Our wedding at Fiddler's was nothing short of incredible! The entire staff, but especially Meg, went above and beyond to make everything perfect for us from the moment we set our date with them. The level of thoughtfulness that they all showed was exactly what you dream of when planning your wedding and our guests were blown away to the point where many of them commented on the incredible service. Can't say enough great things! -

Ashleigh Sent on 11/23/2025Best venue in NJ
Fiddler’s Elbow was the most incredible wedding venue we could have ever imagined. From start to finish, the entire process was seamless, detailed, and truly enjoyable. Their team made everything feel easy — every question answered, every detail accounted for, and every moment handled with so much care.
The venue itself is stunning, but what really sets Fiddler’s Elbow apart is the experience they deliver. Our guests are still telling us it was the best wedding they’ve ever been to, and we owe so much of that to Meg, the amazing staff, the beautiful flow of the day, and how effortlessly everything came together.
If you want a wedding that feels elevated, fun, and perfectly executed, Fiddler’s Elbow is it. We couldn’t be more grateful and would choose them again a thousand times over. -

Matt Sent on 10/21/2025Fiddler's Fall Wedding Review
Our wedding at Fiddler’s Elbow was absolutely perfect, and we can’t say enough good things about Meg and her amazing team. From start to finish, Meg was such a joy to work with. She was organized, calm, and always one step ahead. She made the entire planning process feel easy and stress-free, and on the big day, everything ran like clockwork. Her team was just as incredible, so kind, attentive, and clearly invested in making sure we had the best day ever. We honestly didn’t have to worry about a single thing because they had it all covered. The venue itself is stunning, and having it to ourselves for the entire day made it feel so personal and special. One of our favorite moments was the private cocktail hour upstairs with our friends and family. It was the perfect way to soak everything in before the party really kicked off. The cocktail hour and food were unbelievable. We got so many compliments from guests who said it was some of the best wedding food they’ve ever had. Overall, every detail was handled perfectly, and it truly felt like Fiddler’s Elbow went above and beyond to make sure our wedding day was everything we’d dreamed of. Meg even repaired one of our boutonnieres when it got damaged during pictures! -

Fiddler’s Elbow gave us the wedding day of our dreams. From the moment we started planning, Meg and her team made us feel so cared for, every detail was handled with such thoughtfulness and professionalism. The tasting was not only delicious but such a fun memory for us leading up to the big day.
When our wedding finally arrived, it truly could not have been more perfect. The venue is breathtaking, the food was incredible, and the entire staff went above and beyond to make sure everything flowed seamlessly. We felt completely present and at ease, surrounded by so much beauty and love.
We wish we could relive it all over again. Fiddler’s Elbow will always hold such a special place in our hearts for giving us the most magical day. -

Dana Sent on 09/21/2025If you're looking for the perfect venue, this is it!
Our review for Fiddler’s Elbow is long overdue. Almost a year has passed since our wedding day, yet we still find ourselves talking about how truly perfect it was. We honestly cannot imagine a more beautiful place to celebrate one of the most important days of our lives.
When searching for our venue, we were looking for a place that would be gorgeous in the fall, with beautiful outdoors, but that also had a stunning ballroom with plenty of space to dance. Fiddler’s Elbow gave us all of that and so much more. The grounds were picture-perfect with the autumn colors, and the ballroom was elegant, spacious, and filled with such an inviting energy. It was everything we had hoped for and beyond!
From start to finish, every single detail was handled with such care and excellence. The food was absolutely incredible and the service was unmatched—attentive, warm, and professional in every way. Everything felt effortless on our end, which allowed us to be fully present and enjoy the day!
A huge part of what made our experience extraordinary was Meghan. We could not have been more blessed to have her by our side throughout the entire journey. She was thoughtful, organized, and so genuinely invested in making it the best day ever. Meghan’s dedication and attention to detail gave us complete confidence that we were in the best hands. She answered every question, eased every worry, and managed every behind-the-scenes detail. Her kindness, professionalism, and passion for what she does made the process feel not only smooth, but truly special.
Looking back almost a year later, we can say without hesitation that choosing Fiddler’s Elbow was the best decision we made. It exceeded every expectation and gave us memories we will cherish for the rest of our lives. If you’re searching for the perfect venue, look no further—Fiddler’s Elbow is everything you could dream of and more. -

Fiddlers Elbow was amazing!
Our wedding at Fiddlers was an incredible experience from beginning to end. The wedding coordinator, Meghan, was spectacular in the planning and day of wedding. My husband ripped his tuxedo pants straight down the middle seam and Meghan busted out a sewing machine and repaired them. My mikado silk dress got stains on it, and she was able to make them disappear! I highly recommend fiddlers, not just for their superb menu, personalized ambience, and beautiful views - but for this level of care and dedication given to us and our event throughout the entire year long planning process. It was an amazing event and I highly recommend! -

