Q&A

  • The majority of our couples opt out of hiring a wedding planner as we offer a wedding coordinator service. While we offer overall guidance by suggesting vendors, creating timelines, and addressing general planning queries, you may still require help with tasks like booking vendors or coordinating intricate details, such as aligning floral arrangements with your invitations. If time is scarce and you prefer to have someone manage all aspects for you, hiring a planner might be the best option!

  • We take pride in providing a highly inclusive wedding package and invite you to compare it with others, as we believe in the value of our offerings. Take a look at our wedding package to see all the inclusions. We understand that reviewing venue packages can be time-consuming, which is why we offer a single comprehensive package without tiers. If you find it overwhelming, our venue specialists are ready to guide you through the inclusions either over the phone or during a tour with a coordinator.

  • We are committed to transparency with our clients. Our pricing is determined by the time of year and day of the week. Each wedding package includes the same offerings (no tiers). Our venue specialist can discuss available dates with you and provide a more accurate pricing estimate based on your preferred time of year. On average, couples spend around $40,000 at our venue, but this amount can vary. This aligns with the average cost for a wedding venue in New Jersey. We recommend comparing our package inclusions with others as we’re confident in providing an inclusive and unique wedding experience.

  • Our venue can accommodate weddings of up to 325 guests.

  • We are a four-season venue and are happy to provide a beautiful backdrop for every season & style.

  • We are situated in New Jersey's greenest county with vast preserved land, but there are numerous local accommodation options available. For wedding parties, we suggest staying at the Napa House, our Airbnb partner only 2 minutes away that can host up to 21 guests. Additionally, within a 30-minute drive, there are various hotel choices including the recently renovated Holiday Inn Express in Newton (2 miles away) or the Courtyard Marriott Mount Arlington (20 miles away).
