Skyview Golf Club was the PERFECT place to get married! My now husband and I had a blast at this venue and they made the process soo smooth. Hildegard was a huge help and basically held our hand along the way to make sure we checked everything needed to get done. Not to mention, we were planning a wedding across the country so her communication was essential to this process. I couldn't have asked for a better spot. It's also such a naturally beautiful venue that we didn't need to go overboard with the decoration as they already had a lot of stuff on site! I would 100% recommend this location to people and already have to some of my recently engaged friends! Additionally, their partnered vendors were everything we needed as well. Made it so much easier as they had recommendations already on lock. Thank you again Skyview for making our special night the most memorable.

The property is also home to Pinelands Preservation Alliance, whose mission is to protect the natural resources, history and culture of this unique region.

The recently completed renovation brings contemporary comfort and energy efficiency to a setting that still retains its authentic character. For weddings and private celebrations, the “big red barn” opens onto beautiful outdoor spaces for garden ceremonies and cocktails, while the interior is scaled for dinner and dancing for as many as 175 guests.

When my fiancé and I were trying to decide which venue style we wanted to do go with, all we knew is that we didn’t want the typical Jersey ballroom. We wanted something that was going to make a statement and was elevated, yet had a relaxed. We decided that a rustic barn was just our style. Bishop Farmstead was just that. The beautiful chandelier, wooden tables and scenic gardens were everything we were looking for. As we discussed pricing and packages, everything was reasonable and you get a great bang for your buck. The event staff have been so amazing and great with communication. We get married in 2 months and I’m so excited to see all of our hard work come together.

We had our wedding at the Park Chateau, and from start to finish, the experience was flawless. There’s a reason the Park Chateau is considered the best wedding venue in the state — it’s simply unmatched! The venue is the epitome of luxury, with both the outdoor and indoor spaces being breathtakingly beautiful. The grounds are impeccably maintained, from the vibrant flowers to the tranquil water features. It truly felt like stepping into a fairytale. Guests were absolutely blown away by the setting alone. Every detail, from the architecture to the gardens, was picture-perfect, creating an atmosphere that felt elegant, timeless, and incredibly special. The food was also exceptional! The cocktail hour alone was a standout — our guests couldn’t stop raving about the variety, presentation, and flavor of every dish. Many were genuinely surprised when dinner was served afterward, assuming the cocktail hour had been the main meal because it was that impressive. Both the quantity and quality of the food exceeded all expectations. We received so many compliments from guests about how it was the best wedding food they’d ever had. Most standout, however, was their service. The Park Chateau has an entire team of dedicated professionals who made sure every single detail was executed seamlessly. From bridal attendants literally on their knees scrubbing dirt off my dress, to staff ensuring we always had a drink or a bite to eat, we felt completely cared for the entire day. They checked in on us constantly but never intrusively, even bringing water around while we danced to keep us hydrated and energized. Our families were treated with such respect and warmth, and their kindness and attentiveness were noticed by everyone. The team brought our vision to life with minimal effort on our part, allowing us to be fully present and soak in every moment. The Park Chateau is a premium venue, but it is worth every single penny. It gave us the wedding of our dreams!!

I held my local wedding reception at 3BR, and I couldn’t have asked for a more perfect venue to celebrate with friends and family who couldn’t attend our destination wedding. The atmosphere at 3BR was relaxed and welcoming, creating the ideal environment for a more intimate celebration. From the start, the owners were incredibly responsive and easy to work with. They kept open communication throughout the planning process and were more than accommodating to our needs. One of the things I appreciated most was their flexibility—they allowed us to transform the space after hours to fit our vision, and they made sure every detail was taken care of. Not only was the space unique and full of character, but the vibe was truly one-of-a-kind. The cocktails were a hit with our guests, and the overall ambiance made it a memorable evening for everyone. The owners were friendly, pleasant, and made sure everything ran smoothly, which made the event even more enjoyable. If you're planning a smaller wedding event or reception, I highly recommend 3BR. It’s the perfect place to host a celebration that feels both personal and special. The combination of great service, a fantastic atmosphere, and delicious drinks makes it a standout venue for any occasion.

Rachael and her team were absolutely amazing for our wedding whenever I had a question about the venue I knew I would get a very quick response from Rachael days leading up to the wedding. We kept our eye out on the forecast, hoping to have the ceremony outside in the garden however, with the rain we had to have it inside, but it was still absolutely perfect, they were able to get it, so that way you didn’t see everything underneath the tent during the ceremony and most of the time you didn’t even know they were there.