Corinne Sent on 08/25/2025Our Guests are Still Talking about it
Our experience with Fiddlers Elbow Country Club was phenomenal. The staff were always incredibly professional and extremely easy to work with. They handled so much more than just the venue. They had an incredibly helpful list of other vendors they’ve worked with that made narrowing down our photographer and florist so much easier! The food was incredible, the menu tasting experience was its own mini party for us as we customized our night. It’s been almost a full year now and our friends are still talking about the entire experience. The grounds are stunning of course and everything was perfect. I cannot recommend enough how amazing the experience was working with Fiddlers. -

Christina Sent on 07/08/2025The best day at Fiddler's Elbow
Fiddler’s Elbow (Meghan in particlar) was AMAZING. Through the entire planning process, they offered us incredible guidance and flexibility when it came to scheduling the food tasting, visits with the florist, etc. The food tasting (about 3 months pre wedding) was an incredible — we had customized signature drink options, so many courses of delicious food and were even able to build our own cake layer by layer. As the day got closer, Meghan shared a very systematic checklist of planning necessities that made it fool proof and as low stress and possible :) The day before the wedding, when we went to drop off decor, the entire Fiddler’s staff was so excited and helpful — they really helped us get into the “wow, we’re getting married” mode!
On wedding day, we had private suites for the wedding party (one for the girls, one for the guys) — the space was ours for the day so we were able to bring whatever we might need and leave it there! While we were getting ready, the staff had breakfast and lunch spreads out for us. As we ate, the staff came in and took our plates — so the space stayed clean and tidy (which the photographer especially appreciated when she arrived!). When it was time to leave for the ceremony (church off site), the staff made sure that we all made it to the trolley without any issues — which is particularly impressive considering we were a wedding party of 25! When we arrived back at Fiddlers, Meghan was waiting for us with cups of water as she knew it would be time for our photos. She directed us to the most beautiful photo spots around the stunning clubhouse and even got us a golf cart to drive around the course for even more photos. She tended to our every need the entire time and somehow also made sure the cocktail hour was running smoothly at the same time! After our photos, Meghan took my husband and me up to the bridal suite for a private cocktail hour — she brought us our signature drink and an assortment of cocktail hour food. It was delicious and a much needed moment of quiet! During the lively hours of the reception, the staff made sure everything went perfectly. The coordination with the band and photographer was so impressive. They even made a last minute pivot to push speeches back when we noticed that our guests were outside enjoying the beautiful summer sunset! We are still in awe at how well organized and executed the entire day was. And we have gotten so much positive feedback on the structure of the event, ambiance of the venue and tastiness of the food — from cocktail hour through cake and dessert.
The staff was incredibly kind, patient and energized. Most importantly, they were FUN to work with and clearly love what they do. They made our day absolutely perfect and I would relive the entire process 100 times if I could! -

Michelle Sent on 12/28/2024A dream come true!
The Fiddler's Elbow team helped to make our wedding a dream come true! Meg, Marco, Chef Michael, Chef Jonathan, and Anna went so far above and beyond to make our vision come to life. Meg answered emails within hours, no matter what the day was. She spent time answering our questions, giving recommendations, organizing our tasting, allowing us special accommodations, came in on her day off, set up a meeting with the head bartender, and more. Her expertise is UNMATCHED at any venue we looked at! Our cake was simple and elegant, and the flavor/texture was to die for. Highly recommend the red velvet with cream cheese frosting. The cocktail hour through the after-party food is STILL being talked about by our guests, as well as the alcohol selection and wine choices. Every wedding has something minor that the couple would have changed, but we've been married for a few months now and cannot think of a single thing that we would have done differently, all thanks to the Fiddler's team, especially Meg. It was truly a perfect day to celebrate our love, and the entire team treated us like Fiddler's family. We've already recommended Fiddler's as a top wedding venue choice to a few couples and would absolutely recommend to ANYONE that's lucky enough to have this venue as an option. Our heartfelt thanks to the entire Fiddler's Elbow team - we could go on and on about how great they are! -

Julia Sent on 11/23/2024Incredible venue, absolutely recommend!!
Meg, Ainsley, and the entire Fiddler's team were absolutely incredible and made our planning experience and wedding day all that we could have ever hoped for! I cannot say enough good things about our experience with Fiddler's. Our guests are still raving about the food, service, and atmosphere. The natural flow moving from outdoor ceremony to indoor/outdoor cocktail hour, to reception in the ballroom gave us wonderful "different vibes" throughout our night and let us take full advantage of the beautiful manor and property. Meg was there with us every step of the way in planning, guiding us and answering questions. We had a wonderful private tasting that we were able to bring our parents to, and our wedding package included a tremendous amount of (delicious!) food across our cocktail hour and dinner. The staff the day of our wedding were so courteous and helpful. The venue was pristinely clean and we were able to take photos all over, from inside the manor to the beautiful entrance, and on the golf course(s). The bridal suite is excellent- a full front sitting room with great seating and a big beautiful mirror, private bathroom, and second room for hair and makeup. The groom's suite is a bit more basic but more than enough for what the boys need day of! Breakfast, lunch, and a private cocktail hour are all included to make sure family and bridal party is fed and relaxed throughout the day.
During planning I asked Meg a number of times if I needed to hire a day of coordinator, but she always assured me that her team took care of the details day of. Throughout the morning of our wedding while we were getting ready we had a relatively large issue with one of our other vendors and Meg handled it, and resolved it, so well that no one else even knew about it. After our wedding I told my husband(!) that if we had hired a DOC it would have been a waste of money, Meg and team were so great.
I also threw a bit of a wrench in things by being 16 weeks pregnant at our wedding. Most of our guests knew but I did not want our wedding day to be all about our pregnancy. The entire Fiddler's team was so accommodating and discreet, making sure I was extra comfortable and feeling good on our big day! From making sure I had food options during the day to making sure I had a non-alchoholic drink in my champagne glass and even helping us take a sneaky sonogram/announcement picture without our guests even realizing.
I could go on forever with how great our experience was with Fiddler's, I recommend them hands down!!! -

