    Incredible venue!

    I have to say - BEST WEDDING EVER!!!!!!!! So - we just had our son's rehearsal dinner AND wedding reception at The Estate at Eagle Lake this past Thursday and Friday. What can I say - if 10 star reviews were possible - they would get them!!!! From the moment we planned the festivities, both Scott and Brianna left us with absolutely NO WORRIES! The planning was effortless and the way Scott, Brianna and their staff went above and beyond is something that is unusual in todays day and age. The bride's parents worked with Summit Catering - and the food was SOOO GOOD and the service was exceptional! Very rare to have everything made from scratch! The other venue staff, day of (Linda, Chip, Kim and Ray) - SO attentive to detail! Anyone needing special assistance - they were there before anyone could ask! And everyone always had a smile on their face! DJ Stevie kept the part going, and the dance floor was NEVER empty. If you are looking for a venue and a caterer for the BEST day of your lives - you would be remiss to not go to Estate at Eagle Lake and Summit Catering - you cannot go wrong!!! FIRST CLASS!!!!

    5 stars, stunning venue!!!!

    We knew from the moment we saw The Estate at Eagle Lake(EEL), we knew it was our venue! We met with Brianna in January, knowing the grounds were bare but still had that feeling & man it did not disappoint. We got married in October and the amount of foliage and all of the colors throughout the grounds were stunning!! Scott, the owner does not let moss grow on his feet, as they are always making upgrade to the facility. The lake front Ceremony was stunning, the cocktail hour area upstairs was adored by all, we had guests all around the fire pits on the beach & the building and tent felt like a ballroom with the lights and chandeliers! Our pictures were a dream at the swing and out in the field!
    I seriously cannot thank Brianna enough for always answering emails or texts, allowing us to come on site to meet with DJ Stevie, see the tent set up for a wedding and even schedule our engagement shoot throughout the grounds! She has a list of vendors they worked with directly and we hired someone from each category because they know the venue inside and out!
    She unpacked all of our boxes and set up our decor perfectly! She hit the hammer on the head and made our day so romantic and special.
    Absolutely 5 stars!!!!

    Our Wedding Day

    The Estate at Eagle Lake was the first and only venue we looked at for our wedding. It was truly love at first sight. Brianna and Scott are an absolute pleasure to deal with and have really invested their all into this venue. On top of that, Brianna is a miracle worker and will GET THINGS DONE. Our wedding went off without a hitch and all of our guests raved about the beauty of the venue. They utilized every space the venue has to offer from the rooftop to the beach on the lake and everything in between. This venue is truly for those who want to exercise total creativity over their wedding day. Take advantage of everything the venue has to offer and you’ll have your own unique wedding story to tell. We will never be able to thank Brianna and Scott enough for the experience we had, and we will always recommend the Estate at Eagle Lake to our friends and family.

    The best venue!


    I had my wedding at the Estate at Eagle Lake and could not have been happier. The venue is perfect for any style wedding and I’ve had so many guest compliment how beautiful it was! Everyone is so friendly and willing to help as well. I had the perfect day and am so grateful for everyone involved!

    Absolutely a beautiful place to have a wedding!

    We had our daughters wedding here on August 7, 2021. Everything from the location with the beautiful gardens and lake to the bridal suite and grooms suite was wonderful! It is extra special having the venue for the whole day and not having to share it with anyone else. Which meant the bridal suite was ours from 8 am- 10 pm. Brianna was very helpful, especially finding us this date! Everything went smoothly, and it made for a memorable day. The staff was great, especially the gentlemen who drove the golf carts to escort people to the cocktail hour on the upper hill. It is such a special place tucked away. I didn't know there was a lake there until turning into the driveway. I would definitely recommend The Estate at Eagle Lake to any bride who wants her day to be extra special and not have to share it with other weddings!

    Sweet, Real and Comforting

    Meeting Scott, the owner of The Estate at Eagle Lake, was awesome. It was like meeting an uncle of mine, who is so proud of his property and the work he has done and the history behind it. Also, the landscape is beautiful and calming and the tent itself is basically a blank slate to do whatever you want. The "bunker," (the building part of the venue) is modernly done with a bridal suite/salon that is beautiful. Can't wait to sign our contract!

    The Estate at Eagle Lake's reply:

    What a pleasure to welcome you to our family at Eagle Lake. Thank you for the kind words and for taking the time to write this. Can't wait to see you again! Scott

    9/12/20 Geary Wedding

    Gorgeous location, landscape and gardens very well kept. Rustic, garden vibe with super cute happy hour area with lake overlook and large tent for reception. Extremely good value for cost. Scott and Brianna were very easy to work with and responsive. Would recommend to anyone, the venue received nothing but great reviews from all our guests. Only downside, music has to be turned off at 10pm.

    HIGHLY recommended!!


