Terrain Gardens at DelVal was the perfect choice for our wedding venue. From the moment we started planning, their communication was clear, precise, and responsive, making the entire process a breeze. The venue itself is truly breathtaking - the unique outdoor setting with the beautiful gardens created such a special and memorable experience for us and our guests. Terrain even accommodated our request for an outdoor standing ceremony, which was so important to us. The food was a huge hit, with our guests raving about the delicious menu and exceptional service. The staff went above and beyond, setting up all of our decor so we didn't have to worry about a thing. We couldn't imagine getting married anywhere else and are so grateful to Terrain for helping make our special day perfect.

We absolutely loved everything about our experience at Skyview. From the moment we toured the venue, our breath was taken away with the majestic scenic views of the Appalachia. Our decision was further cemented when we learned everything that was included in their wedding package, an incredible value that beat all of the other venues we visited by a significant margin. We don't want to ruin it for anyone, but honestly they could double their rates and it'd still be worth it. The support from the staff at Skyview (specifically Jenn, Hildegaard, and Ivan) both during the planning process and on the day of our wedding was prompt, thoughtful, and comprehensive. We have never gotten married before but we can't imagine working with a more professional staff that made our planning unbelievably seamless and stress-free. Our guests echoed our sentiment with rave feedback about the picturesque scenery, the epic food, the beautiful cocktail hour space, and the stunning and classy reception room. Skyview is a hidden gem that I hope gets all the recognition they deserve!

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!

We had our wedding at the Park Chateau, and from start to finish, the experience was flawless. There’s a reason the Park Chateau is considered the best wedding venue in the state — it’s simply unmatched! The venue is the epitome of luxury, with both the outdoor and indoor spaces being breathtakingly beautiful. The grounds are impeccably maintained, from the vibrant flowers to the tranquil water features. It truly felt like stepping into a fairytale. Guests were absolutely blown away by the setting alone. Every detail, from the architecture to the gardens, was picture-perfect, creating an atmosphere that felt elegant, timeless, and incredibly special. The food was also exceptional! The cocktail hour alone was a standout — our guests couldn’t stop raving about the variety, presentation, and flavor of every dish. Many were genuinely surprised when dinner was served afterward, assuming the cocktail hour had been the main meal because it was that impressive. Both the quantity and quality of the food exceeded all expectations. We received so many compliments from guests about how it was the best wedding food they’d ever had. Most standout, however, was their service. The Park Chateau has an entire team of dedicated professionals who made sure every single detail was executed seamlessly. From bridal attendants literally on their knees scrubbing dirt off my dress, to staff ensuring we always had a drink or a bite to eat, we felt completely cared for the entire day. They checked in on us constantly but never intrusively, even bringing water around while we danced to keep us hydrated and energized. Our families were treated with such respect and warmth, and their kindness and attentiveness were noticed by everyone. The team brought our vision to life with minimal effort on our part, allowing us to be fully present and soak in every moment. The Park Chateau is a premium venue, but it is worth every single penny. It gave us the wedding of our dreams!!

Rachael and her team were absolutely amazing for our wedding whenever I had a question about the venue I knew I would get a very quick response from Rachael days leading up to the wedding. We kept our eye out on the forecast, hoping to have the ceremony outside in the garden however, with the rain we had to have it inside, but it was still absolutely perfect, they were able to get it, so that way you didn’t see everything underneath the tent during the ceremony and most of the time you didn’t even know they were there.

If you’re looking for a stress free wedding, look no further. I can rave about our wedding forever, our event planner Alessandra Moss helped us every step of the way. Our guests enjoyed the heavenly cocktail hour and were impressed with the professionalism of the staff. Day of coordinator Jennifer was attentive and took care of all my bridal needs. We highly recommend booking Nicotras Ballroom at the Hilton Garden Inn for your wedding venue, we had a lot of guests traveling and it was easy for our guests to stay in the hotel. We shared our first look on the beautiful property, there are endless options for photo ops. We were able to take many photos and video inside and outside the venue. The ceremony took place outside on the Gazebo, it was absolutely stunning, the weather was perfect. Alessandra met with us regularly in person and was easily accessible via email. She walked us through the wedding planning and guided us on the next steps of the process. It was a great relief that the venue took care of a lot of the details, and we used one of their vendors Red Carpet Events for decor/flowers and they were fantastic.

My husband and I were thrilled with the Princeton Marriott At Forrestal for our wedding venue. Overall, their communication was great - there were a few delays early on, but as we got within 2-3 weeks of the wedding, they were on top of everything and made sure we had all the information we needed. The venue itself is absolutely beautiful, and they gave us the flexibility to make the space our own. The wedding coordinator and event manager went above and beyond to ensure our special day was perfect - I didn't have to worry about a single thing on the day of the wedding, as they took care of every last detail. We are so grateful for their exceptional service and highly recommend the Princeton Marriott At Forrestal to any couple looking for a stunning, stress-free wedding venue.

