“I've been shooting weddings at Mountainville Manor house since Lauren Abramo and team first started bringing their magic touch to renovate the venue. Since then I have shot number weddings there. Each one has gone off without a hitch, with the back end working smoothy to produce a flawless event for the guests. One of the bet things as a vendor is how they look out for us. I never have to beg for a glass of water. We are always fed on time with the food is hot! (That never happens.) If the treat the vendors as well as they do, you can only imagine how they cater to the bride and groom. I recommend it for everyone looking for a charming venue in the Hudson Highlands at the gateway to the Catskills”

“I cannot rave more about Bello Giorno Estates. We just had our wedding on Saturday and Stephanie was wonderful to have as a coordinator. She made my vision come to life with the decor and was so sweet and helped me with anything I needed, including a few dress mishaps!

“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!”

“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.”

“We had such a great experience celebrating our son’s second birthday at Claremont Distillery! With rain in the forecast, we were scrambling at the last minute to find a place where we could move his party indoors, and the team at Claremont could not have been more welcoming or accommodating. They made the whole process incredibly easy and gave our family the perfect space to celebrate together without having to worry about the weather. We especially loved how family-friendly the distillery was. Our son and the other kids were able to have fun and enjoy the party, while the adults could relax, grab a cocktail, and celebrate too. It really felt like a space where everyone was welcome. The space was beautiful, the staff was friendly and helpful, and everyone made us feel right at home.

“Our wedding at Crossed Keys Estate was an absolute dream come true! From the moment we arrived, we knew this was the venue of our dreams. Danielle, our honorary flower girl, was one of the very first people who made that feeling real for us. She radiates kindness and warmth, and from day one, she made us feel welcomed, supported, and genuinely cared for. Danielle played such a meaningful role in bringing us to Crossed Keys, and we will forever be grateful to her for helping make this dream a reality. From the very first moment to the final goodbye, every single person we encountered went above and beyond in ways we never could have imagined. This is not just a venue. This is a family. Traci deserves her own standing ovation. She worked with us for months and never once fumbled a detail. Calm, organized, proactive, and endlessly kind, Traci made the entire planning process feel seamless and stress-free. On the wedding day itself, she was everywhere without ever being intrusive, anticipating needs before we even voiced them. When my bustle broke mid celebration, Traci and Kathrine, the owner, were literally on their hands and knees safety pinning my dress so I could be comfortable and keep dancing. That level of care and professionalism is rare, and it is unforgettable. Kathrine’s husband personally went to the Inn to retrieve items we forgot. Not once, but twice. That alone says everything you need to know about the people behind this place. The food deserves serious recognition. Every course was thoughtfully prepared, beautifully presented, and absolutely incredible. From cocktail hour through dinner, the quality and flavor were consistently next level. Guests are still talking about how good everything was, and several told us it was the best wedding food they have ever had. It was clear that the kitchen takes immense pride in what they serve, and it showed in every bite. The drinks were equally impressive and expertly crafted, adding to an already unforgettable experience. Every member of the staff was extraordinary, but a very special thank you to Barb, our incredible server, who made it her personal mission to keep us hydrated, fed, and happy. She followed us around all night, making sure we had water, drinks, and that we actually ate. She all but spoon-fed me, fully aware that I was never leaving that dance floor. Thank you for packing us pastries! They were absolutely delicious and the perfect ending to a perfect day! Jess, come on girl!! You and your team completely outdid yourselves. The decor was stunning and brought our entire vision to life in a way that exceeded every expectation. We are honestly at a loss for words. Crossed Keys Estate treats you like family, and that is something you feel in every interaction, every detail, and every moment of your day. A gigantic thank you to everyone at CKE. This is a place we will hold close to our hearts for years to come!”