    I don’t even know where to begin to share what an amazing experience we had with having our daughter’s wedding at The Estate at Eagle Lake. We found out three weeks before her wedding day that her original venue could no longer accommodate us. The next day, I scoured the internet looking for outdoor wedding venues and came across Eagle Lake. We contacted them and were able to schedule a tour the following day. My daughter lives out of state so only my husband and I were able to tour. Brianna showed us around and we briefly met the owner, Scott, while walking in the garden. We loved the location and all the amenities that came with the property. We had one other venue to tour that afternoon, but we knew Eagle Lake was a strong contender. After touring the other location, we called our daughter and highly recommended they go with Eagle Lake. We were not one bit disappointed with that decision. We honestly wished we knew about Eagle Lake last year before the original venue was booked. The attention to detail that Scott has laboriously put into his property is very evident. From the ceremony location by the lake, to the fountain going off when the couple says “I do”, to the beautiful landscaping of the lawn and gardens, to the beach area and dock, to the AMAZING bridal AND groom suites provided a truly perfect and relaxing day. Two days before the wedding, a hurricane came through New Jersey and Eagle Lake lost power and had significant tree damage and loss. Scott, Brianna and their crew worked around the clock to ensure that the property was cleaned up and power was restored so that our daughter’s wedding took place. Scott was still cleaning up the day of the wedding and made sure everything looked great. I can’t thank them enough for all that they did. They were attentive and gracious, even when they must have been exhausted. The weather kept changing the day of the wedding and we while we were hoping to be able to have the ceremony outside, we had good alternate plans if not. They were flexible and so accommodating. Thankfully, the sun came out a half hour before the ceremony and we were able to have cocktail hour outside as well. The rain held off until we were under the tent. Everyone was comfortable under the tent even when the rain came down hard. It’s an amazing space.
    A huge bonus is having access to the bride and groom suites all day. The 9 bridesmaids and bride all got ready there and it was plenty of room for everyone. The hair and makeup professionals we had come in kept commenting on what awesome space it was. The 7 groomsmen and groom arrived and were able to hang out, play video games and billiards, eat and relax. There are several areas on the property to take amazing pictures and have a beautiful first look.

    I would give this location and the staff ten stars if I could. We have no complaints..only praise. That this was accomplished in less than three weeks and deal with hurricane damage is honestly miraculous. Every guest I spoke to raved about the venue. We have three other daughters and would love to see them married here. We loved it that much. I can not recommend Estate at Eagle Lake enough. You will not be disappointed.

    FYI: We also used Sensational Hosts as our caterer and I would also highly recommend them as well.
    We also rented some beautiful pieces and tent lighting from Deb at Relic Redo. She was excellent to work with and went beyond to help with getting the property ready.

    Estate at Eagle Lake became my home for my wedding day

    I honestly do not even know where to begin with how absolutely amazing and perfect The Estate at Eagle Lake is for a wedding. The views are absolutely magnificent and the flexibility and range of activities is endless. The entire week up until the morning of my wedding day it was raining. I was convinced everything would have to be indoors, which is under a beautiful, heated tent which connects to the bunker for indoor dancing, an amazing sound system, and not to mention the bride and groom get ready suite and kitchen. However, Scott himself, was outside clearing leaves and making sure the area was dry up until the very morning of the wedding. The Estate at Eagle Lake is his home, his very own creation, and becomes your home for the day. It truly has everything you need including large bridal and groom suites, kitchen, shower, hang out room with Smart TVs, and it is all tucked behind two doors that is separate from the reception area. I absolutely loved having everything I wanted in one location. The ceremony is beyond beautiful by the lake and the entire grounds are perfect for pictures, especially on top of the bunker. The reception area is beautiful and the ability to be inside the bunker, out in the tent, or even outside by the bonfire at the beach, was the perfect spot to snag my husband for a quick break from the crowds. All I can promise is that anyone who picks The Estate at Eagle Lake will have everything they want and more.

    The Estate at Eagle Lake's reply:

    Your review is "everything we -appreciate- and more". Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a wonderful review so soon after your wedding day. You are the best Ariana, and we're so glad to be a part of your great new adventure together!

    Amazing venue/experience!

    We found Estate at Eagle Lake by searching Google. We knew we didn't want to get married in a ballroom setting, and we love the outdoors. We had toured a few other venues before arriving at the Estate, but once we walked in we knew we found our spot. Scott and Deb were super helpful and responsive with any questions and our day was perfect!

    The Estate at Eagle Lake's reply:

    Emily thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience. Your are a beautiful happy couple and we've linked photos of your wedding with many of our inquiry replies. The beauty of Eagle Lake is what couples bring to it, and we are over flowing in joy and abundance.

    Great day had by all!

    Great location for our fall time wedding! The grounds and facilities work very well for our wedding size (100) guests. Needless to say the property was very professionally maintained and no one had but good things to say about our entire experience at The Estate at Eagle Lake.

