Brooklake was everything we could have hoped for and more! The venue itself is absolutely stunning—beautiful grounds, elegant interiors, and the perfect backdrop for our special day. Many of our friends and family who live in New Jersey and had never been to Brooklake before were completely blown away by how gorgeous it was. What truly made our experience unforgettable, though, was the exceptional service—especially from Peter, the director. Peter went above and beyond to ensure every detail was perfect. He answered every phone call and email with care and attention, and his dedication to making our vision come to life was unmatched. He even personally helped my mom when she got glass in her foot on the night of the wedding! Peter’s team was just as amazing. Every staff member was professional, warm, and attentive. They made the entire day flow seamlessly, from setup to last call. Their coordination, friendliness, and attention to detail truly made us feel taken care of at every moment. We are beyond happy with our decision to have our wedding at Brooklake. The combination of the stunning venue, Peter’s leadership, and the incredible staff made it the best day of our lives. We cannot recommend them enough!

Absolutely amazing venue and team!
We just had our wedding in late October at Brooklake, and it was absolutely perfect! From the moment we visited, we were blown away by the stunning outdoor ceremony space, surrounded by picturesque lake and trees. We knew it would be a perfect wedding venue!
Peter, the venue director, was incredible throughout the entire process. He worked with us on every detail, offering helpful guidance and patience every step of the way. On the wedding day itself, Mitchell, the bridal attendant, went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly. She was constantly checking in on us and coordinating with the team, making sure we were well taken care of.
The entire staff at Brooklake worked seamlessly together to help us on our big day. The reception and cocktail hour spaces were beautifully decorated, and we couldn't have asked for a more perfect setting.
We had an unforgettable wedding, and we can't recommend the Brooklake team highly enough. Thank you for making our day so special!
Brooklake's reply:
Thank you Koey, for such a lovely review. We really do work together to give you the most memorable night! Thank you again for selecting Brooklake. Wishing you and Lawrence all the best! -the team at Brooklake

Brooklake Country Club: 10000/10!!!
This was the first venue my husband and I visited, and we knew we were sold. Peter, the director of catering is incredible. His attention to detail is unmatched and made the wedding planning process so much easier for us. The bridal attendant, Michelle, was an angel and helped me all throughout the day. She knew what I wanted even before I knew it. She made sure that my husband and I were able to eat the cocktail hour food in our private area before the party started, and she made sure that our entrees came out fresh since we were busy talking with guests. She saved the cake for us until the end of the night when we finally had time to eat it! The food for the cocktail hour and dinner was spectacular, and got glowing reviews from so many of our guests that I spoke with. It was so convenient how they have two bars in the ballroom, one in the cocktail hour room, and one on the outside patio, which was perfect for our guests who barely had to wait in line to get drinks. The venue itself is beautiful and spacious, with a gorgeous view of the golf course and lake. Brooklake Country Club is a hidden gem, and I cannot recommend this venue enough!
Brooklake's reply:
Thank you Lauren! What a lovely review! We are thrilled to have made such wonderful memories for you and Bobby! All the best in your new life together! - the team at Brooklake

The Perfect Wedding Venue!
My husband and I just got married at Brooklake Country Club in June and it was the best choice. We met with Peter, the Director of Catering, throughout the entire planning process and he ensured every detail was attended to with care and precision. We could not rave about Peter enough! The venue overall was beautiful, especially the outdoor ceremony space. The staff was attentive and courteous to all our guests during the entire wedding – even the after party! Our guests raved about the cocktail hour and reception dinner as well. We would highly recommend choosing Brooklake Country Club to any couple looking for a great wedding venue!
Brooklake's reply:
Thank you Alexandra! We always love to hear how guests are so enthusiastic about our cocktail hours! It truly is the best. Your wedding was beautiful and Brooklake was so honored to be a part of it. All the best to you and Mark! -the team at Brooklake

Perfect Wedding!
I am beyond satisfied with my wedding experience with Brooklake Country Club. We worked with Wendy and for 18 months, she guided us with her expertise and professionalism every step of the way. I could always rely on her to get back to us right away and do whatever was necessary to make our day memorable. The venue only hosts one event at a time, so on the day of your event, the entire staff is working tirelessly to make YOUR day run as smoothly as possible.
On the day of my wedding, I did not have to worry about a thing. My bridal attendant, Michelle, was absolutely phenomenal. From morning until night, she was there to make my experience so much easier so that I could truly enjoy every minute of the experience. Along with Wendy, our Maitre D Natalia kept the day running without a misstep. My parents raved about the level of service they received at their table, and all my guests complimented me on the quality of food served. The venue has breathtaking views that are perfect for pictures and can be enjoyed from anywhere on the grounds.
I would absolutely recommend this venue for anyone looking to host a wedding or event there. Not only is it beautiful, but the staff are caring and efficient as well. They made our day a dream come true!

10 stars for Brooklake!!!!
We had our daughter’s wedding ceremony and reception at Brooklake Country Club on July 6, 2024 and it was nothing less than a glorious experience.
(I am the father of the bride).
Right from the start working with Peter, the Event Director, to plan and execute the event was a great pleasure. He was courteous, kind, patient and highly professional throughout the year of planning, always available for questions, always replying to phone messages, diligent in guiding us through the rehearsal and ever present on the day of the event as he watched over the staff and guests to ensure a perfect experience for all. By the date of the wedding he had become our good friend and we hope we can work with him again one day.
The venue was wonderfully appointed, and very photogenic with fine interior design and wonderful vistas out the windows and beyond the patio where we had the ceremony. The grounds, lawns, pathways and trees created splendid opportunities for artful and emotive photography.
The patio was excellent for a bright and sunny ceremony, with our daughter, the bride dazzling and glorious as she came down the aisle.
Brooklake has a great team of experienced staff who were able to neatly and quickly arrange the seating (according to our plans) in just an hour, after morning thunderstorms cleared out. Those who served food and those who cleaned up worked with great efficiency, precision and courtesy.
As far as food was concerned, the selection of options for appetizers before the reception was very large. Everything was fresh and well laid out. Guests had more than enough to eat.
The main course was also great quality. All our guests enjoyed the food and gave positive feedback.
The reception room was bright and luminous with lots of light coming through the large windows which faced the golf course, the lake, the fountain and the beautiful sky. The acoustics were excellent for our DJ and the dance floor just perfect.
The maitre d’, Andreas, was very vigilant and diligent in making sure that we stayed on schedule. Although we ran into a few last minute complications with seating he was able to discretely and politely make adjustments without creating a stir. He frequently and courteously checked in with us throughout the day. He was most definitely a pleasure to work with!
The bridal attendant, Jennifer, was very helpful, very attentive, and very polite as she willingly fulfilled all of our requests and instructions. She had a very gentle and sweet spirit. After the event she shared kind words and appreciation to our daughter.
It is apparent to us that Brooklake hires and trains only the highest quality staff on all levels.
All the feedback from our friends and family was that this was a beautiful and pleasant event. Some said it was the best wedding they had ever attended.
Wish we could give Brooklake 10 stars!!!
Brooklake's reply:
Thank you Norman, for this glowing review! We take great pride in our spectacular view and I'm sure your photos will be as impressive! And thank you for commenting on how attentive our staff is. It's our job to make you feel like a guest so you can enjoy the day and not worry about anything. All the best to Rachael and Elijah! -the team at Brooklake

Best & most beautiful venue in NJ!
Brooklake is truly a dream venue! From the moment we stepped inside to tour, my husband and I knew this was our venue. The decor & atmosphere is 10/10. The staff is amazing, we worked with Wendy who helped us plan, she was awesome and made our day a dream come true. The rest of the staff as well, were so kind and a pleasure to work with. I cant say enough good things about Brooklake! Everything about this place is just awesome. The food is sooooo good, we continue to get compliments weeks after our wedding. We love this venue & I cannot recommend it enough! Thank you for helping make our big day the best day of our lives!

The Most Amazing Wedding Day!
Brooklake Country Club was the very first venue my husband and I looked at, and we both fell in love with it right away! It is absolutely stunning both inside and outside. We were quick to book it for our wedding. Throughout the process, we worked with Peter and couldn't have been more impressed with him. He was very responsive to emails, answered any questions we had, and was always very kind. He is truly amazing at his job. Our wedding day was October 28th, where we had perfect weather. We were able to have the ceremony outside with a beautiful sunset in the background. Throughout the day, the entire staff at Brooklake was so professional and worked to give my husband and I everything we wanted. My bridal attendant Michelle was great! She was so sweet and helped me with my dress all day! Natalia, the Maitre D was also great to work with and helped everything run smoothly. The food at Brooklake is phenomenal. Everyone was raving about cocktail hour. A favorite station was the BBQ station where they served pulled pork and brisket. So many of our guests told us our wedding was one of the best they have ever been to. My husband and I now hope to be guests at another Brooklake wedding in the future. Thank you Brooklake for making our dreams come true! I highly recommend Brooklake Country Club as a wedding venue!
Brooklake's reply:
Thank you Tara! It was our pleasure to host your wedding! And you really did have a perfect fall day. Thank you for the compliments to our staff, we'll be sure to tell them! The BBQ smokehouse is one of our most popular stations -so glad you loved it. All the best to you and Steve in your next chapter! -the team at Brooklake

The best cocktail hour your guests will ever attend
There is no match for Brooklake. The venue, the service, the FOOD! You will never find a better cocktail hour than the one they put on here. The space is beautiful on it's own and does not require extra decor to feel special. Every person that works at Brooklake is a professional, even with a large wedding of 228 guests - they are the experts at making sure everything goes perfectly.
Peter worked with us through the entire planning process and made everything stress-free. With his many years of experience, we trusted every suggestion he made.
Special shout out to my bridal attendant during the day, Michelle, who was absolutely amazing. She handled every request with such grace that I felt no stress during the event. One of my favorite moments from the day was after our ceremony when we had a plate from every single cocktail station placed before us and were left alone for 30 minutes to eat. The privacy we had in that moment (with everything set up for us) was service like we had never experienced before. It was only later that I realized this special moment was all due to Michelle.
Thank you Brooklake for the best day of our lives.

