The Reeds At Shelter Haven 

5.0

Stone Harbor, NJ
  • Starts at $10,500

The Reeds' casual elegance and coastal chic design combine in perfect harmony with the natural surroundings to create a backdrop that is truly one-of-a-kind. Designed by a team of wedding professionals, The Reeds offers the most exclusive seaside wedding destination at the southern New Jersey shore.

From our initial site visit until we said goodbye to The Reeds team a few days after our wedding, everything was simply wonderful. Liz was so welcoming at our walk-through and she showed us all of the various spaces we could utilize for our wedding and wedding weekend events. The menus and pricing provided were clear and easy to understand. I loved The Reeds before even touring, but once we were able to really see the spaces in person, I knew this was the place for our wedding. We wanted a place where we could do everything on-site and get a chance to spend the whole weekend with our guests in one location and this was definitely the spot for us! Once we booked, Liz was always available to answer any questions as they came up. As we got closer to our wedding date, we were connected with the person who would be our main contact for the detailed planning and on the day of our wedding, Ceandra. Ceandra was so sweet and easy to work with the entire time. Ceandra and Liz both attended our details meeting and we were able to discuss all of our plans, decide on our menu, ask questions, and plan for the big day. We did things a bit out of order because of our schedules and attended the tasting after the planning meeting, but that did not stop us from enjoying everything that was offered. The tasting had such a wide variety of the menu options and allowed us to get a sense of the quality of food and beverages offered. It was just amazing how much food was offered and how good everything was!! It also allowed us to see the wedding team in action. Following the tasting, the time to the wedding moved pretty quickly for us and Ceandra was in contact as often as needed and helped with all of the final details. I cannot even begin to explain how perfect our wedding weekend was. Ceandra and every team member at The Reeds made sure that everything went smoothly and according to plan during our entire stay. We met Ceandra for our drop off and did a final review of all the plans for the day. The next day, we had our rehearsal on-site, followed by our Rehearsal Dinner on the Roof Garden. The morning of the wedding, we used our space in the Skye Suite (which was SPECTACULAR) for getting hair and make-up done. We utilized various spaces on-site for our first look, bridal party, and family photos and even took a quick trip to the beach in one of their golf carts for beach photos. The outdoor ceremony site at The Reeds provided a gorgeous backdrop of our wedding ceremony and then from there, we partied all night long! The cocktail our on the patio allowed so much space for guests to mingle and enjoy time together, and the views could not be beat. Once the reception began, everything stayed on track with the timeline and the team continued to check in with us as the evening progressed. Throughout the entire evening, guests were coming up to us telling us this was the best wedding they had ever attended!! I'm still hearing from family and friends that the bartenders and wait staff were the best they had ever encountered at a weeding. We did not want the wedding to end and were thankful that we planned the After Party at the Crew Room in the Stone Harbor Pizza Pub. It was the perfect way to keep the party going and spend more time with our guests. For our final event, we were back to the Roof Garden for the post-wedding breakfast and everyone had a chance to relive the fun from the night before and say their goodbyes. Everything was perfect!!

The Ashford Estate 

5.0

Allentown, NJ
  • Up to 275 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $50,000

From a small wooded road, over an antique steel bridge, you enter lion-guarded iron gates onto a dramatic white crushed stone drive, lined with old-growth pines, there emerges The Ashford Estate. A stunning estate surrounded by hundreds of acres of preserved farmland, complete with sparkling fountains, waterfalls, a floating gazebo, stone ruins, garden arbors, and sprawling views. In addition to the natural beauty of its grounds, The Ashford features immaculately preserved and architecturally astonishing structures, such as the Barn Chapel, Carriage House, and Grand Ballroom.

The Ashford Estate was the perfect venue for our wedding! From the beginning, their communication was incredibly responsive and attentive. They ran a full-service operation and helped coordinate our special day perfectly - their service was truly unmatched. The space was absolutely stunning, and the food was incredible. The place felt grand, but they made it feel like our home for our celebration. We knew how great the staff was from working with them directly, but we also received so many compliments from our guests on how kind, organized, and attentive they were. They were flexible, professional, and so accommodating throughout the entire process. They made our day so special, and we couldn't recommend The Ashford Estate enough. If you're considering it, this is your sign to book it - it's the best venue ever!

Windows on the water @ frogbrdge 

3.7

Millstone Twp, NJ
  • Up to 300 guests
  • All-inclusive
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $15,000

There is just something special about celebrating your wedding or special occasion lakeside, amidst 86-manicured acres of natural landscape. Windows on the Water is a private resort set in the midst of horse country in Millstone Township, Monmouth County. Beyond the natural landscape, we offer an impressive array of contemporary cuisine selections and polished service staff ― all carefully managed by our senior wedding planners. We guide you through every aspect of planning ─ from creating spectacular menus to seating recommendations and floral arrangement placement. We are with you every step of the way to ensure the success of your wedding or special event from beginning to end and beyond. Windows on the Water at Frogbridge recently received a complete top-to-bottom interior and exterior redesign and renovation, including a separate his and hers bridal suite.

