Indian Trail Club Reviews

I’m in love with this venue and have been since the moment I found it online. By doing a simple Google search of “Best cocktail hour”, we found the venue of our dreams. It really was a fairytale wedding! The grounds of ITC are magnificent. Their lake side venue makes the most romantic view. We were lucky to have our ceremony outside and the water from the lake was sparkling behind us as we said “I do”. The cocktail hour was insane!! We received so many compliments on the food, the quantity and quality of the food. The entrees were hot and consistent. Debbie is a pleasure to work with and really helps create your vision. Dana was also a huge help and makes sure you have everything you could possibly need. The entire staff were friendly and professional. We are so happy to have had our wedding at ITC. It was a beautiful day. We wouldn’t change a thing!

We just had our wedding here on December 9th and couldn't be happier with how everything went. From the first time we viewed the venue through picking everything up after the wedding- everyone we encountered was absolutely accommodating and friendly. Debbie and Phyllis made all of our visions come to life! They made all of the planning so easy and seamless! It snowed on the big day and everything still went off without a hitch! We did a stations dinner and I have a dairy allergy which makes things difficult. The chef went out of his way to make sure I was comfortable with what foods I could eat- our attendant that evening even made me my own plate of 'safe' food! All of our guests raved about the food, drinks, atmosphere, and service! You will NOT be disappointed with any event you choose to have here! THANK YOU!

We had our wedding at the Indian Trail Club in September 2021 and we could not have been happier with the venue. Debbie and Dana and the entire staff were so helpful and accommodating during the entire wedding planning process, and they remained very flexible for us during the uncertainties of COVID. The entire team at Indian Trail Club is so pleasant to work with, friendly, and responsive. From the outdoor ceremony on the Lake to the beautiful reception room, the venue was picture-perfect beautiful on our wedding day. The food was amazing, too. We had several wedding guests rave to us about the food and say how it was the best wedding food they have ever had. They offered customizable menu options and let us personalize the entire day to our liking. I highly recommend the Indian Trail Club!

Where to even start! Debbie and Dana truly make everything so easy. They respond to texts, emails and calls so fast. I never felt lost or confused during any of the process. The day of it looked like it may rain but they always had my dream of a ceremony out on the lake top of mind. We had the best day ever thanks to all of the staff! The venue is absolutely beautiful. So many locations for great photos. Book this venue!!

This venue is a hidden gem and if you are looking for a beautiful venue with attentive staff, gorgeous water views, delicious food with an extensive cocktail hour, personalized attention with one wedding a day and really just an overall wonderful experience book ITC immediately. We had to change our date twice due to COVID and not once were we given a hard time or charged any additional fees. Our wedding date moved from 2020 to 2021 and the cost per person remained the same. Debbie and Dana are responsive and walk you through every step leading up to the wedding and ensure that the day of your event runs without issue. I never felt a need to hire a day of coordinator as Debbie and Dana were thorough with all their communication and available for anything we needed. I left Dana with a packet of my decor layout and when I arrived at 8:00am the day of the wedding it was already set up exactly as I requested. The option to have both breakfast and lunch catered for the bridal party on the day of is perfect and myself and my bridal party loved the spreads provided.

Although the bridal suite is small and does not have great lighting, because you are the only event on site, hair and make-up are able to be set up in the bar area with huge windows and great natural light. There is lots of space and several lounge chairs for the bridal party to sit, relax and they can eat nearby while waiting their turn for services. Our bridal party stored any belongings we needed in the bridal suite, took advantage of having the private bathroom and popped in there as needed throughout the night as it’s conveniently located near the reception space. My bridal attendants, Josephine (AM) and Bonita (PM) were both extremely attentive and ensured we had whatever we needed at all times. Bonita boxed up extra cocktail hour food for us and checked on us consistently throughout the night. Aside from being attentive, Bonita had an excellent positive attitude and truly seemed happy to make sure we were enjoying our day.