Absolute dream wedding!
Our wedding at Fiddlers Elbow was an absolute dream! This is hands down the most stunning venue, and the staff made the entire experience unforgettable. From the very beginning, Meg was incredible to work with—so organized, calm, and truly dedicated to making the planning process seamless and fun. She thought of every detail and was there every step of the way.
On the wedding day, the entire staff was on their A-game. Meg and Ainsley worked tirelessly throughout the night, balancing professionalism with a relaxing, warm presence that allowed us to fully enjoy the evening without worry. My guests are still raving about the cocktail hour and the beautiful grounds, which were perfect for photos and set the ideal ambiance.
I can’t recommend Fiddler’s enough! I’m already hoping I’ll get to attend a wedding here as a guest one day just to relive the magic. -

10000/10 venue!
Fiddlers Elbow was the perfect venue for our October 2024 wedding! Everything about the venue feels like a fairytale, from the beautiful grounds to the stunning ballroom and delicious food! Meghan, Ainsley, and the team were an absolute pleasure to work with- incredibly organized, thoughtful, accommodating, prompt, and knowledgeable!

Jake Sent on 11/02/2024Fiddler's Elbow is the whole package!
We’re so glad we had our wedding at Fiddler’s Elbow! Fiddler’s is absolutely stunning and Meg was a joy to work with. We booked the venue nearly two years before our wedding and Meg helped us iron out every detail. We didn’t have a planner and truly didn’t need one - Meg and the entire staff were so helpful throughout the process. Our guests raved about the food, setting, and how organized the day was from ceremony to after-party. We would recommend this venue to everyone. With Meg and the Fiddler’s staff on your side, you’re sure to have a great wedding day! Meg was so patient and kind with us and helped us customize our wedding to be exactly the day we envisioned. Fiddler’s Elbow truly is the whole package! Cheers to a great wedding! -

Lorin Sent on 10/21/2024Fantastic venue-July Wedding at Fiddlers Elbow
We had our wedding at Fiddler’s Elbow Country Club, and I cannot recommend this venue enough—it was phenomenal from start to finish! Megan and her assistant were amazing to work with, incredibly friendly, and so helpful throughout the entire planning process. On the day of the wedding, they ensured everything ran smoothly and were incredibly attentive, as were all the other staff members.
Chef Mike absolutely blew us away with the food! The cocktail hour featured a raw bar with oysters, shrimp cocktail, and fresh ceviches, along with passed hors d'oeuvres that had everyone talking. The brisket carving station was a standout—tender and full of flavor—while themed stations offered Asian-inspired dishes and pasta options that were equally fantastic. The dinner entrées, Chateaubriand and Chilean sea bass, were cooked to perfection. The starters were delicious, and the pastry chef delivered an amazing cake and beautifully plated desserts that were both tasty and stunning. The bartenders kept the drinks flowing and service was exceptional throughout the night. Every detail was a culinary delight!
They held a private cocktail hour for the bridal party, and the staff made sure we were always taken care of with plenty of food and drinks, which added such a personal touch to the day. The venue itself is absolutely beautiful, with stunning grounds that provided the perfect backdrop for our photos—every spot was picture-perfect.
From the light breakfast and lunch served while we were getting ready in the morning to the last moments of the reception, everything was flawless. I wouldn’t change a thing. If you're considering Fiddler’s Elbow for your wedding, I highly recommend it—it’s a 20/10 in my book!
A huge thank you to Chef Mike, Megan, and the entire team at Fiddler’s Elbow for making our day so special and unforgettable!

Dream come true wedding venue!
Our wedding at Fiddler's Elbow was absolutely spectacular. I reached out to Meg over a holiday weekend to view the venue and she was so responsive and sent over details about the venue very promptly. From the moment I toured, I knew I wanted to get married at FECC. My family who also viewed the venue felt the same way. Meg and Ainsley were professional, prompt, and kept me updated during the entire planning process. My favorite wedding planning experience was our tasting, where we were able to really appreciate the attention to detail that FECC gives to its weddings. We tried numerous wines, appetizers, entrees, specialty cocktails, and wedding cake options at the tasting and were given the perfect amount of privacy and attention. It was an invaluable experience to us! The wedding itself was absolutely perfect, despite it raining all day, but we were so lucky to have a seasoned staff who knew exactly how to make a rainy wedding day perfect. The food, service, and ambiance were an absolute dream. If we could do it all over again, we would choose FECC every time. -

