If you’re looking for your non traditional ballroom type and want a modernized farmhouse type vibe. This is it! The whole team has been amazing during the whole process. Communication was great! This place is amazing with so many options for pictures and mostly private.

My husband and I planned a last minute wedding at the Highlawn. We cancelled our wedding many times in the past due to covid and decided to try once more at the Highlawn. Planning a wedding in 4 weeks generally isn’t easy, but the whole team was all hands on deck. We were in contact with all of the members constantly, they recognized concerns and addressed immediately. We ended up having the most beautiful wedding and are very grateful for this amazing experience. The venue looks gorgeous, the food was unreal, and the views were breathtaking. It was perfect.

Our wedding at the manor was truly a dream fairytale come to life. From the moment we arrived, every detail was absolutely beautiful and exceeded all of our expectations. The staff was incredibly attentive, kind, and genuinely cared about making our day perfect. They made us feel so welcomed and taken care of throughout the entire celebration!

Brielle and the entire Meadow Wood team went above and beyond for our wedding day. In the months leading up to the event, Brielle was always quick to answer every question we had and made sure we had the correct information to plan everything confidently and stress-free. Every usher we worked with on the day of was incredible — attentive, kind, and always one step ahead of anything we or our families needed. The staff was warm and professional, the food was outstanding, and our guests are still raving about the desserts! They also went out of their way to accommodate us and ensure we received full value during our time at The Meadow Wood. We couldn’t be happier with our experience, and we highly recommend The Meadow Wood team to anyone planning a wedding!!!

From the moment we booked, the entire team made us feel like we were in the best hands. Planning a wedding comes with countless questions, and Steve was incredibly responsive, patient, and helpful throughout the entire process. Every email was answered thoughtfully and quickly, which made planning so much less stressful and gave us complete confidence leading up to our wedding day. On the day itself, Vicky exceeded every expectation we had. She took everything we discussed during our final meeting and brought it to life flawlessly. Every detail was handled, and every transition was seamless. We never had to worry about a thing because the team was always one step ahead. A special thank you as well to Myriam and John, who were attentive, professional, and genuinely caring throughout the entire evening. They anticipated our needs before we even had to ask and made us feel so well taken care of. The food was phenomenal, the service was exceptional, and the overall experience was beyond anything we could have imagined. Weeks later, our friends and family are still reaching out to tell us how beautiful everything was, how amazing the food was, and how much fun they had. Our wedding day was absolutely perfect, and Nanina's played a huge role in making it that way. We only wish we could do it all over again. Until then, we'll be recommending Nanina's to every engaged couple we know.

We can’t stress enough how amazing and professional the entire staff were to us especially Chris, he listened and thoroughly went through all our options and had detailed answers for all the questions that we had. My wife and I are very grateful for an amazing experience and thank ILL Villaggio for making this such an amazing and all around fantastic wedding.

If I could give Bear Brook Valley more than 5 stars, I would. There truly are not enough words to describe how incredible our wedding day was. From the moment we first toured Bear Brook to the moment our wedding ended, we felt so genuinely cared for. If this is how far you will read, book Bear Brook. No dream is too big. For Mr.Met, they coordinated everything and made sure our guests were SO surprised. For our traditional Chinese tea ceremony, they bought special cups to match our tea pot. For our butterfly release, they supported every second of it. Rebecca was an absolute DREAM. Every detail was handled, every question was answered, and she was always one step ahead. Our bridal and groomsmen’s attendants were equally incredible. We also have to give a huge shoutout to Perry, the owner. You can tell how much he genuinely cares about Bear Brook and every couple who gets married there. The property is breathtaking, the food was incredible, everything ran seamlessly, and our guests are STILL telling us it was one of the best weddings they have ever attended. Rebecca, Perry, our amazing attendants, and the entire Bear Brook Valley team: thank you for giving us our own little royal wedding and the best day of our lives. Bear Brook will forever hold such a special place in our hearts. 🤍 The Lams 06.07.2026

We had an absolute blast at Rock Island. The coordinators & staff were extremely professional and on top of every single thing. I was so nervous beforehand but they were able to keep me laughing and relaxed the entire day. Our guest raved about the location, food, and ambiance. I would highly recommend this venue to anyone!

Maritime Parc was truly one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! From the very beginning, every single person we worked with made the entire planning process feel so easy, warm, and exciting. Starting with Priscilla, who gave us that first reassurance that Maritime Parc was the place for us! She was so much fun, genuinely excited for us, and made us feel comfortable right away. Alexis was also was great in helping us coordinate all the details and clearly explaining how everything would flow on the wedding day so we would be prepared! The entire team was AMAZING. Marc and the Maitre D’s were always so composed, warm, and professional. When I dropped off some of our décor ahead of the wedding, Marc was so calm and reassuring about everything. During that final week when there are a million little things running through your mind, it meant SO much to feel like we could hand everything over and know we were in good hands. And my bridal attendant was absolutely AMAZING. She constantly checked in on me throughout the night, made sure I had food and drinks, and was always there whenever I needed anything. She made me feel like a princess on my wedding day! What impressed us most about Maritime Parc was how incredibly experienced and professional the entire team is. I planned most of our wedding myself, so knowing that once the day arrived, we were in the hands of people who truly know what they’re doing relieved so much stress. It felt like no unexpected event could disrupt the day because they’ve seen it all and know exactly how to handle everything. Our wedding day felt seamless, and we were actually able to relax, be present, and enjoy it. We are SO grateful to the entire Maritime Parc team for making our wedding day so special. We could not recommend them more! 🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍

Our wedding at the Tides Estate during August 2025 was amazing, even more so, given Paterson suffered a major water main break, depriving The Tides of water. Somehow the staff overcame the problem and not a single guest was inconvenienced. From the garden ceremony to the outdoor patio, everyone enjoyed the venue, the food and the staff. The cocktail hour bowled over those who thought they were done, only to find more awaited them during the dinner hour. The maitre' d and staff kept the party moving and the dance floor stayed packed until the later hour shut us down. Michael and the entire staff are to be congratulated for making my bride's dream come true.