Our guests RAVED about the food - especially cocktail hour. Our per person price included an open bar, 5 stations of our choice and 10 passed appetizers plus a farmhouse charcuterie table. The BBQ and Asian stations were a huge hit and guests really enjoyed all the variety amongst the passed apps. Our guests were all very impressed by the serving staff and said that not once did they have to ask for anything and always had full glasses of wine and water. I could write a novel about ITC and it wouldn’t be enough to describe how perfect they made our day!

If you are reading this review because you’ve come across Indian Trail Club, drop everything and book this hidden gem ASAP! Indian Trail Club is an absolute dream. Debbie, Dana, and the entire ITC staff are truly incredible and make your day run seamlessly. I booked Indian Trail Club in December 2018 for an October 2020 wedding. Through the planning process, Debbie and Dana were always available to answer all of my questions no matter how big or small. When the pandemic hit and we decided to postpone our wedding, Debbie simply moved the date to August 2021, no questions asked and no additional charges.

The venue, the views, and the grounds are gorgeous. If you are getting married on-site, the views from the lake are breathtaking. The best part is that you can take pictures anywhere on site. You even have the option to take pictures on the beach or dock.

The food is on another level. The chef is just as much a part of your day as Debbie and Dana. We were able to meet him at the food tasting and discuss all of the food options for the wedding. We even met with him at our final meeting where we made some minor changes to the dessert options to help fit our style a little more. The cocktail hour consists of stations and passed Hor’dourves. The options are endless! Believe me when I say that you and your guests will not leave cocktail hour hungry. Our guests are still raving about the food!

On the day of the wedding, you truly don’t have to worry about one single thing. Debbie and Dana take care of everything and make sure your day runs as smoothly as ever. I couldn’t have asked for a more perfect day. If you’re considering booking Indian Trail Club, do it! I promise you it will totally surpass all of your expectations.

To Debbie, Dana, & the entire ITC Team - Thank you for making all of our wedding dreams come true. Our day was absolutely perfect because of all of you!

When I tell you that Indian trail club is the most amazing venue, I’m not kidding. Dana and Debbie were absolutely amazing to work with and made our entire wedding process seamless. Given the many changing restrictions and guidelines, they had a backup plan for everything and were so accommodating! Luckily, all restrictions were lifted and our day was an absolute dream come true. My wedding vision was executed perfectly with Dana and Debbie going above and beyond for us. Everyone keeps raving about how beautiful the venue was, how amazing the food was, and how great the service was overall! The cocktail hour was AWESOME. I’ve never seen anything like it. Indian trail club definitely made our wedding the best day ever. It’s such a hidden gem that I will recommend over and over again forever!!

Debbie at Indian trail was so informative and professional. She made it easy for us to fall in love with our dream venue.

The Indian Trail Club is an absolute DREAM. Dana and Debbie, as well as the rest of the staff at the Indian Trail Club, were so amazing to work with day of and throughout the entire wedding planning process. Everyone at the ITC is so attentive, personable, and professional. They worked so hard to make sure everything went smoothly so that we had the best wedding day imaginable. Planning a wedding during a pandemic was stressful, but Dana and Debbie made it so much easier. They were always there to answer our questions and put us at ease. Roxana, our Bridal Attendant, was also so attentive throughout the entire day! She was constantly there for us, making sure we had everything we needed. My husband and I talk about how sad we are that our wedding is over every single day! I wish we could do it again!

The Indian Trail Club is the best venue in NJ and we feel so fortunate to have had our wedding there. The space is absolutely beautiful- we barely needed to decorate. We appreciated being able to use lanterns, table numbers, easels, etc. provided by the ITC. The ceremony views and the view from the ballroom are breathtaking. Our guests loved having the option to hangout in the ballroom, by the bar, or outside on the patio.

I got ready with my mom, MIL, and bridesmaids in the bridal suite and by the bar area. The natural lighting was incredible by the bar! I also ordered a bridal bites platter for my girls for lunch. The wraps and salads were absolutely delicious!

