Mansion Wedding Venues in Northern New Jersey

We had our wedding at David's Country Inn this past weekend and there are truly no words to describe how perfect our day was. From our very first tour to the end of our wedding, the team at DCI was the absolute best. If you are looking for a venue where you can truly sit back and enjoy the day and leave it to the professionals, this is the place to book. The food was phenomenal and our guests are still raving about cocktail hour. The space is so beautiful and versatile and really speaks for itself without needing a ton of decor. A special shoutout to Brian our event director who guided us with a steady hand the whole way and to my right hand gal (aka bridal attendant) Abby for being by my side all day. The DCI team is the best of the best and we could not have had a more perfect day!

I got married here earlier this month and I wish I could re-live that day again and again! Florentine Gardens takes amazing care of you. From the moment we arrived we felt comfortable and at home. From the food before the event to the gorgeous and well-equipped bridal suite, we were set up for success. The bridal attendants deserve a special mention (shoutout to Lee) because they go ABOVE and BEYOND. I never had to worry about anything the whole day, whether it was my detached sleeves to falling down, feeling a little bit dehydrated during photos, to almost getting my train stuck under a chair every time I sat down. They were there for everything. The maitre d' runs the ceremony and reception entrances seamlessly, and he completely set my nerves at ease. The food is outstanding. My guests are still raving about the cocktail hour and Viennese dessert hour. I am SO happy I decided to get married at Florentine. There's seriously no place better.

Pleasantdale was the only venue we toured in person when looking for wedding venues. I did a lot of searching online, and most of what I found did not fit our desired style. Finding Pleasantdale and looking at their website felt like a perfect fit, and it turned out to be exactly that. We were wowed from the first time we drove up the driveway and we continued to be wowed every time we went up there, all the way up to the wedding day. Fred was the utmost professional from the moment we met him, and did an excellent job both showing off the house and venue itself, as well as explaining how they run weddings. After the meeting, Fred was so accomodating with all our follow up questions and moving dates as we dealt with existing family conflicts before we signed the contract. Almost every time I emailed him, I received a response back so fast. I always felt heard and like my tastes and wishes were being taken care of. We knew we didn't want any of our family and friends to have to deal with anything during our wedding, and Pleasantdale takes care of everything. They also fill the role of multiple vendors, taking care of catering, alcohol, linens, tables and chairs, bartenders, wait staff, and day-of coordinator. When we had our details meeting, we were under our minimum guest count and Fred was great adding in additional options for food and drink. While there isn't a food tasting, we got a sampling of everything served during happy hour right after the reception in the bridal salon, which also allowed us to decompress and take in the moment. Our attendants were so helpful throughout the day, and Brian as the maitre-de kept everything running so smoothly throughout the day. We had a smaller wedding, about 75 guests, and we never felt out of place or judged for having a smaller wedding in that venue. All of our guests raved about the food, and the after party was a blast. I could not imagine having chosen another venue. By the end, I truly felt like they were treating us like family. I had my perfect dream wedding and got my day as a princess, and it's all due to Pleasantdale.

The Rockleigh was truly the perfect venue for our wedding. The food, the ambiance, the staff- I could not have dreamed a better day. When walking in, the space is absolutely stunning without being ostentatious, which was a major concern for us, living in northern NJ. We worked with Jeff, who was responsive and helpful throughout the whole planning process and genuinely made us feel special and more importantly prepared leading up to the day. While choosing our food choices, he was completely honest about what stations would be worth the extra money and which didn’t make sense, even after my dad asked what would be the best add-on. Although most of the time they do the rehearsal day of when bride and groom are doing a first look, I requested that we do it the day before (I just couldn’t walk down the aisle in my wedding dress twice), and they accommodated our request immediately, and didn’t rush the process despite there being another event that was on a quick break. Day of, my bridal party and I arrived at 9am to begin getting ready and we were greeted with a breakfast spread that satisfied my whole bridal party, two of whom have dietary restrictions, as well as prosecco and juice, coffee, tea, and bottled water. This is where I met Sandra. She was my little guardian angel throughout the day that I didn’t know I needed! Everyone always tells you not to forget to eat while getting ready and I hate when people try to force feed me. This sweetheart gently reminded me, and said “just a little! You don’t need to eat a lot!” for both breakfast and lunch so I felt no pressure and did exactly that. A few bites so the prosecco didn’t go to my head, and not so much that I would feel bloated in my dress. She steamed my dress as well as all of my bridesmaids and mom’s/mother-in-law’s, and laid everything out neatly and beautifully for the photographer in the bridal suite. I called her my little ninja, because before I even knew anything was wrong, she fixed it! A little dirt on my dress from photos outside? She fixed it without me even knowing, despite the fact that I was wearing the dress! She was right next to me for all of it, adjusting things, in some ways protecting me, and had this little emergency kit that came in handy for one of my bridesmaids. She was truly amazing and made my day completely stress free. Brian was tasked for the men, and did the steaming, feeding, emergency kit, etc for them as well. My husband and his best man sang his praises for days after the wedding. My interaction with him was delightful and that was exactly what my husband needed before being in front of 150 people. The cocktail hour was phenomenal- two weeks later and we are still getting messages on how impressed our guests were. Sandra and Brian also sat my husband and I in a suite and provided every single dish served at the cocktail hour for about 15 minutes so that we were able to taste it all before meeting all of our guests. It was delicious and also gave us a few minutes to just enjoy our newlywed status. At dinner, we were also given all three of the entrees offered so that we could taste it all- and we were sent home with leftovers! When I say the night was magical, it truly was. The Rockleigh and their staff made it the night of our dreams!