From the moment we started planning, The Gramercy exceeded every expectation. When I submitted inquiries through Zola, Megan Dunn was the only person to respond with such detailed, timely information which was a huge relief as this was our first time planning a wedding. She guided us with patience, answered every question, and was always present during our site visits. We chose The Gramercy because of the stunning aesthetics, the warm and welcoming staff, the value included in the cost per person, and the fact that they host only one event per day meaning their full attention is on you. Our wedding on June 12 was beyond perfect. Pauline, our host, truly took care of us, making sure we ate, had drinks, and were enjoying ourselves the entire time. She extended that same care to our families too. The team beautifully set up our décor, and they even included extra decorations to help us save money, which was such a thoughtful touch. The food was amazing, and the desert station blew us away! We also held our ceremony onsite, and Megan was incredibly helpful in navigating that process. She guided us on where to go, helped our officiant get registered, and made sure we had all the information needed to obtain our marriage license. On top of that, the staff worked seamlessly with our vendors to ensure everyone was set up and prepared for the day, which made everything run smoothly from start to finish. Huge thank you to the entire Gramercy team for making our day so special and a special shoutout to Megan for being so kind and helpful throughout the whole process. If you’re looking for a venue that will treat your event with genuine care and attention we recommend The Gramercy to anyone, any day!

Every course of dinner was phenomenal, and it felt like we were getting 5-star quality food at a very reasonable price. The smoked salmon canapes, ratatouille, seabass, potato croquettes, desserts - all superb (and that's not even half of the things we ate!). The h'ors d'oeuvres were also delicious, and the service was extremely friendly - Quinta and the team were great to work with prior to the event as well. The space itself was perfect, with a good amount of room on the outdoor patio and plenty of space inside. (We had 80 people at the event). Perfect for folks who might be a little more COVID-cautious and prefer to eat outside. If you want to host an event in Princeton, Ficus is a great spot.

From the very first email with our event planner, Amanda nearly three years ago, to our first visit, through the entire planning process, and finally the wedding day itself—everything was seamless, supportive, and filled with genuine care in every way. This venue doesn't just host your event, they make the event special and authentically personalized to you! The Grand Oaks team went above and beyond with our wedding day. We had zero stress because every detail was handled perfectly—the setup, food, drinks, and service were all exceptional. Our guests raved about the food, the friendly bartenders, and the overall atmosphere being stunning, well maintained, and generally gorgeous. The venue even took us around the golf course for photos in a golf cart, which was such a fun touch! The staff at Grand Oaks were all also fantastic! Amanda and Alyssa are amazing event planners and made our planning process so clear every step of the way! The incredible Maitre'Ds (especially, Monica) and Wedding Attendant Staff took care of our families and wedding party as if we were their own. Our wedding day truly felt like magic, and that’s thanks to the entire Grand Oaks team. We’re endlessly grateful and will cherish this day forever.

You get a better price if you're a township resident, but even the pricing for out-of-township couples was still so reasonable! The location was very close to the train station and there was plenty of parking available for our guests. You'll be limited to their approved caterers and we went with D&D and the food was fantastic. They even had a special spread for our vegan family members which we greatly appreciated! The Temple Garden was beautiful and we really lucked out with our photographer knowing the location well enough to recommend where to shoot our pictures. But I definitely recommend going at least once to scope out where you want your couple pictures taken.

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!

The varied landscapes mean you can find everything from waterfront elegance to historic charm without traveling far.

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

The venue scene in New Jersey covers just about every style imaginable. Luxury estates like Park Chateau in East Brunswick offer stunning French-inspired architecture with gorgeous European gardens that make for incredible photo backdrops. If water views are your thing, places like Liberty House showcase breathtaking NYC skyline panoramas right alongside the water. History buffs fall in love with venues like Pleasantdale Chateau in West Orange with its historic grounds and Mediterranean gardens. Modern couples gravitate toward industrial spaces such as The Art Factory in Paterson where contemporary design meets character and uniqueness.

Wedding venues in New Jersey typically run between $8,600 and $10,600, which falls right in line with the national range of $6,500-$12,000. Your overall costs will scale with your guest count.
