We absolutely loved having our wedding at North Shore House. From the moment we first stepped into the reception room and saw the breathtaking lake view, we knew it was the perfect place for us. The entire venue is so warm and inviting, creating a wonderful atmosphere for our celebration. The food was absolutely delicious! Our guests are still raving about how good everything was. What truly made our day unforgettable was the staff. Every single person was so lovely and worked tirelessly to make our day feel so special. We are so grateful for their hard work and dedication. Our only tiny regret was missing our special plates during cocktail hour in the excitement of the day—we were so looking forward to trying everything! The property truly speaks for itself.

I recently had my wedding at the Madison Hotel. I can say that my wedding was the wedding I always dreamed of. From beginning to end, the staff was very professional, especially my Maitre'd Joe Zimmerman and his assistant Jose. From the day of the rehearsal till the next day of the wedding they were fantastic. We held our rehearsal dinner at Rods and the food was phenomenal. The day of the wedding, the ceremony was held in the dreamy conservatory and the reception was in the grand ballroom. The transition went seamlessly. They worked very well with all my vendors, DJ, photographer, and string quartet. I had a decorator that they let her come in to stage early and when the conservatory and ballroom were available, they let her right in. They also provided us with a bridal suite for us the get ready in the day of. The whole staff was very attentive and courteous. The food was absolutely amazing at cocktail hour and the reception, we had no complaints! Two bars with top shelf liquor was available the whole night. At the end of the night we had a sparkler sendoff, the staff knew exactly what to do and it all worked out perfectly. We stood at the hotel both nights. The night of the rehearsal we had separate king size bedrooms and the wedding night they provide us with a complimentary honeymoon suite, which was amazing. I highly recommend the Madison Hotel.

Oh my goodness where do I begin?! The experience of having our wedding at Resorts Casino has been nothing short of amazing. Nancy is an absolute treasure and pleasure to work with from start to finish. With the help of Anthony they turned our magical day into an absolute dream that not only we enjoyed but all of our guest. We had a serious loss in our family two months before our wedding and Nancy took a lot of weight off of our shoulders and came up with solutions to help us get through the day. Nancy and he team are there for you every step of the way and make you feel like royalty, treating you like gold. In a historic place like Resorts casino is a great place to have a wedding for not only the old school Atlantic City feel but the food and hospitality is out of this world. The chef created food that had our family and friends talking days after the wedding. We will forever have this wonderful memory of our wedding day and it is all because of Nancy, Anthony, and Resorts Casino for making our dreams come true. There is a true love for them all!

Don’t overlook the Short Hills Hilton for your wedding! It was the perfect location for our big day, offering a central gathering spot where our guests didn’t have to worry about traveling throughout the day. We explored several traditional venues, but none felt as right as this one. We had a November wedding and didn’t expect to have an outdoor ceremony, but the hotel’s lovely patio space was a wonderful option, and surprisingly, the noise from the JFK Parkway wasn’t an issue. For our indoor ceremony, the venue features a permanent enclosed tent structure. At first glance, it didn’t seem like much, but with the help of the event coordinator Vivian Cohen’s help and coordination with our florist, the space was transformed into something breathtaking. The reception space was spacious and perfect for our 170 guests—large enough for everyone to feel comfortable but not so big that it felt empty. Guests still rave about the food and service! The chef and maître d' truly deserve all the praise. The hors d’oeuvres were diverse and delicious, from sliders to a pasta bar to sushi. We chose the salmon and short ribs for dinner, which we selected during a private tasting session. The hotel grounds, filled with foliage, were perfect for photos, especially as we were lucky to have beautiful fall colors for our shoot. Victoria at the Hilton was incredibly helpful with coordinating room blocks, hotel room gift bags, and storage. Vivian was a dream to work with—she was welcoming, communicative, and made everything run smoothly. Her checklist was a lifesaver for keeping track of details, and she was hands-on with day-of coordination, ensuring everyone knew where they needed to be and helping with the little touches that made everything perfect. We couldn’t have asked for a better venue or team to help make our wedding day unforgettable!