The most amazing experience in the world
This was the venue of our dreams and I was so happy that we found them. Wendy has been working with us since the beginning and I am NOT exaggerating when I say that every venue-related detail was completely stress free. Wendy always knew exactly when to email to get certain details or balls rolling and when the time came to discuss final details and taste testings, everything was so smooth and lovely. I LOVE that they allow you to schedule a time a few days earlier than your event to drop off wedding decorations as that saved us LOADS of car space and stress. I cannot get over how well they handled our first look and how professional the entire team was. The bridal attendant, Michelle, is an absolute angel and is literally the reason I felt so stress-free that day. She always fluffed my dress, brought us water and food, and made sure we were exactly where we needed to be when we needed to be there. I always hear about people not really getting to eat at their own weddings and I can totally see how that could happen but because of Michelle, we got almost EVERY item at cocktail hour and an entire dinner with dessert. What??? Wendy and Michelle, we will never forget you, lol. I hope that's not weird but seriously, everything went so smooth and you both ROCK at your jobs. The team at Brooklake ROCKS at their jobs. You're a great group. Not to mention that the venue itself is beautiful, clean, accessible, and serves AMAZING food. From the bottom of our hearts, we cannot thank this team enough.
Brooklake's reply:
Thank you for the wonderful compliments! It was our pleasure to take such good care of you and Zach. Your wedding was one-of-a kind and we're still talking about it! We wish you both the best in your new life together! Share your photos with us and please stay in touch! All the best! -the team at Brooklake

Unforgettable night !!!
This may be a lengthy review but if you are looking for a classic , stunning and extremely professional venue-Look no further!
Brooklake Country Club has a gorgeous aesthetic. The moment that my husband and I walked in, we knew that this venue was “The One”. The lobby is breathtaking, it was very bright and welcoming. (First impressions are very important!)
The cocktail hour space was beautiful and the reception area/ballroom was incredible. Seriously, if you don’t believe me please go in and take a look for yourself!
Ladies, the bridal suite is AMAZING-literally gorgeous and perfect to get ready in and for photos.
Now for the incredible staff! I just want to say thank you to Peter and Carol!!! They were very patient with all of my phone calls & emails. Wedding Planning can be extremely stressful but these two amazing individuals put me at ease! Peter was so accommodating and truly took care of of from the moment we step foot into Brooklake. He was there every step of the way. He is very thorough and to the point! Trust me they know what they are doing. Initially I thought I needed a wedding planner but with Carol and Peter I was able to handle this project with the help of these two!
My guest were raving about the beauty of the venue and also the delicious food! I mean seriously no complaints. There are two things that people remember from weddings; it’s the appearance or the venue and the food.
I am still getting calls about how incredible my wedding was!
Everything was so organized that the day ran seamlessly.
My Bridal attendant , Michelle , was so sweet!
She made sure I had everything I needed and guided me throughout the day. Also, she saved the day with my wedding bustle.
I can go on & on !
10000000000000x recommend this venue!
I’m now hoping to do other future events here.
Will update , once we get our professional photos , because the cellphone photos don’t do this venue justice !
We will be back!

Stop your search! - Brooklake Country Club is the perfect venue for your wedding day!
If you're in search of a breathtaking wedding venue with a team of professionals who will go above and beyond to make your special day perfect, look no further than Brooklake Country Club. We had the pleasure of working primarily with the Catering Manager, Wendy who made us feel like family. She was incredibly communicative, helpful, and an excellent planning resource. Wendy was always available to answer questions and provide guidance throughout the planning process. We also worked with the Director of Catering, Peter who provided additional guidance based on his many years of experience at Brooklake. Wendy and Peter are the dynamic duo that you want on your side!
On the day of the wedding, everything was flawless. Our guests were in awe of the stunning venue, the drinks were flowing, and the cocktail hour and dinner food were exquisite. Every detail was taken care of and nothing was left to chance. The guests were raving about the venue, the food, and the service, and we couldn't be happier with the outcome.
Brooklake Country Club exceeded our expectations in every way, and we highly recommend it to anyone planning a wedding or event. Wendy and Peter will take care of everything, and you'll be able to relax and enjoy your special day knowing that everything is in good hands. Thank you, Brooklake Country Club, for making our wedding day unforgettable!
Brooklake's reply:
Thank you Max for a wonderful review! Working with you, Nikki and your families was truly a pleasure. We loved getting to know everyone over the course of planning. We love when we exceed expectations! And you were as detailed as we were, so we were great partners in planning! Thank you for sharing your photos with us. Wishing you and Nikki a lifetime of happiness and we were so honored to be part of your new life together. Come and visit when you're back to visit NJ. - the team at Brooklake

The most incredible venue
There aren’t enough positive things I can say about Booklake. This was the best decision we could have possibly made when planning our wedding. The space itself is absolutely beautiful and the views are breathtaking. We had to move our planned outdoor ceremony inside due to cold weather and strong winds, but we still had the same beautiful background as if we were outside thanks to the grand windows in the ballroom. Communication was always on point, and Wendy, who I worked with the most, was an absolute pleasure. She was so professional and knowledgeable and just an incredibly kind and caring person. The venue is such a well-oiled machine that, me being a novice and admittedly somewhat clueless bride, everything went so smoothly and I didn’t have to worry about anything because Wendy, Peter and the rest of the staff at Brooklake knew exactly what to do and when to do it. They helped guide me through the day and took everything I requested to heart. My now husband and I opted for the more traditional route and did not do a first look and they were amazing at making sure we did not bump into each other even with my random timing of wanting to take pictures before the ceremony. The food was amazing. I feel oftentimes at weddings venues/caterers either provide quality or quantity, but not always both. Brooklake had both and I’ve never heard so many compliments about the food at a wedding. The amount of delicious food we received was incredible for the price we payed, and while Brooklake does have minimum guest counts they are more than happy to provide upgrades for the food if the minimum is not met which was our case. We were able to upgrade to a seafood raw bar and have a suckling pig in our cocktail hour, and we also received churros as a to-go station at the end of the night. When I say the day was absolutely flawless and perfect I mean it, and it is Brooklake Country Club to thank. There is zero hesitation from me, if someone needs a venue recommendation Brooklake will always be the first place I recommend.
Brooklake's reply:
Thank you Amanda! We can't say enough kind things about you either! We were thrilled to be a part of your new journey and putting you at ease planning such an important milestone. Please stay in touch and of course come visit when you're in town! All the best to you and Carlos! -the team at Brooklake

Perfect Day
When my fiance and I first entered Brooklake, we knew it was exactly the venue we imagined for our wedding, and were overjoyed they had an October 2022 date available for us. While we had no doubt our wedding would be amazing (gorgeous views, delicious food, friendly and professional staff), the Brooklake team truly exceeded our expectations. I cannot say enough good things about the day (and our guests can't stop talking about it either), but I want to specially thank their Catering Director Peter, Maitre D Natalia, and my Bridal Attendant Michelle for making the day especially wonderful and stress-free. Thank you to the Brooklake team for our most perfect wedding.

A Dream Come True!!
The word that comes to mind is MAGICAL! We loved everything about Brooklake Country Club!! When we started our wedding planning process about a year ago, we had looked at several venues. However, the moment we walked into Brooklake, our eyes lit up and we knew that this was the one. Everything about it was amazing - the staff was fantastic, the food was delicious and the view was absolutely breathtaking! If we could redo our wedding, we would choose Brooklake over and over again!

Thank you Nicole! It was our pleasure getting to know you and Robert over the last year. You guys danced the whole night! It was a beautiful night all around. All the best in your newly married life! Stay in touch -the team at Brooklake

Gorgeous Wedding 8/6/22
The service and communication leading up to my daughter’s wedding was unbelievable. The venue is fresh and updated with a gorgeous paver patio terrace. There is a perfect view for the sunset over a large lake and golf course. The food was delicious, bartender /waiter service outstanding. Beautiful and fun lighting in the ballroom.. a large dance floor added to the mood of the reception.Our guests have been raving about this place. Wendy and Peter who coordinate the entire wedding are true gems in this business. We felt that our experience was a 5/5 and that our kids and our family and friends had the time of their lives, and a true dream wedding.
Brooklake's reply:
Thank you Joi! It was a true pleasure planning with you as well! We're so glad Jami & Michael were over the moon! All the best to your family and please share your photos with us! -the team at Brooklake

Professional & A Well Oiled Machine!
The biggest “Thank You” to Peter Mitsaelides, Director of Catering at our Wedding Venue, The Brooklake Country Club in Florham Park, NJ, who produced our Perfect Wedding!
During the several months of intricate planning, Peter’s frequent saying was, “Whatever you want, I will make it happen!” So, we always knew, we were in very good hands. He never said No, that’s impossible to us to any request and saw that our vision and wishes were carried out perfectly.
Our guests have not stopped raving about the wonderful food, but also the incredible service, attentive, friendly staff and attention to detail that served everyone’s needs.
In the end, we come away with many wonderful memories, a professional association, friendship and thrilled to be part of The Brooklake Wedding Family!
Brooklake was the perfect place for our wedding. What first drew us in were the beautiful grounds and indoor areas. The cocktail and reception areas are beautiful. Our guests loved the food and hospitality. All the servers and bar tenders were so nice! I wish we could relive our wedding all over again.

