Fox & Bear Lodge 

5.0

Vernon, NJ
  • Up to 100 guests
  • Select services
  • Outdoor
  • Starts at $10,500

The Fox & Bear Lodge would be honored to host your next special event! At the Fox & Bear Lodge, your hosts Brant and Dearrick strive to create for their guests an experience that is truly unique. Brunches, private parties celebrating special occasions, weddings, and/or pre or post-wedding gatherings are elevated with sophisticated touches your hosts can provide. Stunning floral arrangements, beautifully displayed foods both savory and sweet, signature cocktails, or a mixed fruits mimosa bar: these are just a few of the elements that your guests would encounter at an event hosted at The Fox & Bear Lodge. If you are looking to hold a one-of-a-kind gathering that your family and friends are sure to remember, consider holding it at our Lodge. We look forward to serving you.

The Fox and Bear Lodge was the perfect venue for our wedding. Janice, who runs the inn, was an absolute delight and took wonderful care of us and our guests all weekend, with her incredible breakfasts being a standout. Jenn, the day-of coordinator, was equally amazing—organized, attentive, and ensured everything went smoothly, allowing us to enjoy our day stress-free. For context, we had 65 people at our wedding total, including us and two children. This felt like the perfect size for our group, especially given the necessity of the tent due to chilly October nights. The lodge itself is charming, with great rooms and fantastic amenities. Despite its location at the corner of two streets, we barely noticed any traffic. While nearby lodging options are limited, most of our guests were satisfied with the Quality Inn just 10 minutes away. The venue struck a perfect balance between outdoorsy and chic, offering more flexibility than other venues. Though there were some additional but reasonable fees, it was wonderful to have our rehearsal dinner, welcome drinks, and brunch all at the lodge, making it the ideal fit for our special day. We are so thankful that we decided to stay over an extra night, without any of our guests, to get to truly enjoy the lodge a bit more before checking out. We could have stayed there all week! * Photo credit: Katie Christ Photography

We fell in love with this venue the moment we drove up the road. My husband and I grew up in NJ, live in Brooklyn, and were looking for a venue that felt like a nature retreat while still being accessible for our friends and family. Milford is a great town just down the road and the hotels are so close too. Linnea and Alec were so communicative and helpful with the endless lists of questions we sent them. We cannot thank them enough for setting the stage for the weekend - and I'm just so impressed with how seamless and easy it felt to use their venue. We were struck just by the beauty of the whole property. It's absolutely marvelous! We were surrounded by charming little bunnies and butterflies the whole weekend. We took advantage of the place for the whole weekend - a Friday night pizza truck party, multiple pool and hot tub hangouts, and a Sunday bagel brunch in the barn. Everybody was raving about the barn, farmhouse, and cottage. The sunset during the reception created a great atmosphere for our guests to congregate and enjoy the lawn. We felt right at home and it made our wedding so incredibly special.

il Tulipano

Cedar Grove, NJ
  • Up to 330 guests
  • All-inclusive
  • Indoor & outdoor

Our humble beginnings start with our Italian heritage. Il Tulipano began as one of the best Italian restaurants in New Jersey, celebrating the traditions of the Polimeni family. At Il Tulipano, you’re gaining more than one of the best wedding venues in New Jersey. You aren’t a faceless person with your name and check attached to a date. By focusing on only one bride at a time, we can ensure no stone is unturned, no detail forgotten, and every moment is as magical as you imagined. Not to mention, you get to benefit from our award-winning chefs, exemplary service, gorgeous grounds, and an irrefutable Italian zeal.

I simply cannot say enough in praise of il Tulipano. In July 2024 we held our wedding, and we could not have asked or prayed for better than what we were given! We first met Chef Mario in early 2023 while we were researching venues and cost. We toured approximately 8 -10 venues, and we corresponded with several venues online. But our hearts and minds could not stop thinking about il Tulipano. We were in love with Chef Mario’s passion for what he does and infectious personality. He truly is the best! Not only was the venue a great price, but we felt honored to be a part of the il Tulipano family! We couldn’t have chosen a better venue for our wedding! The setting was stunning, the food incredibly delicious, and the team went above and beyond to ensure every detail was perfect! Our guest was blown away at how beautiful everything was. Chef Mario and his staff never hesitated to provide guidance, help and support before and during our wedding. Appetizers were so good that they were mistaken for the dinner but were surpassed by the actual main entree. The dessert room was the showstopper! Staff that treated us like family–Joellen, Mike, and Sunday were unbeatable! --and the warmth of Chef Mario made all the difference in an event that shone from the top management down to everyone involved in making our day so special, memorable, and beautiful. If you’re looking for a dream venue that delivers on ambience, service, cost and a personal touch, look no further! il Tulipano is bound to impress you and your guests. The most remarkable moment in life is when you meet the person who makes you complete. Thank you, Chef Mario, and il Tulipano!!
