After my first visit with my wife to escape the daily grind and surprise her with a romantic weekend, we returned with the kids a second time and had a ball. This is heaven on Earth for us, and not so far away from NYC. The grounds are magical and the compound has everything we needed, including wood for the raging fire we made. Thanks to the owners for treating us special.

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.

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. When you choose Waterloo Village as the setting for your event, a portion of proceeds will go towards the preservation and restoration of the site.

Waterloo Village is a truly magical venue, and we couldn’t be happier with our experience there. We first visited for a wedding and were immediately captivated by the rustic charm and historic atmosphere. After seeing how seamlessly everything ran that day, we knew it was the perfect place for our own wedding. The staff at Waterloo Village is outstanding—extremely friendly, helpful, and refreshingly low-pressure. They genuinely focus on making your day special without pushing you to spend beyond your budget. Their professionalism and warmth made the planning process enjoyable and stress-free. One of the highlights is their catering partner, JAM. Their commitment to farm-to-table dining is evident in every dish. Many of the ingredients are sourced fresh, some even from their urban garden, which adds a special touch. The food is not only fresh but absolutely delicious. If you’re looking for a beautiful venue with incredible staff and top-notch food, Waterloo Village is a fantastic choice!

Jake and I can't believe how seamless everything was, and there was not one thing that disrupted our special day! From the vendors, to the cake, and the dinner, everything was amazing! Even the weather decided to cooperate as the day progressed! Our friends and family had such a wonderful time and have complimented the event, as the most fun wedding ever! Thank you again and again!

Magnolia was a dream for me and my husband!! I was very discouraged by the venue search and had almost given up when I stumbled across Magnolia. It looked so gorgeous I was afraid the pictures were misleading me. But while the outside doesn’t look like much when you drive up, inside it’s a fairytale world. We were in love from the moment we saw it, and all my guests were stunned. The space felt rustic and secluded—like you’re out in the woods somewhere with the sound of the river all around you. And Magnolia has built up the property with an elegance that makes it even more dreamlike. And I can’t say enough about the venue coordinator, Cheyenne! She literally worked miracles to make it possible for us to have our wedding there. This woman is sharp and incredibly knowledgeable and organized. Her recommendations and tips saved me so much. She’s super honest and upfront about things, and she does her best to take the stress and pressure of the wedding off of you. She also is very caring. Throughout the entire process, she was attentive, and I felt like she cared about me as a person, not just another client. On the day-of, she created space for my husband and I in the bustle and went out of her way to help with whatever we, or the wedding party, needed. It never felt like having a stranger around, and I knew I could trust her to handle any mishap. I highly, highly recommend her wedding planning services even if you don’t end up using the venue itself. Some tips: I personally think Magnolia works better for smaller, more intimate weddings. We had about 60 people, which filled the space nicely, but I have trouble imagining how the max amount of people (120) would fit on the dance floor. I wouldn’t recommend having a lot of vendors and tech either. I think it would clash with the space. We also really enjoyed renting out cabins for our wedding party. The rooms are nice, and it allowed us to soak in the weekend. Another great thing: the property is the perfect size for getting cool photos—small enough to walk but large enough to find lots of lovely locations. Definitely take advantage of that! I highly recommend Magnolia. I don’t know how our wedding could have been more beautiful or peaceful, and I thank all the staff at Magnolia for caring for us.

From start to finish, working with the team at Perona Farms for our wedding, was nothing short of a dream. Coordinating with Megan, Marley, Paula, Heather, and Tammi made our entire wedding weekend seamless and stress-free. They truly go above and beyond to ensure everything is taken care of, making you feel like family from the very beginning. We stayed in the DeBurgh House for the weekend, and from the rehearsal dinner up until we packed our bags and left at the end, everything was perfectly managed. The entire staff was incredibly friendly, helpful, and made us feel like we had known them forever. It was clear that the team at Perona Farms is dedicated to making every couple’s day as special as possible. The venue and grounds were impeccably maintained. Despite having three weddings that weekend, we never saw another bride, which made us feel like we had the place all to ourselves. It was truly our day. The food was absolutely outstanding, and guests are still talking about how delicious it was almost six months later. We held our reception in the Refinery, and it was absolutely gorgeous. The space is stunning, and our team and vendors had an easy time working with Perona Farms, as they were accommodating and made setup a breeze. Without a doubt, we cannot recommend Perona Farms enough. It’s a venue that will forever hold a special place in our hearts. Our wedding was made unforgettable by the amazing team, and we couldn’t have chosen a better venue.

Lake Mohawk Country Club was a fantastic venue for our wedding. Their communication style was very flexible - they were happy to chat with us over email or get on a call whenever we had questions. The space itself is absolutely stunning, and the entire team, especially Karen and Blake, were great to work with throughout the entire process. They went above and beyond, unpacking all of our wedding decor and setting it up perfectly. The food was also delicious! If I had to say one negative thing (just so you know this is real.) ... was the cost of the bridal suite and the den, which felt a bit high. Overall, we had an amazing experience at Lake Mohawk Country Club and would highly recommend them to any couples looking for a beautiful wedding venue.