Best venue ever!
There was never a doubt in my mind that I needed to have my wedding at Brooklake Country Club. Peter was unbelievable to work with from day one till the end of our wedding night. Peter was the one who sat with us at our very first meeting and guided us in each direction through the planning process. Him and I got along from the moment we said hello to each other. He is absolutely amazing and wants to see every bride and groom have the best day. Peter's attention to detail is impeccable. He is truly a family man and makes you feel like family at Brooklake Country Club. Brooklake was recently renovated and the atmosphere is so classy and sophisticated. The staff are friendly, know how to treat guests, and make sure everything is run smoothly. The day of our wedding, even though I had been to Brooklake a dozen times, everything set up for my day truly took my breath away! (there is only one event at a time which is a huge bonus!) It was beyond beautiful and Peter took care of everything I wanted. I could never thank him enough! From every email I sent him, he was always quick to respond and was always helpful. If I wanted to add/change/move/fix something, he never made it an issue, always said okay! Our reception was so much fun, I have guests telling me every time I see them how amazing all of the food was and I still have guests telling me the cocktail hour was the BEST they ever saw and tasted! Our guests could not get over how much food there was. The bridal attendant that was with me all day did not leave my side. She was AMAZING. Anything I needed, she was there. There is truly not a better venue than Brooklake Country Club. We cannot thank Peter enough!

Wonderful venue for our perfect wedding!
My husband and I got married at Brooklake in October 2021 and we could not have had a more perfect day! After looking at many venues, we decided to book Brooklake and work with Peter, their catering director, as we really felt he would help us with every step of the planning process. From starting with our table setting options to finishing with what color lights we wanted in the ballroom, Peter helped us make every decision. He thoughtfully provided a million checklists and ideas so that we were sure to have every aspect covered. Peter and his team did a great job of walking us through the day of as well, making sure that we didn't miss a single thing. The food was delicious, the venue was beautiful, the waitstaff was wonderful - thank you for the most perfect day!

11-7-21 Wedding
The minute I walked into Brooklake for a tour, I already had my mind made up. The place is STUNNING inside & out and the staff is so friendly and professional. The year leading up to our wedding I was in contact with Peter a lot and he is just fantastic. Not only is he detail oriented and kind but he treated me and my family like his own. We had our wedding this past Sunday on 11-7-21 and everything turned out perfectly just the way I envisioned it with a wide variety of amazing food. My bridal attendant Adrianna was also wonderful. She made sure I was fed & had a drink at all times and was by my side for whatever I may have needed. Thank you SO much Brooklake staff for a beautiful day and night!!

Amazing Wedding!
The beauty of a Brooklake wedding is unparalleled. From its picturesque patio where we held our ceremony to the professionalism and class displayed by Wendy and the entire staff, our October 23, 2021 wedding was truly the best night of our lives. Our guests are still raving about the delicious food and how stunning the entire venue was - both inside and out! Every detail was taken care of with such grace to make sure our minds were at ease throughout the planning process. We are forever grateful for everyone at Brooklake, and couldn’t recommend this incredible venue more highly.
Brooklake's reply:
Thanks Jeanette! It was our pleasure. From your gorgeous ceremony, to a night where not one of your guests left the dance floor, it was an unforgettable wedding!! All the best to you and Conor in your new life together! -the team at Brooklake

Best wedding venue ever!
If you’re thinking of booking Brooklake - DO IT. We got married last week and it was truly the best weekend ever. Leading up to the event, Peter and the entire staff were extremely helpful, warm and accommodating. Planning was a breeze with them. The day of the wedding itself, the Brooklake team spared nothing to ensure our guests, family and bridal party were well cared for. They handled every detail, thought of more than I did, and did everything with such kindness. Peter is an absolutely wonderful person and we so enjoyed getting to know him. The rest of the staff that helped us, including my bridal attendant Adrianna, and every single person were so lovely - we only wish we could have gotten to know everyone better. Our family and friends had the best time and we are so filled with gratitude for the entire Brooklake team.

The Best Wedding Ever
Don’t look any further than Brooklake for your next wedding or event. I have been to weddings all over NJ, and now finally hosted my own here. Every other venue in the area can’t compete with the service, views, and unbelievable food Brooklake has to offer.
We first found Brooklake when our good friends had their wedding there, and we are glad we chose brooklake as our own venue. Cocktail hour has food for days with plenty of seating for everyone. Dinner was fantastic, and each table got their own server that regularly would refill any drinks you needed. There were never any waits at the bars, even with our guest count of 250. The grounds and golf course are beautiful with plenty of great photo opportunities for you and guests.
Peter the catering director is one of the most caring and accommodating people we have ever worked with, and would do another event here at our next opportunity. Every family member we’ve spoken to after our wedding has said “Wow - that was the best wedding we’ve ever been to.”

Perfect from Start to Finish
We originally contracted with Brooklake in 2019 to host our daughter's wedding and reception in September 2020. When we postponed the wedding to September 2021, Brooklake was very flexible and accommodating. We worked with the Director of Catering, Peter Mitsaelides, who was responded promptly to our many requests and kept us informed of developments.
Peter was highly organized, calm and reassuring during the entire process from booking through the conclusion of the event.
The facilities are beautiful both indoors and out. The wedding was held under the tent on the patio (with over 200 guests), and guests had the option to return there during the reception if they wished. The grounds provide several good spots for photos with beautiful backdrops.
There are bridal and groom suites, and there is also a room off the cocktail party room where the bridal party could gather after the ceremony.
The food was outstanding, and the chef is able to create dishes from varied cuisines. We also hired an outside caterer to provide Indian food in addition to the food that was prepared in Brooklake's kitchen. We found that Brooklake was one of only a few venues in the area that would permit this. They are clearly accustomed to hosting Indian events (ours was mixed) and following the Indian traditions.
Peter was visible before, during and after the ceremony and reception and ready to help with every request. We left some decorations and possessions behind, and when we went to pick them up the next day, they were intact, organized and on a cart, ready for us to take to our car.
I want to recognize Bea, who looked after the bride and groom and close family members during the cocktail hour and reception, making sure that we were well-supplied with food and drink.

Brooklake was worth the wait!
When we first met Peter in July of 2019, we knew that this was the place that we wanted to have our wedding. The grounds and the rooms were absolutely gorgeous and Peter was so patient with all of our questions. When the pandemic hit, Peter was so kind and supportive of all of our worries and concerns. He held a Saturday in 2021 for us until the very last minute that we felt we could not have our August 29, 2020 wedding. Waiting the extra year at the time was so upsetting but well worth the wait. The food, the atmosphere, and the service were beyond our wildest dreams. Everyone was so attentive to not only Greg and I but our parents. The viennese table got rave reviews from our guests! Everything about Brooklake exceeded our expectations and I wish I could do it all again. Having to postpone at the time was so difficult but I can’t say enough how much I love everyone at Brooklake. Thank you for making our day so special after such a long time. We are so lucky to have had you!
Love, Caitlin & Greg Baxter

Made Our Vegan Wedding Perfect
Wendy and her staff made our wedding the perfect day. Her expertise was indispensable, and the chef was able to make a fully vegan menu for us which our omnivorous guests described as the best food out of any wedding they went to. I strongly recommend this beautiful venue, with incredibly attentive and professional staff that made us feel both safe and happy.

Must-book venue!!
I just had my wedding at Brooklake Country Club on 7/24/21 (rescheduled from 8/22/20) and could not have been more thrilled with how the day and night turned out! Peter, Carol, and everyone else that we dealt with at BCC were all amazing to work with - so sweet, beyond organized and truly just as invested in making your dream wedding come to life as the bride and groom are! They made sure everything was executed perfectly, and really treated us like family. Our guests were absolutely blown away at how gorgeous this venue is - both inside and outside! The newly renovated lobby, cocktail hour room, and ballroom are stunning, and the outside grounds are beautiful with greenery, flowers, and the most gorgeous views for sunset. To top it all off, the food was all so delicious!! Our guests are still raving about how amazing cocktail hour and dinner was. Brooklake will forever hold a special place in my heart and I HIGHLY recommend it to anyone booking their wedding!!!

