Venue of my dreams
Fernbrook Farms is an absolute dream of a venue. There are so many opportunities to tailor the venue to your needs and Teri and her team are extremely responsive and helpful. I will never get tired of hearing how beautiful our wedding was, how fabulous the food was, and how smooth and perfectly timed the day was. As a bride, I felt so relaxed knowing Teri and her team knew my vision and were doing everything to make it come alive. I cannot recommend this venue enough. -

Meze Sent on 05/19/2024Beautiful venue, delicious food, amazing service
Fernbrook is a magical place, with a old-world feel that hits the spot for anyone that loves whimsical gardens, romantic ceremony spaces and farm-to-table food that is so yummy you'll be coming back for more.
We were looking for a venue that had a lot of green spaces, a elegant indoor space and a really great rain option (just in case). Lucky that we made that a priority because we had rain! Teri and her team are wonderful - I greatly appreciated their experience because they helped us make the day so happy, fun, and beautiful. They are honest in their advice too - I never felt as if they were trying to get us to spend on extras we didn't need, rather helped us work with our budget to make sure the important things were covered. We did not need a wedding planner or day-of coordinator because Teri, her assistant, and the rest of the team were so organized and helpful.
If you are on the edge about getting the overnight package - get it! It meant that we could hang out with our family and enjoy the space even after the wedding was over. Oh, and the breakfast was delicious too! It also gave us some extra time to pack things up at the end so we didn't have to worry about that right after the wedding.
Food was delicious! We had guests from all over the world and everyone was so happy with the food. The short-rib especially got extra high praise. Myself and several family members are also gluten-free and Fernbrook was helpful in making sure almost all the menu was GF.
The clear-top tent is also very much worth it! If there was one thing I could advise the venue is to just keep that up all season. Once dark the lights make it look like a beautiful starry sky. Well worth it!
We had an amazing party and cant recommend Fernbrook enough. We hope to go back for one of their events some time soon!

Fernbrook is a dream!
We knew the second we saw the Inn at Fernbrook Farms that it had to be our wedding venue. The grounds are beautiful for an outdoor ceremony, the tent is really dreamy, and the Inn itself is so special and quaint.
Teri, Jenny, Dan, and the entire team are professionals and know the Inn and its grounds inside and out. Teri did an awesome job of creating a day-of timeline. Having our bridal party all gather at the Inn before the ceremony was really fun, as was having breakfast there the next morning with our families. :)
The Inn is a really special place and we can't wait to be back for other events there (their farm-to-table dinners are amazing). We are so happy we found Fernbrook 💛 -

Incredible Wedding Experience
We got married at Fernbrook on 09.30.23. From our first meeting with Teri and the team back in 2022, all the way through the end of our wedding weekend, our experience was exceptional. To start, the venue itself is stunning (as you'll know if you've visited). On the logistical side, the planning process with Teri was perfect. At Fernbrook, you truly have the flexibility to make the day your own - and at the same time, the team there has the savvy and expertise to make sure your day runs exactly as you'd hope it would. Now that it's all said and done, I can say that we had a smooth planning process, a wonderful wedding day (+great photos!), and an overall excellent experience at Fernbrook.
We are so grateful to Teri and the team. To any couples looking at potential venues for their big day: we strongly, strongly recommend The Inn at Fernbrook Farms. -

Alexis Sent on 09/09/2023If you are getting married; choose Fernbrook Farms!
My husband and I got married at Fernbrook farms back in May. Our experience was nothing short of amazing! Terry and Jenny made the experience of planning our wedding a breeze. They were very easy to get in contact with and always available to answer questions. They guided us along the way, and helped us make decisions that seem impossible at that time. They really helped take the stress out of planning by handling everything behind the scenes, all the way up to the day of when Jenny and Terry tirelessly tracked the weather, and made it possible for us to have our ceremony outdoors despite the rain, like we always imagined. The food was absolutely delicious and I still have family members raving about it! The ground are so well kept and made for the most gorgeous background in our photos. Our bridal party stayed overnight at the Inn, all the rooms are beautifully decorated. It was such a special touch and wonderful ending to the night. I am very thankful for the staff at Fernbrook farms for making our wedding dreams come true! -

We had our wedding here at the end of June 2023. It fit our vision for an outdoor tented wedding that can be as upscale as you want it to be. Teri and her team were accommodating and responsive throughout the entire planning process. It was pouring rain on our wedding day up until 5 minutes before the ceremony start time. My husband and I were set on having our ceremony in the intimate and beautiful sundial garden, boxed in by tall hedges. Teri and her team did everything they could to make it happen for us, wiping down seats and all last minute and working with our vendors. Everyone had an amazing time! The food was farm-to-table fresh and delicious; desserts too. -

