We could not be more happy with how our wedding turned out at Mamaroneck Beach and Yacht Club. There are so many things that make this venue special. The service, the scenery, the food, and the run of show were all spectacular. The service. We received attentive and detailed service throughout the entire planning process. The director of events, Bob, answered all of our emails promptly and with detail. He is a wonderful man who goes above and beyond to make sure that we were thoroughly satisfied and feeling well taken care of. Bob was so fantastic at helping us come up with solutions to challenges that emerged at different stages of the planning process, and we couldn’t have pulled off the party we wanted without his patience, thoughtfulness, and support. On the day of, we were made to feel so special by all the staff at MBYC. We were given a personal “bridal attendant” who followed us around all day and attended to any needs we had that came up- like holding my bouquet during photos, getting us fresh drinks, grabbing some items from the bridal suite. All of our guests were telling us how impressed they were by the level of service and consideration they received from all the staff. Everyone was kind, professional, and in great spirits. The scenery. The venue space at MB&YC is truly RIGHT on the water! It is so incredibly gorgeous. The cocktail hour is on a beautiful deck over the water. The reception is in a ballroom with giant windows facing the water. The space does not need much more decoration to feel special. It is elegant and special, yet practical, home-y, and not at all stuffy. The food. We were so impressed by the food. Typically wedding food is basic and mass produced, but every dish at MB&YC felt special. We had so many friends after the wedding recounting their favorite bites throughout the night. The mac and cheese bites as well as the New York Strip Steak were definitely crowd pleasers. Not only was the food plentiful, but it was all also incredibly tasty. Bob and his staff also made sure to take care of our guests with dietary restrictions. Everyone ate well at our wedding. The run of show. Bob and his team were working very hard the evening of our wedding to ensure the schedule was kept and everything went as planned. Leading up to the event, Bob heard all of our concerns and desires, and he was able to execute a fabulous event the evening of our wedding. I was never once concerned that something was missing or forgotten, I trusted Bob and I knew he was going to make sure we had a perfect night. Overall, definitely book your wedding here at MB&YC! We can’t speak highly enough about our special day here!

You read many times that the SCM staff is absolutely incredible, and there is nothing more true! Ian is one of the kindest, caring, most thoughtful and passionate individuals I’ve ever met. From our finals meeting, we clicked and he has done absolutely anything he can to be sure we would have a special day. From setting up decor, to the ceremony running exactly on time, to encouraging guests to play our games and sign our guest book…. he does it all. Let me tell you from someone who was constantly on the fence about getting a DOC - you won’t need one with Ian. At least from the second you arrive at Sea Cliff. He wants to work with you to be sure it is a special day for you!! Camille was fabulous, bustling me all night, keeping us fed, reminding us to “mangia” Every server and bartender we came across was super personable and friendly. It was truly the happiest day of our lives!! They are the whole package. Responsive, caring and the kindest most genuine people and is so refreshing after touring so many other LI Venues that do not show the same level of care. You will not regret booking with Sea Cliff!!

From the day we stepped in to tour and spoke with Lisa and John, we felt like family. We felt like they couldn’t wait to help us celebrate our special day. From planning, to communication, they were the best. Nothing ever felt stressful, and I believe that’s all because of how well organized they are. The team here does everything in their power to make sure your day is everything you have ever wanted. Fast forward to wedding day- with James as our maitre d/bridal attendant/what felt like our very own personal assistant for the day; our day was seamless from top to bottom. And the food? All of our guests have not stopped commenting how great it all was. It was the most memorable, best day ever. And we believe it all started at the hands of the team and the beauty of the environment at Stewart Manor Country Club! Thanks John, Lisa, James and the entire staff!

Surrounded by organic beauty set on a private lake, this hidden gem creates the perfect setting for those fun, romantic and outdoor vibes you're looking for on your special day.​

Rock Island was the best decision we could have ever made. Our experience was 110% perfect from start to finish. From our first tour with Stephanie, we were hooked and immediately knew 'this was the place'. In the 18 months leading up to our wedding, we never felt overwhelmed or alone in the planning process. Our coordinator Elaine, was and IS the best of the best. Every email, check-in meeting and question was always greeted with excitement, warmth and reassurance. Elaine made sure everything was perfect not only throughout the planning process, but especially on the day of our wedding. The day itself truly was flawless. Elaine, Abby, Robby, Jill and the countless other Rock Island Staff we worked with day of ensured that not one thing was out of place. We, alongside all our guests, felt so much love and attention from the staff that they felt like family by the end of the night. We cannot thank you all enough for the work you do and how meant for your roles each of you are. The venue itself is stunning, with an updated and picturesque lakeside setting that felt so inclusive and special. We could not have asked for a more beautiful backdrop for our wedding. We came into wedding planning wanting an 'indoor/ outdoor' vibe and Rock Island delivered that in every way. The food was also some of the best wedding food we have seen/ tried (our guests would agree!) which is a true testament to the kitchen staff! Additionally, our bar staff did a phenomenal job with our signature cocktails and espresso martini bar. We hope to experience RILC as a guest some day! It's been almost a month and my husband and I talk about our wedding every day. Every family member and friend we talk to tell us it was one of the most incredible weddings they have ever been to. If we could relive the day over, there's not one thing we would change. Thank you Rock Island Lake Club for EVERYTHING. Would recommend to anyone looking for a NJ wedding venue.

