Our wedding at Terrain Gardens at DelVal was absolutely perfect! It was a dream!!! I’m breaking it down below because Terrain exceeded my expectations in every category possible. I cannot recommend them and this venue more highly. Food: This was probably the most important thing to me and my then fiancé when picking a venue. I wanted my guests to say, “wow, this is the best food I’ve ever had at a wedding!” …Well, goal accomplished! I heard that multiple times and people are still raving about the food weeks later!! The cocktail hour was extravagant and extensive!! And the dinner did not disappoint! Dessert was amazing as well. I don’t know what else to say but it was sooo much food and sooooo delicious! Venue space: It’s spacious and absolutely beautiful. I had about 165 guests (176 is the max) and it worked perfectly! The long farm tables layout for dinner is stunning. The dance floor area is huge. The outdoor space is perfect and a lot of my guests hung out out there throughout the evening. They set up a bar and s’mores by the fire pits outside so it made the space very usable and welcoming. We had our ceremony inside because it was in July and I didn’t want guests to be hot and that worked out well, the front half of the room had chairs while the back half had cocktail tables set up where people could stand and enjoy their drinks during the ceremony - which worked great with the margarita greeting we selected! Wedding Coordinator: At Terrain included with your wedding you are assigned a coordinator after booking your date. I can’t tell you what an incredible value I felt like this was! Our coordinator, Matt, was absolutely amazing and there’s no way our wedding would have been the dream it was without him! Matt and the Terrain team went above and beyond to make sure we were happy and satisfied with everything involving our big day. We met with Matt every month or so leading up to the wedding and had clear things to work on, discuss, and decide for each meeting - this high level of organization made planning so much easier, more efficient, and more enjoyable! The day of we also had Morgan join Matt in coordinating, everything seemed to flow so smoothly and effortlessly and I know that’s only due to how hard they were working behind the scenes!! As the bride, I didn’t have to worry about a thing, they made everything go off without a hitch and took such good care of me! Terrain Design (Florist): I used Terrain Design for my florals and worked with Stephanie - I can’t express how impressed and overwhelmed I was with her and her team’s work. I am very particular and threw a lot of pretty unique ideas out there. I cried the second I first walked into the venue!! I was so blown away by the table settings. The bud vase and candle table scapes created the most beautiful, whimsical scene. Stephanie and her team worked some magic to deliver everything I’ve ever wanted but could have never envisioned myself. It still amazes me how well she understood my vision and made it come to life beautifully! Thank you so much Terrain for making all my wedding dreams come true, making my big day so incredibly special, and for being so kind and accommodating throughout it all!

Wow, where do I even start with this review. I am so thankful I was able to have my wedding at Rats Restaurant at Grounds for Sculpture. When you enter Rats you walk into a fairytale-like location. The venue is absolutely beautiful and unlike any wedding venue I have ever seen. The service at Rats is 10/10, every single person working our wedding was wonderful and our guests couldn’t stop telling us how kind all of the workers were. The food and drinks were delicious. Most importantly, the event coordinator, Kathy, will put your wedding planning stress at complete ease. 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.

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.

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.

They were able to accommodate our bicultural family with a bilingual DJ and menu items that were not listed on their menu, and everything at our reception was laid out with care and attention to detail.

I am beyond satisfied with my wedding experience with Brooklake Country Club. We worked with Wendy and for 18 months, she guided us with her expertise and professionalism every step of the way. I could always rely on her to get back to us right away and do whatever was necessary to make our day memorable. The venue only hosts one event at a time, so on the day of your event, the entire staff is working tirelessly to make YOUR day run as smoothly as possible. On the day of my wedding, I did not have to worry about a thing. My bridal attendant, Michelle, was absolutely phenomenal. From morning until night, she was there to make my experience so much easier so that I could truly enjoy every minute of the experience. Along with Wendy, our Maitre D Natalia kept the day running without a misstep. My parents raved about the level of service they received at their table, and all my guests complimented me on the quality of food served. The venue has breathtaking views that are perfect for pictures and can be enjoyed from anywhere on the grounds. I would absolutely recommend this venue for anyone looking to host a wedding or event there. Not only is it beautiful, but the staff are caring and efficient as well.

If you want all of your wedding dreams to come true, look no further. The Park Savoy was above and beyond anything I could have ever imagined for my wedding day. The staff is so accommodating and helpful. They took my vision and brought it to life!! Working with Maya, Junior, and the other attendants just made the day go so smoothly.

Photographing weddings for 14 years now, I can honestly say Lois has been by far my favorite officiant I've had the pleasure of working with. Her venue is truly a beautiful, intimate space for anyone looking for a gorgeous nature landscape, with tons of great photo spots on the property. Lois is a kind, wonderful, and inclusive officiant, focusing on what makes every couple special- highlighting their personalities, backgrounds, and what makes them unique. No two ceremonies are alike, and you can tell how much love and care she puts into each ceremony. You cannot pick a better venue or officiant for an elopement or micro wedding.