Our wedding at Fernbrook Farms was absolutely epic, but before I get to the wedding itself, I have to first comment on the pleasure of working with Teri, Fernbrook’s Events Manager. Teri and I worked very closely for months to bring our vision to life. She’s super responsive and a great collaborative partner. She’s detail-oriented and extremely organized - I dunno how she manages to keep all the info straight for all the couples she’s working with at once. Teri was unbelievably accommodating to my family and all of our requests to make our wedding feel super personal and to meet our vision. She remains calm under pressure, always finds a solution, and made the wedding planning process (as a bride with no wedding planner) pretty seamless.
The wedding itself at Fernbrook was unbelievable. Our ceremony at the tree was beautiful and our guests got to explore the lush grounds at Fernbrook. It was awesome also having the Inn for some of my family to spend the night; also the pool table and library in the Inn was a great respite from dancing. The layout of the entire space (ceremony area, cocktail area, Inn, reception tent) made the wedding flow perfectly. The food was super fresh and tasty, there’s SO MANY appetizers and entrees to select from when building your cocktail hour and reception menu. Also our spiced wedding cake was unique and delicious.
10/10 experience. Having our wedding at Fernbrook was an incredible experience. All of our guests raved about the beauty of the farm and each area of the venue. I wish I could go back and experience the night again! -

Dan S. Sent on 10/25/2022Terrific Team for an Amazing Day
We decided to have our wedding at the Inn at Fernbrook after getting a recommendation from a family friend. We could not have been happier with our decision. Teri and her team were unbelievably helpful in both coordinating leading up to the day as well as executing on the day. Unfortunately for us, it rained, but with the help of Teri and her team, we already had a beautiful extra tent set up, which may have made the venue even more incredible. The food was also incredible. Most people say you don't eat during your wedding. I made sure to eat as much of the delicious apps and main courses as possible. It did not disappoint. I also would love to give a special shoutout to the chef, Becky. She recreated a special pie recipe for us to cut instead of a cake and it was spot on and really helped to make our day special. Would whole heartedly recommend the Inn at Fernbrook. -

From the moment we drove up to this venue we knew it was the one. The grounds are absolutely stunning, the food is SO good and fresh (people are still talking about that!), and the entire team was amazing. Teri & Rob were always very responsive and helpful when it came to bringing out dream set-up / day to life. The day of our wedding there was a huge rainstorm and tornado warning and that didn't matter one bit. They all had it under control and we had the best night of our lives. 10000% would recommend over and over. Wish we could relive it! Tornado and all. -

Beautiful venue; fantastic team
As a neurotic perfectionist, I was very thankful for the team at Fernbrook. Teri and Rob were even more detailed oriented than I was - they made sure we focused on all the right things at the right times, asked the questions we hadn't thought about, and helpfully provided their expert advise when we were stuck. (They also put us at ease by making sure we weren't focusing on things we didn't need to). The day of was seamless - from being cognizant of our guests' needs and dietary restrictions, to remembering a special birthday surprise. Our guests raved about the food (to this day we still get comments about how delicious the cake was) and loved exploring the beautiful grounds. Having our celebration at Fernbrook was one of the best decisions we made - thank you to the entire Fernbrook team! (Photo by HeyKaris) -

Dream come true
The staff at the Inn at Fernbrook farms absolutely made all of our dreams come true and more. Everything was absolutely gorgeous and I did not have a single moment of stress on our wedding day because the staff is so incredible I knew we were in great hands. We got so many compliments on the beauty of the venue but also the amazing food. This food seriously cannot be topped. At the end of our wedding we were so sad to say goodbye to people who had truly become our friends over the last year planning this event. I cannot recommend them enough. They think of everything and take such care to make sure your day is everything you dreamed of. It is pure magic. -

My Fairytale Wedding come to life
The Inn at Fernbrook farms is a true gem. We had our wedding there on October 2, 2021, and all I can say is WOW! Terri and her team truly made our dream day come to life, and left no end unturned. We had the entire estate and grounds to ourselves, and even got to stay overnight in the 7 bedroom home, with a breakfast for 18 people the morning after, which was all homemade farm fresh and so delicious! This was all included in our price. My bridal party got ready there, and the Bridal suite has 4 rooms and a large bathroom, it was such a perfect and special space for us to get ready. We chose to have our Wedding Ceremony in the Sundial garden, this space is so whimsical, something straight out of a storybook! Our cocktail hour was held in the Summer House, which is a gazebo area on the property with a bar and gorgeous views of the property. We then had our reception in their gorgeous tented area, which created the most romantic and enchanting ambience. We chose to have a family style dinner, which are guest loved because they got to try both of our main courses. Everything was delicious, farm to table and all of the guests raved. Our cake, and deserts were so wonderful, we also added the Retro Coffee Trailer that served the most amazing, and delightful specialty coffees, and finally s’mores by the our door fire hearth! All of our guest are still raving about how they have never attended such a beautiful wedding in their lives. We cannot thank Terri and her team enough for making our Dream Storybook wedding come to life! -

