Amazing Wedding, Amazing Party
We recently had our wedding here, and it was absolutely perfect! The food was delicious, and every staff member went above and beyond to make sure the day ran smoothly. A huge shoutout to the manager, Rachel, who was incredibly helpful and with us throughout the entire process—she truly made everything feel effortless.
Although it rained and we couldn’t have our ceremony outdoors as planned, the indoor space was so warm and cozy that it ended up feeling just right. As the bride, I barely had to worry about a thing, which made the whole experience even more special.
One unexpected highlight was the pool being open for our guests during the weekend—it wasn’t something we originally planned around, but it ended up being such a fun bonus! The venue itself is so naturally beautiful that we didn’t need to do much decorating at all.
The bridal suite for the bridesmaids to get ready in and the room set up for the groomsmen gave us the perfect space to relax and enjoy the moments leading up to the ceremony. Overall, we couldn’t have asked for a better place to celebrate. Highly recommend!

Seamless Wedding Experience at Molly Pitcher
Molly Pitcher was the perfect venue for our wedding! From beginning to end, the entire process was seamless thanks to their exceptional team. Lauren Murtagh, was incredibly helpful throughout the planning process—always responsive, organized, and a pleasure to work with. On the day of, our maître d’, Cristian, ensured everything ran smoothly with attention to every detail. He was accommodating, professional, and made us feel completely at ease. Our ceremony on the patio was beautifully decorated just as we envisioned, and every detail throughout the day was executed flawlessly. The staff carefully set up all of our décor and handled takedown at the end of the night, allowing us to fully enjoy the celebration. The food was absolutely delicious—our guests are still talking about the meal and signature cocktails! The ballroom’s warm ambiance and the stunning views of the Navesink River made the day feel truly magical. Our overnight stay was incredibly comfortable, and we were even surprised with a bottle of champagne, leftovers, and dessert to enjoy afterward. Molly Pitcher went above and beyond, and we wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone planning a wedding.

Get married here !!
The Molly Pitcher Inn is an absolute gem for weddings. The ballroom is classic and gorgeous and the outdoor pavilion overlooking the navesink is truly stunning.
From start to finish, the MP was a pleasure to work with. We worked with Lauren who was the absolute best! Lauren answered every single question I had and helped me figure out a menu, for me, a celiac bride. Every guest raved about the allergy accommodations from people who were gluten free to dairy free and vegan. Overall, the guests could not stop talking about how good the food was.
Christian was our Maitre D the day of the wedding and wow he is fantastic. He was a calm force and was on top of every little detail. I could not imagine the day going more smoothly. Anne, our bridal attendant, was equally amazing.
All of our guests enjoyed the hotel accommodations and the ease of it all. Overall it was a truly stunning wedding they put on and an amazing experience working with them. Would recommend them to anyone getting married in a heartbeat.

Over the top Amazing!!!!
I cannot say enough about how amazing our wedding was! Our MatreD ,Paul, was outstanding!!! Attentive to me the entire day from 9:00am until 12 midnight! The venue was just perfect overlooking the Navasink River. The ourdoor patio where we had our wedding ceremony was picturesque! The cocktail hour was half outside and half inside with two bars. All of our guests were raving about the coctail hour, reception food and Venetian hour! The Molly Pitcher's presentation is jaw dropping gorgeous! My guests are still talking about our wedding 2 weeks later, saying it was the best wedding they have ever been to! I stayed 2 nights in the hotel which made it so easy to get ready in the room and go right down for pictures! The whole day was beyond words a "Dream Come True"!!!!

Most magical experience
When looking for a wedding venue I probably attended every tour for the top 50 best wedding venues in NJ. After our initial tour we knew we wanted the MP to be our wedding venue, the customer service from day one was by far 10/10 experience. As a COVID bride all my fears and anxiety were amounting; do we have a wedding, if we do how can it be safe, what precautions need to be taken? After endless emails, phone calls, zoom chats, and text messages the team at MP: Rainey, Jamie & Cristian (to mention a few) always reassured us they would be willing to do WHATEVER it took for us to have a dream wedding and they did. They paid attention to every detail possible that I requested and then some with their experience and suggestions they made my wedding a truly amazing. From the food to the cocktails, to set up/turn down, to making sure everything flowed smoothly and on time, MP checked every box. I would refer them 100x over, if I could do my wedding again I wouldn't change a single thing. Not only did we as bride and groom have no compliants about our big day, not a single wedding guest or family member did either. Still to this day we get compliments how it was the "best food I've ever had" and "your wedding was perfect". And it was, forever thankful and grateful for the MP patience and generosity throughout the process.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