Best Day of Our Lives!!! Thank you Brooklake!
I don’t even know how to start this review without crying. I’m a covid bride, we went from June 6, 2020 to November 28, 2020 to July 31, 2021
Brooklake was just so wonderful to us the entire process. The most attentive group of people I have ever met. Carol and Peter have been with us every step of the way. Making sure ALL of our questions were answered. All of our concerns are discussed. Our wedding day was the best day of our lives. I handed my wedding decor with a PowerPoint presentation lol and every little detail that I asked for was done to the T! The food was spectacular. We are big foodies and this was such a big part of our worry we wanted a lot of GOOD food and boy did we get it!! We added the seafood station and if you’re contemplating it, DO IT it was so worth it! Everyone is still raving about our cocktail hour. The Red Snapper, Chicken Wellington and Filet were all so amazing!!! Everything happened without a hitch and there’s a group of people behind that.
Maury, thank you so much for making sure our day was just perfect. I cannot begin to imagine the kind of work the Maitre D had to do to manage a 200 person wedding. Thank you!
Edith, my love I don’t know if I would been able to have made it through this day without you. You were by my side the entire day making sure I took a second to breath, to drink, to make sure my dress and hair were in place for pictures. Holding my straw so I don’t ruin my lipstick. Grabbing us food and feeding us as we walk and talk to our guests. You are a saint.
Carol, I don’t even know what to you say. I guess I can start with, you were right. I had the most amazing wedding a girl can only dream of. I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking such an amazing care of my husband and I. Thank you for your patience, your kindness and you attention to detail. Everything was perfect just like you promised. I wish I would of listened to you when you told me time and time again not to worry.
Peter, I know I already cried and hugged you to death when we picked up our stuff after the wedding but Thank You just doesn’t seem enough to express our sincerest gratitude. I know that I am as organized as they come but you my friend has got me beat. You do not miss any detail. A true perfectionist in the best compliment possible. We will forever cherish our wedding day and it’s all thanks to you and the entire Brooklake staff.
We made the absolute right choice by picking this venue. The grounds were stunning. Our ceremony was picturesque. If you have any doubt in your mind if you should book Brooklake.. come find me, I’ll answer all of your questions and will put your mind at ease.

Best Wedding Venue in Northern NJ!
We just had our wedding at Brooklake on June 26th and it was the most magical day ever. Everyone at Brooklake was amazing. Peter, Edith and the Maitre D were all wonderful and made our day go so smooth. The tent outside was beautiful along with the grounds. Everyone said that the food was the best food they have ever had at a wedding. I can't thank them enough for making my special day the best! Thank you!

Book Brooklake for your Dream Wedding
We fell in love with the Brooklake Country Club the moment we visited the venue back in December 2019. Due the pandemic, we had to push our wedding from September 2020 to June 2021 and we're so glad we did. Peter and his team ensured we had the wedding of our dreams. The place was immaculate and they installed a beautiful outdoor tent where we had the ceremony that overlooks the golf course. It was a stunning location and guests were in awe. The BCC staff were so helpful and made sure all of the guests were comfortable and well taken care of.

Amazing venue, outstanding staff, and great services!
The brooklake team was amazing to work with, from the first time we met with Wendy she walked us through the process and made everything very easy for us as we were changing our destination wedding to a NJ one due to the pandemic and had less than 90 days. Wendy was very easy to work with and included our requests to change some menu items. The day of our wedding the whole staff at Brooklake was very attentive to our needs, helped us not only with the flowers and dress but even helped with the kids when the bridal party needed to take pictures ! The food was excellent and the service was amazing!
Brooklake's reply:
Thank you Nancy and Dan! It was a pleasure hosting your wedding. Hopefully one day soon you'll get to celebrate in Aruba! All the best to you both.

Dream wedding venue with a dream team!
Brooklake Country Club is a phenomenal place to get married! the sweeping views of the golf course, the sunset, and the elegant decor inside the hall with big windows and natural light were breathtaking. Above all else however the staff specifically Peter, Adriana (my fabulous bridal attendant), Maury and Carol were absolutely incredible. They were so accommodating and understanding with both us and our families. They made our wedding better than we ever dreamed! We all really felt the team cared about us, about our day, and made our wedding stress-free (which is virtually impossible with Indian weddings)! I highly highly recommend this venue for any bride who values unparalleled views, elegant and clean decor and a team who treats you like family. For all my fellow Indian brides out there, get married here! You will fall in love! Huge thanks to the Brooklake Country Club family

Absolutely Amazing!
We booked Brooklake Country Club in 2018 and planned for our wedding to be in April 2020. Due to COVID, we postponed to July 2020 and then again to April 2021-without any issues at all. To say Peter made the process as stress free as possible is an understatement. Throughout the whole year, Peter maintained contact with us to update us about the venue and just to check on our general well-being. He was absolutely amazing throughout the entire process, even prior to COVID! His staff was also extremely friendly and helpful. Our Maitre’d and bridal attendant took such amazing care of us. The venue is not only gorgeous, but the food was also amazing! We cannot say enough amazing things about our experience getting married at Brooklake. Thanks to all of their hard work our day was perfect!

Brooklake Saved Our Wedding!!
Brooklake literally saved our wedding! My husband and I were originally set to be married at another venue on October 23, 2020, but with covid, our plans changed so many times, leaving us scrambling to find a new venue to get married at by September. Fortunately, with less than two months to spare, Brooklake had our date available! We met with Peter for our tour who was just beyond exceptional! Peter took the time to answer all our questions and take us on the grounds, including where our first look would be. He was always in communication with us and quick to respond. He was such a pleasure to work with and such a breath of fresh air! Without question, we booked Brooklake right away! This was easily the best decision we made for the entire wedding. We had an absolute BLAST at Brooklake! Our wedding was phenomenal and we owe it all to Brooklake. To start, Brooklake’s grounds are just breath taking. Especially in the fall, the leaves and fountains made for the most picture perfect day. In addition, the staff at brooklake are just beyond exceptional! They pay attention to every little finite detail and make sure everything is perfectly executed, all with kindness and curtesy. They all made sure that we kept on track and kept the day flowing seamlessly. Peter, Maury, and Natalia were always checking in with us to make sure everything was going as planned. In addition, my bridal attendant was always by my side, helping fix my dress and making sure I looked my best for every moment. The wait staff were so attentive. They were always nearby with hor d’oeurves and always made sure our glasses were full. I was simply blown away by the service at Brooklake. The staff truly found a way to make us feel special. My husband and I are so thankful for all of their hard work. It did not go unnoticed! Lastly, the food. Oh my, the food is just unreal at Brooklake. Trust me, your guests will be happy! All in all, Brooklake knows what they are doing when it comes to weddings! I truly could not have dreamed of a better wedding day. My husband and I will always be thankful to Brooklake for making our wedding day a reality and the best day of our lives! We truly hope we can book another event there!

Our dream wedding day!
Absolutely outstanding job by the entire Brooklake staff! My husband and I still can’t get over how perfect they made our wedding day. Peter helped us throughout the entire planning process and accommodated all of our requests. Maury did a great job coordinating on the day of the wedding, and Veronica was the best bridal attendant a girl could ask for! Our guests complimented the top-notch service all night. Thank you for making our day so special!

An unforgettable evening
We pulled it off... a wedding in the midst of everything that is going on this year. Brooklake was with us every step of the way and was incredibly accommodating. Peter is a class act, and he takes tremendous pride in the events they host. The food at Brooklake is exceptional.
Don’t hesitate to consider an outdoor wedding- it takes a little extra work, but it can be beautiful- maybe even more beautiful- than your original idea.

The Best and Worth it!
First of all, you'd love Peter! He is wonderful and amazing! His team are also very helpful and great! Brooklake Country Club did not disappoint! Since my wedding is on December, the place is decorated for Christmas and it looked so beautiful! Edith, who helped me the whole day is awesome too! She made sure I am taken care of and that I eat (as a bride you forget to eat at the moment but she made sure to ask me about it). She helped me bustle my long dress which kept on falling and fixed it. She's so nice!!!! The reception is great, food is awesome, the team are organized and nice. Overall, it was the best wedding I could have! This is a place where people and Peter really give it their best and they work by heart. Thank you so much for making my special day a momentous day of my life. I would never forget about it. Consider this place a great value for your wedding. You will not regret it! -Mercy-
Brooklake's reply:
Mercy, It was an absolute pleasure to give you the wedding of your dreams and wish you both the best of wonderful wishes as you begin your new life as husband and wife, CONGRATULATIONS!!

Best Decision We Ever Made!
I don't have enough words for what Brooklake Country Club is. Peter, Adriana, Maury, Carol, and the entire staff is hands down the best I have ever encountered. My husband and I got married there this past weekend for our big fat Indian wedding, and Peter took care of everything from day one. He knew more about Indian weddings than we did! My husband and I had narrowed it down to two venues, and we immediately went with Brooklake because of PETER. He is so kind, so attentive, and so loving! He makes you feel like family and genuinely cares about making your wedding perfect. We had an amazing martini bar and Viennese dessert that people are still calling us about! Peter and Maury took care of everything to make sure it all ran smoothly. Carol always emailed be back immediately answering any questions. My bridal attendant, Adriana was just the MVP of my wedding, making sure I always had a drink in hand, refreshing my lip gloss, putting hot towels on my hands and feet when I got cold. She anticipated my needs before I even verbalized them. Maury, our Maitre D, really knew his stuff! He had everything running so efficiently and always had a smile on his face. Everyone calmed us down any time an issue came up and told us it was handled. The entire staff goes above and beyond for everyone at your wedding. Adriana made me plates several times and tried so hard to get me to eat anything, even carrying my appetizer plate as I mingled so I could just turn and take a bite! She went as far as packing so many trays of food and desserts because she knew I did not get to eat anything! Thank you to everyone at Brooklake for making our day perfect. We will never EVER forget any of you!

