We had the absolute best experience hosting our wedding at Mallard Island Yacht Club. The venue is stunning and the team, led by Gianna, is simply unbelievable in their dedication and professionalism. Communication was a 10/10 - Gianna responded to every question almost immediately and kept us totally at ease during planning. The quality of their work and value is also 100/10. They are the hardest working team and truly made our wedding day perfect. I can't thank Gianna enough for running Mallard like a well-oiled machine and making our dreams come true with her attention to every last detail. She placed us at ease and I followed her every lead and recommendation and because of her worked with the greatest vendors in the wedding game!

Windows on the water @ frogbrdge

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.

Why you'll love this venue

  • Provides lighting and sound
  • Has a chic vibe
  • Flexible event spaces

Venue considerations

  • No free parking
  • Not wheelchair accessible
  • Large venue, not ideal for small guest lists
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!

We LOVED saying “I Do” at the Seaview! The venue speaks for itself during the month of May. The landscaping was absolutely beautiful this time of the year. We opted for an outdoor reception at the gazebo which turned out stunning. Michelle was excellent with all her help in coordinating logistics, recommending vendors, working all fine details of the ceremony and reception service. Sal was an excellent staff member who was your go to guy for any and all service questions. He ensured the Groomsman room was regularly attended to. For the reception he ran the show with service. If you needed something he was your guy to ask and he would ensure any issues would be resolved lucky we had no problems to begin with. Not to mention the food was outstanding we truly got to enjoy the night. If you book your wedding here, you will not be disappointed!

When my husband and I were looking for wedding venues, we were very specify on what we wanted. We really wanted something outdoors for the ceremony and a beautiful reception hall that did not give off that "Ballroom" look. We hated chandeliers and let me tell you, it was difficult to find a venue in NJ without a chandelier. When we first toured Blue Heron Pines, we instantly fell in love. We immediately knew that this was the spot we wanted to get married in. It was exactly what we wanted but the only hesitation we had was that our family lived about an hour away from it. After going back an forth about it, we decided to book it and that was the best decision we have ever made. It turns out that the people that truly love you will make that trip for you because everyone on our guest list came to our wedding! All the employees at Blue Heron were extremely helpful and super nice. Sarah and Tara are amazing at keeping the bride calm throughout the whole process, from booking the venue, down to the day after the wedding. Our wedding day was perfect, thanks to Blue Heron Pines and their amazing staff. I HIGHLY recommend having your wedding at Blue Heron. They will definitely not disappoint!

It's taken me a couple months to write this review since getting married at Park Loft in May because I just haven't felt I had the words to adequately express how perfect this venue and their entire team was. Our wedding day exceeded even our own expectations and was absolutely flawless. I expected a little hiccup somewhere along the way, but there were none. The entire team we worked with were true professionals and had the whole process down to a tee. Our director, Allie, was beyond organized and accommodating, helping us throughout the entire planning process. Chef Thomas is incredible and so invested in ensuring all the food was delicious. Everyone who attended went out of their way to tell us it was the best food they have ever had at a wedding. If you are considering booking with Park Loft, all I can say is DO IT!! You will not regret it and you and all your guests will be blown away by the all around perfection of Park Loft.

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.

Windows on the Water was the perfect wedding venue for an elegant beach wedding. The views of both the ocean and river are absolutely gorgeous. We toured several venues on the beach along the Jersey Shore and none of them came close to WOW. The ceremony spot on the beach couldn’t be better with a beautiful view of the ocean and platform down so that you’re not sitting/standing in the sand. Also since it is a private beach club, there is no one else on the beach during the ceremony. The cocktail hour and reception space are so beautiful and clean (no carpet which gave it a more modern and elegant vibe) and we loved the outdoor deck space for some fresh air while still being steps away from the dance floor. Mike and Cheryl were amazing to work with and made the planning process so easy and stress free. They are so friendly, professional and were responsive to all of our questions throughout the planning process. Both Mike and Cheryl, along with the rest of the staff at WOW truly went above and beyond to make our wedding day perfect! Cheryl and Harley took care of us all night and made sure every need was met and that we always had a drink in our hand. We were so impressed with the food options, particularly for the cocktail hour, and loved how flexible Mike and the WOW team were in allowing us to customize our wedding day menu. We were a little nervous since you don’t get a tasting but all of the food was amazing!! In particular our guests raved about the raw bar at cocktail hour, the filet mignon at dinner, and the pork roll egg and cheese sandwiches at the end of the night. They also offer a 15-minute private cocktail hour for the bride and groom after the ceremony with a bottle of champagne as well all of the cocktail hour food in the private bridal suite which overlooks the beach and ocean. My husband and I really enjoyed this as it gave us the chance for a quiet moment together to soak in excitement of our wedding day, and we actually got a chance to eat before we greeted all of our guests who were enjoying cocktail hour overlooking the beach. I can not recommend WOW enough and hope we get to go back as guests one day!

She is so sweet, puts her heart into her work, is easy to contact, and because of this she made our wedding day perfect. Planning a wedding with Rats is guaranteeing a beautiful event for yourself and I couldn’t recommend them more.
