstars. From all of the pre-wedding prep through the wedding day and beyond, they made everything feel so seamless. They were organized, responsive, incredibly helpful and always made us feel like we were in good hands. On the wedding day, Nicole was with us for the entire day, making sure there were no hiccups, checking that we had everything we needed and handling so many little details behind the scenes so we could just enjoy ourselves. The food was UNREAL. Our guests could not stop talking about it (and neither could we). Everything was incredible from start to finish, and the service was just as impressive. Their entire staff worked together so seamlessly, and you could tell everyone knew exactly what needed to happen and when. And then there’s the venue itself. The vibes were immaculate, the ambiance was perfect, and the space is just STUNNING. Every part of it photographed beautifully and created exactly the atmosphere we wanted for our wedding. What stood out to us most, though, was how much this team genuinely cares about their couples. You can tell they are invested in making sure your day feels special and that you are actually able to enjoy it. We never felt like just another wedding on the calendar. We felt supported, taken care of and completely confident in the team from beginning to end. The Barn at Villa Venezia is truly the best venue in the Hudson Valley!

Our experience at The Legacy Castle for my son and daughter-in-law’s wedding was nothing short of exceptional. Our family will always be grateful for the beautiful memories created there. Having worked in the wedding business for 30 years, choosing the right venue was not easy for me. I know that a beautiful setting is only part of what makes a wedding successful. I didn’t want to see only what the guests would see—I needed to understand what happened behind the scenes. A well-organized venue is what allows a wedding to feel effortless and flawless, with calm professionalism instead of last-minute scrambling. From our first visit, coordinators Felix and Marina understood exactly what mattered to me. They didn’t simply give us a tour; they took the time to answer my questions and show us everything I wanted to see, including the immaculate kitchen. Many venues would never allow prospective clients to see their kitchens, so their openness, patience, and pride in the property gave me complete confidence. The booking process was just as easy. I explained our vision, they listened, and they made everything go smoothly from the very beginning. To bring our vision to life, I trusted my friend Phil Sammut from Pedestal to decorate the castle—and he did an incredible job. Everything looked absolutely magical. Our guests could not believe how beautiful the venue was or how wonderful the food and service were. They were still talking about the wedding a month later! On the wedding day, Jose, the maître d’, was exactly the person we needed. He handled every detail calmly and perfectly. When a few issues arose with outside vendors, Jose immediately stepped in and resolved them seamlessly. Because he had everything under control, I didn’t have to spend the day asking questions or worrying. Instead, I was able to be fully present with my family and truly enjoy celebrating my son and daughter-in-law at their reception. That meant more to me than I can express. When we arrived, Felix, Marina, Jose, Julianna, and the entire staff greeted us warmly and made us feel genuinely at home. When my son and daughter-in-law arrived, Julianna, their bridal assistant, cared for them from beginning to end with such kindness and attention. Knowing they were in her hands gave me tremendous peace of mind. After 30 years in the wedding business, I know what outstanding service looks like—and it takes a great deal to exceed my expectations. The Legacy Castle did exactly that. Beyond the stunning setting, the entire team gave us confidence, comfort, and the freedom to enjoy every precious moment. We will always remember not only what they did for us, but how special they made our family feel. I recommend The Legacy Castle wholeheartedly.

We had our ceremony, cocktail hour and reception at Birchwood. From the first day we met with Farrell to the actual wedding day the planning was so smooth. Farrell is so professional and knowledgeable and clearly loves the job she does. The venue itself was spotless. It is stunningly beautiful to the point where I didn't have to worry much about decorations or spend big money on centerpieces. Small subtle decor along with the beauty of the Birchwood made for a stunning wedding day. The food was beyond amazing. We did not want a sit down formal dinner so Farrell helped us create a cocktail hour type situation with various carving stations and food perfectly placed around the room. There were so many options for everyone, even those with special diets. They were able to accommodate everyone and their needs.

The staff is so accommodating and helpful. They took my vision and brought it to life!! Working with Maya, Junior, and the other attendants just made the day go so smoothly. They cater to any need you may have and with a smile. I truly felt like a princess on this day and wish I could relive it over and over!

