Featuring a working mill, blacksmith shop, active church, and several beautiful historic houses, Waterloo Village is a time capsule surrounded by an air of tranquil beauty. With its rich history, Waterloo Village is the perfect setting for weddings. Boasting two spectacular indoor event spaces—the newly-renovated meeting house and the rustic pavilion—in addition to its spacious outdoor compound, Waterloo has the resources and ambiance to make your special occasion a memorable success. 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. Waterloo is open to the public as part of Allamuchy Mountain State Park and home to many events and educational programs to teach and inform visitors about the past.

I cannot recommend Terrain enough as a wedding venue. We had such a fantastic, time. I do not have words to explain how amazing everything was. Every guest came up and told us it was one of the most gorgeous and classy weddings they had every been to. Everyone RAVED about the food. We had a friend say “this is the first wedding I became food drunk before actual drunk.” (Positive!!) The coordinators anticipated our every need and had them taken care of before we could even say anything. They were exceptional!

From the moment we first reached out to SkyView Golf Club, their communication was responsive, informative, and super friendly and professional. Jenn was absolutely incredible to work with and I am so happy that she was there with us every step of the way! The venue itself is absolutely gorgeous, with stunning views that provided the perfect backdrop for our wedding day. On the wedding day, our bridal suite attendant (Riley) and cabin attendant (Axel) were more than amazing and made our entire experience that much more perfect! Despite the rain that required us to move the ceremony indoors, the SkyView team executed the change flawlessly and made the space look absolutely stunning. Our guests raved about the amazing food and the attentive staff that went above and beyond to ensure our wedding day was more than perfect. We had family calling us days after the wedding saying they wished they could be back at our cocktail hour all over again - it was that good!! We couldn't have asked for a better venue and would HIGHLY recommend SkyView Golf Club to any couple looking for an amazing, worry-free wedding experience.

We had our wedding at The One & Only Westmount Country Club in early November 2025. It was a perfect venue! The staff were amazing, and the site was impeccable. From the moment we toured the Westmount it was pretty clear it would be perfect for us. We wanted to do the wedding on-site in the garden off the Continental Ballroom. Karen worked with us to make everything perfect and coordinated every detail according to our vision for the day. Since the wedding, we have heard nothing but praise and compliments from our guests. Multiple people have told us they have never had such good food at a wedding, and the dessert extravaganza (only word to describe it) was second to none. From the welcome drinks and snacks, to the cocktail hour, to dinner service and dessert, our guests cannot stop raving about the food and service. The outdoor venue with twinkle lights in the trees, up lighting, a fountain next to the gazebo, and the picturesque garden gate was the entire aesthetic we wanted. We highly recommend The One & Only Westmount Country Club. The staff, the venue, the food, and the suggested vendors all made for a dream wedding and magical night.

From the moment we saw the back rooms at Arte Cafe, we knew it would be the perfect venue for our wedding. The staff were incredibly open to our wishes and flexible in working with us to make our vision a reality. The skylight and garden rooms looked absolutely beautiful, with the natural light and greenery creating a magical, airy atmosphere, and hanging lights and chandeliers brought elegance once the sun set. The cocktails, passed appetizers, and dinner buffet were all delicious, and the staff - from the servers and bartenders to the manager - were extremely attentive and prompt. Alexis, the venue coordinator, was very helpful in managing communications with the restaurant and coordinating the kitchen. She could be a bit hard to get in touch with at times and was not at the venue the day-of the wedding, but the management staff took over and the event got set up the way we wanted (although this took some prompting / follow up from us) and flowed seamlessly. We ended up with exactly the wedding we had hoped for. We highly recommend Arte Cafe for any couple looking for a stunning, flexible venue that will truly make your special day feel like a dream come true. You might have to put a bit more of your own time into making sure you get what you asked for, but if you are willing to put in some of the extra effort it is well worth it.

We worked with both Chelsee and Nikki and they were both professional and gracious. Their communication style was direct, prompt and transparent. Nikki even found us cocktail napkins at the last minute, helping the bar service. The venue itself, both the 21st floor and 14th floor, was stunning, upscale and practical. At first, I thought that elevator traffic might be an issue, but it was seamless throughout the night. The balcony was the perfect golden-hour-to-sunset photo background and proved to be a nice respite from the dance floor throughout the night. We couldn't have asked for a better wedding venue.

I had two great experiences with The Pier Sixty Collection. Both my wedding at Current and my work’s holiday party at Pier Sixty. The events were both unforgettable, and the staff was truly outstanding. I had the pleasure of working with Marlon, who was our wedding coordinator and worked our holiday party and I can’t speak highly enough of him. He goes above and beyond to ensure everything runs smoothly. Marlon does an incredible job of making sure guests are happy and the event flows seamlessly—he’s truly one of the best. Secondarily, the food is amazing. Friends and family still talk about the food that was served at our wedding months later! All in all, this is an amazing collection of venues with great staff and I hope to happily attend/host many more events here.