    The Wedding of My Dreams

    This venue speaks for itself! My husband and I love being outside and we had a picture perfect summer day. I did minimal décor outside because I didn't want to take away from the elegance of the landscape. Scott was wonderful and a pleasure to work with. Thank you for making our day great!

    Our Dream Outdoor Wedding Spot

    Deciding to have our wedding at the Estate at Eagle lake was hands down one of the easiest wedding choices my husband and I made. We were very excited to find this venue online through Wedding Wire, and when we got to see it in person we fell in love with the property. The venue truly speaks for itself with all that it has to offer, and we could see that Scott puts his heart into his work and the service he provides. Meeting and working with Scott was also a pleasure. He is warm and personable and worked so well with us to make sure that our wedding day ran smoothly. Our favorite thing about this venue was that everything was in one spot. We had the entire venue to ourselves for the whole day, there was a beautiful bridal suite where we got ready, the ceremony took place by the beautiful lake on the grounds, it had plenty of parking, the tented area for the reception was gorgeous, and our guests were free to explore and enjoy the charming natural settings this venue had to offer.

    Perfect location for our wedding

    From the moment we walked onto the property we knew that Eagle Lake was special. It perfectly captured the relaxed, but elegant feeling we wanted for our wedding. The landscaping is immaculate and offers a variety of places for people to wander and excellent backgrounds for photos. Our ceremony was in June and while it was warm outside, the underground section and tent offered comfortable, cool areas.

    Working with the owner, Scott, and his associate Deb was incredibly easy and both were responsive and coordinated well with our other vendors. Deb runs a very reasonably priced decoration rental service that we used to have lawn games (over-sized wooden jenga, connect-four, etc) that guests greatly enjoyed.

    We whole-heartedly recommend the Estate at Eagle Lake!

    The Estate at Eagle Lake's reply:

    Debbie and I thank you so much for this kind review on Christmas day. This is what Christmas is all about and we cherish your gift.
    Merry Christmas to a beautiful pair of Newlyweds, come back and visit us often and have a happy New Year.

    The Estate at Eagle Lake

    The Estate at Eagle Lake provided our family the quintessential wedding venue. Our summer time wedding on the grounds of Eagle Lake offered beautiful winding pathways, inviting beach front and five star accommodations in the Bridal suite. Lush greens and lavish colors adorned the ceremony. We could not have asked for a more accommodating host, Scott created not only a fairy-tale venue for our daughter but also moved us through each aspect of the experience with ease and creativity. Scott saw our vision and helped us bring it to life for our daughter. Estate at Eagle Lake is a must for any venue wedding our otherwise.

    The Estate at Eagle Lake's reply:

    I can add that it was 100 degrees that day and the outdoor ceremony was stunning. We had outdoor fans for your guests and shade in the gardens. If it was going to be hot, your daughters wedding was the coolest place to be that day. Plus, all your fabulous touches and cool crowd made everything we did radiate with delight. Thank you so much for the review.

    Perfect venue

    THIS PLACE IS A GEM! The property is so beautiful it’s like straight out of a movie! No matter where you go on the property it is gorgeous! The owner Scott is ALWAYS adding something fixing something doing something to make the place ever more perfect! Brianna the event coordinator/wedding planner is something special. I would be lying if I said I could have done any of my wedding without her! She is truly something spectacular in this industry! You CANNOT go wrong with this venue I can promise that!

    NJ's hidden wedding venue gem!

    The Estate at Eagle Lake was exactly what we were looking for in a wedding venue! Beautiful, unique, and easy to customize. Scott and Deb were a breeze to work with and made sure that every detail of our day was perfect. We had a relatively small wedding (about 75 people) which worked great at the venue - plenty of space for guests to spread out and enjoy themselves. Would highly recommend The Estate at Eagle Lake!

    The Estate at Eagle Lake's reply:

    The two of you were so wonderful I felt like I was enjoying my own daughters wedding. Thank you for the wonderful review, can’t wait to see you again, soon I hope. Enjoy your first holiday together as a family. Love Scott

    "Fairy Tale Wedding" - in the words of my guests

    This was the most gorgeous venue. We kept going from place after place and getting the same kind of feel (wedding hall, another wedding hall, etc.). Finally when we were at the Estate at Eagle Lake there was a place that was so beautiful, an awesome suite to get ready in, gorgeous views, and a beautiful country location next to a lake. All of our guests were talking about how beautiful it was all day and in every conversation I've had about the wedding since. Scott and Debbie were very nice to and key to making sure our day went off without a hitch. I'm so glad we chose this venue to have our special day at.

    Disappointing

    The grounds are nice but the wedding planner got everyone there to hate me by telling everyone any criticism I made to the services we were PAYING for. Owner was nasty to me when my husband isn't around, lets angry vendors into the bridal suite to yell at me on what should have been a happy time.
