The Valley at Neshanic was the perfect venue for our wedding. From the beginning, the communication with Julia, the sales manager, was open and easy. She executed everything perfectly, and the venue looked exactly as we had hoped - perfectly quaint and not over the top. The price per plate was also very reasonable. The food was great, the staff was attentive, and the views of the countryside were beautiful. Overall, we couldn't have asked for a better experience at The Valley at Neshanic. We highly recommend this venue to any couple looking for a beautiful, stress-free wedding day.

If you’re thinking about booking The Atlantis Ballroom as your venue, DO IT!!!! I literally cannot recommend them enough. LONG story short, we were two days away from our wedding and got a call our venue could no longer accommodate us. Realizing we had no time to panic and had to figure something out, my (now) husband suggested that we check out the Atlantis Ballroom because he’s been to several events there and they had always been nice. Not only were they able to make an entire wedding happen in just TWO DAYS notice, but they went above and beyond! Everyone we dealt with was so friendly. The food was AMAZING. Our cake was so cute! Literally everything was better than perfection. They had a huge supply of decorations/colors/etc. that we were able to pick for them to use to decorate the ballroom and for the cocktail hour. They also used some of our own stuff at our request since I already worked so hard on it. They were able to accommodate every single person who had a dietary restriction (keto, GF, allergies). We got married 3 months ago and every time I see anyone that was at our wedding, they rave about how it was the best and most fun wedding they ever went to! We wouldn’t have been able to do it without Jen and everyone else at The Atlantis Ballroom. There’s no way you’ll be disappointed in your choice by going with The Atlantis Ballroom for any of your events! I know I’ll definitely host any of my events there and I recommend to everyone I know. Thank you again for making our wedding the most magical day

Lance, the banquet manager, was phenomenal! He worked tirelessly the day of my wedding, ensuring that everything was in place and ran smoothly. He was so kind in helping me envision and bring about the wedding reception of my dreams, and also kept me organized by helping me create a timeline for the day of my wedding. Curtis did a fantastic job handling guest room bookings! He stayed in communication with me until the day of my wedding, accommodating requests with ease. The bridal assistant was amazing!

When my husband and I were looking for wedding venues, we were very specify on what we wanted. We really wanted something outdoors for the ceremony and a beautiful reception hall that did not give off that "Ballroom" look. We hated chandeliers and let me tell you, it was difficult to find a venue in NJ without a chandelier. When we first toured Blue Heron Pines, we instantly fell in love. We immediately knew that this was the spot we wanted to get married in. It was exactly what we wanted but the only hesitation we had was that our family lived about an hour away from it. After going back an forth about it, we decided to book it and that was the best decision we have ever made. It turns out that the people that truly love you will make that trip for you because everyone on our guest list came to our wedding! All the employees at Blue Heron were extremely helpful and super nice. Sarah and Tara are amazing at keeping the bride calm throughout the whole process, from booking the venue, down to the day after the wedding. Our wedding day was perfect, thanks to Blue Heron Pines and their amazing staff. I HIGHLY recommend having your wedding at Blue Heron. They will definitely not disappoint!

My husband manages Kathedral, so I’ve spent a lot of time in the space over the years—but getting married there was something else entirely. We had a very specific vision for our wedding day, and even with my familiarity with the venue, I was blown away by how beautifully it all came together. Kathedral truly is the perfect canvas—it allowed us to bring our ideas to life in a way that felt personal, unique, and completely “us.” One of the biggest bonuses was having the boutique hotel attached to the building. It made everything so much easier and more enjoyable—our entire wedding party was able to stay together under one roof, which kept the day stress-free and gave us extra time to soak in every moment with the people we love most. We worked with an incredible group of vendors who truly became a dream team. They collaborated seamlessly, managed every detail, and transformed the venue into something magical. The entire day ran smoothly and effortlessly, and we were able to be fully present knowing we were in such good hands. Being part of so many weddings as the partner of someone in the industry gave me a different perspective—but experiencing our own wedding at Kathedral made me fall in love with the space in a whole new way. It was the best day of our lives, and I’m so grateful we got to spend it there.

Molly was great with communicating all the details and answering all our questions! Lisa walked us through everything from food to table settings to order of the night. The food was PHENOMENAL! Everyone raved and still raves about the variety of food, the quality, the cocktail hour and ending the night with Taste of the Boardwalk. If you go hungry, it’s your own fault! The service there was second to none. Joanne and her staff were wonderful and were always anticipating our thoughts. We stayed at Flanders during that weekend.

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!!!

The owner was accommodating of all my needs and responded quickly throughout our process leading up to the wedding. The ceremony and reception was decorated beautifully and exceptionally clean. I felt like a princess on my day, as the entire staff was eager to make sure my day was perfect, AND IT WAS! The DJ was booked through the venue as well and absolutely killed it. If you are looking for a wedding for your family and friends and you don’t want to break the bank doing so, this is your spot. We had the best day of our lives and wouldn’t have had it any other way. Truly grateful

Bloom Bar Event Space provided an exceptional experience for our wedding day. Their communication was effective and timely throughout the planning process, and the quality of their work was captivating and intimate. They went above and beyond, surprising us by upgrading our centerpieces, which enhanced the beauty of the celebration. The team, led by Antonia, provided exceptional service by giving my bridal party a private space to gather before the event. I truly loved working with Bloom Bar - they were amazing and easy to collaborate with, and everything turned out even better than I had imagined. My guests are still raving about the beautiful and intimate celebration they helped create.
