“The most perfect day! We got rained out but thankfully the inside ceremony space is just as gorgeous as outside! The staff was very attentive, especially Christine (our wedding planner) and Carly. They even tried to scrub some of the mud out of my dress before I walked down the aisle. They were constantly checking in on us during the reception, coming by our table to ask if we needed anything, especially drinks. They even offered to keep my food warm because dinner came out while I was in the photo booth. What I loved most was that they brought us samples of all the cocktail hour food since we would be missing out while I was getting my dress bustled. We got nothing but compliments on how good the food was!”

Planning a wedding states away, while also in the process of moving is not an easy task, but the staff at the farm made everything seamless down to every little detail.

“JAM Hospitality is unlike any other on the market! Not only are their venues gorgeous, but the people they employ are top notch! My husband and I were just married at Bishop Farmstead (Southampton NJ) and had the most amazing time start to finish. From the moment we started planning with our event coordinator Gina to the actual wedding day, we couldn’t have asked for a more relaxed experience. Even in a torrential downpour, Gina and her assistant Kayla made our day better than our dreams. We couldn’t be more grateful to JAM for taking care of us and our guests, especially as almost a third of them have dietary restrictions that were met with perfectly modified meals that left no one out of experiencing their amazing cooking. I will definitely be recommending JAM to anyone in the market for an affordable, magical wedding day with incredible staff who make the craziest parts seem like a breeze. Thank you so much for the most perfect wedding day!!!”

“We recently had our wedding at Cecil Creek in December, and are still beaming about how incredible the day was. From the moment we met Sam and toured the farm, we knew this was the right spot for us. The service and warmth we experienced on the tour was a perfect indicator of what was to come during the months of planning. Denise was great to work with, and during our details meeting asked us questions we had not even thought of. They had an amazing selection of decorations that we could use, and added extra chairs to the Greenhouse so that everyone had a seat at our ceremony. We had originally been hopeful that we could host our ceremony outdoors if the weather held up and the staff was there to support that dream however when we determined it was too cold they pivoted with grace. While the greenhouse had been our second choice it ended up being the perfect ceremony site and we got compliments from so many guests about how unique and cozy it was. The food and service were absolutely incredible! Luna and her staff had eyes and ears throughout the entire space, and were beyond accommodating to everyone with dietary restrictions and those needing golf cart rides in between spaces during the night. When I pulled a muscle during the dancing, Luna brought me orange slices for electrolytes! That moment encapsulates the incredible hospitality! All of our guests were extremely impressed with the incredible food and menu during cocktail hour and the reception, and we are still getting guests telling us how amazing the staff and the food was throughout the night. We were quite a large event with around 165 guests and the space was absolutely perfect for our size–cozy and yet spacious enough for a large dance floor and dessert bar. We had our cocktail hour in the market which was also cozy but comfortable enough. We liked the flow from the greenhouse, to the market, and finally into the barn to cap off the night. To sum it up once more– this was the best day of our lives and we attribute quite a bit of that joy to the ambience, aesthetic, and mostly service at Cecil Creek Farm. You will not regret working with Sam, Denise, Luna, Mark and the whole team! **Photos courtesy of Jennifer Morris Photography”

“Founders Grove is one of the most unique and enchanting properties I’ve had the pleasure of visiting.

“Rock Island was the best decision we could have ever made. Our experience was 110% perfect from start to finish. From our first tour with Stephanie, we were hooked and immediately knew 'this was the place'. In the 18 months leading up to our wedding, we never felt overwhelmed or alone in the planning process. Our coordinator Elaine, was and IS the best of the best. Every email, check-in meeting and question was always greeted with excitement, warmth and reassurance. Elaine made sure everything was perfect not only throughout the planning process, but especially on the day of our wedding. The day itself truly was flawless. Elaine, Abby, Robby, Jill and the countless other Rock Island Staff we worked with day of ensured that not one thing was out of place. We, alongside all our guests, felt so much love and attention from the staff that they felt like family by the end of the night. We cannot thank you all enough for the work you do and how meant for your roles each of you are. The venue itself is stunning, with an updated and picturesque lakeside setting that felt so inclusive and special. We could not have asked for a more beautiful backdrop for our wedding. We came into wedding planning wanting an 'indoor/ outdoor' vibe and Rock Island delivered that in every way. The food was also some of the best wedding food we have seen/ tried (our guests would agree!) which is a true testament to the kitchen staff! Additionally, our bar staff did a phenomenal job with our signature cocktails and espresso martini bar. We hope to experience RILC as a guest some day! It's been almost a month and my husband and I talk about our wedding every day. Every family member and friend we talk to tell us it was one of the most incredible weddings they have ever been to. If we could relive the day over, there's not one thing we would change. Thank you Rock Island Lake Club for EVERYTHING. Would recommend to anyone looking for a NJ wedding venue.”

“We got married at Turkey Trac Farms in June of 2023 & I can easily say that it was the best decision we ever made. I look back at our wedding and I can truly say that I enjoyed every step of the experience because of how down-to-early, personable, and accommodating Miranda at Turkey Trac Farms is. It's so hard to find a place where you can custom plan your wedding day and have an unlimited number of options with vendors, personalization, and decor. We were able to choose our own caterer, DJ, photographer, photobooth, hair/makeup team, etc. We were allowed to bring our own decor and even had the night before to come decorate ourselves. And the best part, Miranda was there to help us every step of the way! She made sure our day went fully as planned, that we were taken care of with food and drinks throughout the night and really helped us ensure that our day would be everything we dreamed of. I cannot thank her enough for helping us create a day that we will forever remember and will forever be grateful for!”

Our ceremony was tucked away in the woods surrounded by trees and flowers and our reception was under their tented patio. The entire property is so gorgeous and peaceful, and the staff was super friendly and accommodating. Some of our guests told us it was their favorite wedding they've ever been to.

They went above and beyond, unpacking all of our wedding decor and setting it up perfectly. The food was also delicious!

“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!”