Dreams really do come true at the Tides!The best thing you can do is book your wedding there. From the day we booked and leading up to our big day Michael was very forthcoming and helpful. He was very responsive, followed up on all my questions and made sure we felt supported. The venue itself looks out of a fairytale. They are in a rural location so the greenery as you drive up is beautiful. The inside looks akin to a palace with many rooms and a beautiful lobby.  You don't even have to decorate too much because the place itself is so elegant and classy. The garden is soooo breathtaking. They have 2 ceremony spaces outside, beautiful flowers and greenery. Plus it's so big! You get a lot of bang for your buck. I didn't hire a day of coordinator and I basically planned everything myself with the bridal party, but the Maitre D and venue staff were very instrumental in making sure our event ran smoothly. I was super nervous thinking about the day of. I planned everything out but couldn't leave my seat because hello, I'm the bride lol. I was getting ready all morning.  But thanks to our Maitre D Alberto, the event flower perfectly. He kept us on time. Helped get the bridal party together. He literally went above and beyond. It's so incredible just thinking back to it. I know some venues are hands off. But the staff was just so dedicated to making our every request happen if possible. Thanks to Alberto, our wedding day went by beautifully without any hitch or drama. It's unbelievable because I heard there is always some kind of issue the day of. We paid for a 6am opening so me and my bridesmaids could get ready at the venue. Michael set up a wonderful breakfast in the bridal suite it was like being home! We were so comfortable and we're ready on time for our 11am start. Truly wonderful. We had the small bridal suite so to our small party but it was super nice and a great set up for getting ready! The food and the drinks were to die for. First of all, the cocktail hour was loaded with so much food! Not only do they include a variety of delicious hor'devours. You get to choose from from different entrees and stations. The guest are still raving about it a month later! Everything was excellent. From the presentation to the quality of the meals, it was the best wedding food I've ever had. When the reception came all the guests were too stuffed for their reception entrees! My cake came from David's Custom Cakes, their partner. I got the dulce de leche filling and let me tell you it was so rich! I'm definitely coming back the next time I need a cake! Honestly I am a happy bride. I have no regrets, in fact it was even better than I imagined! Don't hesitate to book them, you will not regret it!

We started the wedding planning process by starting to look at venues. Falkirk was the first venue we had toured and immediately fell in love with it. From seeing the golf course, the waterfall, the gazebo, and incredible views, it was breathtaking and we imagined ourselves getting married there immediately. We met with Andrea during our tour, and had the pleasure of getting to work with her throughout our planning process, and was absolutely incredible on the day of our wedding! She made herself available to answer our (many) questions, going over timelines, and ensuring that our vision and dreams for the day came true. They had it all, from phenomenal staff to incredible food, not to mention the stunning views. We could not have asked for better! They truly make you feel like a VIP throughout the entire wedding weekend. Andrea was an absolute gem to work with, and made sure everything we dreamed of came true. And when we got the opportunity to have fireworks during our reception?! To this day, we have friends and family still talking about the firework show. Andrea worked seamlessly with other vendors and the firework staff to make sure it was a surprise show that no one would forget. Our wedding day was a dream, and we are so glad we had it at the Falkirk Estate and Country Club. We are so incredibly happy we got the pleasure to work with them, and would recommend any couples that are starting the wedding planning process, to reach out to them.

Before it became our beloved event venue, the historic Crystal Plaza was originally a residential mansion.

While the restored building has since been reincarnated as one of the leading wedding and event spaces in the tri-state area, it still maintains the feeling of its 19th century grandeur. Our impeccable, white-glove service begins the moment you arrive. Crystal Plaza hosts only one event at a time, ensuring that our dedicated team focuses singularly on you and your every need. From the elegant Grand Ballroom boasting numerous chandeliers (how the Crystal Plaza name came to be) to the lush gardens that change beautifully with the seasons, there are myriad backdrops to complement your wedding, social affair or corporate event.

I originally envisioned a sleek, modern venue, but Crystal Plaza completely changed my mind from the moment we walked in. Their warmth, professionalism, and attention to detail were immediately apparent. We had heard amazing things from friends, and after experiencing it ourselves, it was an easy yes. The entire team was incredibly accommodating throughout the planning process and on the day of. Iris was with us from our first tour through the wedding day — always available, supportive, and genuinely invested in making our day perfect.

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.