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.

We had our wedding roomblock at the Bridgewater Marriott and were thrilled with our experience. Their communication was consistently responsive and flexible as we made changes to details in the weeks leading up to the big day. The venue itself is big, new and very comfortable - perfect for accommodating our large guest list. The event staff helped coordinate shuttle changes seamlessly and allowed us to provide our own welcome gifts, which was greatly appreciated. They made themselves available for questions 24/7 and surprised us with a bottle of champagne in our room - such a thoughtful touch! From start to finish, they contributed to making our wedding day special with their attention to detail. We'd highly recommend the Bridgewater Marriott for a roomblock for any couple's big day!

We started the wedding planning process by starting to look at venues. Falkirk was the first venue we had toured and immediately fell in love with it. From seeing the golf course, the waterfall, the gazebo, and incredible views, it was breathtaking and we imagined ourselves getting married there immediately. We met with Andrea during our tour, and had the pleasure of getting to work with her throughout our planning process, and was absolutely incredible on the day of our wedding! She made herself available to answer our (many) questions, going over timelines, and ensuring that our vision and dreams for the day came true. They had it all, from phenomenal staff to incredible food, not to mention the stunning views. We could not have asked for better! They truly make you feel like a VIP throughout the entire wedding weekend. Andrea was an absolute gem to work with, and made sure everything we dreamed of came true. And when we got the opportunity to have fireworks during our reception?! To this day, we have friends and family still talking about the firework show. Andrea worked seamlessly with other vendors and the firework staff to make sure it was a surprise show that no one would forget. Our wedding day was a dream, and we are so glad we had it at the Falkirk Estate and Country Club. We are so incredibly happy we got the pleasure to work with them, and would recommend any couples that are starting the wedding planning process, to reach out to them.

We had the most amazing wedding at The Mansion at Oyster Bay in October 2024! We had our full wedding (ceremony, cocktail hour, reception, afterparty) all at the mansion and the day was flawless and our guests can't say enough about how amazing everything was! The food, drinks and atmosphere were all amazing and the staff was so kind, attentive and warm, not only to just us as the couple, but to all of our guests. The team at the mansion was very communicative throughout the entire wedding planning process, and on the day of they knew exactly how we wanted the day to run and they pulled it off without any hiccups or problems! Our wedding was outside and it was a gorgeous day, but I also would have been happy if we needed to do the ceremony inside because the decor is so stunning. All of my pictures look amazing because the mansion is such a stunning backdrop. I highly recommend you have your wedding here!!

My husband, Ryan, and I had our wedding at Windows on the Water this June, and it was truly magical, everything we had ever dreamed of, and more. We’ve always loved the water, so we toured several venues with waterfront views. The moment we walked into Windows on the Water, it was breathtaking! We knew instantly this was where we wanted to say “I do.” When we booked WoW, Ryan’s health was uncertain. He had been diagnosed with cancer just months earlier. We held onto the hope of creating the dream wedding we envisioned, even though at times it felt like an unattainable goal. Thankfully, Ryan responded quickly to treatment, his health improved dramatically, and we continued planning. From the very start, Mike H. was nothing short of amazing. We shared our story, and his support and genuine care went far beyond a business transaction. He understood our journey, and his check-ins throughout the months leading up to the wedding made us feel special and hopeful that our dream would become a reality. Prior to the big day, Cheryl was a lifesaver, patiently answering all my questions and guiding us through the details . On our wedding day, she managed everything with such professionalism and care that all we had to do was enjoy the moment. It was a heatwave that day, but the staff went above and beyond, attending to our every need and even making sure we stayed hydrated! Every detail was perfect from how they arranged our decor to planning everything. We’ve heard countless compliments from our guests, about the delicious food, the stunning views, and how it was the best wedding they had ever attended. Even months later, people are still raving about it! We feel incredibly grateful, not only that Ryan’s health improved, but that we were able to live our dream day surrounded by our friends and family. Our wedding will forever be the most wonderful and meaningful day of our lives, and we owe so much of that to Mike, Cheryl, and the entire WoW team. If you want to get married somewhere with a gorgeous view, with incredible food and the most attentive staff then run, don’t walk, to Windows on the Water!

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

Modern couples gravitate toward industrial spaces such as The Art Factory in Paterson where contemporary design meets character and uniqueness.