My husband and I had our wedding reception at Windows on the Water at Frogbridge in June of 2023 and it went above and beyond every expectation that we had. All the NJ wedding venues that we toured before Frogbridge (6 total) were either country clubs or over the top ballrooms, and we couldn’t find a place that felt right. I wanted somewhere with natural beauty (with both indoor and outdoor spaces,) not over the top (but definitely not inelegant,) and somewhere with amazing food. My only hesitation with booking Frogbridge was that my brother-in-law and sister-in-law got married there in 2017 (before I met my husband) and I felt like I should have ‘my own venue’ since that was ‘their place’. Looking back I realize that was silly and I’m thankful that my in-laws spoke so highly of WOTW @ Frogbridge and convinced me to check it out on my own. In November 2021, I met with Jim who gave me a tour of the Frogbridge grounds and I immediately fell in love and knew that it was the place for me. It was classy with both indoor space (which was recently renovated!) and stunning outdoor space. It was family-run, and it was the same chef from my in-laws wedding who I had heard about from my husband and in-laws for years about how amazing the food was. When I reached out a few days later to book, I didn’t have to beg for a date two years out like a lot of venues still backed up from Covid were making couples do, and when I had a problem with my church not confirming my ceremony date, they assured me that they would do whatever they could to secure a date that worked for us if we needed to change our original one. One of the things I loved was that all pricing was visible ONLINE. So many venues require you to meet in person so they can go over pricing for dates. Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, are all different prices but they are all listed directly on their website so you know exactly how much you will be paying, before you even take a tour. (Tax is included in that price so you’re not doing unnecessary math like some of these other venues require you to do.) Everything was upfront and honest. We also loved that we were in charge of supplying our own alcohol. We could pick exactly what we wanted and Frogbridge worked with a local vendor who helped us pick what we needed, took care of the delivery a few days prior, and returned all unopened cans/bottles after our wedding so we were only charged for what was used. Wedding planning can be stressful but our WOTW Coordinator, Danielle, made everything so easy- from introducing us to vendors, to helping us pick our decor, and organizing and helping us with every single question we had. She was awesome and we loved working with her! On our reception day, not only did the staff cater to us, the bride and groom - but they really made everyone in our wedding party, our families, and friends feel like they were receiving 5-star treatment. My family and friends still tell us how amazing the food was and how they loved sitting outside looking at the beautiful lake. I genuinely hope that one day one of my family members or friends gets married there so I can experience it all over again as a guest. Our wedding at Windows on the Water at Frogbridge was exceptional and truly one of the greatest days of our lives. Everything and everyone was so incredible throughout the entire process and we can’t recommend this venue enough!

At the newly renovated Windsor Ballroom at the Holiday Inn East Windsor, just 20 minutes from the heart of Princeton, enjoy an unparalleled blend of elegance, comfort and hospitality.

Grounds For Sculpture & Rat's Restaurant 

5.0

Hamilton, NJ
  • Up to 300 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $20,000

Grounds for Sculpture was built in 1992 to foster appreciation for modern sculpture, the venue wows guests with 42-acres of landscaped grounds dotted with over 270 pieces. The event spaces are versatile: We have two different venue locations on property – The Gallery Museum Rooms at the Seward Johnson Center of the Arts, a contemporary sculpture gallery offering a modern space with art exhibits from sculptors from around the world AND Rat’s Restaurant, designed to be reminiscent of Claude Monet’s beloved town of Giverny, with rustic French design influences and whimsical decor. The food is divine: Catering is provided by Constellation Culinary Group at the popular Rat’s Restaurant on site, which Hamilton Township natives know for its scrumptious cuisine, Zagat-rated ambiance, and attentive service. It’s conveniently located: Less than an hour from Philadelphia and New York—and just minutes from Princeton and Hamilton train stations!—it’s an easy trip for guests from all over.

Constellation culinary, especially Lindsey, was so helpful and I had a great experience working with them to plan our evening. We had our reception in the Pavilion at Rat’s and it was such a beautiful space. Lindsey was so flexible and always helpful with offering solutions to problems as they arose. She was very patient and answered all of the little questions I had that came up over the months before our wedding reception. She also offered that if our plan to get married in a park before the reception at Rat’s fell through, we could do our ceremony in the Pavilion. Everyone said that this was the best food they’ve ever had at a wedding and complimented how beautiful the space was and the service of all of the staff during the event. The staff made the event run so smoothly and went above and beyond to serve us on our special day. Also, we realized at the last minute (the week before our wedding) that the grounds were closed on the day of our ceremony, so we thought we would not be able to go on the grounds with our photographer to take photos while our guests enjoyed cocktail hour. Grounds for Sculpture swooped in and agreed to let us enter the grounds for our photos so that we could enjoy the beautiful gardens for our small couples session wedding photos. We were so grateful and happy that they were able to accommodate us and save our sanity as we thought we’d need to look for a new photo location.

Johnson's Locust Hall Farm 

5.0

Jobstown, NJ
  • Up to 150 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $12,500

Johnson’s Locust Hall Farm offers spectacular farm views and unique settings worthy of your vows. The serene farmland & rolling pastures paint an unforgettable backdrop for your wedding. The Barns accommodate intimate weddings of 50 guests or larger celebrations of 150 guests. The farm itself dates to 1692, with a magnificent stone bank barn that has been standing since 1787. Country chic with a hint of rustic charm, Johnson’s Locust Hall Farm, offers lush pastures & authentic spaces.

I'm going to start by saying we are floral designers who have been in the industry for 13 years combined. We have worked alongside some of the best industry professionals in the area and Avery and the Johnson's Locust Hall Team are by far the best! Our wedding was perfect. But more importantly, the attention and care leading up to the day from Avery is what truly made the experience special and quite frankly emotional. We just went back to the venue to pick pumpkins and are still reveling in the emotions of the day. Such a sweet family and location. Our guests had such a wonderful time each space we entered. I could go on and on about how perfect every detail was but instead i'll just say book this venue for your wedding or event, you will have such heart filled memories the rest of your life. Thank you Avery, Allie and the entire staff for giving us the best day of our lives!