Our Dream Wedding at Fiddler’s Elbow
We had our dream wedding at Fiddler’s Elbow Country Club this past April. The building and grounds are amazing – sophisticated yet still welcoming to our guests. We had the pleasant surprise of lovely tulips blooming during the time of our wedding which made the ceremony and wedding pictures even more special.
Beyond the building and grounds, the people at Fiddler’s are what truly makes the venue so special. Meg is exceptionally well organized and an excellent communicator . She helped us work through even the smallest of details weeks and months in advance. During the ceremony and reception, Meg and her team not only cared about our guests but us as well – with a timely plate of delicious food or signature cocktail always in hand. They were very conscious about attending to any dietary restrictions as well and our guests felt comforted by their attention to detail.
It's hard to imagine a better venue to have your special day than Fiddler’s. Our guests are still talking about what an amazing wedding we had! -

Fiddler's Elbow is the unicorn of wedding venues. From our initial visit, to the tasting, rehearsal and wedding day, we literally never had to worry about a thing.

We hosted our wedding at Fiddler’s Elbow in July 2023 and it was the most magical experience all thanks to Meg and her team. Fiddler’s Elbow is a stunning venue where we felt like we were in our own private world celebrating the best day of our lives. We trusted Meg with every decision leading up to and on the big day and everything was perfect. Our vision was so meticulously executed and I had complete confidence in Meg and her team to make sure everything ran smoothly. The food was outstanding, the staff were professional and knowledgeable, and all operations were seamless. I even left my bouquet at the end of the night and Meg responded immediately to my frantic email that it was safe in a vase in the fridge for me to pick up the following day. We strongly recommend the pizza truck and espresso martinis at the end of the night. Make the easiest decision of your wedding planning process and book Fiddler’s Elbow! -

Our wedding at Fiddler's Elbow exceeded all expectations! Megan Leese, the event coordinator at Fiddler's, went above-and-beyond to accommodate and coordinate all of our ideas and requests. Fiddler's goes out of their way to make the entire wedding experience special without nickel-and-diming the couple or their family. Once you are there, they truly take care of you! From the private tasting (amazing!) and the day-of mimosa brunch for the bridal party and family, to the private cocktail hour - our experience was nothing short of excellent. The food was great, the add-ons (e.g. martini bar, pizza truck) were fun and allowed us to incorporate our personality, and we are so glad we chose Fiddler's. We opted not to hire a day-of planner and didn't feel that we needed one because the team at Fiddler's is a well-oiled machine with plenty of experience. o detail went overlooked or forgotten. We have no regrets and would do it all over again if we could. -

We had the pleasure of having our wedding reception at Fiddler’s Elbow Country Club in September 2023. We would highly recommend Fiddler’s Elbow CC to any couple looking for for a venue and staff that takes pride in creating a unique and timeless experience for each wedding.
There will never be enough words to thank
Meghan Leese (Wedding & Social Events Manager) and her team! They went above and beyond to make our wedding day more than we could have even dreamed of!
Meghan is an absolute legend! She made the whole process seamless. Her and her team were friendly, professional, patient, extremely accommodating, and just a pleasure to work with. We could have never have done it without Meghan!
Fiddler’s Elbow CC truly provides a unique experience. The fact that they only have one wedding a day is a testament to their dedication to each couple in ensuring their wedding day is nothing but magical. The venue also offers couples and their bridal party the opportunity to get ready the morning of at the venue which is a very nice feature!
Our guests loved the venue and we did too! Our guests are still talking about how good all the food was, how beautiful the venue is, and how friendly all the staff was.

Katherine Sent on 07/24/2023Most incredible venue & experience!
I will never be able to find the words to adequately describe the experience we had with Fiddler's, from the day we first toured to our wedding day in May 2023. The people, food, service -- literally everything -- is TOP NOTCH! Meg is incredibly responsive and helpful throughout the entire planning process, offering advice and guidance, helping with floorplan and design ideas, allowing us to come in several times to look at things, assisting with creation of timelines, executing everything the day of... the list goes on and on!! The estate is SO beautiful and the flow of the event between all the spaces is just perfect. Getting ready there all day on the second floor of the mansion, served breakfast, lunch, and drinks by the lovely staff, we didn't need to worry about a thing! The ballroom is spacious, full of windows and we loved that our band was up on a stage (the acoustics in the room are also amazing which I find is not always the case at some venues!) The private tasting was such a special and memorable evening for us and our families too! On top of tasting the wines and food, we worked with the master mixologist to create and taste our own signature cocktails, and "built" our wedding cake. We had a little over 200 people at our wedding, and everyone was raving about the food (both cocktail hour and meal), drinks, and the service (and they still are months later!). The team really knows what they are doing there, everything is just above and beyond. We cannot recommend Fiddler's enough and only wish we could do our day there over and over again!! -

