Our event designer Dorothy was absolutely great! She was very communicative, always helpful, and reliable. The American Swedish Historical Museum provided a gorgeous, stunning, breath-taking, fun, and grand venue for our wedding.

I wanted to throw a party for my work friends with only a few weeks notice. I wanted a low-key weekend event, where people could bring dogs and kids and still have a nice time. Like a backyard barbecue without the hassle of cooking and cleaning (for someone who doesn’t have a yard!) Cira Green was able to accommodate us with very little fuss. A couple emails back-and-forth and I had exactly what I wanted, they have lots of different food and drink options and I was able to pick what we needed. Good food, nice drinks, a beautiful view and the tent insured everyone would be comfortable rain or shine.

The venue is absolutely stunning, with a ton of amazing spots to take stunning photos!

Curtis Arboretum was a breathtaking venue and the perfect backdrop for our wedding day. From the moment we arrived to the final dance, everything looked and felt magical. Our guests raved about the food, the grounds, and the overall experience. However, we did experience several disappointments that left us, as the bride and groom, feeling a bit forgotten. We missed out on key elements we were especially excited about, including the Seoul Kitchen station during cocktail hour and gelato chipwiches. While our guests enjoyed them, we never got to try either. The chipwiches were advertised as butlered to the dance floor, but never came out. After trying to get information from the coordinators, a bridal party member ended up making a tray himself and bringing it to us. We also didn’t receive several passed appetizers, the harvest table, or any table wine service during dinner. VIP drink service was inconsistent as us and our parents rarely received drinks from the staff. Dessert was served without notifying the emcee, so many guests (including us) missed it entirely. We only had the ceremonial bite of our wedding cake and didn’t get to enjoy any of the dessert stations. Sadly, the top layer of our cake, meant to be saved for our anniversary, was placed in a car staying overnight and ended up having to be thrown away. That tradition is now lost to us. We’ve shared our honest feedback with the venue and were met with a polite “thank you, we’ll share this with the staff,” along with a pitch to book another event. While these issues didn’t ruin our day in the slightest, they did impact our experience as the couple. Future couples: advocate for yourselves and confirm all promised services in writing to ensure you get what you’re paying for!! Curtis Arboretum is a beautiful venue, and we’re grateful for the memories, but we hope future weddings receive more attentive service for the couple at the center of it all.

From the first time we toured La Luna, Mark, Karen, and their staff were incredibly kind, helpful, and personable. They were patient and sweet with our parents, grandparents, and other family members, and asked thoughtful questions to make sure we were all on the same page about the vision for our wedding. They were able to accommodate our bicultural family with a bilingual DJ and menu items that were not listed on their menu, and everything at our reception was laid out with care and attention to detail. Our wedding party also stayed at the manor house for our entire wedding weekend, which was so much fun and so perfect!! We would absolutely recommend La Luna to anyone looking for an amazing place to host their special event, that is also reasonably priced and includes so much in their packages. Mark and Karen, we are also honored to share our wedding anniversary with you- thank you for working our wedding on your anniversary! :)

We are getting married at the Bishop Farmstead in Southampton NJ with Jeffrey Miller Catering this Saturday!!!!! We chose this venue for the historic barn, presentation partnership, and catering through JAM Catering. The main event space is a big beautiful red barn with an outdoor area and lower level for cocktail hour. The stairs in the main barn were a key feature to our choosing this venue for our wedding as they provide a great background for pictures and a grand entrance to the reception space. They lead to a second floor which is the main barn area for dinner. The venue also houses a historic farmhouse built in the 1750s by a second-generation Quaker farmer and is now home to a nature preserve. Included in our package is a custom menu from JAM, access to private wedding party suites for getting ready, a team of wedding professionals to help with the details, and beautiful outdoor spaces for pictures and video of our wedding. We had a private tasting with JAM in Philadelphia where we got to try a sampling of hors d'oeuvres, salad, dinner, and desserts with as private chef. The food was absolutely incredible!!!!! Everything was fresh, farm-to-table, unique, and beautifully presented. It was a great date night and we were totally stuffed at the end! Really looking forward to our big day this weekend!

My fiancé and I were looking for a rustic wedding venue, not a ballroom, preferably a venue with space to be outside (weather permitting). We visited a few options in the Philly area and fell in love with the John James Audubon Center! The space offers SO many options for an outdoor or indoor ceremony. They host receptions in the pavilion which is open with huge windows and firepits outside! The site is beautiful, and everyone we’ve worked with has been immensely helpful! After officially booking for our October 2024 wedding, we planned to visit with our parents. What was originally intended to be a quick stroll around the grounds turned into an impromptu tour with the venue manage. She answered all of our parents' questions and even brought out photo books of previous weddings for us to flip through together. With the wedding right around the corner now, we could not be more thrilled with our decision and can't wait to be there next month to celebrate our big day!

We had the most incredible experience hosting our wedding at the Carriage house! It has been taken over by Prime Hospitality catering who did an amazing job from start to finish! Our guests raved over the food, waitstaff, and bartenders! Katie and her team took care of every single aspect of our wedding which allowed my husband and I, our families, and our bridal party to be stress free and enjoy the day! I could go on and on about how amazing our wedding day was! Not a single thing went wrong, Katie and her team decorated the venue beautifully, the service was fantastic, and our guests continue to reach out about how beautiful the wedding venue was. It was better than I could’ve ever expected! I hope that the Carriage House starts to see an increase in weddings at their venue because they are truly amazing at their job! Katie coordinated and helped me with planning the wedding out from day 1. She worked relentlessly behind the scenes to ensure we had a great day. The food was the best wedding meal I have ever had and I’m not just saying that because I had my wedding here. The restaurant associated with the caterers “Brandywine Prime” makes amazing food. I will admit when initially wedding planning I was unsure of the carriage house due to the lack of online presence and photos of recent weddings. It is truly a hidden gem and definitely worth considering for your wedding day!!

Multiple guests shared that this was the best food they had had at a wedding. - We agree If I had to give advice to couples in the beginning stages of wedding planning I would share the following: 1. When choosing a wedding venue, many people focus on the location and overlook the food. But food matters — it’s what your guests will remember. And Terrain delivers. The food is incredible and absolutely worth prioritizing. 2. I spent too much time worrying about the little details. I’d tell any future couple: trust Terrain, trust the venue — it’s beautiful. Don’t stress over the small things you feel you need to control; Terrain has it covered. 3. If the only availability at Terrain is a Friday — book it! A Friday wedding means you get to celebrate your wedding all weekend long. (our guests loved having two days to relax and recover after the wedding) 4. Terrain is perfect — the atmosphere is magical. It truly becomes even more special when all your closest friends and family are there, filling the space. Overall everything was amazing — Madison, our event coordinator was absolutely incredible, I could not have asked for a better coordinator, the food was outstanding, and the venue was perfect. I couldn’t have imagined a better place or team to help us celebrate our special day. I hate that it’s over!

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