Featuring a working mill, blacksmith shop, active church, and several beautiful historic houses, Waterloo Village is a time capsule surrounded by an air of tranquil beauty. With its rich history, Waterloo Village is the perfect setting for weddings. Boasting two spectacular indoor event spaces—the newly-renovated meeting house and the rustic pavilion—in addition to its spacious outdoor compound, Waterloo has the resources and ambiance to make your special occasion a memorable success. As a remarkably well-preserved example of a 19th-Century canal town and the site of a 400-year-old Lenape Indian village, Waterloo Village is an incredibly valuable piece of New Jersey history. Waterloo is open to the public as part of Allamuchy Mountain State Park and home to many events and educational programs to teach and inform visitors about the past. When you choose Waterloo Village as the setting for your event, a portion of proceeds will go towards the preservation and restoration of the site.

Awarded Best of Zola
Waterloo Village is a truly magical venue, and we couldn’t be happier with our experience there. We first visited for a wedding and were immediately captivated by the rustic charm and historic atmosphere. After seeing how seamlessly everything ran that day, we knew it was the perfect place for our own wedding. The staff at Waterloo Village is outstanding—extremely friendly, helpful, and refreshingly low-pressure. They genuinely focus on making your day special without pushing you to spend beyond your budget. Their professionalism and warmth made the planning process enjoyable and stress-free. One of the highlights is their catering partner, JAM. Their commitment to farm-to-table dining is evident in every dish. Many of the ingredients are sourced fresh, some even from their urban garden, which adds a special touch. The food is not only fresh but absolutely delicious. If you’re looking for a beautiful venue with incredible staff and top-notch food, Waterloo Village is a fantastic choice!

Hiring a DJ for our wedding was something that was difficult for us without seeing them perform. From the day we met Steve at a wedding expo, I knew he was the perfect fit. He sat down with us for quite some time to discuss their process, their capabilities, and their vision. The online portal made it easy for us to find and add songs we wanted played throughout our day. Steve even went as far as remastering a version of a song for my step father and myself to dance to! If I could, I would re-hire SG Productions over AND OVER again!! They truly made our day memorable, held us accountable to our timelines, and kept all of our guests on the dance floor. We are SOOO thankful!! Steve and his team are the best of the best!! HIGHLY recommend!!

Hi there! I’m Djaniella (or dj for short). I love storytelling, adventures, and creating connections with people. I’m attracted to a meaningful image, and being able to relive that moment in my mind. A coffee shop and an ice cream parlor is always on my list whenever I visit a new town. I love the sound of waves crashing along the shore, I love people-watching, I love basketball, I love spending time with my family, and I love good food. Thanks for visiting! Let’s work with each other :)

DJ was absolutely amazing! She was able to capture these beautiful moments from start to finish. Both my wife and I aren’t the most smiley but because of DJ working with us and talking it through with us at our engagement session by the time we got to our wedding day it was so effortless. We absolutely love the pictures but we love the ones of our family even more. She absolutely photographed my family which had darker skin tones beautifully which was one of my concerns when looking for a photographer but DJ did amazing and we have these stunning photographs to forever remember the day. She herself is so kind and delightful and is so cool to work with and worked so well with our other vendors too.

Awarded Best of Zola
Chris is, simply put - the best. From our first meeting it was clear he understood exactly what we were looking for, which allowed us to go into our wedding day with full confidence and peace of mind. He came prepared that day for every possible contingency and even kept tabs with the MOH and Best Man to make sure everything was running on time, all while keeping a positive, calm, and upbeat demeanor. NOT TO MENTION he was able to capture such amazing and special moments throughout the day and evening — even when it meant wrangling some of our more rowdy guests to get the perfect shot. We could not be happier with how the photos turned out. The hardest part now is picking out our favorites to print and share because there are so many incredible photos. Could not recommend Chris highly enough — 10/10!

Cannot recommend Ben enough! We did our engagement pictures with Ben ahead of our wedding and they were 1000/10. He is a master at finding the perfect lighting and did the perfect mix of the more modern photos we love and the more traditional ones our parents/grandparents love. My husband and I are both terrible at posing but Ben kept us comfortable and laughing our entire wedding day and made our photos look so natural! He is hilarious and brought such positive energy the entire day - everyone in our bridal party couldn’t say enough wonderful things about Ben! Ben even gave us a few preview physical prints during our reception which was such a beautiful touch! Can’t recommend Ben enough!