Loved everything about this venue, from the gorgeous green space to the 1920s-30s architecture to the very convenient pavilion. Payton, the events coordinator, was a breeze to work with. They also allowed our dog to be part of the big day, which was an important criteria for us. Would recommend AAC for your wedding!

Before it became our beloved event venue, the historic Crystal Plaza was originally a residential mansion. The initial Livingston, New Jersey-based residence was built in the late 1800s by famed architect Stanford White, who was responsible for designing the Tiffany building on Fifth Avenue, the original Madison Square Garden complex among other landmark structures. While the restored building has since been reincarnated as one of the leading wedding and event spaces in the tri-state area, it still maintains the feeling of its 19th century grandeur. Our impeccable, white-glove service begins the moment you arrive. Crystal Plaza hosts only one event at a time, ensuring that our dedicated team focuses singularly on you and your every need. From the elegant Grand Ballroom boasting numerous chandeliers (how the Crystal Plaza name came to be) to the lush gardens that change beautifully with the seasons, there are myriad backdrops to complement your wedding, social affair or corporate event.

We had our wedding reception at Crystal Plaza on March 15, 2024 and I don't even know where to begin! I'll start by saying because of Crystal Plaza, we had the best day of our lives. When touring venues all I kept saying in my head was that I wanted something fresh and different. From the moment I walked in the door, I could sense that about Crystal Plaza. The venue holds onto the classic elegance you look for in a wedding, but with everything they have to offer, it puts a modern and fresh twist on classic beauty. Max took time to go through all aspects of our day at Crystal Plaza and was polite and accommodating since day 1. They were responsive and helpful through all of the wedding planning and when the day came we felt like royalty. The bridal and groom suites are out of this world and the bridal attendants are extraordinary. They even asked if I was too hot or cold and adjusted the temperature all day for me! They brought me a smoothie made there by request because I was having a hard time eating with all the excitement! I could go on and on. The cocktail hour is like nothing I have ever seen before and the food for dinner is actually delicious whereas at many weddings that is not the case. Every guest has been raving about the food, the service, and the seamless nature of our day. The best decision we made was booking Crystal Plaza for our wedding!

There were quite a bit of rules and miscommunications along the way. This made the experience, especially during the end of the engagement season and the actual wedding day a bit dramatic and exhausting. However, this could be avoided if every single detail is ironed out from the very beginning and you are giving consistent reminders of what you're anticipating your day to be like. Overall, the venue is gorgeous and every single area of it is grounds for awesome photo-ops. On a gorgeous day, you will absolutely not regret choosing this location. Not only is it super affordable, but they also give you the freedom to pick your other vendors to create your ideal wedding (as almost everything else is kind of "a la carte"). A bonus is that you get the whole grounds on your wedding day, so that's exciting for you and your guests!

Absolutely fell in love with the Morris Arboretum the first time we viewed it as a possible wedding venue in February. There were no beautiful f flowers bloomed and the trees had lost their leaves BUT it was still perfect and stunning. The day of our wedding as we drove up to the venue I started to cry bc it was so much more beautiful than I could have ever imagined.

Barn on Bridge provided an exceptional experience for our wedding day! Amanda Frangoulis, our event manager, went above and beyond to ensure every detail aligned with our vision, including arranging a private tasting when my husband couldn’t attend the quarterly one. I provided a detailed menu that reflected my vision for a fall rustic wedding, and the culinary team executed it with incredible precision. For hors d’oeuvres, we selected salmon deviled eggs, southwest crab cake bites, lobster mac & cheese bites, Caprese skewers, and Mediterranean lamb burger sliders with tzatziki sauce. Our first course was an unforgettable butternut squash sweet potato soup with pumpkin seeds poured tableside over butternut squash cubes—a show-stopping experience! For entrees, we had spicy honey-glazed panko-crusted salmon, apple cider-glazed chicken, and butternut squash ravioli with brown sage butter sauce and toasted pine nuts, paired with kale & apple salad, garlic Parmesan green beans, and sweet potato mash (If you ever use these dishes, you’re going to have to credit Barn on Bridge and me!). Guests raved about the delicious and perfectly executed dishes, and I was thrilled to hear the culinary team plans to adopt some of my suggestions into future menus! Thalia, our day-of coordinator, ensured everything ran seamlessly and went the extra mile by preparing leftovers for us—a thoughtful touch that allowed us to savor the incredible food later. I also want to emphasize that successful weddings are a partnership. Often, dissatisfaction stems from a lack of clear communication, but this team is exceptional at walking you through every step. They genuinely care about your vision and execute it with precision. I felt supported, valued, and cared for throughout the process. If you communicate your ideas, Barn on Bridge will deliver above and beyond. I wholeheartedly recommend them for an unforgettable wedding experience!