I can’t thank Fiddler’s enough for helping us create the most perfect day for our wedding. Their grounds are absolutely beautiful- honestly any time of year. Our guests are still talking about the venue and want to hold an event of their own at Fiddler’s!
The ballroom is romantic and intimate yet can hold over 230 guests! The venue also allows only one wedding a day so we had the entire place to ourselves from 8 in the morning until late in the evening. We worked with their wedding coordinator, Meg who was amazing from the very beginning and worked with us every step of the way. Our wedding day was flawless because of her! Thank you again Fiddler’s for the best day we will never forget! -

Ari C. Sent on 11/21/2022Fiddler's Elbow magic
When we visited Fiddler's Elbow for our first tour, we knew it was the place. The beautiful grounds coupled with the attention to detail and dedication Meg Leese gave us from the time we walked in the door, Fiddler's felt like the perfect place the moment we got there. We booked our date for May '22 almost immediately!
Throughout the year, Meg was there supporting us. Any time we had questions, she was quick to respond. She even happily took time out of her day to tour multiple family members throughout the year so everyone had a chance to see the venue! Once wedding planning was in full swing, Meg was a saving grace! She coordinated with our vendors, made our tasting the best experience, and ensured we were prepared for everything (plus the stress!) that wedding planning throws your way.
The day of the wedding was the most magical! Having the venue to yourself as a couple is a really special experience. The staff is incredible at Fiddler's. Although they host dozens and dozens of weddings a year, it truly felt like everyone on the staff was just as excited & happy for us as our own friends & family. They were so professional and also made us so comfortable all day. Anything we needed, someone was there to help.
I cannot recommend Fiddler's Elbow venue and Meg our amazing coordinator enough to any bride-to-be!! -

Katie Sent on 09/27/2022Best wedding ever!
We are so happy with our choice to have our wedding at Fiddler’s Elbow. When we were looking at different venues, we didn’t know how we would chose, but once we met Meg and toured Fiddler’s Elbow we quickly decided it was the best place for our wedding. Compared to any other venue we saw, we trusted Fiddler’s Elbow since we was clear that they were organized, kind and cared about all of the couples getting married. Of course it is also beautiful! We were so lucky to get a Saturday date in 2022 - we barely could find any other dates at any other venue.
From the start, Fiddler’s Elbow was amazing to work with. Meg is extremely helpful in planning our wedding. She provided a great list of vendors and was helpful with any big or small question that we had.
The staff at Fiddler’s Elbow made our wedding weekend amazing (we also had our rehearsal dinner there). Everyone that helped us during that weekend was extremely professional, kind and helpful. They made our wedding weekend easy!
The cocktail hour, ceremony and reception were all perfect. Our guests couldn’t stop gushing over the amazing food, drinks and how beautiful the grounds were. And of course, everyone was in awe of the pizza truck as guests walked out!! -

Cary Sent on 05/20/2022The perfect place for our wedding!
Wow! We cannot recommend FECC enough. Everything about this venue was perfect for our wedding, especially the venue coordinator, Meg. She is fabulous and guided us through the entire process. Meg was responsive, reliable, and helped ensure our wedding day went off without any issue! From the tour, to the white glove tasting, to the actual reception, our wedding experience was comfortable, fun, and truly enjoyable!
The venue itself is gorgeous, and our guests loved the food and atmosphere! We were able to work with the in house Sommelier to bring in some special bottles of wine and liquor, which really made the evening unique. The quality of the food was incredible, guests were able to order tableside, and we actually loved the menu so much we added an extra entree! The cocktail hour was unbelievable, we were blown away at the selection and qulaity of the items.
FECC is an "all-in-one" venue, which means for a single price per head, they take care of almost the entire day! Food and drinks (including morning-of!), servers, bar, linens, reception item set up and break down etc. We LOVED that we didn't have to stay behind at the end of the night to break down and bring back any items (except for gifts/card).
While the venue is expensive, we really did receive the absolute best. We would highly recommend this venue for any couples looking for a wedding venue! -

My husband and I had originally had our date set for September of 2020, but due to covid we wanted to change our date to 2021. This was obviously not what we had ever planned would happen and could have been a very stressful time, however Meg made the process so easy for me. She worked with me to find a new date and assured me she would make sure our day was amazing no matter what! For me, communication is so important and Meg was so easy and wonderful to communicate with! When planning a wedding there is so much to do, and things you don’t even think about, but thankfully Meg was right there guiding me the whole way! She is more than a wedding coordinator to me, she is a friend and I am so blessed to have had her throughout my wedding journey!! The day of our wedding I was also lucky enough to have Lara, their other wedding coordinator that just joined their team who was also so helpful and wonderful!! We truly had the wedding of our dreams!! Fiddler’s grounds are so breathtakingly beautiful, we had our ceremony outside and it was stunning!! The ballroom is so beautiful and romantic, the team does such a wonderful job of keeping everything looking so nice! Their food is outstanding!! Our guests are still talking about how delicious all the food was!! We had our signature drinks which were a huge hit. Everything at Fiddler’s is top of the line, we could not have dreamed of a better wedding venue!! If you are looking for elegance, class, charm, beauty, unbelievable food and drinks, breathtaking views, an incredible wedding coordinator and staff then Fiddler’s is the place for you!! -