Marisa Sent on 11/04/2021Best location with the best team for the best day
As soon as I went to visit this venue (my 1st officual venue visit) I knew it was the beautifull scenic backdrop that I wanted for my dream Fall wedding. At the initial visit I toured the grounds with Teri where she showed me all of the ceremony options, cocktail locations and thw breathtaking hearth located near the reception tent. Teri walked and talked me thriugh it all, but with no pressure. She wasn't trying to make a sale - that wasn't why she was there. She purely wants her brides to have tge romantic wedding they've always wanted, even if it isn't at her venue.
So fast forward - I picked this wonderful place as my venue and was in constant communication with Teri via email. Her response time and content were always perfect. She gave all of the information needed to gently guide you (within reason! Don't expect her to be ablw ro ve your wedsing planner, that's 100% your job aa thw bride unless you choose to hire one) through the process of planning a wedding.
Fast forward to the day before the wedding. I did final run throughs with Teri and her team (Rob and Bonnie) in person and droppes off the various DIY decor for the ceremony/reception. This team is so organized and so well-oiled you don't have to worry about a thing veing missed or looked over. I would trust them with anything. By the time the wedding day came they felt more like close friends than my wedding team.
On the wedding day I worried about NOTHING. If you've been a bride before or have been close to wedding planning in the past you know how invaluable that is. I got to enjoy every moment of my day and they kept everything on track without over-stepping.
The food was absolutely amazing. The appetizers were so unique and thoughtfully prepared. The dinner food was fresh, hot (important! By the time food gets to guests at some locations it's cold 🥶), and absolutwly delicious. The cake was moist (get over it moist-haters) and flavorful.
This was a long review, but they deserve so much more than a positive review. If you're thinking of having your wedding at this particular venue, please don't think twice. You would be miaaing out on thw most effortlessly magical day of your life. -

Nichole Sent on 10/28/2021A Dreamy, Unique Wedding Venue - Still Getting Compliments from Guests
We got married at Fernbrook in September 2021. Our ceremony was in the Sundial Garden, cocktail hour at the Summer House, and reception under the (amazing!) (clear top!) tent. The venue is absolutely stunning, the food is delicious and locally sourced (farm to table). We are still getting compliments from our guests saying it was the best wedding they have ever been to! Our entire day flowed so smoothly, thanks to Teri and Rob being on top of everything. They made this DIY bride's life so much easier in so many ways. Extremely knowledgeable and experienced. This is a venue where you can make your dream wedding vision come to life! -

Jen L. Sent on 09/17/2021Most amazing venue in NJ!!!
As a wedding photographer myself, I have photographed weddings at countless venues, but none hold a candle to the Inn at Fernbrook Farms! To start, the food at Fernbrook is UNREAL! Again, I have eaten a ton of wedding food, but Fernbrook's is special and delicious. Selecting our menu from their farm to table options was incredibly exciting, and everything tasted even more delicious that we imagined! From the cocktail hour bites like corn fritters with pepper jelly, and pulled pork mini blue corn waffles and more....to the family style dinner customized to feature some of our NJ grown favorites like heirloom summer tomatoes...everything was unreal. Our guests raved about the food, and continue to talk about it til this day! In addition to the amazing and unique wedding food menu options, the grounds are simply stunning! You truly get to make your wedding your own by choosing from a variety of ceremony location options. The reception tent is perfect for those like me who love an outdoor wedding through and through! We were also able to have our dog come for the wedding for the whole day which was important to us! The staff was all incredibly friendly, helpful, and kind, even through having to postpone our wedding from the original date because of covid. They were understanding and helpful every step of the way! And one of my favorite parts, renting the inn to sleep over with our bridal party was a highlight! It was so much fun to wind down the night with a bonfire and slumber party with our crew. Fernbrook is a unique venue that let's your create an unforgettable experience for you and your guests on your wedding day! 10/10 HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!! -

COVID ruined our original international wedding plans, but everything happens for a reason and I’m so glad it did! I found the inn at Fernbrook farms online and it had everything I was looking for. Teri was amazing and helpful through the whole process. On the day of our wedding, they set up everything just as I had asked and made sure it was perfect! Beautiful day, awesome staff, and gorgeous venue!! -

Beautiful day
Fernbrook was everything I could have imagined it to be on our wedding day. Even though it rained, Teri had reassured me that the rain played would be beautiful, and it was. I am grateful to have had Teri there for any and all questions I had as a nervous bride! -

