We had the pleasure of hosting our wedding at Rutherfurd Hall earlier this year, and we can't speak highly enough of the experience. From start to finish, everything was absolutely perfect. The venue itself is breathtaking—elegantly designed with gorgeous views, and it has an atmosphere that feels both luxurious and intimate. It was everything we dreamed of and more. Especially when we had a lot of challenges finding a venue for an Indian wedding to fit all your needs! A huge part of what made our day so unforgettable was the incredible service provided by the Director, Nick Serraino. From our very first meeting, Nick went above and beyond to ensure all your requests were accepted. He was incredibly kind, and always available to answer questions (which we had many of) or offer help! His professionalism and warm personality made the entire planning process smooth and stress-free. We can’t thank him and his team enough! If you’re looking for a venue that not only offers stunning surroundings but also a team that genuinely goes the extra mile to make your day perfect, look no further than Rutherfurd Hall. Our wedding is always a topic of fond memories at all other family gatherings! We will forever be grateful for the incredible experience and the kindness of Nick!

Awarded Best of Zola
Cedar Crest Farm was the perfect, exclusive venue for our wedding day. From their excellent, prompt, and genuine communication leading up to the event, to the incredible value and quality of their unique, rustic, and historic property, we could not have asked for a better experience. The beautifully maintained grounds, annual fall pumpkin display, handmade haybale couches, and fun lawn games like cornhole and croquet made our celebration feel truly special and connected to the natural setting. They also went above and beyond, suggesting easy and beautiful DIY activities like s'mores packs, charcuterie handhelds, and custom water bottles to enhance our "day after" luncheon. We are so grateful to the Cedar Crest Farm team for helping make our wedding day unforgettable.

We recently attended a wedding at the most breathtaking barn venue, and it was nothing short of magical. From the moment we arrived, it was clear that every single detail had been thoughtfully planned and beautifully executed. The decorations were absolutely stunning — a perfect blend of rustic charm and elegant sophistication. Twinkling string lights, delicate floral arrangements, and vintage-inspired accents created an atmosphere that felt both cozy and grand. 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.

We got married at The Barn on Hubbard in the Catskills, and it was everything we could have hoped for and more. The venue itself is absolutely breathtaking—an old rustic barn that has been thoughtfully renovated, keeping all of its original charm while adding just the right modern touches. It made for the most beautiful backdrop to our day. From the very beginning, Sara was wonderful to work with. She was responsive, helpful, and always a great communicator, which made planning so much easier. I had always dreamed of getting married at home in the Catskills, and after visiting a number of venues in the area, The Barn on Hubbard was by far the one that felt right. It struck the perfect balance of cozy, elegant, and natural. Our wedding day was everything we envisioned—warm, joyful, and stunning from start to finish. I truly wouldn’t have changed a thing, and I can’t recommend this venue enough to any couple looking for a Catskills wedding!!

Lea and Dov provided an exceptional wedding experience for us. Their communication throughout the process was eloquent, clear, and incredibly helpful as they guided us through the history and details of their beautiful property, and connected us with all the right third party vendors. The quality and value for money this property offers is unparalleled - the grounds are truly magical, with a sense of privacy, luxury, and spiritual connection to the scenic waterfront and private lake. We felt an incredible sense of peace on their sprawling, private land — only 1.5-2 hours from NYC — making it the perfect venue to get married for us.

Why Choose New Jersey for Your Wedding Day?

New Jersey gives you four distinct regions with unique wedding settings and styles to match any vision. September tops the charts for wedding inquiries here, so you'll want to plan ahead if you're eyeing a date during peak season. 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.

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.

How Much Should You Budget for a New Jersey Wedding?

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.