I'm not sure 3,500 characters are enough words to truly articulate just how amazing our wedding at Fiddler's Elbow was. My husband and I had seen a few places that were just no right for us, but as soon as we saw Fiddler's we knew right away. Besides the friendliness of everyone we had encountered during our venue tour, the perfectly landscaped grounds and the stunning view overlooking the golf course, wedding coordinator Meg Leese was one of the main reasons we chose Fiddler's for our wedding. She is the kindest, sweetest person ever and so very good at what she does. In fact, after our tour, I am pretty sure I cried tears of happiness and hugged her. She instantly feels like your friend and was the greatest support system during wedding planning - especially since we later had to postpone our wedding. During the year-long wait for our big day, Meg was always there to answer our never ending questions, quell our doubts and anxiety, offer suggestions and send pictures of her cute cat when I was about to go off the deep end. Meg is just one of many people who help to make our day so amazing. Neia is a genius behind the bar. Our guests could not stop talking about our signature cocktails. She somehow made my husbands dream of a bourbon and bacon cocktail come true and it was so good. John, the pastry chef, is amazing at what he does. We loved our cake so much we decided not to freeze the top - we ate it the next day! We couldn't wait a year to eat it again! And the food. Oh my goodness the food! The variety, quantity, and quality were unmatched to the other wedding venues we had looked at. I dream of the truffle mushroom ravioli on a regular basis. The chefs have a true talent! Everyone at Fiddler's is there to make your wedding the best day of your life. Even if it is the third wedding of the weekend, they treat you and your guests as if it is their first. If you are still reading this and I have not convinced you yet, get married at Fiddler's during a time when there is a hot air balloon festival happening in a nearby town. You may be just as lucky as we were to have a tuxedo balloon land during your reception and get to take a ride while all of your family and friends cheer you on. Besides saying "yes" to my husband, Fiddler's was another easy "yes" for us. -

Seriously - the most incredible venue you could choose for your celebration from A+ service, incredible food and gorgeous views. You really can't get better than Fiddler's Elbow.
Being in the wedding industry for many years, I was not an easy Bride to please but this team simply knocked it out of the park. We immediately connected with Meghan when we walked in the door and felt comfortable and excited about having our wedding at Fiddlers. We did have to postpone THREE times due to Covid, but she couldn't have been more understanding, compassionate and flexible during the whole process. I was VERY lucky and I knew then, we chose the right venue.
If you are a foodie - book Fiddler's Elbow. My now husband is a Chef so also - very hard to please. I am pretty sure he licked all the plates at our tasting! The food is incredible and high quality. Cocktail Hour was full, replenished, and everything was fresh. Dinner was also A+ (which is not always the case at wedding venues!). Dessert - if you have the ability to add on a Dessert Station - DO IT! I am a sweet tooth so I couldn't pass this up. Chef John even added in Banana Pudding (The Magnolia Bakery recipe) per my request...amazing!!! Finally - you cannot get married at Fiddler's Elbow without the Pizza Truck. You just can't! Your guests will thank you as they head out. It's also seriously delicious! Think Brick-Oven Pizza right out of the oven...wow.
Finally, I think one of the best features is that Fiddler's only hosts one wedding per day. This is invaluable not only to you, but your vendors as well. It will make you feel more relaxed the day of knowing there is plenty of time to get everything looking perfectly.
Ahhh I wish we could do it all again!!!
Book Fiddler's Elbow without hesitation - I promise, you won't regret it!!! -

Jaime Sent on 10/23/2020Exceptional experience; beautiful facilities, excellent staff, and (actually) delicious food
My husband and I could not speak more highly of Fiddler's Elbow – the attentive staff (particularly Meghan Leese, the wedding coordinator), the beautiful facilities, the delicious food, the overall support and adaptability; truly, everything was exceptional.
To provide some context –
Similar to most couples scheduled to get married in 2020, suffice it to say my husband and I did not have the most seamless wedding experience. After postponing, and ultimately cancelling, the 150 person wedding we had planned at an alternate venue, we made the decision to move forward with an intimate, 20 person wedding, scheduled to take place in late August at Fiddler's Elbow.
Comparatively, planning our impromptu wedding with Meg could not have been any more painless or stress-free. She personalized the entire experience in a way our original venue did not. Responding quickly to our daily emails, Meg – and Fiddler’s Elbow – were incredibly flexible, open to exploring any and all options as we worked to plan a day that was in compliance with CDC guidelines, that would also make us, and our guests, feel safe and comfortable.
What is so remarkable to me is that our wedding day was simultaneously one of the most special, and most normal, days of our lives. Fiddler’s Elbow subtly managed all aspects of the day in a way that ensured everyone’s safety, but that also made it easy to forget the restrictions in place during the pandemic.
Truly, the entire day could not have been more perfect. From the moment we arrived on site to ‘get ready’ in the bridal and groomsmen suites, through the ceremony, the first dances, the speeches, and finally to the cake cutting. All of our guests raved about the venue, the support, and the food, and my husband whole heartedly agree with their sentiments.