We had our wedding at the Flanders, and they did an incredible job! The hotel is a gorgeous venue for weddings, and from our first tour it stood out as a unique location that would look great in our photos. The food was excellent; we especially enjoyed the dim sum station at our cocktail hour. Our guests gave rave reviews about their meals. Lisa and Molly were great coordinators who assured us throughout the whole planning process that everything would go smoothly - and then made it happen! Being an obsessive planner myself, and doing all my decorations myself, I put together a binder of my plans for how each piece should be displayed. Lisa and Molly took that with grace, asked questions where needed, and made it happen! Joanne was an amazing maitre d' who anticipated our every need. She ensured that the day went perfectly, starting with the moment we walked down the aisle and she gave us some hints for scoring the best photos. She had also clearly read our binder. I was especially impressed when we came out of our ceremony and she had a platter of drinks ready for us and our wedding party while the marriage certificates were being signed. She was able to make a lighting change in one of our decorations happen while we were decompressing after the ceremony. During our Farewell Breakfast the next day, she coordinated packing away our homemade decorations, allowing us to enjoy the event without stress. Overall, the day went perfectly. It really is true that the best-laid plans will only succeed with a good team, and I feel strongly that we made an excellent choice in trusting this team for our wedding.

The communication with the team at Renault Winery was patchy and inconsistent, making it difficult to rely on them leading up to our wedding day. However, once we arrived, the day-of coordinators were outstanding and the venue itself was stunning. The spacious and creative formal spaces made for a beautiful backdrop to our special day. It was seamless like a well-oiled machine, and they did an amazing job executing all the details. Unfortunately, it was frustrating that they tried to nickel and dime us for every little thing, even though we had already paid a premium 40,000 to book the venue. They also had nowhere for the gentlemen to get ready and wouldn't allow us to bring any outside food or drinks to the bridal suite. Overall, the quality of their work and the value we received was quite good, but the communication issues and hidden fees were a real letdown. Other than that, outstanding venue and beautiful space to get married their day of coordinators are talented and passionate.

Truly no words can capture how amazing our experience with Hotel LBI was. Exactly one month out from our wedding date, our original venue called to tell us they could no longer host our wedding. As fate would have it, Hotel LBI had our date available, and it ended up being the best thing to happen to us. From the very first panicked phone call to Donna, she turned what was a stressful time into a dream experience. She was so empathetic to our situation, willing to work with us, and up for the challenge of putting our wedding together in under 30 days. Every interaction was kind, professional, and encouraging. The entire planning process was seamless despite the time crunch we were in. She makes you feel like you’re the only and most important couple she is working with. We absolute love her!! On the day of, everything went better than we could have imagined. The venue was beautiful, the staff is amazing, and the food is great. The bridal assistant Leah is a super hero. She was by my side all day, with a fanny pack that always had whatever random item I found myself needing. Due to some happy tears, my make up smudged a bit. Not only did she race up to the room to grab my make up bag, she redid the area for me and saved the day. I also spilled espresso martini down my dress minutes before the ceremony, and she quickly got the stain out before I even had time to process it. Vinny our maître D was also there every second with a smile, drinks for us, and asking what we needed. They are truly the best of the best. Our only regret is not booking with Hotel LBI from the beginning. What started as a nightmare, turned into the best day of our lives thanks to Donna and the Hotel LBI staff. I will never forget them

Welcome to LBI National Golf & Resort, where you can immerse yourself in the experience of nearly 200 acres of meticulously maintained and reimagined golf, accompanied by a memorable type of hospitality culture. LBI National is a destination that attracts guests from all over the nation, whether they are seeking to enjoy our championship golf course or indulge in locally inspired cuisine and fully renovated guest accommodations. Situated on carefully tended grounds, we are conveniently located just minutes away from the bridge of Long Beach Island and within walking distance to the bustling waterfront town of Little Egg Harbor City. Our 35,000-square-foot clubhouse serves as the heart of our resort, featuring a variety of amenities including restaurants, a pro shop, outdoor spaces, and an incredible view of the Atlantic City skyline.

