The Bernards Inn is a wedding venue located in Bernardsville, New Jersey. This luxurious property offers couples a romantic and intimate escape from the hustle and bustle of the big city as they celebrate their wedding. The stylish and sophisticated decor allows couples to create the wedding they’ve always envisioned right down to the finest of details. With dozens of glamorous chandeliers and cozy stone fireplaces, this enchanting site welcomes guests to rejoice in harmony and create memories that will last a lifetime.

Facilities and Capacity

The largest event space at The Bernards Inn is the outstanding Fenwick Ballroom. Featuring large windows, a bar and a dramatic skyline, this 2,300 square foot room makes for large ceremonies and extravagant receptions. The Fenwick Ballroom can be arranged to include seated guests, a dance floor, and live entertainment while accommodating up to 160 guests. Alternatively, this ballroom can be split into two separate event areas for smaller, more quaint festivities.

Meanwhile, Fenwick B is slightly smaller in size and holds celebrations of up to 65 people in a similar layout. Other fabulous rooms include The Bernie, previously known as the Silver Vault and Wine Pantry. These two rooms can be opened up and used together or used as two separate rooms. When renting the space, you get the entire space. The Silver Vault, with its exposed brick walls, wooden beamed ceilings, and overhanging chandeliers, rustic bar and banquette seats. Used on its own, this space makes for great banquets and can seat up to 40 guests. The equally impressive rustic Winery Pantry, features stoned walls, chandeliers and cozy seating. When used in accordance with the Silver Vault, this area makes for a maximum of 5 oval tables with a maximum of 55 guests for dinner, while dancing is held in the adjoining vault with the extended dance floor option. The Bernie is a great space for a cocktail hour before entering into our Fenwick Ballroom.

Excellent Value & Service

We had to cancel (twice!) due to COVID. When we booked a third time, Amanda at The Bernards Inn was so nice, helpful, and responsive. She made it so easy for us. Amanda & the rest of the staff at the BI went out of their way to make sure our vision for our wedding was realized, and we could not have asked for a better team of people helping us. I would 100% recommend the BI for anyone planning a wedding in NJ. Thank you, especially to Amanda, for making our experience so easy and a dream come true!

Great team, food & service. Beautiful reception venue.

We held our cocktail hour, wedding reception & after party at the Bernards Inn - the team (Amanda for all the planning & Felix on the day of) were great to work with and helped our vision come to life! They were understanding throughout the planning process and accommodating with everything from our menu and timeline to requests for the hotel throughout the weekend and provided recommendations on other vendors. We had a lot of guests traveling in and ended up blocking the whole hotel and were supported with a myriad of requests related to that. We loved the very special, unique & memorable cocktail hour in the Silver Vault Wine Pantry. The reception in the ballroom was perfect for our wedding of just over 100 people with a good size dancefloor and a 7 piece band! All the food & drinks were excellent as well as the exceptional service throughout the event - many guests commented on the high level of service - thank you to the staff, Amanda, Felix & the rest of team for our beautiful day!