Best Day Ever
My husband and I got married at Brooklake earlier this month (September 2019) and everything was absolutely perfect. The venue itself and grounds are stunning, making for the perfect outdoor ceremony. Peter (Director of Catering) and his staff are kind, professional and accommodating. From the moment we met Peter we instantly felt comfortable with him. He was very responsive and flexible throughout the whole planning process, paying close attention to our every want and need for our special day. The entire day of staff including Edith (Bridal Attendant), Bea (Parent's Attendant) and Maury (Maitre'd) were incredibly attentive, and we are so grateful for all of their efforts to make sure our day went seamlessly. Our guests are still raving about how wonderful the food was, and how beautiful the venue was. It truly made for gorgeous pictures! We would highly recommend BCC as a wedding venue -- they will not disappoint!!

Couldn't have been better
Brooklake was absolutely perfect! When I was looking for a venue the person I spoke with was a huge decision maker and Peter was the reason I booked. He made everything easy and carefree. He was quick to respond, flexible and answered all of my questions. I didn't think all of the staff could be that amazing until my wedding day. About halfway through the cocktail hour I had an entire glass of red wine spilt on me. Edith (my bridal attendant) rushed me downstairs before I even had a minute to process what was happening and started to try everything to get the stain out. She scrubbed and scrubbed and helped change the bustle to ensure it was virtually unseen for the rest of the night. While in the room a bunch of staff members came down to see if I needed anything even the chef! They were so amazing and even in that moment I felt so calm.
I would highly recommend Brooklake to anyone. My guests cannot stop raving about the food and everyone was so happy! It was truly the wedding of my dreams.
Brooklake's reply:
Nicole, thank you so much for your sweet comments, we are all so happy your day was the day of your dreams. Congratulations from all of us here at Brooklake
Carol,
Assistant to Peter

Great experience with Peter, Carol and the entire BCC staff! From start to finish we felt comfortable and excited about our wedding reception at Brooklake CC.

Amazing venue and team!
Finding a venue was a bit of a stressful process, but when we met with Peter and saw Brooklake for the first time, we knew that we had found the spot for our wedding. The venue and outdoor surroundings were just beautiful, and this was even before they started on the renovations, which turned out amazing! We appreciated that even the drive to the venue was along lovely quiet suburban roads. Peter was just wonderful to work with – he’s warm, honest, and made us feel at ease throughout the whole process. We were struggling to find a way to accommodate the food preferences for our wedding, as we wanted to serve an Indian vegetarian-friendly dinner to half the guests and a plated dinner to the other half. Peter was very flexible and open to having the dinner partially catered by an outside vendor – this was the only venue that was willing to work with us in this way! We received so many compliments from our guests on the venue and food, and the entire Brooklake team was so professional and organized the day of. We had the perfect day and cannot recommend Brooklake enough for making it all possible.

Best Day of Our Lives!
We had our June wedding at Brooklake Country Club and could have not been more pleased with how seamless the day turned out from start to finish. Peter is an absolute master of his craft and his team ensured that our entire bridal party and all of our guests were taken care of from morning preparations until clean up. The perfect combination of a newly renovated venue and a gorgeously landscaped outdoor setting gave our guests and ourselves a picture perfect day. The food was plentiful and delicious, the staff was attentive and friendly, and our day was perfect in every way thanks to the efforts put forward by Peter and his team at Brooklake. I HIGHLY recommend this venue for any special event that you are planning to be effortless and memorable, as it won't disappoint! Thanks again!

Beyond amazing wedding venue
Peter was amazing to work with. His attention to detail made our night wonderful. He was responsive, flexible, and always willing to go above and beyond for us. Our guests were so impressed by the beautiful Brooklake grounds and it made for great pictures. We loved that we were able to have half our cocktail hour inside and half outside. It gave more space for guests to mingle. We were lucky we had a great July night. The matre'd and bridal attendant were awesome - and always made sure everything was going as planned, that we were eating and that we had a drink in hand to enjoy the night, as well. Peter was even at our event and checked in to make sure everything was going how we liked and to see if we needed any changes. You often do not see the person who you spent time planning your wedding with from the venue at the event - this was important! Brooklake blew us away and we will forever have such such a wonderful memory of our wedding due to their attention to detail. Thank you again Peter & the Brooklake Staff!

Brooklake CC and Peter Were More Than Amazing
My wife and I had a hard time finding a venue for a wedding that we wanted in July. We thought we had found the one, but things did not work out and we had to start the search all over again. A friend recommended Brooklake CC and we fell in love at first sight and we knew this was the venue for us. I can't say enough about how well Peter treated us from our first interaction to our wedding day. He was there to answer any question we had. He worked with us to make the best wedding possible on our budget. The staff was amazing on our wedding day as well. They were there to help make our family as comfortable as possible throughout the day. We received so many compliments from guest about how great the food, service, and entire venue was. Book the Brooklake for your events. You will not regret it.
Brooklake's reply:
Kanika and Michael, Thank you so much for your kind words, we are so appreciative and so very happy that we were able to give you both the wedding of your dreams!! Best of luck to you both!!

Every Bride's DREAM!
Our wedding was at Brooklake Country Club just a few weeks ago (June 2019) and was everything a bride (& groom) could dream of. Words can’t express our gratitude to Peter Mitsaelides, director of catering and the entire staff at BCC. From the minute we met Peter, we felt like family. Everyone went above and beyond to ensure that our day went smoothly. Edith, the bridal attendant, was with us from early morning preparations, to assisting during photographs and throughout the evening. Bea, our parents personal attendant, took care of their every need during the reception. Mory was more than attentive and surpassed our expectations. The staff granted my wish for an outdoor ceremony. They tracked the weather while a storm passed thru and waited up until the very last minute to make the decision. Minutes leading up to the ceremony, staff was outside drying off chairs for all our guests! The venue and view overlooking the golf course are absolutely gorgeous, which made for amazing pictures. Our guests are still raving about the food and service provided Executive Chef D’Onofrio! We would recommend BCC to any future bride and groom! We can not thank the BCC staff enough for making our day unforgettable!

Highly recommend!
We had our wedding at Brooklake a few weeks ago. From the first time we visited and met Peter (who is truly a gem), we felt confident that we, and our guests, were in good hands. It's a beautiful venue, but beyond that, the impeccable service really elevates it to something special. No detail is left unattended. We used an outside caterer, as we were having a traditional Indian wedding, but did get a few cocktail hour and dessert items through Brooklake, and those were delicious. Edith, our attendant, was a superhero and a calming presence for me. Many guests have raved to us in the weeks since about our wedding, and it truly was thanks to the efforts of Peter, Edith, Bea (our parents' attendant), Maury (the maitre'd), and the rest of the staff at Brooklake that we had such a memorable and wonderful day.

The Wedding of Our Dreams
Brooklake Country Club was the first venue we visited. We were overwhelmed from the second we walked in the door, not just by the decor, but by the people! Everyone, at every stage of the wedding process, was friendly, accommodating and easy to work with. We knew from the very beginning that everyone at Brooklake would work their hardest to give us the wedding of our dreams.
That is exactly what they did.
Our bridal attendant, Edith, was a superhero! She stayed with us every second. From the early morning preparations through the end of the night, Edith made sure that we had anything we could want.
Bea, our parents' attendant, was beyond accommodating and took care of both sets of parents throughout the entire reception.
Peter Mitsaelides, the director of catering, took care of every detail of the night with precision. Our guests could not say enough about how wonderful every part of the reception was- from the decor, to the food, to the staff---everything was phenomenal!

A dream come true!
I cannot stress enough how spectacular our experience with Brooklake Country Club was. Even in the midst of a 98-degree day, our outdoor ceremony and everything that followed was absolutely perfect. The venue is admittedly not cheap, but we got more than enough bang for our buck. The scenic backdrop was wonderful for pictures, the gazebo and patio area comfortably fit all of our guests who opted to sit outside for the ceremony, and people still rave to me about how much they enjoyed the food. The reception hall was spacious and beautifully decorated, the bars were fully stocked and well operated, and every detail was in perfect order from the moment you walked in the front door. The catering director, Peter, was a dream to work with - he promised us the world and, to my surprise, he completely delivered. We had personalized decorations, signature cocktails, special requests for the bar to stock, specific seating arrangements, custom music for the ceremony, a need for gluten-free food options, special requests for lighting, and much more, and not once did we have to worry that things wouldn't be exactly to our liking. Peter was always available for spur of the moment questions and concerns, and his calm demeanor and sense of humor was reassuring during the stressful wedding planning process. I also want to add a special thank you to the bridal attendant Edith, who made sure the bride stayed cool, calm, and collected all throughout the hot and hectic day. Everyone at Brooklake was a consummate professional - our wedding went off without a hitch, and they deserve a ton of credit for that. Highly recommend!

Exceptional Venue All Around
From the planning process all the way through to our wedding night, Peter and his staff at Brooklake were nothing short of exceptional. The venue is top notch – from outdoor space, beautiful scenery for photos, to wonderful acoustics…was everything we could have hoped for. The cocktail hour offered a bunch of unique and delicious stations, and the menu for the actual wedding was way more extensive than the usual steak or fish you see at weddings. I can’t recommend Brooklake enough, and thanks again Peter and staff for hosting an evening we’ll never forget.