After having a wonderful bridal trial with Amanda, my daughter decided she wanted to wear her hair down for the wedding and not in a bun. The day of her wedding Amanda gave her exactly what she wanted!! Amanda remained calm as they worked through different options before settling on a half up, have down look. OMG she has never looked that radiant ( and that’s the truth)! her hair looked radiant and elegant. I can’t believe it, but it stayed all night through the crazy dancing and jumping around. Amanada gave me an amazing blow out (i usually wear it curly) and it was the first time in a decade i decided to go for it and people gave me so many compliments. it too lasted the whole night and 3 days later ;). She was able to add a hair piece to my other daughter and give her a beautiful style. She also blew out two grandmothers.

As many millennials do, we met on one of those phone dating apps (eh hem.. Tinder..) and had an instant connection! It didn't take long for Korey to make things "official" and asked Diana if she would be his girlfriend. Of course she said 'yes!' and it was a whirlwind after that. We adopted an adorable blue nose pittie, moved in together, and started a business! Now here we are, 6 years later - chasing our dreams and building a career together as a MARRIED COUPLE!! (and we also have another pup!).

Diana and Korey Photo and Film are absolutely the best in the biz and just AMAZING people all around! I cannot say enough good things about them and their GORGEOUS photos. Diana came out to Colorado to shoot my micro wedding, and we couldn't be happier with how our photos came out and how the day went. She gave us all the poses (because we had no idea), positioned my veil and train each time, had an eye for the best shots, and made the entire process seamless and fun. She helped us plan all the family portrait combinations in advance, and thought of all the tiny details that made our photos extra special. They gave us some sneak peeks right away and set good expectations on when the rest of the photos would be done, and delivered them on time! They are professional, easy to work with, punctual, kind, enthusiastic and take stunning photos that are really works of art. I couldn't have asked for a better team to capture our wedding and I'm so grateful for them. Hire them! You will not regret it.

We found this band on YouTube, we were digging there to watch some videos of wedding bands, and we were lucky. I, my fiancé, and some family members, were searching for bands, so we found Loveday Band, everyone loved the video, so we contacted them. Marcel is a great guy, he's the manager, he listened to my vision for my wedding, and after just listening to me, he starts to put pictures in the air illustrating my vision, he is amazing. From planning the timelines throughout the year to the big day, he did everything as we expected. He takes care of everything, he put a pianist and a violinist to receive all my guests at Park Savoy entrance, everyone still sometimes commenting on how beautiful that was, he created such a perfect atmosphere from the beginning. Our ceremony had a professional violinist and a pianist, they made us feel as if we were in a royal castle, and during the cocktail we had his Jazz Trio Band, they were professional musicians and the band as well. The Band had a memorable performance, seeing everyone on the dance floor, and looking that dance floor completely full, was the best answer about this band, I still having compliments for the performance of this band, as they said, I had a party of my dreams, we were lucky to have Loveday band in our wedding, thanks again, Love, Mariah & Jerry

A small studio in Union NJ with big plans! I have been a photographer for 6 years working as a freelancer. Learning on the field like back in the day is the best way to learn everything about photography. Starting a Zola is the first step to branch from a freelancer to a business owner / photographer. Im starting my own business for my baby, Xavier. Working at your wedding helps me be with my family longer.

Awarded Best of Zola
When we hire professionals to our team we try our best to weave out the goods from the bad. We grew close with Davide from Malta Studio. Good head on his shoulders, professional no matter what the situation may be, and a great sense of humor through out the day.

Hi, I’m Cathy Melando—Congrats on your engagement! I’m a registered officiant in NJ and licensed in NY. I create personalized, meaningful ceremonies that reflect each couple’s unique love story. I also write custom scripts for first-time officiants. Whether you're planning a small gathering or a big celebration, I offer traditional or modern ceremonies for all couples. Since 2010, it’s been an honor to celebrate love in all forms: straight, gay, and lesbian. Let’s make your ceremony as unique and unforgettable as you are!

When my husband and I spontaneously decided to get married this Halloween, we could not have predicted how beautiful it would be- and we have Cathy to thank. With her exceptional creativity, she was able to write a customized, Halloween themed ceremony that made both of us cry. Cathy is highly skilled, competent, friendly, communicative, and above all else, she will go above and beyond to make sure your ceremony is PERFECT. You can not go wrong if you chose her for your special day, for anything from completely traditional, or, if you’re like us, completely non-traditional and unique. Thank you, Cathy, for making our special day one we will remember fondly for the rest of our lives!