We cannot say enough wonderful things about The Crystal Plaza. We recently had the privilege of hosting our daughter’s wedding there, and the experience exceeded even our highest expectations. There was something especially meaningful about returning to Crystal Plaza. We worked with Max’s father when we planned our own wedding there in 1999, so having Max Janoff guide us through this very special chapter of our lives made the experience that much more memorable. Max was an absolute pleasure to work with from beginning to end. His professionalism, warmth, and genuine commitment to making everything perfect never went unnoticed. The entire team deserves recognition. Talmia, Jason, our maître d’, and Isaak, whose friendly face always greeted us at the front door, made us feel welcomed, cared for, and truly at home. Every member of the staff was exceptional. From start to finish, the service was impeccable, the attention to detail was extraordinary, and the execution was flawless. Every little detail mattered, every request was met with enthusiasm, and nothing ever felt like too much to ask. One thing became very clear throughout the planning process: the word “no” simply doesn’t exist at Crystal Plaza. If you can dream it, they can make it happen. As parents, there is nothing more special than watching your daughter have the wedding of her dreams. Crystal Plaza helped make that possible, and gave our family memories we will cherish forever. To Max and the entire Crystal Plaza team, thank you for making Lexi and Hunter’s wedding everything we dreamed it would be and more. We are forever grateful and will always hold a special place in our hearts for Crystal Plaza. If you are considering Crystal Plaza for your wedding, look no further. You will be in the very best hands.

We had our ceremony, cocktail hour and reception at Birchwood. From the first day we met with Farrell to the actual wedding day the planning was so smooth. Farrell is so professional and knowledgeable and clearly loves the job she does. The venue itself was spotless. It is stunningly beautiful to the point where I didn't have to worry much about decorations or spend big money on centerpieces. Small subtle decor along with the beauty of the Birchwood made for a stunning wedding day. The food was beyond amazing. We did not want a sit down formal dinner so Farrell helped us create a cocktail hour type situation with various carving stations and food perfectly placed around the room. There were so many options for everyone, even those with special diets. They were able to accommodate everyone and their needs.

One of the highlights of our experience with Old Tappan Manor is their exceptional service during every step of the way, especially during the wedding event itself. The staff, Rich, Victor, Lauren, Natalia, and even the owner Joe, were really attentive and sincere. They were well prepared and also were prepared for any emergencies (glue, stain remover). They rushed to fulfil any request we had. They took care of everything to help us set up for the event. They were willing to open the venue early for us to get ready. We were fortunate to have both the ceremony and reception there and they made our experience completely seamless. Thank you for everything! ~Peter and Jena

We had our wedding at the Mansion in September 2026. From the very beginning, the staff was warm and welcoming. They all were willing to answer any questions throughout the entire process in the timeliest manner. Our guests continue to speak about the food and hospitality they were met with all night long. Every moment of our wedding day ran smoothly from ceremony to reception. We can not recommend The Mansion enough!

The outdoor setting with the gazebo, surrounded by some beautiful trees and along the river made for a gorgeous wedding ceremony setting. They also have a large outdoor tent along the river incase of rain which is also very attractive. Mama’s restaurant also caters to all special diets so it was a perfect choice for our Vegan/Vegetarian requested menu. The staff were very attentive and gave my daughter lots of helpful suggestions during the planning process. The day from start to finish was Wonderful and the indoor venue space was perfect for our wedding of 60 people. The bride & groom enjoyed having their own private rooms to relax in with their family prior to the start of the wedding. Everything was just lovely!!! Thanks to all of the staff at Bello Giorno.

Choosing The Royal Manor was the best decision we made for our wedding! From the very start, the planning staff was incredibly patient and friendly during the entire process, answering every question and keeping us at ease. On the actual wedding day, the crew was nothing short of amazing. Wojtek, the twins, and the maitre’d (forgot his name) were spectacularly attentive, professional, and made sure our day went completely smoothly without a single hitch. Weeks later, everyone is still talking about how great the food tasted and the massive amount of food given during cocktail hour. We cannot recommend The Royal Manor enough! Wojtek brought out our vision at cocktail hour with Mexican station/tequila and took time out of his day to send of photos of a specific entree for the main course.