Fiddler's Elbow is the most beautiful venue I have ever been to with an even more amazing staff. Meghan was so unbelievably helpful and knowledgeable through every step of the planning process. Our wedding reception unfortunately fell in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. However, Meghan and the FE staff were incredibly accommodating and thoughtful. 110% recommend to any couple considering a New Jersey venue. -

S S Sent on 02/22/2020Amazing venue, outstanding team!
We had our wedding at Fiddler’s Elbow Country Club in Bedminster, NJ, and we could not be happier with that decision! It was the perfect venue for a wedding - beautiful outdoor and indoor spaces, experienced and accommodating team/staff, excellent food and drinks, great overall vibe, and more. In short - we would highly recommend Fiddler’s Elbow as a wedding venue!! We took our wedding venue searching very seriously - we visited 20 venues mainly across NJ (with a few in Brooklyn) not to mention the others we screened but didn’t visit. It became clear by the end of our search that Fiddler’s Elbow was the venue that had the best offering overall and that provided good value as well for the great service and experience they provide. Meg, the very talented events coordinator at Fiddler’s, was so amazing to work with! She is positive, pleasant, and patient, in addition to being experienced and having tons of good ideas and advice. Meg was so helpful and organized throughout the planning process. Meg and the entire Fiddler’s team and staff were really fantastic on the wedding day, making sure that everything went off without a snag and just as we had requested. Meg especially was a superstar. We were able to focus on enjoying the day and trusted the Fiddler’s team entirely. The outdoor space for the ceremony is really lovely, there are spectacular options for photo ops, the getting ready spaces were perfect, and the ballroom is great with a high ceiling, sizable dance floor (so important!) and raised stage for your DJ or band. And one of our favorite things about the venue space is the outdoor space for the cocktail hour - it is a large area covered by an awning, so you can have your cocktail hour outside even if you get rain (really reassuring)! Having a venue with great food and beverages was really important to us, and Fiddler’s definitely delivered! All the food at cocktail hour, the four-course dinner, and the cake were excellent. The chef was awesome and very helpful during our tasting, and the team was great about handling my husband and some of his family members’ celiac disease (gluten allergy). The signature cocktails that Fiddler’s created for us based on our guidance and tasting were so delicious (shout out to the talented Jeneva)! As is evident from this glowing review, we sincerely recommend Fiddler’s Elbow as a wedding venue - it will provide you with a site, team, and experience that can’t be beat! -

The Perfect Day!
We could not have lucked out any more by choosing Fiddler's Elbow as our wedding venue! To start, the ballroom and clubhouse were spectacular and decorated exactly how we dreamed. The coordination of vendors with the staff at Fiddler's went without any hiccups. It all starts with Meghan who was helpful every step of the way from planning decorations, themes, and room layouts to taking care of us and letting us enjoy every moment of our special day. She is a superstar and truly made our day more memorable. Big thanks to Michael & Kyle and their staff for attentively taking care of us and our guests. Everyone was wowed by the service and attention to detail that we received. Also a special thanks for Chef Michael and his creative menu. He was able to accommodate all of our food requests and even came up with some special items that we were looking for. Both the food during the reception and the stations at our cocktail hour were magnificent and had people talking about them for weeks! Also thanks to Jeneva at the bar who we spoke with to create His and Her's cocktails for our guests. They were incredible and were aged in mini barrels which was unique and something that a lot of people hadn't seen before. We asked everyone to sign the barrels and got to keep them! Thank you to everyone we haven't mentioned and the people we know worked exceptionally hard to make our day a special day! We look forward to celebrating more milestones at Fiddler's in the future!! -

Fiddler’s Elbow was absolutely amazing. From start to finish they delivered on everything from the amazing food, tentative and polite staff, cocktails, and the most beautiful venue. Fiddler’s wedding coordinator, Meghan Lease, is amazing to work with and is extremely thorough and dedicated to making sure the bride, groom, family and friends are all taken care of and have the most magical, worry and stress free day! -