I don’t even know where to begin! Our wedding was 5/18/25 but we planned it for over a year and a half. From the beginning, Stephanie was so warming and really drew us into the beautiful venue as it was still under renovation. She made the booking process so simple and showed us nothing but kindness. In the midst of the waiting period of planning, Caitlin became the new venue coordinator who was our go to girl for everything. Anything I threw at her, wanted to change, or was concerned about, Caitlin handled with happiness and ease. She answered a million and one emails from me, met with me multiple times and really helped my vision come to life. I can’t say enough about her because Caitlin really did run the show from the moment we began working together to the very end of our wedding weekend. She helped plan and organize our rehearsal dinner, morning after brunch, and stuck by our sides from the morning of our wedding to the end of our after party (at 2 am the following morning). She was involved in every single step of the decorating and events that took place on our wedding day and I don’t know how would it have all been executed without her. Caitlin is the real MVP of our wedding and I can’t thank her enough for all of the help and kindness she showed toward myself, my husband, and our families. Like I said, anything I threw at her, she handled and took care of with a smile. She really is the best The rest of the staff, Scott, Maddie, and Avery were amazing during our wedding weekend as well. Scott was so kind and helped my family in any way possible with the room bookings and Maddie and Avery also stuck aside mine and my husband’s side to make sure we were okay throughout the day. The staff was all in all, so attentive, kind, and helpful throughout the entire wedding day. Anything we needed, they were all there to help. As far as the wedding, guests are still raving about how beautiful the grounds were and how delicious all of the food was. The bartenders and servers were all so amazing as well. I cannot recommend and thank everybody at LBI National enough for the most amazing wedding day we could have.

We were searching for the perfect venue to host an intimate and special wedding celebration dinner in Cape May -one of our favorite beach towns - and Peter Shields Inn exceeded every expectation. Beautifully located just across the street from the beach in Cape May, NJ, the setting alone is stunning and full of charm. They graciously accommodated our group of 30 guests in their Brides Room for a private dinner, and despite the smaller wedding size, it felt every bit as meaningful, elegant, and memorable as a larger wedding celebration. We were able to bring in our own wedding cake and have on-site photography, which made the evening feel even more personal and special. Our guests also enjoyed relaxing on the porch with cocktails while my husband and I took photos on the beach. It was such a lovely and seamless experience. The entire staff was warm, welcoming, and attentive, but the event coordinator, Amy, truly went above and beyond. She was absolutely spectacular; always prompt, thorough, and thoughtful in her communication. She connected us with outstanding local vendors: Khalil for piano, Tim Joyce for photography, Cape Winds Florist for centerpieces, and Bake Works for our cake. Every single vendor she recommended was exceptional and easy to work with.  Amy also ensured that all dietary restrictions were handled with care and kindness, and she went out of her way to help set everything up in advance so that we could simply arrive, relax, and fully enjoy our time with our loved ones. Her patience, professionalism, and genuine care made the entire process stress-free and truly enjoyable. This was truly a 10/10 experience for us. We highly recommend Peter Shields Inn to anyone looking for a beautiful, intimate, and unforgettable setting to celebrate a marriage or special occasion. It was everything we hoped for and more.

I recently got married at the Chalfonte Hotel this past June. It was the most magical day. From the serene beauty of the Willow Tree garden to the simple elegance of the Magnolia Room, everything about the day was perfect. Of course, everyone loved having cocktail hour on the porch, which is personally my favorite part of the hotel. Even before and after the wedding family and friends loved getting together on the porch, having a cocktail, and just enjoying Cape May. I cannot begin to express how kind and amazing the staff are at the Chalfonte. Planning a wedding can definitely feel overwhelming but Ellie was so helpful and communicative every step of the way. Any ideas that we had about how we wanted the day to go she was so receptive to. She made sure that everything we had envisioned was there on our wedding day. If you want a wedding somewhere that is naturally beautiful, fun, and perfectly located, I highly recommend booking you wedding at the Chalfonte Hotel.

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.

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.

The whole team at The Albion really made our wedding dreams come to life - they are the absolute best and so much fun to work with. Deidre and Jennifer were kind and genuinely excited about every idea I brought to them during the planning process. Deidre, the manager, is so organized and thoughtful; from our very first tour, she made the entire timeline feel seamless. And as a type A bride, I had many questions lol Our guests are still raving about the food, the venue itself, and about how much fun the day was - The Albion knows how to throw a BANGER!!! The hotel is stunning and gave us the perfect non-traditional backdrop we were looking for. It was such a perk to have everything including ceremony, reception and after party all in the same location so no one had to worry about transportation, too. Kevin, the maître d’, and the entire day-of team were so on top of every detail. They had all of our decor and personal items packed up neatly and exactly as they came in, which we appreciated so much. And most memorably, Jennifer was right there for the nerve wracking moment before we walked down the aisle — so calming, so supportive, and so clearly passionate about what she does. Overall, our day was everything we wanted: the most special ceremony followed by the most lit dance party ever. We could not imagine a better venue or better people!!