I honestly don't know where to start. Peter is like an actual dream come true. His professionalism and attention to detail had me sold after one tour. I went there thinking there was no way I was having my wedding there and walked out telling my mom "this is the place." From day one, Peter was very easily reachable, open to all my changes, kind, giving, helpful, everything! Every time he saw me, it was like I was family to him. I chose to not only have my wedding at Brooklake, but my bridal shower as well! Come the day of the wedding, Peter, Edith, the Maitre d', and the whole staff were spectacular. They took care of literally everything and made me and my whole family feel so special and tended to. I honestly cannot imagine having had my wedding anywhere else. Edith was by my side all day long with water, my lip gloss, holding my bouquet and veil, everything. Shew as AMAZING! Thank you so much, from my entire family!!

I highly recommend Brooklake Country Club for any bride looking for a beautiful indoor and outdoor wedding venue. The venue is breathtaking and is so beautiful. They work on every detail to make every room perfect. Peter was such a pleasure to work with. He was always available to answer my questions and often answered them before I could even ask. We asked for a few special elements and they covered everyone. The entire staff the night of my wedding were absolutely amazing. My bridal attendant Edith was by my side all night. She covered all of my needs as well as the needs of my girls. The other staff made sure my parents every need was clearly addressed down to bringing my dad a plate of shrimp just for him. Many of our guest commented on how great the staff was.

I grew up in Florham Park but never truly appreciated this little gem in my hometown. Brooklake was the ONLY venue we visited, and we knew after meeting with Peter that we had to get married there and no where else! It is an absolutely stunning venue, a perfect setting for photos, and has incredible service. Plus -- do not even get me started on the FOOD! My husband is from Illinois, so we had a lot of out-of-staters attend. They were not familiar with the Jersey wedding tradition of lavish cocktail hours, and they were flabbergasted that the cocktail hour food was not even the main course! All of our guests were incredibly impressed with everything about Brooklake. Peter, Carol, and the rest of the BCC team made our wedding more than we could have ever imagined it to be. They were very accommodating the year of our engagement, answering any and all questions we had and meeting with us when my husband's parents were in town. We absolutely cannot recommend BCC enough!

Brooklake Country Club was amazing - from starting out on or venue search all the way through the wedding day, it was so easy! Peter is very kind and understanding and provided me with the utmost confidence that he would execute the day to perfection. The food was super tasty, the space was perfect for our 165 guests, and the patio for our ceremony was spectacular. Our guests had nothing bad to report and couldn't have had a better time.
After nearly a year of planning and emailing and meeting with Peter at Brooklake Country Club, its sad to have our relationship and conversations come to an end.

This venue deserves more than five stars for each category. It has every single thing one would want for their wedding- a beautiful view, outstanding service, delicious food, beyond efficient staff, and much much more. It was an overall truly unforgettable experience from start to finish. Peter is the absolute BEST when it comes to planning and preparing for the big day. It truly is a special and magnificent place and I could probably write three more pragraphs about it. I would not change a single thing about my wedding day except that I wish I could do it again!

From the outstanding views, to the delicious food, and exceptional staff... it just doesn't get better than this! Peter truly made our dream wedding come to life! He is not only an expert at what he does, but is also personally invested in making you the happiest bride! I would give this venue 100 stars and recommend it over and over and over again!!!

We had a wedding reception of about 300 and it was worth every penny. The view is unparalleled, the staff is impeccable in their service, and we would love to do another event here. Each guest was attended to and left feeling as though it was truly a magical night. I opted not to have a wedding planner; this staff helped me execute my vision perfectly. They work hard, are very kind, and leave you feeling so grateful for their service.

Looking for a venue for a small wedding for a Saturday in New Jersey is very challenging. We found our options to be so limited and were beginning to feel discouraged. That soon changed after I called Brooklake Country Club to find out if there was a minimum guest requirement and I was told that in addition to their ballroom, they had their Waterfords room that was open to the public for events the first weekend of every month. We scheduled an appointment and it was love at first sight all over again. The grounds and building are so beautiful and well-kept and the staff is amazing. Its actually hard for me to put into words how incredibly happy I was to have my wedding here, but I can tell you that from beginning to end, I had the best experience and even with a small wedding (70 guests) I was given as much attention and appreciation as if I were hosting a 250+ person wedding that so many of these other venues wanted from me.
In many of these reviews you’ll find the name Peter mentioned and I must say that none of these reviews, not even my own, will be able to truly describe how wonderful this man is. He is so knowledgeable, patient, kind and clearly loves what he does. He helped us plan our reception exactly as we had hoped it to be and he and his team executed flawlessly. He was responsive and honest and made us feel so important even when we knew he was busy. You can put every ounce of trust you have into Peter, he will create your dream wedding. Nelly was our bridal attendant and Natasha our captain, and from beginning to end they were incredible. It’s obvious that each employee takes service very seriously.
The food and drinks were incredible. We expected no less, but after our tasting we could not wait for the wedding day. Every bite from cocktail hour to dinner was delicious and there was more than enough for everyone, no matter their food preference. Every guest raved about the food and no one left hungry.

My sister and her husband were married at Brooklake 6 months before us, so we had an idea of how our wedding would be. After seeing how great Brooklake was during her wedding, we knew we wouldn't be disappointed. Six months later, we were blown away at how everything went off without a hitch. From removing items in the lobby to changing the layout of the cocktail hour room and everything in between, Peter and his staff were amazing. We met with Peter 2 or 3 times before the big day, and trust me when I say, you will never find another event manager who is more organized than Peter. If you tell him something the first time you meet, he will remember it on your wedding day. We loved working with him and his staff and are looking forward to the next event we attend at Brooklake.

We had our wedding reception at Brooklake this past July and could not have even imagined a better event. From our very first meeting, Peter was accessible and helpful as we agreed a date between the venue and church. From there he was incredibly organized and detail oriented, providing us with all the information we needed and keeping us on schedule. He always answered all our questions and offered suggestions as we completed our planning. We always felt like we were the only couple working with Brooklake. Hearing from other brides dealing with other venues, I am so appreciative of the experience we had with Peter! Closer to the wedding, he helped us craft the cocktail hour and reception menus and schedules exactly as we wanted them, offering suggestions that were spot on.
When it came to the actual day, the staff at Brooklake executed perfectly! The room was decorated beautifully and they had displayed our items we had brought exactly as we had discussed. The vendors (cake, DJ, florist, photographer) had no issues setting up on time. The service we received was impeccable -- both from Bea our attendant, and also from the rest of the staff for all of our guests. Bea made sure my husband and I were well taken care of and brought everything we needed - food, drinks, and she even gave us cake to-go so we could enjoy it later on! We still have guests raving about our wedding months later - from the cocktail hour, to the food, to the view, to the fact that the bartender already had their drink ready as they approached.
It’s easy to think that your wedding was the best, but it’s really special when people go out of their way to tell you yours was the best wedding they had ever been to. Peter and his team created a truly magical evening for us and our guests, and I don’t think anyone will ever forget it! Now we are just hoping to one day have the privilege to attend another Brooklake wedding as guests!

My husband and I got married at Brooklake Country Club last July 2016. We had such a wonderful experience working with Peter and Carol . As soon as we saw Brooklake in person we knew it was a top notch venue. They were professional, willing to work within our budget and menu, responsive and realized how great the service would be for our wedding day. We made multiple appointments with Peter and every time he was more than willing to meet with us and go over any questions we had. Carol was the most amazing woman to work with and made my life planning the wedding so much easier. Any time I had questions she would get back to me that day and knew the answers to everything! Every person that works at Brooklake takes ownership of the venue and makes sure its in mint condition. The staff was always so helpful and willing to show us around. Having our wedding at a venue like Brooklake made the ease of planning that much easier, as I knew they would take care of us on our wedding day. Our guests are still talking about the beautiful views, amazing cocktail hour options, and the overall service at our wedding. We were so happy that Peter was there for us on our wedding day along with his amazing staff, Bea who was my bridal attendant and was an absolute pleasure to with. I could go on and on about how wonderful our experience was for our wedding. I 100% recommend visiting and hopefully booking at Brooklake Country Club.

Their dreams came true on a breezy, sunny Saturday afternoon in July. The morning of the big day, the wedding party was treated to breakfast in the tastefully decorated bridal and groom suites. As guests arrived, they convened in the elegant, spacious lobby, and were then escorted to a romantic outdoor terrace overlooking gorgeous grounds, where my son and daughter-in-law exchanged their vows. Then the party started! Tables were set inside and on the terrace for cocktail hour. Beverage service was superb. The cuisine was unbelievable! Passed hors d’oeuvres, food stations, and a beautifully presented buffet were a sight for the eyes as well as a treat to the palate. Guests oohed and aahed as they were brought into the ballroom for the sit-down meal. The lighting, the dance floor, the beautifully set tables, the friendly professional staff – all this plus floor-to-ceiling windows revealing breathtaking views of the golf course and tranquil ponds with fountains. The staff treated the newlyweds like king and queen! The day was magical for the wedding party and all who attended. Everything fell into place. Guests commented that it was one of the best, if not THE best, wedding they had ever attended. The service was beyond exceptional. Thank you too dear chefs, groundskeepers, and all those behind the scenes who make Brooklake Country Club so special. Yours is a tough act to follow.

