History

Before the clubhouse was erected, the land was named Valhalla by the First Nations. In the ancient Norsemen language, the name translates to the “dwelling place of the Gods.” Later in the 1930s, the stunning house was built on the divine land with the supervision of the head architect, Mr. Francis G. Hasselman. To preserve the prestige of the community, no building was permitted to cost less than 5,000 dollars, a dear sum for its time. No expense was spared while developing the Lake Valhalla Club, and once it opened its doors it entertained the likes of many families. The house provided a hub for guests to enjoy outdoor activities such as tennis, fishing, boating, skating, and socializing with like-minded people.

We recently had the pleasure of hosting our wedding at Lake Valhalla, and we cannot express how thrilled we are with the entire experience. The venue is absolutely stunning. The picturesque surroundings create an enchanting atmosphere that is simply breathtaking. Our guests were in awe of the beauty and charm that the venue exuded. The staff were exceptional. From the initial planning stages to the day of the event, they were professional, attentive, and went above and beyond to ensure that every aspect of our wedding was flawless. The wedding coordinator, Daniel, is a true gem. His expertise and experience were evident as he guided us through the planning process, offering valuable insights and suggestions, and their attention to detail ensured that every element of the day was executed seamlessly. Overall, our wedding at Lake Valhalla was a dream come true. The venue's beauty, the exceptional staff, and the attention to detail made it an unforgettable experience for us and our guests.

I'd choose LVC again 1,000 times

Our wedding day was perfect. Daniel thought of every single detail and executed everything seamlessly. From making sure our cocktail hour was outside (despite potential rain) because it was important to us, to making sure we had enough to eat and drink, to organizing the bridal party/family for intros, speeches, and dances. Multiple people told us it was the best organized wedding they'd ever been to. The venue itself is gorgeous and photos do it no justice. The food is great and the drinks are well made. Coleen was amazing to work with leading up to the wedding-fast and smooth communication every time we reached out. We are so grateful we found this hidden gem and would choose it again every time.

Korpon Wedding 8/19/23

My husband and I had our dream wedding at Lake Valhalla Club on August 19, 2023. This venue went above and beyond for us.

We could not have asked for a more attentive, caring, efficient and experienced maitre'd than Daniel Rodas. Daniel made sure everything ran on schedule, calmed our concerns and thought of every detail! After our photos he made sure we had time alone in the bridal room to eat and relax with all our favorite foods and drinks. We are still talking about what an amazing job Daniel did. He took all the pressure off and we did not worry about anything. He personally took care of anything we needed. Lake Valhalla Club was beautiful and the service for our wedding was out of this world. It was the PERFECT day and this venue is absolutely incredible. I wish I could give more than five stars!

Dream Wedding

We recently had our wedding at Lake Valhalla Club in Montville, NJ on 10/15/22. We had booked our event over a year and a half ago, so we had a long time to plan for the day. Something that was so awesome about having a wedding there was the complimentary, temporary membership provided. This courtesy allowed us ample time to visit the club for dinner and attend other special events. We became very comfortable with the venue and were always treated with hospitality and respect. Leading up to the event, there was a new Director of Sales hired, Coleen who stepped into her role with ease and was so supportive. She was always available by phone or email to answer any questions and help guide the planning process. The Assistant Banquet Director, Michael was also very supportive and always warm and attentive when we would visit the venue. Just a couple of weeks before our wedding, a new Banquet Director, Daniel was hired. We were very anxious about working with someone new, wondering if he would be able to step in so quickly and manage a successful event. Having over 25 years of experience, Daniel engaged with us with thoughtfulness and enthusiasm. His meticulous and organized nature guided our timeline for the day and brought our dream wedding to life. He attended to us throughout the day, making sure we were well-nurtured and nourished, and ensured that everything ran smoothly. So many of our friends and family members commented about the amazing venue and awesome food. I must also mention the beautiful grounds at Lake Valhalla Club. The lakeside arch and picturesque landscape provided a peaceful, breathtaking canvas for our wedding ceremony and photos. We feel very blessed to have celebrated our most special day at Lake Valhalla Club.

October 8th 2021 wedding

Wow!!!! This place was everything we wanted and more . From the beginning Kristine helped us with any questions and concerns (which was a lot lol) with speedy responses up to the day of the wedding . As for the day of Claudio and Michael made us feel like royalty! The girls and I got there at 11 am to get ready and they got us anything we needed while getting ready. The ceremony and reception was everything we dreamed of and more ! The lake side ceremony and rustic lodge reception was our style! Everyone couldn’t stop talking about the views of the lake and surroundings. All night Claudio and Michael were by our sides if we needed anything at all ! It was the perfect day ❤️

A Hidden Gem in NJ!

If you are looking for a unique, intimate, and lakefront venue for your wedding, look no further than Lake Valhalla Club. The building and grounds are beautiful and well taken care of. There is an old world charm to all of the little details that make this place feel special. The view of the lake is breathtaking from the reception room and ceremony space outside. The food is absolutely the best I’ve ever had at a wedding or banquet type affair. It’s magical that they are able to provide restaurant quality food at that quantity! Kristine and Claudio were both so easy to work with. Kristine is quick to respond and answer every question. And Claudio can run a wedding in his sleep! My guests were blown away by this venue and I couldn’t have imagined our wedding anywhere else!

Dream Wedding Venue with Exceptional Staff!

Wow - what an amazing experience working with the staff and crew at Lake Valhalla, especially during a pandemic. The venue is absolutely beautiful, and the business/operations manager Kristine Howar made the entire process so easy and personable. Absolutely no drama or hiccups on our actual wedding day, and our guests still can't stop talking about attending the "best party ever." Huge shout-out to the awesome bartenders who were able to keep-up with our rather rambunctious group. And working with the Maitre' D Claudio was an absolute pleasure - he truly made me feel like the luckiest bride. We can't wait to go back to Lake Valhalla to celebrate all future anniversaries.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