Dream come true!
When we dream about our wedding day, all we want is for everything to come together and see our vision come to life. That is what The Inn at Fernbrook Farms did for me! The venue is stunning and the space allowed us to have several options to how we wanted ceremony and reception to look/set up. Even now, my friends and family that attend the wedding continue to boast about how fun and beautiful the wedding was. The food was spectacular and memorable leaving everyone wanting more! I'm so sad the day is now over but the day was all captured in our photos. Every part of Fernbrook is a photo op, from the rustic stone wall, the open blooming fields, timeless architect, to the massive fireplace you will not be short of options! Loved every moment and hearing my guest love it as much as I did, says it all!!! -

Our Saving Grace
After to cancel the wedding in California due to the pandemic, we had only 20 days to figure out a new plan with just our immediate family. Fernbrook Farms was able to get us in, was flexible with our COVID precautions, and truly made our day more special than we could have imagined. At a small but mighty 16 person wedding, we had more fun than we imagined. Thank you!! -

Kristen Sent on 12/04/2019Fernbrook Farms - I'm obsessed
To say I was/am obsessed with our wedding venue would probably be an understatement! Fernbrook was my dream come true, my perfect, fall, rustic wedding. If I could relive the day over and over in slow motion I would. Teri, Kristen and the rest of the staff were so helpful, attentive and truly went above and beyond for us from day one. They made sure our day was perfect and stress free down to every detail. Teri was even found in the house playing with our 2 year old son at one point to help my mom keep him occupied. They truly cared that we had the best day from start to finish.
The food was AMAZING and my guests are still raving! The Farm to Table, Family Style dinner was such a unique touch.
The venue it self, with it's quaint, Bed & Breakfast style Estate house, beautiful grounds and rustic touches was beyond what I ever dreamed. Friends and Family are still telling us how beautiful it was there and how they have never been to a wedding like!
Thank you Fernbrook, Teri & Kristen for making all of our dreams come true! -

Suzanne Sent on 07/26/2019Absolutely amazing!
Fernbrook Farms was everything we had hoped for in a wedding venue! We loved the farm and grounds itself, and the touch of old-fashioned Inn was just perfection. I personally love that there's a farm store on the property, along with a beautiful sunflower field. Beyond the beauty of the property, I cannot say enough about the staff. Teri & Kristin, along with their whole team, are so accommodating and helpful. Their flexibility is key and made for an absolutely PERFECT wedding day, even though the weather wasn't completely in our favor. Their back up plan was well thought out, and we very much appreciated that. The chef, Bill, was very friendly and accommodating as well. Food is definitely his expertise, as everything was DELICIOUS! We visited Fernbrook many times from the moment we booked our wedding (which was on July 6, 2019). We just love being there, and cannot wait to go back again! -
Tatiana Sent on 07/22/2018It was a fairy tail wedding. No pictures can really capture the divine beauty of Fernbrook farms. My wedding planner, who's seen many venues, said it's by far the most charming place she's been to. The guests, the musicians, the minister - all kept telling us how incredible the venue was. Trees, fields, gardens, flowers, blossoms everywhere you look. The Inn is magical, our family stayed overnight. The team is wonderful and extremely professional. I can not imagine a more perfect setting. It was a dream.

Erin Sent on 11/13/2014I seriously am in Love with Fernbrook Farms! I looked high and low for a venue that it had Fernbrook's style and charm and it took me months to find it. I happened to come across them on a rustic wedding site (it didn’t come up on any google/misc. searches I had done); and from the moment I drove up the driveway I knew I had found my venue. Fernbrook is a working farm & inn combined. The venue itself is beautiful and the staff are nothing short of amazing. I also held my rehearsal at Fernbrook the Friday night before my wedding and had most of my bridal party stay at the inn with me (both nights), if you can do this – I highly recommend it! It made for a great weekend with my closest friends and family and it truly was a weekend I’ll never forget. The place is so amazing and you have an multitude of options when and if you book them. We decided to hold our ceremony at Fernbrook as well (you can get married in the fields or one of the gardens and they also have golf carts for any guests that have trouble getting around) and had our best friend officiate (if you can do this I also recommend it). For pictures, forget it – the property is huge and there’s endless places to shoot. We had free reign of the property and really enjoyed ourselves to the fullest. They are pet friendly so our dog (who was also in our wedding) was able to stay with us at the inn. The Inn was built in the late 1700’s and still has all the old original charm. Everyone that attended my wedding said it was the most beautiful place and we all had a blast! Love, Love, Love Fernbrook!

The Inn at Fernbrook Farms was the venue I fell immediately in love with, along with my husband. It is both rustic and elegant, something that was key for the two of us when selecting a venue. We had the whole property for ourselves for the day and all of our guests loved the venue. The meals are prepared on site by their chef as well as them making the wedding cake too. I am still receiving compliments on how great the food is. They offer several different packages (meal styles) for their couples, they surely can fit the needs of any bride and groom. There are even overnight accommodations with a complimentary breakfast! -