Fiddler's Elbow CC greatly impressed us on every level!
As a mother of the bride, I had the joy of accompanying my daughter and fiancé to several New Jersey venues – while they searched for the perfect place to have their June wedding. Fiddler’s Elbow Country Club is that perfect place.
Their criteria:
1. Ceremony & reception in one location.
2. An alternative indoor or covered location for the ceremony in case of foul weather (that would not affect the reception set up)
3. Venue to host only one (wedding) event and
a. The location should be unique, welcoming & elegant
4. Ballroom with high ceilings and large enough to accommodate 200 guests & good acoustics
5. The stage for a 9-piece band equipped with a top-notch sound system
6. Excellent reputation for culinary cuisine
7. Excellent reputation for personalized service
8. Comfortable bridal and groom suites exclusively available to prepare for a day of
9. Reasonably priced
Fiddler’s Elbow Country Club met all of the above criteria – and so much more. Fiddler’s Elbow CC greatly impressed all of us on every level:
Lenny and the other security gentlemen at the guardhouse consistently welcomed us (& guests) with warm “hello’s.”
The grounds crew and landscapers do an excellent job maintaining the lush green lawns and beautiful gardens. The ride to the English manor clubhouse is dramatic and the views from the clubhouse and ballroom are spectacular!
Every staff member that we interacted with was professional, courteous and helpful, which you expect of course, but their earnest and immediate assistance made them exceptional. Everyone appeared to genuinely enjoy their job and seemed invested in making our experience as special as we envisioned it to be.
Michael Weisshaupt, Fiddler’s Elbow Executive Chef, offered outstanding menu selections to choose (at the tasting) and every guest raved about their meals, as well as the abundant and delicious hors-d'oeuvres (& pizza from the pizza truck) passed during the cocktail hour. The seafood display was magnificent, and personally, the Chateaubriand was the best we have ever tasted. It was a culinary experience.
Also impressive was the wine selection. During the tasting, Michael Nyerges, Clubhouse Manager and Sommelier introduced wines he suggested to pair with the menu choices and explained why he chose this particular California vineyard. Several of our “wine connoisseur” guests raved about the choices (especially the Cabernet Sauvignon) and one couple made it a point to visit the Alexander Valley Vineyard on their recent trip to Napa.
The chocolate wedding cake that was created by your pastry chef was delicious and stunning! The tiers, frosting/fondant and floral decorations were so beautiful that our daughter decided not to use her cake topper because it would take away from the cake’s elegant details. The pastry chef is excellent.
The signature cocktails were very well received – thanks to the guidance of your mixologist and bartenders. And I wish to acknowledge additional staff members that assisted me, in addition to the bride & groom: Brenda who assisted us during the day in the bridal suite and set up (and the following day when we arrived to collect boxes of décor); Kelly who attended to us during the reception and Abigale (Abby) who oversaw ‘tear down’ (bubble wrapping and packaging ALL the glass vases, photo frames, and décor we brought) after the reception was over. Kyle, the Maître’d also did an outstanding job supervising the waitstaff to ensure all 170+ meals were efficiently and accurately presented. Kyle also attended to the bride & groom throughout the evening, making sure they were fed, hydrated and happy.
As if the breathtaking views, creative cuisine, and impeccable service are not enough … the facility and amenities are outstanding and available for the entire day, with breakfast and lunch included. The bridesmaids had hair and makeup done in a comfortable and spacious bridal suite and groomsmen dressed down the hall in a conference suite (after a friendly game of pickleball). Prior to the wedding day, the groom, dads, and a few groomsmen enjoyed a golf outing on one of the 3 championship courses.
However, the real rock star is Meghan (Meg) Leese, the Wedding and Social Events Coordinator for Fiddler’s Elbow Country Club. She has a warm, gentle presence and her experience is quite evident. She asks the right questions so she can understand the bride and groom’s vision, resulting in outstanding personalized service – and delivering a wedding of their dreams. She was there for every step of the way – the day of – and assisting with the planning and details. She replied promptly to emails and if she did not have an immediate answer she acknowledged the email was received and would have an answer later. Meg was the point person; she coordinated flower deliveries, photographer, videographer, hair and makeup schedules, as well as the set up for the nine-piece band. She personally set up the place cards and oversaw décor placement. It seemed nothing was impossible; Meg made everything happen – smoothly and skillfully. -

Jeanne Sent on 06/02/2019Fantastic People, Wonderful Wedding Venue
From the beginning to end, our experience at Fiddler's was exceptional.
First, the event design: Working with Meghan, Fiddler's consummate wedding coordinator, was a wonderful experience in all aspects. Through the months of planning together, we were continually impressed with her professionalism, creativity, and attention to every detail, no matter how small or large. Meg's willingness to work with some of our ideas (we wanted to customize the event with our own touches to ) made the process smooth and eased our level of stress throughout. No matter what the request or concern was, Meg was there to answer our questions, and always went the extra mile!
Second, the gourmet food: Kyle, the banquet manager, was also most attentive to our requests and needs, from our initial tasting evening, to the event itself. The food was spectacular as well as plentiful, from hors d'oeuvres to the sit down dinner, and beautifully presented; from an Asian fusion station to a pizza truck, and too many other hors d’oeuvres to mention, to chateaubriand or sea bass perfectly prepared for each guest..Based on a photo inspiration from our daughter, and Fiddler’s option to choose your own cake and filling, the Fiddler's pastry chef created the perfect custom cake!...all the way around, it was a spectacular event...from start to finish. The staff operates like a well oiled machine, and many of our guests took notice at how effortlessly they served us our different courses throughout the evening.
Third, the facility and amenities: When you have your wedding at Fiddler’s, you have access to the club for the whole day…the whole bridal party was in the lap of luxury in the bridal suite, as they prepared for the wedding ceremony, and groomsmen in their own gentlemen’s suite…breakfast and lunch being provided in beautiful and private surroundings. Our daughter’s wedding was offsight and upon our return to Fiddler’s we encountered a thunderstorm at the beginning of what was supposed to be outdoor family photo time.. once the shower passed, Meg didn’t miss a beat and handled our arriving guests, and even provided towels so the photos could go on outside without any issue to the bride’s gown…WOW! We are still over the moon, and couldn't be happier!! Thank you Fiddler's!!