I cannot get over how amazing the food was! The cocktail hour was so impressive and the staff made sure to have a platter for my husband and me in the bridal suite. I am seriously still dreaming about that Italian station!! Our guests have been non-stop raving about the cocktail hour and their meals. We've had so many people tell us it was the best wedding, best food, and most beautiful venue they've been to. A special shoutout to the chef for the incredible menu and the bartenders for the delicious cocktails (our guests especially loved the espresso martinis!). I'm crossing my fingers we get the opportunity to attend a wedding at ITC as guests one day!

The Indian Trail Club is truly a hidden gem. It was our dream venue and our day would not have been as perfect if we had gotten married somewhere else. Everything went better than we could have even imagined, especially with the restrictions being lifted and the beautiful weather. I could go on and on about how perfect our day was because of Dana, Debbie, and the Indian Trail Club.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making our day magical and memorable. If we could do it all over again, we wouldn't change a thing.

Debbie and Dana were AMAZING! We had a micro wedding ceremony here outside by the lake in November of this year. We got extremely lucky with the weather but additionally they put me at ease on wedding day. We used the bridal suite and cocktail area to get ready and have breakfast and mimosas! It was nice and relaxed which was just what I needed. They helped me plan seating and the flow of the ceremony prior to the event. They gave many suggestions regarding music and decor. The grounds were beautiful and well taken care of. Our pictures came out great!

I love our venue so much. It is such a beautiful place and the wedding coordinators, Dana and Debbie, are great to work with! They were super responsive to all of my questions and so nice. They really know what they are doing and the day ran smoothly without any hiccups. The venue and grounds are so gorgeous, we had our ceremony right on the lake there, and the whole ballroom offers beautiful views of it. I did not want the typical wedding venue with carpeting, etc.. and ITC had the perfect rustic yet elegant design. It really did not need many decorations but the pieces I did bring were set up perfectly by Dana and Debbie and they also have so many lanterns and things like that on site that you can use. The food was amazing from cocktail hour to our entrees. Cocktail hour has so many options and they decorate the stations to really take it above and beyond. I am so happy with our venue choice, there’s not a single thing I would change about it, we received sooo many compliments on how pretty it was and how great the food was.

Debbie and Dana are life savers! They patiently work with you every step of the way leading up to the big day. The venue is absolutely gorgeous and their team handles the entire setup and also provides a night-of attendant. The food is also phenomenal - our guests are still raving!

Indian Trail club is a beautiful venue for a wedding. Debbie is great to work with. Our wedding is coming up in 9 months and we are so excited. She is so attentive with all questions. Will update after wedding!

How do you describe a dream come true?! Before my husband and I started wedding planning, we made a “Wedding Vision List.” We might as well have been crafting the description of Indian Trail Club! We wanted a “Scandinavian-rustic-chic wedding that made you feel like you were getting a hug that made you want to party.” A bit unique, sure, but Indian Trail Club delivered on ALL of this! During our initial visit, we were greeted by Dana who would quickly become our coordinator/guide/confidant/friend. Dana is a true angel woman deserving of her own review page filled with millions of 5+ star reviews! She is knowledgeable, honest, kind, empathetic, creative, bubbly, warm, responsive, and endlessly patient; Dana is the person you want to accompany you on your wedding journey. Every subsequent visit to ITC - visiting the venue, signing, food tasting, etc - made us more and more excited and grateful that we were getting married there. The wait staff at the food tasting were the cheerleaders of the food - they got us jazzed to eat and jazzed to have them onboard for our wedding. And the food….THE FOOD! My husband and I committed to eating on our wedding day - there would be no stopping us, and let me tell you, there wasn’t and with very good reason. The food is plentiful and PHENOMENAL. Every. Single. Bite. Our wedding attendant, Beth - another bubbly and positive angel woman goddess! - and Dana made sure that we took time alone with each other, drinks, and food. Furthermore, if people are judgy and sassy about one thing at a wedding it is the food. This is not the case at all with Indian Trail Club. The night of our wedding, the day after our wedding, months after our wedding: we are still hearing about the food! I DREAM about the grilled cheese sandwiches with tomato soups. Working with Dana, Debbie, and the entire Indian Trail family was easy, flexible, and fun. Wedding planning is stressful, but calm exists with Indian Trail Club. I could truly go on forever, but the major takeaway: Indian Trail Club is pure magic. I want to do it all over, again, exactly the same :)