We were married on 5/10/25 & I still am beaming ear to ear about my experience at Minerals Hotel. From the moment we stepped on the property to view the venue, we knew it was special. Rachel greeted us and gave us the grand tour & made us feel so comfortable. Her bubbly personality and enthusiasm for the space and everything they had to offer really sold us. We fell in love with everything. I did not realize my experience would be getting that much better with Dana as my coordinator. She went above and beyond to help us. She answered any and all of questions, she gave me honest feedback, and always put my needs ahead of anything else. She’s a professional & a saint. My whole experience as a bride was made better from her being there for us throughout the whole experience. Our wedding day went extremely smooth & I don’t know if it would have went that way without her and her team. Our wedding weekend was everything we could have wanted and more. The minerals hotel staff took care of everything and made everyone feel so comfortable. I cannot tell you how many people are still texting us about how amazing everything was and how they want to find more excuses to come to this hotel & have another event. For the weekend, we opted for a welcome party for all of our guests the night before & offered snacks and a cash bar in the diamond room- it really set the scene for the whole weekend. Our bartender that night kept the drinks flowing and everyone had the best time. The late night snacks were really good too. We also opted for a farewell brunch the day after the wedding in the same room and it was perfect. The breakfast buffet is unmatched & was much needed after a night of partying. We got married in the Sweetgrass Pavilion at Minerals hotel and it was perfect. Not only is the pavilion itself beautifully designed but the staff were on top of everything. They made sure that everyone had what they needed (which was a lot for a 180 person wedding) and were so organized. Our lovely bridal assistant, Kya, made sure my husband & I ate, were hydrated and even had to do a quick tailoring job for me to make my dress more comfortable to dance in haha. The dance floor was perfect for a big dance party, the chicken roulade & filet mignon were divine, and the bartenders made a fabulous lemon drop martini (my choice haha) There was not one thing I could say wrong about the whole night. The makeup artists (Marisol and Leah) and hairstylist (Caitlin) that we hired from the salon at Minerals were INCREDIBLE. Every single girl looked absolutely beautiful. A big concern when hiring was seeing how the makeup artists worked on mature skin & hooded eyes- they knocked it out of the park. These girls are extremely talented . The cocktail hour was amazing. Everyone was impressed with the food (also Kya wrapped up all the food for us so the day after the wedding my husband & I were able to try everything we weren’t able to- it was such a nice treat) & the after party pool party was so much fun (I highly recommend booking the pool, your guests, & you, will love it…and the after party churros- everyone ate those up). After the princess treatment we received at minerals hotel, I don’t think anyone should get married anywhere else. Dana, Kya, Rachel, & the rest of the minerals team made my dream wedding into a reality bigger than what I could have imagined for myself. Do not hesitate, book this venue, you will be so glad you did.

About wedding venues in New Jersey

Why Choose New Jersey for Your Wedding Day?

New Jersey gives you four distinct regions with unique wedding settings and styles to match any vision. September tops the charts for wedding inquiries here, so you'll want to plan ahead if you're eyeing a date during peak season. The varied landscapes mean you can find everything from waterfront elegance to historic charm without traveling far.

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

The venue scene in New Jersey covers just about every style imaginable. Luxury estates like Park Chateau in East Brunswick offer stunning French-inspired architecture with gorgeous European gardens that make for incredible photo backdrops. If water views are your thing, places like Liberty House showcase breathtaking NYC skyline panoramas right alongside the water. History buffs fall in love with venues like Pleasantdale Chateau in West Orange with its historic grounds and Mediterranean gardens. Modern couples gravitate toward industrial spaces such as The Art Factory in Paterson where contemporary design meets character and uniqueness.

How Much Should You Budget for a New Jersey Wedding?

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. A 50-person celebration averages around $25,059 while stepping up to 100 guests pushes that to $41,588. Mid-sized weddings with 150 guests come in around $57,123 and larger gatherings of 200 reach about $71,002. Going bigger? Expect to invest around $84,881 for 250 guests or $98,761 for 300 guests. These figures help you set realistic expectations as you start planning.

Hudson House brings Italian influence through Executive Chef Matteo Limoli's creative menu designs. The Rockleigh adjusts their menus seasonally and can customize dishes to match your personal tastes. Food quality varies dramatically between venues so tastings are essential.

Liberty House and Hudson House provide scenic settings that work perfectly with advanced audiovisual systems to bring your ceremony to distant loved ones.
