We got married at Edgewater in October 2023 and it was truly a dream. The venue is absolutely gorgeous and very reasonably priced. The staff is phenomenal! Christina and Sal were incredibly helpful, knowledgeable, professional, and put our minds at ease. I can easily say they were the reason we were stress free. Emily and Alanna made sure we were their number one priority that day. They were constantly checking in on us, giving us whatever we needed. They knew what we needed/wanted before we even did. Our parents raved about the staff checking on them as well. Every little detail was perfect because of the staff. The food was so delicious, thanks to chef Jay. Every single one of our guests came up to us to rave about the beauty of the venue, the food, the staff, and the bartenders. The bartenders were awesome and quickly learned everyone’s order, having the drinks ready for them when they got to the bar. It was the best day of our lives and we couldn’t have picked a better venue with a better staff, because there simply isn’t one. Thank you Edgewater for being the perfect beach venue!!

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 ceremony and reception at Windows on the Water at Frogbridge last month (May of 2024) and the team went above and beyond at the wedding. We wanted somewhere with natural beauty rather than somewhere over the top(with both indoor and outdoor spaces), lots of trees for shade, and great service and food. In August 2023, I met with Jim with my future sister in law whose kids go to the summer camp (a very fancy one lol) who gave me a tour of the Frogbridge grounds and I immediately fell in love and knew that it was the place for us. When I reached out a few days later to discuss dates and tour with my husband, they told me the space would be ours for the entire day which is so unlike many venues that have multiple weddings in one day. Also, all pricing is visible online so there were no surprises there. Another thing that made this choice more affordable was we were able to work with a local vendor for alcohol. The vendor returned all unopened cans/bottles after our wedding so we were only charged for what was used. In the winter we did a tasting which we could bring 4 more guests to. This was the only thing we were hesitant about because we booked before tasting the food. The experience was super easy and fun- we were able to taste most of the menu offerings and make our selections with our friends. We’re so happy we took a chance because the food, especially the day of the wedding, was amazing! On our wedding day, WOTW Coordinator, Colleen, made everything so easy- from making sure staff was at our beck and call (my wedding party and immediate family were seriously blown away), making sure our decor was perfect, and organizing on the fly when it was officially raining for the whole day (we weren’t even disappointed when Colleen reassured us and proved to us that everything would be perfect). She was awesome and we loved working with her! 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 the best service. Our friends and family raved about the food and how beautiful the venue was. They loved sitting in the tent looking at the beautiful lake. We highly recommend this venue!

  • Indoor & outdoor

The Barn on South Holland is a brand new event space in picturesque Holmdel, New Jersey. The newly renovated barn on 9 acres is the perfect setting for your upcoming special occasion. While there is no doubt that planning an event in these times can be different and challenging, event venues like ours offer the ability to celebrate and be as safe as possible. Many people have opted to hold smaller more intimate gatherings which can make planning a little easier and less stressful. The Barn on South Holland is a banquet facility that offers indoor and outdoor accommodations perfect for both small and large events.

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.

Dream of having an LBI wedding? The LBIF is the perfect host for your celebration. Beach access for your ceremony is conveniently located across the street from the LBIF property. Our upstairs deck overlooking Barnegat Bay provides an ideal spot for a cocktail hour. The main gallery offers a large open space, complete with artwork, providing a unique and interesting backdrop. Call and schedule an appointment to see the various ways you can use the LBIF and its many spaces as the canvas to your perfect, one-of-a-kind wedding.

The LBIF was incredible in so many ways. The observation deck was perfect for cocktail hour and the main gallery space fit our 85 guests PERFECTLY with a king table down the center and 9 round tables around. We had enough room for a dance floor, a Photo Booth, and two bars. We could not be more thrilled with how the space transformed and how KIND and accommodating their staff is. Very easy to work with and very supportive. Jaime (events coordinator) is a literal godsend. My husband and I are both in hospitality so we planned everything ourselves, including DIYing all decor and even the flowers, but Jaime kept us organized and sane. Could not recommend enough!!!

The Ashford Estate was the perfect venue for our wedding! From the beginning, their communication was incredibly responsive and attentive.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Free parking behind the building. Our two-story space offers both indoor seating on two floors and a charming outdoor patio for a delightful dining experience.

My wife and I got married in Princeton in August, and we hosted a dinner / welcome party at Ficus on a Friday evening. We cannot recommend it highly enough for an event! 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.