I literally just had my wedding 2 days ago but had to write a review because I had the most amazing day of my life. from jump street Dana & Debbie were super flexible & open to all my ideas & concerns. They were both very responsive and helpful throughout the 1yr and 1/2 of planning I did. During the day of I felt so great from the moment I arrived at 9am for bridal breakfast/ hair & make-up till I left for church across the street & then back again for the reception. I cant even begin to tell you how amazing the chef is either! The food was absolutely incredible! We ate so much during our cocktail hour & we did a duet for dinner of filet mingion & lobster tail which everyone loved! I have gotten a ridiculous amount of texts & phone calls about how great the wedding was & that they hope someone else gets married here because they had a blast!. Thank you to the entire team at ITC, your all amazing people. Keep up the great work & I hope to be invited to a wedding there one day so I can enjoy it from a guests perspective. All my best!

There isn't enough space on Wedding Wire for me to articulate how wonderful our experience was with Indian Trail Club. I was lucky enough to stumble upon this location after a long and exhausting searching for a venue, and the minute my fiance and I walked in for our first meeting, we knew it was the place for us. The decor and style is light, airy and modern, the staff is kind, attentive and eager to please, the food is beyond delicious and the management team cannot be matched! Dana and Debbie answered all of our questions and met all of our asks with ease and ran the show for the day-of so seamlessly. They helped arrange all of our special details exactly to our specifications. Every guest who came up to us made a point to tell us that it was among the best weddings they'd ever attended and could not stop raving about the service and experience. We hope that we could one day attend a wedding at Indian Trail as guests so that we could have the full experience there. Thank you Dana and Debbie for everything!

Top notch - Bucolic setting, elegant finishes, excellent service. Debbie the manager is bar none the best wedding planner out there. She made our wedding a spectacular night to remember

I had never heard of Indian Trail Club prior to planning my wedding, and went on a whim after an online search. Immediately I was BLOWN away. North Jersey is full of typical grand ballroom type places with cold marble statues etc--typical wedding factories. That is NOT the case at Indian Trail Club. It is warm, inviting, and a beautiful lakeside venue. It feels like a hidden gem in our area. The service here is absolutely unmatched. Debbie and Dana answer all phone calls and emails immediately and will work with you no matter what your problem or request is. We were supposed to have tall centerpieces at the wedding and the florist forgot the vases. Debbie immediately began searching their storage and found a full set of tall glass vases to place the centerpieces on. This is just one example of her devotion to her clients. The food was unbelievable. So fresh, so many choices. Valentina, my bridal assistant, was an absolute gem and helped me all night. The outside seating and fire pits were a huge bonus and many guests utilized this seating during cocktail hour. I had so many people come up to me after the wedding and say they couldn't believe how incredible ITC is. I could go on and on about Indian Trail Club, but suffice to say, this place is easily the best of the best. If you want a unique wedding nobody will ever forget, this is the place

Debbie, Dana and the entire Indian Trail Club team are true professionals! From our first visit to ITC and its beautiful backdrop, we knew this was the place we wanted to get married. But little did we know how lucky we were in our 1.5+ years of wedding planning of the quality of service the ITC team would provide. Any couple planning a wedding knows the level of detail involved, but never once did we have to worry about any of the details related to our venue and catering. Debbie and Dana were always on top of everything and SO responsive - they had a answer or solution to anything! We were already blown away by the service and support of ITC even before our wedding day!