We got married at Brooklake Country Club on October 23, 2015 and had a FABULOUS wedding. The first time we viewed the venue we knew this was where we wanted to get married. The inside is gorgeous (especially the cocktail hour room) but the outside foliage and lake are *stunning* for a wedding. Peter was so incredibly helpful to work with from day 1, he listened to everything we said. Every email I had ever sent him he had printed out and in a folder to go over at our meeting right before the wedding. I did a lot of DIY and personalized decor and they were very helpful with setting everything up for us. The bridal attendant the day of the wedding (Bea) was so helpful, she brought us anything we needed. A lot of people say you starve the day of your wedding, well not for us! We were so full by dinner time we had to pack up our dinners to go home with. Which, the food was fantastic! Brooklake has it all, if you want to have a fall wedding...this is the place to have it at!

Brooklake Country Club delivered a beautiful event down to every last detail. We had our wedding at this gorgeous venue in September of 2015, a beautiful time of year that allowed us access to the outside patio for cocktail hour. Peter helped us plan every step of the way and was patient with my many questions and requests. The actual day of the wedding was fantastic, no detail was overlooked, and all of our guests had a wonderful evening. You don't realize how quickly time will fly and if it wasn't for Bea and Peter, my bridal party, groom and our families wouldn't have eaten a bite of food we were having such a good time. But Bea tended to all of us and made sure we had cold drinks and food in our stomach to enjoy the night to the fullest. Thank you to Peter and the Brooklake Country Club staff, I will be recommending you to everyone planning a wedding in the North Jersey area!

My husband and I actually got married in Las Vegas in May but buy Family demand we started planning a reception in July. While searching the internet I came upon a picture of the grounds of Brooklake Country Club and simply fell in love with it. No one I knew had been there so we checked the reviews on all sites and found NOTHING negative so we called and got my man Stanley. They they had Nov. 7th open, so we ran right out to meet with Stanley, the coolest guy in the business by far. When you drive onto the property you can feel this is someplace special, the lobby is warm and welcoming and I could visualize exactly how I wanted it to look for our day. It’s beautifully decorated with a fireplace, flowers and a grand piano and the grounds are nothing but breathtaking. The huge cocktail area and ballroom have a wall of windows that overlooks a lake with fountains, a patio area with tables and chairs and a fire pit. This not a private club but it is a one event venue so the patio is also yours to use the day of!!
The planning process was the easiest I have ever encountered and I have done Corp. Event planning before. Stanley and Barbara were a dream to work with and I’m an organized nut. It was so easy I felt like I missed something as most people planning a wedding for 140pp lose it a year in and I had simply months to get it all done. Stanley answered every email assuring me, it would be perfect and everything we dreamed of. (And he was right)
The day of was absolutely seamless, everything was exactly as we had planned it. It was beautiful, Stanley, Peter, Maury, Bea and Noella made sure every single small detail was taken care of. We had a private room to dress in and leave our belongings for the evening. Fully stocked from small fridge to a shower! Everyone was greeted at the door with champagne, the cocktail hour was amazing! The ballroom was gorgeous,

AMAZING VENUE. Love all the staff that the made our October 2015 wedding so incredible. We got tons of compliments from every piece of service they offered throughout the night. My bridal attendant was FANTASTIC--I could not have asked for anything more. Stanley (who I primarily worked with), Peter, and Carol were all so incredibly nice. They absolutely know what they are doing and make you feel like a princess! Always responsive, love that there is only one wedding going on at a time. Really respectful when it comes to touring the venue and doing taste testing (as a future bride, they were sure not to have you there when there was a wedding going one--which is awesome when its your turn to be the bride). Beautiful venue, great place to take your pictures. Cannot give them enough compliments for making our wedding so special! Thank you!

My husband and I had our reception at the Brooklake on 10/24/15. I know many people must say this but it truly was the best day of our lives and I believe it had ALOT to do with the Brooklake and it's staff, especially Peter. Peter was the most caring and reliable person from the day we met him and that did not change after he received our deposit. He was there every step of the way to answer questions and put me at ease and run through the events and how things would work. Anything I had an idea about that wasn't necessarily the "standard", he MADE SURE happened. For example, I had cake boxes to go and little bags for treats and I was worried people would not see them to know to take some stuff to go. Peter personally stood outside and as guests left directed them to the Vienesse table. And that is just one example, he and his staff were absolutely incredible. Bea took care of both of our parents and they all raved about her. The attendant for my husband and I was also incredible. She always made sure we were taken care of and had everything we needed.
Secondly, the grounds are just absolutely breathtaking. The huge ballroom has an entire wall of windows in the back that overlooks a lake with fountains and two firepits. The lobby when you come in is beautifully decorated around the fireplace and the grand piano is a classy touch.
Also, the guests are still raving about the food. Cocktail hour and dessert were seriously unbelievable. The amount and quality of food was outrageous. I do not have any bad things to say about this place.
All around an AWESOME venue. The most beautiful views with even better people running it. HIGHLY RECOMMEND TO FRIENDS AND FAMILY.

We are so happy with how everything turned out for our wedding at Brooklake! Even with gray skies, the day was absolutely beautiful. From start to finish, Peter and his staff made sure all of our questions were answered and that everything came together wonderfully on wedding day. Everyone keeps raving about the food and service. We highly recommend this venue for your future event.

Peter Mitsaelides and the entire staff at Brooklake Country Club were outstanding in their service and professionalism before and during our wedding. Not one detail was overlooked. Everything was simply perfect. The food was delicious and plentiful, with a great variety of types to choose from. The venue is beautiful no matter what time of year, and is spotless inside and out. Even with all the sophistication of the venue, however, it is also a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Bridal attendants Noellia and Bea and maitre'd Morty were on top of every need of us and our guests. The value for the price is incredible, with many things included in the price that other venues charge extra for. My only regret is that I'll only have one wedding at Brooklake Country Club!

My husband and I got married last Sunday at the Brooklake Country Club and we couldn't have been happier. When we first met Peter we were impressed and confident in his professionalism but he even surpassed our expectations. He and his staff attended to every detail with perfection. All our guests are still raving about the food, service and venue. Many told us that it was the best wedding that they've ever attended. Peter even gave us a beautiful day making my dream come true of having an outdoor ceremony. The best thing about Peter is that he really cares about the people he works with and wants to give them an amazing and memorable event. Brooklake is the place to go if you want a perfect and stress free wedding. Kenny and I were joking about having another wedding there next year because our experience was so unbelievable. Thank you Brooklake and thank you to our new friend Peter.

Peter and the Brooklake staff could not have done a better job. From the initial meeting to the day after the wedding it is evident that BCC cares about their events and will do whatever is necessary.
The food was amazing. The high notes for me were the mushroom ravioli, seared snapper and tiramasu. Everyone loved our signature drink which was created by the BCC bartender.
The service is top notch.

Nothing but the best from Brooklake! My husband and I couldn't be more pleased with how smooth our wedding went from planning to production. We met with Stanley and corresponded throughout the year leading up to our wedding. He was always quick to respond to emails, met with us in person a few times, and reassured me countless times that I had nothing to worry about. The day of was flawless with a beautiful indoor ceremony overlooking the manicured golf course followed by a fantastic cocktail hour and reception for 150 guests. The food was outstanding with 150 main courses served hot and fresh. There was an abundance of appetizers for cocktail hour and copious deserts and coffees for the end of the night. The bridal attendant ensured that my husband and I ate both at the cocktail hour and reception and always made sure we had a drink in hand. Stanley and the mater dei ensured that the day flowed smoothly and handled everything from start to finish. It was an amazing feeling to not have to worry about a thing and just enjoy the day! Guests are still raving about Brooklake regarding the excellent food, great ambiance, and personalized service. Without a doubt, I would recommend Brooklake to anyone looking for superior service in a beautiful setting.

My husband and I looked at multiple other locations prior to visiting Brooklake Country Club. When we first arrived at BCC and met with Peter we immediately fell in love with him. He is just so warm and inviting that he made us feel like part of his family. After seeing the venue and the beautiful views we sat down with Peter and booked our date very soon after. Peter was so accommodating as he allowed us to visit the venue multiple times and answered any questions we had, always with a smile.
We had a Friday wedding and Peter and his team welcomed us early in the morning and allowed us to get ready on site. It was great having the bridal suite and the separate groom suite for the bridal party to get ready. Their team did everything to make sure that we were well taken care of.
Our ceremony took place indoors with a breath-taking view over the golf course and lake. With perfect lighting and fall colors on the trees we were able to get some really amazing pictures. All of the guests kept talking about the cocktail hour and how great the food was. We were able to sneak away into a side room and enjoy some of the cocktail food in private, this was great because we knew it would be tough to eat and talk with all the guests. The food throughout the reception was great and the service was very professional. We didn't have to worry about anything as Peter and his fantastic team took care of everything.
Bea, the bridal attendant, was amazing. She welcomed us when we first arrived and kept making sure we had everything we needed throughout the whole night. She even made sure that our parents were well taken care of. My father-in-law said that he never had to get his own drink as she always had one waiting for him. She is one of the stars on the stellar BCC team.
We couldn't have asked for anything better. We truly feel like we are now part of the Brooklake family. We highly recommend this venue and Peter for your wedding.

