We cannot say enough amazing things about Bello Giorno Estate. The location of the estate is adjacent to a small river, which made for absolutely spectacular wedding photos. Think Secret Garden meets Italian Villa! We also loved the intimate feel of the banquet hall, which was the perfect fit for our wedding size. Our guests loved the food and service. Even though we planned our wedding remotely, working with Monica and Stephanie was incredibly easy, as they were very responsive to both email and phone calls. We felt like they went above and beyond to accommodate us and tailor our wedding so it would be perfect. We couldn't have asked for a better venue to hold our wedding. Thank you Bello Giorno!

Bear Creek Mountain Resort

Macungie, PA
  • Up to 250 guests
  • All-inclusive
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $9,450

From picking the dress and choosing the décor, to sending invitations and scheduling photography time, we forget about the two little words that really matter …”the venue”. At Bear Creek, the only two words you need to remember are “I do”; the rest is in our hands. This unique wedding venue offers everything you need for your wedding including your choice between three reception rooms & ceremony sites, on-site hotel and spa, two full-service restaurants, as well as outdoor and indoor pools and hot tubs. With over a decade of hosting weddings on 330 acres of scenic property, Bear Creek provides precise planning services and exceptional event execution with stunning views overlooking the mountain.

The entire staff at Bear Creek made our day stress free and so special! They were so accommodating and made sure everything went so smoothly. Even with torrential rain, they transitioned everything indoors so seamlessly but our ceremony was still so beautiful and cozy. The price was a little higher than a DIY venue, but it includes amazing service and attention to detail, an event coordinator to keep things running smoothly, and extras. There were 3 weddings going on at our same wedding time and we wouldn’t have had any idea. Would definitely recommend!

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.

My fiancé Lauren and I are getting married at the Waterloo Village in Byram, NJ this fall and our experience so far has been amazing. We were able to do a complimentary group tasting which was great, not only to taste the food (which was amazing) but it also gave us a good idea of what the venue and layout would look with a full house. It was also a great opportunity to meet other couples getting married at the venue as well and exchange ideas. Our planner Christine has also been great, she helped us build our menu and has been able to answer all of our questions. Overall it’s been a great experience and we can’t wait for our big day.

Wedding tables, chairs, silverware, plates, lighting, linens, and wedding coordinators are included in the Facility Fee.

We are SO grateful to Camp Lindenmere for having the most beautiful venue and the most supportive, helpful staff! I knew I wanted a camp wedding from day 1 of planning, but most camps require a lot of DIY. Kyle, Elliot and staff are SO on top of planning ,guest bookings, timelines, day of coordination, doing all the set up (I mean we literally brought in our mug favors and they put the little “thank you” tags on, they put batteries in our taper candles, etc. I swear they don’t say no.) The food all weekend was incredible, the drinks were flowing (my husband and I were CRAVING the ribs we had at the reception for a full week after). Our guests were really pleasantly surprised at the “country club” feel of the summer camp - staff is always around on golf carts to escort guests as needed, there’s even a beer golf cart going around on Saturday. The waterfront was beautiful, everyone got a kick out of the high ropes course, people were playing volleyball under the lights all hours of the night. They told us the after-party would end at 1:30 but we were partying til 3:30 and no one was kicking us out. I’m trying to convince everyone I know to get married here so I can come back as a guest!

My daughter was married at The Stonehouse in The Lodge. There are not enough positive words to describe the planning and the wedding. Carissa is an absolute pleasure to work with and I imagine to work for. She has the most amazing team of professional and friendly staff. The first time we sat down with her to plan the wedding, we felt like we were special clients. That feeling never disappeared from that day until the wedding. My daughter and I had endless questions throughout the planning. Carissa always responded in a timely fashion and never made us feel like we were a bother. My guests are still talking about the wedding, the venue and especially the food. My husband and I have frequently eaten at The Stonehouse and have always been impressed. We were not surprised that the catering is equally impressive. From the tasting, to planning the menu, to the actual wedding, the choices were endless and amazing. I can not think of a single thing I would change about the day. It was Perfect!! Landmark Group is a top wedding venue because they know how to do it right the first time and every time!!!

Scott was an outstanding maitre de the night of rehearsal and the day/night of the wedding and Nancy was wonderful and so easy to work with from initial emails to dinner tasting to countless phone calls (on my end) to the wedding day and everything in between! Bartenders and servers were extremely friend both during the rehearsal dinner and the wedding day! Beautiful martini bar add on was a HUGE hit! So happy and thrilled we chose Springfield!