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.

My fiancé and I were looking for a rustic wedding venue, not a ballroom, preferably a venue with space to be outside (weather permitting). We visited a few options in the Philly area and fell in love with the John James Audubon Center! The space offers SO many options for an outdoor or indoor ceremony. They host receptions in the pavilion which is open with huge windows and firepits outside! The site is beautiful, and everyone we’ve worked with has been immensely helpful! After officially booking for our October 2024 wedding, we planned to visit with our parents. What was originally intended to be a quick stroll around the grounds turned into an impromptu tour with the venue manage. She answered all of our parents' questions and even brought out photo books of previous weddings for us to flip through together. With the wedding right around the corner now, we could not be more thrilled with our decision and can't wait to be there next month to celebrate our big day!

We loved our wedding at Snug Harbor. Josephine & Jessica were thorough and very professional taking away a lot of the stress and anxiety that comes with a wedding day. We had two in person meetings, one in the beginning and one shortly before the wedding, and constant email contact. They made sure to have every single detail that was needed for the big day. We ran into 0 problems the day of the wedding (not that we know of at least, which is even nicer) thanks to them. Our bridal attendant the day of, Alva, was an angel. She helped me cheer up about the rain “ruining” the day. She was incredibly helpful when we were getting our pictures done making sure to have umbrellas for us and helping me hold my dress to make sure it didn’t get wet or dirty. The day went smoothly with little worry on our end thanks to the team at Snug Harbor. I would talk more on the grounds but I feel like that beauty speaks for itself.

Stunning venue - the display garden is truly a one in a million place to get married. We initially planned to have our cocktail hour outdoors as we wanted to highlight the reflecting pool but unfortunately the weather didn’t permit - we had cocktail hour inside and it was still incredible. The whole team there was impressive and the food was truly delicious. My standards for wedding food are pretty low but it was excellent, and many of our guests commented that it was the best wedding food they’ve ever had (and they’d eat it again if they could). The whole team was lovely to work with. So, so glad we got married here!!

We loved having our wedding at Merion Tribute House! Their venue provided the perfect backdrop for our big day. Communication with their staff was quick and easy - they responded to emails promptly and made planning low maintenance. The venue itself is a beautiful castle like setting that made for gorgeous photos. The grounds were very well kept and perfect for our outdoor ceremony. One thing we appreciated was their BYOB policy, which helped control costs. They provide a list of preferred caterers and officiants that made booking easy. Overall, Merion Tribute House offers a beautiful setting at a reasonable price - would highly recommend them for your wedding or special event!

I married a great couple at the Grand a few weeks ago, and it was handles just beautifully! The inside ceremony space is really pretty, (and having an alternative on a day when the garden is not a possibility is real plus), the cocktail hour area is really fun and "pub-like" with plenty of room for stations and a gorgeous bar. The staff there (our Maitre 'd was Sal) were so easy to work with and kept the proceedings moving along seamlessly. It's a terrific place to have a party, and I can't wait to be back again!

Constructed in 1932, this vintage barn oversees 12+ acres of native grasslands – a rich habitat for wildflowers, birds and butterflies – and a historic farmhouse built in the 1750s by a second-generation Quaker farmer. The property is also home to Pinelands Preservation Alliance, whose mission is to protect the natural resources, history and culture of this unique region.

The recently completed renovation brings contemporary comfort and energy efficiency to a setting that still retains its authentic character. For weddings and private celebrations, the “big red barn” opens onto beautiful outdoor spaces for garden ceremonies and cocktails, while the interior is scaled for dinner and dancing for as many as 175 guests.

Our wedding is this October at Bishop. We are so excited and the venue couldn't be more perfect for a fall or spring wedding. The venue is unique in that the reception is held in the barn loft. How cool and different!! We had a coordinator assigned to us which make us feel secure that our day will run smoothly! Everyone has been so helpful with the entire process. We couldn't recommend this venue and the team behind the scenes more!

Our wedding day was something out of a dream, and my husband and I cannot stop talking about it over one month later. The Penn Museum was absolutely the highlight of our wedding. From the ceremony space (Sphinx gallery!), to our cocktail hour (Pepper Hall), dinner in the Chinese Rotunda, and dancing with the mummies… the whole thing was breathtaking from start to finish. It was everything I had imagined and I wish we could do it over and over again. Atiya was simply the best, and I know I will be reminiscing on this day for years to come.

She was always easy to get ahold of, and worked hard to make sure our needs were met. Our day-of coordinator, Niyah, helped us pull off the ceremony and reception without any hiccups, and eliminated the stress of the big day.