Where to start...When we started planning our wedding, we wanted a place that provided an elegant setting for a black tie affair, and also accommodate our 230 guests. Food was a top priority in addition to ambiance. Upon meeting Peter, the wedding coordinator, I immediately knew he would be able to cater to our every need. His warm demeanor and knowledge about the industry immediately earned our trust. He answered our 1000 questions and was knowledgeable about all of the vendors we planned to work with. Being a bit anxious and anal, Peter made me feel entirely at ease, and made this wedding planning process a breeze. I knew we were in fantastic hands.
Food: We were so amazed at the complexity of the choices for food throughout the entire affair. There are so many options to choose from, and was a selling point for us. In addition to the at least 13 different types of pass-arounds during cocktail hour, there was such a variety of options for chafing and action stations. People still can't stop talking about our cocktail hour. Not only about the ABUNDANCE of food, but also the quality. The lamb chops were simply some of the best I've ever had. All of the dinner options were fantastic, and when we walked around to greet our guests, all we saw were empty plates (despite who full everyone was after cocktail hour).
Atmosphere: We were able to choose different lighting options to set the mood for our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. Being that we had a fairly large wedding, we wanted to make sure that there was space for everyone during each aspect of our wedding. The cocktail hour space is large with plenty of tables for people to nibble. The grounds are breathtaking, and the dance floor was able to hold (for the most part) our very rowdy party.
The wedding attendants catered to our every need while we got ready, and during the wedding itself. Shout out to Bea for making sure we ate and relaxed a bit. Every aspect was perfection and provided our dream wedding.

Wow.. is all we can say when it comes to our wedding day at Brooklake Country Club. We knew the moment that we walked into BCC, we had to have our wedding there. The whole BBC team went above and beyond of what we could ever dream of. We met with Peter, who was extremely accommodating to us throughout the whole wedding process. We had a couple of specific requests that we had asked if he could do and his response was always "not a problem.. we can get that for you". You are the best Peter!!!
This venue is absolutely breathtaking. It has amazing views of the golf course, and immaculate decor throughout the cocktail and reception rooms. We were lucky enough to have our wedding on a beautiful October day where we could capture some incredible pictures.
The food was also top notch. All of our guests can't stop raving about how amazing the food was, cocktail hour, dinner and the viennese table. I also loved that they gave my husband and I our own private room for a short time before and for the beginning of the cocktail hour to eat the delicious cocktail food. We appreciated that because we knew that if they didn't do that for us we probably wouldn't have ate!
The service was also impeccable. Bea, my bridal attendant, was absolutely amazing!! She was there to assist us in anything we needed. We were truly treated like royalty. Marty was fantastic as well with making sure our needs were met.
From start to finish, everything BCC did was professional and very well organized, I can honestly say I had nothing to worry about. Everything was absolutely perfect. They also only do 1 wedding at time, so it's completely catered to just you and your guests.
I would highly recommend BCC to anyone. Definitely make this a must see. They truly know how to make your wedding day an experience that exceeds every expectation you could ever imagine.
Thank you BCC for making our wedding day absolutely perfect!!!!!!!!

We had a private wedding ceremony on June 4th and our reception on October 4th at Brooklake Country Club. This is the thank you note that we sent to Peter, our fabulous contact at Brooklake...
From day one you and your team have been nothing short of outstanding and its
been appreciated throughout the entire process. Everything was absolutely
incredible and our guests keep commenting on how much they enjoyed themselves, the food
and about the beauty of the venue.
From yourself to Carol (Peter's Asisstant) to Noellia (bridal attendant) to the restroom attendant to the Maitre D and wait staff and bartenders, you were all so helpful and constantly available when we needed something.
Thank you again for a fantastic and stress free experience. You committed to a
confidence in your venue and team that made it impossible for us to think
anything could be anything less than amazing. And is was...amazing :)

Peter was our Event Director at Brooklake Country Club. When we first walked in to BLCC to check out the venue, we were immediately impressed by Peter's passion and care for every detail. To him, we were not 'just another' wedding, he made us feel special and listened to everything we had to say. The day of the wedding, I knew I did not have to worry about any detail because the Brooklake staff had it all covered. Our guests could not stop raving about the beautiful venue, the view and how incredible (and plentiful) all of the food was. The presentation and variety of food at the cocktail hour was incredible. I just wish my groom and I stopped talking to people so we could have eaten more!
Everything from dropping all of our items off to picking them up the day after the wedding was very easy and very organized. Brooklake was perfect for our wedding and it's a day we will remember forever.

We had my daughter's wedding ceremony and reception at Brooklake Country Club. We could not have been more pleased with every aspect of Brooklake, from the venue itself to all of the staff. Peter was amazing from day one - a consummate professional in every way and an absolute pleasure to work with! The venue offers a perfect setting for a wedding - inside and out. Our guests raved about everything, from the beauty of the setting to the amazing food and service. Honestly, Brooklake surpassed all of our expectations and enabled our family to have a perfect and unforgettable day!!

Brooklake Country Club is absolutely amazing - from the staff, to the food, to the service and lastly the gorgeous views of the golf course. We could not recommend anything else - absolutely exceptional. We worked with Peter who was literally at our beck and call throughout the entire process. His entire staff worked so hard to make our day seamless and memorable. We'd like to give special thanks to Bea who did such an amazing job making sure we had everything we could possibly need on the day of - she was a 2nd mother to the entire bridal party. Our guests raved about the venue and the food was absolutely amazing. I can't wait to have another event there just to have the chance to work with these great people. HIGHLY recommend!

We recently got married at this country club. Our primary contact was Peter. He was great to work with from the day we had our initial appt to our big day. He made sure that we had everything we needed and went above and beyond to take care of our needs. The venue and beauty of the course speaks for itself. We had an outdoor Indian wedding ceremony and everything just went perfectly. The staff was very cordial and punctual. I would highly recommend this place. Thank you Peter for all your help! -Kushal and Nehal

I couldn't be happier to have selected Brooklake Country Club for our wedding!
From the first time we met Peter and toured the facility we knew it would be the place for our wedding! We were treated like family every time we visited and felt at ease with putting our event in their hands. Peter made sure that everything was absolutely perfect throughout the planning experience and on the day of the event him and his staff took care of every single little detail - I didn't have to worry at all!!
The service they provide is beyond 5 stars - our guest haven't stopped raving about the service, food, venue, etc. Many have told us it's the best wedding they have ever attended.
If I did it all over again, I wouldn't hesitate for a second to select BCC and will certainly use them to host other events in the future!
Thank you to Peter and the entire BCC team for making my wedding the most amazing and memorable event!

I just held my wedding reception at Brooklake this past Saturday and I can't say enough about Brooklake Country Club and their staff. Peter had us sold on the venue the first day we visited. He was amazing to work with. Anything we asked for he was willing to do for us. He went above and beyond to create the most amazing cocktail hour, dinner, and outstanding dessert display. We are so thankful for Peter and for his attention to detail and professionalism throughout our entire wedding experience. Our reception was perfect. Peter knows how to throw a wedding!
The food throughout our entire reception was excellent. We had tasted the food a few weeks before and were so excited for our guests to enjoy it the day of our wedding. People are still buzzing about our cocktail hour and how wonderful their food and dessert was.
Finally I need to give a shout out to Nelly, my bridal attendant. She was so amazing. As soon as we got to Brooklake she took me to the bridal suite and catered to my every need. She forced me to eat, which I am so thankful for and showed up with a fresh glass of wine as I mingled at tables with my guests. It was awesome having her throughout the reception!
I would highly recommend Brooklake if you are looking for a wedding venue. We could not have asked for a better party to celebrate our special day!

From the moment we walked into Brooklake Country Club, my fiance and I knew that is where we wanted to have our wedding reception. Peter was so helpful and flexible in creating a delicious menu and unforgettable night. The large cocktail hour area, ballroom, and dance floor accommodated my 200 guests. We enjoyed the beautiful views of the golf course while outside for cocktail hour/pictures and continued to take in the scenery through the huge windows once inside the ballroom. Bea was my bridal attendant the night of the wedding and she was so accommodating, making sure we got to taste our cocktail hour food and had some time alone before greeting our guests. She always had a new cocktail waiting as soon as our drinks were half empty. It was an unforgettable night that could not have been more perfect. I highly recommend checking out Brooklake and guarantee that you will be impressed form the moment you step in!

I am eternally grateful to Peter and the entire staff of Brooklake Country Club for making my wedding day dreams come true.
From our first meeting with Peter when we saw the venue for the first time, it was obvious that the customer service was going to stand out from the rest of the venues we had seen (and we had seen several). Peter made us feel comfortable and special; we didn't feel like we would just be another set of dollar signs to this venue. Peter and his staff went out of their way from the day we booked through the end of our wedding night to make sure our wedding was perfect.
I have to say that one of the best parts about Brooklake is their full package: we weren't nickel and dimed for lighting or food or using the bridal suite, etc. They only host one wedding at a time, and the food was excellent. They provide opportunites to upgrade for cocktail hour but we didn't have the need to.
I continue to receive dozens of compliments on our wedding for the breathtaking views and atmosphere, the service, and the food, and I have Brooklake to thank!

Brooklake and Peter the director truly helped in making my wedding day the best day of my life! I did an afternoon wedding because it was November and I wanted my guests to be able to see the spectacular view. Everything was amazing. This venue has an actual premium liquor bar: grey goose, Jager, Jack D. And the food is excellent and presented in a 5 star manner. My guests were blown away at how amazing this venue is. You have to see it for yourself! No other in the area can compete and it was a short ride for my guests from the church in Morristown. I can't believe how beautiful my wedding was. Thank you Peter, Noellia (my bridal attendant) and the rest of the staff!!