When it came to the big day, ITC exceeded all of our expectations. From Kelly helping make sure we kept hydrated and well-fed throughout the day to Debbie / Dana making sure we hit each moment on our timeline, their service was impeccable. And what stood out most to us was the quality of service demonstrated during our ceremony. In the moments leading up to us walking down the aisle, an impending storm was on its way. We decided to move forward with an outdoor ceremony, but as the forecast predicted, rain and then a torrential storm made its way to Franklin Lakes - in the middle of our ceremony. The ITC staff was prepared and set up for both scenarios and quickly rushed our guests inside and reconfigured our ceremony decorations like pros. They didn't miss a beat and literally coordinated a two-in-one ceremony on the spot. We cannot thank the staff enough for making this happen!

Indian Trail Club is a true gem - our guests are still raving about the beautiful venue, AMAZING food (especially at cocktail hour - many of them thought it was the main dinner) and even the staff! We had several guests comment of the professionalism and service delivered by the ITC team!

Thank you again to Debbie, Dana and ITC for an unforgettable day. We enjoyed working with you and hope to visit again soon - perhaps next time as guests!

As the Parents of the Bride we would highly recommend The Lake House at Indian Trail. The Bride & Groom live in LA and decided to have their wedding home in New Jersey. We were so excited to suggest and show The Lake House at Indian Trail to our children after looking at about 6 other venues (by FaceTime). They loved it as well! How could you not? The setting is just beautiful on the lake.
We of course intended to have the ceremony outside by the lake, well, even though it was set up, arbor & all, Mother Nature decided to rain last minute. Like magic, the whole staff went into action and within 15 minutes the room was set up (arbor included) and my daughter was walking down the aisle. They told us they could do this at our initial meeting, but we didn't really believe it could happen that quickly. The whole staff is truly amazing!
The reception room is just lovely surrounded by all windows overlooking the lake and fireplaces at each end. Dana and Debbie were so wonderful before & the day of the wedding. They really are Professionals, with a capital P! They could not do enough to help with the planning. Dana was incredible with her quick responses to our call and emails. I cannot say enough about her. By the end of the process she felt like family. The food was unbelievable, all our guests are still raving about it.
But the best compliment we received was when my daughter, the bride, at the end of the night, thanked us for giving her the wedding of her dreams! Book the Lake House you will not be disappointed.

Our daughter's wedding reception took place at the Indian Trail Club last weekend, and it was a dream come true. The setting is breathtaking, our guests are STILL raving over the food, and the staff there, starting with Deb Pagerie who managed our reception, was so welcoming and kind and took care of every single detail. They gave our daughter and new son-in-law the wedding reception of their dreams - we've had so many people say it was the most beautiful and delicious reception they have ever been to. I can't even say how grateful I am to Deb and her team for making this event one that was perfect in every way, and that we will all remember forever!

Dana is ABSOLUTELY amazing! Their attention to detail, along with the staff is absolutely amazing. Everyone is so friendly and accommodating. Also how can we forget the FOOD. Everyone raved about how amazing the cocktail hour was, along with how amazing their entree was. My husband and I looked at numerous vendors but we are SO happy we decided on Indian Trail. Also can’t forget the amazing backdrop, no matter what season.

I couldn’t be happier how my wedding turned out! Debbie, Dana and Liz made the night spectacular. Everyone raves about the food and the beauty of the venue. Wouldn’t have changed a thing! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!

My husband and I had our wedding at Indian Trail Club at the end of September 2018. I cannot say enough nice things about the venue and staff. Our guests were floored with the food, ambience and beauty of the venue. The coordinators, Debbie and Dana, were a pleasure to work with. They go above and beyond their job descriptions. I didn’t even need a wedding planner! They ensured the whole night went smoothly and were there every step of the way, start to finish. They really went above and beyond. My wedding attendant, Liz, was also wonderful and made sure all my needs were met. The venue is elegant and modern, and in pristine condition. The food is of the highest restaurant quality, I highly recommend the filet and seabass. We were married down near the lake during sunset, we could not have asked for a more beautiful backdrop. It was a day we will never forget! Insiders tip: the venue is stunning if you prefer a fall wedding. I would recommend Indian Trail Club to anyone for their wedding, you will not be disappointed. It’s easy to see why this venue is booked solid.