The decorations were absolutely stunning — a perfect blend of rustic charm and elegant sophistication.

What stood out the most was the incredible attention to detail. From the hand-lettered signage to the carefully curated table settings and custom touches throughout the space, nothing was overlooked. Every corner of the barn felt like a work of art — warm, inviting, and completely personal. The setting was not only picture-perfect but also incredibly comfortable, with seamless transitions between the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception.

There aren't enough words to describe what a perfect day Anah and her team created for our wedding. It was more perfect than we ever could have conceived of ourselves. We booked during a transition period for Anah and her business, so sometimes there were some lapses in communication and some crossed wires, but when it came to the wedding weekend, everything was absolutely perfect. (Maybe I'm overusing that word, but it doesn't feel possible). Anah is so warm, funny, personable, and made us feel like we were the most important couple in the world on our wedding day - and also extremely safe and welcome as a queer couple. Every detail was thoughtful and lovely. We used what she grows for our flowers, and she put together a bouquet for me on the morning of the wedding that matched perfectly with accessories she hadn't even seen yet. It's possible she's a little bit psychic. Thank you, thank you, thank you Anah and team for our perfect day. I wish we could do it all over again!

The Farm Bakery & Events was a 10/10 wedding experience for us and our guests. From the moment we toured the venue in the late fall, when their flowers were no longer in bloom, we knew they could bring our summer wedding dreams to life. Their attention to detail in helping our dream come to life was incredible - the flowers around our archway, beautifully crafted by Becca, took our breath away on more than one occasion. Our coordinator, Sam, was the best we could have asked for, consistent and reliably putting us at ease throughout any moments of stress and always being there to support our needs. The ambiance of the venue was serene and memorable, and the food was absolutely incredible.

Working with Lisa at Ash Mill Farm was an excellent experience! I absolutely loved that Ash Mill met all our criteria in a wedding venue -- being able to stay on site all weekend, high class catering, a rustic boho vibe, etc. And it was a great price compared to other venues! Lisa was extremely professional, communicative, and helpful. On the big day, she made me feel so at ease knowing that she had everything covered and I could confidently just relax and enjoy the day. Also the rest of the wedding venue staff were amazing and super sweet. Ash Mill was everything we were looking for and more!

Our wedding at Folino Estate Winery was absolutely perfect. We had a beautiful celebration and I can't thank our wedding coordinator, Lauren, enough. I am a very type-A, detail oriented person and Lauren took care of everything always with a smile on her face. Anytime I emailed, she replied as soon as she could and answered my question right away. I didn't have to worry because I knew Lauren would take care of everything. Not only Lauren, but the rest of the staff was just as incredible, too- Everyone was kind, fast to help, and went above and beyond. Lauren also connected with my other vendors to make sure the day was seamless, and it was just that! I am so happy. The food was incredible! We had so many compliments on the food the whole evening. My husband and I didn't get to finish our meals but the staff packed it up right away and made sure it went home with us. I can't say enough good things about this venue and Lauren, my coordinator. Thank you Lauren for making our day so perfect!!!! We would (and will) recommend Folino Estate Winery to every body, and we will be back for dinner!! :) - Molly & Kory Kemmerer

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.

The Nassau Inn in Princeton, NJ was the perfect venue for our wedding day. From the moment we started working with Amanda, the venue coordinator, we knew we were in good hands. She was extremely communicative, on top of things, and helpful throughout the entire planning process. The venue itself is beautiful, with an old-fashioned, cozy, and warm atmosphere that made our wedding feel like a dream. The fact that it is located so close to Princeton University was a bonus, as we were able to take stunning photos on the campus grounds. The food packages are great and offer a ton of food options. Our gorgeous cake was included in the package. Amanda and the entire Nassau Inn team ensured our day ran smoothly, even when we had to quickly move our ceremony indoors due to bad weather.

Coming from NYC, we had our eyes set on an indoor-outdoor venue that could capture the beauty of the Catskills region. We spent many weekends visiting venues and when we stepped into Wildflower on Watts we immediately knew that it was the one. Their entire property is meticulously designed from their landscaping to the barn architecture. Start to finish the experience was as amazing as their property. Bethany, who runs Wildflower, is the sweetest and kindest person I’ve ever worked with, which is something that was shared with all of our vendors and anyone that spoke with her. She helped us throughout the process and was incredibly patient with all of the little things we asked her about. The day of the wedding was perfect and we utilized everything they offered. We had an amazing landscaped backdrop for our outdoor ceremony and cocktail hour then enjoyed the night with dinner and dancing in their barn. Everything was perfect and couldn’t recommend this venue more. Thank you!