Megan, the director, is an absolutely dream to work with. quick responses, explains everything clearly, a sweetheart. Hotel is super clean, the food is amazing and the staff were lovely. The Maitre De went missing a lot throughout the day, to the point where my uncle had to find her whenever i needed. They set up & cleaned everything up for us which was lovely. the hotel bar stayed open late (sunday wedding) but you couldn’t make it private. so you had people at the bar trying to add to an open tab. you get a room block, the director of rooms Rebecca is very easy to work with as well. the outdoor ceremony space is gorgeous!!!

There were quite a bit of rules and miscommunications along the way. This made the experience, especially during the end of the engagement season and the actual wedding day a bit dramatic and exhausting. However, this could be avoided if every single detail is ironed out from the very beginning and you are giving consistent reminders of what you're anticipating your day to be like. Overall, the venue is gorgeous and every single area of it is grounds for awesome photo-ops. On a gorgeous day, you will absolutely not regret choosing this location. Not only is it super affordable, but they also give you the freedom to pick your other vendors to create your ideal wedding (as almost everything else is kind of "a la carte"). A bonus is that you get the whole grounds on your wedding day, so that's exciting for you and your guests!

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 Olde Mill 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.

I had my wedding on 9/26/25 and the venue looked so beautiful! Even better than when I toured it back in November. Carmela and Mona were so helpful and accommodating during the planning process. There were so many last minute changes and hiccups like transportation vendors falling through, but Carmela was able to help me book last minute transportation that was even bigger than I was expecting! Everything went so much better than I imagined and all the guests were so impressed with the venue and food! Evette (I hope I’m spelling her name right) was my bridal attendant the day of. She was fantastic, made sure I was no longer on my phone, helped with transportation throughout the venue and kept me calm during the ceremony. I can’t thank them enough for making this day so special!

Thank you Allison (sales/catering director), Jordanna (sales/catering coordinator), Nemo the maitre d, Andrew the front desk at the hotel, and Stephanie of the banquet staff. This wedding was a team effort! I want to thank all of these people for working so hard to make our dream wedding become a reality. Allison was amazing, she responded to all of our emails, our millions of questions, even sometimes in the middle of the night. She even informed us of a promotion to help us save and obtain a complimentary Sundae Scoop station. The food @ Sterling Ballroom was fantastic. We had an elaborate cocktail hour which our guests are still talking about. One of our guests said she “ate her weight” in spanakopita, and multiple guests were commented on both the quantity and quality of the food. Our entrees were delicious(NY strip steak and ginger Salmon), and our guests seemed to enjoy their entrees (above options plus boursin cheese roasted chicken breast). The Sundae Scoop featured an ice cream bar complete with all the sundae toppings and Belgian waffles!! The cake provided through the venue from Chocolate Carousel, was moist and delicious in addition to being stunningly beautiful. We also chose to splurge on the perk-up station which came with coffee, espresso, fun dipping options, and featured a variety of liquors to pair! We only considered venues attached to a hotel. Sterling Ballroom is located at the DoubleTree by Hilton Tinton Falls/Eatontown, NJ. We wanted to make sure that our guests had an option to book at the venue so that they could retire to their room whenever they felt the need. In our immediate party we utilized standard rooms, junior suites, the bridal suite (only during day time of the wedding day) and the presidential suite. All of the rooms were newly renovated and attractive. Not only did they look good, but the rooms were well adorned with ample power supplies including usb charging ports. The Presidential suite was a huge selling point. This was an elaborate suite and could sleep up to 6 guests in the room and even had a fireplace! The night before the wedding, my bride-tribe had a sleepover in this suite to make sure we were ready bright and early for our early morning makeovers! At 6:30am, the bridal suite/lounge was ready for us to do our hair and make-up and looked absolutely spectacular. I am a major fan of elaborate chandeliers and the bridal lounge had one! The bridal lounge had 4 salon chairs, several refrigerators for storing food, and also a wine refrigerator. The venue even provided us with a complimentary bottle of champagne! One of our girls organized a brunch in the suite, catered by Joe’s Bagels, and there was plenty of space for the whole spread in addition to all of our gear getting ready for the big day! While my ladies were getting ready in the bridal lounge, the groom's squad were getting ready in the Presidential Suite! This was huge because I wanted to make sure that the men had a place to get ready and take good pictures lol! I am a sucker for pretty chandeliers and the Sterling Ballroom had gorgeous chandeliers not only in the main ballroom, but also the event foyer and the cocktail space! The entire team did a wonderful job decorating the entrance area and ballroom. I would recommend this place not just for the beautiful esthetics, but also for the fantastic team that was an honor to work with on our special day!
