Bridgewater Manor was an incredible venue for our wedding. Alyssa was amazing - she was very prompt in returning our emails and phone calls, and was incredibly helpful in answering all of our questions throughout the planning process. On the day of our wedding, Alyssa was extremely attentive and made sure I was ready for the ceremony, even helping to put my husband's boutonniere on correctly. I was very nervous right before walking down the aisle, but Alyssa was there to calm my nerves. Adele was also fantastic all night long - he made sure we had food and drinks during cocktail hour and was available to assist us with anything we needed. I never had to hesitate to ask Adele for help. The entire Bridgewater Manor team contributed to making our wedding day so special and stress-free. We are so grateful for their incredible service and attention to detail.

Portobello Banquet Hall stands out as one of Oakland's signature venues with its classic architecture that doesn't sacrifice modern amenities. The stunning Ramapo Valley backdrop creates amazing photo opportunities no matter when you're getting married, though fall is particularly magical here. October weddings are actually the most requested in Oakland due to that gorgeous fall foliage; so plan accordingly if you're dreaming of those rich autumn colors.

What Are the Average Wedding Costs in Oakland, NJ?

How Do Oakland Venues Support Remote Guest Participation?
