As a remarkably well-preserved example of a 19th-Century canal town and the site of a 400-year-old Lenape Indian village, Waterloo Village is an incredibly valuable piece of New Jersey history.

Our wedding day at The Hamilton Manor was an absolute fairytale, more beautiful and magical than we ever could have imagined. From the moment we began planning to the very last song of the night, we felt completely cared for, supported, and celebrated. Diana, our wedding director, made the entire planning process feel effortless. She brought such calm, confidence, and organization to every step. No question was too small, no detail overlooked. Because of her, we were able to truly enjoy our engagement knowing everything was in the best hands. On our wedding day, Kristen ensured that everything flowed perfectly. I never once felt stressed or overwhelmed because she was always one step ahead, quietly making sure each moment unfolded exactly as it should. She allowed us to be fully present, soaking in every second without worry. Milan, my bridal attendant, was truly my fairy godmother. She anticipated needs before I even realized I had them. From adjusting my dress to making sure I had water, a moment to breathe, or anything at all, she made me feel so special and cared for. I will never forget the comfort and kindness she showed me throughout the day. Lloyd, our maitre d’, went above and beyond in every possible way. If our hands were empty, he was there with a drink. If we or our families needed anything, he was already taking care of it. His attentiveness, warmth, and genuine care did not go unnoticed. He made us and our loved ones feel incredibly important. And the food was beyond incredible. Truly a 1000 out of 10. Our guests are still talking about it and telling us they have never experienced a wedding quite like ours. The quality, presentation, and service were exceptional. Hearing our friends and family say it was the nicest wedding they have ever attended means everything to us, and that is such a testament to The Hamilton Manor and the amazing team behind it. We wish we could relive the day over and over again and somehow make it last longer. It was elegant, joyful, seamless, and filled with love. We are endlessly grateful to The Hamilton Manor for giving us the wedding of our dreams and memories we will cherish forever. With all our love and gratitude, Alissa and Jarred

Our wedding could not have been any better, thanks to Liberty House and their wonderful staff. Aurora was our contact at Liberty House, and she had everything down to a science. I never had to stress about anything. She answered all of our questions quickly and never made me feel dumb for asking the simplest of questions. I truly appreciated her guidance. The food at Liberty House was divine. Truly, their chefs are a league above others. The options we had for food selections were incredible, and we're so happy with everything we picked. Our guests still talk about the mozzarella station! On the day of the wedding, the staff was, in short, flawless. Once we arrived, they were attentive and got us and our wedding party anything we needed. When sending over our decor, I had given them a rough idea of how we wanted things to look. But I never imagined that they'd set up everything so beautifully! They took my one-sentence description and turned it into a masterpiece. Throughout the night, the staff was always there to help. From walking in my dress to getting me hot water when I was freezing, they were always ready to help. When my drink was low, they got me a new one. When I started to leave without my shoes on, they grabbed me some flip flops. When we decided last-minute that we wanted to have a rehearsal dinner at the Madison Rose, they made the process seamless. My wedding wasn't stressful. I felt like a guest at my wedding thanks to their staff. The grounds are gorgeous, the food is to die for, and the staff is exceptional!

I don't even know where to begin - from the second I walked into the Rockleigh doors on my tour I just knew this was where I needed to get married! Not only are the grounds and the venue spectacular, but everyone we met was so kind, personable and wonderful to be around. Bari was assigned to me as my venue coordinator, and she was such a joy to work with from start to finish. She answered all my questions throughout the process, in our meetings, and went above and beyond leading up too as well as day of event. Now comes wedding day - from start to finish the Rockleigh staff is UNMATCHED! There are truly not enough words and thank yous to describe what they did for my family, bridal party, myself & my husband to make our wedding day absolutely day perfect. My bridal attendants Brayan & Martina were SO amazing, as well as our maitre'd Colon! We absolutely loved them. They went above and beyond and jumped into action more times than one. For example, my mother in laws dress ripped down the side seam and they were able to completely fix, no questions asked – truly unbelievable!!! Managers Jamie and Daniela, who we didn’t work with as much day of, kept everything running smoothly behind the scenes. Every little detail you can think of and anything you may need for day of – they have already thought of! My guests are still raving about the endless delicious food & drinks, professionalism of the staff/service, and stunning venue. Overall, I couldn't have dreamt up a better wedding day experience & would recommend Rockleigh to ANY couple! I can only hope to be invited there as a guest someday so I can experience from that perspective as well. Until then I will relive our day in my head – and through photos – over and over again!

It's taken me a couple months to write this review since getting married at Park Loft in May because I just haven't felt I had the words to adequately express how perfect this venue and their entire team was. Our wedding day exceeded even our own expectations and was absolutely flawless. I expected a little hiccup somewhere along the way, but there were none. The entire team we worked with were true professionals and had the whole process down to a tee. Our director, Allie, was beyond organized and accommodating, helping us throughout the entire planning process. Chef Thomas is incredible and so invested in ensuring all the food was delicious. Everyone who attended went out of their way to tell us it was the best food they have ever had at a wedding. If you are considering booking with Park Loft, all I can say is DO IT!! You will not regret it and you and all your guests will be blown away by the all around perfection of Park Loft.

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.

We got married at Neshanic Valley Golf Course in October 2025. It was the most gorgeous day and Julia helped everything come together perfectly, leading up to and including the day of. From the outdoor ceremony, to the patio cocktail hour and incredible reception (and after party!) everything was perfect. We were able to bring in the vendors of our choice and everyone worked so well together - with Julia being able to provide her best guidance. She worked well with our wedding planner and helped us make great decisions knowing her experience with the flow of how the day goes and considerations from the venue perspective! We had 137 people, brought in a stage and the reception space was the perfect size. After seeing the stage, I was slightly nervous but made the floor feel full and the goal was dancing all night long. We also had so many compliments on the food - especially at cocktail hour - and never ran into any issues with a drink line forming. The band sounded incredible in the space and everything was truly perfect. I highly recommend having your wedding at Neshanic!!

We had our wedding reception at Cardinal and could not have anticipated truely how amazing it was. Their staff was incredibly accommodating. The food by chef Michael Brennan was outstanding. The drinks were delicious and the décor fit our theme perfectly. I had a vision and they truly brought it to life working with me, as the bride every step of the way. We wanted to have an after party to be able to celebrate with more friends and they hands down made it the best, allowing us to take over the entire venue. Cardinal is absolutely beautiful for all kinds of weddings and events but it was breathtaking for ours as we wanted it to be a quintessential Atlantic City wedding. They even let us use their authentic vintage rolling chair for our entrance. I was told on multiple accounts, it was everyone's favorite wedding they ever attended and we would not have been able to do it without Cardinal and the amazing and talented staff there. Thank you, The Burnsides

Liberty Hall Museum helped to make my Mid-September wedding an absolute dream. We had our ceremony in front of the lush apple orchard, our cocktail hour around the rose garden that was still blooming and our reception under the tent. We utilized the Carriage House during cocktail hour and for dessert. Liberty Hall staff, as always, was warm, helpful, accommodating and so, so patient. There was never an issue and they were quick to fix anything before it was noticed. Our photographer was so excited about all the different opportunities for unique and beautiful photos throughout the grounds, over the course of the evening. I have a hard time finding the words that truly express what an amazing location Liberty Hall is. Almost 5 years later my husband and I are still receiving compliments about our wedding day.
